If they could obtain those two divine artifacts, then even with the addition of the previously fallen four Zodiac Beasts, the Dragon, Tiger, and Sheep, their collective might would not necessarily be at a disadvantage.
The aggregate strength of the twelve Zodiac Beasts could possibly not only remain intact but increase substantially.
Now... it's all ruined...
With so many from the Peak Divine Realm, and with a premeditated plan, the fact that they let some of the upper-class Divine Realm and two Peak Divine Realm escape seemed utterly ridiculous to them.
The Blue Lotus God Monarch was on their side, unbeknownst to them... The knowledge likely lay with the higher echelons... Like the Divine Emperor and a few from the Peak Divine Realm!
Keeping this from them, could it be that the adversary had already devised a stratagem?
And this is the outcome of their designs?
The ones who escaped, the upper-class Divine Realm and Peak Divine Realm, did not flee in a single group!
