The slime had a hard time fighting against Theo. It seemed that after the previous defeat, Theo had done everything he could in order to deal with the slime.
He realized that the slime might be strong and a trick wouldn't be useful against absolute power. That was why he increased his strength to a level where the gap between them could be closed with a trick.
And the more annoyed the slime became, the more everything went according to Theo's plan.
Though, Theo couldn't really feel that happy. The slime might be annoyed by all these cheap tricks, but the longer the battle passed, the more the slime got used to it. By that time, all kinds of tricks he used would be useless.
That was why he had to finish this battle as soon as possible.
One of the two Theos pointed his hands at the slime, using the Inverted World once again.
The slime suddenly changed its tactic. The reason why Theo could easily remove the slime was because he was moving pretty slowly due to his giant body.
Hence, the slime changed his approach. He knew that he couldn't move that quickly, so instead of moving quickly, he used something that disrupted Theo's movement.
"!!!" Theo was startled when numerous rocks suddenly flew toward him. The other Theo used his Magic Power to form a shield while the other Theo continued removing the slime.
However, among those rocks hid a few rocks that originated from the water that was crystalized earlier.
With it being covered in slime, the moment this crystalized water hit the barrier, it cracked the barrier. Then, the second one hit, widening the crack. The third one shattered the barrier.
With this, there was nothing left that separated him from the rocks.
"Tsk." Theo clicked his tongue. Theo grabbed the other and used the Blink skill to escape.
When they got out of the slime's range, Theo couldn't help but think, 'As expected, the slime hasn't used all his strength yet. So, what should I do next?'
Everything went according to Theo's plan. He also knew that this wasn't the limit of the slime, considering he was equal to several Saints. There was no way the slime would be this weak.
That was why the first phase of his plan consisted of how to make the slime reveal his strength.
The answer was to annoy him. This way, the slime would attack him with full strength subconsciously. At the same time, Theo also managed to chip away some slime.
Still, when the slime used this kind of power, he realized that the slime might have contained many things inside its body.
'Crystallized water… If I'm not wrong, then the slime must have stored many things. Just like the rocks earlier, he might shoot trees or even real buildings instead of forming a bubble of such a thing.
'There is also a probability of another enemy appearing out of nowhere…'
Now that Theo had finished the first phase of his plan, he stepped up his game. It was obvious that the Inverted World might be the biggest weapon to kill the slime, but that alone wasn't enough.
So, Theo came up with another way to deal with the slime.
He took out his artifact that had been reinforced by the previous God of Reality's abilities.
'Element, Space, Fate, Temperature, Sky, Force, and Earth…' Theo muttered those seven abilities. It was different from the core of his Reality, which was filled with trickery, but it didn't mean they weren't important.
To have an understanding of all seven forces, Theo could even create a better reality to be used in his trick.
That was why when he raised this sword, the air temperature started to decrease. There was an invisible force coming from the sky and the slime suddenly received a vision.
"!!!" The slime's body was shaken because what he saw was Theo cutting his second body.
He thought it was just Theo's illusion at first, but Theo used the Fourth Authority of the Death Avatar, summoning all kinds of red threads from his body. And one of the threads was connected to the second body.
He could dissolve this power, but Theo used his Blink to appear on top of the second body while waving his blade.
"!!!" The slime instinctively summoned numerous spikes from its body, targeting Theo or probably covering Theo's eyes. Without his vision, there was no way Theo could apply his illusion.
However, if he wanted to do it, he had to cover his clone's eyes as well.
By taking advantage of his clone's vision, Theo used his illusion to split the second slime in half.
The slime easily recognized the illusion and began to dissolve it, but the other Theo approached the main body while using the Inverted World.
The main body hurriedly formed a shield in front of its body, trying to block the whirlpool. At the same time, there were a few tentacles that shot rubbles.
If Theo remained, he would be beaten to death.
Surprisingly, Theo didn't care about it. Instead, he used the Irregular Guardian to form a spear. He imbued the Space Ability into this spear.
The spear that would distort the space. Theo believed this in his heart. And with that thought in mind, Theo activated the Inverted World.
Since Theo could erase a part of the slime from the world's system, he could also do the reverse.
In other words, by using the Inverted World, he added the spear that could distort the space into the world system and made it completely real.
He usually used his Authority to make the illusion real, but this was different. The former came from everyone's belief, while the latter was built and registered by the world itself. It had become a fact.
With a single wave of his hand, the spear flew toward the slime.
"!!!" The slime felt something different from this spear and used a few of its tentacles to stop it.
But surprisingly, let alone dissolving it, all the slime that came near the sword suddenly got distorted and pushed away. They simply couldn't touch this spear at all.
'This is…' The slime was truly shaken by this weird power that he seemed to need his trump card to stop it.
