The slime sent numerous tentacles. Instead of sending them to the God of Mischief, all those tentacles headed straight to the ground.
Loki raised his hand and formed a huge blade, trying to cut all these tentacles in one swing.
But as expected, the slime poured more power into the ones near Loki, making it thick enough to stop Loki's attack.
Still, Loki managed to cut down half of the tentacles easily with his power. Unfortunately, the other half managed to reach the ground.
The slime immediately did two things. First, the tentacles pulled the slime back to the ground.
Even though there was no gravity in the area, the slime could still return to the ground by attaching itself to the ground.
That led to the second thing. Some of the tentacles didn't attach themselves to the ground. Instead, they started pouring more slime into the ground to reinforce it in case Loki used its weird power again.
The slime knew that Loki wouldn't be able to keep this ability up for a long time. The World Re-Creation could reconstruct a world and create a realm for only them, but the Magic Power used to maintain such a realm was extraordinary.
Loki also didn't have any intention of using this ability for a long time. It was true that this ability allowed him to gain a massive advantage against the slime, but the slime would soon realize his trick sooner or later. So, it was better to just use it to probe the slime before saving it for the important moment.
Once the slime attached itself to the ground, Loki looked at the slime with a calm expression as if he didn't care what the slime did.
It seemed that their battle had just begun.
Although the slime looked like he was focusing on Loki, his slime was still tracking the Heavenly Sovereign, trying to prevent him from using another trick.
"…" The Heavenly Sovereign obviously sensed the moving slime underneath the ground. He looked down before jumping back into the sky, making him easily visible.
He turned to Loki and said, "It seems that the slime is more cautious this time. What should we do?"
"There is nothing much. This realm will be destroyed in six minutes. So, I'm going to probe its strength for a bit. I am amazed that there is such a creature born in this world." Loki narrowed his eyes, wondering how this slime came into this world.
On the one hand, he wanted to believe that this was one of the calamities that came from humanity's biggest mistakes. On the other hand, he still couldn't connect all the points that led to the creation of this slime.
"Dissolve, huh." Loki narrowed his eyes.
"Have you figured out something?" The Heavenly Sovereign asked.
"I'm not sure for now. Besides, we should do our best while this realm is intact." Loki shook his head helplessly. He moved forward while waving both hands.
Two huge swords appeared next to him. It seemed that Loki knew that one sword wasn't enough if he wanted to kill the slime, so he used his extra Magic Power to form the second sword.
The slime had experienced those swords, so he didn't plan to take these swords head-on anymore.
When Loki swung the first sword, the slime immediately shifted its body. The slime might have a slow movement, but it could easily change the form of its body to circle around the sword, making it miss. This way, he wouldn't be touched by the sword or affected by Loki's power.
It was a miraculous power that he couldn't even comprehend, so it wasn't good to take it head-on.
The slime also avoided the second sword. Then, he formed multiple tentacles to attack Loki before he could recover the two swords.
Loki looked at these tentacles for a moment before waving his hand. Suddenly, multiple tentacles appeared out of thin air. Instead of red slime, these tentacles were made of blue slime.
The tentacles faced each other. Surprisingly, when the red slime used its power to dissolve the blue tentacles, the latter were doing the same thing. It felt like his red slime was being erased to nothing.
It made the slime wonder if it was safe to approach him or not.
Loki finally used another skill called Illusion Reflection. He managed to recreate the tentacles and even their characteristics.
The red slime had no choice but to pull back to understand Loki's power better. He never expected there would be someone like Loki on humanity's side. Still, it didn't mean Loki was better.
It was true that Loki didn't have overwhelming battle power after all. Also, Loki might be in an advantageous position, but he couldn't kill the slime that easily. That was why this fight might take longer than expected.
The slime knew about that fact as well, thus the reason why he was still confident even though Loki had been winning the battle the whole time.
The Heavenly Sovereign glanced at Loki for a moment as if he was trying to say something.
Before he finished, he had clapped his hands.
It seemed that the Heavenly Sovereign couldn't lay low anymore.
Even though the slime's power was effective against him, he was still the current number two in the world.
He couldn't accept that defeat easily.
Without hesitation, he jumped forth.
A huge fireball appeared on top of the Heavenly Sovereign from the clap earlier. The fireball suddenly took the shape of a giant humanoid, trying to evaporate the slime.
The slime sent a few tentacles to grasp its limbs while the others completely dissolved its source of power.
But right after he captured the humanoid giant, Loki snapped his fingers. Two big swords appeared in front of the giant's hands.
The Heavenly Sovereign smiled as he controlled the giant to grab the two swords and cut the slimes that captured it.
Then, it continued on its path while carrying these two swords. It seemed that Loki was planning to use this giant as his unique sword wielder to cut down the slime.
