Inverted World.
Erase.
The slime hurriedly expanded the connection, causing the slime underneath the ground to burst. This way, Theo wouldn't be able to erase it since he had to handle the burst first.
The eruption forced Theo to stop and move away to avoid getting covered by the slime. However, the slime wouldn't be able to make a reckless attack anymore. After all, he had identified the slime's weakness. One wrong move would cause a huge blow to the slime.
The slime became more and more annoyed by Theo's intelligence. He thought that it was impossible to persuade Theo. In fact, if Theo would ever be persuaded, he must be plotting something. He would be too dangerous to be kept alive.
Even if his life could be controlled if he were to be reborn with the slime body, Theo might be able to outsmart him.
That was why the slime had changed his approach toward Theo. There was no need to be good to Theo anymore. He had to be removed.
When the slime thought about it, his body subconsciously emitted the killing intent.
Theo felt the overwhelming killing intent, but he wasn't afraid. If it was killing intent, he also had it.
Theo summoned his Death Avatar and used the First Authority, Death Eyes. The immeasurable killing intent was released.
Theo's killing intent was so powerful that it completely overwhelmed the slime's killing intent and took control of the atmosphere.
The slime immediately sent forth multiple tentacles toward Theo, trying to stop his killing intent.
Although killing intent wasn't really affecting him, it didn't change the fact that it looked like he had lost to Theo.
Hence, he had to take back the superiority.
The slime around the area started dissolving the killing intent itself while those near Theo surrounded him.
Theo looked around, noticing the power of this slime. He realized that Blink wouldn't be able to help him get out since the power would be dissolved first before he could even reach the other side.
This would be a grim situation if only his opponent wasn't Theo. Suddenly, a few whirlpools appeared on a few tentacles. These whirlpools erased the slime's existence. Theo used that gap to escape.
However, these whirlpools weren't created by him. Instead, it was Theo's clone. The clone suddenly appeared next to Theo when he came out.
The slime became even more annoyed. He never thought that Theo would have a power that could completely counter his advantage.
He never lost to anyone because he could continuously regenerate his slime that was bounced away. Even when Loki and Feng Hao chipped away his slime, he could generate it after some time.
That was why if they wanted to defeat him, they had to chip all his body away in a short period of time.
However, Theo's power was different. He could completely erase his slime. No matter what he did, he couldn't generate his slime if there was nothing to generate. In other words, Theo's power was trying to reduce him back to nothing.
If this continued, Theo would surely win.
Of course, Theo didn't have enough energy to use the Inverted World until the slime was completely erased. However, he did have his clone that could continuously use that ability and have his energy replenished by simply making another copy of the real Theo.
In other words, what he had to do was either force the real Theo to spend his energy or kill the clone every time he appeared.
The latter wouldn't do much to Theo, but the former was hard to do. Theo was a master of illusion.
When he fought him and his clone, there was no telling whether the one he hit was the real one or the clone.
That was why the slime had no choice but to attack both him and the clone simultaneously.
The second slime body tried to attack the second Theo while the main body planned to kill this first Theo, who seemed to be more threatening.
The first slime body launched multiple bubbles into the air. These red bubbles had different shapes and sizes.
Theo looked at them while clicking his tongue. He tried to fly around with his Telekinesis, but it seemed that the bubbles were formed by the things it had swallowed previously.
He could find a car, a tree, a small brick, or even a huge building among them. Due to the difference in speed, size, and shape, he had a hard time flying around because there might be something small that suddenly sneaked up on him or a humongous bubble that swallowed him with its huge body.
"…" Theo narrowed his eyes. The slime was clever. The bubbles seemed to be made of water vapor instead of the slime's body. This way, the slime wouldn't really lose any body part if Theo decided to use his power to erase the bubble.
Meanwhile, the second slime body had a different approach. Due to its smaller size, it couldn't reproduce the attack that the main body used.
Hence, the second slime body actually changed its body shape from a half sphere to a complete sphere. Then, a few tentacles appeared, but this time, the tentacles seemed to have a hole in the tip.
"!!!" Theo widened his eyes in surprise. The slime was actually bursting out water from the hole.
'The tentacles are hollow?' Theo thought while trying to avoid the water. Because of the number of tentacles, his movement was limited. He even had to use his Magic Power to create a barrier that blocked the water for some time.
At the same time, he also noticed that the water had a similar attribute. It could dissolve his power, but because it was water, not slime, it had to touch the target to dissolve it.
Still, there was something that perplexed him.
'Is the water the slime's element? Or is it the groundwater buried underground? Since the slime can penetrate the ground, it is possible that there is something that sucks the groundwater if there's any… This might be a bit more annoying than I thought.' Theo took a deep breath, trying to calm his heart.
