Theo's spear continued on its path, distorting everything that stood in its way. This kind of spear shouldn't have existed in the first place. But Theo applied the space element into the spear while using his Inverted World to make an imagination exist.
Unless the slime had another trump card, he wouldn't be able to stop this spear. And with that, he could easily defeat the slime by making multiple containers with this kind of power and sealing the slime before erasing them one by one.
However, the slime didn't plan to let everything go according to Theo's way.
When the spear entered its body, the slime emitted a faint glow.
"Huh?!" Theo furrowed his eyebrows as if he had just sensed something out of this world. "This is… Don't tell me…"
The temperature in the air began to increase as the slime looked like it was releasing extraordinary heat. In addition to the glow, the red slime looked like that of a burning magma.
"Magma?"
In that instant, the spear had to take on both the Dissolve and Magma Power. At first, the spear could distort the space around it, including the power that tried to influence it.
But the slime knew that Theo could only input a single command into it. In other words, the distorted space was only his body.
In that case, what would happen if he changed his body?
The slime was actually turning its body into magma. This way, the space enveloping the spear began to melt.
In the end, the spear was reduced to nothing without being able to harm the slime at all.
"…" Theo frowned. That magma alone was enough for him to speculate a lot of things.
'Don't tell me, the reason for the battle after the volcanic eruption is him? He is actually trying to use the magma for himself? No, with his power, he should be dissolving the magma and absorbing it.
'In that case, there was nothing such as the higher being's interference? Everything that happened was actually caused by him?'
Theo gritted his teeth. On the one hand, he was annoyed that he had made a wrong assumption. On the other hand, he realized that the situation was worse than he originally thought.
The fact that the slime could turn into magma meant he could actually turn into anything that he absorbed. If he had absorbed a diamond, he might turn into one, increasing his toughness. There were also a few other minerals that were supposed to be harder than diamonds in the other world.
If he had absorbed everything in this world, the slime could literally become anything. In addition, there was a possibility that this kind of power was not limited to an object.
He might be able to alter his appearance since he had swallowed monsters and humans.
If the slime turned into a human that had a concentrated slime or even became a flying monster that could fly around freely, the situation would become dire in that instant.
Theo couldn't help but click. The information he had to process increased drastically. And one wrong move might allow the slime to launch a sneak attack.
'Well, I guess he should at least be able to do this much if he wants to be the strongest monster in the world, right?' Theo's expression darkened.
He used his Inverted World to create something, but if the slime turned into something else that could counter his power, all kinds of attacks would just become useless.
In other words, if he wanted to win this, he might have to ask for other people's help. They could release other elemental attacks, which would be effective to him since the slime should only be able to transform into one single thing, not mixing it.
'Still, I have another question… Can he use the power of the thing he absorbed?' Theo frowned.
He wouldn't be able to find an answer no matter how hard he thought. So, he chose to attack the slime to experiment with it.
With a single wave of his hand, Theo summoned a giant scythe with his Irregular Guardian.
At the same time, the Death Avatar emerged from his shadow and grabbed the scythe.
Theo applied the ice element and put it into an absolute zero. It shouldn't be able to exist since it was the lowest temperature where there was no motion and heat.
However, it was possible with the help of the Inverted World that turned his imagination into reality.
The Death Avatar's hands began to freeze due to the extraordinary coldness from the absolute zero.
That was why Theo used the Death Avatar instead of wielding it himself.
The Death Avatar moved forward, confidently swinging the scythe to hit the slime.
When the magma slime got hit by the absolute-zero scythe, it started to freeze.
"!!!" The slime was surprised by the strength of that absolute zero. But still, there was an exchange of energy.
Even though Theo had used his ability to maintain the state of absolute zero, he still couldn't beat the laws of physics.
So, the scythe gradually warmed up, leaving a state of absolute zero. However, the energy was still strong and continued to freeze the slime.
The slime wasn't planning to lose either. Before Theo could do anything to the frozen part, the slime actually absorbed all that part and covered it with another layer of slime. In addition, that area was turned into ice as if it was trying to match what Theo was planning to do.
This ice was elastic and could easily be reshaped. Meanwhile, the magma had warmed up the scythe to the point it was warm enough that the heat could penetrate the scythe.
The slime took advantage of it by slipping some slime onto the scythe. And those slimes turned into magma. Instead of heating up the scythe, it actually jumped into the Death Avatar's hands, melting it.
"?!" The Death Avatar wanted to finish his swing, but he soon realized that the weight instantly disappeared as his arms were completely severed from his hands. When the Death Avatar raised his head, the slime had already created a wave of slime and engulfed the Death Avatar, dissolving it completely.
"Kh." Theo gritted his teeth, glaring at the slime.
