"I have swallowed every material in this world. No matter what you do, it's useless. You might be strong, but my power is superior to yours. You have no chance of winning, Theodore Griffith. And you shall blame your foolishness when you rejected me!" The slime spoke again.
However, it didn't really matter. Theo had chosen his path, and no matter what, he would win this battle.
Theo summoned another spear with his Irregular Guardian. This time, he imbued Light Element into it.
The slime began emitting golden light. The light was so strong that it would blind everyone near it.
Theo threw this spear toward the slime.
Before, the slime was still adjusting to his trump card. But now that he had gotten used to it, he sent forth three tentacles to stop this light.
The tentacles had a similar appearance. All of them were black and they seemed to be able to absorb everything.
That alone was enough to let him know that this was Original Theo's ability.
The Devouring Power was like that of a black hole where the light couldn't escape.
Theo's expression became worse and worse.
It seemed that all his power wouldn't work against the slime.
Hence, Clone Theo chose to attack this time. He pointed his palm at the slime and used the Inverted World in its original form. He tried to erase the slime's existence.
The slime started to disappear. Even the Devouring Power couldn't deal with it. However, once the slime turned into a blue metal, the distortion suddenly stopped.
"!!!" Theo was startled because the information he had to work with had changed.
Noticing the slight change in the ability, the slime couldn't help but be happy. "It seems that your power is similar to mine. You can erase something that you have understood. Just now, I have used that dead human's power to change my body continuously. That way, you wouldn't be able to erase me without processing the new information."
The slime didn't even bother to hide what he had done earlier. After all, Theo should already know what the Heavenly Sovereign was capable of. And it wouldn't really take a long time for Theo to realize it.
In fact, by telling him, he could taunt Theo even more. At first, Theo might not be someone who could be easily disturbed by cheap provocation. But if he kept doing it while pushing Theo back, there would come a time when Theo snapped. He had just to wait for that opportunity.
Theo hadn't given up.
He and his clone moved in opposite directions while pointing their hands toward the slime.
The latter sent forth multiple tentacles. They seemed to be ready to change into anything to counter Theo's ability. When they were close enough, they would then dissolve Theo.
Still, Theo didn't hesitate to release his attack.
*Bam!*
With a single punch, a thunderclap reverberated in everyone's ears as the shock wave coming from the sound exploded and blew away the tentacles.
Surprisingly, the slime got splattered from this kind of attack. So, the slime changed its form into that of a metal so that it couldn't be blown away.
But this was what Theo had been waiting for. A sword suddenly appeared in front of his hand.
The clone grabbed it and swung downwards by using the illusion. The tentacle that hardened earlier suddenly got cut with the illusion.
The tentacles around the clone ended up hitting and dissolving him, but the clone had done his job.
Now that a part of the tentacle was cut from the main body, Theo immediately used his power to remove it.
"!!!" Theo's actions startled the slime. Since the connection had been severed, even if it was just an illusion, the slime couldn't pour any Magic Power into the tentacle, let alone change its form.
And during that time, Theo used the Inverted World to erase that tentacle.
Theo couldn't help but smirk, saying, "Thanks for being a fool."
The slime's body shook. He never thought Theo would sacrifice his clone just for a single attack. In addition, Theo even waited for the slime to turn into something else.
"As expected, you can't turn back or dissolve my power when you are changing your form…" Theo said.
As he said, the slime had changed the attribute of his body. This way, the dissolve power should hide for the time being since he didn't want to absorb his own body because it was made of different things from his slime.
But Theo took advantage of that timing to cut his tentacle and remove it. With this, Theo had cut more than ten percent of his body.
"…" The slime became more and more cornered as time passed, even though the slime had just released his trump card.
"It seems that your body is not the only thing that is big. Your mouth is equally big. Unfortunately, you are all bark but no bite." Theo snorted.
Instead of Theo, the slime ended up getting provoked.
"Time!"
"Time? Are you sure you're stopping the time now? Maybe everything is just an illusion."
Suddenly, two people's voices echoed from near them.
Theo and the slime couldn't help but stop for a moment.
It turned out Aiden and Loki ended up coming here or it might be because their battle was so fierce, they ended up reaching this place. They didn't have any intention to intrude on other battlefields, but it seemed that their opponent's strength was stronger than they expected.
Loki couldn't help but glance at the slime. "Oi, oi. How can you be pushed back by him? You should have the strength to kill him, no? Should I tell you about his weakness? No, let's change the strategy. Let's fight together."
Aiden also appeared next to Theo while stating with a calm tone. "It seems that they are planning to get rid of you by fighting together. What are we going to do, Theo?"
Theo and the slime seemed to have the same decision as they replied at the same time. "Yeah. Let's change our plan."
The slime knew that Theo's power might not be comparable to his, but his brain allowed him to surpass him.
Meanwhile, Theo knew that the God of Mischief had seen everything about him. So, he would be at a disadvantage if they fought together. So, it was better to accept the Time God's offer.
However, there was another accident that shook the entire world.
"Gah!" All of a sudden, Theo spat a mouthful of blood with eyes full of shock. "Huh?"
