God Of Tricksters

"…" Theo narrowed his eyes, observing the situation. 'The slime should have more than this kind of power. He only uses something that we have known beforehand. He must be waiting for us to lower our guard down and use a new ability.'

Theo was a bit frustrated with the current situation. It was true that they were in an advantageous position currently, but the moment an unknown variable came, the situation would change drastically.

Theo took a deep breath, trying to find a way to catch the slime off guard.

Seeing the slime using all these abilities, Hel thought she was supposed to be the one in charge. After all, her power was still a bit superior to that of Theo.

She shouted, "Theo. I'm taking the lead."

Theo couldn't help but notice the hidden intention behind those words. It seemed that Hel was planning to exert all the Magic Power she had conserved this whole time in order to inflict great damage on the slime. This way, Theo and the Heavenly Sovereign could somehow defeat the slime.

She might not be able to explain it, but with her death power, she should be able to sense the 'death' of everyone around her, including herself.

"Got it." Theo nodded with a serious expression, knowing that was the only thing they could do at the moment. "I'll support you."

The Heavenly Sovereign remained silent, but she was observing the movement of Theo and his clone. The slime seemed to have put him to the lowest priority as well.

The Heavenly Sovereign couldn't help but smile since this situation was more convenient for him.

Hel clapped her hand. Black-colored energy suddenly came out of her body, creating a sphere and expanding it.

This was Hel's skill called Death Force. According to the description, the Death Force allowed her to borrow the power of the deceased, not in the form of a living dead, but in their soul.

And this was a perfect place to borrow the power.

There were already a lot of monsters and humans dying on this battlefield. It was true that the monsters were formed by the slime body and they didn't have a consciousness. But the humans were different.

Since the connection with Helheim or any other Underworld in the other world had been severed and the void where the souls resided had been destroyed, there was no place where the soul could go in this new world.

That was why they would remain here for a long time unless a new path had been created. Hel was planning to create that path once again, but that would come after defeating the slime.

After all, the slime would absorb the entire world if he won this war. So, there was no need for that kind of place if they lost.

Hel gradually opened her eyes as if feeling everyone's energy. The black-colored energy was leaking out of the ground and gradually flew toward her black sphere. 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝑚

The slime immediately sent forth a few tentacles. Since he didn't have anything to hide anymore, the slime split the tentacles into two. The first side contained the Dissolve power to disintegrate this Death Force. The second side utilized the Devouring power to swallow the Magic Power.

However, he was still underestimating the Goddess of Death. The second type of tentacles got withered the moment they received the Death Energy. Like the slime, who could have an unlimited amount of Magic Power due to the Devouring Power, Hel could borrow people's power, allowing her to damage the slime without using her own Magic Power. All that was left was a battle of endurance.

As for the tentacles with the Dissolve power, they could easily disintegrate the Death Power itself, but the Dissolve Power also withered due to her power.

They seemed to be neutralizing each other at a massive rate. Both had an 'unlimited' Magic Power in this case, but Hel would surely lose first if they chose a battle of endurance.

Theo knew this, so he aided Hel in this battle.

The slime obviously wouldn't allow him to interfere. He shot out numerous objects that contained different elements to stop him. But Clone Theo stood between them and protected the real Theo until he reached Hel's side.

After that, the real Theo used Metamorphosis for the first time in this war.

He turned into a dragon and his size wouldn't really lose to the slime.

*Roar!*

The slime had expected this, but Theo truly looked like a real dragon.

Theo gathered his Magic Power in his throat before letting out a huge Magic Bullet like a dragon's breath.

The slime hurriedly used his Devouring Power to take in more Spiritual Energy, but surprisingly, the beam managed to go through the Devouring Power as if it had never existed.

"!!!" The slime was confused because this ability was similar to Loki. However, Theo actually used World Re-Creation between his breath and the slime's Devouring Power.

He pushed the Devouring Power back, so the breath could continue. In reality, they never touched each other.

Of course, the Devouring Power also absorbed a lot of Magic Power from Theo, but that was fine.

After all, the Magic Bullet was already in front of the slime. It was at that time Theo changed his power from the World Re-Creation to the Inverted World.

He changed his Magic Bullet to a Dragon's breath that could obliterate everything.

"!!!" The slime noticed the change of power as he instinctively changed his power from absorbing to dissolving.

Unfortunately, he realized it too late as the Magic Bullet hit the slime, destroying a part of its body. Though, the slime managed to save half of it by changing his shape like how he dodged the scythe earlier.

Theo smiled, thinking, 'As expected, this is better. If I use Inverted World from the start, the Magic Power consumption will drain me pretty quickly. But if I use something else first and use it at the last minute, I don't have to maintain the Inverted World, greatly reducing the consumption.'
