God of Tricksters-Chapter 2075 Fighting Loki And The Slime
?
Theo and the Time God stood side by side. Theo was glaring at the slime while the Time God knew his opponent was Loki.
"Loki…" Theo gritted his teeth.
"What? You should have thought about this kind of situation with your brain, right? I am merely choosing the option where I can get the most benefit. I want to go to meet those bastards, you surely don't think this is just a pipe dream, right?"
Theo didn't answer him. But as someone who pursued the same thing, he obviously couldn't deny it.
There were many theories about the higher being. What the slime believed in was the theory that took the concept of 'scale' to a whole new level. The comparison of a microorganism to a human was like a human to that higher being. So, they had just to surpass this world and continue climbing that path.
The world itself had its consciousness, so the other planets should have their own consciousness and even something bigger than it like the solar system and even the galaxies. That was why the theory was still understandable in the face of this unique power.
However, Theo's path wasn't that different. As the ruler of Reality, he believed the higher being was just a normal being in a higher dimension. All he had to do was to find the coordinate of their dimension and use his power to connect this world to that reality.
He could cross that boundary and meet the higher being.
Meanwhile, Loki had been trying to make the higher being annoyed to prove their existence.
On the one hand, it might look like he never had the ambition to go beyond it. On the other hand, if Loki didn't have a grander ambition, he would soon become bored.
Theo bit his lips. He shouted, "I will win this battle."
Loki smirked. He knew what Theo meant by stating that sentence. At first glance, Theo looked like he was just showing his determination. But for Loki, who actually gave that rule to Theo, this word was a statement where Theo only had two choices. If he didn't fulfill this statement, he would lose his power.
Loki had groomed Theo as someone who could defeat him both in strength and mind. However, Theo was still right in front of that gate. He was still not at the God of Mischief level just yet.
Loki took a deep breath before summoning his clone. The Clone Skill originated from him after all, so once he summoned his clone, there would be two Singularity Rank Experts.
Even so, the Time God wasn't scared of Loki. He stood not far away from Loki while saying, "Your power is similar to Theo… I see. It seems that you are truly the God of Mischief, Loki, from the Norse Mythology. Fighting against a God is something that I haven't done before.
"Even if you are considered to be two, I am not planning to lose in this fight." The Time God began to release his power. "I have seen your power earlier. It seems that you are not that adept in battle. Even if you split your body, you won't still be my opponent. It's time for the god of old to meet his end."
Loki smirked. He also released his power, but this Magic Power contained all five thousand points of Magic Power. Once it erupted, the amount overwhelmed the Time God's Magic Power in an instant. In addition, the clone was releasing the same thing.
At first glance, it looked like there was no hope for the Time God.
But the Time God actually jumped forth, approaching Loki.
There was an hourglass appearing on top of his palm. When he crushed it, a translucent sphere suddenly appeared. It was a hundred feet in radius and everything inside the sphere looked frozen.
The slime saw this sphere and tried to stretch its tentacle to dissolve this time power, but Theo appeared in between.
He waved his sword, cutting the tentacles easily. Unfortunately, this was only an illusion. The slime dissolved the illusion easily.
The slime knew that Theo's strength was incomparable to Loki's. Even with all his strength, he wouldn't be able to create an illusion that couldn't be dissolved.
That was why the tentacles kept approaching the sphere without any fear.
Still, even though Theo should be angry because of Loki, his expression gradually became even more serious. It felt like he had forgotten Loki's matter for the time being and focused on the opponent in front of him.
Someone who wasn't disturbed by whatever happened earlier was strong. Even the slime wouldn't underestimate Theo. But it didn't mean the slime would retract its tentacles.
Seeing multiple tentacles coming, Theo let out a long breath, calming his heart down. His mind was concentrating on one thing.
There was something from the slime that piqued his interest.
He had done it before and even the Time God showed something that gave him this inspiration.
Theo pointed his palm at the tentacle. "Inverted World."
"!!!" The slime suddenly felt dread and instinctively stopped its tentacles. It felt like the slime was glaring at Theo, specifically his change.
All of a sudden, a huge whirlpool appeared on one tentacle. And the slime around the whirlpool was sucked into it and disappeared without a trace.
"!!!" The slime was shocked when he experienced it. After all, he completely lost connection with the slime that got sucked into it.
'What is that? What did he do?' The slime thought. Theo's power felt different than anything he had shown this far. 'It feels like my slime… no, a part of my body suddenly vanishes all of a sudden… As if they never existed before…'
Theo took a deep breath after using that power. His experiment worked. This might be what he needed in order to utilize his last law, Theo's Third Law, Inverted World.
With this power, he could invert everything. He could even invert someone's existence. When that happened, that person would be gone for good from this reality.
And that was what Theo used earlier. He inverted the slime's existence, creating the whirlpool that acted as his eraser.
But as expected, the toll it took to use the third law was humongous. Even after his level was close to one thousand, he still couldn't ignore that amount.
'Still, I finally succeeded…' Theo looked at the slime, who was confused by his power. 'Just like the slime using his Dissolve Power to erase the world's love, I have used my Reality Power to affect the world itself.
'Instead of removing the slime in front of me, I am removing the slime's existence that is recorded in the world. By doing that, a part of the tentacle doesn't have an existence in this world anymore. With that, it's obvious that the slime won't be able to feel them anymore. All I have to do is to create something to camouflage my power. This way, the slime won't be able to realize that I erased his tentacle before using my illusion to make it look disappear. Without the connection to that part, the slime will believe it and my reality power will gradually erase it like how I apply my Reality Power to my illusion.'
Theo's experiment finally worked. Before, he forcefully used the reality power to remove it, causing him to use the Mirage World and Reverse World first before applying the Inverted World. Doing it used too much power.
Meanwhile, with this method, he managed to cut the Magic Power consumption by two-thirds. The power that was impossible to use in the past finally reached the level where his current level was enough to utilize it.
Of course, he had to thank Reality Eyes for connecting him to this reality. Without it, he wouldn't be able to affect this world.
This might be the only thing that could defeat the slime for good. Unlike Loki and Feng Hao, who chipped away its body, Theo erased it after all.
The slime couldn't help but feel dread for the first time in his life. He knew what would happen if Theo continued to use this power.
Even so, he could see that the amount of Magic Power to use that ability was abysmal.
He finally opened his mouth again, saying, "Theodore Griffith. To think you would be able to kill me for good… I am impressed. You are far stronger than the one I've faced back then."
"You don't need to compliment me. It won't stop me from killing you." Theo snorted.
The slime rebuked him, "You can't kill me. You don't have enough energy to utilize that power long enough until I'm gone for good. No matter what you do today, you won't be able to defeat me today.
"That's why I'm giving you this chance. I know that you are someone who is loyal to your group. Come and submit it to me. I will let you and every person that is close to you be reborn and witness my glory."
