God of Tricksters Chapter 1860 Overwhelmed

Chapter 1860 Overwhelmed

*Boom!*
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
Numerous explosions shook the area as they were trying to get Theo. They knew their strength wouldn't be enough to completely destroy his body. So, their plan was to knock Theo down so that the slime could absorb him. This was the best outcome for the monster.
However, Theo wasn't that easy to catch. Although his fire and body were weakened due to the pollen released by the slime, it still couldn't destroy his body and power fully. The flame was still burning, albeit it was blasted by the explosion. Meanwhile, Theo continuously lost his power, though, at a rate he could ignore for the time being.
'I see. It seems that the explosions come in different ways, depending on the way they intend to use it. The slime has the power to dissolve everything. Even with the pollen alone, it can make my body suffer like this.
'I'm afraid Loki will have a hard time fighting this slime, considering his illusion might get weakened due to the pollen.
'Besides, the slime seems to be able to utilize the strength in three states: Solid, Liquid, and Gas.
'And those three states can contribute to how this slime dissolves its opponent. It will be extremely dangerous if we fight this slime alongside the army.'
Theo jumped back, avoiding the tentacles again. After that, he slashed diagonally, cutting the people on the left side.
Since the fire wasn't enough to destroy them, Theo improvised his ability.
Theo applied his illusion to completely erase their existence. This was only his normal illusion, not the Third Law, which he hadn't fully mastered yet.
Their bodies gradually disappeared, but he noticed another thing.
'Hmm?' The power was effective, but the slime seemed to have done something as well.
The slime was actually absorbing the body back through the slime body that had been hiding underground.
"Seriously?" Theo clicked his tongue as he hurriedly checked the other bodies, finding them being absorbed simultaneously.
If Theo killed them, their bodies would be absorbed before Theo could erase them. If Theo failed to kill them, they would be invading the base.
Theo didn't know that reconstructing their bodies took a toll on the slime's body. The reason why the slime didn't attack him aggressively was because it was still weakened due to the continuous power transfer.
He also didn't know that by killing as many people as possible, he could prolong the time they needed to attack the base.
While Theo was thinking about the solution, the slime began a different attack pattern.
The humanoid people began to turn around and run for their lives.
"!!!" Theo was confused. He thought they attacked him in order to help the slime, but it seemed they had a different plan.
The slime even released more tentacles and spikes to stop him as if buying time for them to escape.
And Theo actually misunderstood the slime's intention.
'Wait a minute. I haven't seen all their faces. It's possible they're using this to scatter and regroup somewhere. Seeing how the slime can call them without any instruction, it's clear that they can launch an attack without saying anything.
'I'm afraid they split up in order to infiltrate the base... This is not good.' Theo had a hard time finding a solution. On the one hand, he wanted to kill them. On the other hand, even if he succeeded, he wouldn't be able to destroy their bodies since the slime would absorb them. It felt like all his efforts would be futile.
Theo felt helpless. He didn't have time to think about a countermeasure.
World Re-Creation.
Theo started expanding the reality from the outside to the inside, shrinking the entire area. Those who were running away ended up running backward.
After that, Theo gathered his strength in his fist, trying to crush the ground.
*Bam!*
The slime body that had been hiding underneath the ground started to splash.
Just like how Theo misunderstood him, the slime also mistook Theo's intention. It thought that by destroying the ground, Theo planned to bury all the bodies in one place.
That was why the splattered slime immediately caught the bodies and absorbed them to prevent Theo from killing them.
Seeing how the slime absorbed the bodies, Theo took this opportunity to change his target from those bodies to the slime.
He pointed his palm at the slime and used his Twisted Reality, spinning the slime's body.
"!!!" The slime hurriedly formed a wall around its body to block the attack.
Theo immediately used his Telekinesis to grab all those bodies and lift them up into the air.
After that, he clapped his hand, forming a trigram underneath their bodies.
The trigram summoned a fire that devoured all those bodies, trying to burn away as many as possible.
The slime realized it had been baited into blocking Theo's attack and hurriedly sent those tentacles to wrap the bodies. The fire inside the tentacles got dissolved by the pollen, while the one on the outside couldn't harm the tentacles.
"Tsk." Theo clicked his tongue and checked around the area, trying to find a body he had missed earlier. Unfortunately, the slime seemed to have captured all of them and planned to integrate them back into its body.
Now that the slime had absorbed all their bodies, the slime could finally focus on crushing Theo. In that instant, the amount of Magic Power skyrocketed as if the slime released all the Magic Power it had just absorbed.
Theo hurriedly pointed his palm at the slime, using his World Re-Creation to expand the reality to push the slime away.
This was the time Theo saw the disparity of their strength.
The slime's body gradually shrunk as if its power was being depleted. However, Theo's Reality Eyes could see the movement underground, albeit barely.
He raised his sword to cut the ground, but his sword started to disappear.
"Kh." Theo gritted his teeth, realizing that his body had lost a lot of power to the point he had a hard time maintaining his blade.
And it was at this time, the slime came out of the ground like a geyser, swallowing him.
