"!!!" Theo gritted his teeth, never thinking the slime would use the Time God's tactic to stop his system from reaching the Singularity Rank.
Unless he could stop the frozen time, Theo wouldn't be able to remove his body anymore. And the Life Authority would continue to regenerate his body.
Still, Theo had the God of Mischief. He used the Illusion Authority to turn the frozen system into an illusion. Then he removed that illusion, allowing Theo to continue removing the slime's body.
The slime tried to attack the God of Mischief. However, the other Saints rushed to help Loki.
The Sword Saint waved his sword, releasing a huge sword strike. Once hit, even a mountain could be split in half.
Yet when it reached a barrier, it was completely stopped.
"Huh?" The Sword Saint widened his eyes in shock.
"Your ability to cut everything in this world is truly powerful. But my seal has been registered in this world, and I have frozen it. So, unless you cut the connection to the world, you won't be able to destroy my shield."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Sword Saint obviously had the power to do so. But he never did it, unlike Theo. So he didn't know whether he could do it so cleanly. In addition, if he had to focus on cutting that connection, he wouldn't be able to release the second strike to destroy the barrier.
Seeing that the Sword Saint had failed, the Magma Dragon approached from the side and shot out a few superheated balls.
The slime raised his tentacles and caught all these balls effortlessly.
"!!!" The Magma Dragon was as surprised as the Sword Saint when the slime stopped him.
"Your power is quite troublesome, but that's all. Now that I can see the Authority that is wrapping your power, I can use my power to focus on Dissolving and Devouring that Authority. This is far faster than devouring everything without being able to identify the components to make it."
The slime was teaching the Magma Dragon, telling him that no matter what he did, it would be impossible to harm him anymore.
The slime looked extremely confident when he reached the Singularity Rank.
The Goddess of Death was there to stop him with her Death Authority. Unfortunately for her, the slime could easily spread the Life Authority that surrounded the Death Authority that boosted her ability. When the Death Authority was overwhelmed, the nature of the attack changed as the Life Authority took over her abilities.
He once again rendered someone's ability useless. The Heavenly Sovereign was the last one to try it.
He activated his Elements Authority. But when he activated the elements, the Devouring Power and Dissolving Power showed their new might.
They devoured his power far faster than his imagination.
"You are like anyone else. Your power is not enough to go against me. I can simply decelerate the speed of your element summoning while using my Devouring Power for a specific element. This way, the sucking force is far faster. And the same can be applied to the Dissolving Power. Hahahahaha!" The slime laughed out loud as if he were mocking them.
He wanted to tell these people, who had been resisting him the whole time, that no matter what they did, the result wouldn't change.
"…" Theo and Loki's expressions darkened. Both of them never expected the slime to be this troublesome once he figured out his power. And the slime had yet to master his power.
There was a gap between figuring it out and mastering it. The former simply meant he realized its potential, while the latter meant he could fully utilize that ability.
But it seemed that the slime was learning his new abilities at a rapid rate. If this continued, he would be unstoppable.
"Don't think too highly of yourself, Slime," Loki stated with a cold expression.
Even if the slime managed to reach that level, they still had two Singularity Rank Experts, two clones, and four Saints to fight him. This would be the most powerful lineup the humans could have. If they still failed to stop the slime, it meant there was no more chance for humanity to survive.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTheo moved forward, using his Inverted World to turn his spear into something that could destroy the slime.
The slime used his Time Authority to stop the information about him from being removed from the system. However, a sharp sword strike hit it, causing the time to fluctuate
As a result, the spear managed to graze the slime, causing a portion of its body to be splattered on the ground before getting removed.
"!!!" The slime noticed whose power was there to disturb him. "Sword…"
The Sword Saint had just drawn his blade, targeting the connection he had with the world. This way, Theo could injure him again.
Though, this was the first time he did it. He didn't manage to completely cut the Time Ability itself. Still, as one would expect from the Sword Saint, who was known to be able to cut everything, he managed to hit the time even though it didn't even have a form.
The Sword Saint was glaring at the slime as if telling him, 'Don't underestimate me. Even if you've gotten stronger, I'm still going to cut you down.'
Loki also planted an illusion in the slime's consciousness. Like earlier, the slime used his Dissolving Power to remove the image. But surprisingly, the removal became extremely complex when he realized the illusion was filled with elements.
"Huh? This is…" The slime noticed elements being imbued into the illusion. As a result, the illusion of him being cut by Loki's illusion occurred, allowing Theo to remove the sliced part.
The slime noticed the reason why he failed to remove the illusion. It was none other than the Heavenly Sovereign.
He was also glaring at the slime like the Sword Saint. His expression was indirectly telling him, 'That's right. Don't underestimate us. Don't underestimate humans. We are going to stop you.'
The Magma Dragon and Hel saw their performances, knowing they couldn't lose to them
