God of Tricksters

Chapter 2079 Bad

?

When he heard that request, he understood the pope's intention. It seemed that he had understood that there was no guarantee in the future battle.

Theo had stated that even he didn't know whether he would survive or not.

The pope took this seriously. If there would come a time when his power would be needed in order to not lose, he would be the first one to sacrifice his life for the sake of the human race.

Without him, the church would be weakened, especially with the problem of his successor.

On the other hand, if the human race managed to defeat their enemies, Theo would surely gain immeasurable strength and influence. It should be enough to help Erica.

That was why he could clearly see it. The pope was planning to use his life to pave the way for his students.

Remembering that request, Theo couldn't help but smile. He didn't know why, but the curse that he uttered that day flashed in his mind.

It was the time when he almost died in the Hard Rock Turtle's hand.

"Humanity is idiotic, greedy, prideful, resentful, depraved… In the face of death, betrayal is what most people think. To save their own life, they could do whatever… Humanity is a fucking piece of shit.

"How wonderful it would be if I had the power to reset mankind once again? They won't be any worse than this, right?"

Theo stated it once again. When he said this, he couldn't help but look at the slime.

Currently, he was fighting for the sake of humanity that he hated and cursed so much. Meanwhile, the one standing in front of him was the 'power' that could reset mankind. If he took the slime's offer, his wish could become a reality easily. And if the world was controlled by him and the slime, it would surely remove a lot of problems from the world.

The words back then somehow came back to bite him.

But it was because of those words that he couldn't help but smile.

"Because I know humanity is so bad that I can say this for sure… Humans will always be humans.

"Humans are the darkness of this world. They have destroyed, harmed, and caused changes. However, even in that darkness, there will come a light… a light that is strong enough to illuminate the darkness.

"If I choose to use everything just to accomplish my goal, how could I be any different from them? I don't like strong people to suppress me for no reason, that's why I have tried my best not to suppress others for no reason.

"If I want to change the world, I am going to get that power myself. Besides, do you think there is only one way to reset mankind?" Theo smirked while pointing at the slime. "I am going to achieve all that without anyone's help. No one will be able to control me in the future. That's why in order to fulfill my dream, I am going to defeat you here."

"It seems that trying to persuade you is my wishful thinking. In that case…" The slime that erupted from the ground earlier suddenly gathered in one place, forming the second body of the slime. It was clear that the main slime had gotten thinner due to using its body to form the second body, but he could clearly see that this was an ability like his Clone Skill. And with two bodies, the slime suddenly summoned almost twice the tentacles he had summoned in the beginning. All those tentacles instantly surrounded Theo while dissolving anything around it. "…It's time for you to die, Theodore Griffith."

Theo and his clone looked around. As expected of the slime, it was indeed possible to split its main body into two. However, Theo knew that the two bodies were connected. If not, how could he supply the slime and Magic Power to the second body? In other words, this second slime was there for the sake of improving his overall offensive ability.

Theo looked down to the ground. When the tentacles started to move, Theo retracted his Magic Power, causing his body to fall to the ground.

Meanwhile, his clone raised his hand and used the Inverted World once again. Unlike the slime, which had to use its main body as the reserve of its power, Clone Theo could easily use the ability that would usually take a toll on his main body without any setbacks.

Even if the clone was to die, Theo could easily summon it once again.

That was why the clone used the Inverted World and tried to erase as much slime as possible.

On the other hand, Theo kept falling and was about to fall on top of the slime's second body.

The slime was already prepared to receive him, but surprisingly, instead of the Inverted World, Theo took out his sword, the sword that had been reinforced by the previous God of Reality's power.

"!!!" The slime didn't know Theo's target, but it was clear that he had a plan in his mind. The slime erupted once again to dissolve Theo.

But Theo used his Blink to teleport to the side, avoiding the slime. After that, he waved his sword downwards.

The Magic Power that had been concentrated on the blade suddenly flew forth, turning into a crescent-shaped sword strike.

The sword strike seemed to be missing the slime, but it was fine since his target wasn't the slime.

*Bam!*

The sword strike hit the ground and formed a huge and deep hole in the ground. But from it, Theo could see the red slime flowing inside.

This was the connection that the slime used to maintain the second body. If he could erase the slime with his Inverted World, he would be able to cut the connection to the second slime, which would result in the loss of a huge amount of slime.

Theo pointed his palm at the hole and released his ability.

Inverted World.

Erase.
