God of Tricksters

Seeing he was surrounded by Theo and Feng Hao from two sides and the Mafia Queen maintained a good amount of distance from him, it was clear that he wouldn't be able to turn around the situation easily even with Theo and Hel resting on the side.

Still, the slime had an overwhelming advantage against all of them.

The slime sent forth thirty tentacles, each was as big as a skyscraper. Each tentacle contained a single Authority.

"…" Theo frowned, assessing the slime's power. 'The golden Magic Power should be the Seal Authority, the black one is the Devour Authority, the rainbow one should be the Color Authority, and the murky white Magic Power is related to the Dissolve Authority.

'It's a bit hard to see because the slime is transparent. It uses the light that the body reflects from the sunlight to camouflage the color.

'It's a bit annoying, but this should work.' Theo raised his right hand, using his illusion not on the slime but on the Heavenly Sovereign.

Since the real Theo had leisure time on the rear, he could easily recognize each color. With the shared senses, the illusion Theo could easily see all the colors.

So, all he needed to do was to use the illusion to make the Heavenly Sovereign see the color better.

The Heavenly Sovereign smiled, thanking him inwardly. Because he was in the middle of the fight, the Heavenly Sovereign didn't say anything and started charging at the slime.

He also activated a small trigram behind him, so the slime couldn't see it.

But to his surprise, the trigram suddenly malfunctioned and the trigrams were suddenly extended toward the Heavenly Sovereign's back, trying to pierce through his stomach.

"Gah!" The Heavenly Sovereign widened his eyes in shock while spitting a mouthful of blood. His organs shook for a split second and his body got weakened, causing him to fall to the ground.

Theo used his Telekinesis to stop him from falling, but he didn't know what happened to the Heavenly Sovereign.

The Magma Dragon had fought against the Red Authority, so the tricks should work. As long as the slime couldn't see it and recognize the color, he wouldn't be able to use it.

Yet, the slime could do it and strike his body. This was something he couldn't understand.

"Huh?" Theo's body trembled, thinking there was something about the slime he didn't know yet.

His clone hurriedly came to the Heavenly Sovereign, helping him fend off the tentacles that took advantage of his condition to absorb him.

Meanwhile, the real Theo had to fight as well since the slime didn't want Theo to think about the slime's power.

However, Theo had given a secret message to Hel.

It didn't take too long for Hel to understand what had happened to the Heavenly Sovereign earlier.

"Theo. The slime can use other bodies to see." Hel shouted.

"!!!" Clone Theo was shocked while checking the Heavenly Sovereign's condition. He seemed to be recovering since he could say, 'I'm alright,' but he still brought him to the rear to regain some composure.

Meanwhile, the real Theo furrowed his eyebrows. They were on a battlefield. There were a lot of monsters and a few World Class Monsters near them. If he truly used their eyes to see them, the situation would become far more complicated.

'This is…' Theo narrowed his eyes and said, "Sir Feng Hao. There's no need to use a color anymore. Even your trigrams are a no go for the time being. Just focus on activating the element without any color."

"Yeah." The Heavenly Sovereign nodded and stood back up. Even though it was still hurt, there should be no problem in joining the fight.

"That Color Authority is too restricting…" Feng Hao let out a long sigh.

"For now, I'll be the main fighter. Please back me up." Clone Theo stated while approaching the slime.

Theo formed a blade behind his body as if he didn't learn from the Heavenly Sovereign.

The slime activated his power to control the color of that blade, but all of a sudden, a smile appeared on Theo's face.

'Hmm? A smile? That's right. He should have known about my power, yet, he is using the same technique. With his intelligence… don't tell me, he is baiting me to use that power?'

The slime had just realized Theo's intention and stopped using that power at the last moment.

However, that was a mistake.

Theo suddenly swung that blade forward, cutting a few tentacles before using the Inverted World to remove them. He also retracted the sword so that the slime couldn't use it.

'!!!' The slime hurriedly sent forth a few tentacles to push Theo away while thinking, 'What? He is tricking me into thinking that?'

The slime still seemed to underestimate the man who was known as a trickster. Even a single smile from him could make other people overthink, let alone his action.

After all the build-up in his life, the world had known that Theo was an extremely intelligent and cunning person. So, his little action should have a hidden meaning. 𝐟𝓇ℯe𝒘𝘦𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝙡. 𝑐𝗼𝓂

To think Theo would use that perception to trick him, it was unbelievable. Even if Theo used the same trick again, he might still fall for it, thinking Theo must want to make him think he wouldn't fall for the same trick.

'I see… So, this is the trickster. It seems that if I want to defeat him, I have to use all my power.'

A few tentacles formed a tunnel in the middle of them and shot out a lot of bubbles. There were numerous bubbles in different colors.

Theo furrowed his eyebrows when seeing these bubbles since they were flying slightly away from him.

But surprisingly, a few bubbles seemed to have the same color. They all became connected due to the Color Authority and formed a string. It was multiplied by at least a hundred. And some of the bubbles didn't have any strings attached, making people think there might be a matching color, but the slime was waiting for the right timing before connecting them.

The strings were so dense that they looked like they would shred him into pieces once they passed him. But he couldn't avoid it either since behind him was Hel.
