God of Tricksters

"!!!" The slime felt something different from this attack. The Goddess of Death actually separated her power into thousands of skeletons.

They all started approaching the tentacles and hugging them. Because they were coated with death energy, the tentacle started to wither.

The slime could use his Life Force to overwhelm the Death Force like earlier. But as expected of the Goddess of Death, she realized that the slime still couldn't control his power completely.

Even if he used the Life Power, he couldn't split them into thousands to overwhelm her skeletons. She could only use it to strengthen her tentacles.

Unfortunately for him, the sheer number of skeletons was completely overwhelming. In the end, the tentacles began to fall down one by one.

When they reached the ground, the rest of the skeletons touched it and spread their Death Force, withering the tentacles.

"Kh." The slime never expected that Hel would use this gap to her advantage. However, the attack didn't stop there.

Hel wasn't the only one who attacked him after all. The Heavenly Sovereign clapped his hands, fully activating the trigrams in the sky.

"Fire, Earth, Lake, Heaven, Water, Mountain, Thunder, and Wind. Converge." All elements in his trigram appeared. However, only the Fire was represented by something else. It was Heat.

The slime could feel an extraordinary power in this trigram. It was something different than any trigrams he had used this whole time.

"Your existence is a mistake, slime." The Heavenly Sovereign looked at the slime with a serious expression. His eyes were glowing as the Heavenly Sovereign was looking at the Primordial Energy to fuse all eight elements. "That's why I have to correct the mistake that the world has made… by killing you."

"Killing me? You talk too much!" The slime refuted him. However, he couldn't attack the Heavenly Sovereign because his tentacles had been destroyed by Hel.

Meanwhile, the trigram in the sky started emitting a scary amount of Magic Power.

Blood started to flow out of the Heavenly Sovereign's eyes, but he paid no mind to it.

"I shall correct everything!" The Heavenly Sovereign declared it out loud.

Suddenly, a bell rang and shook the entire battlefield as though it were trying to tell the people that the sovereign had given the decree.

The slime's body was startled, trying to figure out the power that the Heavenly Sovereign was planning to use. He had released his Devour and Dissolve Authority. There was even a barrier on top of him. He was confident that he could stop the Heavenly Sovereign with these three powers.

Despite seeing such a strong defensive power, the Heavenly Sovereign smiled.

"I am the Heavenly Sovereign." The Heavenly Sovereign shouted while raising his hand. "Bow down and receive your decree!"

Suddenly, a gray-colored pillar emerged from the trigram and connected both the trigrams and the slime.

The slime tried to dissolve that power, but it contained all the elements, making it hard to dissolve. At the same time, the barrier that was supposed to stop the pillar ended up being penetrated. The Devour Power wanted to suck everything that made this pillar, but the energy that the Heavenly Sovereign used to power up this technique was beyond his imagination. The slime couldn't suck everything up before the attack was launched.

"Heaven's Decree!" The Heavenly Sovereign waved his hand down as though he were transmitting the decree. "Heavenly Tribulation."

The pillar suddenly expanded and covered the entire slime. The pillar matched the trigram's size.

All eight elements were transmitted and reached the slime. The Heat instantly melted the barrier; the Earth and Mountain hit the slime, causing a ripple on its body. The Lake and Water started flooding inside the slime, trying to dilute the slime content.

Meanwhile, the Heaven was excluding a vast amount of Magic Power so it was only its Magic Power that got devoured by the Devour Authority.

The Wind caused a big vibration on the slime's body, splattering the slime. And the Thunder formed a bolt of lightning that dispersed all over the slime's body and evaporated it.

"Kh." The Heavenly Sovereign suddenly fell to his knees. His vision started to become blurry. "I seem to have used too much of my power…"

He tried to check on Hel, who worked together with him. But because of his blurry vision, he couldn't fully see Hel's current condition.

All he could see was that Hel had dropped to her knees. Her hands were placed on the ground, supporting her body.

If he didn't have a problem with his vision, he would be able to see her coughing up blood.

Half of her body began to melt, exposing her rotten flesh. This might be her true appearance, but she had been hiding it by using the Death Armor.

But this time, she had used all her Magic Power to the point where she didn't have anything left to even maintain her Death Armor.

If she was hit by the slime in this state, there was no doubt she would die.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Sovereign's condition was comparable to hers. To activate his most powerful ability, he had to use the eyes that could see the Primordial Energy to harmonize the elements.

But he exerted that power too much, causing his eyes to lose their vision. He didn't even know if he could recover his vision after this.

However, this was a necessary sacrifice if they wanted to win. The Fist Saint, the Lightning Saint, the Sword Saint, and even Hel had sacrificed so much in order to win. There was no way he, the Heavenly Sovereign, would choose to play it safe just because he was scared to die.

The only thing he could think of was that if they failed to stop the slime here, the entire world would be destroyed. So it was better to sacrifice his eyes for the greater good.

Still, even though his vision was blurry, he could see the slime standing tall. In fact, the upper part of the slime that the Sword Saint cut hadn't been vanquished. "Kh. Is it still not enough?"
