God of Tricksters

Fortunately, Theo could see the slime from this close. This would give him a lot of information needed to defeat the slime.

And it seemed the slime had yet to recognize him.

‘So, what is this slime planning? To gather all the humans here, is he planning to infiltrate the human base again with these humans?’ Theo thought while assessing them.

Of course, he maintained his poker face as if he was still controlled by that slime.

The first phase had begun.

The slime gradually called the monster in the front forward.

They approached them without fear like they were just trying to rejoin as a part of the slime.

The slime didn’t seem to be rejecting them.

As soon as they were close enough, the slime absorbed them and disintegrated them like the first human that received the power of Explosion.

“!!!” Theo was dumbstruck when he saw their bodies gradually integrate with the slime’s body. But what he never thought of was the fact the slime could easily reconstruct their body and appearance after that.

At the same time, Theo could see something different from these people.

‘Hmm? What is that? Their Magic Power…’𝞸𝓥𝓵xt.𝗇𝓔t

The Magic Power might not look like they were colored by the power of Explosion. However, Theo was a master in Magic Power. His knowledge even covered Primordial Energy.

When he saw this Magic Power, he could actually find something amusing.

The human monster might have a normal Magic Power, but Theo could see a red dot on a certain part of their body as if it was holding a certain power.

Theo wasn’t aware of what the slime was capable of, but he feared and was skeptical about this at the same time.

On the one hand, he knew that normal people wouldn’t be able to differentiate the red Magic Power since it was overwhelmed by the normal Magic Power. On the other hand, he was surprised because the slime could actually bestow such a power on a monster.

And the worst part was the fact that the slime created an army of humans for that sake.

‘This is not good. I’m not sure about what kind of power they have, but the fact that the slime could give them a part of Order to them is already beyond my understanding. No, I feel like this can be considered as breaking the Order.

‘If this is the case, the slime has to be hunted down to avoid destroying the World’s Orders.

‘Still, this might be the worst possible outcome. After all, the slime seems to be able to bestow this weird power… and judging how it could absorb and disintegrate the human, I’m afraid the slime steals this power from someone else.

‘In other words, the slime is swallowing a powerful monster and distributing its strength. I’m not sure to what extent, but this feels like an extreme threat.

‘I can’t imagine what will happen when these monsters attack the base. Although their strength can’t be compared to the original monster, it’s still better than your average human.

‘How many people will die this time? Seeing a situation like this, I’m afraid they’re going to spread these people, causing us to be overwhelmed by their numbers.

‘I have to know about their motives to share this power. And how many monsters have this slime shared… I know that this red-colored power is not the only one.

‘How many… Thousands… tens of thousands…’ Theo shuddered just thinking it alone. Even his group might not be able to handle these monsters.

‘I’m afraid that this battle will be bigger than anyone’s imagination, including me, who has seen all this.

‘The slime alone is already too much for us to handle, but we have to take care of the Griffith Family and the Fist Saint. Those three saints made the situation even worse.

‘There is also the spy problem. Until now, I still can’t find the spy. I don’t know if the slime is the one sending the spy or not, but it’s clear that this person is very secretive while staying in a high-ranking position.’

Theo was contemplating the current situation while measuring the slime’s strength as well as his armies.

Now that the government had lost their power, he could use his influence to move around the military and other organizations or companies. It should be easier to move them around since he held the biggest power.

‘Wait a minute. I think the vision from back then showed how multiple King Class Monsters and a World Class Monster were defeated.

‘In that case, there should be creatures that host their power in their bodies. Maybe the slime can concentrate all that power into one single person. If that’s the case…’

Theo fell silent for a moment before feeling chills down his spine.

‘In addition to the Griffith Family and the Fist Saint, the slime should have six or seven Saints including himself.

‘I’m planning to defeat my original self while my clone is going to deal with my grandfather. During that time, I’m planning to give Loki the opportunity to fight the slime since he is a Singularity. I don’t know if this works or not.

‘The Heavenly Sovereign and the Sword Saint can handle the Fist Saint and one more Saint from their side. That leaves me with Hel and the Mafia Queen. Hel might be able to defeat one Saint and Alexa can help us from behind.

‘Still, this only means our strength is equal. I have a trump card such as the Lightning Saint, but I can’t rely on him too much, considering his age.

‘There is also a huge gap in strength between the two armies. The human army will be weaker than them because of this power transfer.

‘In that case, I’m hoping that Loki could stop the slime by himself while asking Hel to finish her battle as soon as possible to tilt the balance in our favor.’

Theo was contemplating. However, he forgot he was still in a predicament. Since the slime was trying to grant this power to everyone who had a human appearance, Theo would be among them.
