Theo was very sorry he hadn't upgraded his illusions earlier... He did not expect that the difference in using <Devour> would be so great. When thinking about the amount of energy essence that was wasted, he couldn't help but sigh with regret.
'There's no point in crying over spilled milk... It hasn't been a total loss yet!' Theo said to himself, trying not to think about the loss he had just had.
While he was lost in his thoughts, something started to form in the air; this time it was a sphere made of metal. The image it gave off was like a magnet attracting iron, making everything come together in one place, creating a huge metallic sphere.
In the setup of the next stage that was being formed, Theo saw that this time the anomaly was accumulating even more energy, transforming itself into a gigantic mass of metallic energy. The first thing to be formed was the back of the animal. It was a fat butt with a tail and thick legs - only the legs looked like huge, thick pillars made of metal.
After a few seconds, the head was formed, with a horn just above the nose and a subsequent one slightly higher, which would be the top of the head. Its pair of ears were a little higher still, looking like two metal cones.

Something Theo hadn't thought to do before was to use his divine eyes. When using them, he could even see somewhat through this Metallic Divine Rhino. Whatever he could get, it was good to know some information about this Rhino.
When the Rhino finished forming, it looked in Theo's direction and gave a cold snort as he scraped his left front hoof on the ground. The Rhino then ran towards Theo, looking like a huge bullet train. If Theo was hit head-on, even he wouldn't be able to come out of it without any injuries.
"..." Theo, seeing this, used <Teleport> and appeared just above the Rhino. With his left hand closed in a fist, he threw a punch with all his strength into the Rhino's rib.
*Boooooooooooom!*
A massive sound of something very heavy hitting a metal plate echoed. When Theo turned away again, he saw that only a small dent was made in the huge body of the Rhino.
This only became a provocation for the Rhino who was furious, looking like a bull, jumping and jumping, making the whole place tremble! From the Rhino's back, metal spears were created, heading towards Theo, looking like a tracking missile wanting to hit Theo.
Theo dodged the metal spears while he went some at the Rhino with his fists. However, as soon as they were broken, new metal spears were created and kept trying to hit Theo. Seeing that his normal attacks did not affect the Rhino much, Theo attacked with his technique:
*<Elementary Emperor; Fire Style, Fire Release>!*
A phoenix of fire took shape as it left Theo's hand and went towards the Rhino. All of the metal spears that tried to stop the fire phoenix melted and turned into molten metal.
*BOOOM!*
An even louder crash than the previous one resounded throughout the place. Had it not been for Theo having isolated everything around him with illusions, the divine beings would have heard the noise.
The Rhino's large, thick legs began to wobble, forcing the Rhino's legs to turn to spaghetti. In addition, a huge hole of molten metal was visible in the Rhino's back.
Seeing this, Theo wasted no time and used *<Devour>!*
The moment Theo used <Devour>, a tail behind Theo's back went towards the Rhino, opening a giant mouth, swallowing the Rhino completely. It was indeed a frightening sight.

Theo's irises expanded a little; he was very surprised and satisfied with the result.
Taking a deep breath with a satisfied sigh, Theo sat on the floor and began to meditate. Now, he needed to stabilize his affinity with Divine Metal and also his lineage: Divine Golden Fox. He could feel that his lineage was close to having a new breakthrough, perhaps because it was close to 3 billion cells. Because of that, Theo predicted that something would happen when that number of cells was reached. Whatever it was, he expected something good to happen.
While the real one had already defeated the Rhino, Theo's illusion was still fighting in a close battle. Seeing this, some male divine beings still continued to ridicule him.
The entire illusory room was bursting with laughter - only the divine female beings were frowning with disgust. It was laughable to see the men ridicule Theo so much, and many of them had done much worse when they passed through the Divine Heavenly Tribulation (only at that moment, they were not even able to look at their own tails and recognize the color). And contrary to the desired result, it only made these women dislike the make divine beings and even some who had had some love interest in some of them lost interest completely.
Regardless of why they shouldn't have acted like that, envy had made them ugly and unattractive to the women, mainly because they spoke ill of someone who was not even there to defend himself. As they continued to speak, they had ended up despised without knowing…
Incidentally, Theo did not make his illusion suffer too much, but he also could not force himself to look that weak either, or else, it would not make sense for him to win in the end. Therefore, the insults of these divine male beings only showed them to be even more despicable.
When the men finally noticed the strange and disdainful eyes of the women, they felt ashamed and stopped talking, but it was too late... Now, it would be difficult for them to be seen in a good light.
In the illusion, Theo made himself win after punching the Rhino several times in the head with a fist surrounded by flames until the Rhino's head melted.
Unaware of what the divine beings spoke and thought of him, Theo continued to meditate. A few minutes later, he had already managed to stabilize his affinity and lineage. As he did this, he realized that it was easier for him to stabilize.
Now, he got up and saw that something was forming again.
"What will it be this time?" Theo murmured.
In front of him, a ball of energy started to form, and now the attribute was water. This made it look like a big bubble of water. As it was very distant, it even looked like a planet made of water.
- 1 hour later… -
From the water ball, a sea dragon made of water formed. Theo used his divine eyes to look at that dragon.

[Divine Water Dragon - 7th Layer of the Monarch Spiritual Realm.]
[A Mystical Beast, created by the Divine Heavenly Tribulation.]
[Common animal level intelligence.]
[Instinct - high]

*ROOOARR!*
The Water Dragon roared as it flew towards Theo.
This time, Theo decided to use his Supreme Thunder Divine Sword. The moment his sword appeared, the sky became stormy - explosive sounds of thunder resounding throughout. The sword became surrounded by menacing lightning.
Theo created a pair of wind wings on his back, and with his divine eyes activated, he flew towards the Water Dragon. With surprising speed, even faster than the Water Dragon, Theo got up in front of it. The moment the Water Dragon thought of attacking, Theo used <Teleport>, appearing in front of the Water Dragon's neck and cut down on it with his sword.
*Baruuum!*
The sound of the cut from the sword was very loud; it almost seemed to be the end of the world. Even Theo had to turn off his auditory sense. If he had not, he could have gone deaf.
When the Water Dragon's head was cut off, Theo didn't even give it a chance to regenerate and used *<Devour>!*. His tail expanded and swallowed the Water Dragon completely.
