The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 1317: When Gods Bend (2)

Swearing to destroy a pantheon of the Gods is a massive decision.

It was not a decision to take lightly.

But ever since he made a pact with Nivellen, he had already accepted the consequence, that would come alongside it. From the very start, he already sensed Nivellen's hatred toward the other Lunirich Gods.

As she was banished, it was quite obvious she would bore resentment to her peers.

Rex was also motivated by the System.

Upon reaching level sixty, he was given the sudden quest.

A quest that leads to him going through the first ascension trial to obtain his first King Mark.

He still remembered the words that the System used on the sudden quest description, it said 'Kaiser of the Scarlet Garland will send three obstacles, that needed to be overcome, in order to succeed in the trial', the way it was phrased struck a realization.

Rex had a feeling that the System somehow forced Kaiser to give him the trial.

Knowing that the System is stronger than the Gods, this was possible.

His suspicion was also confirmed when Yulthar brought him to the Yule Moon realm.

Meeting with Kaiser in the flesh there, Rex could sense a connection.

Not the regular connection but a connection where Kaiser's power was siphoned to him.

It became clearer that Kaiser was forced to give Rex his power.

It might also be the reason why Kaiser glared at him with bloodshot eyes.

No doubt about it, the System is leading me to become a God. Nobody was able to reach the realm of godhood, I doubt the first human emperor reached that. Rex gazed skywards, taking his time to savor the wind brushing against his body at this height. I've accepted the System, because to kill a monster I need to become a monster.

Now... I was given a choice again.

The System is giving me a choice again.

To protect the ones I love, am I willing to become a God?

Becoming a God is still a long path but he needed to make a decision from now.

Upon muttering that, Rex looked down.

His keen eyes were capable of piercing the height and saw the others down there.

Evelyn, Adhara, and even Calidora.

All three of them were standing in the open but all of their eyes were directed to him.

His hands trembled slightly at his sides, their faces appeared like fragile dreams.

At this moment, all of them were safe and sound but he knew that this safety was present as he was still alive. It was a delicate safety—an eggshell and he knew how bad the world could be when this eggshell cracked.

To become a God meant something beyond his comprehension.

But once again, the painful memories resurfaced in his mind.

All of his senses remembered the sensation when his parents died, they were still clear.

Mrs. Greene's soft voice and his biological parents' screams, all rang in his ears.

Not to mention the helplessness and tightness in his chest when he received the news.

It was only then did his eyes blazed with determination.

Rex took a deep breath as he came to a conclusion, what he was about to do was a must, he had no choice, or else the others would be in danger, "Fuck it, I can't see any other way. I will go do the only thing I'm capable of doing"

As soon as he firmed his mind, he stretched his arm to the side.

Below, Adhara saw the formation on the balcony surge with a vast amount of energy.

Before long, the formation burst, shooting its ray of energy to the sky.

Rex, Liliya, the Great Luna remain, and also the formation was infused with this energy ray.

Swoosh!

Feeling an unbelievable amount of moonlight coursing through his body, Rex directed it all to the formation—and infused it with the energy it needed to be activated fully. Not stopping at that, Rex calls forth the castle's prowess.

One of the castle's abilities was becoming a magnet to every energy in the surroundings.

It included everything, even dark nature energy from the Dark Elves.

"Rrraarrggh!!"

Rex slowly lifted his arms as the castle's energy climbed, turning into four sky-high walls.

Such an extensive power being called forth shook the entire ground, but surprisingly enough, Dargena City itself was not shaking. Only the surrounding area was trembling, as if there was a high magitutde earthquake going on.

All of the people could see the castle summoning these walls.

It was a sight to behold and can't help but make them wonder what the Emperor was doing.

But then again, they are certain that the Emperor is doing this for the people.

None of them questioned their Emperor.

On the other hand, Liliya saw what was happening and gasped.

"I can feel it..." She muttered, looking at the energy rushing against her body from below. "It is moonlight energy. Just how much moonlight energy, did that formation gathered—for me who is not a Werewolf could feel it this clearly"

Raising her gaze, she saw that Rex was already in his Werewolf form.

His regal black furs a stark contrast to the sky's backdrop.

System! Is it enough?!

<Analyzing...>

Come on! I can't hold it for long! I need to channel the damn energy!

<Notice: Please be patient>

Rex grits his teeth—the moonlight energy from the formation below, needed to be pooled in him, before the Crescent Lunirich Formation received it. He couldn't let the formation take it directly because the stream needed to be controlled or the formation would break.

It needed a delicate stream until the entire thing was activated.

Or at least, until it was activated enough to absorb the entire energy by itself.

He tried his hardest to control the enormous amount of energy—ten or even more times the amount, Rex was used to controlling. Despite his high-level of control, it was still difficult for him to control this amount of energy.

So difficult that blood began to seep out of his nose from the overexertion.

<Formation activation complete!>

Upon seeing this, Rex felt a surge of relief as he was about to let go of the enormous energy.

But he was stopped.

<Notice: Please hold the moonlight energy>

What now? Isn't it supposed to be done?! I'm losing my focus here!

<Please hold, the barrier to lessen the rush of the world's energy is still not fully formed!>

Reading this, Rex glanced up strugglingly and saw the walls were still forming the top.

He spat a mouthful of blood before he turned towards Liliya.

"Prepare yourself. Don't fight it or you'll get hurt, let it go, alright?!"

"Do it now! I'm ready whenever you are!"

Rex nodded and when the System gave him the signal, he instantly let go of the energy.

Swoosh!

In an instant, the mark at the center of the crescent-shaped formation began glowing with a powerful light—and spread to the top edge first to the Great Luna's remains. As soon as the light touched the remains, the hue of yellow spread.

As the yellow hue spread from the formation's peak, it shot downward with a blinding speed.

Liliya saw this but was instantly engulfed.

Her body lifted from the force platform, limbs slack as if the power itself puppeteered her.

Unable to resist the force the yellow light burned from within her, bursting through her eyes, mouth, and ears. She hovered, suspended—in a vicious glow, her frame trembling under the force.

Like a raging storm crashing against her in relentless waves.

Rex watched this from the side, his breaths were heavy.

He already confirmed with the System that Liliya would be fine so this should be fine.

As time clicked away, the process seemed endless.

Liliya's scream was drowned in the roar of power, the sound devoured by the energy.

Finally, when the formation below could give no more, the moonlight energy faded.

Crash!

Following that, the crescent-shaped formation shattered, leaving three spherical points, and sending shards of yellow light streaking toward the heavens. From its core, a thin beam was blooming and shot upward, forming a delicate, flower-like mark.

As that happened, silence enveloped the entire place.

Rex looked upwards, "I call you forth, Meloriana, the Lunirich Goddess of the Honey Moon..."

SWOOSH!

Soon, the heavens answered in a resplendent cascade, a golden light that streaked down.

It pierced through the atmosphere with the force of a meteor.

Along the way—tendrils of bluish energy tried to suppress it—but the pulling force from the blooming flower mark was too strong. The golden energy, otherworldly in its radiance, went through the formation lie liquid fire, crawling toward Liliya.

It seeped into her body, infusing her with a divine brilliance.

But as it did, Rex's eyes snapped to the side.

Bang!

He saw the world's energy taking the form of tendrils of blue, colliding with the barrier from the castle—like tidal waves slamming against a cliff. Cracks began to spiderweb across the translucent shield instantly.

It was an unstoppable force that was trying to reach the golden mass.

A mass that infiltrated the realm of mortals.

Only needing mere moments, the golden energy overtook Liliya completely.

Her trembling ceased, her body stilling as if it had become a vessel for something far greater.

Slowly, she opened her eyes.

But it wasn't Liliya who gazed back at Rex.

Just the immense presence, and the weight of her stare seemingly able to cut him were telltale signs that it was not Liliya but Meloriana instead. Rex had been saving the Great Luna's remains for this moment.

"You impudent mortal! How dare you summon me without permission!" Meloriana shouted.

Her aura flared powerfully, aiming to crush Rex entirely.

Rex could feel his body gripped tightly and was being crushed hard by the aura.

However, this act incites nothing more than a smirk from him.

"Are you sure this is what you wanted to do? I suggest to take a look around," Rex said.

Having to face a God already, meeting Meloriana didn't make him nervous.

Scanning the place, Meloriana frowned.

'It's the world's energy... he was able to block the world's energy—to summon me here. If I tried to hurt him, the celestial energy from me, would add more pressure to the barrier. If it cracked, the world energy would reach me...'

Realizing her position, Meloriana's expression darkened.

She knew that if the world's energy reached her after what Yulthar did, the Lunirich Gods would be in trouble. Looking back at Rex, she narrowed her gaze, 'He might not know the implication of doing this but we have much more to lose than him'

As she thought of that, she turned to the other side.

Meloriana saw the Great Luna's remains there, she realized what Rex had done.

Using a vessel for her to possess and the Great Luna's remains that have a direct connection to her, Rex was able to summon her forcefully. The willing vessel allowed a smooth transition from the God realm to the mortal realm while the Great Luna's remains directed the call upon her.

Of course, Rex needed a massive amount of energy to do this.

An amount that he shouldn't have access to, equivalent to the peak of the tenth-rank realm.

But he somehow was able to gather that much.

Seeing the realization dawning on Melaronia's expression, Rex couldn't help but grin.

He sat down on the platform and leaned his face over his hand arrogantly.

"Do you understand the situation you're in right now?"

"Speak your desire and be quick about it. Your presence reeks of blasphemy, and I loathe every moment of it."

"Oh, surrendering already?

Rex crossed a playful smile on his lips, seeing the helpless Goddess.

She couldn't free herself from Liliya because of the formation.

And if she was still here—when the world's energy reached her, she would be in trouble.

Only Rex has the power to free her, he did catch her off guard by summoning her here.

Taking an uncomfortably long pause, Rex eventually answered.

"I want you to give me your blessing. Nothing much, bless me with a King Mark is good"

"Never! Your insatiable ambition disgusts me, and I refuse to be part of your delusions!"

"Still stubborn, eh...? We can sit here all day, or at least, until the barrier breaks"

Upon hearing this, Melaronia grinds her teeth.

It was clearly a threat.

She now realized she shouldn't have shown Rex that she desired the Great Luna's remains.

Now he was using that against her.

But then again, she never expected Rex to know the formation to call forth Lunirich Gods.

It was only known by the Origin and a few trusted Werewolves.

Meloriana didn't know how the sophisticated formation fell to Rex's hand but it did.

Soon, Rex pulled her attention again with his condescending tone.

"So, Goddess of the Honey Moon... ready to give me my request?"
