The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 1286: Confronting the Yule Moonʼs God

Despite the situation back in Dargena City, Rex was dealing with a larger problem right now.

He approached the downtrodden prince with the intention of ending it all.

Rex had already gained three things from this endeavor and he was satisfied with the result.

Albeit still having things to do here, there was no need to keep Prince Leif around.

But as soon as he took a step forward, his senses forced him to stop.

In a squint, he focused on Prince Leif who was facing down to the ground, and realized that his tantrum ended suddenly. He could see the moonlight through his keen eyes—and kingly energy Prince Leif emanated dispersed.

Following that was an ineffable sensation that assaulted Rexʼs senses.

Something about Prince Leif changed.

Even the bleak energy that he emanated, signing that he was scared, vanished completely.

Nobody could erase their fear that fast, especially when the threat was still around.

It was odd, almost as if Prince Leif became a different person.

And as it turns out, he was a different person.

Rexʼs eyes widened when he made eye contact with Prince Leif, whose eyes had now turned into orbs of moonlight, and unconsciously, his body moved on its own and forced him to take a step back.

A move that made him raise an eyebrow at himself, his body had never done this before.

But his senses noticed danger, and they were responding strongly to it.

Upon reading the notifications, Rex frowned as his prediction came true.

Just then, Prince Leif, or rather—the entity taking control of Prince Leifʼs body squinted.

”Humble yourself beneath a God, mortal...” He uttered, his voice was astral and commanding.

Not only was his voice filled with an overwhelming sense of authority and pride—but it also contained immense power and through words alone, Rex was forced to revert to his human form and drop to his knees.

He wasnʼt able to resist this force at all.

Brak!

Seeing such a sight from a distance, the Silverstar Pack couldnʼt help but frown.

It was unnatural and wrong to see Rex fall to his knees like that.

However, they couldnʼt shake the weird sense of reverence that they were feeling right now.

A feeling that came from Prince Leif, it was as if the very essence of the world shifted out of nowhere, compelling them to acknowledge the divine presence, demanding submission that none could deny.

Similar to them, the legion of Werewolves also felt the same exact sensation.

Catching a glimpse of the King Mark on Prince Leifʼs forehead, devoid of energy like a hollow symbol but brilliantly glowing nonetheless, the Werewolves came into a united realization, as one by one they started to get on their knees.

A minute ago, a vicious fight was ongoing but now, that chaos suddenly stopped.

Holding the defeated Riona by the nape, Adhara raised an eyebrow.

She wanted to head over to Rex to see what was going on but that was out of the window as a massive invisible force, struck down from above, and planted her into the earth, forcing her to prostate.

Gritting her teeth, she tried to fight back but was unable to move a muscle.

Adhara also saw the same thing happen to Kyran.

Realizing that something was not right, she glanced over to Rex with only her eyes.

Her eyes glistened and when she discerned the color of Rexʼs emotional aura, she stopped.

It was better to observe silently from the side as the events unfolded.

Meanwhile, Rex knelt on the ground, resisting the force that was pushing him to prostrate on the ground. Knowing who the entity, that possessed Prince Leif was, he asked playfully, ”Let me guess... you must be a Lunirich God, Yule Moonʼs?”

Despite being spot-on, Prince Leif remained silent and stood up straight.

”A deity came down to confront me for the second time, Iʼm honored,” Rex added, smirking.

Sparing no response once again, Prince Leif raised his hand, as an unseen force gripped Rex and forced him to levitate with his limbs spread—to the side. Regardless of what Rex tried to do, he couldnʼt break free from this grip.

He was minuscule compared to the power of a God.

”Is this all you can do? I guess the consequences of attacking me the first time still took a toll on you and the other Lunirich Gods,” Rex mocked, knowing that the Lunirich Gods, did not go unpunished for their attack on him. ”How was it? Being punished because of a mere mortal?”

”I reckoned that it was not fu-” He stopped mid-sentence when the force tightened.

Rex could feel that he lost control over his moonlight energy.

Additionally, his moonlight energy pressed him from the inside, threatening to implode him.

Compared to the pain he experienced, the pain now was really near the top.

But even then, Rex gave no satisfaction, enduring the pain in silence.

Upon seeing this, Prince Leif tilted his head a little with grace, ”You are expecting me?”

”What do you think?” Rex cackled—veins across his body, were bulging fiercely from the pain but he persevered. ”The Countess... she told me everything—she said the pussies that called themselves Lunirich Gods would come after me until Iʼm dead. She read you like a book!”

Immediately after he said that Rex sharply gazed skywards.

He gritted his teeth hard and began tearing up as the pain was amplified twofold suddenly.

”You are cursed with arrogance,” Prince Leif uttered, his voice changed dramatically into one that is astral, with a tinge of throaty. ”You freed the Banished One—you steal the power that does not belong to you, and you boast your feeble arrogance in front of a God... there is only so much to tolerate, even for a God”

Despite the immediate threat within Prince Leifʼs voice, Rex laughed in his face.

Not even the threat from a God faltered his willpower.

”Is that a threat—somewhere in there?” He asked, smiling deviously. ”What are you going to do about it? Kill me? You failed the first time—what makes you think you would succeed the second time? Besides, if you really want to kill me now, Iʼd be dead already, unless...”

”you couldnʼt kill me directly, is that it?” Rex continued.

Even though the System advised him to mind his manner, this was the best he could do.

Glancing to the side, Rex glanced briefly at the others.

”Ahh... I guess you could kill those I love, thereʼs no stopping that if you decided to do that,” Rex nodded repeatedly, he knew that he was under—Prince Leifʼs mercy—and could barely move much less protect the others.

Regardless of that fact, he has no fear of that happening, ”But youʼre not going to do that”

As he said that, Rexʼs fierce grin returned.

It was true that the others were in extreme danger—as if Prince Leif wanted to, he would be able to kill the others, with a simple flick of his hand. Killing Rex would be a problem, he was at the very peak of strength in this world.

Killing the others, on the other hand, was far easier and bore less punishment.

Prince Leif could do that with little to no consequences for using his godly power on mortals.

But that could never happen.

To use such an underhanded tactic for a God would be to acknowledge Rex—as his equal, a mere mortal—by resorting to anything other than confronting Rex directly. Rex had only one divine ally, but he understood all too well that a Godʼs pride would never permit such an act.

Just as Rex said that, he inspected Prince Leifʼs expression, searching for any clues.

He wanted to discern what was going on inside a Godʼs mind at this moment.

I need to force him to do more. Since Dorlus attacked some time ago, he mustʼve come down for quite some time, and there were no complications. My tactic might be obvious, but I know the Lunirich Gods are frustrated, including him.

Upon thinking that, Rex frowned when he saw Prince Leif smile lightly.

”Cunning, as expected,” He suddenly nodded.

Rexʼs eyes widened when he heard this, slightly pale, ”Y- You could read my mind?”

”Iʼm a God, I could do many things far beyond your puny mind,” Prince Leif replied.

Caught off guard by the intrusion into his mind, Rex gritted his teeth, struggling to resist. He had assumed Prince Leifʼs silence was a sign of inner turmoil, provoked by his taunts. But no—it was because Prince Leif had been reading his thoughts all along!

Having his mind exposed was a great weakness.

Naturally, Rex knew that this might be the end of where everything was playing as expected.

Just as his struggle intensified, Prince Leif approached—and leaned his face closer, his eyes gleaming with divinity, ”You might know that Gods could not do as they pleased, because of the natural order of the world but that doesnʼt mean I couldnʼt kill you.

Mortals have absolute control over the mortal realm, protected by the law of the word, but that doesnʼt mean I only need to bring you out of this realm?”

Realizing what was going to happen, Rexʼs eyes instantly glistened.

He tried activating the Latch of Chains skill, locking the dimension around him.

But that had no effect as the skill was instantly shattered.

Is it because Iʼm facing a God? His presence alone could cancel my skill!

Grabbing Rex by the head forcefully—for once, Prince Leif possessed by the Lunirch God of the Yule Moon, smiled. It was not a pleasant smile, a horrifying one—the edges of his mouth were stretching far, ”Scoundrel mortal, let us see you be arrogant in my realm...”

Swoosh!!

Out of nowhere, an invisible energy surged through Prince Leifʼs arm.

It slipped past Rexʼs defenses easily and infiltrated his mind.

Rex, who had always prided himself on his invincibility and quick thinking, was powerless.

Almost instantly his eyes widened in shock, as they began to glow with the radiant light—of the Yule Moon. Before Rex could react, the foreign energy, overwhelmed him, rendering him helpless.

His mind was overrun, and in the next instant, he felt a horrifying sensation.

Rexʼs soul was forcibly pulled from his body, leaving it an empty, lifeless shell.

In a blink, he found himself in a soul form, floating in an eerie void behind his fleshy body.

Soon, the battlefield disappeared, and was replaced by an all-encompassing darkness. Time lost its meaning here, and when he finally regained consciousness, he pushed himself up, he was assaulted by pain in the head.

”Where am I...?” He whispered inwardly.

The Bloodstone Crater was gone, he was in another realm entirely.

He now stood in the midst of a barren desert, an endless expanse of desolation.

It was extremely eerie here, the wind was howling, carrying with it the anguished whispers of ghastly entities. Everything was tinted in a pale blue hue, from the sky to the ground beneath his feet.

As Rex looked around, he noticed the ground wasnʼt merely sand.

Upon closer inspection, he could see the countless particles containing something within.

A swaying smoke that he soon recognized.

A grim realization dawned upon him, this was no ordinary desert, each grain of sand held a soul, perhaps the spirits of Werewolves, who had perished under the Yule Moonʼs curse, or others like him who had dared to defy it.

”Iʼm in his realm... so this is the Yule Moonʼs realm” Rex muttered.

He was now standing in a celestial graveyard, a desert of unending anguish and despair.

For better or worse—he had gained what he wanted, forcing the Yule Moon to do something but being brought to its realm was another thing entirely. Rex was alone—surrounded by the ghosts of those who had fallen before him.

Perhaps, he might also join them, defeated and trapped here for eternity.
