The Invincible Full-Moon System

Chapter 1318: When Gods Bend (3)

Rex, with the aid of a couple of items from the System, was able to create this situation.

He had seen how Meloriana was making a big deal—about the Great Lunaʼs remains, even to Yulthar and was curious why that was the case. Naturally, he did the most logical thing—and asked the System about it.

As it turns out, the Great Lunaʼs remains were an additional source of power for Meloriana.

Upon death, the Great Lunaʼs body undergoes a miracle.

She turned into a powerful artifact capable of turning the normal moonlight energy, and also kingly energy into divinity. It was only connected to Meloriana—since she was the deity that represented love and serenity amongst the Lunirich Gods.

Then again, her strength was also the strength of the entire Lunirich Gods.

If she became stronger then so will the others.

But this doesnʼt surprise Rex at all.

Before he attacked and destroyed the Bloodstone Crater, he already learned what it was.

It was a holy ground connected to the Honey Moon Goddess.

Rex had wanted to obtain the Honey Moon King Mark through this attack, and with the Great Lunaʼs remains, that became possible. He obtained a key to reach what he wanted, but to his surprise, the key was more effective than he initially thought.

And this trap he prepared for Meloriana was made to force her to comply.

In ancient times, the Crescent Lunirich Formation was used to reverse a helpless battle.

Only the Werewolf Origin and a couple of blue bloods knew of this secretive formation and even fewer who could create it. Giving up the appropriate amount of sacrifices to fulfill the required energy, they could summon one of the Lunirich Gods to battle.

It was done through the possession of mortal flesh.

Of course, the Lunirich God who would come down depends on who answered.

Since this formation was so great, it was used sparingly knowing that using it a lot would be displeasing the Lunirich Gods. Reserved only for the direst, and most important—of battles, but Rex did the complete opposite.

Using this formation, he calls forth the Lunirich Gods.

Adding the Great Lunaʼs remains into the equation, the pull was directed at Meloriana.

More than that, Rex also opted to use Liliya not only for the vessel for Meloriana to possess but also to trap her in the mortal realm. Liliyaʼs body was prepared earlier, she was branded with special ancient runes.

Meloriana has no way to free herself from this grave situation she was in.

And with the pressure from the worldʼs energy threatening to punish her, Rex has full control.

Tonight, Iʼm going to ask for all my demands and you will grant it to me.

Grinning at the favorable situation, Rex stared at the clearly stressed Meloriana.

Just then, however, a notification appeared in front of him.

...

Description: Congratulations—the user has successfully trapped the Goddess of the Honey Moon in a deadly situation! Capitalize on the situation, and force more out of Meloriana, it is the userʼs duty to challenge the Gods as a candidate of invincibility. Even Gods would bend to the userʼs will!

Rewards: 2x Instant level ticket, Source of Divinity, and Royal Black Cloak.

...

Rex reads through the content of the sudden quest attentively.

He paused when he saw the System congratulating him in the description section.

But then again, this wasnʼt exactly a regular ordeal so it was expected.

Moreover, as he reads through the description of the sudden quest, he frowns in confusion.

Force more out of Meloriana? Like what? Other than the King Mark, what can I ask?

Despite managing to achieve this situation, he didnʼt really know what to ask of Meloriana other than her King Mark. Anything other than that she could easily pull back her promise when she was freed from this situation.

If he wanted to take advantage of this situation, he needed to ask for practical things.

Something that he would feel the benefit of instantly.

Focusing back on Meloriana, Rex decided to handle this first while thinking of other requests.

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

”Donʼt think this level of world energy would pose a threat to me, I will not give my blessing”

Rex laughed inside when he heard this, Meloriana was trying so hard to keep her composure but the sudden quest from the System already confirmed that she was in a pickle. She could not escape her situation and the worldʼs energy would surely mess her up if she got caught.

Happy that Meloriana didnʼt surrender easily, Rex nodded.

It would be boring if she accepted his request too easily.

”I believe you so weʼll sit here until the barrier breaks,” Rex said—lying on his side on the red force platform with a teasing smile on his face. ”If I canʼt get your King Mark, then letʼs make this a payback for Yulthar, ambushing me like a coward”

Upon hearing this, Meloriana sweated.

Crack!

She turned sharply when she heard the crack on the barrier spreading wider.

As seconds went by, the worldʼs energy would only increase.

Rex—and Meloriana clashed in a battle of attrition, which would only end when one of them, surrendered. But even before a solid minute passed, it was already evident who was putting on a strong front and who was actually strong.

Feeling the pressure of the worldʼs energy growing, Meloriana clicked her tongue.

It seemed Rex already saw through her and he wouldnʼt budge.

”As you wish, I would give you my blessing” Meloriana yielded.

And this made Rexʼs smile grow wider, and she could already tell that Rex was going lower.

”Since you wasted almost a minute of my time, the price has heightened. On top of giving me your blessing, you would also give my pack your blessings, how about that?” Rex proposed— a proposal that shocked Meloriana as to how shameless he could be. ”You can grant that can you?”

Upon hearing this, Meloriana took a step forward, her fury was threatening to explode.

But this only made Rex look around, checking the barrier with fake concern.

”Careful there, you donʼt actually plan to get hit by the worldʼs energy did you?”

”Stop this, I already agreed to give you what you want!”

”Now what I want has changed. Keep this up and I might change it again”

”You-!”

Meloriana was absolutely speechless, never had she been used by a mortal this badly.

Only one mortal was able to do this to her, but Rexʼs position was way lesser than his.

Because of that, she was utterly embarrassed for being in this situation.

Despite her unwillingness, she was given no choice, this was an extortion.

”Very well, I would grant it to you. Give me your hand, the barrier will not last long”

”Is that so hard to be this compliant from the start?”

Rex shrugged his shoulders and approached Meloriana, giving her his hand.

Just as he did that, however, Meloriana grabbed his hand tightly, and injected him with a vast amount of celestial energy. Rex was surprised by this, he could feel his entire body becoming stronger, surging with a torrent of power.

It was almost as if he was transcending into a greater being.

Upon reading this, Rex glared at Meloriana.

She, in return, shot a wicked smile and chuckled evilly.

”Arrogant! Now youʼre going to also be attacked by the worldʼs energy!”

”What?!”

”I increased your divinity, and now weʼre on the same boat. Release me or weʼll both get hit. I and the other divine beings you took lightly would—be quite hurt by this but you... you would be a dead man”

Rex looked down, his expression darkened.

It seemed like Meloriana gave him her celestial energy and cloaked him with it—to make the worldʼs energy also mistake him as a divine being and as a result, tried to eject him from the mortal realm.

Considering the worldʼs energy was violent, this is extremely bad.

Meloriana would survive but Rex would definitely get shredded into pieces.

He is not as strong as a Goddess and thatʼs a fact.

Seeing that the realization dawning on him, Meloriana laughed harder.

She was embarrassed that she got trapped here but now, it wouldnʼt end as bad with this.

Rex let his guard down because of his arrogance, and got the situation reversed onto him.

But as Meloriana was awaiting his inevitable decision of freeing her from this mortal body, it was then she sucked in a cold breath when Rex turns out to be smiling savagely—she could not understand why Rex was still acting confident.

Out of nowhere, Rex grabbed Meloriana by the head and pulled her along.

He stood right behind the crack in the castleʼs barrier with the rushing worldʼs energy on the other side. Rex gripped her head tightly—and forced her look ahead, the moment the barrier broke, she would be the first one to get hit.

”I told you, didnʼt I?” Rex whispered into her ears. ”I have a backer stronger than Gods”

Upon hearing this, Melorianaʼs eyes widened.

She could feel the celestial energy she forced into Rex was repelled back onto her.

Not even giving her time to process what had happened, Rex charged his fist—and cast, the Brutal Impusle skill. A spiraling wave of energy shot from his knuckles and struck the barrier, creating a loud banging sound.

Crack!

Rexʼs Brutal Impulse moon ability dented the barrier from the inside.

At the sight of this, Meloriana tried to struggle but the grip on her head was too strong.

”Keep being arrogant when the time is not yours, and Iʼll make sure time will indeed run out for you,” Rex said as he cast another Brutal Impulse, cracking the barrier further. Meloriana could feel the breeze of the worldʼs energy, prickling her skin already. ”Are you ready to be obedient?”

”Okay! Okay! Okay!” Meloriana nodded repeatedly. ”Stop striking it! Iʼll give it to you!”

Despite that, Rex didnʼt heed her and kept going.

Crack!

Swoosh!

Realizing that Rex was not playing games anymore and wouldnʼt stop until she granted what he wanted, Meloriana quickly placed both her index—and middle fingers, onto her forehead. She channeled her power and concentrated it until a mark appeared.

Following that, she peeled it out of her forehead, a yellow glowing King Mark.

It was dripping with kingly energy that sparkled like snow.

Upon seeing this, Rex reached his hand onto it and placed the mark into his inventory.

He checked it and read the description before he nodded his head.

Knowing that he couldnʼt trust Meloriana, checking it with the System is a must.

And it seemed the yellow King Mark was real.

”How about my second request? Give your blessings to my pack members too” Rex said.

Having no other choice, Meloriana pointed down and shot yellow rays from her fingertips.

Like a heat-seeking missile, the yellow rays—separated in different directions, two of them went down to the castle and struck both Evelyn and Adhara. Only then did Rex nod, he got what he wanted.

Even Gods, with the System by me, can be exploited.

Rex smirked before he deactivated the formation, freeing Meloriana from Liliyaʼs body.

”Pleasure doing business with you, send my regards to the others,”

”Someday, we will repay this humiliation, Rex Silverstar. Do me a favor, be honorable—hand back the Great Luna to the real Werewolves”

As soon as she was freed, Meloriana shot to the cosmos, leaving Liliyaʼs body behind.

Rex caught Liliya while looking up at where the Goddess went towards.

”She called me by my name, not ʼmortalʼ or ʼscoundrelʼ” Rex mused with a small smirk.

Immediately after Melorianaʼs presence disappeared, the worldʼs energy also disappeared.

Having finished his matters here, Rex put the Great Lunaʼs remains into the inventory—and began descending back down to the castle. Liliya was knocked out from being a vessel but she should be fine.

Landing on the courtyard with a gentle step, Rex straightened his back.

Adhara and Evelyn were there, looking at him with a peculiar look.

Not minding them, Rex took out the Honey Moon King Mark essence from the inventory.

A brilliant mark of yellow light appeared.

Rex placed it close to his King Mark and when he did, it was completely absorbed.

He closed his eyes as every part of his body was rejuvenated with power.

Eventually, a notification alerted him of his achievement.
