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 co 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 resentnt 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 rembered 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 overco, in order to succeed in the trial', the way it was phrased struck a realization.
Rex had a feeling that the System sohow forced Kaiser to give him the trial.
Knowing that the System is stronger than the Gods, this was possible.
His suspicion was also confird when Yulthar brought him to the Yule Moon realm.
eting 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 beca 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 to beco a God. Nobody was able to reach the realm of godhood, I doubt the first human emperor reached that. Rex gazed skywards, taking his ti to savor the wind brushing against his body at this height. I've accepted the System, because to kill a monster I need to beco a monster.
Now... I was given a choice again.
The System is giving a choice again.
To protect the ones I love, am I willing to beco 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 mont, 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 beco a God ant sothing beyond his comprehension.
But once again, the painful mories resurfaced in his mind.
All of his senses rembered 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 ntion 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 ca 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 fird 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 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?!
Co on! I can't hold it for long! I need to channel the damn energy!
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 tis 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.
Upon seeing this, Rex felt a surge of relief as he was about to let go of the enormous energy.
But he was stopped.
What now? Isn't it supposed to be done?! I'm losing my focus here!
