The Invincible Full-Moon System

A mental game.

Rex, as someone with power, was very familiar with this concept.

But he usually dwells in a mental game—where using a pond full of blood was not prohibited, not the likes of empty words and mockeries like this. Only the strong could survive, and even demand something in this dark world.

Anyone who was not strong or worse, weak, would have no say in anything.

For them, it is either to live under the rule of the strong or die.

However, Rex understands that power doesn't only involve individual strength.

Even the System would agree with him on that—and right now, it was clear—and undeniable that the Zahara Consortium wields the power. Being a strategic piece for the current trouble, they have the free reign to do whatever they want.

"Don't mind her manners, it has been a long journey" Rex intervened, easing the tension.

He doesn't mind being called his name, it was somewhat refreshing.

Nobody dared to call him by his name other than the pack and this was amusing for him.

Upon hearing his low-baritone voice, the two Tabaxis nodded and dropped the matter.

"The Mistress and Master are waiting for your arrival," One of them said.

Rex then gestured with his hand, "Go ahead and lead me, I'm eager to see them also"

Once again, Rex and Iris followed the two Tabaxis along with Kazzir across the Golden Edge, a place—that prioritized the military. As Rex walked on its street, he immediately could see a lot of Tabaxi soldiers training and blacksmiths hammering a new weapon.

It was a completely different atmosphere.

Along the way, Rex glanced at the surroundings and noticed a bleak aura clouding above.

All of them are scared.

Despite seemingly nonchalant about his sudden appearance here—these Tabaxis were really stressed inside. Even the two Tabaxis who were escorting him were leaking with a faint bleak aura, they were also scared.

Being feared is a good thing, the process would go smoothly.

Soon—the group arrived at a vertically tall building that was at least thirty floors high.

It wasn't massive but it was extremely high.

More soldiers, all of them around the sixth-rank to the seventh-rank realm could be seen.

All of them stood tall like statues, holding a curving blade at their chests.

Upon reaching the door, Rex was stopped by the two guards standing on either side.

Iris was quite annoyed by them, a new mid-rank Supernatural race acting presumptuous like this was rare. Back in the day—any race who were new like them would be extra careful—as one wrong move and their foundation would be crushed. Ȓ₳Ｎo͍ᛒÊṠ

However, she didn't act—she followed Rex's move.

"Why am I being stopped?" Rex asked, raising an eyebrow at the two escorts.

One of them gestured to the golden treasure chest on the side, "Put anything on you in that chest. It's prohibited to bring anything inside other than yourself—this is a direct order from Master Serevan and Mistress Serevia"

Rex smirked and paused, looking at the two escorts with an unsettling gaze.

Naturally, his gaze intensified the bleak aura coming from them as well as rising the tension.

But in the next second, he decided to comply and placed everything on him which was not much, into the treasure chest. He was left with a sleeveless combat shirt, that exposed his arm muscles and also his fingerguards.

From their faces, it seemed the fingerguards were also a problem so he also took it off.

On the other hand, Iris also did the same—placing her bow and cloak inside.

It was only then did the Tabaxi guards retracted back their blades and allowed them to enter.

Upon entering through the door—Rex was met with quite a small square-shaped room with a formation carved at the center. He didn't need Kazzir to guide him and instantly stood on top of the formation.

"Stay here, Iris," Rex suddenly said.

Iris was stunned and she was soon worried, she feared Rex would say something wrong.

However, under his gaze—she decided to trust him.

Something from the way he looked at her gave her confidence.

Rex's confidence and unbreakable character, traits he used to create an empire from scratch, surviving impossible scenarios, and going through so much pain—Iris could see it all from the gaze, and from that alone, she nodded.

Just a look was enough to make her understand that he would succeed.

As soon as she stepped back, Kazzir also stepped onto the formation.

Once the formation activated, their bodies turned into yellow light and shot upwards.

Iris was now along with the two escorts.

She turned towards them and asked, "Is there a room for me to wait?"

Hearing this, the two escorts nodded and led Iris outside.

'I've taught His Majesty everything he needed to know to confront the Tabaxis, he'll succeed. I'm going to wait for him, but I'm not planning to not do anything,' Iris thought, walking behind the two escorts. 'I'll help ease the other things His Majesty worries'

Meanwhile, on the twentieth floor.

A yellow light stopped there and materialized into both Rex and Kazzir.

Upon regaining back his vision—Rex saw that he was inside another small room decorated in gold. He saw many statues and spires of cats across the whole room. As a matter of fact, the room also hosted several mutated cats.

Each one of them was around the third-rank realm and many would find them cute.

One had very long furs that covered even its eyes—one had pristine white furs—and glowing ruby eyes—while another was chubby and sat on a pillow, at the corner of the room. Rex was not expecting the meeting would be held in a cat house.

However, he didn't focus on that and took a deep inhale instead.

A sweet and relaxing aroma.

Based on what Iris explained, there was a custom that existed solely among the high-ranking Tabaxis. She conveyed the high-ranking Tabaxis has a special incense—that was made, from the bones of a special mutated animal mixed—with secret herbs, that could produce multiple kinds of aroma.

Iris doesn't know exactly what they were made of but she knew what it was used for.

In normal cases, the incense was used for daily activities and relaxation.

However, there were some incenses that would be used in a meeting such as this one.

In a kind such as this—the Tabaxis could change the aroma into the proper one to induce the emotion they wanted in the other person. Influencing the other party, and making them more compliant and easy to negotiate with.

Since it wasn't an attack or energy but rather a scent, it could bypass any defensive power.

Iris said that they used this to sway the powerful Ancient Humans back in the ancient era.

One of the reasons why they survived until today.

Even among the Tabaxis, these incenses were a secret that very little knew.

Rex hadn't gotten the time to ask how she knew about this but that didn't matter.

Despite the utility of the incense, there was one stark weakness that Rex could exploit.

Because the Tabaxis used this all the time, addicted, they became immune to it, and made them resist the aroma's influence. But there's also a weakness. Due to their immunity, their body changed and adapted to the aroma.

Instead of being influenced, their emotions would be exposed.

One could easily tell from the color of their whiskers.

Upon recounting what Iris said in his mind, Rex turned to the other side, and found who were supposed to be Master Serevan and Mistress Serevia. Both of them were sitting on a humble pillow seat around a small square-shaped table.

Serevia was a humanoid woman with pinkish hair, cat ears, and eyes.

Serevan, on the other hand, is tanned skin with sharp and glowing golden eyes.

Most of the Tabaxis Rex saw along the way were slender and athletic but Serevan was bulky.

Compared to Rex, he was slightly bigger.

On the table, a few cups were served there with a teapot at the center.

"Serevan, Serevia," Kazzir stepped forward and gestured towards Rex. "this is Rex Silverstar"

As soon as he said that—Serevia and Serevan focused on Rex—looking at him up and down as this was the first time meeting the rising star of the new era. Someone who defeated the Fifthborn in combat.

Rex gazed at the two of them and instantly fixed on their ears.

Serevan's whiskers were tinged with a blue hue, while Serevia's carried a delicate shade of pink.

Keeping those colors in mind, Rex stepped forward and sat down on his designated seat.

A profound silence enveloped the room but Rex didn't seem to be bothered.

"I understand my visit is sudden but I've come here with respect," Rex started, reaching his hand to grab the teapot and pour himself a drink. "I've complied with your rules as this was your land, carried no bad intention, and even prepared a gift..."

Upon saying that, Rex flicked his fingers and summoned an item from the inventory.

A pristine white cat statue suddenly appeared in his hand.

Just from the detail of the statue, as well as the subtle but profound energy coming from it, the statue was definitely, not a normal one. It was called the Dexterous Cat Statue that Rex had bought from the System.

It costs quite a lot for a mere eight-rank realm item, thirty thousand gold to be exact.

Seeing the item, the twin rulers' gaze changed.

One look is all it takes for them to recognize what it is, and they want it.

"At the very least, shouldn't I be given a sliver of trust from you two?" Rex asked, eyeing both of them interchangeably. "Shouldn't I at the very least have this audience with the two of you alone without prying eyes?"

Upon hearing this, Serevan waved his hand, gesturing for Kazzir to leave, "Leave us"

Kazzir nodded and stepped onto the formation again.

However, Rex stopped him, "I didn't mean Kazzir, I mean our invisible friends up there"

Rex glanced at the high ceiling, he found multiple stat windows appearing from there.

Surprisingly enough, he couldn't see or even sense these invisible entities had it not for the fact that he scanned the room the moment he entered. It was quite commendable for them to control these entities.

From a glance, there were five of them.

Each one of them was of the mid-ninth-rank realm, quite strong for a mid-rank race.

Had King Jorik or Queen Shanaela been here, they would've been pressured by these things.

Considering that the Zahara Consortium was new, this must be one of their trump cards.

Naturally, realizing what Rex meant by what he said didn't only surprise Serevan and Serevia but also the entities on the walls. All of them moved higher, a bleak aura seeping out of them as they didn't expect Rex to notice them that quickly.

Ignoring their surprises, Rex sipped on the tea and praised the taste inside.

He was composed and completely in control.

Recovering from his surprise, Serevan leaned forward and placed his elbow on the table.

"Do you seriously think we would let ourselves be exposed when we are going to meet you?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. "We know your reputation, we know that you're unpredictable, so don't think we're going to trust you that easily. As far as we are concerned—you suddenly coming here is a threat"

On the other hand, Serervia didn't intervene but she seemed to be in the same boat.

Rex placed his teacup down calmly before turning to meet Serevan's gaze.

"If you know my reputation then you would know that this was not necessary" Rex replied, his eyes glowing with power as his lips curved up. "and also, I don't need to make threats. I suddenly came here because of an emergency that's all"

Upon hearing this, Serevan raised an eyebrow, "What are you saying?"

"I'm saying, that bringing protection wasn't necessary," Rex answered quickly, his expression turned serious—and cold as ice. "because if I ever wanted you two to be dead then you'd be dead already"
