The Invincible Full-Moon System

She would meditate for twelve hours throughout the day, then read something in the living room or watch something on her tablet. Always refuse to drink water from a normal glass, only a wine glass. And then always cook something elaborate at night.

Or maybe the ordinary man in a suit, who always passes the street around this time.

Perhaps the cleaning worker who randomly knocks on the door early in the morning for service.

All three of them are spies.

Rex had memorized the woman who actually lived in that room across on the first day, and itʼs not this woman he was seeing. The ordinary man in a suit looked normal, but Rex could tell that he occasionally passed the street and sat down on the bench with a different disguise every two hours.

And the cleaning worker, heʼs too strong.

Most of his colleagues were simply Demigods, but heʼs a one-star Awakened Demigod.

”Hmm… How do I lose them—and get to the Cavity without being detected?” Rex muttered inwardly. His mind worked to find a solution, as his time limit was a week, since thatʼs when the Cavity Skipper skill would disappear. ”Killing them would only alert the High Lord. And he might even send new spies to replace the ones I killed.

”I need an ability to erase my presence, and also an Oustification to empower that.” He added.

He reckoned the skill tree from the Banished Dark Moon would help him with the ability, but the latter is harder to do. ”I still have one more charge—from the stick that I can use,” Rex tapped the wine glass with his index finger, contemplating. ”I need to take a walk.”

Rex turned on the blinds, covering the window walls before turning around.

After taking a sip from the wine, he placed it on the table and headed for the door.

But he stopped mid-track.

Instead of leaving the penthouse, he flicked his wrist and summoned an item from the inventory.

A key of brilliant blue, so vivid it seemed to hold a piece of the sky captive. Light moved within it like liquid, and though it sat still in his palm, it exuded something more profound than a living being. Itʼs a divine key, unmistakably so.

…

Rank: Divine

Description: Grant permission to open a portal to another realm within the Primordial Meadow.

…

Rex stared at the permit that High Lord Rashal gave him.

He wanted to leave and quickly find an Oustification out there that could help with his situation, but he suddenly remembered that he hadnʼt made a choice yet. Since the permit could only be used once, Rex needed to make a choice.

Itʼs either to check on Evelyn and Gistella or help Adhara.

Checking on the two would mean using the Permit to use the Silverstar Genesis to enter his own realm.

As for helping Adhara, itʼs far trickier.

On the other hand, another item manifested—one that he purchased before entering the God Realm. An item that depleted his gold reserve. It took the shape of an hourglass with green sand in it, which exudes a more intense aura than the Permit.

…

Rank: Divine

Description: An item that will grant the user a connection to the outskirts of the Weaver of Timeʼs realm, the Sundial Arch.

…

Rex already sent Amanir and Devo to help Adhara endure the Godlings sent by Kaiser—but itʼs almost certain that they would not last for long. In order to reach them, Rex was forced to take the longer route, meeting with one of the Cluster Custodians so that he could go around the veil.

Only then would he be able to return to the Mortal Realm.

But this predicament is unlike anything he had experienced up until this point.

He was dealing with many powerful entities, and he couldnʼt bulldoze through the God Realm.

No matter how hard he tries, returning quickly to help Adhara isnʼt feasible.

Time is not on his side, as always, and the only way to change that was to ask for time from the deity who ruled over time, the Weaver of Time. Rex purchased the Hourglass of Chronus Loom—for that specific reason, but he was second-guessing his choice.

I donʼt even know what awaits me in the Sundial Arch. I might die instantly or even get trapped there.

Rex clutched the hourglass hard inside his hand, undecided on what to do.

I only have one Permit. This one. And if I donʼt use it to go to the Sundial Arch, I would need to wait until I get the Primordial Authority from High Lord Rashal. I donʼt know how long thatʼd be. Days? A week? Or maybe a month? I donʼt… know.

Every second that passes would mean a second of Adharaʼs tussle against Death.

She assured him with that smile on hers, but itʼs still hard to accept.
