The Invincible Full-Moon System
Chapter 1179: Delta's Mutation

Inspecting his stats intently, there were a couple of stark changes Rex immediately noticed.

One is the divinity section.

Back when Rex asked about it the first time, the System explained that the divinity section is a section that represents his divination, as a living being. Rex only achieved, the Second Star Demi-God divinity thanks to being the champion of the Countess of the Dark Lunirich.

Moreover, this divinity of his was also tied to the new feature, the emulation feature.

He would unlock more skills to learn with higher divinity.

Even the Order Skill he used to fight the Werepanther would be stronger with higher divinity.

A question that he asked instantly when he knew of this, was the way to increase his divinity, and as expected, it was not easy. His body is gradually increasing his divinity, because of the Countess who is a literal Lunirich Goddess, but that would take a long time.

Judging from the System, he would need a hundred years to reach Third Star Demi-God.

In order to quicken this process, he could try to accumulate oustifications—minor or major.

But as of right now—the only way Rex knew to do that, was through breaking a race beyond comprehension. He didn't know any other way, so gaining more outsifications would be very hard for him to do.

Other than the divinity section, there was also the status section.

He didn't know exactly what it was, but he reckoned that it was his current state of being.

Along with the new sections added from the System's successful upgrade—there were other notable changes. Stated right beside the pack section—he saw that there were two, pending members on top of the seven main pack members.

Rex thought for a second before he recalled the selections from the System earlier.

"The System did recognize Calidora as a pack member, a Minor Luna, even," He mused, quite surprised realizing that Calidora had somehow—demoted Evelyn's position. But then again, it should be natural, since Calidora now bore his child. "So is my kid the other pending member that the System referred to?"

Despite receiving no answer from the System, Rex is quite sure about his guess.

It must've been his child.

Moreover, his race also changed from Exalted to Grand Royal Black Prince.

Since he was not aware of the change in his race—Rex suspects that this change, happened recently when the System was in the process of upgrading. A gap that made him unaware of his change in race.

But the change must be sparked during the beginning of the Second Breath.

His elemental powers received a boost that time, and this must've sparked this race change.

After checking his status window, he went out of the training chamber.

Noticing that there were no maids Rex nodded his head, he was not fond of the castle, being crowded. "Delta should have already finished her mutation—and Flunra should also be there. I'll go and check on them first"

Before Calidora realized that he had finished his training, Rex sneaked out of the castle.

Following Flunra's scent, he reached the Colosseum and hastily went inside.

Going through the barrier surrounding the Colosseum—Rex popped his presence inside, and found that the arena at the center was thrashed with claw strikes. He was surprised that the place could be this damaged from a mere mutation.

Unlike an evolution, a mutation didn't provide that big of a power boost.

Looking at the two figures at the center, Rex frowned as he found Flunra and Prof. K, panting.

Leaping gracefully into the arena, he took a closer look and saw that the two were covered in severe wounds. Some places of their skins were sliced open revealing that their enemies had used a thin, sharp object to inflict the wounds.

Naturally, Rex reckoned that they were fighting Delta, but he was still skeptical.

Aside from not knowing why Delta would do that, she also wouldn't be able to take on Flunra.

"What happened?" He asked questioningly.

As opposed to answering him, Flunra quickly warned him, "It's not over yet, she's still angry!"

Just as he said that, Rex's eyebrows were raised as he sensed something.

In a fraction of a second—a monstrous figure appeared right behind him and thrashed him to the side, rolling across the ground, before crashing onto the wall. He was panned to the wall, like a painting, still surprised as to what had happened.

Blinking his eyes a couple of times, he realized that it was Delta who had attacked him.

Rex stood on his feet again and looked ahead, "Delta...?"

Roar!!

Unlike the massive white fluffy furs that he remembered Delta should be, she changed now.

Being a mutation, the changes weren't stark—but Rex noticed her fur now had a faint hue of pale black on the edges. Amongst her furs—something glistening mingled, steel, he realized—the same as her paws, which were now purely metal.

As he discussed with the System nights ago, her mutation depended on the energy source.

Since it was the Passues, this kind of change was within expectation.

However, there was one thing that Rex was not expecting, she became smaller than before.

In addition to that, she also became way stronger than he expected.

...

<Delta - Silverstar Wolf>

Race: Tarmac Lightning-Steel Wolf

Power: Ninth-rank (Mid) - Ancient Black Steel (1)

Mental: 18,990

Strength: 177,500

Agility: 271,250

Endurance: 235,100

Intelligence: 80,000

Danger Zone: Fangs, Claws, Furs, and Tail.

...

"Ninth-rank realm...?" Rex uttered in absolute shock.

He remembered the last time he checked, Delta was only at a measly seventh-rank realm, far from reaching the ninth-rank realm, the realm the others were in, right now. But that changed completely with this.

It was even more unbelievable since Delta had only undergone a mutation.

Such a leap in power should be unheard of through a mutation.

But then again, devouring the Passues and the Second Breath made all of this believable.

Refocusing back on Delta who was pacing left and right—baring her fangs, and glaring at him viciously, Rex frowned. He had never seen her look at him like this before, it was the look of a predator eyeing its prey.

Looking closely, Rex noticed that her eyes were slightly tainted with a purple hue.

And from that purple hue was the root of this problem.

Her mind was clouded by Chaos energy. Some of the Passue remains must've been tainted.

Even though his intention was to make Delta stronger by giving her the Passue Remains, Rex had overlooked a critical detail: some Passues were highly concentrated, with Chaos energy, in fact, many of them contained dangerously high levels of Chaos energy.

The Chaos energy is corrupting and vicious in nature.

Prior to the Fifthborn's death, the Chaos energy around was still burning rigorously.

It made the entire battlefield inhabitable for a lot of entities.

Not even the death of the Fifthborn stopped the Chaos energy from decimating the place.

Due to that, he should've known that being exposed to such a thing was bad for Delta.

But this was not simple exposure—this was a straight-up corruption as Delta was devouring these corrupted remains. It was Rex's fault for not being careful, and now, he must bear, the consequences that came with it.

<Sudden Quest!>

Delta is corrupted by Chaos energy—and is now, temporarily going berserk. If it went further, and was not dealt with—the corruption might be permanent. Dominate Delta, by draining her out of stamina, and snap her out of her corrupted state!

Rewards: 300 Billion Exp, 2 Million Gold, and Everlasting Sweet Berry.

Rex was greeted by a sudden quest popping into his vision.

Judging from the description of the quest, this situation could turn for the worst but Rex was not bothered, seeing that the rewards were not that good—the sudden quest should be easy to be completed by him.

Considering the gap in strength still, this is a piece of cake for him.

"Draining her out of stamina, huh...? I guess I'll wrestle her" Rex mused, lowering his stance.

Not even waiting for Delta to make the first move he already bolted forward—capitalizing his raw power that was already way higher than the normal pea of the ninth-rank realm. His feet were moving rapidly, closing in on Delta in a flash.

Seeing this, Delta growled and swiped at him.

Dodging her attack easily, Rex managed to reach her back and dived in for a tackle.

Rex spreads his arms to the side, with the intention of tackling Delta down from the back, but as he gets close, his eyes widen before he is quickly forced to abort his initial plan seeing the steel furs on Delta's back elongate swiftly.

Like a porcupine, her back was covered by sharp steel furs, a defensive move from her.

Cool power, Delta!

At the sight of this, he could only praise her new mutation.

Even then Rex could still see the weakness of her mutation—as there were no steel furs near her head, leaving that spot as a weak point for her. Despite that, he frowned deeply when he felt that his entire body was burning.

Fighting made the gradual penalty more painful, I see.

Not only was Rex trapped in a constant state of pain, that pain intensified in a fight.

It made him worried as even though he could sustain it right now, the coming months would be hazardous for him. Seems like the System saying that he has little chance to sustain, the gradual penalty alone was not a lie.

Blitz!

Just then, Rex's eyes diverted back to Delta, seeing crackling white lightning began to form.

Seems like the lightning element she possessed was still there for her to use.

Glancing at Rex as her steel furs returned back to their original lengths, Delta cracked a light smirk, before she disappeared from her spot. Following that was a series of exchanges—Rex on the defensive while Delta on the offensive.

Both of them were moving like two streaks of lightning across the arena.

Moreover, both adorned a smile as they clashed against each other in this sudden bout.

"Should we help...?" Prof. K asked, his eyes glued onto the battle.

Right before Flunra could answer, Rex's voice suddenly rang as he kept on battling Delta, "Go and organize the needed supplies for the Humans—ask Lauren and Burton about the state of the other kingdoms, and also prepare a strike team to scout the mist!"

"Well..." Upon hearing this, Flunra stood up. "you heard what he said. I'll be going"

Prof. K nodded in understanding, "I'll go back to my lab, then"

"Didn't you need to give the Emperor, something? He's there, so wait for him" Flunra added.

Remembering what he had come out for, Prof. K, slapped his forehead as he couldn't believe he had forgotten about it. But then again—he did fight against Delta, "You do not seem to be worried about Delta, we failed to stop her all this while you know"

"It's not that we fail, I'm not strong enough to stop her without hurting her" Flunra replied.

As he said that, Flunra dashed away, leaving to do what Rex told him to do.

Moments later.

Crash!

Activating his red force, Rex was immediately able to dodge Delta's attack and wrap his arms around her head as the two crashed to the ground. He managed to put Delta in a headlock, a little bit of strength is all he needs to pin her down.

Keeping her body wrapped with his black lightning, Delta couldn't move despite her struggle.

Eventually, she gassed out and the purple hue in her eyes disappeared.

<Sudden Quest completed!>

<Obtained 300 Billion Exp, 2 Million Gold, and Everlasting Purple Berry>

<Level up!>

Looking at Delta who had already calmed down, Rex mused, "Are you feeling better?"

In response, she nodded lightly.

Upon seeing this, Rex lets her go from the headlock as she stands up—shaking her head left and right from the soreness from the fight. He then rubbed her head, praising her for gaining a power boost, "Good girl, you're way stronger now. I will bring you with me to scout the mist what do you say about that?"

Growl!

Excited, Delta growled in enthusiasm, causing Rex to chuckle lightly.

But then, his eyes went to the side seeing that Prof. K was still here in the arena.

Approaching him slowly, Prof. K went to his knees and offered a beast head towards Rex.

Seeing this, Rex raised an eyebrow before a notification appeared.

<Congratulations on completing the Kingdom Quest!>

<Installing Vortex Pit of Elements to the city...>

Seeing this, Rex was pleasantly surprised, "Oh, I forgot about that..."
