Rex studied the Goddess of the Greater Moon's face and understood that his method was working.
His attempt to coax her into being on his side worked.
Some might say that this method that he employed on Aylith was nothing more than coercion. And in a way, it was. But individuals like Rex and Aylith—who were seated high in the pyramid of power clearly understood how the world worked.
It was that the weak would always be under the strong.
Normally, anyone who was in Rex's position, standing before a greatly weakened Goddess, would most certainly take advantage of the situation through worse means. A living and weakened Goddess was a rare supply to ascend to Godhood.
And considering that Aylith was helpless, she was basically free for the taking.
