From the moment Rex was chosen to be a Scion of Vertex and was allocated to the Anger Stratum, his soul and fate are bound to the Highseat of Invincibility. His existence was elevated due to the connection he has with the place above, even the Gods.
Probing into his soul was the same as probing into that connection.

Rex grinned in hubris at the sight of the Awakened Demigod committing suicide.
It was the first time anyone had attempted such a thing against him.
And though the Awakened Demigod's death was deeply disturbing, especially for Farhan and Mayla—Rex found it useful. A much-appreciated sacrifice. He glanced skyward again and noted how Farhan's attention had drifted, snared by the grisly spectacle.
But then again, his comrade committed suicide out of nowhere.
Even a hardened military veteran would be caught off guard by the sight.
Swish—!
