Ancient God in the Modern World

As Allen looked at the golden egg, he could feel an unknown energy coursing towards him. This energy wanted to ignite something within him. However, since he was just using his Divine projection, nothing could be ignited. Furthermore, the energy was countered by his Divine energy.

The energy from the egg is released via its irresistible aura.

Indeed, it is irresistible. Even Allen, a Divine Spirit, was caught by its aura. However, that is all. It could not do anything to him.

But it is different for Cyril and Milo. They are simply followers of a Divine Spirit. However, Allen merely watched them.

Although he knew that the aura of the egg is strong, if the two did not show signs of resistance, "… they will not be worthy of my grace."

Fortunately, the two of them showed resistance, and at this time, the faith energy from their seed of faithfulness gushed out and helped them resist its aura.

Meanwhile, Allen is studying the golden egg at the end of the corridor. The more he looked at it, the more it becomes irresistible.

However, in the next second, Allen's Divine projection and his real body exhaled at the same time. Then, from the indistinct face's nose of his Divine projection, Divine energy gushed out and coursed to Cyril and Milo.

As the Divine energy reached them, the effect of the golden egg disappeared.

As the two realized what just happened, they shivered but then, in the next second, silently thanked their Lord deep in their heart.

"That thing could influence minds. Be careful," Allen told them.

He now understood some of the prowess of the golden egg.

…

Meanwhile, in one of the halls of the tomb, a lady is in front of an Egyptian coffin.

If the Plague Priest was here, he would have noticed the lady.

Indeed, the lady is the one they are pursuing, the witch.

"Lady of the light, thy eternal servant is waiting for thy revival," the witch said piously. "I will shed blood for thee. I will burn cities."

"I swear unto thee heavens that I, Charmion, shall forever be loyal to thee, my lady."

"Ajdbvsduw wbyeticmxj yvhcjnu."

As Charmion swore her loyalty, whispers could be heard from the coffin.

For someone else, this is creepy and scary. However, Charmion did not think so. She was glad, instead.

After that, she then took a golden egg out of nowhere and said, "my lady, I've brought thee thy treasure."

The golden egg is not just an ornament or a jewel. This is a treasure, that could make the Divine Spirit and Demons alike jealous. It was made of Primordial Gold.

Primordial Golds are used for forging Divine and demonic weapons and such for a Divine Spirit and Demon alike. It belongs to one of the rarest heavenly treasures that could harness Divine and demonic energy.

They would want to get their hands on it. Meanwhile, although they could use the Divine and demonic energy to create it, they would not do it.

The Primordial Gold is a treasure supreme. It would require a vast amount of Divine and demonic energies. Only the ones alive since ancient times could create one.

Meanwhile, after admiring the golden egg for a while, she placed it atop the coffin.

Gasp!

Her action made whatever is inside the coffin heave a hoarse gasp of satisfaction.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

After a while, the coffin creaked. Then, ferocious bangs could be heard from the inside.

Crack!

After a few more bangs, the coffin cracked and a dry rotten corpse hand emerged and held the golden egg. It then pulled its body from the coffin.

From then, a mummified corpse of a lady emerged wearing a crown.

Meanwhile, as Charmion saw the mummified corpse, kneeled and was in tears.

"My lady, you're finally back. This lowly one is glad to be graced by thy presence."

"Charmion, how long has it been?" the lady asked with her hoarse voice.

"It has been a few thousand years my queen."

"How is Egypt, my empire?" the lady asked.

"My queen, Cleopatra, Egypt…," Charmion hesitated for a while before explaining what happened.

…

Meanwhile, Allen and the two had gotten close to the golden egg.

He did it without much difficulty. However, for Cyril and Milo, every step is akin to threading mountains and weaving seas. But that did not come without gains. They could feel the faith energy within the seed of faithfulness getting denser, little by little, with every step.

Not only that, but their spiritual energy is also increasing causing them to rank up unknowingly.

Allen, using his Divine projection, looked at them from behind.

He could help them; however, he would not do so unless they could no longer take it. If he did, it would be like stripping them of the chance to get stronger and the two also knew it.

Meanwhile, Allen looked back at the golden egg.

At first, it was barely noticeable.

"Is this what I think it is?" Allen mumbled. "No, this is a barren place. How could it be here?"

Allen could not believe what he was seeing as he realized that the golden egg is made up of Primordial Gold.

"I don't know if I am lucky or not. But I will do what I can to take it."

He seized the egg in his hand and sealed it with his Divine energy.

The egg is barely enough to fit in his hand. However, he knew that it was enough to forge a dagger.

At the same time, the more Allen looked at it, though sealed, he noticed that the egg is akin to a clump of ore. It was barely forged.

"Hahahaha. Fate is with me. This is yet to be truly forged by a Demon or a Divine Spirit."

Allen laughed in delight. And, with that, he had decided to claim it for himself.

"It is decided. This will belong to me from now on. HAHAHAHA!"

Also at this moment, Milo and Cyril were on their limits and could no longer take it. Their eyes had turned scarlet and were about to be crazed.

However, Allen somewhat valued them and would not let them be crazed just like that.
