Ancient God in the Modern World

"Hahaha, I'm Gaia, the Goddess of this planet. It is only normal that you cannot see that I am a Divine Spirit."

Gaia smiled slyly and added, "oh great Divine Spirit of Life and Death, I besiege you, please sacrifice for this world. Give us your Divine energy!"

Although she sounded like Allen's followers, Allen was disgusted at her. However, Allen did not think much of it. After all, even he, in ancient times, also feed on the other Divine Spirits.

Indeed, he had friends, but he also has enemies. He devoured the weaker Divine Spirit to increase his power and authority.

"Do I have a choice?" Allen asked.

"None!" the two of them answered in unison.

In the next few hours, Allen's Divine energy flowed into Tartarus, powering it up.

"Now, I get it!"

His Divine energy that flowed into Tartarus let him see what's inside it. There are plenty of titans imprisoned inside. Or to be precise, there are plenty of Demons kept inside.

It would not be wrong to say that Tartarus is akin to hell.

"Thank goodness that you have finally seen what's inside."

Knowing that Allen already saw what was inside Tartarus, Cratos and Gaia felt relieved.

They could feel Allen's Divine energy flowing into the Tartarus smoothly.

"Now, that I've cooperated with you, are you not going to tell me what is Tartarus?" Allen asked.

Meanwhile, Merlyn and Gaia looked at each other. They knew that they are now obliged to tell Allen about it.

"Tartarus is a Divine Weapon. It can create an isolated subspace akin to a shrine."

Gaia explained.

"Using it, we have created a subspace to imprison the Demons because we thought they might be useful someday. Never did we know that it will come to this. Also, we did not have enough power to eliminate them all."

After that, the three went silent for a while before Merlyn added.

"In truth, we did not want to sacrifice you, a strong Divine Spirit. However, to keep Tartarus working, we need to supply it with lots of Divine energies. Otherwise, the Demons will be freed and would bring more chaos into this world."

"I hope you can understand us."

Meanwhile, Allen thought that their decision back then is foolish.

If it was him, he could have killed them all no matter the cost. However, everybody has their minds and their decisions.

"I understand you," Allen replied with a melancholic tone.

Hearing him, the two heaved a sigh of relief. However, in the next second, they knew that they got it wrong.

"Even back at time immemorial, the Divine Spirits had already devoured one another to quickly raise their strengths."

Allen paused for a while before continuing, "at that time, us the Divine Spirits, ruled supreme. There are no Demons. There is no chaos. Or perhaps there is, but we did not see or meet them."

The two listened to him. However, in the next second, they both paled.

"How did you do it?" they asked in unison.

"Hahaha, do you think I am that weak?" Allen asked.

The Divine chains that were coiled in him were released.

In the next second, he took out two Divine crystals and dropped them on the ground which was quickly absorbed by the Tartarus.

"My Divine chains," Cratos gasped as he lost control over it.

Then on the next second, the other end, the one fare from Allen, coiled around Merlyn while the other end coiled unto Gaia.

"To tell you the truth, I have plenty of Divine energies on my reserve. Unless I am killed with one shot, I can do nothing. Otherwise, I could always fight back." Allen smiled as he had already planned this from the beginning.

"Hehehe!" Allen chuckled. Then he pointed at the two, "as for you, you are too weak. You cannot kill me with one shot."

Allen paused again as he created a chair from his Divine energy.

"Did you know? Your authority might be weak. However, it would be very useful for the current me." Allen said as he looked at Gaia.

At this moment, Gaia shivered as she had guessed Allen's intention. She tried to resist but to no avail, she did not have enough Divine energy.

Unlike Allen, she could not use Divine energy to resist the chains. She needs to have Divine energies far more than how much Allen has to resist.

However, that would be akin to reaching for a star at night. The stars' light could reach us, but we could not reach them. All we could do is to stare.

"For the sake of this world, give me your authority, oh great Goddess Gaia," Allen said back the words that they said to him.

Allen then reached for Gaia and forcefully dug his hand into the deepest part of her spirit where her authority resides.

After that, her body that was condensed from the laws of the world and from Divine energy dissipated. However, Allen could not care less.

"Hmm, I can feel the power of this planet," Allen mumbled into himself as he held a marble-like something akin to the miniature earth.

This is the core of her authority. Oftentimes, this orb looked like a seal. However, there are also cases as this, especially of the authority of the Divine Spirit could be seen in the world.

For example, the Divine Spirit of Swords would have something like a sword.

Meanwhile, Allen is not in a hurry to devour Gaia's authority. Instead, he sealed it as he had other things he had to deal with for now.

"Cratos, are you going to say something?" Allen asked as he looked at Cratos.

However, Cratos only looked at him. He finally realized that he had never been Allen's match. However, he will not resign to the fate that Allen forged for him.

He knew that Allen will also take his authority like Gaia.

Therefore, in the next second, He forcefully used his authority to do one final thing.

The energies in the air surged. However, they did not attack Allen. Instead, they killed the Divine Spirit that summoned them.

Indeed, Cratos would rather go to his Divine slumber than surrender his authority to some other Divine Spirits.
