Ancient God in the Modern World

Meanwhile, back at the bridge, Allen's saints had already taken over guarding it because the military is now crippled. At the same time, the other organizations also took over the human bases.

It's not that they are overpowering the military, but it is to suppress the surging chaos among the human race.

The other organization would not be presumptuous enough to overpower them as long as Predecessor Benjamin is still alive.

He is at the ranks on par with the saints. The ranks beyond the rank of an admiral.

…

"Predecessor Benjamin, the Demons are stronger than we had initially expected."

It was Thomas who was conversing with him.

"Indeed, saint Thomas. However, I am confused as to why did you not kill them the Demons."

Indeed, at that time, the saints are already there and could kill them at will.

"We can't afford to commit a mistake. There is a chaos Demon lurking in the gate." Tomas replied.

However, Predecessor Benjamin did not know what is a chaos general.

"A chaos demon is on par with the lower angels of our Lord," Thomas said seeing his confused expression.

"What does that mean? Did the Demons already fix the bridge?"

This piece of news caused panic to Predecessor Benjamin.

"No, we think, the bridge itself is a Demons."

"Does this mean that we are in trouble?"

"Hahaha. You're belittling us the followers of the Divine Spirit of Life and Death."

After Thomas said that, he immediately sank into his shadows and disappeared.

…

Meanwhile, back at base 414, Elioenai began investigating the base. Along with him is the female saint, Izabel.

"What have you found?" Izabel asked.

Compared to her, Elioenai is a lot more efficient in an investigation. Thanks to his eyes that were fixed by their Lord back at the time.

"An array was carved here," he replied as he looked at the traces of an array in the ground.

"Array?"

"Yes, I think this is a teleportation array."

Izabel's eye gleamed in excitement and astonishment as he heard it. She was astounded to know that the Demons have something like this. At the same time, she was excited because they could have this array if they can understand and replicate it.

"We must notify our Lord."

With that, she clasped her hands prayed.

…

A week after fighting the Demons at the base.

"Hm, it took me a bit long but I am finally here. Oh…it seemed that the Demon did not erase my mark."

Just as Drew arrived at Base 233, he immediately sensed his mark. However, he did not immediately attack as he already learned from his mistake. At that time, he should have made necessary preparations before taking action.

With that said, he took out a seal and activated it. He knew that the Demons are sensitive to their aura.

Meanwhile, just like the last time, Dor'gan, the Demon of gluttony, is also living his life in luxury. He is in a fancy building among the humans.

He was slowly feasting in their spirituality.

Most of the humans that live in the building are rich people that loved to indulge themselves in their vanity.

"Ahh… this is heaven. Their spirits fluctuate with the source for us, the Demons."

The basic source of the Demons is the seven sins. It is where they originate as well as what will strengthen them.

"Oh, there are followers of a Divine Spirit here?"

At this moment, the Dor'gan found traces of Allen's followers.

"Have they found me already?"

"Hmm, they are too weak. This must be a coincidence. After all, the Divine Spirit is a powerful entity. Coupled with the merits that they have achieved, they must when we entered, it is not surprising to see that they have followers here."

However, unbeknownst to him, this is the work of Drew, a saint.

Meanwhile, the Demon of gluttony remained cautious despite believing that it is a coincidence.

"Joachim, come here. Do you want to obtain great power?"

Joachim is a young boy that he found in the streets. At that time, he is hungry for power.

He wanted to become stronger to avenge his companions against the demonic beasts.

Initially, they were a group of youths that had finished their military service. And, since they did not have jobs and major accomplishments in their service, they ended up as hunters.

Then, one fine night, when they are hunting, they were attacked by an upper colonel ranked demonic beast.

This demonic beast loved to prey on the weak and infest them with its parasite; the Gold Winged Butterfly.

It is said that it mutated from the normal butterfly from the era before the Demons arrived.

He is the only one that was not infested by a parasite because of his ability, spiritualization.

He can turn his body into a spirit form where physical attacks do not affect him. At the same time, he could also directly attack the spirits of their enemy.

This might sound formidable, but it is extremely weak against elemental attacks. In addition, he is timid in nature. Well, if not for the need for money, he wouldn't even think of being a hunter.

"Yes, uncle. I want revenge on those filthy things."

Meanwhile, Dor'gan was laughing inwardly.

"Hehe! I wonder what will be his reaction when he found out that the power that he obtained is from a Demon," Dor'gan thought.

"Ok, little fellow. Let me give you another ability."

Dor'gan then plunged his index finger on his forehead which made the poor boy scream in agony before becoming unconscious.

When he woke up, he was atop a soft bed.

"How do you feel?"

The first person that Joachim saw is the Demon that offered him power, Dor'gan.

"I'm fine, uncle. Uhm…may I know your name?" He asked.

Dor'gan is a person that he had just met. However, for some reason, he felt close to him. At the same time, the person was very kind and even offered him an ability.

"You will know in the future, as of now, use the power I gave you at your heart's desire."

The room went silent for a while before Joachim spoke.

"Uncle, what is my ability?"

The man said that he already has another ability; however, he does not feel another ability on him. It was like the man had pranked on him.

"You will learn it when facing your enemies. Hehe!"

The more Dor'gan acted mysteriously, the more he felt that the man is pranking on him.

On the next day, Joachim bid farewell as he had decided that the sooner he acts the better, despite the uncertainty.

The thought of revenge has been weighing down his heart for a while now.
