Ancient God in the Modern World

"I'm sorry, my daughter."

After Helen had become unconscious, Brett entered the room in the next second.

He did not have a good expression.

Meanwhile, as admiral Mari saw him enter, she wiped her tears and said, "this is necessary to release my daughter from the hand of God."

It is unknown whether she is telling Brett or if she was simply comforting herself.

"I don't think that God intended to harm her in any way," Brett said.

"You don't understand, there is no free food in this world. Do you think a Divine Spirit would be generous enough to spoil his followers without something in return?"

Hearing it, Brett did not say a thing.

"Brett, have you forgotten your role?" admiral Mari asked him while coldly staring.

"No ma'am. I am a secret bodyguard."

As Brett said it, she did not feel good.

In the next second, he could only bid farewell as she walked away.

…

Meanwhile, Allen's followers, which Helen and Brett left at Base 001, are jolly as they worshiped their Lord.

Although Helen is no longer at Base 001, they continued praising the Lord. However, they found it rather a hassle as none of them seemed to be ranking up to form a seed of faithfulness.

"Is there something wrong with what we are doing?"

In the next moment, a man from the crowd spoke. If Elioenai is here, he would surely be able to know the man.

"Our ways are indeed wrong. Being a follower of our Lord, the Divine Spirit of Life and Death means that we should give our all to our Lord voluntarily."

He then paused as he moved in front of the crowd.

"We should not be selfish to only follow the Lord because of the benefits that he will give us."

Meanwhile, the crowd went silent as they pondered over what the boy said. However, they looked at the boy with a rather doubtful expression in the next second.

"I am Tommie from the Temple of Life. I am here to help you. In fact, I am not the only one doing this. The other preachers of our Lord are also on the other bases."

As the young preacher said it, he immediately garnered the attention of the crowd.

Meanwhile, the man is indeed Tommie one of the groups that attacked Allen's church back at Base 355 as per Arthur's bidding.

…

A month passed.

The crisis of the human race continued to soar. The price tag of the goods for sale had gone up. However, it did not have a sign of stopping. The poor had gone poorer while the rich continued to become richer.

In addition, those that did not have an ability struggled to live and choose to be Allen's followers, instead.

"Sir Tommie, do what do you think is the cause of the crisis."

In one of the days after Tommie settled down at Base 001, he was asked by one of his fellow followers.

"The Human race is facing a calamity bigger than we have faced before."

"Will the Divine Spirit of Life and Death help?"

"He will. However, our Lord will hot help those that did not repent to him. He will let them die.

"If he is powerful, why doesn't he just help the whole planet instead."

Hearing this, Tommie went silent for a while.

"I don't know the plan of our Lord. The only thing that I can assure you is that he will not abandon his followers."

…

"Followers of the Divine Spirit, hehe. Give me all your credits. Otherwise, you will meet your Lord."

As Tommie and some others from Allen's followers at Base 001 were talking, a shout was heard.

As they looked at the source, they saw a man.

Meanwhile, as Tommie looked at him he did not have a good expression as he knew that the man is stronger than him.

"The man is stronger than me. The only way to deal with him is with the help of our Lord, the Divine Spirit of Life and Death."

After he said that, he walked to meet with the man.

"We are the followers of our Lord, the Divine Spirit of Life and Death."

Tommie said. However, the man who yelled merely raised one of his eyebrows and wore a grin.

"Divine Spirit? As far as I know, as long as I did not kill any of you and do not blaspheme his great name, nothing will happen to me."

The man said. Clearly, this is not the first time that the man had done something like this.

Meanwhile, it is indeed as the man said. The Angels and the others from the higher hierarchy of Allen's followers would not act to something like this. However, they would not do something about it.

"Hmm, do the thugs underestimate the followers of our Lord?"

Hearing what Tommie said, the others are rather infuriated.

"Everyone, let us show this filthy man that we do not need absolute strength to deal with him."

It was unknown who yelled. However, in the next second, Allen's crowd of followers began praying.

"Lord, the Divine Spirit of Life and Death, enact a Divine punishment towards the evil man before us."

In the next second, feathers with a golden hue appeared in the sky and flew towards the man. then, after a short while, the man is obliterated into nothingness.

However, this is not Allen, the Divine Spirit of Life and Death who was acting. Rather, it was Plague.

At the moment, he and the others had their attention focused on Base 001.

"Have you noticed what's wrong at that Base?"

Plague asked.

However, no one answered him. The others also felt that way. However, they did not have a clue regarding what is it.

"It is the work of the Demons?"

"Perhaps. However, this could also be the works of the other Divine Spirits."

Indeed, there is a great possibility that this could also be the work of the other Divine Spirits.. However, the Angels dare not name it.
