Ancient God in the Modern World

The moment that Hestia agreed to be imprinted with their Lord's mark, Orginech passed him to Cold Wind which brought her to Allen's Divine Kingdom in the Asgardian Realm.

"His eminence is not on planet earth?" Hestia asked as they crossed the portal to Allen's Divine Kingdom.

"His eminence has his Divine Kingdom. He wants to get to know Asgard."

"Asgard? I thought it was already destroyed?"

Hestia was not oblivious of the demise of the Asgardians. Although there might be survivors, she did not think that they are still the Gods and Goddesses that she knew.

"It is now in ruin." Cold want to tell more about the world where he came from. However, they had already arrived at Allen's holy shrine inside his Divine Kingdom.

"Have you prepared yourself? We are about to see his eminence."

In the next second, they arrived before a grand door of Allen's holy shrine.

Huala!

Cold Wind pushed the door open and revealed the grandness behind it.

There are the statues of the Three Angels as well as Orginech carved in gold and was releasing a grand aura.

At first glance, they seemed to be made of normal gold; however, judging by their luminance as well as by their aura, it is not hard to tell that it is made of Divine energy.

Each of the four statues is about ten meters in height. Hestia and Cold Wind cannot imagine just how much Divine energy was spent on them. There must be a few tens on each of them.

Then, in the middle of the four statues, there is a throne.

With just one look, one would be able to tell that whoever sits on it must be a great figure.

Indeed, that is none other than the God of Life and Death's throne.

"My Lord, the God of Life and Death, I present you Hestia, the Goddess of Hearth."

Cold Wind said while on his knees.

Meanwhile, seeing that Cold Wind knelt, Hestia also did so. She dare not be presumptuous.

"It is good to have another Divine Spirit as a subordinate. Rise!"

As they heard Allen's voice, he appeared seated on the throne while playing with a thumb-sized fireball. However, at first glance, they could tell that the fireball can burn them in a matter of seconds without resistance.

"Thank you, my Lord."

"Hestia, how can I assure that you will be loyal to me, the God of Life and Death?"

Allen asked as he glared at her scrutinizingly.

"Your Eminence, I am willing to bear your mark."

Hestia was already briefed about this. Furthermore, she had long prepared herself to receive Allen's mark.

"My mark? Do you know what does that implies?"

"Your Eminence, I will become your slave for eternity."

After she said that, the fireball that Allen was playing with turned into a fiery mark which then flew towards Hestia.

"AHHHHHHHH!"

As it touched her, Hestia screamed as she felt an intense pain. She felt as if she was being burned alive. It was as if she was brought to hell. or perhaps the hell was brought to her.

"My Lord???"

Cold Wind looked at her in concern.

"Worry not, Cold Wind. She will be fine???"

Hearing that, Cold Wind heaved a sigh of relief. However, he paled as he heard his Lord's next words.

"???as long as she perseveres."

But on second thought, this is only right. After all, his Lord is not a cheap God whom anyone could serve.

???

After a few days, when Hestia is already fine, Cold Wind went back to earth. However, Hestia remained with Allen as per his instruction.

"Hestia, I need you to do something."

Allen said while seated on his throne.

"My Lord, what is it?"

"A Demon has offended me. Kill him," Allen said. As he said so, he showed Apophis' image to her. "However, be careful, I will not be able to support you for the time being."

Allen did not say why; however, she could tell that his Lord is in the process of stabilizing his power. But despite that, she knew that she will not be a match to him.

Indeed, she could only look up to Allen's power.

I wonder who offended my Lord. I reckon he mustn't be a weak Demon.

Whoosh!

In the next second, Allen opened a portal towards the elves.

???

"My Lady, our army will be reaching the Unwelcoming Heights three days from now," Melandrach informed the Goddess that their Lord sent.

As per Allen's instruction. Hestia went to subdue the Demon.

She brought with her the elven army to help her with her mission. At the same time, in order to eliminate the unfaithful elves.

Killing two birds with one stone.

"Tell me something about the Unwelcoming Heights."

"My Lady, most of the time, it is a hollow point. However, there are times that the Divine energy of the demonic energy would recede which will let the opposite energies dominate the place."

"Is there a pattern with it?"

"One of our elven ancestors discovered the pattern. And, according to the calculation of the Druids, the demonic energy will recede two and a half days from now. It will last for at least a day." Melandrach replied.

"We need to hurry, then."

"My lady, that is not possible, three days is the fastest???"

Before Melandrach could say his reasons, Hestia interrupted him.

"I will take care of it."

After she said that, she glowed in white light.

"Lord God of Life and Death, please grant your subject the resilience we need in our journey."

The light she emitted reached everyone in the army and granted resilience as per her prayer. At the same time, her light also nuffed the elven ship which they are using as transportation.

At this moment, she had tested that her authority is indeed very compatible with her Lord.

Meanwhile, after the blessing, the elven army began moving while she floated up in the air.

She was enjoying the feeling of being surrounded with Divine energy.. Although it is not hers, this still felt good.
