Ancient God in the Modern World

The divine spirit of life and death completely possessed Allen Godfre in less than ten seconds. In those moments, they were petrified by the unknown energy influx inside Allen's body. They were not able to move, and even their thoughts were completely frozen.

"HAHAHAHA!" the divine spirit of life and death laughed loudly and said, "Allen Godfre and I are now one. His enemy will be my enemy and those who intend to kill him will die."

The five were confused. Just now, Allen seemed to be different. They did not know why but they felt scared.

Allen looked at them in the eye and grinned as he said, "be honored. You are the first group of lowly mortals that I will kill in this era."

They were about to retort that he just killed his 'best friend,' but Allen pointed his index finger towards them and shot a short burst of divine energy. He used his authority over death to kill them.

The divine energy that he released was converted into death power and attacked their soul.

No mortal can resist divine energy, even those who have an ability. Though they had something that looked like an authority, they were still mortals. 

Even in his time, he did fully comprehend the divine energy. Although his body in ancient times, as a divine spirit, is a solidified form of divine energy, he did not fully understand it. He only knows that divine energy can be used to do almost everything and anything.

Divine energy is generated by the praise and faith of his followers and by the actions that proclaim his authority. For example, the divine spirit of slaughter will get divine energy when somebody is slaughtered. It is like proclaiming his authority. Any divine spirit would be able to, depending on their understanding of their authority.

But for Allen, he is not able to fully comprehend his authority, or else he would not have died. He would have reigned supreme, and no one would be able to kill him. Not even with the eight great divine spirits combined. 

But now, he somewhat understood his authority. The reason why he can sustain his thought in his deep slumber is because he had gained a deeper understanding of his authority, he did not understand much of it. 

It only became clearer when he received the influx of divine energy from them. The original Allen has a strong urge for life, while the five desired his death because they hated him.

Allen sat down and studied the body he had gotten.

This body is nothing like his body in the past. The short burst of divine energy that he shot a while ago made him feel pain. This body cannot endure too much divine energy. 

Although he can gather divine energy, he cannot use them unless this body becomes strong and is altered by divine energy. But that is better said than done. 

First of all, he does not have any followers, and the divine energy that he could gather for those who desired life or death was too thin. It is barely enough for him to sustain his life and have a small to use for his attack. Most of the divine energy was used to alter and strengthen his current body.

During the possession, the memories of the original Allen were left and merged with his.

In his memory, he can see that this world is different from his. His world is one vast world while this world is tiny. 

At his peak, this world can be barely compared to the size of his City of Life. It did not even reach half of it. Moreover, though this world is small, there are many other worlds somewhere out there.

Allen wanted to know what happened to the world he knew. He wanted to find out the history. But right now, he first needs to survive. He was just too weak. He can die at any time.

According to the memories of his predecessor, this world is experiencing a big catastrophe. Demons were attacking them. Well, they call their enemies demons because they are made of dark black matter.

They had been fighting this war since the year 2505. It first started when a comet entered the earth's atmosphere and hit the earth's crust. 

Surprisingly, the comet did not cause much damage, but the shockwave is not something that they have seen before. It awakened the ability of humans. 

But those that awakened are not able to control their ability. At that time, many had died at the hands of their fellows. Then humans researched the cause, and it was found that it came from the soul.

The shockwave did not only awaken the humans. The beasts are also awakened. They are like humans that can use abilities. And not only that, but they also became more intelligent and started creating their society.

The shockwave from the comet is the same as the energy that the ability users use. Then, the experts made systems that control and increase spiritual energy in one's soul. 

But, they also discovered a terrifying thing, their fertility started decreasing, especially the powerful masters, and the growth of the human population increased slowly.

Then in 2700, the demons started appearing. They caused havoc on the earth, which further decreased the population of humans. Not only that, but some of the beasts also evolved and became demonic beasts. They are like demons but more of a beast.

In this war, humanity is barely fighting its enemy. There are more deaths than victories. Thus, the higher-ups decided that they would fight with all they got today and leave the future to the youngsters.

They had put all their hopes on the younger generation. And, to do that, they made a law that will force everyone to mandatory training for two years and another two years of service in the military. 

The training will start when they finish their junior high school. Usually, the youngsters finish their junior high school at the age of fifteen, which is also the year to awaken their ability.

Their ability will awaken on the exact date of their birthday. Allen had turned fifteen for a month already, but he had not awakened anything, while his 'best friend,' Rick, was awakened with a cheat-like ability.

Though Allen still did not know what spiritual energy was, he was curious about it, but his predecessor did not know anything about spiritual energy. After all, he had not awakened an ability nor had he tried to learn skills.. But he did not worry, he will have a chance to study it in the future.
