Ancient God in the Modern World

Chapter 34 - C34 Angel

"This was the divine mark of my commander before I went into a divine slumber."

"His faithfulness preserved his soul. And, as a reward, I am planning to revive him as my angel," Allen said with a nostalgic voice as memories of how his commander encouraged his soldiers not to be weary before his divine slumber.

At that time, everyone knew that he had no way to win the battle against eight Divine Spirits with the same strength as him. But despite that, his commander remained faithful.

He did not care about the outcome of his faithfulness. All he wanted was to serve his Lord better until his last breath.

But what he did not expect is his faithfulness preserved his soul and meet all the conditions to be revived as an angel.

The requirement to revive an angel was too high. The first is, the follower should have a seed of faithfulness that had fully sprouted and grown.

Then, they must die for their Lord without regret. And lastly, the Divine Spirit will use plenty of divine energy to revive the follower to become an angel.

If one of the three is not met, then, they can forget about an angel.

During Allen's peak, he did not have an angel, or rather he did not try to revive an angel.

The existence of an angel will threaten the other divine spirits and will make them band against him. But unbeknownst to him at that time, even if he did not revive an angel, they would still band against him and send him to his divine slumber.

The other divine spirits were blinded by his brilliance and wanted to end it.

When Elioenai and the others heard what Allen said, their eyes lit up and their face was painted with fervent expression as they too wanted to be revived as an angel.

They were not ignorant of angels. Although there are no angels in this era, there are records about them in the past era that the military had recovered.

These records are the novels and comics of the past. And, also the bible and some documentaries.

But ever since humans awakened an ability, the existence of angels was no longer recognized. They were considered fiction.

Allen saw the expression of his three bearers and said with a smile, "you, too, can be revived as angels if you remain faithful."

Allen, then, stood and went back to his room.



"I was thinking," Elioenai said all of a sudden.

After Allen left, Elioenai, Drew, and Thomas stayed behind.

"The gang that we made was too small for our Lord," he continued.

The others nodded as they, too, thought that the gang was too small to contain their Lord's greatness.

"I'm planning to enter the frontline ahead of time."

Drew and Thomas went silent while looking at him. It was not easy to decide on entering the frontlines.

Most trainees, if possible, will delay entering the frontline. Even those that had finished their military service would not like to return.

The frontline was a cruel place. Death is eminent at all directions.

"Arena," Thomas said, which attracted the attention of the other two.

"The arena was filled with desires of life and death."

Elioenai's eyes lit up as he understood what Thomas meant.

They could use the arena for the generation of Allen's divine energy. Although Allen did not tell them, they knew that he lacked divine energy.

With that in mind, they nodded at each other.

"Do you want to come or I'll go on my own?" Thomas inquired.

"It would be faster if you go on your own," Elioenai replied.

After which, Thomas jumped into Drew's shadow and sank.

After three hours of continuous jumping from shadow to shadow, Thomas reached the Arena in Base 355. And appeared in the shadow of a tree on the opposite side of Arena's building.

Thomas felt an influx of divine energy into the divine mark. He was delighted as it seemed that his travel had not gone to waste.

He did not hesitate and paid an entrance fee of 50C (credits).

The Arena was located in an underground of a dilapidated building.

Despite the appearance of the building, the arena was finely built.

Thomas speculated that it could withstand a few attacks from a general.

This arena was famous as a life and death arena. Once you enter the ring, you can't leave unless you're the only one remaining. You must first kill your enemy.

The Military has been prohibiting this kind of arena, but the desires of the crowd and the fighters are unstoppable.

When he was inside, he could feel a thicker influx of divine energy, which delighted him even more.

"My Lord, the Divine Spirit of Life and Death, please cast Your eye onto me," Thomas prayed with fervent expression and delight.

He stayed in the arena and continued to watch.

Thomas left after an hour or so.



Meanwhile, Plague Priest was doing calculations on how the Plague River Church would spend the credits that they had collected. After allocating allowances and buying weapons for the members of the church, there were still plenty left.

Plague wanted to spend every credit in a desirable way for their Lord.

With that in mind, he surfed the internet for construction companies as he wanted to make their base grand.

But after a while, he found nothing desirable. Thus, he called Dexter.

"Dexter, can you look for someone to renovate the church?"

"I know someone but it will be hard to convince her," Dexter answered.

Plague kept quiet as he heard Dexter tying on the other end of the line.

Then, after a while, Dexter spoke again, "Priest, I've already booked an appointment. It's up to you to convince him."

Plague nodded and ended the call.

Then, he looked at the calendar on his watch and saw an event three days from now in an expensive restaurant not too far away from them.

It was the event that Dexter set.
