Ancient God in the Modern World

The lady treated Allen for lunch in one of the eateries near them. Although the food was not fancy, it was sumptuous. His body that is lacking divine energy really needs it as a supplement.

If he had enough divine energy, he would not need to eat. Divine energy supplements everything that he needs. But right now, he needs to get used to a life lacking divine energy.

Allen enjoyed the company of the lady. She kept praising him, saying that he must be very powerful, all he needed to do was point at the burly man to resolve her problem.

Red was somewhat embarrassed when she thought that he was powerful. He could not help but to comment inwardly, "girl, you have not seen just how powerful I am in my past life.

Allen looked at the lady. She is beautiful. Her perfect face and delicate skin are contrary to the ragged clothes that she wore. 

Allen was enlightened. It was no wonder the burly man tried to **** her. She is perfect in the eyes of a man. She had all the qualities that men seek. Of course, Allen was excluded. He is, after all, a divine spirit in his past life.

After the dinner, Allen bid her farewell and returned to his house. Although he did not earn money, he had a sumptuous meal. One meal is down, but he still needs to have a few more. But he let tomorrow worry for itself.

He laid on the bed and analyzed the memory that his predecessor left him.

The population on earth is only about three billion. They live in cities they call As Base. These bases are built to shelter humanity from beasts, demonic beasts, and demons. But despite their effort, many still fall.

They are unable to achieve their goal. Allen understood this. In his past life, he had a big city, and things happened all the time. All he could do was to spend some of his divine energy to console them.

As he lay on the bed, he was wide awake. He cannot sleep in this new world. He kept thinking about what had happened to his world.

But suddenly, he felt an influx of divine energy. It's from a group of people close to fifty. He can feel deep hatred from them. They desired death, his death.

"My meals are solved, hehe." Allen smiled. The divine energy that they are producing is thick for the current him. It solved his problem of seeking credits to buy food.

He wanted to kill them for they might cause unwanted trouble in the future, but on second thought, he might as well let them live and become a source of his divine energy.

With that in mind, he walked out of his apartment as fast as he could. He headed into one of the dark alleys in this city without even bothering to hide his tracks. And, just as he expected, after running for about ten minutes, he can already see them following him. They were wearing dark clothes and a hood to hide their identity.

He thought that they were rather cool with that outfit. They looked like the fanatics of the Divine Spirit of Slaughter.

He stopped and faced them, which made them glad. They did not expect that a scrawny kid would be so brave to face them in a dark alley.

They did not move and only stared at Allen with a death glare.

"Ahh! Yes," Allen could not help but to moan in satisfaction. The divine energy from their death intent was thick. His scrawny body is being nourished. And, little by little, he is getting fat.

"How brave of you, young man?"

A man in a black hood arrived. Allen speculated that he must be the Plague Master.

The others made way for him. Allen can see the reverence in the eyes of the others. He to felt jealous. If he had them, he might have already been stronger than he is now by many degrees.

Allen did not respond and only snapped his fingers and created a barrier that isolated them.

They were stunned. Allen seemed to be different from what Rick told them. But they did not care. If they could not kill the kind in front of them, they thought they would be no better than a piece of sh**.

"Interesting, it seems that you have awakened an ability. But, what is the use of this barrier?"

Allen grinned widely and pointed his index finger randomly to one of them. 

*Thud*

Then, the man collapsed on the floor, no longer breathing.

They did not understand what happened.

Then another man collapsed again as Allen pointed at him.

They were stunned again. They feared Allen's ability because it was too profound for them to understand. After all, humans feared the unknown.

Allen grinned. He loved the feeling of being supreme. It brings back memories from his past life.

"You are all puny in front of me. Your life is of no value," He said while looking at them in disdain.

"Become my follower or die," Allen said. He wanted them to become his source of divine energy, to become his followers, someone loyal to him.

The plague master did not know how to respond. He did not expect that the kid he despised had the power to squash him like an ant. He regretted his actions. He should not have recruited Rick. He might not have met this devil.

Allen glared at them fiercely. He is not joking about what he said. Although he did not have much divine energy to kill using the same way he did now, he has many ways to kill them slowly without using much divine energy.

The plague master looked at him. He saw Allen's confident expression. He does not want to believe that a scrawny brat had a way to kill him, but the truth has already been in front of him.

"W..we will become your followers," the plague master said with a trembling voice. He does not want to become a follower, but he has no choice. He does not want to die. He had many dreams that he wanted to fulfill. So, he thought that as long as he lived, he would have a chance to escape his claws.

His men felt relieved by what the Plague Master said. They were afraid that he might not want to become a follower. They know that his pride was quite high.

"Good," Allen said with a wide smile.
