Ancient God in the Modern World

"Become my follower or die," Allen said

The Plague Master thought for a while. Then, "w..we will become your follower," the plague master said with a trembling voice.

He waved his hand and created a mark as big as a thumb using his divine energy. Then, he shot it towards the Plague Master.

That is a divine mark. It was supposed to be given to the people that he trusts, but right now, it does not matter. Allen is taking a risk. This investment might not end up as he wanted.

The use of a divine mark is to let the divine spirit connect to its follower. And also to gather divine energy.

A divine spirit cannot gather all the divine energies at all places. They can only gather on their range. For example, many people desire life and death in the world, but he cannot gather divine energy from them since they were not in his range.

His range of gathering becomes more extensive as he becomes stronger.

The Plague Master's expression became aghast when Allen gave him his mark. He was not able to resist it in any way. Though Allen is weak right now, he is still stronger than them.

The difference between divine energy and spiritual energy was too vast. Humans still have not discovered much regarding spiritual energy. All they know is it is necessary if they have an ability.

"That is my mark," Allen said when he saw the Plague master's expression.

"With that mark, I will be able to share my power to you when necessary."

They were bewildered by what they heard. Allen's power was overkill. They thought that they thought also do what Allen just did, to kill someone he points to. But little did he know, Allen was only able to do it because of the divine energy that they gave him.

"Don't think too much. At most, it can increase your fighting prowess to a certain degree."

Allen cut their high expectation. As he had said, the divine mark was just too weak for it to let them do what he just did.

"My mark on you is still weak. Maybe if it grows, you can do what I did." He said with a smile. He wants them to be curious so that they will fall into his palms.

"It grows with your desires of death," he said.

They were all stunned. They did not expect that such a thing would exist. But it matters not, they were glad, and even though it was a piece of cake since it was their work. Killing is what they do for a living.

Allen snapped his fingers and released a wave of divine energy that wiped them of their memory, except the Plague master. He did only plan to have the Plague Master his follower and did not care about the rest. He cannot see any more improvement from them.

The Plague Master was confused. He is not sure what he should do. He doesn't know if he should get angry or not.

When Allen saw his expression, he shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I simply wiped them their memory."

Of course, Allen would not kill the followers Plague Master. If he did that, the divine mark would not grow. The Plague Master would never truly be his follower. There will be something in his heart that will stop the Plague Master from dedicating himself to Allen as a follower.

The Plague Master was surprised. He did not expect that Allen could do such a thing. At this point, he now admired Allen from the depths of his heart.

Also, at this point, Allen now had a divine energy 'generator.'

The divine mark will store the divine energy that Allen can't gather and use to strengthen itself. As the container, the Plague Master can also use the divine energy that the mark stores. But, unlike Allen, there is a limit on how much he can use. Plus, since his body is not altered with divine energy, the divine energy can at most be used to augment his body. Any more than that will corrode his flesh.

After doing that, Allen went back to his apartment in a great mood. He was happy as he got his first follower.

Though they are not strong, they are crucial for his growth. They were his source of power. Though he is supreme in his past life, he knows that he should treat his followers as his family. This way, he can gain more followers and more divine energy.

In truth, there are various items that can gather and store divine energy, but they were too complicated, and Allen had forgotten about them. When the time comes, he will remember them again when he already has enough divine energy. But as to when is that time, who knows?

A week had passed, and the graduation day had come. The only thing that he did was to familiarize himself with this world. The world in his past life was too different. The technologies alone are different from his past. Plus, when it comes to the use of energy, this world is nothing.

He wanted to familiarize himself with the things in the present and walk through the future with the knowledge of the past. This way, he can reign supreme in this world. Nothing can block his path.

During the past week, the police came to investigate Rick's death, but they did not do anything to Allen. They even said, "good job." He was stunned at first, but after surfing the internet for a reason. He found out that the police will not care regarding the people that became part of the faction, for the faction itself would be the one to uphold their justice.

The government gives this privilege to them because they do not want the factions to oppose them. There were too many factions, and the government won't be able to control them all at will. As long as the faction did not go beyond their line, the government won't mind them.
