Ancient God in the Modern World

"Ladies and Gentlemen. I would like to welcome you to Asgard. Or rather, to its entrance," Rose said as they arrived.

Before arriving here, Allen and the others traveled for a week on a Sonic Hovercraft, which is the fastest Hovercraft that humans had invented. It could fly ten times the speed of sound but it is not used as they pleased.

Along with its extravagant speed, its energy consumption is also extravagant. Most of the time, it is only used during an emergency or in times as this. Further than that, it would be stored in the warehouse to accumulate dust.

"What you are seeing below is Asgard's entrance. The scientist of the Warbringer Auction House had already begun their research but they are only able to explore the vicinity," Rose continued.

"For some reason, there seemed to be an extraordinary pressure that could kill everyone below the ranks of a colonel. In fact, even colonels could barely withstand the pressure."

As Rose said the last sentence, he looked at Allen. It was not a secret that Allen is only at the ranks of a colonel, or so as Allen said when he filled up his details.

Meanwhile, old man Darwin scoffed because he knew Allen's strength.

Barely a couple of weeks ago, he saw how Allen fought and he was sure that Allen's strength surpassed that of a colonel. He even doubts that Allen is already a general but his ability is not for combat and the proof of this is the General-ranked beast that was laying adjacent on his feet, Stripes.

Not only old man Darwin, everyone else thought this way, but since Allen said it, they did not retort in order to avoid misunderstandings before they reach their destination.

After hovering for a while, the Sonic Hovercraft began descending and stopped when it reached a certain altitude.

After which, a mechanical sound could be heard as the back door of the Sonic Hovercraft opened.

Rose, then, walked towards the door and spoke, "everyone, I forgot to tell you. The Sonic Hovercraft cannot descend to the ground because it would be damaged by the pressure."

She then smiled and continued, "thus, we have to jump. Don't worry, it was merely a thousand feet above the ground. I'm sure we all could survive it."

She paused for a while.

"In case that you cannot withstand, be at ease, at least you died at Asgard's entrance."

After saying what she has to say, Rose jumped.

"Hoho, what a brave girl," old man Darwin commented beside Allen. Then, he stood and also followed.

Then, one by one, all of the guests boarding the Sonic Hovercraft jumped.

General Bren activated his ability and covered himself in a fire. After which, a series of explosions could be heard as he propelled himself in the air.

Meanwhile, General Sean took out his flute and began playing a melody that seemed to penetrate the depths of one's soul. Then, using the power of music he descended.

All of the guests used their abilities to descend one by one but the members of the Warbringer Auction house seemed to be prepared. Each one of them has a jet pack, including Rose.

On Allen's turn, he rode Stripes. Then, Stripes glowed in white light and started running in the air as if it was on the ground.

Everyone that saw Stripes do it is shocked. A tiger that could run in the air is not yet heard. But on closer look, they had discovered that Stripes seemed to exude an aura akin to Allen's Divine Power.

They deduced that Allen must be using his ability to help Striped do it. But, still, it cannot be denied that they were indeed shocked.

*Thud*

With a soft thud, Allen landed on the ground safely while some are injured. But, their injury is superficial. They coated their bodies with spiritual energy as protection.

Meanwhile, as they landed, they were assaulted by a foreign Divine Energy. But the Divine Energy did not have an intention to hurt them. But despite this, the pressure is enough to make them feel chills.

Of course, Allen and Stripes are excluded. After all, Allen is a Divine Spirit while Stripes is already being altered by Divine Energy.

The foreign Divine Energy attempted to enter Allen's body but he did not let it do as it pleases. He sealed his body.

Allen did not trust this Divine Energy. If someone is manipulating this Divine Energy, he will be done for. Surely, he would not be able to fight back, considering the density of the foreign Divine Energy.

On the other hand, Allen silently hoped for this Divine Energy not to have a master. But on second thought, it is illogical for a Divine Energy as dense as this to be generated without a Divine Spirit.

"Everyone, please recover for a while. We will be exploring this place together."

After a while, Rose's voice sounded.

Allen did not mind what Rose said because he did not need to recover. After all, he did not have an injury. He landed safe and sound along with Stripes.

He looked around and noticed that the source of the Foreign Divine Energy is a gigantic double door a few hundred meters away from them.

Allen's eyes lit up as he noticed a mark engraved on the door. But it seemed to be damaged. Most of the marks are glowing in golden light, while some are not.

Meanwhile, somewhere within the group, the members of the dark coalition are staring at Allen with their piercing eyes filled with hate. He wanted to get close to Allen, but the pressure was stopping him from doing so.

He could barely move. Moreover, his spiritual energy seemed to be heavy because of the pressure.

"Is that the kid?" A man asked.

"He is."

Another one replied as if they knew Allen.

Well, they, indeed, knew him. Before Sly Shadow died, he made a record regarding the job he received from Genera Flaviens.

At the same time, he also jotted down Allen's oddity.

"Hmm, interesting. He is not a normal kid. He did not seem to be affected by the pressure."

"Now that you mention it, it was indeed as you say. Moreover, the aura that he exudes is akin to this aura."

"It does not matter, as long as we complete our mission. We could try and kill him after."

*Sigh*

"This mission should have been easier if that brat did not kill Melos and Sly Shadow."

"Are you sure that they are dead?"

"Dominik, what do you think, why would he spare them?"

"You are indeed right. But, there is nothing we could do."

Contrary to what he thought, Melos is still not dead. Allen kept Melos Alive. Melos was sleeping in Thomas' shadowy space peacefully.

He is yet to die but he will surely die later. Or perhaps, he would rather die.

*Whooosh!*

After staying for a while, Allen and his group heard a whooshing sound. They looked up and saw another Sonic Hovercraft of the Warbringer Auction House.

"Ladies and gents, these are the winners from another branch of the Warbringer Auction House," Rose briefly explained.

Just like them, one by one, the guests from the newly arrived Sonic Hovercraft jumped and landed with a thud.

They had the same number as Allen's group. Ten from the Warbringer Auction House and twenty slots for the winners.

In Allen's group, there was ten military personnel, two of which are generals from Base 300 while the others are colonels.

Then, the King's Manor has five, the Dark Coalition has three people, and, lastly, Allen and the old man, Darwin.

Meanwhile, on the other group, ten were from The Divine Judo. Then, five were from the Military, three from the Dark Coalition, and two from the King's Manor.

In total, they consist of sixty people, thirty from each group.
