Ancient God in the Modern World

Three days had passed. Allen and the others had already traversed one-third to the shrine's center.

The perimeter of the shrine is composed of residential buildings but as they move forwards, the view changes. Right now, Allen and the Divine Judo are already walking in a paradise for a day now but there are no signs that the paradise is about to end.

Although they are not walking at their fastest pace, they are fast.

Ever since they got out of the residential area, they brought out their cars. Of course, Allen has no car and thus, 'reluctantly' hit a ride with old man Darwin.

Although he had Stripes, he did not choose to tire the tiger. He will be needing him in case of danger.

Allen's strength did not remain constant, slowly, Allen was getting stronger. Aside from the divine energy from his followers, he could also absorb divine energy from the shrine, albeit small.

With that, Allen confirmed that, for some reason, the owner of the shrine is at a divine slumber or something.

Supposedly, the divine energy in the shrine could not be owned by the other Divine Spirits. It could only be owned by the owner of the shrine or those that are authorized by the owner of the shrine.

'Do I have any authority in this shrine?'

There are also cases if the Divine Spirit is at a divine slumber, the divine energy in the shrine could be utilized by the other Divine Spirits on the premise that the shrine itself is not hostile against.

'This doesn't make sense, the divine energy showed signs that the owner of the shrine is awake, why am I able to use absorb divine energy?'

'Perhaps he authorized me? But why?'

Allen was confused and no matter how he racks his brain out, he could not conclude anything.

Sigh!

Allen could only sigh and put his worries in the back of his mind.

Whoosh! Thud!

All of a sudden, a creature leaped from the trees and into the roof of the car from one of the cars of the Divine Judo.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The creature banged the roof of the car until it caved in. Thus, albeit reluctantly, the convoy stopped to deal with the creature.

Screech!

As they stopped, they used the emergency break of the cars and caused the creature to be thrown off the car's roof. But despite that, the creature did not seem to be injured or such.

Allen and the others looked at the creature with their scrutinizing eyes. They studied the creature.

This type of creature was new to them. It looked like a monkey but it stood and walk with its two legs. Moreover, its size is not fit to be called a monkey. It should be called a gorilla, instead. But, then again, it has four arms and has two short horns on its forehead. Its look was menacing and scary.

Huff! Huff! Huff!

Red and the others knew that the beast is territorial and they were in its territory.

As Allen looked at the creature, he could see that it has a strength stronger than a general but he is not worried because there are plenty of generals on their side. It could be said that all of them are at the ranks of a general. Well, Allen can be considered as general since he had tamed a general-ranked beast, Stripes.

Grrr!

The Four-Armed Gorilla looked angry and was about to attack them.

Roar!

But on the next second, it roared instead, which called its companions.

Rustle!

A rustling sound could of the tree branches as many more Four-Armed Gorillas appeared and joined the fray.

They surrounded them and, just like their leader, they stared at them with menacing looks.

'It seemed that the Four-Armed Gorilla in front of them is the leader. While the ones that just came are its part of its pack.'

Indeed, the Four-Armed Gorillas in front of them is the leader.

Clearly, the ones that just came are a bit smaller and weaker. Well, this is no surprise, actually. Most of the beasts that belonged to the family of a monkey live in groups and it was led by the most powerful ones. Only the strong rules the pack. The weak will be only followers.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Step by step, the Four-Armed Gorilla King strode towards them and attacked them.

Meanwhile, Allen and the others know that they are no match with the group of Four-Armed Gorillas.

Almost each of them is in the ranks of a general.

Each of them felt a headache as to how are they going to deal with the group of oversized monkeys.

"Buy me a few seconds," Allen said as he had decided to act.

Though weak, he is still divine. Of course, he could escape with Stripes but considering the dangers the shrine possesses, he had no choice but to escape with them.

Thus, without further ado, he gathered his divine energy and amplified his body. In the process, his back sprouted a pair of wings akin to an angel's. At the same time, his aura was raised at a great height resulting in him becoming intimidating.

All eyes in the surrounding focused on him.

The members of the Divine Judo looked at him in astonishment while the group of the Four-Armed Gorillas was in fear.

Right now, Allen's strength is beyond the ranks of a general.

Meanwhile, Allen glared back at the group of Four-Armed Gorillas. Then, he opened his wings and gently flapped them as he floated in the air.

After that, a suction force could be felt in the surroundings as all elemental energies were being disrupted and sucked into Allen's wings.

Then, he channeled those energies and incorporated them into his body.

Whoosh!

Allen flapped his wings and flew upwards. He, then, did a series of hand seals and pointed to the group of Four-Armed Gorillas.

No matter how strong they are, they were frightened and started to flee. But their actions are futile. No matter how fast they are, Allen's attack was faster.

The Four-Armed Gorilla King looked at his subordinates as they dropped dead. He could not understand how they died.

In just a few moments, the Four-Armed Gorilla King witnessed all his subordinates die in front of him but he was powerless to impede their death.

This time, he could no longer feel hatred. All he could feel is fear towards Allen.

Then on the next second, after Allen finished all the subordinate Four-Armed Gorillas, Allen looked at the remaining one as he is not planning to let it off.
