Ancient God in the Modern World

A week had passed.

Allen and the Divine Judo's journey had been smooth. As of now, they were on foot. Allen, Glenna, and old man Darwin are on the vanguard. They were the ones leading the team.

Allen would guide them to evade the group of beasts that they cannot defeat but they will fight head-on the ones that they can defeat.

Most of the beasts in the shrine are at the ranks of a general. Although some are at the lower rank, the rank of a colonel, they are yet to reach adulthood. They were born with the strength of an upper captain.

Then after a few weeks, they will reach the ranks of the colonel and so on.

The strength of the beasts is affiliated with the shrine, or so Allen thinks. Ever since they first existed in this world their bodies were already altered by the divine energy of the shrine.

In truth, as Allen looked at them, he was rather jealous. His body is yet to be altered by divine energy and his strength is yet to reach the ranks of a general despite being in this world for a, rather, long time now.

However, there is nothing he can do but wait for the number of his believers to increase.

Only then he could gather divine energy fast.

Speaking of the beast in the realm, Allen could not 'tame' them. Since their bodies are already altered by the divine energy of the shrine, they will only work for the Divine Spirit of the shrine.

However, for some reason, the Divine Spirit of the shrine seemed to be 'inactive'.

They have been here for a while but that particular Divine Spirit is still doing nothing. Furthermore, how could he let the dark puppets and such roam freely within the shrine?

Allen did not know the answer but he is willing to look for one and he will look for it no matter what.

"Allen, no offense but can I ask what is your real ability?" Glenna asked curiously.

She is curious about Allen's real ability.

She refused to believe that Allen's ability is an Isolation Barrier. She knew that, for some reason, Allen is hiding his ability.

"My ability is Isolation Barrier," Allen replied with a smile as he looked at the lady.

Meanwhile, the lady clearly did not believe him but she had no way to retort Allen. She knew that Allen is lying but she did not have proof and did not know how to say it.

"Well, my ability is life and death. My Isolation Barrier is just a part of my ability." Again, Allen said that with a smile.

At this point, Glenna was lost for words. She somewhat regretted that she asked Allen his 'real' ability. Not only did she get an answer but she is also confused.

'Hehehe!'

Meanwhile, Allen was laughing inwardly. He is enjoying making fun of her.

'What if I turn her into my follower?'

Allen had a bold thought which made him amused in himself.

'If I could make her my follower, then perhaps I'm the best. Hehe!'

Well, it is not easy to make Glenna his follower. The first was because she is at the ranks of a general.

The persons with power do not tend to kneel before other people. At the same time, would not recognize a god easily. Only those that were at the bottom of the world would do such a thing or the persons that had no hopes.

Well, that's what humans are. They tend to look for something that would give them hope. Then, the Divine Spirits would come and let them see their 'light'.

"You said, your ability is life and death. What do you mean by that?" Darwin asked.

Unlike Glenna, Allen could see that Darwin somewhat believed what he said.

"Eh? You believed it?" Allen asked as if he did not mean what he said just a while ago.

"Somewhat. but I don't entirely believe that your ability is simply an Isolation Barrier."

"Oh, I see. Do you really want to know?" Allen asked again.

This time he is no longer joking. He is wearing a serious expression.

Old man Darwin and Glenna are unsure if Allen is joking or not.

The atmosphere changed but, in the end, they replied, "yes."

Clearly, they are eager to know.

"What if I told you that I am a god?"

Indeed, Allen said that. As for his intention in doing it, nobody knew. As mentioned, the Divine Spirits do not follow the logic that humans knew.

"HAHAHA! Just a while ago, you were serious. Now, you're cracking a joke?" Glenna said while she was laughing.

Again, she did not believe what Allen said.

But contrary to her, old man Darwin is contemplating.

Ever since humanity had discovered spiritual energy many things had changed. The impossible is now likely to be possible.

The world is becoming stranger as time passes by.

"To be specific, I am a weakened god," Allen added.

Then Allen laughed and said again, "HAHAHA. Would you believe that?"

Seeing Allen laugh, they were unsure if Allen is serious but this did not fail to give them a topic to think about.

After Allen said that, he returned to his serious expression and said, "prepare yourself. Two beasts are heading this way."

"Can we evade them?" Darwin asked.

"Negative, their actions are hard to predict but we are in the general direction that they heading to," Allen replied.

"Then, we fight," Madman Leonard said.

But Allen did not agree.

"Negative, they are beyond the ranks of a general."

This time, the members of the Divine Judo went silent.

Although lots of them knew the existence of beyond the ranks of a general, it is still a legend for them but now they could see two of such fighting.

They are not sure if they are fortunate or unfortunate.

Well, perhaps they are unfortunate because the shockwave from the fight of the two beasts is enough to kill them.

Meanwhile, Allen is firmly seated atop stripes back.. He is prepared for the worst-case scenario.
