Ancient God in the Modern World

Two sets of footsteps are heading towards Allen and the members of the Divine Judo's location.

THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD!

Loud thuds could be heard as their feet touch the ground.

The trees in the jungle are all destroyed by the rampage of the two creatures.

One of the two creatures is a humanoid creature that resembles a giant. It is about ten meters tall while the other is an oversized black wolf.

As Allen and the others watch the two fighting from afar, they could feel the temperature dropping. It was as if winter had arrived.

The trees along with the ground were frozen. A layer of ice surrounding them could be seen.

As they move closer, the members of the Divine Judo felt chill on their skins coupled with the pressure from the shrine itself, they felt as if they were about to fall.

However, at this moment, Allen noticed their hardship, using his authority to give them the warmth of life from the Divine Spirit of Life and Death which made them rather comfortable.

The chills that they were feeling disappeared while the pressure from the shrine is somewhat relieved to a certain degree.

"We need to move," Allen said while the others are entranced by the greatness of the two rampaging creatures.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

A series of bangs could be heard as their bodies collide.

Frosts are seen in the body of the oversized wolf while bite marks and wounds made by sharp claws make the body of the humanoid creature bleed with blue blood.

"Jotnar and Fenrir," Glenna uttered to herself before dashing away as Allen had said.

Not only her, but the others also started moving upon noticing that Allen had already gone ahead of them. The warmth that Allen is exuding had gone faint. And thus, they have to follow, or else their chances of survival will be slim.

Indeed, the two creatures are from the Norse pantheon of the past era. The former is Jotnar while the latter is one of Fenrir's many descendants.

The Jotnar has an impure bloodline from the real Jotnar back in the time and likewise for the oversized wolf.

The Jotnar that is fighting Fenrir's descendant is also known as the frost giant. As the name suggests, it has the innate ability to manipulate the frost element.

It can do, basically, everything related to ice. It can create a popsicle, an ice cream, and many more. But most of all, it can freeze its opponent to death.

Still, despite having an impure bloodline, they possess great prowess that humans envy.

Meanwhile, as they were running away, Allen is secretly observing the two creatures. He even tried to bring one of his Eyes of the Spirit near the creature however, before it can go near them, it was negated.

Yes, negated, which means that there is a collision of demonic energy and divine energy.

Indeed, as Allen focused his eyes on the two creatures, he could not see nor feel the dense divine energy of this shrine as if there is a ten-meter void of divine and demonic energy between the bodies of the Jotnar and the 'young' Fenrir and the surroundings.

When Allen realized it, he began to have a bad feeling.

His heart is thumping fast and loud while his divine instinct is throbbing.

The divine instinct of a Divine Spirit would only throb hard, just like now, if there is a big threat to the Divine Spirit.

It is akin to the premonition of the human race. Well, basically, they are the same, but the divine instinct is of a larger scale.

With that, Allen urged Stripes to run faster.

Meanwhile, the members of the Divine Judo also did the same but in a different direction. Allen is heading to the center while they are heading to the residential area of the shrine.

It is apparent that they had decided to leave but Allen smirked at their idea to leave.

As a Divine Spirit that had created many shrines in the past, he knew that it is easier to enter a shrine than to exit it.

The only way to forcibly exit the shrine is to destroy it. However, if we are talking about this shrine, it is better said than be done.

From the dense divine energy alone, Allen knew that the subspace containing it is sturdy beyond measure.

Even if one had an innate ability to manipulate the space, one would not be able to manipulate the space within the shrine.

Meanwhile, the two creatures continued to fight. Their injuries became more severe and the demonic energies within their body are becoming thinner at every moment due to the negation of opposite energies.

It was unknown why they were both exposed to the dense divine energy and why are they both fighting but as of now, Allen did not care as he was on Stripes' back speeding towards the center of the shrine.

Along with him, many creatures of the shrine are also heading in the same direction as him.

At first, it was only Allen but after a few moments, Allen felt the earth tremble as all the beasts in the jungle started heading towards the center.

Various beasts are running along with him and Stripes. Slow beasts, moderate-speed beasts, and speedy beasts.

Allen could somehow predict the movement of the former two while he cannot predict the latter two.

When I say fast, they were not simply fast, they were fast, fast-fast. Even Stripes could not match their speed. While the moderate-speed beast had a speed comparable to Stripes while the slow beasts, well they were slow.

The sight of these beasts is akin to the migration of beasts in Africa. Furthermore, these beasts mostly have the ranks of a general.

Their stampede caused the earth to tremble.

With the large number of beasts running along with Stripes, Allen is bound to be knocked off Stripes' back.

Allen knew it but he is helpless as his pitiful mortal body is weak. If he gets down from Stripes' back, he would surely become a meat paste.

Then, all of a sudden, a speedy beast akin to a shadow leaping in the backs of the rampaging beasts headed towards Allen's direction.

Allen noticed it and prepared himself. However, although he did so, the beast arrived in front of him before he had anticipated it.. The beast, then, knocked him off Stripes' back as it leaped on it.
