Ancient God in the Modern World

On the Mare forest, while Allen and the Mares are clashing, the Ratatoskr stealthily left.

After passing through, he arrived at a valley with lush forest and good vegetation.

The forest looked like a garden. And, indeed, this is akin to a garden.

This place is an elven forest.

The elves are known to be creatures of nature. Wherever they are, nature will thrive with their care. Trees would grow, flowers will bloom. The bird will sing and many more.

However, at this moment, the elven forest is not tightly guarded. Most of the time, the Ratatoskr would have to be super sneaky.

But now, he was walking in the broad daylight without caring if he will be caught. At the same time, a grin was also plastered on his face as he was scheming something.

It is as if schemes had been part of his existence.

Then, all of a sudden, he felt the divine energy in the surrounding fluctuate.

At this moment, he knew that Allen had finally caught up.

Of course, he knew that Allen could defeat the Mares. However, he did not expect that he would immediately announce his arrival.

Thus, he began pacing and headed to the center of the elven forest.

Meanwhile, Allen is flying in the air. With every flap of his wings, the faint divine energy in the surrounding would surge into him to support his flight.

The further he goes; he was astounded as he saw a tree blotting the sky. However, he was not oblivious of the tree.

That tree is the most sacred being for the elves.

He closed his eyes as he reminisces the era where he came from.

However, in the next moment, disappointment could be seen on his face as he realized that the Tree of Life in the elven forest is just a branch of the real Tree of Life in his era.

In his era, the Divine Spirit of Life and Death always had a connection with each other.

Because of the life part of Allen's authority, he is naturally close to the elves. At the same time, he is also a patron god of the elves and has a position in the elven goddess council.

Meanwhile, Allen did not forget his main goal for coming here. However, he did not want to offend his ally a long time ago. Thus, he halted mid-air and made a slight bow.

"My friend, it has been a long time. What happened to you?" Allen said.

Then, an aged voice replied.

"Life and Death, is that you?"

Hearing how the Tree of Life called him, his tears nearly fell.

Back at the time immemorial, that is how the Tree of Life called him. At that time, they were still in their prime. The world is in its grandest state. All lives thrive. Unlike now, chaos is everywhere.

"Indeed, it is me," Allen replied.

"Finally, someone I know. unfortunately, the Moon Goddess could no longer join us. At the same time, I also wish, I am at my prime."

Allen could feel the sorrow in the voice of the Tree of Life.

Meanwhile, the Ratatoskr shivered as he heard the Tree of Life reply to Allen. Although it was not divine like the both of them, he is a special creature. He had abilities that help in with his goals.

Initially, he wanted to scheme to make Allen and the Tree of Life fight. However, things did not end as he wanted.

Who would have thought that Allen is acquainted with the Tree of Life?

At this moment, no matter how scheming the Ratatoskr is, he would surely be dead.

And, indeed, there is no need for Allen to ask for permission to kill the Ratatoskr. The Tree of Life had already moved its root.

Meanwhile, in the elven forest, there lies the elven kingdom. It is not too far and not too close to the Tree of Life.

The throne hall of the palace has a good view of the Tree of Life. From within the elven queen and her subordinates is spectating as a 'four-winged man' approaches the elven forest.

They are expecting that the Tree of Life will kill Allen. However, a few more moments, Allen, instead of being killed, flew and sat on the branch of the Tree of Life, instead.

However, things did not end there.

Clip, clop, clip, clop???

An elven knight entered the throne hall, said his respect, and reported to the queen.

"My queen, the Tree of Life caught the Ratatoskr."

Now, this is the most interesting thing that had happened

The Ratatoskr had been a pesky pest for a long time now. Not only the current Ratatoskr but also its ancestor.

The Tree of Life had been disregarding its existence for a while until just now. Initially, they thought that it was because of its pride; however, at this time, it might not be so.

Then, all of a sudden, another report was delivered by a soldier.

"Your majesty, a human is found."

The report stunned the queen. At the same time, she was enraged.

"Viking?" she asked.

"I don't think so, my queen."

"What do you mean?"

Thus, the knight explained what he saw.

Indeed, the human that the knight was referring to is none other than General Bren.

Amidst the elven forest, General Bren was being chased by the elven soldiers.

Most of his pursuers are at the ranks of a lower colonel; however, he could feel an aura of an admiral following him.

"Bren, stand down."

As he was running, he suddenly halted as he heard Allen's voice.

He, then, lifted his hands upward indicating that he surrenders.

At this moment, the admiral that was following him appeared.

"How daring of you to come into this place despite not an elf," the admiral sneered. Then, asked, "Why are you here?"

However, he did not know that Bren would not come here without the instruction of his lord.

"I am with the Divine Spirit of Life and Death."

Bren's reply made the man suspicious. The current Asgard did not have a Divine Spirit of Life and Death; however, he remembered the four-winged man who approached the Tree of Life.

"Is 'he' the Divine Spirit of Life and Death?"
