Ancient God in the Modern World

A few minutes after General Bren and General Flaviens talked, the headquarters is in chaos.

The walls are no more walls and smoke is rising through the sky. But things did not end there, the chaos spread to the city.

The prosperous Base 300 is no longer the same as it once was. It was badly damaged. At the same time, the demonic beasts are everywhere.

Although the military are trying to minimize the damage, they were not efficient. Their coordination is not good at this moment.

At the same time, the powerhouses in Base 300 do not trust them. After all, who else would trust them knowing that it was their two generals who are the ones that caused all these.

The generals in the base tried to join but because of the amplification of energies, their strength is boosted to the ranks of an admiral.

General Bren could use the divine energies in the Divine Mark as he liked.

Knowing his opponent is a demon, Allen granted him the authority. However, he could only use the divine energy within the mark.

"Flaviens, how dare you betray humanity!"

"Hahaha! General Bren, speak as if you didn't." Flaviens' reply silenced General Bren.

"The Divine Spirits are not humans. They only care about you because you are his followers. Think, would he let you use his authority if you're not his follower?"

Flaviens tried to affect General Bren's mind. However, he could not easily be swayed.

"My noble Lord is not like that. He will help those that are in need. He will be the light in the depths of the night, the shade under the shining sun."

With that said, General Bren clasped his hand while running and began to pray.

"My Lord, the Divine Spirit of Life and Death, help me punish the one who slanders your holy name."

After the prayer, tiny specks of light shone in the sky akin to fireflies and followed General Bren. Then, they gathered and surrounded him.

If one looked from afar, he would be like a man that was shining in a golden hue.

This seemingly long act happened in a blink of an eye.

Then in the next moment, as General Bren formed a fireball for an attack, his fireball is ten times more concentrated than before. At the same time, it was also a lot more forceful.

Boom!

As he sent the fireball flying, a loud explosion could be heard.

It made the dust fly and the trees sway. However, Flaviens is not hit. He was not a demon for nothing.

Knowing that the fireball would decapitate him, he chose to increase his usage of demonic energy to boost his speed.

Indeed, in the next moment, their distance from each other widened.

But Flaviens is not the only one who can have a boost.

General Bren's golden hue shone more piercingly. He became akin to a small sun in the earth.

However, things did not end there, with a thought, an array formed behind him.

The array is not too much of a cheat; however, it boosted General Bren's senses by a factor of five.

With these, General Bren is able to use the surroundings to his advantage.

Bit by bit, he is getting closer to Flaviens.

Then in the next second, Flaviens is already within his reach. But, Flaviens is not a vegetarian.

As General Bren caught Flaviens with his fiery fist, Black smoke flew out his body.

"Hahaha, bastard, you cannot kill me," the shadow exclaimed in delight.

Then formed a figure as it flew.

"A mere follower dare dream of killing me."

The arrogance of the smoke man is too high. However, General Bren knew that its arrogance should not be baseless.

He was confused. However, he did not falter.

"Hahahaha!"

As he did a set of hand seals, Flaviens, the smoke, was giggling as he floats in the air. He seemed to be unaware that General Bren is going to attack him.

Then suddenly, as General Bren is about to finish his hand seals, the earth a few tens of meters ahead of him cracked and a Black pillar rose from within.

After that, all of General Bren's preparations are for naught. The pillar burst demonic energies into the surrounding.

The golden hue on General Bren's body was extinguished. At the same time, all the divine energy that he was gather was negated and disappeared.

"Shit!"

General Bren cursed. However, there is nothing that he can do.

"Hahaha! You did not expect this twist, eh?"

The smoky Flaviens is delighted.

It seemed that he did not come here unprepared.

"So, you had a plan all along?"

General Bren asked. However, he was completely calm. Not a shred of fear is plastered on his face.

"Hahaha! Did your brain was broken when you surrendered yourself to the Divine Spirit?" smoky Flaviens taunted General Bren.

Then, he added, "no matter how strong you become, you would always be a human. A human with low intelligence. A human whom we could toy around as we please."

With that, General Bren started to be swayed. However, he managed to calm his mind. After that, he offered a prayer.

But, because of the negation of energies, his prayer did not reach Allen.

"Hahaha! That's useless. You will remain here forever."

Indeed, if General Bren could not leave this place, there is a big possibility that he would indeed, remain in this place forever.

"Accept your fate," Flaviens said. Then, he pointed towards General Bren.

After that the dark pillar that was embedded in the ground rose. Its symbols shone with scarlet light.

With that, the divine energy within the Divine Mark began to be depleted at a rapid pace.

It was akin to a bottle of water with a leakage. The only difference is that the divine energy is not leaking but rather, it was dissipating.

Yes, the dark pillar is a dark saint weapon. It is specifically used to dissipate divine energy.

It has the same concept as the negation of energies but it consumes lesser demonic divine energy to dissipate divine energy.
