Ancient God in the Modern World - Chapter 73

General Bren and General Sean continued to push forward and after sustaining lots of injuries, they had, finally, escaped the beasts.

But what lays ahead of them is still unknown. With their injuries and depleted spiritual energy, they were akin to flies for the beasts in this forest.

Thus, with no more intention to fight, both of them had decided to stay atop a tree for the night. It might not be a good choice but as of now, they had to endure.

The both of them took a cloaking device from their pocket dimensions and activated it to hide.

The cloaking device is capable of hiding their scent and is also capable of camouflaging them. The cloaking device is reinforced with semi-spiritual energy generated using electricity.

This is one of the ingenious creations of humanity.

It combines the logic of weapons and technology. Together, they have created a device more advanced than what we know today.

However, these devices are not created in a blink of an eye. It was created amidst the crisis that humanity is facing.

The rich brain cells of human scientists are pressured close to death to produce such a thing.

Meanwhile, the night passed and General Bren and General Sean are partially recovered.

However, although they have partially recovered, not a bit of joy is plastered on their faces. Instead, they were very serious.

Their thoughts at this time are focused on the loss of the military that they have caused.

Fortunately, they have not brought the outstanding figures of the younger generation. If they did, they would be in greater difficulty than they are now. They would be responsible for the ones that they brought which would mean that they have a constriction that would forbid them from using their full power.

“Ugh!”

The two generals groaned as they tried to move their injured bodies. Although they did not want to move, they have to find a safer location to recover.

Where they were in, is rather dangerous. The beats could devour them if they were seen. Moreover, they cannot constantly use their cloaking devices because although it was advanced, it uses power and there is a limit on how long they could be used.

At the same time, there is a limit on how much and how well could they be used.

Thus, with that in mind, both of them forced themselves to look for a cave.

After looking for a while, both of them found a cave not far from them. They inspected the cave for a short while and confirmed that the cave is safe; only then did they go inside.

They deployed their surveillance devices and began laying inside the cave comfortably.

After which they started to recover.

…

Meanwhile, Allen woke up from his injuries the next day.

He regained his consciousness but he was still too weak.

His divine energy is barely recovered. Thus, he connected to his shrine and the Divine Marks of his bearers without regarding the cost of the link.

Indeed, after a while, Darwin exclaimed inwardly as he had noticed Allen recovering in an instant.

Now, he truly feared what Allen had.

The quick healing and the strong burst of energy are a nightmare for him. Fortunately, they were not enemies. If they did, old man Darwin would not dare stay out of the sun for even a second.

“How are you feeling, boy?” old man Darwin asked Allen after he ‘returned to his peak’ in an instant.

The divine energy that he collected from his shrines and his bearers is enough for him to return to his peak in an instant.

As for the reason for this, as long as his soul is not injured, Allen would return to his peak if he collected enough divine energy.

The Divine Spirits all did so. They do not follow common logic. They have their own logic to follow and cannot be judged by the logic that humans knew.

“I’m fine,” Allen replied as he strokes Stripes’ head like a domestic cat.

Darwin, seeing it, is still unused to the scene of a tiger acting like a domestic cat.

Purr! Purr!

Worse, Stripes even made a purring sound.

At this point, he is indeed the cat that everybody knew except that it was oversized.

“That’s good then. We can speed up our expedition.”

It was unknown when did Kane found his voice after being flabbergasted by Stripes’ purring.

“Yes, we should speed up. However, are you sure that we’re still going?” Allen said.

Hearing what Allen said, old man, Darwin went silent. He is not sure if they should retreat because if they did so they would’ve come here for nothing.

The money that was used should’ve gone to waste.

“I’m not sure. I think we’ll decide later,” old man Darwin replied.

Meanwhile, Allen responded with a nod.

Then, he reached his hand outside the window of the hovercar and poured his divine energy which condensed into Eyes of the Spirit and flew at a high speed to scout ahead of them.

Allen learned his lesson. He could have done this but he had reservations regarding his status as a Divine Spirit. He knew that he is still not strong enough to display his wonders in the outside world.

If human that does not believe in him are threatened by his prowess, they might band against him and eliminate him.

He understood that everybody fears the unknown. It has always been and will always be whether in the past or the present. And of course, it will also be in the future.

With these, Allen saw a better view of the Asgardian Realm.

Still, the number of the eyes of spirits that he released is not enough for him to see the whole realm.

However, it was enough for him to scout ahead and evade danger.

Indeed, as they push forward, they did not meet any beast.

Their trip is smooth.

Allen also used this time to relax for a while.
