"Life, do you know the reason why do I have a small authority in this shrine?" Allen asked.
He and the Tree of Life are having small talk while he was seated on one of its branches.
Allen is gazing at the surviving elves.
The elves from his era are one of the most powerful races. They are united and gifted with great prowess as well as long life. The Divine Spirit whom they were faithful to enjoyed plenty of divine energies from them.
"I'm not sure, I barely gained some of my memories," the Tree of Knowledge replied.
Indeed, the Tree of Life only awakened a few decades ago. However, unlike Allen, it did not have authority in the shrine.
Well, as Allen thought of it, it is not hard to guess why he is not granted authority. After all, the Tree of Life is merely a divine creature and is not a Divine Spirit.
However, of all the divine creatures out there, the Tree of Life is the most fascinating one.
Meanwhile, seeing the number of the elves in the elven forest, Allen asked, "are all of these the survivor of the race?"
"No, there are more, the Elven King is out there fighting the war."
Allen was astounded by what he heard. However, at this moment, he felt some of his Divine Marks detonate.
"Foolish creatures!" Allen remarked inwardly. The Divine Marks are akin to a timed bomb.
The moment that its bearer lost its loyalty to the Divine Spirit, it will detonate. It will kill its bearer using the Divine Spirit's faint authority on it.
At this moment, using his methods, Allen sneaked a peek into his remaining followers and was surprised as to where are they.
"Life, can you reach out to the elves? Tell, them to keep mine."
Thus, the Tree of Life did as Allen asked. Meanwhile, at this moment, another surprise came to Allen.
This is the moment that Cold Wind completed his mission.
As the divine energy reached into the door of the repository, Allen also gained access to it.
With the connection that has just been forged, Allen opened the repository and let both the bird and Cold Wind enter.
"Goodness gracious!" Cold Wind exclaimed as he saw what was inside the repository.
Even Allen was wearing a wide grin.
There are enough divine crystals to let him increase his power into a real God.
Although it is not enough to let him return to his peak, he is confident that he could run amok in the human cities.
Meanwhile, Allen heard Cold Wind's prayer at this time. However, Allen only laughed inwardly and smiled brilliantly.
"My lord, the Divine Spirit of Life and Death, please enlighten me on how to bring all this to you."
Allen could feel Cold Wind's sincerity.
"Don't worry about it," Allen replied through the mark. Then he added, "you will be rewarded with your effort."
As Allen said that, he infused a bit of his authority in a golden fiddle and gave it to Cold Wind. The fiddle is one of the many treasures in the repository.
Allen knew that it was suitable for Cold Wind. He will only be the one who could use it to the fullest.
Meanwhile, Cold Wind's eyes sparkled. He knew that the value of the fiddle is great since it is stored inside the divine repository.
Well, indeed, the fiddle is valuable. It is graded as a saint.
As of now, Cold Wind is still a prophet; however, he will be a saint very soon. Or as Allen speculated.
At this moment, Allen disregarded his usage of divine energy and created an image of himself inside the shrine.
He looked at the plentiful divine crystals.
The sire of the divine repository is at least one cubic acre.
With all of this, Allen could also wake up some other Divine Spirits from their divine slumber. However, Allen would not do that for no good reason.
Of course, if possible, Allen wants to wake up a good old friend of his, the Moon Goddess. But, according to the Tree of Life, the Moon Goddess' authority is already wiped.
It's Allen's first time hearing it but he was not surprised.
The demonic energy negates each other. So, it is possible to wipe a Divine Spirit's authority using demonic energy and vice versa.
Meanwhile, Allen created a link from his Divine Mark to him. Then, he stored a few hundred divine crystals inside his inner world.
Allen could do it because the divine crystal is a solidified divine energy. One must not that his divine energy is stored inside his inner world.
Allen is planning to 'digest' them slowly.
Well, he could not directly use the vast amount of divine energy on them, or he will burst. However, when his body is fully altered, he could.
Even so, he could still use the divine energies inside as he pleases.
After all that, Allen had decided to move the divine repository.
…
At the center of the shrine, the war is still going in.
Blood is spilled with every swing.
The sounds of weapons hitting each other are resonating through the air.
War cries and death cries accompany one another.
At this moment, General Sean, Glenna, and Darwin are fighting on the side of the elves. Judging from the aura of the Jotnar and the rest, they knew that they could not be on their side.
The Jotnars exudes an aura of demonic creatures.
Glenna is acting as a support, old man Darwin is the tank, and General Sean is the ranged fighter.
However, they are barely holding themselves. If only the Divine Mark could help them.
With that in their mind, it was as if the Divine Mark responded to them.
They glowed in divine light and in the next second, they could feel that the divine energy was flowing through their bodies.
All their attacks are being boosted.. Their original strength that is on the ranks of a general had now reached the ranks of an admiral.
