After enduring various difficult battles, the 666 (Trihexa) who had descended on the human world, the underworld, and heaven, among other places, were all sent to the Isolation Barrier Domain.
However, the war was far from over. Countless mass-produced evil dragons and monsters spawned by 666 (Trihexa) continued to invade and wreak havoc throughout the world.
The next step was to completely eradicate these evil dragons and monsters!
In Tokyo, the human world-
"Roar!!!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless evil dragons and monster armies relentlessly attacked the barrier surrounding the city, spewing fire and thunder. The entire barrier flickered chaotically, as if it might collapse at any moment.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Suddenly, a crack opened in the barrier, and several evil dragons and monsters shouted excitedly before rushing in one by one.
However, when more evil dragons and monsters tried to follow, the crack in the barrier had already closed. Roaring furiously, those blocked outside the barrier resumed their attack.
Similar scenes played out in many different corners, and in a short time, hundreds of evil dragons and monsters had invaded the city.
Like fish in the sea, these invading evil dragons and monsters wreaked havoc in the city without restraint. Although the city's residents had taken refuge in various shelters, these ordinary shelters were no match for these monsters.
Screams, cries, and pleas for help filled the air, and countless casualties piled up, turning the entire city into a terrifying purgatory.
Naturally, the human government wouldn't stand idly by. They organized numerous military forces for self-defense and counterattack.
However, large-scale weapons of mass destruction couldn't be used inside the city, and conventional firearms and ammunition did minimal damage to the monsters.
Often, the sacrifice of dozens or even hundreds of human pawns was required to bring down a single monster.
And the monsters that the human military could defeat were mostly the weaker ones; the slightly more powerful monsters left the human forces helpless.
"Ahhhhh..."
"They're coming in! Those monsters are coming in!"
Inside the Church of the Saintess, the refugees watched in horror as the monsters outside relentlessly attacked the barrier. They let out screams of unimaginable fear.
Under normal circumstances, the Church of the Saints and Demons Religion refused outsiders, allowing only believers to enter.
However, due to the current crisis in the world, and by order of Tenraku, the church was opened to the public this time, allowing them to seek refuge.
"Everyone, please don't worry. The protective barrier cast by our Holy Lord-Sama surrounds this church, and those monsters would not be able to enter here."
Susan, dressed in a white robe, stepped out of the main hall with several believing girls to reassure the frightened crowd.
The barrier surrounding the church was much stronger than the one surrounding the entire city. Although many evil dragons and monsters had gathered outside to attack the barrier, it was impossible for them to break through.
"Saintess Sama, please save us! Save us!"
Despite Susan's assurances, the terrified crowd couldn't calm down. Some even knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly and begging Susan.
In fact, many days ago, the girls of the Saints and Demons Religion had distributed leaflets to the people, warning them of the impending disaster.
However, at that time, most people ignored them and dismissed them as the propaganda of a cult. It was only under the government's coercive orders that people reluctantly moved to the shelters.
When the disaster struck, the overwhelming onslaught of evil dragons and monsters nearly drove the people of the city insane. They felt as if their worldview, built up over years, had collapsed in an instant.
If it weren't for the barriers set up by the Saintess Religion and the Demoness Religion, the entire city would have been overrun and destroyed by the first wave of monster attacks.
Many people screamed and fled into the streets.
Some chose to flee to nearby shelters, some chose to hide in their own homes, and some more clever individuals remembered the addresses left on the flyers distributed by the Religion of Saints and Demons and fled with their families to the Church of the Religion of Saints and Demons.
And these people were indeed lucky, for many of those who fled to other shelters and homes had already perished, but they were still alive.
"Don't worry, both of you. Holy Lord-Sama will protect us. This place is also very safe."
Seeing the middle-aged couple who were already beginning to lose control of their senses, Susan spoke reassuringly.
But when the middle-aged couple heard Susan's answer, they couldn't help but think that even though Susan's Holy Lord-sama might protect them, it didn't necessarily mean that he would protect them!
However, in their moment of despair, the couple quickly realized something.
"Saintess Sama, we believe in Holy Lord-sama too!"
"Yes, yes, we want to believe in Holy Lord-sama too! Let us believe in Holy Lord-sama!"
The middle-aged couple had previously only believed in science and had no faith in any Holy Lord or gods. However, after experiencing what had happened, their worldview was completely overturned.
To hell with science! Could science eliminate the monsters outside and protect their lives?
Indeed, believing in Holy Lord was the right thing to do! Not only the middle-aged couple, but also many other people were clamoring to believe in the Holy Lord and join the holy religion, causing a commotion in the entire church.
A faint smile crept to the corner of Susan's mouth as she thought, "These people finally understand the greatness of our Holy Lord.
But not everyone was qualified to become a believer in their Holy Lord!
"I'm sorry, everyone. Our Saintess religion only accepts pure girls as believers."
Susan smiled as she spoke, and the disappointed crowd couldn't help but show their dismay.
It was understandable. Their name was the Saintess Religion, and they were all a bunch of middle-aged adults. How could they still be called Saintess?
"How could this be..."
The middle-aged couple who were still kneeling on the ground felt deeply discouraged. They really wanted to believe in the Holy Lord.
"But don't worry, you two. Although you cannot become believers in our Holy Lord, your daughter can."
Susan looked meaningfully at the girl next to the middle-aged couple and said.
The girl was the couple's daughter, still young, probably about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a beautiful and delicate appearance, dressed in a high school sailor's uniform.
She seemed quite frightened and stood silently beside her parents, her face pale.
When she heard Susan's words, the girl was still confused, but the middle-aged couple's eyes lit up.
"Mai, from now on, you will believe in Holy Lord-sama just like Saintess San!"
The middle-aged man stood up and said sternly.
"Mai, you must listen to us this time and join us in believing in Holy Lord-sama here.
The girl's mother also spoke hastily.
The couple had been driven to the brink of madness by the terrifying monsters outside. They couldn't join the Saintess Religion themselves, but if their daughter could, then it was okay.
No matter what happened in the future, at least they could feel a bit more at ease now.
As for what would happen later, they could deal with that later!
"Dad, Mom, I... I..."
The girl had never thought about believing in any holy Lord Gods. She looked completely lost.
"What is your name?" Susan gently lifted the girl's chin with her hand and asked.
"Mai, my name is Hanano Mai..." The girl answered truthfully.
"Don't be nervous, Mai. It is the greatest honor to join us and to believe in the Holy Lord-sama."
"Holy Lord-sama will protect us, grant us strength, give us tenderness, radiance and love, and teach us to find the true value and meaning of life."
"As long as you become one of us, you will understand how great our Holy Lord is."
Susan spoke in a gentle voice, and her holy aura gradually calmed the girl who had been nervous and at a loss.
