Sherlock left the White Thorns Security Company, but instead of rushing back to Baker Street, he walked alone along the banks of the River Thames for a long time.

The fog of London reached its peak along the banks of the river, almost obscuring the freight ships along its way, and when you looked up, the huge clock was still running aimlessly, striking every 15 minutes, and the sound could resound through half of London, and spew the steam from the underground furnace into the air.

The bell was erected 35 years ago to commemorate the victory of the Second Demon Invasion, Sherlock didn't know why the big guy was named "Big Ben", and why it was built next to Westminster Abbey in Dun Westminster.

In short, these huge things are all hidden in the fog at this moment, and they also stand under the shroud of holy light, looking from afar, like the giant demon who tore through the cracks in the void and stepped on the long streets of London during the second demonic invasion.

......

Of course, Sherlock hadn't seen those giant demons, because when he was born, the second demon invasion had already ended.

However, in this world, he must know the Holy Light and the Second Demon Invasion very well.

More than two centuries ago, the gates of hell opened on the Antarctic continent and the Light descended on earth......

No one knows what the Light looks like, whether it has a physical substance or not; Maybe at the top of the world's highest mountain, above the clouds; The most mysterious and noble institution of the Holy See——— the servants of the Holy Light Temple, may know what the Holy Light really looks like.

But the citizens of the empire only knew that the holy light was not a light, not the golden color that fell from the sky......

In the universal concept, the Holy Light is imperceptible, imperceptible, has no temperature, is nothing, but exists in every corner of the Empire.

People believe in the Light...... Because it is fundamental to the existence of human beings in this world!!!

Under the shroud of the Holy Light, large spatial rifts cannot appear in the city, which ensures that the citizens of the Empire just need to be careful not to let those small demons gnaw to death......

In addition to that, the Light knows everything in this world at all times!

Knowing where a person is, what they are doing, knowing where a small void crack has appeared, knowing which poor person will be bitten on the head by a little guy who has just appeared, the Holy Light can kill any citizen in an instant, and even kill every small demon in every corner of the empire in a second!

The Light is all-knowing, all-powerful, and knows the past and the future!

Although it sounds a bit mysterious; But this is the truth, it has been the result of centuries and hundreds of millions of human beings, the Holy Light is a gift from God to mankind, a power that transcends all the laws of the world!

And being strong must have its drawbacks...... Manipulating the Light is extremely difficult.

Even those servants of God who have abandoned all human desires and are forever devout in the Light will have to pay a terrible price if they want to establish the simplest communication with the Light.

And, putting these costs aside, the use of this power alone is likely to have a huge impact on the human social system.

If people know that there is a force that can probe anyone, kill anyone, and even know his past and future, anytime, anywhere, without discrimination, and without resistance, how can they not panic and not be timid!

No, only the panic of a few people can be called panic, if it is the panic of millions of people, hundreds of millions, it is the collapse of the social structure!

Fortunately, because of the existence of demons, human beings must be protected by the Holy Light......

The Holy See spent more than 200 years to pacify, and at the same time established a huge system of believers throughout the empire, spreading the gospel, inducing piety, and countless other overt and covert means, finally making mankind selectively forget the horror of the Holy Light, and even enshrine it as the most noble force of mankind!

It has truly reached the perfect social form that can only theoretically be possible that 'everyone dies once, and everyone needs to serve'.

As for why the Second Demon Invasion occurred, it is easy to explain, after all, every modern history book mentions it.

For on the other side of the gates of hell there is a ...... Demon.

That's what the Holy See calls that thing anyway;

In order to prevent the evil god from stepping out of the gates of hell and descending on the real world, the Holy Light can only pour all its strength to fight against it, therefore, the protection that envelops the entire empire is gone, and large void cracks can be opened anywhere at will, and large demons can also drill out at will and set foot on the territory of the empire...... Just like the years when the gates of hell were just opened.

Yes, the Light is omniscient and omnipotent, but it still has goals that require all its strength to resist.

The Holy See has never denied this!

Moreover, the confrontation between the Holy Light and the evil gods, and the fight between the Holy See and the demons...... This seems to be a reflection of the struggle between the different forces of the two worlds.

The second demonic invasion lasted for five years, and the people also survived under the demonic erosion for five years, in fact, during that dark time...... Humanity has lost almost all hope for life.

Until Dante Alighieri appears like a savior!

This Holy Cult Army soldier who came out of the lower city, wearing the most old-fashioned steam armor, with his contract demon that constantly broke through the evolutionary barrier, tore an incredible hole between countless demons on the battlefield of the Antarctic continent, like an unstoppable light, and rushed into the gate of hell!!

That's right, a human who rushed into hell!

In that otherworld, no one had ever set foot in that otherworld, this god-like warrior was alone, thirsty to drink the boiling sulfur water of hell, hungry and could only devour the flesh and blood of demons, and survived alone for a year and seven months, and finally, succeeded in killing the evil god with the power of a human.

And killed all the way back to the world!

At this point, the war that almost wiped out all mankind was finally ended.
