Hell has invaded, but my Hextech is invincible!

It must be said that the United Front's operatives are professional, efficient, and capable.

Especially these UFSAT-enhanced soldiers.

Their marksmanship, stealth, and close combat skills far surpassed those of ordinary people, and they were in no way inferior to elite Crusaders. It's important to remember that the Crusaders were the secular armed forces of the Church, soldiers who fought directly against heretics and monsters.

Their bodies have been enhanced by countless advanced technologies, and their physical strength, reaction time, and damage resistance far exceed the limits of ordinary people. Many of the low-level operators in the main characters' group in the game are former UFSAT members who defected.

During the infiltration, the two teams cooperated extremely well, refraining from firing their weapons without authorization and maintaining complete silence throughout, eliminating the scattered cultists along the way through stealth attacks.

Cult members are cult members because they believe in hell, but not everyone receives the blessings of hell. The vast majority of cult members are just ordinary people with twisted minds; they haven't undergone any specific rituals and are no different from ordinary people.

At least for now, they have not yet acquired any extraordinary powers.

As the United Front dealt with dozens of cultists and peripheral gunmen, they saw strange blue lights flashing ahead. Upon closer inspection, they discovered that they had left the tunnel and arrived at what appeared to be an exit.

Ahead lies an underground space covering approximately three acres.

This space is a cave with a large area of ​​stalactites on the ceiling, and two blue light sources illuminate the entire space.

"Why did they dig such a large underground space here?" Benev couldn't help but ask in a deep voice.

"Shouldn't these outposts be smaller to be more concealed?"

"This should be a later-processed underground cavern," Hex pointed ahead.

"Moreover, the noise from the excavation and renovation is easily masked by the United Textile Factory above."

"Most importantly, they need a lot, a lot of sacrifices."

Emily, who was in his arms, looked in that direction and her face turned pale. She covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from vomiting on the spot.

Even the battle-hardened soldiers, upon seeing the scene below, were all horrified, their fingers trembling uncontrollably.

Even Benev couldn't help but curse, "These bastards!"

Below was a veritable mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

The countless bones were piled up to form a huge bone crown. Just how many skeletons were inside?

Five thousand?

Ten thousand?

Hextech can't explain it either.

Besides the skeletal base, the cave walls on all sides were covered with dried corpses. The skin of the corpses had been completely peeled off, and their bloody, mangled bodies were covered with blasphemous hellish incantations written in blue fluorescent light.

The pungent, suffocating stench of blood kept assaulting the nostrils, something no normal person could bear.

Although Hextech had seen this storyline in the game, the game only used vague descriptions such as "mountains of corpses, countless" to pass censorship.

The photos from the scene are all blurry and abstract representations.

So even if you are mentally prepared, what you see with your own eyes is far more horrifying and cruel than what you read.

"Your United Front's intelligence system here has seriously failed in its duties," Hex said, looking at Ada.

"How many people have gone missing in the Lower City area over the past year?"

"A large part of them are all here."

"Or is it that you don't actually have the genuine support of the common people that you thought you had?"

Ida's face was expressionless, her eyes fixed on the infernal scene, and she remained silent.

At the very center of the bone altar, dozens of cultists were kneeling on bone crowns, using their blood to draw a huge blood-red magic circle.

"This is one of the altars in the hexagram array," Hex whispered.

"Let's get started, Executive Officer Ada, there's still time."

Ada nodded slightly and ordered in a low voice, "Prepare for sniping, fire simultaneously."

"We must kill them all at once."

Immediately, all the elite enhanced soldiers found their sniping positions.

Aiming down below.

..............................

Below, Ramirez was using human blood mixed with ritual materials made from the brains of special living creatures to draw the final stroke of a magic circle on human bones.

They had been preparing for a grand ceremony for a whole year, and were about to bring hell back to earth.

Sixteen years later, the gates of hell will once again open on this corrupt land. He will personally teach these ignorant humans what true faith is.

At that moment, his deputy stepped forward: "High Priest, a biogas tank has exploded above."

"The textile factory is on fire."

"However, I have already sent followers to guard the factory area and prevent unauthorized personnel from approaching."

Ramirez remained calm. During the moment the earth shook, he had thought the church had come knocking, but it turned out to be just an accident.

"That's a good thing," Ramirez said indifferently.

"Since it was an accident, there's no need to worry about it."

"Anyway, this city will be completely burned to the ground by hellfire sooner or later."

"Hell Burns the City, a Choice of Fate."

"The transformation between truth and falsehood begins anew."

He crossed his hands devoutly, striking a strange prayer pose.

All the believers immediately followed suit, chanting in unison.

"The transformation between genuine and counterfeit begins anew."

Ramirez slowly opened his eyes, and images appeared in his mind: countless humans wailing, crying, and begging for mercy in front of the demon, only to be completely devoured in the end.

The thought of this scene filled him with genuine joy and excitement.

The core tenet of the Adventists is that humanity is already burdened with original sin, and God has already abandoned all living beings. Only by opening the gates of hell and allowing demons to cleanse the world can humanity's sins be atoned.

And he is about to become the third bishop in the history of the Adventists to successfully open the gates of hell.

He will be forever remembered in hell.

Ramirez opened his arms, wanting to embrace the impending hell.

But just then—

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound of air being torn apart suddenly rang out.

The next second, the heads of the believers in front of him, who also had their arms outstretched, exploded almost simultaneously, and seventeen blood flowers bloomed on the altar at the same time.

Ramirez was jolted, and just as he was about to turn his head, there was another crisp sound.

He felt a sudden lightness in his head, and the next moment he understood what was happening. He suddenly burst into maniacal laughter: "You can't stop it!"

"It can't be stopped!"

crackling-

A hail of bullets swept in like a storm, instantly turning him into a mangled mess. Yet, even riddled with holes, he was still alive.

"Don't you understand?" he roared like a demon from hell.

"It was destiny!"

"Any attempt to stop fate is futile!"

As he roared, the altar of bones beneath his feet began to tremble slightly.

Hextech, standing at the entrance of the passage, frowned.

"They're still alive after being beaten like that?"

"Anything associated with hell is definitely not normal."

Ada, however, remained unusually calm.

She drew her pocket pistol from her waist, leaped, and landed steadily on the altar floor. Using the momentum, she threw three grenades.

The monstrous Ramirez was about to pounce when he was hit head-on by a grenade, his flesh and blood flying everywhere.

"Defend formation!" Benev roared, hoisting a giant grenade launcher onto his shoulder and pulling the trigger at the monster.

"boom!"

Flames exploded on the monster's body, and its piercing screams echoed through the underground space.

Benev remained expressionless as he continued loading and firing.

The remaining enhanced soldiers surrounded the monster from all sides, using automatic weapons to continuously suppress it and restrain its terrifying regenerative abilities.

Ada stood directly in front of the monster and said coldly, "Drive him off the altar!"

"He can continuously absorb life force on the altar, making him very difficult to kill!"

"clear!"

Benev also rushed down from the altar and bombarded it at close range, firing one shot after another, blasting a huge hole in the bone altar at the monster's feet.

The monster roared as it crashed to the ground.

Four enhanced soldiers immediately carried over a giant oil drum and smashed it hard on its body.

Just as the monster was desperately pushing the oil drum aside, Ada fired her gun.

"Bang!"

The bullet precisely shattered the oil drum, and the burning gasoline instantly engulfed the monster, setting off a raging inferno.

A moment later, the piercing roar finally ceased completely.

Ada sheathed her weapons, gazed at the still-burning fire, and gave the order in a deep voice.

"Group B will stay behind to observe, while Group A will clean the entire altar."

Hex stood at the entrance of the passage and saw that the United Front was well-coordinated and had excellent tactical and technical skills, managing to wipe out the entire group of cultists without losing a single man.

"The United Front is really strong," he couldn't help but murmur in admiration.

When they're your enemy, they're disgustingly awful.

He was a teammate, but surprisingly reliable.
