Hell has invaded, but my Hextech is invincible!

Hextech raised his right hand and clenched it tightly: "My arm..."

"It's grown back?"

He clearly remembered that he had a real fistfight with the projection of that bull-horned demon, and then his arm exploded completely.

"You stopped the demon." Inessa looked at him, her eyes filled with complex emotions and shock.

"I have never seen such terrifying resilience."

"Apart from the sacred texts of the Resurrectionists, I have never seen anyone completely heal from severe injuries within two hours."

"This is simply unbelievable."

"Apart from paladins, I have never seen anyone who can stand against a demon head-on."

Even if it's a demonic projection.

Inessa asked in a low voice, "Mr. Horus, are you really not a paladin?"

"I'm not a paladin." Hex's lips curled up slightly.

Paladins are the vanguard of humanity in resisting the advance of demons.

He is also the strongest warrior below the level of a saint.

Although the paladin did not receive the Church's inherited holy ordination, he gained an extraordinary steel body by implanting the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ, which is the true blood and flesh in the doctrine. Combined with the Savior's Armor of Orichalcum, he was able to withstand several ordinary demons head-on, and even a small team with exquisite coordination could drive away a True Name Demon.

Clearly, this is a cosplay of a Brother Astartes from the Warhammer universe.

Like the Astartes, the number of paladins is extremely small, with only about a thousand across all of Europe. There are ten chapters, and there were once thirteen principals. However, due to various erased dark histories, only one principal remains, sitting in the Vatican.

If it weren't for him, humanity might have already become extinct.

Because they are imbued with the flesh and blood of Jesus, the paladins cannot be seduced, are not controlled by hell, will not betray humanity, and are the most loyal warriors of mankind.

However, since paladins can only be derived from the flesh and blood of Jesus, unlike Astartes which can mature their own genetic seeds, even if the church uses all means and technologies to cultivate the flesh and blood of Jesus, the flesh and blood of Jesus will become less and less.

Paladins typically live for over three hundred years, but few manage to die peacefully. Therefore, from their peak of 10,000-strong raid groups to their current 1,000-strong groups, it is foreseeable that if another major war were to break out, the Paladin race would likely face its historical end.

Of course, this is something that the Pope and the Primarch of Paladins need to consider. In the game, Paladins rarely appear, mostly saving the day in cutscenes or at the end of dungeons where death is inevitable.

However, even a paladin's regenerative abilities couldn't be as outrageous as Hextech's.

In the game, breathing restores five or six points of health per second, which is nothing special. After all, in a chaotic battle, you might die more than ten times. For a tank like Mundo, the amount of health restored can reach tens of thousands, which can be done in more than ten minutes.

But in reality, that would be a bit absurd. Hextech now regenerates five health points per second.

With over 3,000 health points, even if he's at zero health, it only takes him a dozen minutes to recover to full health.

This means that as long as he isn't killed by a blow, he can recover from even the most severe injuries through natural healing.

It now appears that injuries like limb amputation are not a problem.

"How's the situation now?" Hex stood up and looked around.

"The gates of hell have been opened? Have we still failed?"

Inessa's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her expression was no longer as cold as before.

"We've failed halfway; the gates of hell haven't been fully opened."

"The gates of hell covered several blocks nearby."

"Its area is only about one-third the size of Manchester's Upper Town."

"The residents in this area have already been mostly evacuated."

"Even if some are unfortunately caught up in it, it's only a very small minority."

"However, most of the soldiers in the Eighth Regiment were trapped there."

"What about the United Front members?" Hex was worried about his only remaining teammates.

He observed that Emily's status was normal and she hadn't logged off.

"They must have escaped," Inessa whispered.

"Executive Ada's assessment of the situation is even more astute than mine."

A hint of self-reproach flashed across her face: "If it weren't for my insistence on launching the preemptive strike..."

"Once reinforcements arrive, perhaps we won't be in this situation."

"It's already very good." Hex shook his head and offered a soft word of comfort.

"At least the entire city wasn't swallowed up."

"Keep in mind, there's a population of one million here."

He still couldn't understand: "I don't understand why the gates of hell still opened even after we destroyed the sixth altar."

Is it true, as that cult leader said, that they were too late from the start?

Does this mean the gates of hell can be forcibly opened without an altar?

Inessa gently shook her head: "The altar is merely the vessel for the ritual, not the ritual itself."

"The rituals had already been carried out in secret during the year that the Adventists infiltrated Manchester."

"The altar is merely a trigger point. The scheduled opening time was early last night."

"Some things are like fate; what's meant to happen will happen."

"All those who try to stop it will ultimately fail."

"After all, no one in history has ever truly prevented the gates of hell from opening," Inessa said with a hint of desolation.

Come on.

If I had known from the beginning that it was impossible to stop it, I should have left Manchester without hesitation.

Hextech was having a bit of a headache. He hadn't expected the demons to be so troublesome, and the main quest had given him the illusion that smashing the six altars would stop the ritual.

Unfortunately, the main quest never involves preventing the gates of hell from descending.

The good news is that Emily wasn't framed.

The bad news is that he and Inessa are trapped inside the Gates of Hell.

He was also very troubled, after all, just 24 hours ago, he was just an ordinary streamer who secretly played Delta Force after his broadcast ended.

"Sister Inessa, do you think someone will come to rescue us?" Hex asked.

In the game, the protagonist and Inessa endured seven days inside the Gates of Hell before finally managing to escape.

Inessa nodded: "The Church will not stand idly by."

"They will definitely find a way to break down the gates of hell and end the disaster."

"But I think they'll most likely assume we're already dead."

"In the last Hell's Gate incident in Liverpool, only one child survived."

"We may very well need to hold out in the gates of hell for seven days."

"Because historically, the longest the Gates of Hell have lasted is only seven days."

"Just as I expected." Hextech had a headache.

"Now we can only rely on ourselves."

You can't rely on outsiders; you can only rely on yourself.

But surviving seven days in here is easier said than done.

Inessa softly agreed, "That's right."

"Most of the soldiers in the Eighth Regiment perished when they encountered monsters." Her tone was cold, but one could clearly hear the regret in her voice.

"The remaining Crusader brothers, to cover our retreat, also stayed behind on their own."

"We can only rely on ourselves."

Although Inessa's expression remained unchanged, her hands involuntarily tightened their grip on the hem of her skirt.
