Hell has invaded, but my Hextech is invincible!

"For some reason, his ritual to maintain the gates of hell was disrupted."

"Without sufficient ritual support, it would be difficult to open the gates of hell."

"But it's like a gambler who's lost everything and is willing to risk everything to open a new account."

"It forcibly built a bridge using itself as a vessel."

"The passage between the two worlds was barely opened, but as a price, the gates of hell are very small."

"Even a true-named demon couldn't cross through such a narrow gate."

"Its true form is trapped in the gap between worlds, unless the gates of hell are opened—"

"Only then can it come in."

Hextech looked at it: "Aren't you a True Name Demon too?"

Valeria covered her mouth and chuckled: "It's precisely because I'm the enemy that I can come in."

"The other true-name demons are simply unable to enter."

"This broken gate to hell can only hold one true demon at most."

Valeria's words are largely consistent with the information in the cultist's letter found in the vault, which also proves that she is not obviously lying. Moreover, Valeria's words also explain why the demons did not send demons to perform the ritual, but instead had the cultists perform it through a detour.

Because the demons can't get in.

So they wandered around for a long time without encountering a single high-ranking true-name demon, only low-ranking monsters. Hellish demons never kindly open their doors to let their minions feast; in reality, high-ranking demons simply cannot enter, so they can only allow low-ranking monsters to wipe out the remaining human forces in the city.

The Demon of Desire continued, "Kalodos is ultimately a Lord of Hell."

"He can reconstruct the complete Gates of Hell in three hours at most."

"Then the demons will swarm in, and your real trouble will begin."

It's more than just troublesome.

Hextech rubbed his temples, looking exasperated.

No one knew better than him who had exposed Carlodos's scheme and disrupted his plans.

That person was himself.

Kalodos spared no effort to maintain his strength, partly to save face and partly because he saw him as a target.

That letter is enough to explain.

Having seen the letter and learned that the gates of hell were about to reopen, I've completely given up hope; there are only three hours left.

Three hours later, once the Gates of Hell are fully formed, Kalodos will not remain a bystander as he did in the original story.

Once the true form arrives, it will surely search high and low to find itself immediately.

"How can we stop the Gates of Hell from fully forming?" Inessa asked.

"We received intelligence that six cult members were holding a ceremony."

"If we kill them, will we be able to stop the gates of hell from opening again?"

"Cultists?" The lustful demon reached out her hand, and five souls wailed in her grasp.

"I've already taken care of them."

"But it didn't work. I just extended the time from one hour to three hours."

"Caldos will still come."

"I see." Inessa took a deep breath. Since her method had failed, she had no other choice.

At this moment, there was no longer any confusion or struggle in her eyes about cooperating with the devil, only unwavering determination.

If Calodos succeeds, the effort to save Manchester will be a complete failure.

She realized that three hours was simply not enough to evacuate many people; millions of civilians would not have enough time to evacuate, and the entire city would fall under the clutches of evil.

How many people have died?

Five hundred thousand, or one million?

"Tell me, how do I close the gates of hell beforehand!"

"It's very simple."

Valeria scattered flower petals, and Hex and Inessa suddenly discovered that a menacing black spire had appeared in the center of the city.

"When did it appear?" Inessa asked, puzzled.

"Your senses are blocked, so you can't perceive it," Valeria said.

"All you need to do is climb to the top of the Black Tower and destroy the hellish foundation stone inside."

"The opening of any gate to hell cannot be separated from the foundation of hell as its support."

Hextech is aware of this rule; it's a fixed setting for all Hellgate dungeons in the game.

In the early stages, players can only struggle to survive inside the gates. It's not until Chapter 9 that the protagonist personally ends the gates of hell for the first time, by destroying the foundation stones of the Black Tower.

"Then let's go quickly." Inessa tightened her clothes, her expression solemn.

"It's not that easy," Valeria said in a deep voice, trying to stop her.

"Don't be fooled by its appearance; the interior space is far larger than it looks."

"The spacetime inside the tower is chaotic, no matter which direction you enter from."

"They all initially appear at the base of the spire."

"To interrupt the ceremony, one must break through from the bottom to the top."

"This doesn't sound difficult?" Inessa asked, frowning.

"Sister, you're still too naive," Valeria couldn't help but sneer.

"This is the Demon Lord's most crucial stronghold, how could it be so simple?"

"The interior space is not an infinitely folded mirror maze."

"But it was filled with the double hellfire that could burn both the body and the soul at the same time."

"The flames on the first floor are so powerful that even ordinary monsters would be instantly ignited into torches and would turn into charcoal in less than thirty seconds."

"The flames on the second level are even more violent."

"Even steel will melt into molten iron inside."

"The third layer is the burning of the soul's true name."

"Even I can't hold on for long."

"Otherwise, I would have gone in myself and stopped his ceremony long ago."

He looked at Hextech: "With your physique, you might be able to withstand the first layer of flames."

"But it definitely wouldn't hold up to the second floor, let alone the third."

"That's a double injury, layer upon layer, to both the body and the soul."

Hextech frowned: "Was that soul attack continuous?"

Valeria shook her head: "It doesn't last all the time."

"According to that bat's preferences, soul attacks usually occur once every three minutes."

"However, a single soul attack is enough to kill a demon!"

"Even I would be severely injured."

three minutes……

Hextech looks at his teammate's synergy, Adaptive Helm.

[Effect: Immune to spell damage once every three minutes]

Soul attacks are also a form of magic, so they can be immune to by helmets.

Furthermore, he also has a cooldown reduction item that reduces cooldown time by 30%, which allows him to be immune to two soul attacks within three minutes.

But how do we deal with physical fire injuries?

According to Valeria, his physical body could only hold up to the second level at most.

"If I could become stronger..." Hextech pondered.

"Get stronger? No, no, no!" Valeria shook her head.

Even if you were five or ten times stronger and could enter the third level, it wouldn't matter.

"The most crucial thing is—"

"That stinky bat is trying to hold the gates of hell open."

"His true form resides within the Black Tower," Valeria said, looking at Hex.

"It is the original entity, not a projection or a state."

"You should understand what that means, right?"

The Demon Lord's true form?!
