Chapter 76 The Fifth Hextech (1/3)

Hextech looked down at his arms. They were normal muscles and normal skin. It was impossible to tell from the outside that this body was compressed from a giant who was over six meters tall.

"The Ursus Brooch can change your body and your appearance."

"You can become anyone if you want to be," Ada said.

"That's interesting," Hextech said, brimming with excitement.

To be honest, while fighting as a six-meter giant is certainly exhilarating, daily life is extremely inconvenient.

He didn't even have a suitable chair, and he had to bend over or even squat to pass through doors and obstacles, which restricted him in many ways.

Now that he can control both size and appearance, it certainly gives him a lot of convenience. After all, Hextech's face is no secret in the Manchester church.

She forced herself to calm down: "As for the second gift, it's a comprehensive preparation for your internship as a priest in London."

"We will arrange for teachers to teach you all matters, including folk customs, doctrines, combat skills, and rules of conduct."

"Of course, with your strength, there are few people in the United Front who can defeat you."

"But you're not good at fighting, nor are you skilled in stealth or infiltration techniques."

"We can help you fill in the gaps in your abilities, allowing you to master this perfect divine body."

Hex nodded solemnly: "I really need this help."

Previously, the fight relied entirely on brute force and speed, resulting in a chaotic, unpredictable barrage of punches.

At first, when he was evenly matched in strength, he was beaten badly by Belev. Even after he completely overwhelmed his opponent in strength, Belev would still repeatedly use his skills to launch surprise attacks.

If the demon weren't so brainless, fighting him head-on would only lead to him flying a kite in the air, which would be troublesome.

After taking the Ursus Brooch, Hextech thought there would be other artifacts, but he was unexpectedly sent back to his private room by Ada.

"You should get some rest," Ida said.

"Ada, where are we now?" Hex asked.

With his keen sense of smell, he detected a strong, salty, marine scent in the air.

Ida walked to the window and reached out to pull back the curtains.

Hex looked up and saw a deep, calm sea.

He walked to the window and peered out, discovering that he was on the top floor of a giant fortress.

Below the fortress, layers of sentry posts stood.

UFSAT-enhanced soldiers can be seen patrolling everywhere.

In the distance, a makeshift airport has been carved out of the jungle.

A plane was slowly taking off, clearly indicating that the officials had already set off to spread the news of the Savior's birth throughout Europe.

Looking into the distance, there was no land outline in sight.

"Is this an island?" Hex asked.

“That’s right, it’s the Isle of Man.” Ada nodded. “This is a very important military and logistical base for the United Front.”

"Given the situation of the United Front, it is impossible for them to build cities on the mainland."

"They can't occupy the wilderness either."

"Those places are firmly controlled by the church's power."

"We can only hide and lie low to avoid the church's encirclement and suppression."

"This should just be a stronghold for your faction, right?" Hex looked at Ada.

Ada looked at Hextech, who was as tall as a giant, and nodded slightly: "That's right."

"We belong to the English faction of the United Front."

"Primarily responsible for the infiltration strategy in southern England."

"The north is controlled by the Irish Republican Army."

"One England, divided into north and south." Hex shook his head.

"It's even more disorganized than the church."

"So many Protestant factions have been unified under the Protestant Union."

Hell invaded the world, and the Church was mainly divided into several factions, the largest of which was undoubtedly the Roman Catholic Church of the Papal States.

For a very long time, the Roman Catholic Church was the only religion on the continent.

However, after the painful lessons of the Plague War, the Roman Catholic Church was greatly weakened, and the Primarchs of Paladins were also dissatisfied with the Church.

Therefore, in the 16th century, under Martin Luther's religious reformation, Protestantism emerged, and the right to interpret scriptures was partially taken away.

Meanwhile, Orthodox sects also emerged in Russia and Kiev, on the front lines of the resistance against the dead.

The Vatican, naturally unwilling to relinquish its religious interpretation rights, launched a religious war to try and resolve the issue of Protestantism, which was still in its infancy at the time.

However, the Holy Knights chose to stand by, and Germany and England united to resist the Orthodox Church. A great war caused heavy losses to the Papal States, which had to recognize the status of Protestantism. However, the Pope at the time left a secret, recognizing a large number of small sects, intending to incite internal strife within Protestantism.

From then on, various religious sects began to spring up like mushrooms after rain, which triggered deeper infighting as everyone wanted to become the state religion.

After a long struggle, under pressure from the Roman Catholic Church, the Anglican Church and the Lutheran Church were forced to unite the Protestant Confederation of England and the German Order. This, in turn, aligned with the pluralistic development of the denominations and allowed industry and commerce to relax, leading to a rapid increase in the strength of both countries.

"I'm actually quite dissatisfied with the loose structure of the United Front," Ada said.

"But this is the only way for now."

"No one can forcibly combine dissenting parties and revolutionary armies with differing ideologies into a powerful and unified organization."

"Even Mondrian couldn't do that."

"I don't think you can do it either." She looked intently at Hex.

"So—" Ada leaned closer and whispered in Hex's ear in a very intimate manner.

"Leave here as soon as you've finished training!"

"This is not your home."

"This place is not one that is kind to you either."

She slowly took a step back, looking intently into Hextech's eyes.

"This is advice, Mr. Horus."

Hex frowned. "Who wants to attack me?"

"Who is it?"

"Mondrian's opposition?"

"Or—" Hex glanced at her, "...it's you!"

"No, I'm just questioning your origins," Ada chuckled.

"But many more people want you to disappear completely."

As expected, his identity had inadvertently made him a target of public criticism. Fortunately, he was branded with the Demon Mark, giving him a legitimate reason to leave the United Front.

"To be honest, I don't believe in any savior legends at all," Ada said.

"If you expect a savior, what's the difference between that and expecting a god?"

"What difference is there between our united front and that corrupt church?"

Hextech couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile.

"What a coincidence, me too."

Ada and X exchanged a glance, then Ada said, "Alright, Mr. Horus."

"You can rest now. Formal training will begin tomorrow."

Ada blinked and then left the room.

Hex plopped down on the makeshift reinforced bed, the bed frame instantly creaking under the strain.

He then looked at his ARAM (All Random All Mid) panel. After completing the Inessa's Teammate story mission, he successfully leveled up to level four and gained another Hextech gacha pull.
