Hell has invaded, but my Hextech is invincible!

Chapter 80 The Final War That Began in 1914 (2/3)

"Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Speaker. I have a question to ask," Hex said.

"What do you need a savior for?"

"The Antichrist of the Church?"

"Or is he the messiah of the united front?"

"Or perhaps, they want me to become the savior of the entire human world?"

"Please tell me the truth, as this will facilitate our future cooperation."

"It's just the two of us here," Hex emphasized.

Upon hearing these three questions, Mondrian smiled with satisfaction.

"I never imagined your understanding of the political landscape was so profound."

If Mondrian wanted to portray Hex as the Antichrist of the Church, then frankly, he wanted to use him as a banner against the Church.

As a cardinal, Mondrian firmly believed in the prophecies of the Messiah, but all the other cardinals in the Papacy vehemently opposed him. They wanted to use Hex, this Messiah, to shake the foundation of the Church's faith in the hearts of the secular people and to compete with the Church for dominance in secular faith. After all, the first Christ in the world was Jesus, and Hex was used to counterbalance the Church's faith.

If Mondrian wants Hex to become the messiah of the United Front, he wants to use Hex's savior status to unite the scattered hearts within the Front and consolidate his rule over the United Front.

"Actually, both are true, but what I hope for most is that you can truly become the savior," Mondrian said calmly and solemnly.

Hex stared into his eyes, trying to discern whether these words were mere political hypocrisy or genuine conviction.

"I mean it," Mondrian emphasized earnestly.

"Humanity's only hope for survival rests on you."

He deliberately lowered his voice and revealed long-buried secrets within the Roman Catholic Church.

Why do we need a savior?

"Because the end of humanity is just around the corner."

end----

Although the world is like a cesspool every day, humanity can barely survive.

"The Vatican's leadership has been keeping a top-secret doomsday theory hidden," Mondrian said.

"Only the Pope, Primarchs, and cardinals, among other core members, are qualified to know this."

"The most holy prophet left behind the final prophecy and the judgment of the end times in 1900."

"The end of the world is not decades or centuries away, it's right now."

"It began in 1914 and ended completely in 1918."

"At that time, the entire human world will be completely destroyed."

"No one survived."

Hextech was startled.

He had also seen sporadic doomsday theories while playing games.

However, he treated it as some kind of superstition and jumped around.

But the man before us is a former cardinal, one of the top leaders of the Roman Catholic Church, who personally predicted the exact time of the end of the world.

It began in 1914 and ended in 1918.

This period of time corresponds precisely to the First World War in reality.

He recalled that when he progressed to Chapter Twelve of the game, the timeline was in 1914.

In the storyline, Archduke Ferdinand is assassinated by cultists, causing the Holy Roman Empire's eastern defenses to collapse instantly. Demons seize the opportunity to launch a massive invasion, and the game's storyline ends there without further updates. However, according to story enthusiasts, given the game developers' penchant for adapting major historical events into their storylines, a full-scale war is expected to follow.

The first war in this world was not a chaotic battle among great powers vying for interests, but a life-or-death struggle between hell and humanity.

With Hell's terrifying power, it only needs to mobilize one-fiftieth of its strength, plus one or two demon gods to oversee it, to flatten the entire human world in a short time.

Moreover, there are external threats such as alien insects and subspace demons.

Humanity has no chance of winning.

Mondrian continued, "After the prophecy was proclaimed, the devil secretly tore open a rift in time and space, and the two great princes assassinated Pope Gregory III and the Holy Prophet."

"If the Grand Master of Paladins hadn't stopped the two Demon Lords, even the Vatican would probably have been destroyed."

"Since then, the last words of the Holy Prophet have become a closely guarded top secret among cardinals."

Hextech understands that if such a doomsday prophecy were to spread, the entire human world would be plunged into panic and collapse.

Mondrian said, "The church leadership has never given up looking for a way out over the years."

"We used relics to create the Doomsday Clock to calculate the course of the apocalypse."

"Cultivate a paladin echelon, accelerate technological research and development, and strengthen conventional armed forces."

"But I know in my heart that none of these are the decisive factors."

"I was once lost and felt that humanity was hopeless."

"Until by chance, I used the sacred relic to sense the remaining thoughts on the body of the Sage Master."

"I heard his last words."

He said that the savior would descend on the bloody night of 1911.

Hex frowned. Had his time travel been foretold by the Holy Prophet?

No, no, no, he doesn't want to be some kind of savior!

"None of the other seven cardinals in the Vatican are willing to believe me," Mondrian said.

"They all think I'm crazy, just imagining things."

"Some even believe that I was bewitched by hell and fabricated prophecies to lull the world into a false sense of security."

"I understand their concerns."

"If we place all of humanity's hopes on a savior, it's like drinking strong liquor to numb ourselves; it will only erode our will to fight and cause us to lose all vigilance."

Hex nodded slightly: "I think they have a point."

There is no savior in this world; in the end, one can only fight for their own destiny.

Upon hearing this, Mondrian sighed deeply.

Hextech then voiced a question that had been buried in his heart for a long time.

"Since demons from hell can directly interfere in the human world, why don't you ever pray to God for help?"

This was a question he couldn't figure out while playing the game.

Heaven and God clearly exist in this world, and the bloodline of Jesus Christ has protected humanity for nearly a thousand years. Moreover, religion has long permeated social production, daily life, and even the deepest spiritual realm of every individual.

People recite scriptures, pray, and make devout offerings year after year, but why do Heaven and God always stand by indifferently and never send a helping hand?

If human suffering is a test for humanity, then should we continue to ignore it when humanity is on the verge of extinction?

Mondrian's expression suddenly tightened, and he stared intently at Hex.

"Three hundred and fifty years ago, God stopped responding to any believers in the world."

"Heaven has completely severed all ties with the human world."

"We can still rely on the power of faith to perform blessings and holy arts, and pass on sacred talismans."

"But we can no longer connect with the will of the Lord."

"The most holy prophet tells us that God has abandoned mankind."

"No way," Hextech exclaimed incredulously, "They're just going to watch humanity go extinct?"

"What meaning does such a belief have?"

"It's better to just abandon it."

According to the utilitarian beliefs of the Chinese, if you send me eggs to bless me, I will believe you.

If you are of no use whatsoever, then you are a heretical and evil shrine, and your temple should be destroyed!

"Because abandoning faith leads only to extinction," Mondrian said in a complex tone.

"In 1732, the Montaro Autonomous Federation of the Kederau Peninsula in Northern Europe, at the call of the Grand Duke, publicly declared that it was abandoning its faith in God."

They believe that God is indifferent, has long abandoned humanity, and is no longer merciful.

"But on the very day it was announced, an angel descended to earth and completely wiped the Montaro Autonomous Federation off the map."

"The land was turned into a vast sea, and more than ten million people perished without a trace."
