Hell has invaded, but my Hextech is invincible!

Inessa stood at the back of the trench, next to Joanna, who was more than half a head taller than her.

A military map of the upper city was spread out in front of the two of them, with four altar locations marked on it, three of which were marked with red crosses.

The last one is right under this trading company.

An officer who resembled a chief of staff strode forward and solemnly reported to Inessa in a low voice: "The entire Eighth Regiment has entered the city."

"We are building a third line of defense."

"The Royal Air Force's 6th Regiment has also completed its third round of bombing."

Before he could finish speaking, two loud explosions suddenly rang out in the sky.

A crimson ray ripped through the sky, instantly cleaving two fighter jets that couldn't dodge in time, turning them into two raging fireballs that crashed to the ground.

The chief of staff's expression changed drastically: "The situation is probably not as optimistic as we thought."

"Sister Inessa, is there still no news of His Holiness the Bishop?"

Inessa looked at Joanna.

Joanna shook her head: "They're trapped in some kind of supernatural illusion."

"And the source of that confusion comes from Liverpool."

The bishop led two-thirds of the crusaders and nearly ninety percent of the clergy to a village near the Dark Sea, where a demonic descent was said to have occurred. However, when Inessa sent people to search for them, they discovered that the entire group had vanished.

The last traces are on the coastline of the Dark Sea.

"It really is an intricately linked conspiracy."

Inessa's expression was cold and indifferent, as if even the worst news couldn't stir any emotion in her.

"Shameless cultists!" Joanna clenched her fists, her face full of anger.

But she quickly calmed down, and her tone became more relieved.

"I really have to thank the United Front."

"If they hadn't warned us, the gates of hell would have opened and there would have been no turning back."

Joanna is straightforward and has always been clear about her likes and dislikes.

She knew very well that if it had been a few hours later, the gates of hell would have opened, and they would probably have been blocked by monsters in their bed, at which point there would have been no chance of organizing a resistance.

Inessa's tone was calm, yet carried a hint of gravity: "Victory is not yet achieved."

boom--!

A tall building in front of us suddenly exploded.

That was Manchester's most famous department store, but now it collapsed like a strawberry cake that had been carelessly knocked over by a naughty child, sending dust billowing everywhere.

Deep within the ruins, a colossal demon, taller than three stories and with curved bull horns on its head, slowly emerged from the darkness and thick smoke.

Countless bullets rained down on it like a storm.

However, these bullets could not get close to its body at all. When they were still a meter away from the demon's body, they were vaporized and annihilated by the terrifying aura.

The artillery positions in the distance continued to roar, and the shells did hit its body, but they could only leave a few scorch marks on its thick, black scales, without even breaking the skin.

This is--

The true name of the demon has descended in its true form.

With his own power alone, he could crush a prosperous city into ruins.

"Haha, is this the only way you can tickle me?"

The demon casually grabbed a screaming human from the collapsed building, shoved it into its mouth and began to bite, blood dripping from its hideous lips.

"tasty!"

"It's a pity there's so little meat!"

"Give me more!"

"Hahaha!"

Inessa remained indifferent until she heard footsteps behind her and the woman's sarcastic tone.

"They didn't even evacuate the civilians. As expected of the church."

She turned around and saw Hex and Emily, as well as the United Front's Ada and Benev duo.

The guards were taken aback and were about to step forward to stop them, but Inessa raised her hand to stop them.

"Why are you here?" she asked.

"We have completed our mission." Ada walked to the trench.

"But you obviously don't."

"This is indeed a big problem."

Ada looked at the demon bathed in gunfire and flames, her expression somewhat solemn.

"What bad luck, it's a true demon in its true form that has descended."

"But why hasn't it launched an attack on your positions?" Ada asked, somewhat puzzled.

Inessa said calmly, "Its purpose is simply to guard the last altar."

"Where is the altar?" Ida asked.

"Right at its feet."

"Our men have already launched three attacks," Inessa said calmly.

"But we can't get past that hurdle."

"Where is your bishop?" Ida asked again.

"We've lost contact." Inessa didn't hide anything.

Ada's lips curled into a faint, mocking smile: "Just as I thought."

"Where are your reinforcements?"

"The distress call was sent a long time ago," Joanna continued, "but the radio station was sabotaged by cultists, and we are working on repairs."

"At the same time, we have dispatched planes to the surrounding areas for assistance."

"But we can't be sure when reinforcements will arrive."

"Looks like you've been infiltrated even more than we have," Ada said sarcastically.

As everyone discussed the situation, Hextech stared blankly at the demon that remained unscathed amidst the gunfire.

Confronting the projection of the Demon Lord had given him a real sense of what a true demon was.

And what is this thing in front of me?

Did he wander into the wrong world and end up in the world of tokusatsu (special effects) movies?

The world setting is 1911.

However, due to the church and scientists' frantic focus on heavy industry and weapons development, conventional military force has reached the level of World War II.

Equipment such as multiple rocket launchers has even reached the level of the early Cold War.

Such firepower would be sufficient for some battlefields in the 21st century.

Even in the modern Russo-Ukrainian conflict, the scale of heavy artillery deployed in a single instance might not match that of this militaristic England.

But even so.

The cannonballs that hit the demon only slightly charred its scales.

The demon was not injured at all.

Hextech was even certain that if it weren't for the altar holding it back, this demon could charge straight into the human army's positions, and all conventional weapons would be no different from toys in its presence.

Ordinary soldiers could only let out the most heroic battle cry before being trampled to death.

What kind of absurd world have I transmigrated into...?

Why not just transform into Ultraman? At least then we could fight head-on.

He looked at Inessa: "Doesn't the church have any other trump cards?"

With the current stalemate, even if reinforcements arrive, it will take some time to launch an attack. Looking at the current time, there is only a little over an hour left until midnight.

There isn't much time.

"The holy oil and holy water will all be distributed," Inessa calmly analyzed.

"But two weeks ago, the Newcastle garrison drew away the vast majority of our inventory."

"The remaining quantity is too small to arm conventional forces."

"As for the sacred artifacts for protection..."

"Among the clergy still in Manchester, I am the only one who can summon it."

"I used up too much energy before, so it's impossible for me to summon it a second time in a short period of time."

According to the game's rules, the Guardian of the Sacred Artifact can only be summoned once per game; otherwise, the game's balance would be disrupted.

Moreover, only support characters can leverage this power, which makes some support operators almost as important as core characters in the game.

In reality, this means that Inessa would completely lose her ultimate ability in the short term, and she would be the only one in all of Manchester who could summon it.

Hextech sighed softly: "There's only one last option left."

"Contain it with frontal firepower."

"Send an elite squad to infiltrate through the sewers and destroy the altar."

"Once the altar is destroyed, the possession of this demon will disappear."

"It has no choice but to leave."

After a moment, Inessa nodded slowly.

"That's the only way."

"But this is extremely dangerous; those who go there may never return."

Her gaze was grave: "The Adventists have transformed this altar into an iron fortress."

"And all the Adventists in the entire city were stationed there."

"It would be very dangerous if only a small team went in."

At this point, Inessa's gaze fell on Ida.

"Therefore, this task must be done by the person most skilled at infiltration."

Ada smiled: "No problem."

"But I need a guide who knows the terrain."

She looked at Hex: "Mr. Horus, would you be willing to accompany me?"

"How about an adventure?"

Hex met her gaze and calmly said, "I'll go."

After all, this underground altar is the final level of the first chapter of the game.

He was the first to release this on the entire internet!
