Hell has invaded, but my Hextech is invincible!

Chapter 8, 2nd Choice: Hextech Strategist

Half a kilometer downstream, Hex poked his head out of the water, hiding behind a ferry on the riverbank, and looked toward the bridge.

That dangerous woman has vanished without a trace.

Given Ada's cunning and calculating nature, Hextech still worries that she won't let him off the hook.

However, Manchester is large enough, and the church has not yet been defeated.

Even if the United Front is arrogant, it wouldn't dare to launch a city-wide manhunt.

He quietly climbed onto the ferry, took control of the vessel, and then slipped into the cabin.

Hex tossed the unconscious Emily onto the bed and leaned against the cabin wall, panting heavily to catch his breath.

My clothes were soaked with sweat and dust, my back was almost numb from the impact, and I had been swimming underwater for 500 meters.

If it weren't for his tenacity, he would have collapsed to the ground long ago.

He fought his way out of the lab all by himself, having been hit by at least four or five bullets.

Fortunately, his astral body granted him extremely strong physical strength. His skin was as tough as cowhide, and his bones and muscles were incredibly dense. The bullets were all embedded in his flesh and did not damage his internal organs.

He looked at the ARAM (All Random All Mid) panel.

[Hextech Main Quest: Escape from the Underground Lab (Completed)]

[Reward 1: 200 experience points]

[Reward 2: 500 Gold Coins]

[Reward 3: One opportunity to make a purchase in the store]

With all the experience points from the main quests credited, Hextech's level immediately jumped from 1 to 2.

The level increase brought some changes to his appearance, but Hextech didn't have time to worry about them.

Because, the choice of one of three Hextech items at level 2 has appeared!

[Level up to 2 and unlock 1 Hextech gacha pull]

Three Hextech cards, each emitting a different glow, floated out of thin air in front of him.

Hextech's eyes lit up instantly upon seeing the contents of the three cards.

【Crowned Dragon (Gold)】

[Effect: Greatly increases the stacking rate of your own growth skills, excluding the stacking efficiency of the equipment itself]

[Physical to Magical (Silver)]

[Effect: Attack power is converted into spell power at a fixed ratio]

[Third image: Goliath (Prismatic)]

[Greatly increases maximum health (35%), grants Adaptive Force (15%), and permanently enhances health regeneration speed.]

Gazing at the Goliath giant shimmering with iridescent light, Hextech made his choice after only two seconds of deep thought.

Are you kidding me?

With an Astral Body already at the start, and then acquiring the Goliath Giant, survivability is immediately maximized.

If we get another tank engine in this round, it'll turn into a really fun game, and we can start stacking steel.

Of course, this was just a joke in his mind.

He wasn't playing a Hextech Brawl game at this moment; he had actually been transported to the world of Hell Invasion.

His biggest problem right now is that he has no skills whatsoever. He's just a blank slate who can only rely on basic attacks for damage, no different from the most basic minion in the game.

He was completely unsure whether the Hell Invasion skill system in this world could be compatible with the Hextech ARAM skill system.

He didn't even know if he had the attribute of "spell power".

To gain extraordinary abilities in this world, that is, to awaken the Holy Register, one must either actively join the church and obtain the inheritance of Holy Power, or rely on one's own primordial Christ substrate to awaken autonomously.

The game's protagonist awakens a Holy Talisman that leans towards support.

It can sense the pain of others and absorb their evil thoughts. It can heal the pain of others and enter their consciousness space to comfort them.

It was precisely because of this ability that the original owner was able to subdue a group of powerful troublemakers, form the Golden Army to fight in the east and west, and not fall apart.

Honestly, he's like a psychologist, capable of healing all sorts of attractive characters.

This also aligns with the strategy of weakening the main character in the sequel to increase immersion.

But Hextech is quite certain that he has not awakened this ability.

Perhaps because his soul after transmigrating was completely different from the original owner's, or perhaps because his bodily functions had undergone an abnormal change, the original Christ matrix within him had already been surging wildly in the direction of the abnormal change.

If it weren't for the Astral Body he drew at the start of the game that suppressed the mutation, he would probably have already turned into a lump of mindless rotten flesh.

Having figured all this out, the direction he chose couldn't be clearer.

He had no way to acquire any skills in the short term, so spell power was useless to him, and the [Physical to Magic] conversion was naturally rendered useless.

He currently has no stacking skills, and the effect of [Stacked Horn Dragon] is practically useless and worthless.

Without hesitation, Hextech reset the two useless Hextech cards.

The reset cards refreshed to include two new cards: "Speed is King" and "Wizard's Thinking," which are also not very useful.

This, in turn, solidified his confidence.

What he wants to do is use the tactics he's best at and enjoys most in the game.

Muscles stacked like steel!

Health points are life force; health points are the strongest foundation.

He has now completed the main quest. Once he has enough gold to buy the core equipment Heart Steel, he can use Heart Steel's stacking mechanism to convert a massive amount of health into attack power. Even without skills, he can still overwhelm everything with brute force.

This is the most cost-effective, safest, and most certain path to becoming stronger for him.

Selected: [Goliath].

Instantly, a gentle force swept through my entire body!

The muscles stretched and expanded wildly, and the bones made a series of crackling sounds as they grew and strengthened.

In just a few breaths, Hextech's figure grew a full head taller again.

At this moment, he was even taller and more imposing than Benev of the United Front.

His muscles bulged rapidly, sharp and taut, exuding a ruthless explosive power, much like an Astartes monk from Warhammer 40K, his entire body radiating an aura of unapproachable strength.

Immediately afterwards, the complete attribute panel appeared before his eyes.
