In the square built by the residents of hell, demons surged, howling, roaring, and gathered towards the front of the square.
Because one "human" dared to challenge their entire invading army alone.
The demons surging behind them couldn't wait to see this ungrateful "human".
However, at the front of the square, the group of demons who were fighting "human beings" did not have the same good attitude as their counterparts at the back. They surrounded the "human being" but were slow to move forward.
"Roar!!" Instead, he made a deafening roar in an attempt to intimidate the "human being".
But if one observes carefully, their distorted and ugly faces, as well as their eyes that emit a strange red light, reveal unconcealable surprise and fear.
What looks like a threatening roar is actually encouraging them.
The "human" I saw was indeed a middle-aged male human based on his appearance. However, the demon corpses scattered around showed that this man was not ordinary.
The man's armor was scarred, similar to the UNSC's elite individual armor, but it was not equipped with a mechanical skeleton. The black combat uniform under the armor also looked white from being worn for a long time.
The most conspicuous thing is the center position on the back of the armor, with Umbrella's eye-catching red and white umbrella logo printed on it.
The double-edged wrist knife that the man is equipped with in his right hand, the boomerang hanging on his waist, and the telescopic spear held tightly in his left hand are all made by Umbrella.
However, the armor model is an "antique" model from around 2000, and the weapon is a replica "copycat" version prepared to recreate Iron-Blooded.
Moreover, since Umbrella formed an alliance with the Celts, the Iron-Blooded Clan of Lone Wolf, Umbrella secretly destroyed all the reconstituted Iron-Blooded clans.
So all signs indicate that this man has been out of touch with normal society for a long time.
At this moment, the man glanced at the demon with his bloodshot eyes expressionlessly.
"dad!"
At this time, the man's brows were furrowed, and some kind of auditory hallucination seemed to be floating around his ears.
As a result, an expression of rage gradually appeared on his face, and he immediately threw a telescopic spear at a bull-headed demon and rushed towards the bull-headed demon quickly.
"Pfft!" With a sound, the spear penetrated the Minotaur Demon's abdomen easily.
Even the "copycat" version produced by Umbrella was still the top craftsmanship of mankind at the time.
Moreover, the spear thrown by the man, after piercing the bull-headed demon, remained powerful and penetrated all the demons blocking the way along the way.
"Poof! Poof!"
In an instant, the spear caused a blood mist to rise among the demons, as well as countless wailing sounds, and finally stuck diagonally on the floor tiles dozens of meters away from the man.
While all of the above was happening, the man had already rushed to the side of the first bull-headed demon that had been penetrated and was currently lying on the ground.
He made a kicking motion without any mercy, threw his right leg back, and then kicked the devil on the head with all his strength.
"Bang!!"
The bull's head exploded crisply, but the skull with its horns ejected out and stuck in the chest of an unlucky demon.
The unlucky demon opened its eyes wide, spread out its hands and trembled. Before it could roar in pain, the man who kicked the bull's head to pieces brandished his slender wrist knife, and with a flash of cold light, it ended its life of tapping its back.
Then, the man took off the boomerang with his free left hand and swung it forward, harvesting the demon's life and rushing towards the shrinking spear he had dropped.
The demon was naturally unwilling to be slaughtered and fought back, but found that it was useless!
The five-meter-tall demon kicked the man away, but after the man hit the ground hard, he just wiped the corner of his mouth with his left hand before rolling up and continuing to rush towards the spear.
The edge of the stone forest away from the square.
"What's going on? Is that thing a human being?"
"Good guy, why do I feel like this place isn't so scary when I see that guy?"
"Eh? Look at that guy's back, it's Umbrella's logo!"
The D-class personnel gathered here can directly observe the man from a distance through the field of view provided by the helmet screen.
And during the conversation, they saw two giant demons that could make earthquake-like noises when they stepped forward. They stomped towards the man with an attack that killed many of their own kind.
Being flanked by two behemoths, and coupled with the huge difference in size, one of the demons finally stepped on the man's right foot.
"boom!!"
The ground was shaking like a stampede, and the D-class personnel in the distance could actually feel it.
"Ha ha-!"
Immediately afterwards, the giant demon's cheerful laughter spread throughout the entire area.
The D-class personnel who witnessed this scene collectively fell into silence, because even they thought that the man had been shattered into pieces and was bound to die.
"Roar?!"
Suddenly, the giant demon let out an extremely surprised roar.
Immediately afterwards, under the astonished eyes of all demons and D-class personnel, it lost its balance and uncontrollably threw its head up and fell backwards.
"Boom - boom -!"
The giant demon fell in the middle of the square, crushing many "innocent" similar people to death.
And the man slowly walked out of the pit trampled by the giant demon, completely shattering the demon's illusions, and fear once again enveloped them.

…
Outskirts of Deimos.
The Griffin, which has been in optical camouflage mode, is parked not far from the Destroyer.
Inside the bridge.
"Is this really human?"
Artemis, standing in the center of the bridge, watched what the man did through the holographic screen, expressing surprise and suspicion.
Hearing the doubts, the Red Queen, standing behind Sui Bianzuo, explained to Artemis in a cold tone:
"Based on the subject's appearance, height, and body shape, as well as the equipment and weapons used by the subject, it is proven that the subject is D-1999, one of the first batch of D-class personnel who signed the agreement to die.
Yes, D-1999 is human, and this is the relevant file."
After the Red Queen finished speaking, a screen was generated in front of Artemis, showing her the files about D-1999.
Artemis, who quickly read through the files, gradually felt sympathy for D-1999's past and sincerely admired D-1999. Finally, she couldn't help but sigh:
"This is a human father who is comparable to... no, far superior to most gods with only a mortal body."
As for Sui Bian, who was standing opposite her, he folded his hands on his chest, watching the holographic screen with a cold expression, and listening to the system's words in his mind that seemed to have been silent for a long time.
[It has been detected that the D-class personnel under the host have reached the source of the abnormal phenomenon "Hell's Gate" opening, so a time-limited mission has been issued.
Mission content: Destroy the "Axiom Stone" located in Asmodei's Palace.
Reward: 2000 points.
Time limit: 48 hours.】
Hear the words.
Sui Bian calmly said to the system: 'Is the D-class personnel under my command that you mentioned, D-1999.'
