Tybors Star, the undersea palace.

In the ancient underwater palace, on the crystal ground as smooth as a mirror, there are rays of light like hazy candle flames swimming from time to time.

On the pale stone wall directly opposite the gate of the palace, a slender and graceful female figure in a dark blue fishtail dress was bound to the wall by dozens of golden chains. Like a crucified criminal, her arms outstretched against the stone wall, her neck, hands and feet, and waist were chained.

At this moment, the woman seemed to lose consciousness, her head tilted in the direction of her right shoulder, and her ice-blue hair hung down like a waterfall.

Half of her face is hidden by her hair, and the other half of her face is wearing a mysterious mask in the shape of an inverted triangle - most people in the galaxy civilization should not be unfamiliar with this mask, because it is the symbol of the second apostle Herder.

Yes, the woman who was bound to the palace under the sea and locked to the stone wall was none other than Herder.

Ever since he was captured by Prey outside the El Star, Heard has been bound here, receiving the baptism of Prey's spiritual power day and night.

For Prey, the Apostle of Heaven, Herder's nature has been twisted beyond redemption, and the only way to bring her back to the right path is to completely reshape her personality and make her say goodbye to her former self. Almost, almost prey succeeded, but Karn's arrival forcibly interrupted the ritual and undone his efforts.

“......”

When Herder's vision regained clarity and the feeling of his consciousness being torn apart subsided, he slowly raised his head and looked at where he was.

White stone pillars stood everywhere, and the crystal walls on all sides were uneven and looked like frozen waves—the cell was empty, and the only figure that Herder could see was a mirror image of himself projecting on the crystal floor.

Whoosh——!

A few small tremors in the space.

Held closed her eyes slightly, sensed it, and when she opened her eyes suddenly, a dark red glare flashed in her pupils:

"Karn's breath?" he finally came......"

At this moment, her beautiful cheeks relaxed slightly, revealing a hint of reassurance, and then frowned sharply.

Herder suddenly felt a faint dizziness, and his soul seemed to be out of his body's control, spinning wildly in the dark vortex. It took a few minutes for the dizziness to subside, and when she regained consciousness again, she finally sensed that something was wrong:

"I thought that my spiritual resistance was enough to withstand the spiritual erosion of Prey, but I didn't expect him to be so powerful...... Although he didn't succeed after all, I also seemed to have the sequelae. ”

Thinking of this, she shook her head to keep herself calm, and glanced sideways at the chain on her arm:

"I'm going to get caught here, until Karn comes to me, for this is the opportunity in front of me!Prey, do you think I don't know your secrets? Genesis is in my hands, and I know your weaknesses well! From now on, I won't let you get in the way of anything. ”

As Herder's mind turned, a pale mist of light curled in her pupils, and dark gold streaks crept up her cheeks from her neck.

In the process, the second apostle's long ice-blue hair seemed to be given life, and suddenly writhed like a snake. Immediately after, those seemingly fragile strands of slender hair quickly wrapped around the golden chains, and frantically expanded in all directions—between breaths, the golden chains that bound Herder's body were all covered by the hair, and then quickly deformed by the twisting.

Click——!

With a twisting sound of metal shattering, the chains snapped, causing Herder's figure to slide slowly off the stone wall.

She landed easily on the ground, her long hair, which had stretched infinitely, faded and returned to its waist-length length.

"As I expected...... In the face of a strong opponent like Karn, Prey could not have been distracted...... The power that binds me has also weakened. ”

Herder looked at the door of the palace, chanted a series of awkward syllables, and then reached out and tapped the void, and in an instant, countless white trails of light spread out in the space like lightning, and these traces of light were like spider silk, crisscrossing the void, quickly weaving into a huge hunting web.

The Second Apostle stands in the center of the net, perceiving the structure of the entire palace through the infinitely extending trail of light.

"Found it!"

She looked up, the corners of her mouth curling with a smile.

In the next moment, a gust of wind seemed to rise in the empty cell, blowing the air into a blur, and Herder disappeared in the airflow.

......

Underwater Palace, an unknown area.

Herder's figure emerged from the air in the dark area, and she looked around, the endless darkness above her looked like a dim starless and moonless night sky.

Directly ahead, there is an endless black swamp, and on the surface of the swamp there is a straight road paved with feathers. The road ran straight through the swamp like a sword, pointing far ahead, and at the end of the road, hidden in darkness.

The width of the road on the water is about 50 centimeters, which can only be regarded as a sheep's intestine path, and every 10 meters or so on both sides, there will be a one-man tall statue of Prei. It's just that the feathers of these statues are red, which is a blood-like scarlet, and their demeanor and temperament are completely different from those of the Apostles of Heaven - if Prey is the proud overlord of the sky, then the statue in front of him is the lord of the black sky who symbolizes violence and cruelty.

"Sure enough, this is it. ”

Herder stepped forward, carefully treading the feathered path into the unknown darkness ahead.

As if sensing the arrival of a stranger, the statues' pupils flickered at the same time, illuminating the dark space.

“......”

As the Second Apostle moved forward, he exerted his perceptual abilities to the extreme, perceiving things in the unknown darkness.

However, in the vast space, there is no sign of life.

Even the black swamp, which looks dangerous, is completely devoid of any signs of the existence of mechanisms or seals in Herder's perception.

Da-da-da-da!

The High Heels of the Second Apostle stepped on the feathered ground, emitting a soft trill, echoing over the unusually empty swamp. From above, she looked like a tiny speck that stretched slowly along the path of feathers that crossed it.

One by one, one by one

At the end of the feather path, where the swamp was over, Herder walked up to the shore and looked up to see a huge gate that was not high. Around the gate is a barren wasteland, on which stand two rows of stone monuments several meters high, and at the junction of the monuments and the door, there are two golden altars with identical shapes.

"Twin Altar ......"

Herder stared at the altar getting closer and closer, slowly spat out a word, and then walked to the gate and began to break the ban on the Plei Seal Gate.

Although the Third Apostle's strength was far superior to her, when it came to forbidden seals and space technology, Herder far surpassed all the other Apostles, so it was not difficult for her to break Prey's prohibition.

She walked to the position between the two golden altars, and then stretched out her two hands, their palms aimed at the center of the altars, slowly injecting dark golden power inward.

It didn't take long for the light and shadow inside the golden altar to flicker a few times, and then rotate clockwise.

Rumble——!

The heavy gate let out a heavy roar and slowly lifted upward, and a scorching air rushed towards it as it opened.

The scorching breath was like the plasma gas flowing inside the star, and the power contained in it made Herder look sideways.

Inside the stone gate was the appearance of a city, standing outside, she couldn't see how big the city was, and there was constantly a hot air stream blowing out of it, blowing on her face, like hot magma.

"Sure enough, it was him...... He's been sealed here......"

Herder closed his eyes and sensed the inside of the stone gate, finding the source of the scorching aura in the most central area of the city.

......

Unlike the previous Dark Swamp, there was no light source in this almost weathered city, and the darkness was like a huge curtain that filled all the space in all directions.

However, this is not an obstacle at all for Herder, she can rely on the perception of mental power to be unimpeded here.

In complete darkness, the ruins of the city shrouded in scorching heat are doubly oppressive, and there is a little more terrifying atmosphere. Countless huge stone pillars fell to the ground on either side, and in some of the pits that looked like foundations, buried the vague statue of Tebols. The sight of broken arches and weathered steps indicates that the city once had a highly developed civilization.

In the very center of the city, there is a huge crater, about 3,000 meters in diameter.

In the depths of the crater lay the remains of a nearly weathered temple – even though buried deep in the crater, the vault of the temple was still the tallest building in the city, showing an extraordinary imposingness.

"This is it!"

Herder's figure flickered and vanished, and when she reappeared, she was already in the depths of the temple.

This is the source of the scorching heat, and a violent and powerful energy field accumulates in the depths of the temple, interfering with the void to form an infinitely distorted spiral space.

Da——!

After the Second Apostle entered the realm, she snapped her fingers with a wave of her hand, and white light surged out of her mask, illuminating the entire dark space, and in the silvery white light, Herder saw that at the very center of the energy field, a scarlet sculpture trapped in a six-pointed star suddenly appeared in view.

The statue was not much different from the statue in the Dark Swamp, but it was taller and more lifelike.

He stood tall in the center of the altar, glaring as if he were looking at a powerful foe in the sky, and four pairs of dark red and black wings spread outward, revealing a terrifying deterrent that covered the sky and the sun.

Although he looked like a statue, he gave people the impression of murderous and ferocious, as if he could break free from the seal at any time and soar towards the highest starry sky.

"Isis...... I've finally found you......"

Looking at the statue trapped in the six-pointed star, Herder's eyes glowed with a dark light, and he walked quickly towards the location of the six-pointed star.

Almost everyone knows that the name of the Third Apostle is Prey, but few people know his full name – Isis Prey.

And even less well-known information is that Prey is only a part of the Third Apostle, or that he is only half of the Third Apostle. For the Apostle of Heaven is the only one of all the apostles who is one and the same, just as the front and back of the coin have Isis Pre on the obverse and the other half on the verso as Prey Isis.

Sealed in the depths of the undersea palace, this statue that exudes infinite coercion is actually the body of Prei Isis.

If Prey is the light of Tepols, then Isis is the darkness of Tebos.

They share the power of the Third Apostle, and although they are almost the same in strength, they are in a state of eliminating the other. So when Prey sealed Isis and weakened it to the point of near-death, it was powerful enough to stand up to Karn.

This means that if Isis is released, Prey will lose half of his strength in an instant...... In this state, he was no match for Karn.

As long as Prey can't counterbalance Karn, Herder can continue to do whatever he wants - the purpose of her capture by Prey is to free Isis and leave the First Apostle Karn completely unmatched!

“......

Walking to the edge of the hexagram, Herder looked into Isis's eyes, which were now pitch black, without any whites or light, as if the whole socket was so completely dark in the cold and oppressive night. ，
