Twelve Apostles!

The Apostle One holds a sword in his left hand, and the Apostle Two holds a sword in his right hand.

Each of the Twelve Apostles possesses an innate ability. The first apostle's abilities are the sound of water and the song of ice.

The second apostle possessed the Voice of Flames, the Song of Fire.

Li Yuan had been observing their abilities for a long time, and he had tried various methods to send assassins to make these apostles act, but so far he had only collected the abilities of ten apostles.

The First and Second Apostles are Song of Ice and Fire.

The twenty-four apostles are a song of light and darkness.

The Apostle Five is the Song of Sharp Swords, and the Apostle Six is the Song of Protection.

The Seventh Apostle is the Song of War, and the Eighth Apostle is the Song of Peace.

The Ninth Apostle is a song of joy, the Tenth Apostle is a song of torment.

Li Yuan had already figured out the abilities of the first ten apostles, but he hadn't yet made a move with the last two apostles.

The two apostles stood behind the Winged King, their weapons being double-edged swords, with blades on both ends and only the middle section that could be gripped.

They gripped their swords with both hands, holding the double-headed swords upright in front of their chests, using the upper blades to cover half of their faces, and remained completely silent and unsmiling.

Although Li Yuan was unclear about the abilities of the two apostles, he knew what their purpose was.

They are the true apostles responsible for protecting the king, and they stay by his side at all times. They will not move an inch until the sword touches the king's face.

The remaining ten apostles are capable of fighting back.

But... isn't one of the apostles missing?

Li Yuan looked through the building at the scene inside the temple. After the First and Second Apostles were dispatched, there should have been ten apostles left inside.

However, the figure of one of the apostles seemed illusory.

No, it seems there's more than one.

The figures of the two apostles seemed to have no physical form.

When Li Yuan noticed this, he immediately thought of something.

Could it be that...?

He turned to look at Angel Mo: "Why are two missing?"

Mo chuckled lightly, "No, aren't they all here?"

002's senses are still as sharp as ever.

The temple was indeed missing two apostles, but the two apostles of light and darkness projected two more apostles to fill the gap.

It was obvious that this little trick of light and shadow could not fool Li Yuan's eyes.

But isn't it a bit too late to find out now?

Mo grinned, and the First and Second Apostles joined the battle. Each of the two apostles wielded a sword, and the power of fire and ice instantly swept across the entire battlefield.

The naval force that had just advanced was immediately driven back!

The fiery sword energy swept across the sky, turning it crimson, while the icy sword energy engulfed the sea, freezing everything in its path!

Atlas, together with his brother Antaeus, launched a simultaneous attack on the First Apostle!

Atlas is a variant of the Wave Walker, with eight tentacles on its left arm; Antaeus is a variant of the Predator, which leaps directly from underwater and attacks the apostle's back!

However, the two apostles were prepared. The moment they attacked at the same time, the two apostles merged into one, and the ice and fire swords combined to unleash two huge sword energies!

Upon seeing this, the two brothers who had just rushed out quickly retreated and plunged back into the sea.

The difference between the peak of the third tier and the lower tier of the fourth tier may seem slight, but in reality, they are worlds apart.

Even the Atlas brothers combined might not be able to defeat an Apostle, let alone two fourth-order opponents.

The good news is that the two apostles did not pursue the ocean army; instead, they stood in the sky, one on the left and one on the right, constantly intercepting the swarming Ocean Army.

They could have easily reversed the situation, but instead they chose to guard Paradise Island. Was it to fulfill their duty and protect the Winged King?

But these are only two apostles; there are eight more to come.

If two apostles can drive back the ocean army, then from any perspective, offense is the best strategy.

As for the claim that Mohism is a non-aggressive faction that only defends and does not attack, that's pure nonsense.

So what is Mo trying to do?

Just then, Mo turned to look at Li Yuan and said, "002, I've given you time to retreat."

No sooner had Mo finished speaking than news came from behind Li Yuan!

Hydra urgently contacted Li Yuan, saying that two fourth-order angels had already fought their way into the Ocean Palace!

"So that's what they went to do."

The "them" that Li Yuan was referring to were naturally the two missing apostles.

Li Yuan had considered the possibility of delaying them head-on while secretly sending two apostles out to raid Li Yuan's hometown, but Mo's actions were a bit too swift.

When did the person leave?

"The last time you left, he had already set off," Mo said with a smile.

I had long anticipated that Li Yuan would turn against me after that conversation.

Paradise Island is surrounded by sea creatures, Li Yuan would definitely strike first, but Mo made his move before Li Yuan could.

He knew he couldn't outmaneuver Li Yuan, so he had to resort to a quick one!

Under the cover of the Light and Dark Apostles, no one noticed that two Apostles had secretly rushed out.

And today, the timing is just right.

After so many years of probing, the Feathered People have long since figured out the layout beneath the sea.

Just like Li Yuan testing them, the exchange of information was mutual.

With their previous experience, the two apostles stormed into the Ocean Palace.

Those two apostles were the Apostle Five and Apostle Six, the strongest spear and the strongest shield; one was skilled in attack, and the other in defense.

With the two working together, sneaking into the Ocean Palace and assassinating the king should be a piece of cake.

As for whether the king in the palace is an imposter?

The apostles are not fools; they will not act until they find the true king.

The fact that Li Yuan received the news could only mean that the two apostles had found the true king of the Ocean Empire!

"002, how do you solve this problem?"

How do I solve this?

Li Yuan remained silent, as if waiting for something.

At that moment, Mo's expression suddenly changed slightly.

"Heavenly Lord, five and six have fallen."

What?

Inside the King of the Deep Sea.

The bodies of the two apostles lay on the ground, one of them headless.

The two kings of the Ocean Empire sat on their thrones, with Atlas's father, King Cthulhu of the Ocean Empire, holding a pale, winged human head in his hand.

He was over ten meters tall, making him appear exceptionally tall within this vast palace.

Meanwhile, the queen, who was also over ten meters tall, lay on her side on the throne, licking the bits of flesh off her fingernails.

"Your Majesty, you were right. They did indeed come to assassinate us."

Cthulhu crushed the head in his hand, and blood surged up with the seawater, gradually covering his upper body.

"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, it's futile and overestimating one's own strength."

It is estimated that no one would have thought that the most powerful unit of the Ocean Empire was neither a commander nor the Son of the Twin Kings, but the two kings themselves.

There's a saying that goes, "When did they come to the misconception that the Ocean Empire didn't have a fourth-tier power?"

The Ocean Empire already had a fourth tier, but no one knew it.
