No sooner had he finished speaking than the Tyrant's Herald launched a fierce attack.

A dark red energy ball condensed in his palm.

The energy sphere spun and expanded in the air, emitting a deep, groaning sound, like the core of a star.

Terrifying heat radiated from the energy sphere, igniting the surrounding plants and air.

As if receiving some kind of signal, the cosmic creatures hovering in the sky emitted sharp screechs and pounced on the Silver Surfer from all directions.

Silver Surfer reacted quickly, dodging the first wave of impact by sidestepping.

His body instantly transformed into pure liquid metal, sliding to the left at a speed beyond the limits of human vision.

Dark red energy grazed past him, striking a distant, collapsing building and blasting it into a shower of lava.

After dodging the attack, Silver Surfer began to counterattack.

He swung his hand, and silvery-white Cosmic Energy formed an arc-shaped blade of light.

The blade of light spun and accelerated, slicing all the cosmic creatures that rushed towards it in half.

Fragments of the creature's body drifted in the air, like torn petals that didn't belong to this world.

"That's all you're capable of," Silver Surfer mocked.

The Tyrant's Herald let out a cold laugh.

His arm swelled and thickened in an instant, forming a dark red energy shield.

The oncoming light blade struck the shield, producing a sharp, ear-piercing sound.

After the collision ended, cracks appeared on the shield, but the defensive energy shield did not shatter after the light blade dissipated.

"Your attack is too weak," the Tyrant's Herald retorted.

After saying that, he removed the energy shield and clasped his hands together.

Dark red energy condensed between his palms into a miniature object, resembling a dark red star.

He pushed forward with all his might.

This star rotates and expands in the atmosphere, releasing a force close to gravity that pulls all the surrounding debris, as well as the cosmic creatures that have been cut in half, toward its center.

Silver Surfer's starlight pupils contracted slightly.

He raised his hands, and silvery-white Cosmic Energy formed a giant mirror.

When the dark red star struck the mirror, it produced a deep, resonant sound, like the collision of two Galaxy.

The mirror trembled violently, seemingly reaching its limit, and the entire body of the Silver Surfer trembled along with it.

"You can't stop it," the Tyrant's Herald said confidently.

He's a strength-based character, so he's not guaranteed a win against Silver Surfer, who's an agility-based character, in terms of sheer power.

Silver Surfer remained completely calm.

"Who said I had to block it?"

The protective mirror suddenly shattered, and these fragments spun and recombine in the air, transforming into countless silver-white light blades that simultaneously slashed at the Tyrant's Herald from every direction.

At the same time, the Silver Surfer transformed into a flash of light, dodging the oncoming dark red star.

The Tyrant's Herald's eyes widened suddenly.

The lightning-fast blade struck him with a one-in-a-thousand chance.

His armor shattered instantly, Metal Fragments flew in all directions, and his massive body was sliced into dozens of pieces by the light blades.

In the next instant, the shattered body reassembled in the air, transforming back into the Tyrant's Herald.

He didn't appear to be visibly injured, but he had indeed suffered a setback from Silver Surfer's attack.

The Tyrant's Herald stood still, looking at the Silver Surfer, his eyes, which were like molten lava, becoming serious for the first time.

You've become stronger than before.

"I've seen many things clearly, and I've let go of the burden in my heart, so I can act even faster now," Silver Surfer said.

The Tyrant's Herald shook his head.

"You think you can defeat me just because you're faster? I was just careless." The Tyrant's Herald was unconcerned.

He raised his hand, and the dark red energy condensed once more.

"Let's try again."

The condensed energy blasted towards the Silver Surfer.

This time, Silver Surfer did not dodge.

The liquid metal on his body surface instantly transformed into celestial bodies.

He charged forward, and silvery-white energy extended and wove around him, forming a huge White Hole.

The White Hole crashed head-on into the Tyrant's Herald's dark red energy.

BOOM!!

A massive explosion occurred.

The purple sky was illuminated by the explosion.

The light from both suns paled in comparison to the explosion, and the remaining cosmic creatures hovering in the sky scattered and fled in the shockwave.

All the construction debris on the ground nearby was blown away in an instant.

Spider-Man was propelled backward dozens of meters by the powerful shockwave. He crouched on the ground, bracing himself with one hand while the other transformed into a nano shield to protect himself.

"Wow, this is what a fight Herald of Galactus? This is more exaggerated than any movie I've ever seen. Should I step back? I think I should step back."

He somersaulted backward several times, trying to retreat to a more distant place, but after thinking about it, he retreated to Russell's side instead.

If the Planet beneath our feet were to explode, the safest place would undoubtedly be next to this man.

Russell stood beside him, hands in his pockets, looking as casual as if he were watching a less-than-interesting performance.

"Russell," Spider-Man turned his head, "Are you sure we don't need help? Silver Surfer seems to be about the same as this guy; after all, they're both Herald of Galactus."

"He doesn't need help." Russell shook his head.

Are you sure?

"I'm sure, let Silver Surfer handle it himself."

Meanwhile, in outer space, inside the command center of the Shi'ar Empire Warship, Korath was staring at the main screen.

The battle between the two Herald of Galactus on the screen plunged the entire command cabin into a near-suffocating silence.

"Two Herald of Galactus," Korath whispered, "Fighting on our Planet."

He paused.

"Continue monitoring, and simultaneously transmit the footage back to headquarters, informing them that a conflict has arisen between the two Herald of Galactus, while we sit back and watch them fight."

Meanwhile, on the ground in Kree Lal, the battle between the Tyrant's Herald and the Silver Surfer continued.

The Tyrant's Herald emerged from the aftershocks of the explosion, his armor mostly shattered, with liquid metal reforming and coalescing on his body.

The lava in his eyes was shimmering intensely, as if he were excited.

"Again."

Looking at his old rival, Silver Surfer felt a pang of pity for the first time.

"You think you can gain Galactus's approval by defeating me?"

"Isn't that so?" The Tyrant's Herald chuckled.

"Lord Devourer of Galactus will surely reward me for defeating you, you traitor."

He raised his hand, Cosmic Power vibrated through space and time.

"You want to be Heroes, but you are destined to be a failed messenger. The Cosmic Power was bestowed upon you by Lord Galactus, and you will forever be a part of Lord Galactus."

Silver Surfer looked at the Tyrant's Herald.

"I know," he said calmly. "I don't need to be Heroes; all I want now is to avoid being his tool."

"Commander Korath, another... another important discovery."

Inside the command center, the communications officer reported in a trembling voice:

The man with his hands in his pockets in the picture is... Russell.
