How to confirm whether a creature is completely Phyrexian? For most ordinary people, as long as they observe whether the target's skin is peeling off and whether it is covered with a large amount of metal or inorganic matter, they can basically confirm it.
But this is obviously not rigorous, and it is easy to include those who can still be saved in it.
Especially since the residents of Mirrodin have the habit of transforming themselves, so this cannot be used as a basis for judgment.
What's more, Shuoyou also possesses a very special ability similar to "hive thinking". According to changes in the environment and enemy tactics, it can create spies that can break the opponent's blockade and isolation.
These Phyrexian creatures look no different from real people on the surface, but if you shine an X-ray on them, you can immediately find a large number of strange structures made up of densely packed metals and inorganic materials inside their bodies.
Therefore, for the residents of the Iron City who are experienced in struggle, there is a simpler and more direct way to confirm whether a group of refugees who want to come in have been completely infected by the oil and are beyond help.
That is to use a very thin and very long needle to pierce the heart from the chest.
If it is blocked by something hard, it means that its heart has been replaced by a scorching oil engine, and it is 100% a new Phyrexian spy who wants to lurk in and infect.
By the same token, if black oil is found on the tip of the needle when the needle is inserted into the heart and then pulled out, then the person is also beyond saving.
Even Melile, who was able to clear the infection with the oil to a certain extent, was powerless against the oil that had infiltrated the heart and brain.
As for the dangerous act of piercing the heart with a needle, which may cause cardiac arrhythmia and sudden death, it is nothing in the current situation where survival is severely challenged.
After all, no matter what race it is, anyone who can survive in Mirrodin, a cruel world where most of the area is covered with metal, has physical fitness far stronger than their counterparts or close relatives in other worlds.
Among them, those who use metal to strengthen their bodies without anesthesia are all "ruthless people".
So for them, a heart-piercing wound as small as a needle is nothing.
Some crazier tribes would even insert metal tubes into their hearts, and then use the magic of this world to directly connect them to their arms or thighs, so that the muscles in their limbs could gain more powerful explosive power when needed.
"Survival of the fittest" is a phrase that reveals the cruel survival of the fittest in natural selection. It can be said that it has been reflected to the extreme in the time and space of Mirrodin.
If a newborn baby is not strong enough and there is a high probability that he will not survive to adulthood, his mother will abandon him within a few hours.
Because in this world, getting food is a very dangerous and difficult thing.
No tribe would ever allow the already scarce food to be wasted to feed a useless person who could not fight, hunt, or do heavy physical labor.
However, for Zuo Si, confirming whether a creature is "non-Serendipity" is not very difficult.
Just try to use the power of the great devil to extract the soul and see if the other party reacts.
After all, the biggest feature of Phyrexian creations is that they have no souls at all.
But when he came in front of Grissa, Zuo Si was momentarily shocked to find that the condition of this Dark Azure elf was much more complicated than he had expected.
First of all, she was indeed infected by the oil as expected, and the infection was very serious. Even the most important organ in her body, the heart, was replaced by the oil engine, and her blood vessels were completely turned into oil pipelines.
There wasn't a drop of blood in it, just black grease.
It can be said that except for those Demon Judges who stand at the pinnacle of rule, Zuo Si has never seen the internal structure of any New Phyrexian creature that can utilize the spark oil so efficiently.
But the interesting thing is that there is some powerful mysterious force protecting Grisha's soul, so that even when more than 90% of her body is completely "perfected", her soul still does not completely leave her body.
Of course, this protection is not without limits.
If the infection and transformation progress reaches 100%, she will still become a soulless creature like other high-level Phyrexian creations, and may even become a member of the Judge.
Secondly, Zuo Si also discovered that the sparkling oil in Grissa's body at this moment was not one kind, but three or even four kinds.
The most primitive and largest of these must be the original Phyrexian Oil that seeped out from the heart of the silver golem Karn.
Following closely behind is about 35%, which is composed of "biotic bacteria", a by-product of localized oil.
The third part, which is less than 10%, is the new oil that Wabasi quietly sneaked into the inner core of Mirrodin and secretly put in for secondary infection.
In addition, the mixture of the above three types of sparkling oils is producing wonderful and incredible changes in the process of repeated mutual infection, and is forming a fourth unprecedented light silver sparkling oil.
The reason why Grissa fell into a coma and has not woken up yet is because different types of spark oil "hive minds" are fighting for dominance.
Her soul did not leave her body because the new oil played a role in absorbing and protecting the soul to a certain extent.
Although Zuo Si did not know yet what the current situation of the several demon judges led by Ailenon deep in the earth's core was.
But it has been 100% confirmed from Grisha's case that the secondary infection has already begun unknowingly.
No wonder New Phyrexia's attacks on Mirrodin have been noticeably weakening in recent times.
It turned out that the Demon Judges were not planning any conspiracy, but there was a problem with the core of their existence - the Shuo Oil.
It can also be said that the new oil is slowly replacing the old oil and taking control of this metal-dominated space and time under our feet.
When the infection is complete, Zuo Si will become a true god of Mirrodin, just like the deceased "Father of Phyrexia" Yawgmoth, and will also be the creator and absolute ruler of the New Phyrexia forces.
And Kahn, a special construct created by the ancient planeswalker Urza, which is said to be composed of the heritage, artifacts and super weapons of the Thran civilization, will also become his property.
In particular, he has been coveting the "Tong Zhao" for a long time, which can instantly tear apart a planet and even its affiliated space-time and has a power greater than that of trillions of Tsar hydrogen bombs exploding simultaneously.
"Interesting... Let me see what is hidden in your body or soul."
Zuo Si ignored the nervous looks of the Dark Azure elves around him, and calmly put on special gloves made of Melila's blood and part of her hair, which were specially used to prevent accidental contamination by old oil during disassembly and experiments. He gently tore open Grissa's metal shell that was a mixture of red copper and dark gray.
moment!
A huge engine completely immersed in black, bubbling oil was exposed, instantly causing the crowd of onlookers to collectively gasp.
Whether it was the Dark Azure elves who regarded this woman as a hero and savior, or the other races who had once received her kindness, they all couldn't help but show expressions of sadness, pain, and despair.
Although they couldn't accept it emotionally, they also knew that a person's body being transformed into this state was undoubtedly 100% hopeless.
Several people who were suspected to have had contact with Grisha couldn't help sobbing and shedding tears.
Zuo Si didn't care at all about the reactions of the ordinary people watching. Instead, he concentrated on casting detection magic and searching for things that interested him in this body.
After a while, he took out something that looked like a silver translucent sphere from the deepest part of the mixed structure of flesh and metal near his lower abdomen.
Although it didn't look very big when it was just taken out, it was only slightly larger than a tennis ball.
But after being exposed to the air, it began to expand rapidly, eventually taking on a giant sphere with a diameter of one and a half meters.
The outermost layer is like a smooth mercury mirror, which can clearly reflect the shadows of everything around it.
After its size was fixed, this thing emitting dazzling magical light began to release an invisible force, affecting every creature that saw it.
It was a strong desire to get it! It was also an irrepressible desire for possession! Whether it was Zuo Si himself or the originally respectful refugees around him, without exception, they all had the urge to take possession of the sphere.
fortunately!
Zuo Si was extremely wary of this kind of spiritual and mental influence. He immediately regained consciousness through the protection and divine power he had built, and cast a powerful spell to shield the energy released by the sphere.
Just one second later, the rest of the people who were affected also came to their senses and began to tremble uncontrollably on the spot.
"What the hell is this?!"
梅梨莱满脸都是震惊与恐惧之色。
左思抿起嘴角浮现出毫不掩饰的喜悦，意味深长的回答道：“如果我没猜错的话，它应该就是大名鼎鼎的【映奇宝珠】。
一种可以百分之百复制一切魔法、造物，甚至是让某个区域魔法能量瞬间翻倍的神器。
秘罗地曾经的管理者，被你们视作毁灭暴君的蒙纳坷，就是用这玩意制造出来的。
它拥有难以想象的强大力量，同时也是所有施法者乃至旅法师都渴望得到的宝物。
我想格莉莎的灵魂之所以坚持了如此长的时间，八成是【映奇宝珠】的功劳。
在上一次秘罗地大事件结束后，这个时空的创造者卡恩把蒙纳坷变回了【映奇宝珠】，并将其交给格莉莎与史罗巴保管。
而且眼前这个【映奇宝珠】内还残留着一颗火花的余烬。”
作为最有名气的神器之一，【映奇宝珠】的力量有多么惊人？ 别的不说，光是能够直接通过支付相应颜色的法术力复制一切魔法这点，就足以证明其对于施法者的价值。
注意！
是一切魔法！ 如果按照费伦大陆的施法体系来举例，就是无论奥术还是神术，也不管是零环到九环、还是在此之上的传奇魔法，统统可以自动实现“超魔技巧——法术孪生”，并且还能在此基础上迭加其他超魔技巧。
试想一下，当别人可以释放一个法术，而你可以释放两个的时候，这在最顶级的法术决斗中将占据多么恐怖的压倒性优势。
尤其是那些威力巨大的传奇魔法，连续两个瞬间砸下来，估计哪怕是拥有惊人生命力的龙王也扛不住。
另外，这种复制不仅包括自己施展的法术，同样对魔法物品、卷轴也起效。
这也就意味着获得【映奇宝珠】之后，再使用储法类物品、欣布法术序列器此类一口气释放海量法术对敌人进行轰炸的时候，效果将在原有的基础上直接翻倍。
“所以……这个被烁油侵染的女精灵还有救？”梅梨莱用不是很确定的语气问。
很显然，这位红发少女关注的重点从始至终都不在【映奇宝珠】上。
因为她虽然也勉强学习了一些法术，但却并没有什么野心，对于眼下的生活状态也非常满意。
左思轻轻摇了摇头：“不，来不及了。
她的灵魂虽然还在，但已经被分散存储在部分烁油之中，想要完整的提取出来几乎是不可能做到的事情。
但好消息是，她可以在某种程度上保留自我意识，而不是变成那些受到魔判官们操控的傀儡。”
“你打算怎么处置她？”
心地善良的梅梨莱眼神中明显带着一丝不忍。
“很简单，先送到实验室关起来，防止格莉莎体内那些不受控制的烁油流出来感染到其他人。至于剩下的事情，等她醒过来之后再说吧。”
说罢，左思抬起手打了个响指。
啪！ 伴随着清脆的响声过后，几个外表如同金属魔像，但实际上是已经被新烁油完化的无灵魂构装体从实验室内走出来，把这位上次拯救秘罗地时空所有生物的女英雄拖了进去，顺手将地上残留的烁油也清理得干干净净。
一名看上去比较年长、像是部族首领的暗碧族精灵站出来，小心翼翼的询问道：“主人，格莉莎会活下来吗？”
“当然。虽然可能跟你想象中那种活着有些区别，但我向你保证她的灵魂会在新躯体内获得重生。”
左思不假思索的给出肯定答复。
“只要能活下来就好。谢谢！真是太感谢您了！”
长者带着一大群精灵跪下来行了个五体投地的大礼，随后便迅速转身离开，前往他们在钢铁之城内部的聚集地。
眼见危机已经被妥善处理，其余种族也都纷纷在部族首领的指挥下有条不紊的撤离，该干嘛干嘛去了。
毕竟他们还要靠努力工作来换取生存所必须的食物、干净饮用水，所以没时间在这里浪费。
等人群全部散光，左思这才启动火花连结和共鸣的独特能力，注入法力值把【映奇宝珠】内残留火花的余烬重新点燃，使其变成一颗LV1的旅法师火花吸入自己身体。
不用问也知道，这个火花就是格莉莎当初在危急时刻点燃的那颗。
后来在卡恩用其力量完成复活之后，它的力量几乎就被耗尽了，只剩一点点余烬残存在史罗巴的体内。
当离开地心遭到袭击时，史罗巴临死前把这颗火花余烬塞进【映奇宝珠】归还给格莉莎。
如果没有左思的干涉，按照原本的剧情，这颗火花余烬应该会随着格莉莎被“非瑞化”彻底熄灭。
但现在，它成了左思成功收集到的第三颗旅法师火花。
至于属性，不用问也知道肯定是倾向于绿色。
介于这颗火花从诞生以来就一直在不停地易主，而且每一任主人的持有时间都非常短，根本来不及去制作任何卡牌。
因此里边空空如也，干净的就如同许多人的钱包跟银行卡一样。
就在左思想要询问一下狩猎队，究竟是从什么地方找到格莉莎的时候，看了半天戏的艾紫培·提瑞终于忍不住开口询问道：“您就是索斯，这座城市的领主和国王？”
“我的名字是索斯没错。但我怎么不知道自己是这里的领主或者国王？”左思挑起眉毛反问了一句。
艾紫微微一愣，下意识回答道：“可这里的居民都管你叫主人或者大人。他们尊敬你、爱戴你，认为是你拯救了所有逃难至此的民众，并且给了他们工作和维持生存所必须的食物、饮水。”
左思嗤笑着摇了摇头：“不，你错了，那只是难民们基于错误认知产生的错误判断。
我可从未承认过自己是这片土地的领主，也从从来没有颁布过哪怕一条法律、规矩，更没有宣称自己是国王。
你所看到的这座钢铁之城，其实完全是由受到新非瑞克西亚攻击逃难至此的人们自己修建而成。
规矩与法律也是各种族推举的首领相互商量，在基于一个彼此都能接受的普世价值观、道德观上建立。
我所提供的，仅仅是用工作来换取生活必须品这一点，并且在最初的时候惩罚了一些想要通过掠夺来快速发展壮大的部族。
我从未承诺过要保护这座钢铁之城，对这里的民众也没有任何义务跟责任，只是在单纯保护实验室不会受到敌人的攻击。”
听到这番话，艾紫培整个人都惊呆了。
因为她简直不敢相信，眼前这个被自己视作整个秘罗地时空唯一“世外桃源”的地方，竟然没有领主、国王或者是任何统治阶级。
可即便如此，钢铁之城内部却丝毫没有半点混乱的迹象，反而在所有难民的共同维护下秩序井然。
既没有扒手和小偷，也没有任何欺压弱势群体跟抢夺事件发生。
没有谁可以坐享其成或者剥削他人的劳动成果。
所有人都必须通过努力工作来换取自己需要的东西。
如此接近于绝对公平的社会环境，是艾紫培在其他时空旅行的时候从来没有见到过的，所以对于建立了这一切的左思不可避免产生了极为浓厚的兴趣。
但是现在，当得知真相之后，她整个人都陷入了一种强烈的不真实，同时在内心之中涌现出一股无法用语言形容的荒谬感觉。
为什么？ 为什么在很多时空，统治者明明竭尽所能都无法实现的理想社会状态，却在这里没有任何外界干涉的情况下轻而易举做到了？
不理解！ 想不通！ 激烈的思想碰撞让艾紫培站在原地半天都没能从嘴里蹦出半个字。
“怎么，你想不通吗？”
左思一边摆弄着【映奇宝珠】，将其体积缩小到只有掌心大小的程度，一边头也不回的问。
“请务必告诉我原因！”
艾紫培弯下腰深深鞠了一躬。
感受着掌心【映奇宝珠】所蕴含的强大力量，左思耐心的解释道：“其实原因很简单。
这些难民在逃往这里的时候基本都处在一种身无长物、一无所有的状态。
换个容易容易理解点的说法，他们都是彻头彻尾的无产者，连自身生存都没办法保证。
而在这个时候，我给了他们唯一的生路，即通过劳动来换取食物和饮水。
为了活下去，难民们根本没有任何选择的余地，只能按照我的吩咐去从事劳动。
When I got the food and drink for the first time after the work was completed, I successfully established a contract of mutual trust with them.
As long as we work hard, everyone can survive and live better than before.
Gradually, when those who arrived first, have better physical fitness and work harder begin to accumulate wealth, they will seriously consider how to ensure the safety of their property.
Perhaps in the beginning when the number of people gathered was relatively small, they needed the help of my military deterrence to warn those tribes that were accustomed to making a living by looting.
But as the number of refugees increases, laws and rules improve, and more and more people need to protect the safety of their property, the Steel City will form a strong social consensus.
At this time, anyone who wants to rob or steal will be subject to the most severe punishment.
Most importantly, all of these necessities of survival, whether food or clean drinking water, are consumed every day without being produced.
And the only way to get it consistently is to work for me.
As long as I don't exploit and enslave these refugees ruthlessly or suddenly cut off their supply, they will always be in a very stable and almost absolutely fair social environment.
Because apart from me, no one can truly control wealth and resources, let alone hold on to power for a long time and use it as a tool to pursue personal gain.
So don't think that this is achieved through some clever means or wisdom.
Just the opposite!
Normally, people who can do this can be called tyrants or end-productive people.
Believe me, if such a guy appears in a country or even in the world, it is probably not a good thing. "
"Are you saying in disguise that you are not a good person?"
The expression on Elspeth's face was very strange, as if she was looking at a monster.
Zuo Si nodded expressionlessly: "That's right. I suggest you don't have any unrealistic fantasies about me, and don't think that I am selflessly saving these refugees. I am different from you. I have a strong purpose in doing everything."
Hearing this, Elspeth burst out laughing and teased in a half-joking tone: "Okay.
In my life, I have met many hypocrites who claim to be kind and righteous, but do dirty things secretly.
But you are the first one who admits that you are not a good person when you first meet someone, but actually helps others.
Regardless of your motivation, it is an incredible and great act of kindness to keep so many people suffering from the ravages of war alive.
Although I'm not quite sure what means you use to continuously transport sufficient food, drinking water and other daily necessities from other time and space.
My name is Elspeth, Elspeth Tirel, a planeswalker seeking a quiet retreat.
Nice to meet you, Mr. Soth, who is not a good person."
“I don’t particularly want to meet you, Lady Elspeth Tirel.”
Zuo Si pretended to be embarrassed.
It was obvious that from the moment they met, he was using all kinds of psychological techniques to induce the other party to inevitably develop a strong curiosity about him.
As for the purpose, of course, it is to quickly improve the relationship between each other, and by the way, study the [Chengyang Sword] that is powerful enough to kill gods.
Of course, this sword was not called this name before it was reforged by Heliod, the sun god of the time and space of Theros.
Instead, it should be called the [Sword of Chaos].
However, the power contained within it that is enough to harm the essence of the gods has already existed.
"Oh? Why? Have we met before?"
Elspeth asked in an uncertain tone.
Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and responded, "Although I have never met you, I have heard of your name. Before coming to Mirrodin, you must have lived in the Bant Fragment World in the Alara Plane for a long time, right?"
"Yes."
Upon hearing the name "Bant", Elspeth's originally bright pupils suddenly dimmed.
Because that place dominated by white mana is full of order and friendship, the relationships between people are also very simple.
Once upon a time, she thought that was the ideal retreat she had been looking for.
But who would have known that this wonderful life would completely disappear as the five fragmented worlds merged into one.
As mana of other colors poured in, the people living in Bant were no longer as innocent as before, but gradually became evil and full of desires.
Coupled with the secret manipulation of the old dragon Nicol Bolas, the battle that broke out between them reminded Elspeth of her painful experiences in her childhood, so she finally chose to leave.
"If you don't mind, could you tell me what happened in Alara while you were away?"
Zuo Si asked in a deliberately casual manner.
No doubt he wanted to know whether Nicol Bolas's plan to devour the world's energies had succeeded or failed.
"I'm sorry, but I don't know much about Alara.
But according to another leonine planeswalker, Ajani Goldmane, he has already identified the mastermind behind the conspiracy.
If you want to know more, you can go and ask him yourself.
At least in my opinion, Alara did not end up in destruction, it was just that the magical energy became a little thinner than before.
Especially the black, red, and blue mana, which have been reduced by about half."
Elspeth concealed nothing and told all the information she knew in one breath.
"Half?"
Zuo Si keenly grasped the key words and instantly realized that Nicol Bolas had most likely succeeded.
You have to know that this is a world with plenty of mana.
This means that the old dragon has gotten rid of his weakest state and has once again become the terrifying and intimidating Dragon Lord.
Just with the energy he absorbed, he is able to defeat more than 99 percent of the new generation of planeswalkers.
Apparently, Elspeth had no idea what Nicol Bolas was planning, so she asked subconsciously, "Any questions?"
“No, nothing.
By the way, you probably haven’t had anything decent to eat for a long time, right?
How about I treat you today and let us have a delicious and sumptuous meal together?"
A barely perceptible light flashed in Zuo Si's eyes, and he quickly changed the subject.
Melila, who was standing by, swallowed her saliva immediately after hearing this, clapped her hands excitedly and shouted, "Great! Great! I haven't tasted such a delicious dish in a long time!"
"Don't you want to know me? Why did you invite me to dinner? Wouldn't it be better to just kick me out?"
Elspeth stared into Zuo Si's eyes with great curiosity.
Under the latter's carefully designed guidance, she now really wanted to figure out what kind of person this young planeswalker in front of her was and why he always gave her a different feeling.
"Drive you away?
Now the entire Mirrodin is undergoing an unprecedented upheaval.
Those who call themselves the Inquisitors of New Phyrexia are waging war everywhere.
Unless you choose to leave this space and time, there is simply no other place to go.
There was not even any food to eat or water to drink.
Let's go, even if we have to leave, we have to fill our stomachs first."
After saying that, Zuo Si pretended to be very casual and patted Ai Zipei on the shoulder, then walked straight into the living area inside the laboratory.
When Ai Zipei sat down at the dining table, thinking that the so-called "big meal" would require at least an hour or two of waiting, she suddenly saw a dazzling white light emitting from Zuo Si's hands, while he was muttering some syllables that she could not understand.
The next second...
Countless sumptuous dishes, fruits and drinks directly covered the more than ten-meter-long table.
The pungent aroma and fresh taste that hit her face made her dazed for half a minute. Then she shuddered and opened her mouth to ask stutteringly: "Is this... is this some kind of creation magic? No! Should I say that magic can really create such rich and perfect food?"
“Its name is Hero’s Banquet, and it is a high-level divine magic bestowed upon priests by the gods in my world.
Before the meal begins, please allow me to say a few words of blessing as the host.
Welcome to Mirrodin, Lady Elspeth Tirel, and bon appétit.
I hope you can find what you are looking for here.”
After saying this, Zuo Si raised the glass filled with wine, clinked it lightly with the other party's, then put it to his lips and took a sip.
The moment the dark red liquid entered the mouth and came into contact with the tongue, an indescribable taste filled Ai Zibei's mouth, making her unable to hold back and directly drink the full glass of wine. A faint blush immediately appeared on her fair face.
She swore she had never tasted such a delicious and addictive wine.
However, in order to hide her embarrassment, the female planeswalker quickly forked a piece of steak into her mouth and took a bite.
moment!
The tender meat and delicious sauce almost made her swallow her tongue.
At this moment, Elspeth finally understood why Melira was so happy to hear about the feast.
This kind of food created by magic is simply not something that an ordinary chef can make.
Even if your cooking skills are up to par, it may be difficult to find good enough ingredients and the numerous condiments.
Following the principle of not eating when someone invites you, Elspeth and Melila soon turned into foodies, specifically picking out those things that could bring the ultimate enjoyment and stimulation to their taste buds, and occasionally exchanging dishes to see which ones tasted better.
Zuo Si only stayed for a symbolic moment and soon stood up, said goodbye and walked out of the closed laboratory.
When he arrived at an empty and deserted place outside the city, he immediately stopped and turned around to stare at the dark corner, and asked in an emotionless tone: "How long do you plan to hide?"
The next second...
A man with a terrifying rose-colored light flashing in his eyes, his right arm and most of his body completely transformed into a metal mechanical structure, and one could even see his planeswalker spark exposed and flashing wildly.
And those metals are the specialties of the Alara plane - etherium.
Without a doubt!
There is only one planeswalker with this special appearance, and that is the genius artificer - Tezzeret.
However, this guy's current condition is a bit miserable. Not only did he suffer the memory cleansing of Jace Beleren, but he was also used and exploited like a pawn by the old dragon Nicol Bolas.
"I came to Mirrodin on the orders of my master to investigate the extent of the infestation of the Glow Oil and the threat level of New Phyrexia."
Tezzeret made his purpose clear.
With his blank memory and cognition, he had no idea who the guy in front of him was. He instinctively felt that he was a planeswalker working for Nicol Bolas, just like himself.
"So what? What does this have to do with me?" Zuo Si asked calmly.
"I need your help. Especially the girl named Melila, who seems to be immune to the infection of the oil and has the ability to remove the oil from other people's bodies. Give her to me, I want to do some experiments."
Tezzeret made the request bluntly.
In his opinion, the other party had no reason to refuse.
But Zuo Si sneered contemptuously after hearing this: "Haha, who do you think you are? You actually want to ask me for something without paying any price?"
"What do you mean? You're not going to cooperate with me?"
Tezzeret's face suddenly became extremely gloomy and dangerous.
You know, he is not a good person.
Back in the plane of Alara, he fought a battle with Nicol Bolas at his weakest, and almost overturned the old dragon with the huge mana gained from the fusion with the Grixis Fragment World.
"I'm a simple person. If you want to take something from me, you can either exchange it with someone or something I think is valuable enough, or you can defeat me and take it from me. Which one do you plan to choose?"
As he spoke, Zuo Si raised his hands and assumed a fighting stance. Horrifying magical energy gathered around his body in just a few seconds.
"Hmph! Very good! Then I will beat you into submission! Be careful, I will hit you hard. If you die accidentally, you can't blame me."
A ferocious expression suddenly appeared on Tezzeret's face. He raised the arm that had been transformed with etherium and slowly pulled out an extremely thick arc of energy, then swung it fiercely towards Zuo Si.
Snap! After a crisp sound, he saw a layer of gold that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye forming a layer of protection in front of the opponent, perfectly blocking his attack.
Etherium Shield?! Tezzeret was shocked to see this kind of spell that only spellcasters from his hometown were good at in Mirrodin.
After all, etherium is a very rare, expensive, and uncommon substance even in its place of origin, Alara.
Many spellcasters spend their entire lives just to obtain an etherium heart and then enter the Supreme Being to become one of them.
"You seem surprised?"
There was a hint of teasing in Zuo Si's tone.
"Where did you obtain the etherium and related spells?"
Tezzeret demanded, his eyes narrowed.
“Of course it’s Alara.
Is it possible that there is a second time and space in this universe that produces such interesting magical metal as etherium?
Foolish and ignorant fool, today I will let you see the insurmountable gap between you and me.
Remember, be more polite and respectful next time you speak.
Otherwise I wouldn't mind ripping your body apart, digging out your spark, and informing Nicol Bolas that he can find a new servant."
As the last word came out of his mouth, Zuo Si suddenly opened his arms and took out a huge amount of Yi Jin from the bag he was carrying, forming an extremely huge and complex structure around himself.
“This…how is this possible!?”
Tezzeret was stunned.
He even slapped himself in the face to make sure he wasn't dreaming or hallucinating.
You have to know that in order to collect the Yijin needed to transform his body and arms, he spent countless efforts and did many small tricks in private before he finally collected enough money.
But now, a stranger could easily come up with dozens or even hundreds of times the amount of gold.
From the skillful and delicate manipulation, it is not difficult to judge that the other party knows 100% about the magic of Yijin.
The problem was, Tezzeret was certain that this young planeswalker was not one of the higher-ranking members of the Order.
"Be careful, don't die, I'm going to hit you hard too."
Zuo Si drew terrifying red mana from the mana pool, and then injected it all into the huge and complex Etherium spell structure.
Before Tezzeret could react, blinding red light converged from the countless etherium threads to the front of the entire structure, forming a ball of energy emitting a destructive aura.
Since red mana originally represents destruction, chaos, passion, and impulse, it is often far more terrifying in terms of impact than the other four colors of mana.
“Damn it!”
Tezzeret realized that this attack was no small matter and broke out in a cold sweat. Without even thinking, he quickly activated several cards hidden in his palms.
In the blink of an eye, four layers of gold shields appeared in front of him one after another.
Just when this guy wanted to activate more protective spells, Zuo Si fired out the red ball of light.
The energy ball flew out at a speed faster than the speed of sound, crashing directly into the Etherium shield in front of Tezzeret and propelling it thousands of meters into the air.
The speed was so fast and the brightness was so high that even the residents of the Steel City mistakenly thought it was a meteor passing by, and they stopped to watch.
After rising to a certain height in about ten seconds, the red energy ball that had been kept stable by the Etherium device showed its most terrifying side.
Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The scorching flames, shock waves, and bright light like the sun directly swept over and covered the area with a radius of two to three thousand meters above the head.
The deafening sound continued to echo in the hollow interior of Mirrodin, making people unable to help but cover their ears and squat on the ground with painful expressions.
By the time it was all over, Tezzeret was long gone.
To be precise, at the moment when the last metal shield was destroyed, the planeswalker spark was directly activated and escaped from this world.
Zuo Si used his actions to teach the planeswalker a lesson: never, never, never try to compete with him in terms of resources or artifacts.
Of course, the reason why he was so tough was that he wanted to keep the secret of the new oil, at least not let Nicol Bolas know about it at this stage.
Melila's bloodline and physique are very special. It can be said that she is the biggest nemesis of Shuoyou, without a doubt. Therefore, she must not fall into the hands of others no matter what...
(End of this chapter)
