Chapter 486: The Trial from New Phyrexia (10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)



At close range, you can clearly see the terrifying black spikes extending from his back spine to replace his head, as well as the large number of red tentacles ejected from under the heavy armor on both sides of his shoulders.

Almost every one of them is as thick as a real arm, and has an unusually sharp barb at the end.

As for the real head, it was completely embedded in the chest where the heart originally belonged, wrapped in countless red muscles covering the huge skeleton, and underneath was a gleaming oil engine that constantly emitted a deafening roar.

The hips, legs, forearms and fingers are also covered with black armor of almost the same material as the shoulders.

It is not difficult to tell from the huge size and unique appearance that this is not an ordinary New Phyrexian cannon fodder, but a leader selected by Shuoyou for super transformation.

To be precise, it is one of the "Seven Steel Lords" of the black faction in the Manfi Swamp in New Phyrexia, the famous demon lord - Azax Azog.

The so-called "Seven Steel Lords" actually represent the seven most powerful New Phyrexian creations in the black mana faction.

Since the Manfei Swamp was the first area in the Mirrodin time and space to be infected by the Shimmering Oil, it was almost synchronized with the Hollow World Core.

Therefore, Ailenon had no time to make any restrictions at that time, resulting in Shuoyou continuously selecting and creating Demon Judges with independent thinking, consciousness and ruling power.

In this wild growth environment, the Manfei Swamp gave birth to a large number of individuals qualified to be promoted to Demon Judges in a very short period of time.

These individuals then began to kill each other, madly seizing each other's power and territory, and eventually merged into seven powerful lords.

They are Demon Lord Azax Azog, who was a powerful demon before his completion; Deep Lord Krenokos, who was born first and in charge of the underground oil pipeline;

Roxis, the corrupt lord who hates all flesh and wants to exist in a purely mechanical way; Trick, the usurper lord who is so crazy that he wants to reshape the entire New Phyrexia by creating disasters and destruction; and Ulan, the blood lord who was a vampire in his previous life and was proficient in assassination and ambush;

The necromancer who used to rule the Marsh of Manfi, now the Lord of the Vault, Geth;

The last one is the most powerful female Dark Judge Sheored, who is more adept at using wisdom and tactics. Her well-developed intelligence network covers almost the entire Mirrodin.

So among the forces in New Phyrexia, the Black Faction is the most powerful, even more outstanding than the White Faction led by Ellenon.

But the disadvantage is that no one is willing to submit to anyone else, and it is fortunate that they don't fight each other. There is no way for them to unite and face the outside world together.

"Die! You lowly creatures who dared to reject the great and perfect evolution of New Phyrexia!"

Azax Azog suddenly raised his arms and a large number of red tentacles, and smashed towards Zuo Si who was close at hand at lightning speed.

As the one who is most enthusiastic about fighting, killing, conquering and destroying in the black faction, he believes that with his current speed and the terrifying explosive power granted by the Shining Oil Engine, he only needs one blow to eliminate the fragile human in front of him.

The huge head that looked like a skull embedded in the chest showed an extremely cold and cruel smile.

But just a second later, the guy realized how serious the consequences would be if he rashly approached a planeswalker of unknown origin.

The waving red tentacle suddenly hit a wall that was invisible to the naked eye when it was about to hit. It immediately exploded under the violent reaction force and turned into flying flesh and blood.

You must know that as a Demon Judge, Azaks Azog's red muscular tentacles made of special materials can easily dismember a behemoth dozens of meters high, and even tear and break the hardest steel plates and steel bars.

Even if you throw it into a crusher, it won't necessarily be damaged at all.

But now it was blocked by an invisible wall.

What was even more terrible was that he himself also crashed into it 0.01 seconds later. The red muscles and ribs on his chest, which were not protected by any metal shell, were smashed to pieces in an instant, and the two huge and heavy armors on his shoulders were severely deformed in this violent collision.

The arm that he subconsciously stretched out to act as a cushion and the tentacle on the other side were also broken and turned into meat paste.

The shiny oil in the body splashed everywhere like raindrops.

But not a single drop could penetrate the transparent wall and affect Zuo Si who was concentrating on casting a spell on the other side.

You don't need to ask to know that this is not a rare spell at all. It is the [Wall of Force] that arcane spellcasters in the continent of Faerun like to use most to deal with pure physical attacks.

Although it only has five rings, it has many advantages that other spells cannot match.

For example, it can bounce back 100% of the force applied by the other party.

If it is a close-range slashing or piercing, the worst that can happen is that the palm will become numb and the wrist will suffer some damage.

But if you hit a force wall at high speed, the consequences will be much more serious.

In the mildest case, the head will burst and several bones will be broken, and in the worst case, the person will be crushed to death.

The result of a supersonic collision like that of Azax Azog would naturally be broken bones and tendons all over his body.

If it weren't for the hard metal shell on the surface of the body acting as a buffer, the internal structure of the body would have long been metallized and completely controlled by the oil system. It would probably have turned into a pool of rotten meat by now.

But even so, it wasn't much better.

After his wings were broken and his oil-burning engine was severely damaged, he fell straight to the ground like a meteorite, making a loud bang.

This sudden change not only stunned the nervous Elspeth and the refugees, but also stunned several other black faction demon judges who were hiding behind the huge army and commanding.

After all, as one of the “Seven Steel Lords”, the individual strengths between them would naturally not be too different.

But what they never expected was that the demon lord Azax Azog was defeated in just one round of fighting.

Moreover, the main body was severely damaged, and it would take a while to be repaired by the oil.

"What kind of spell was that just now?"

The cellar lord, Geis, who was hiding in the rear, narrowed his eyes and asked.

Since he used to be a necromancer, his understanding of magic is much deeper than other judges, and he is also extremely vigilant.

Xiorin, who had secretly formed an alliance with her, took two steps forward while controlling her body, which was a beautiful mature woman on the upper half and a giant multi-legged insect on the lower half, and answered in an uncertain tone, "I'm not sure either.

But this planeswalker who calls himself Soth and builds this steel city to collect refugees seems to have mastered a lot of strange magic that we have never heard of or seen before.

He once used a green magic light in battle, and any New Phyrexian creation that was illuminated would be instantly decomposed into powder.

There is a similar invisible blade that can easily cut through the bodies of our most powerful creations.

And according to the reports from the spies, there seems to be some kind of power here that can be immune to the infection of the sparkling oil.

I think it is precisely because there are so many unknowns that Elenon asked us to mobilize the army and launch a full-scale attack."

"Do you believe what Ellenon said?"

Geis frowned subconsciously, obviously full of distrust for this great monk who claimed to be the leader of New Phyrexia and was above all the judges.

After all, fundamentally speaking, they are all creations born out of the Shuo Oil, not the masters of the Shuo Oil, and there is no so-called distinction between high and low.

Whoever is stronger can take his place and become the de facto leader of New Phyrexia.

Therefore, each Demon Judge secretly has his own ambitions and plans. Gathering together to form the so-called Demon Judge Council is merely maintaining a superficial unity. Secretly, each of them is equivalent to a separatist warlord and lord.

“Trust Ellenon?

Don't be ridiculous! I have long seen through her attempts to undermine the control of other factions.

But now is not the time to turn against her. We need to lie low and wait for the best opportunity.

But although Ailenon is not trustworthy, it does not mean that Jinjitasha's research report is not worthy of vigilance.

After all, whether it is this mysterious planeswalker or the power he possesses that can resist the infection of the sparkling oil, it is a huge threat to New Phyrexia.

So this action is not only for Elenon, but also for ourselves."

As she said this, Xiole's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a smile full of temptation and feminine charm.

If you ignore the spider-like round abdomen and the huge and sharp sickle-like limbs in the lower body, the sexy curves of the upper body covered with an unknown substance like a black tights are sure to attract many suitors.

In particular, the entire face above the eyes is completely wrapped in black mesh lace, leaving only large areas of white skin on the nose, lips, cheeks and chin exposed, full of a unique sense of mystery and attraction.

From the perspective of normal human aesthetics, Xiole is obviously much more beautiful than Elenon.

"Jinjitasha's research report..."

Gai Si fell into deep thought for a moment, and at the same time he raised his head and stared at Zuo Si who was standing in the air in the distance and continued to chant the spell as if no one was around.

From the magical energy that was constantly gathering and condensing in the air, he could clearly feel the power that this horrifying spell would produce, but he did not rush forward to interrupt it as recklessly as Azax Azog did.

Because in Gaisi's view, this attack was originally a test and intelligence gathering.

What's more, several other Demon Judges from the black faction, including himself, were hiding in the rear, at least 1,500 meters away from the city wall, so there was no need to worry about being affected.

But the problem is that the Lord of the Dark Cellar obviously underestimated the scope and power of the legendary magic.

The moment Zuo Si finished chanting the last syllable, the sky, which was originally located at the edge of the chrome copper forest and was affected by the green mana core sun, was instantly covered by a strange red color.

Before the Ning tribe cannon fodder who were launching a frantic attack after completing their transformation could react to what was happening, a terrifying firestorm descended from the sky, sweeping over everything within a three-kilometer radius like raindrops.

Aside from the city itself and its towering steel walls, the rest of the New Phyrexian black faction's army and the Judges who commanded and controlled them were all caught off guard by the sudden large-scale attack.

The parts close to the periphery were still barely able to drag their bodies, which had been melted by the flames, and escape to the outside.

But those who rushed to the front were soon engulfed by wave after wave of fire rain.

The muscle part was quickly burned up, while the metal and inorganic parts melted into boiling red liquid.

There are no words that can describe this apocalyptic and horrifying scene.

Moreover, the rain of fire seemed endless. It continued for more than ten minutes. Even though there were no living New Phyrexian creatures in the affected area, it still showed no intention of stopping.

Even the flying units in the sky fell to the ground under the continuous attack of the rain of fire and were eventually swallowed by the boiling metal lake.

Yes!

You read that right!

Under the influence of long-term high-temperature fire rain, the metal ground outside the Steel City has completely melted into lakes and rivers, becoming an insurmountable natural barrier.

Having suffered heavy losses, Geis and Xiorelle did not even hesitate and immediately chose to retreat with the remaining men.

They are not fools. Seeing this situation, they would foolishly let their men rush forward and die.

There is no doubt that the name of the legendary spell that Zuo Si successfully cast was [Flame Rain].

Even among many legendary magics, its range of influence is one of the largest, and it lasts for a full twenty hours.

This means that once it is successfully deployed, the area within the affected area will be bombarded by fire and heavy rain for nearly a day and a night, and the damage to the environment will be almost devastating.

If the target is a city, then that city is basically doomed.

No building can withstand twenty hours of torrential fire without being reduced to ashes, not even the reinforced concrete jungle with a complete fire protection system in modern society on Earth.

The molten steel and magma will continue to spread outward, eventually causing violent explosions in natural gas pipelines and gas stations.

Fortunately, Zuo Si used the archmage's advanced arcane ability - Shape Control, to set up the Iron City to be unaffected by magic, thus avoiding accidental harm to his own people.

Coupled with the replication effect of the Magic Orb, the density of the Fiery Rain within the affected area doubled directly, and hundreds of thousands of New Phyrexian legions were wiped out in the blink of an eye.

Obviously, this is the terrifying deterrent power that a legendary wizard can have in a large-scale war.

As long as they want, they can cause horrific casualties and destruction in a very short time at any time.

Ordinary people are as fragile as ants in front of legendary magic.

You should know that the difficulty of learning the legendary spell [Flame Rain] is not high, probably less than half of [Soul Collapse Singularity]. It is a little simpler than the satellite launch spell [Nail into the Sky] and a little more difficult than [Mummy Dust].

Most legendary mages can learn this skill and perform it within one minute.

Looking at Zuo Si who was standing in the sky like a god, and the rain of fire outside the city wall that showed no sign of stopping, all the refugees knelt down after a brief silence to express their gratitude and obedience to this supreme ruler.

Because the former provides them not only with food and water to sustain life, but also with powerful military protection.

In Mirrodin, which has been severely infected by the Shining Oil, the City of Steel has become the last hope and pure land.

To be precise, almost all intelligent creatures in the entire space and time that can still be classified as living people are concentrated here.

As for other places, although it cannot be said that they were completely wiped out, they were usually hiding in groups of families or small tribes. They might be captured by the New Phyrexian forces at any time and subjected to cruel transformation.

"Soth! You came back just in time! In a few days, I'm not sure if I can withstand the onslaught of those New Phyrexian creatures."

When Zuo Si slowly descended from mid-air to the ground, the planeswalker Elspeth was the first to rush up and give him a warm hug.

Melila ran over from a distance, following closely behind, her eyes filled with undisguised joy.

"Don't underestimate yourself. I believe you can do it. But what's going on with these guys? Why did they suddenly besiege the Steel City?" Zuo Si asked with interest, touching his chin.

Elspeth uncrossed her arms and shook her head with a wry smile: “I’m sorry, I’m not sure what happened.

But what is certain is that the forces of New Phyrexia should have no other enemies in this time and space, so they have set their sights on us.

I understand Phyrexia, and I understand even better the goals of those who have been devoured and transformed by the Glow Oil.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will soon try to launch a second attack and will never give up until this nail is pulled out."

"You mean... New Phyrexia has completed its infestation of most of Mirrodin?"

A look of surprise appeared on Zuo Si's face.

Because according to his previous calculations, it would take at least one or two years for New Phyrexia to complete the infection of the entire space-time.

Could it be that my calculation was wrong?

Or has something happened inside the space-time? It seems necessary to take some time to contact the spy planted inside, the one who was transformed by the new oil and has now become the Red Magic Judge, Wabasi.

Elspeth, who had a deep hatred for Phyrexia, was obviously unaware of Zuo Si's plan for Mirrodin, and thought that he was worried about the safety of the Iron City, so she immediately explained, "I don't know whether the infection of the entire plane has been completed.

But what is certain is that they have set their sights on this place.

Additionally, Melira's ability to clear Shock Oil infections is a potential concern.

If New Phyrexia discovered and confirmed her existence, they would certainly kill her completely at all costs.

Oh, I almost forgot to introduce you to some new friends.

They are planeswalkers like us."

As she spoke, Elspeth turned around and pointed at a man covered in metal and rock not far away.

"His name is Kos, a survivor of the Vashuk Hammer tribe, and the second native planeswalker born in Mirrodin."

"Hello! Nice to meet you. In this city of steel, I have seen many Vashok compatriots who have survived thanks to your kindness and protection. You are our benefactor."

Kos grinned and stepped forward to greet him.

Like most Vashuk people, he has a very straightforward personality, giving people the impression that he is careless and brainless.

But if you observe carefully, you will find that this is a natural leader who is both rough and meticulous.

At least he has a high prestige among the Vashuk people.

"Nice to meet you too."

Elspeth then pointed to a hooded man with short hair next to her and continued to introduce him, "This is Venser who came with Koth. He is an inventor and artificer who once worked with the ancient planeswalkers to repair the time rift. He came here to find the creator of Mirrodin, the silver golem Karn who is worshipped as a god by the New Phyrexian forces."

“你好,索斯,我听说你在很早以前就来到了这个时空。如果可以的话,能给我提供一些关于新非瑞克西亚和卡恩的消息吗?”

凡瑟语气中带着无法掩饰的急躁。

因为他在成为旅法师之前的工作,就是搜集约格莫夫时代非瑞克西亚对多明纳尼亚时空发动全面入侵失败后,遗留下来的大量战舰、构装体、战争机器残骸,从中找到有用的零件打造传送装置,然后出售给需要的客户。

所以非常清楚非瑞克西亚的烁油侵蚀速度究竟有多么可怕。

尤其是对于像卡恩那样纯粹由金属结构组成的银魔像。

左思不加思索的回应道:“当然,我非常乐意提供力所能及的帮助。

不过你最好有个心理准备。

因为现如今新非瑞克西亚的领导者艾蕾侬,已经把卡恩视作新非瑞克西亚之父,甚至还以此创立了一个宗教。

据我所知,他们每天都在给卡恩泼洒烁油。

而且当初克撒制造卡恩时所使用的那颗心脏,也在源源不断的流淌出烁油。

秘罗地之所以会变成这个样子就是源自于此。”

“什么?!你是说……卡恩创造了这个时空,同时也是这个世界被烁油污染的源头?”

凡瑟明显是第一次听到如此劲爆的秘密,整个人顿时震惊的张大嘴巴,半天都没能回过神来。

左思认真的点了点头:“是的。你知道克撒当初为什么会制造卡恩吗?”

“为什么?”

凡瑟此刻的大脑已经处于一片混沌状态,下意识问了一句。

“因为愧疚! 克撒曾经认识一名叫做珊迦的非瑞克西亚人,一种被赋予了自我意识和独立思考能力、外表几乎跟普通人没什么区别的合成人。

他没有性别,被创造出来的作用就是对其他时空进行渗透,为非瑞克西亚的入侵提供便利。

但这位珊迦却十分痛恨约格莫夫和控制自己的非瑞克西亚势力,因此主动选择背叛与克撒进行合作。

但克撒被仇恨蒙蔽了双眼,再加上其性格中的狂妄自大,最终导致珊迦为此献出了生命。

为了弥补内心之中的愧疚,也为了铭记自己犯下的错误,克撒最终选择用珊迦的心脏制造了银魔像卡恩,并且把大量破坏力惊人的上古遗产保存在里边。

也就是说,他内心之中其实是想要与珊迦一起,完成对约格莫夫乃至整个非瑞克西亚的复仇。”

左思非常干脆把这段不为人知的秘密抖落出来。

毕竟克撒已经死去多年,而这位上古旅法师留下的遗产卡恩也即将成为他的所有物。

“不!不对!既然卡恩是用非瑞克西亚人的心脏制作而成,那他以前为什么没有被侵染腐化?”

凡瑟仿佛想要抓住最后一根救命的稻草,用十分激动地语气大声质问。

左思微微叹了口气回答:“因为修补时间裂隙。

还记得时间大法师泰菲力和无数上古旅法师为拯救整个宇宙所支付的代价吗?

所有旅法师的火花在此之后都不可避免的劣化了。

在此之前,克撒可以凭借其上古旅法师宛如神明一样的力量,轻而易举抵挡烁油的侵蚀。

所以那个时候的卡恩完全不用担心心脏内烁油的问题。

后来克撒在临死前把自己的火花送给了卡恩,因此后者也获得了上古旅法师的强大力量,甚至还缔造了秘罗地时空的前身——古银。

可随着火花的劣化乃至消失,卡恩体内的烁油终究还是溢出了。

这也是为什么他千方百计也要返回秘罗地,并进入整个时空的核心把自己封印起来。

所以如果你想要拯救卡恩的话还是省省吧。

他现在早就已经不是你认识的那个卡恩,而是新非瑞克西亚之父,即将成为第二个约格莫夫的可怕存在。”

伴随着这番话脱口而出,凡瑟整个人瞬间崩溃了,扑通一声跪在地上双手捂脸,仿佛无法接受这个噩耗。

毕竟对于他来说,整个宇宙中最重要的两个人就是时间大法师泰菲力和银魔像卡恩。

前者的身份更像是一位老师,而后者则是亲密无间的朋友。

当然,左思之所以这样说就是为了让凡瑟打消前往秘罗地核心的念头。

因为没人知道卡恩现如今的状态,就连整天守在旁边的艾蕾侬也不例外。

要知道在原本的时间线上,这个特殊的银魔像就凭借自己强大的意志力与信念,硬生生撑了很长一段时间。

现如今,他的体内不光有承载着原始烁油的心脏,同时还有被注入体内的新烁油。

两者交织在一起相互吞噬、转化,天知道究竟会发生什么。

除此之外,左思对于那颗传承自传奇旅法师克撒,并且遗失在时间漩涡中的火花同样也非常非常的感兴趣。

他觉得只要控制了卡恩,并从其记忆中寻找关于遗失火花的部分,就能想办法前往时间裂隙中找回那颗失落的火花。

“不!我不相信卡恩会变成怪物!我要去地心深处找他!”

凡瑟猛然间从地上爬起来,眼神中透出一种毫无理智的疯狂。

对于他的这种过激反应,左思仅仅是耸了耸肩帮:“无所谓,反正我又不会阻止你,但你也别指望能从我这里得到任何帮助。因为现如今钢铁之城的情况也不乐观,我们没有精力去管其他的事情。”

可凡瑟像是没有理解这句话的意思一样,转过头直勾勾的盯着梅梨莱。

“这个女孩必须跟我走!她的能力可以祛除烁油的侵染,肯定能帮到卡恩。”

“不行! 你可以拿自己的生命去冒险拯救朋友,但绝对不能拿别人的生命开玩笑。

梅梨莱是这座钢铁之城居民抵挡新非瑞克西亚进攻的关键,我绝对不允许她的生命受到一丝一毫的威胁。”

左思毫不客气拒绝了凡瑟的无理要求。

虽然在原本的剧情中,这家伙和寇斯一起带着梅梨莱成功进入秘罗地核心,而且以牺牲自己为代价成功拯救了卡恩。

甚至还顺手大闹了魔判官议会。

但问题是,这一路上所遭遇的危机绝对不是三言两语能说清楚的。

以梅梨莱眼下这种手无缚鸡之力的状态,但凡冒出来个非瑞克西亚杀手,都能轻而易举将其送上黄泉路。

最重要的是,左思并不知道这个女孩免疫和祛除烁油侵染的能力,是不是会随着死亡一起彻底消失,哪怕使用神术复活也不能恢复。

所以他不能去赌,也不敢去赌。

“混蛋!你难道就没有一点同情心吗?”

凡瑟显然急眼了,语气和动作都变得充满了侵略性。

但下一秒……

他就发现有一只带着铁手套的大手不知何时,以迅雷不及掩耳的速度掐住了自己的脖子,并将整个人提起来双脚离地。

强烈的窒息感和血液流通不畅,顿时让这名旅法师脸色变得通红且发紫。

可无论怎样挣扎、如何试图掰开那铁钳一样的手指都无济于事。

此时此刻,左思那双黑色的瞳孔里早已没有了任何笑意和温度,反倒是充满了令人感到恐惧的深邃,用不带一丝感情的语气发出最后警告:“不许打梅梨莱的主意,听懂了吗?回答我!听懂了吗?”

伴随着这句话,手指的力度开始不断加大,仿佛要活生生把对方脆弱的脖子掐断。

要知道在消化了恶龙之神提亚玛特的神力之后,左思所有的基础属性都上升了五点,现如今的力量属性可是有整整七十。

别说是眼前这位主要靠脑子和技术吃饭的旅法师,就算是冰霜巨人、云顶巨人来了也照样能靠蛮力按在地上反复摩擦。

而且七十点的力量属性远远不是最大极限。

身为地狱领主,他还能抽调能量通过施展类神力让自己发挥出远超正常人理解的恐怖力量,比如说直接把一颗星球或是一个位面拉近和推远。

“该死!快松手!凡瑟要被你掐死了!”

眼见凡瑟已经开始翻白眼并明显失去了意识,艾紫培立刻冲上来阻止了悲剧的发生,并一口气丢了好几张治疗法术的卡牌。

尤其是看到前者脖子上那恐怖的手印,还有差点粉碎性骨折的脊椎,她简直不敢想象自己要是晚一点结果会怎么样。

“别担心,我下手有分寸,他不会死的。而且就算死了,我也有办法能把他复活。”

左思满不在乎的撇了撇嘴。

一旁的寇斯听到这句话,嘴角立刻不受控制的猛烈抽搐。

作为擅长移动巨石和山脉、粉碎岩壁、净化矿物质跟金属的旅法师,他原本对于力量相当有自信。

But after witnessing the legendary magic [Flame Rain] released by Zuo Si, as well as the terrifying muscle strength he unintentionally displayed when dealing with Venser just now, he suddenly felt that if a fight really broke out, he would be knocked down in minutes.

This is also the reason why Kos did not help when Venser was almost strangled to death.

He understood that if he took action, the situation would only get worse, so it would be better to wait for Ai Zipei, who had a better relationship with Zuo Si, to come forward.

In addition, he also felt that Venser's desire to take Melira away was a bit too selfish.

After all, without this little girl who can remove the infection of the sparkling oil, the refugees of the Iron City would not be able to hold on for long and would be transformed into minions of New Phyrexia under constant infection.

Just like that, what was originally a good meeting of planeswalkers ended with Venser being strangled to death by Zuo Si.

Since there was still a constant rain of fire outside, the Steel City obviously did not need too many people to guard it in the short term.

A small number of guards were left to stand guard, while the rest of the refugees, who had been fighting for a long time and were already exhausted, returned to the square to cook food, sing and dance, and celebrate this hard-earned victory.

Zuo Si was also very generous and asked the warehouse to take out more meat and alcoholic beverages to reward these tenacious and resilient residents of Mirodi, which immediately triggered thunderous cheers.

However, he did not attend the banquet himself, but returned to the laboratory with several planeswalkers.

According to the old rules, Zuo Si first used magic to summon a table of heroes' banquet, and then ate and talked with Melila, Kos and Elspeth.

As for Venser, although he had woken up under the effect of healing magic, because of the conflict between the two just now, he was too embarrassed to come over to eat and drink for free. He could only sit aside and watch others eat, swallowing his saliva continuously while smelling the fragrance.

In the end, the kind-hearted Elspeth couldn't bear it anymore, so she picked up some food and a can of wine and brought them over.

Venser said thank you in a very low voice and then began to stuff the food into his mouth voraciously.

You have to know that in Mirrodin, Zuo Si's place is almost the only place where you can eat normal food, and it is also the top-level hero banquet with magical effects.

Even for a planeswalker, unless he is willing to use the power of sparks to travel to other time and space for a meal, he can only starve or eat local specialties whose taste is hard to describe.

Returning to her seat, Elspeth finally couldn't help but ask, "Can't we go deep into the core of Mirrodin to see what's happening with Karn?"

"Do you know what the core of Mirrodin has become now?"

Zuo Si picked up an oyster and put it into his mouth, sneering and asking back.

"have no idea."

Elspeth sighed helplessly.

She also understood that this was obviously a bit too much to ask.

After all, the forces of New Phyrexia have already reached the doorstep of the Iron City. As the first space-time core to be infected, one can imagine the situation. It must be filled with countless oil-filled creatures.

"But the problem is that just defending the Iron City is not a solution! Only by dealing with Kahn can we solve the infection of New Phyrexia and the Spark Oil from the root."

Kos finished the pork elbow in his hand at a very fast speed and ate it with a greasy face.

But Zuo Si shook his head and retorted: "No, things have come to this point today, even if we succeed in rescuing Kahn it will be of no use.

Because the Council of Judges led by Ellenon has established effective rule within New Phyrexia.

This means that Kahn is no longer necessary.

And like I said, Karn's biggest problem is that the core that sustains his life is a Phyrexian oil creation.

This means that unless this core is destroyed, even Melila will not be able to eliminate a device that can continuously produce sparkling oil.

But destroying the core would mean that Kahn would also die completely.

Are you meeting Karn just to kill him? Or, are any of you prepared to sacrifice yourself and use the Spark of the Planeswalker to replace Karn's original core?"

moment!

Both Kos and Venser's expressions became extremely ugly.

As a new planeswalker, Kos obviously would not sacrifice his spark and life for an outsider.

Apparently, Venser wasn't mentally prepared for this.

In the original plot, the reason why he readily handed over the spark to Kahn was essentially because he knew that he was seriously injured and would not live long. Rather than dying in vain, it would be better to save a friend before he died.

Noticing the reactions of the two, Zuo Si's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of amusement that was not easily noticed by others, and he continued to speak: "As far as I know, New Phyrexia now has several powerful demon judges.

And each of them is practicing his own understanding of the oil and Phyrexia.

The power they possess is simply beyond your ability to contend with.

Especially the unparalleled infection ability of the Shuo Oil. Once captured, even the Planeswalkers cannot be spared.

Most importantly, have you ever thought about what it would mean to the entire universe if you were captured and became the subject of the Demon Judge's research?

Once they have mastered the technology to transform you completely without losing your spark, they can use the ability of the planeswalkers to travel through any time and space to infect thousands of time and space in the entire universe at the same time, spreading the spark oil everywhere.

If that really came to pass, Karn's efforts to come back with great difficulty and seal himself in Mirrodin would be completely destroyed.

And you...

They are all sinners!"

In order to make the two young men in front of him understand the seriousness of the problem, Zuo Si showed no mercy this time.

Because imprisoning New Phyrexia in Mirrodin is one of his important goals.

Otherwise, once the old oil begins to spread to other worlds, the new oil will never have the opportunity to completely swallow up the old oil, and a situation of two kinds of oil coexisting will be formed.

This is not what left-wing thinking wants.
