The most core area is called "Garden of Life", which is where the five core suns of mana, red, blue, green, black and white, were born. It is also the foundation for the entire world to operate.
This place can directly link with the dark void, and continuously absorb the original unprocessed chaotic energy inside and transform it into what time and space need.
If the "Garden of Life" is destroyed, the entire Mirrodin will collapse and perish.
Above this are the various environments and special terrains that are well known to local residents.
For example, the Chrome Copper Forest, the Mercury Sea, the Glittering Wilderness, the Manfei Swamp, the Furnace Layer, etc.
In fact, they are essentially layers wrapped around the core.
Each type of terrain is equivalent to being built on a thick hollow crust, with various channels connecting them.
Among them, the refugee camp established by Zuo Si - the City of Steel - is located in the middle of the chromium-copper forest and the adjacent level, the fourth layer from the surface.
Although many of these terrains are strictly speaking "underground", due to the five mana core suns, when local residents look up, they still see the same blue sky and white clouds as in the normal world.
However, after being severely infected by the oil, a large number of by-product bacteria burst out from the inside.
It can even be said that more than 50 percent of the world's internal structure is dominated by bacterial communities and oil pipelines.
These materials gushing out from the core area are expanding and spreading at an unimaginable speed until they completely engulf the entire space and time.
At this moment, inside the Garden of Life, the great monk Alenon, who stood above all the Magic Judges, was sitting on his own chair in the Magic Judges Council, inspecting the other Magic Judges who were present representing their respective factions.
Although she has no eyes, the area above her lips is completely covered by a huge white composite material shaped like a boomerang. Judging from the gloss, it is very similar to porcelain, but it is obviously much harder and should be some kind of synthetic metal.
The lower part, from the ears and lips to the neck, is all creepy red muscles and blood vessels.
The chest, arms, lower body, legs and feet were also covered with flawless white porcelain, except for the abdomen and lower back below the ribs, which showed large areas of red muscle without any skin covering them.
Through the textured muscles, you can clearly see the pipes inside that are connected to the oil engine.
No one knew for what purpose, but Elenon always wore a red silk ribbon as bright as blood around her waist, making her look like she was wearing a beautiful yet terrifying wedding dress.
Moreover, her words, deeds, and movements were full of an elegance that could not be described in words. She was not at all like other Demon Judges who were cold, cruel, bloodthirsty, and full of desire for conquest, destruction, and ruin.
In particular, the "Mechanical Orthodoxy" he founded personally advocates the perfect unity of metal and flesh and blood. It is neither biased towards pure machinery nor towards the fusion of flesh and blood. It can be said that it perfectly inherited the spirit of the first founder, Yawgmoth.
Most importantly, the archmonk understood the importance of unity very well, so he did not declare himself the supreme ruler of New Phyrexia, but instead praised Karn, the creator of the Mirrodin time and space and the one who brought oil to this world.
As a result, Karn was forced to become the father of New Phyrexia while completely unconscious.
As for Elenon, she humbled herself to become the mother of machines, second only to the emperor and above everyone else, and was also the true regent.
It has to be said that just from these two titles one can see that Elenon has an unreasonable fanatical obsession with Kahn.
In addition, she also founded an organization called "Kahn Apostolic Society" as the core of the church.
If Karn is ready to take the helm of New Phyrexia, these lunatics will follow his every order and demand absolute obedience from all the Inquisitors.
But if Kahn is unwilling to perform his duties, they will become jailers to prevent him from escaping from control, and record the crazy words spoken under the influence of the oil, and eventually distort and tamper with them into doctrines and dogmas.
The most famous statement of the "Kahn Apostles" is what was publicly said by the Chief Inquisitor - Katara.
"When the final truth is discovered, great peace will come to the world.
The sun in the sky and the ground beneath our feet will become a shining spire, and the Father of Machines will rule from its top.
Praise the whispers of the Inquisitor, the oil-soaked truth of the dogma, the inevitable fate of my father.
In other words, whether Karn likes it or not, he will inevitably become the leader of New Phyrexia.
This is because when Shuoyou was created, it was set up to have an absolute controller.
Otherwise, whether it is the Demon Judge or an ordinary creature, they will feel that the most important thing is missing and become extremely uneasy.
This can be seen from the current situation where each Demon Judge is independent in his own way and no one is willing to submit to anyone else.
Elenon is undoubtedly very smart, and she also sees the disadvantages of Shuoyou after losing its creator Yawgmoth.
There are two benefits to praising Kahn highly. One is to reduce the hostility and vigilance of other judges towards themselves and even the Mechanical Orthodoxy. The other is to use the political tactic of "using the emperor to control the princes".
After all, no one can deny that it was the Silver Golem Karn who created this time and space, and it was also he who brought the most important gospel to New Phyrexia - Shining Oil.
As for the current Demon Judge Council, its essence is to allow the perfected creatures to form a superficial unity first.
In this way, after getting rid of those ambitious and disobedient guys, Elenon can naturally annex their territories and subordinates, and finally complete the internal integration of New Phyrexia, thereby launching a war that sweeps across the entire multiverse.
But before that, she felt that these Demon Judges in front of her could still be put to good use.
Thinking of this, the Mother of Machinery slowly opened her mouth and asked in a slightly lazy voice: "Gai Si, Xiorui, as the executors of this test operation, don't you have anything you want to say?"
“I’m sorry, we don’t know what to say.
Because the enemies this time are completely different from the local residents of Mirrodin we encountered before.
Whether it is the opponent's behavior pattern or the complex magical power he possesses.
Apart from anything else, the raging fire and rain that lasted for a full twenty hours was enough to speak for itself.
Even the demon lord Azax Azog was severely injured in this operation, and it is still unknown whether he is dead or alive. "
Xiole spread her hands with a helpless look.
Although the seven steel lords in the black faction are not submissive to each other and each has their own subordinates and sphere of influence, she is the nominal Black Magic Judge and therefore must speak on behalf of the Manfei Swamp.
As for the ally Gaisi beside him, he often played the role of mediator and was not convenient to confront Elenon head-on.
Because in the process of being completed, Geth gained an ability that is very difficult to solve among Phyrexian creatures.
Anyone who signs a contract with him and violates the terms will immediately be mind-controlled and become a puppet.
This means that if there is a conflict between two lords or demon judges that needs to be mediated, Gesi will be the first choice.
After all, if anyone is unwilling to sign this contract, it means that he has something to hide, which will definitely arouse the vigilance of other lords or demon judges. If necessary, they can unite to put pressure on him and force him to make some concessions.
Therefore, Geth's position is very stable both in the black faction of Manfei Marsh and in the entire New Phyrexia system.
Unless he is seeking death himself, even Elenon will not touch him easily.
"You mean that the planeswalker of unknown origin will become the most difficult enemy we have encountered so far?"
The leader of the green faction, the brutal barbarians, Flink, couldn't help but interrupt.
This guy looks like a giant walking on two feet. His lower body is made up of strong and powerful hind limbs, and his upper limbs are as sharp as dragon's claws. He even has two small hands on his abdomen. His head is wrapped in a white exoskeleton mask, and his terrifying mouth is full of densely packed fangs.
As the most powerful of all the Demon Judges, he advocates the law of the jungle, natural selection and evolution. His main sphere of influence is in the Chromium Bronze Forest, and his ruling style is very loose and rough.
Therefore, there has been no contact with the refugee camp established by Zuo Si for the time being.
In other words, even if some contact occurred, the Green Demon Judge might not know about it.
In his eyes, who worshipped primitive power, taking down a mere gathering place formed by the indigenous rebels of Mirrodin was a piece of cake.
These guys from the black faction are a bunch of trash and weaklings. If it were me, I would have dealt with them long ago.
It has to be said that Flink’s way of thinking fully reflects the characteristics of the green faction - a group of violent and evil savages, and is also the kind of enemy that Zuo Si likes most.
"That's right! If you don't believe me, you can go and try it yourself. If you get hurt, don't blame me for not warning you."
The corners of Xiorri's mouth curled up slightly, and she began to encourage this simple-minded but strong-limbed green devil judge.
After all, in terms of pure strength and individual combat effectiveness, Flinkai is definitely the best among all the Demon Judges.
Even Archmonk Elenon would most likely be defeated in a one-on-one fight.
Therefore, the insidious and cunning Dark Judge hopes to instigate the enemy to attack the Steel City to see if he can collect more useful intelligence.
Compared to Flink, the blue judge of wisdom, Jinjitasha, was much calmer. He fiddled with his sharp silver metal fingers like hooks and asked with interest, "Have you confirmed the key points in my last report? Did that interesting planeswalker really master the ability and technology to resist or even remove the oil to a certain extent?"
Xiorin answered without hesitation: "The answer is yes.
During the offensive, we discovered that the refugees would carry those infected with the oil to the rear.
After a while, these infected people will return to the city wall intact and continue fighting.
This means that the other party has 100% mastered the method of removing the infection from the shiny oil.
While it is uncertain to what extent this approach can be successful, it poses a threat to the expansion of New Phyrexia.
My suggestion is to concentrate your forces and find a way to launch a surprise attack in a short period of time to destroy this settlement, and then kill or capture the unknown mage.
Otherwise, once he extends this method to other time and space, our expansion and conquest plans will be greatly hindered."
"Launch a surprise attack? That's easy for you to say.
That steel city has very complete defense facilities, and can even detect our bionic spies with 100% certainty.
In the absence of any means of sabotaging from within, the cost of a frontal attack is extremely staggering.
Especially this horrifying fire rain magic, once successfully cast, it will last for a full twenty hours.
Even those of my soldiers who are most resistant to high temperatures would find it difficult to charge across a distance of two or three kilometers to attack the city wall."
The newly recognized Red Demon Judge, Wabas, sneered and expressed his disdain.
As a planted spy, he had been paying close attention to the reactions of Kahn, Elenon and several other Demon Judges, and he knew very well that these guys had been infiltrated by the New Shuo Oil.
However, the amount is still relatively small nowadays, so the new Shuoyou is not in a hurry to replace it, but is constantly devouring and transforming it internally, trying every means to strengthen itself.
Most of the rest of the time, they remain in a semi-sleeping state, silently waiting for their master to wake them up one day, and then complete the final counter-infection and seize absolute control of the entire Mirrodin and New Phyrexia forces in one fell swoop.
And Wabas will replace Elenon and become the leader of the new Demon Judge, second only to the emperor.
The most important thing is that as long as he completes this task, he will gain a complete soul of his own, and will no longer be just a body with independent consciousness and thinking like he is now.
Of course, this is not an easy task.
Because anti-infection takes time.
As a blue magic judge who is keen on technological research and development, Jinji Tasha seems to have discovered the existence of new oil and is working on analyzing it.
Once he discovered the difference between the two types of oil, the covert counter-infection would evolve into an all-out civil war among the forces of New Phyrexia.
The old and new Shuoyou will inevitably fight to the death, and in the end only one side can survive and gain control of Mirrodin.
Although Wabas has been secretly using the secret army formed by Xin Shuoyou to constantly fight against the armies of other Demon Judges, secretly collecting the knowledge and technology mastered by the other side, allowing Xin Shuoyou to continue to grow and improve itself in this small-scale war.
But if a full-scale war breaks out, the strength he currently possesses is not enough.
There is a high possibility that he will be beaten to death by the other Demon Judges.
It is also because of this that, rather than engaging in direct combat, Wabas prefers to create conflicts within the New Phyrexian forces so that Elenon and Jingitashya cannot concentrate on dealing with him.
The ambitious black magic judge, Xiole, was the important chess piece he chose to contain the two.
It can be said that none of the people present in the entire Demon Judge Council are easy to deal with.
Everyone has their own intentions, ambitions, and wishes in their hearts, and even their understanding of Phyrexia is completely different.
If it were any other organization, it would have been disbanded or in civil war a long time ago.
But the sparkling oil created by Yawgmoth just glued them together.
Whatever the Inquisitors may think, their loyalty to New Phyrexia is unquestionable.
"So, according to you, we are just going to watch the steel city stand right under our noses and do nothing?" Xiole asked with her chin slightly raised.
Wabas shook his head slightly: "No! What I mean is that we must be fully prepared and not act rashly.
Great Mother of Machinery, I hope you can allocate more resources to me.
Let me use the high temperature of the furnace layer to train a group of high temperature resistant troops.
This way, the enemy's fire magic won't be able to completely block our attack like it does now.
In addition, I think it is best not to continue to provoke the enemy during this preparation period, but to pretend to have completely given up in order to reduce the enemy's vigilance. "
"Okay, I approve."
Elenon agreed without even thinking about it.
On the one hand, there is indeed a need in New Phyrexia.
On the other hand, the current Wabas is no longer the rebel who always disobeyed orders in the original plot.
After becoming an ace spy, he has always been respectful and obedient, and even won the title of "Loyal Dog of Ellenon".
In the eyes of most Demon Judges, this is a die-hard bootlicker of the Mother of Machinery, with no dignity or independence at all.
Little did they know that all this was a false illusion created by Wabas to confuse the enemy.
He is the most ambitious of all the demon judges and the one who most desires to make Elenon kneel down and lick his toes one day.
"Thank you very much! Don't worry, I will definitely not let you down this time."
The Red Demon Judge stood up and bowed respectfully.
"I trust you!"
Elenon pursed her lips, which were not covered by any skin but only a layer of red muscle tissue, and a chilling smile emerged.
Especially the sharp teeth wrapped under the red lips, which really did not match her elegant movements, posture and voice, and filled with an inexplicable sense of incongruity.
However, this is also one of the characteristics of the White Force of New Phyrexia, that is, the completion process requires the skin to be completely peeled off, exposing the underlying muscles.
It is said that this is done to awaken the primitive fear of blood and brutality in the living beings' instincts. At the same time, the flawless white composite metal like white porcelain has a solemn and dignified morbid beauty.
Seeing that Wabas had snatched away the tasks and resources that originally belonged to her, Xiole immediately became very angry.
It's just that she was very shrewd and didn't show it immediately, but continued to maintain a faint smile.
This kind of flexible and patient character is also her most terrifying feature.
Just as several Demon Judges were preparing to end today's routine meeting, a violent energy wave suddenly came from the huge throne in the core area.
The next second...
boom!!!!!!!!
With a loud bang, Kahn, who was originally sitting on it, suddenly stood up without any warning.
The guys from the Kahn Apostles Society around were torn into pieces by the terrifying force almost in an instant, and there was no value in even putting them together again.
"What's going on? What happened?!"
Jinji Tasha suddenly stood up from his chair and stared at Kahn not far away with a vigilant look.
Unlike Ellenon, he and several other judges had no respect for the father of New Phyrexia. Instead, they wanted to either dismember him for scientific research or simply kill him once and for all.
"Don't be nervous! I'll go check out the situation!"
Ailenon obviously noticed the other Demon Judges' eagerness to make a move and immediately ordered them to stop all actions.
He took graceful steps onto a circular aircraft and flew straight towards the huge throne.
Unlike his usual muddleheaded and gibberish state, Kahn now appears quite sober. He lowered his head and looked at his body and said self-deprecatingly: "Has it come to this?
It seems that I really made a huge mistake.
Maybe I shouldn't have gone with Teferi to repair the time rift, but to protect Urza's planeswalker spark.
如果为了阻止一场可怕的灾难进而又引发了另外一场更可怕的灾难，哪怕前者的举动再高尚又有什么意义呢？
真想不到当初克撒倾其所有才好不容易击败的非瑞克西亚，竟然因为我的存在又一次死灰复燃了。”
“你这是在缅怀过去吗？父亲！”
艾蕾侬从天而降，摆了摆手示意旁边的手下先不要急着泼烁油。
“你就是被烁油选中的新非瑞克西亚势力领导者？”
卡恩上下打量着这位大修道士兼机械之母。
作为跟随克撒一起干过约格莫夫和老非瑞克西亚的人，他自然能一眼就能分辨出魔判官和普通烁油改造生物之间的区别。
艾蕾侬微笑着摇了摇头：“不，我只是暂时的代理人，您才是新非瑞克西亚之父，所有魔判官需要效忠的对象。
看看周围这些虔诚的子嗣，他们正在如饥似渴期待着您能从王座上走下来，领导我们完成旧非瑞克西亚未尽的事业，让整个多元宇宙都在烁油的帮助下完成进化与和谐统一。
这样一来，就再也不会有什么饥饿、疾病、纷争、战乱。
所有的生灵全部团结在一个思想、一个意志的支配下，以绝对秩序的形态存在。
而您本人，也将成为宇宙中至高无上的主宰跟神明。”
“哈哈哈哈！ 是啊！
凡是被烁油侵染的生物最终都会失去生命中最重要的部分，变成一具具没有灵魂的行尸走肉。
我可不确定究竟有多少人愿意以这样可悲的姿态活着。
如果不介意的话，能告诉我你休息的时候会做梦吗？ 在梦里又会看到什么？”
卡恩大笑着反问。
如果换成一个比较熟悉的人，此刻肯定能够轻易判断出这个银魔像的状态相当不正常。
因为身为构装体生物，他虽然被克撒赋予了疼痛和感知能力，但性格却始终比较平和，很少会产生情绪上的剧烈起伏。
但此时的卡恩却非常具有攻击性，眼睛里更是闪烁着骇人的红光而不是平时的淡黄色幽光。
毫无疑问，大部分被烁油完化的的新非瑞克西亚生物是不会做梦的。
毕竟他们心智锚定的是百分之百的现实，根本不会有人类那样所谓的想象力。
约格莫夫在对烁油进行设计的时候，就从根源上将这种不确定性的东西抹除掉了。
可问题是，在失去了约格莫夫的掌控之后，这些由烁油随机创造出来的魔判官，并不像旧非瑞克西亚那样“完美”。
或者说在精神和内心层面上，不管是艾蕾侬还是其他魔判官都拥有非常明显的弱点。
外在体现就是他们也会被挑衅所激怒、会对未来有恐惧、偶尔还会因为错误的决定而自我怀疑，甚至残留着部分作为生灵时的感情……
在境界与意志力方面，新非瑞克西亚的领导者们根本无法与主动放弃肉身拥抱烁油的约格莫夫相提并论。
后者从不自我怀疑、从不会对未来产生恐惧，而是坚信自己必将赢得一切战争的胜利，其经精神层面已经彻底神化，基本不会产生愤怒或是其他的感情。
“您似乎想要证明什么，对吗？父亲！”
艾蕾侬明显被激怒了。
因为她无法忍受被视作工具和棋子的卡恩用这种居高临下、宛如看待小丑一样的语气跟自己说话。
“不，我只是在确认在你那坚强外表下最脆弱的部分。
亲爱的女儿，你其实没有自己想象中的那么坚强。
这个所谓的机械正教和它那些可笑的教条跟教义，本质上不过是一种对别人和自己的催眠洗脑。
你试图利用这样的方式来安抚内心之中的不安，以及对于不确定未来的深深恐惧。
你自诩为机械之母，妄图在地位上与旧非瑞克西亚之父约格莫夫持平。
但实际上却连自己究竟是什么都搞不清楚。
你只是个烁油制造出来的可悲工具，距离成为它真正的主人还差得远呢。”
在说这番话的时候，卡恩的语气中明显带着一种轻蔑跟调侃。
而这瞬间引起了艾蕾侬的警惕，立马怒不可遏的咆哮道：“你根本不是卡恩！你究竟是谁？又是通过什么方法控制了我们的父亲？”
“啊！真是不容易，你终于发现了吗？我还以为作为新非瑞克西亚的领导者，你能在第一时间就看穿呢。”
银魔像摊开双手做了一个充满嘲讽的动作。
一个从王座上空俯冲下来的新非瑞克西亚生物想要协助艾蕾侬将他控制住。
但还没等冲到近前，整个身体就突然在半空中停顿了一下，紧跟着像失去控制一样砰的一声栽倒在王座旁边的高台上，身体也被硬生生摔成了四分五裂的碎尸。
哪怕是坚硬的金属白瓷，也在撞击中碎裂成几十份。
从体内流淌出来的烁油就像是受到了某种力量的控制一样，缓缓流向卡恩的掌心，看上去既诡异又恐怖。
因为除了创造者约格莫夫之外，这个世界上不存在第二个可以完全掌控烁油的人。
哪怕是新非瑞克西亚的魔判官，也没办法直接控制烁油，仅仅只是利用烁油的力量来让自身变得更加强大。
“不可能！！！！这一定是幻觉！是噩梦！你……你对我做了什么？”
艾蕾侬像疯了一样的冲上去。
但下一秒……
她就跟刚才那个摔碎的新非瑞克西亚造物一样，停滞在原地一动也不能动。
尤其是烁油引擎，仿佛一下子熄火了一样，无法像平时一样源源不断的提供动力。
“不，亲爱的艾蕾侬，这可不是什么幻觉和噩梦，而是就发生在现实之中。”
伴随着低沉的声音，卡恩缓缓走到近前，伸出手将烁油灌入对方的嘴里，紧跟着抚摸着被烁油染黑的嘴唇自顾自的继续说道：“你以为自己成为了新非瑞克西亚的领导者？ 你觉得自己掌控了烁油？
别天真了！
在烁油真正的主人面前，你们这些魔判官根本没有任何反抗之力。
比如说我现在下达一个命令——跪下！”
扑通！ 机械之母艾蕾侬应声双膝跪地，当着无数双眼睛的注视下摆出了一副五体投地的卑微姿态。
她根本无法控制自己的身体，甚至就连思维都出现了严重的混乱和冲突，仿佛脑子里有两个声音不断在嘶吼。
其中一个大喊别跪下去、起来反抗，但另外一个更大的声音则咆哮着让自己服从。
“现在你感受到了吗？这属于烁油真正主人才能拥有的力量！”
卡恩伸出完全由金属打造的手臂，捏着对方没有任何皮肤包裹的下巴，似笑非笑的问。
“你……你究竟是怎么做到这一切的？！”
艾蕾侬的声音在轻微颤抖，以彰显主人内心之中的极度不平静。
此时此刻，她的心理防线已经完全崩溃，并在心灵深处种下了一枚名为恐惧的种子。
因为她以前最为信任和依仗的烁油，现如今居然成为了一种巨大的威胁，甚至不费吹灰之力就瓦解了以机械正教为核心建立起来的统治体系。
“呵呵，你似乎很害怕？ 别急，这才仅仅只是开始。
好好享受最后的自由时光吧！ 用不了多久，真正的新非瑞克西亚之父就会降临！ 无论你们怎样挣扎、怎样反抗都没有任何用处！”
说完最后一个字，银魔像卡恩转身重新坐到身后的王座上，再一次低下头陷入了某种失去意识的休眠状态。
他的沉寂顿时让艾蕾侬恢复了对于身体和意识的控制，马上从地上爬起来连连后退，明显被吓得不轻。
不光是她，另外几名赶过来的魔判官们也都纷纷浮现出惊恐万分的表情。
毕竟连最强大的机械之母都被如此轻易的控制住，那换成自己肯定也没有任何区别。
最重要的是，卡恩最后那句“真正的新非瑞克西亚之父将会在不久之后降临”的预言，让他们都变得疑神疑鬼起来。
严重的甚至开始对体内维系自己存活的烁油产生了排斥心理。
或许在场唯一一个还能保持淡定的，就是身为间谍的红色魔判官——洼巴斯。
因为他已经清晰的感知到，刚才控制卡恩的那股力量不是别人，正是新烁油的主人——左思。
By consuming the new oil that had already penetrated into the body, Zuo Si not only successfully controlled Kahn's body and created unprecedented panic within New Phyrexia, but also allowed other demon judges to see through Elenon's disguise of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
This also means that Ellenon's attempt to rely on the Mechanic Orthodoxy to integrate and unify New Phyrexia has completely failed.
It can be predicted that the next development will inevitably be that the Demon Judges will secede and establish their own independent regimes, maintaining a state of mutual caution and vigilance.
What Wabas had to do was to select some smart people who knew the current affairs and introduce them to Zuo Si, so that they could become undercover agents and spies like himself.
Ultimately, the goal of hollowing out New Phyrexia from the inside was achieved bit by bit.
Once the Demon Judges collectively accept the new Shuo Oil, the countdown to the old Shuo Oil's exit from the stage of history will begin.
…
At the same time, far away in the underground laboratory of the Steel City.
Zuo Si, who had just released his control over Kahn, was stroking his chin and commented with interest: "It is unbelievable how fragile Elenon's mind and willpower are.
No wonder the nightmare planeswalker Ashiok could easily invade her spiritual world and induce the deepest fear and anxiety in her heart.
But I also took advantage of the information.
Now, as long as no other planeswalkers come to deliver it, I should be able to keep New Phyrexia firmly trapped in Mirrodin until it becomes my own."
"So... everything that is happening in Mirrodin now is directed by you?"
The Dark Azure Elf standing next to them, who had been completely transformed, Grisha, had her eyes wide open, her face full of disbelief.
She simply couldn't believe that all the planeswalkers, including New Phyrexia and Elspeth, and the refugees from Mirrodin were being manipulated by the young human in front of her.
"Why, is this strange? Don't forget how your soul and memories are preserved intact."
Zuo Si raised his fingers and tapped lightly on the other person's forehead, which was completely wrapped in metal.
Out of respect for Mirrodin's first native planeswalker and world-saving hero, he did not forcibly control him, but allowed him to maintain his original mental state.
Grissa turned around and glanced at her current image in the mirror, then smiled bitterly and sighed.
"Ah—that's true.
Without the new oil you created, I would probably have become a soulless walking corpse like those new Phyrexian creations.
But I don't understand, what is your real purpose in controlling the oil? To transform the entire universe like Yawgmoth did? Or to use its properties to conquer one time and space after another?"
Zuo Si replied with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not a paranoid person like Yawgmoth who has serious problems with cognition and consciousness.
There is no interest in wasting time and energy to invade one world after another and transform them into a uniform Phyrexian form.
I control the oil for one purpose: to use it as a trump card against the most powerful planeswalker and elder dragon in existence, Nicol Bolas.
In fact, I am quite cautious about the use of wax oil.
It is safe in my hands, far safer than New Phyrexia is today."
"I see! No wonder you didn't want those planeswalkers to go to the core of Mirrodin to rescue Karn.
Because once they fail in their action, or bring the old oil to other worlds, two completely different kinds of oil will appear in the entire universe.
Especially if the Old Oil is left unchecked, it will continue to recreate forces like New New Phyrexia."
A look of sudden realization appeared on Grisha's face.
"Remember not to tell this secret to anyone. For other plans in the future, I must maintain a positive image."
Zuo Si teased in a half-joking tone.
Just as he was about to mix the No. 0 spark oil with the old spark oil to see what would happen, a unique dark red beacon suddenly appeared out of thin air and eventually condensed into the mark of Sorin Markov.
"What's this?"
Grissa stared at the pattern that suddenly appeared out of nowhere in great confusion.
"Nothing, I thought I might need to be gone for a while."
After saying that, Zuo Si directly activated the spark power of the planeswalker and instantly disappeared from the spot.
The next second...
He appeared directly in the cheap teacher's luxurious manor.
Sorin, dressed in an elegant suit, had obviously been waiting for a long time. Without saying a word, he directly transmitted the coordinates of time and space, and then said bluntly: "Follow me! Wu Jin wants to see you!"
Before he finished speaking!
This ancient vampire, whose lifespan was second only to the two elder dragon mages, disappeared on the spot.
"Spiritual Dragon Wu Jin wants to see me?!"
Zuo Si was stunned for a moment, but soon he was filled with uncontrollable ecstasy and immediately followed Suo Lin in the cross-time and space teleportation.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them appeared out of thin air in the time and space of Tarkir, one after the other.
Because the madman Sarkhan traveled back in time to save Ugin who was killed by Nicol Bolas, the history of this world was completely reversed.
The dragon that had been extinct long ago not only survived but became extremely prosperous.
A terrifying energy storm gathered in the sky once again, and giant dragons were born continuously in the storm.
These storms are actually natural phenomena caused by the powerful mana emanating from Ugin's unconscious mind.
Yes!
You heard it right!
Such a powerful force that affected and changed the entire world was just a small remnant of an ancient mage and elder dragon.
This shows how powerful Wu Jin is!
And how terrifying was Nicol Bolas, who had killed him twice, in his prime! In Zuo Si's opinion, although Wu Jin was slightly weaker than his brother, he was far superior to any other known planeswalker, and the knowledge he possessed was a mountain of gold that could not be measured by money or wealth.
