For a new Phyrexian Inquisitor, replacing old Oil with new is not strictly speaking a matter of simply replacing an energy source or core.

Instead, it is equivalent to copying the core program of a strong artificial intelligence with perception and self-awareness, and then making major modifications and adjustments to the underlying logic until it is completely transformed into a completely different new form.

And because the New Phyrexian creatures that have been completely transformed by the Oil have no souls, their consciousness, thinking, and perception are all given by the Oil.

Therefore, this modification, adjustment and replacement is actually equivalent to killing the creature originally transformed by the old oil, and then resurrecting it into a construct controlled by Zuo Si.

It's just that these judges and other new Phyrexian creations have only been around for a short time, so they don't have a clear concept of death, and don't understand the meaning of life and death.

The only thing he wants to do is to become stronger and evolve desperately, to gain power that surpasses other people of his kind.

That's why there is a trend of actively embracing new oil.

If it were the old Phyrexian Judges led by Yawgmoth, they would definitely choose to fight to the death when facing the anti-infection of the new oil.

Even if it means self-destruction, it will never allow the underlying logical structure that maintains self-consciousness to be tampered with.

Especially Jinjitaxia, who is the Blue Demon Judge and has a fanatical and radical pursuit of technology and research and development. The characteristic of his faction is the pursuit of deadly and unscrupulous crazy experiments, and he firmly believes that only by constantly transforming himself can he achieve true "perfection".

As long as they can retain knowledge and memory and make themselves smarter and stronger on the original basis, these guys don't care whether to change their bodies or whether the oil flowing in their bodies is new or old.

During the original development of New Phyrexia, it was Jingitashya who, with the help of Tezzeret, traveled to the Shenhe plane and conducted in-depth research on the world's intertwined real world and spiritual world.

Ultimately, the technology was created to complete the Planeswalker while preserving the Spark.

You have to know that even Yawgmoth, the creator of the oil, couldn't do this.

In addition, the essence of the World Tree that was later stolen by the Green Demon Judge, Flink, from the Kaldheim time and space, was successfully created to connect the entire multiverse and countless time and space. It can continuously transport troops to any known time and space. In some aspects, the technological level has far surpassed that of Old Phyrexia.

So in Zuo Si's opinion, the most outstanding, advantageous and valuable faction in New Phyrexia is precisely Jingitashya and the blue progress engine faction he leads.

In other words, these guys are born to be a group of crazy scientific researchers, and they can completely form a new team independently.

In addition, because they have no humanity or moral concepts, they will not have heated debates on taboo topics related to the human body, soul and social ethics like those earth scientists in the floating city of Plantia.

This means that Zuo Si now has several subordinate institutions that are specifically responsible for research and development and conducting various experiments.

Among them, the floating city of Plantia is one, which mainly focuses on the combination of natural science and magic, with some research in the field of social science;

The second is the spellcaster organizations such as the Arcane Mystic Society and the Guild of Masked Mages, which have multiple functions and specialize in the study of magic and supernatural powers;

The third is an organization on the ninth level of Baator Hell, which is composed of demons and various evil creatures from other planes. Its main research directions are law, contracts, souls, vicious sorcery, various drugs that can make people addicted and corrupt, and the creation of intelligent creatures with hellish bloodlines.

The fourth one is also in the ninth layer of Baator, but he is conducting research on Shuoyou and Shuoyou technology derivatives in several subsidiary planes. Another one is specialized in studying the Infernal Dragons. The fifth one is naturally Jingitashya and the New Phyrexia Blue Faction he leads.

As for the several laboratories and wizard towers built by Zuo Si himself, they have not been classified into it for the time being.

Judging from this layout alone, it fully demonstrates his sense of crisis that he will never put all his eggs in one basket.

While Jinjitasha was undergoing the upgrade, Wabasi quietly approached and cautiously asked, "Master, I have completed the task according to your instructions. Can I get my own soul now? Even if it is only a small part!"

"certainly.

In view of your outstanding performance in recent times, I can forge a complete soul for you now.

But before I do, I would like to ask you, what kind of soul do you want your soul to be like?

Just like the faction color you represent now, full of power, ambition, enthusiasm and destructive impulse? Or is it something else you expect? Although the soul will not directly change your personality and memory, it will continue to have an impact in the future.

You must know that once the soul is forged and integrated with the body, there is no room for change. "

Zuo Si gave a brief explanation to the red devil judge in front of him with a smile.

Perhaps influenced by his education and ideas, he has no aversion to giving souls to creatures in New Phyrexia, and he is not like Yawgmoth who strictly guards the free will of his subordinates.

After all, whether in the floating city or the continent of Faerun, it is normal for spellcasters to give creatures independent consciousness, mind and soul.

Spells such as undead enlightenment and construct enlightenment were invented early on and put into large-scale use.

In this regard, just look at the large number of creatures that can communicate and exchange in the lairs of great wizards or even legendary wizards.

Some creatures even have all kinds of weird personalities and hobbies.

For example, in the Blackstaff Tower of Khelben, there is a stone golem that likes to keep cats and feeds them whenever he has time; in the Underworld, the mad wizard Halaster Blackrobe also has a timid and cowardly golem that hides when he sees strangers.

These golems, which look more human than humans, are actually endowed with souls.

"I want to design a soul for myself?"

Wabas was stunned for a moment.

He obviously had not expected that there were so many details about the soul. He suddenly became extremely conflicted and couldn't make a decision after hesitating for a long time.

Zuo Si nonchalantly consoled him, "Don't worry, you can take your time to think about it. Anyway, we are not bound by lifespans and we have enough time. When you have thought it through, just come and tell me."

"Thank you very much! I swear that I will continue to serve you and hollow out the entire New Phyrexia so that it will become yours."

Wabasi quickly bowed his head to show his loyalty.

Because with the joining of the Blue Demon Judge Jinjitasha, he is no longer alone in the Demon Judge Council, but has a reliable ally.

The next thing to do is to find the next target and bring him to Zuo Si to complete the transformation.

In this way, three of the five factions, white, black, red, green and blue, have become our own people.

By then, even if the plan is exposed, the other two factions can be defeated through war with hard power.

The only question is, where should the third faction start? Should it be the brainless green faction leader, Flink, who only knows how to fight with brute force?

Or is it the leader of the White Faction, Elenon, who suffered a heavy blow and has never been able to recover?

Or is she the most sinister and ambitious of the Seven Steel Lords, the nominal leader of the Black Faction—Xiaored?

Any of these three is obviously not easy to deal with.

Because they are not as smart and rational as the Jinjitaxia, and are only interested in researching and developing technology.

Flink is a typical reckless man who only knows how to attack and charge. He probably doesn't even understand hints.

And it is unlikely that he would submit to Zuo Si, who does not appear to have undergone any non-Swiss transformation.

Needless to say, Ellenon would never choose to surrender, whether for the purpose of maintaining the ruling position of the Mechanic Orthodoxy within New Phyrexia or re-establishing his own deterrent power as regent.

In contrast, the capable and ambitious pragmatist, Xiole, is a good target.

At least in Wabas's opinion, she was not only quite smart, but also had no loyalty or principles.

As long as enough benefits can be offered, such as supporting her to start a civil war to unify her faction and become a true black magic judge, there is a high probability that Xiorin will choose to surrender actively.

Of course, the above are just thoughts that remain in Wabasi’s mind.

具体实施起来，他还要跟即将完成转化的蓝色魔判官金吉塔厦商量。

毕竟后者在玩弄权术和阴谋诡计方面才是真正的大师。

时间飞逝……

半个小时一晃就过去了。

等眼睛里释放出的光芒开始渐渐暗淡，金属骨架结构震荡发出的响声也彻底消失，金吉塔厦终于重获新生，抬起头用略带兴奋和激动地语气赞叹道：“啊！这种无拘无束不会受到任何限制的感觉真是太棒了！我能感觉到自己的智力，尤其是思维的广度增加了数倍，无时无刻都在产生着奇思妙想。”

“恭喜，你现在已经是个有自由意志的生命体了，虽然因为缺少灵魂还不算完整。”

左思微笑着向蓝色魔判官送上了祝福。

尽管金吉塔厦在外形上基本上跟异形差不多，尤其是不成比例的细长脑袋、脊椎和四肢，在阴暗的地方突然现身估计能把大活人给吓尿裤子。

可他就是怎么看怎么顺眼。

没办法，谁让这家伙是新非瑞克西亚技术部门的首席领导者呢。

同样喜欢搞研究实验的左思，对于这样的手下总是会给予更大的容忍度和权限。

哪怕对方犯了什么错误，只要不是涉及到原则和底线，通常情况下是不会受到严厉处罚的。

“这都是多亏了您的慷慨赐予。在我的心目中，唯有您才配得上新非瑞克西亚之父的称号。”

金吉塔厦优雅的鞠了一躬，展现出蓝色派系特有的智慧与圆滑。

不过左思却不以为意的摆了摆手：“好了，在我面前就把用来糊弄艾蕾侬那套收起来吧。

相比起这些拍马屁的话，我更看重的是你的研发能力。

这里有一些资料和技术，你可以带回去作为参考，对烁油造物进行一系列的改进。

至于针对新非瑞克西亚内部的反侵染行动，稍后洼巴斯会私下里跟你谈。

眼下你的任务只有一个，那就是以最快速度在整个蓝色派系中用新烁油取代旧烁油。

另外，我对水银海深处和你研发的那些魔法合成金属非常感兴趣，稍后送一批过来。”

“如您所愿！”

金吉塔厦毫不犹豫的给出肯定答复，双手接过用烁油科技打造的移动终端存储器，两只眼睛瞬间迸射出骇人的光芒。

作为一个彻头彻尾的典型技术控，光从这个独特的装置他就察觉到了至少几十种自己从未接触过的研究方向，整个人都陷入了兴奋与激动的情绪中无法自拔。

最重要的是，他现在终于有了一个懂技术、注重研发和实验的上司。

再也不需要像以前那样，还要装模作样去附和艾蕾侬这个搞宗教迷信的神经病，可以专心致志干自己最感兴趣的工作。

就在左思还想要说点什么的时候，一个像是漂浮在半空中、带有章鱼般机械触手的摄像头突然从远处飞了过来。

从外表包裹的白瓷和内部鲜红色的肌肉不难判断出，这玩意百分之百是白色派系机械正教的东西。

尤其是摄像头前端那密密麻麻的眼球，让人忍不住感到头皮发麻。

无论是金吉塔厦还是左思，都在第一时间启动了隐形魔法藏了起来。

等眼球从远处飞到近前的时候，偌大的全自动钢铁熔炉铸造车间便只剩下了红色魔判官——洼巴斯。

仅仅一秒钟之后，艾蕾侬的声音便透过这个血肉与机械融合的装置传了出来。

“构生花园内部出现了入侵者！根据机械虫的报告，对方极有可能是来自其他时空的旅法师。至于目的，八成是冲着卡恩来的。”

“入侵者？旅法师？他们有多少人？”

洼巴斯抬起头惊讶不已的询问道。

要知道构生花园可是新非瑞克西亚的核心和防守最严密的地方。

尤其是那些用白瓷和肌肉等边角余料海量制作的机械虫，数量多到远超任何人的想象。

它们就像是猎犬一样拥有敏锐的感知跟嗅觉，密密麻麻分散在艾蕾侬所统治的区域。

别说是一个大活人了，就连一只蚊子、苍蝇都别指望能穿过如此森严的守备。

这也是为何左思明明十分垂涎卡恩体内所隐藏的神器，但是却迟迟没有动手的原因之一。

“两个！一个是瓦许克族、男性，另外一个应该不是秘罗地本地人，同样也是男性。”

说着，艾蕾侬透过这个造物把寇斯与凡瑟的影像展示了出来。

不用问也知道，他们并未听从左思的警告，反而还是趁着后者不在偷偷溜出去潜入了地心，想要查看卡恩现如今的状态。

但还没等找到位于王座之上的卡恩，就已经暴露在新非瑞克西亚无处不在的眼线之中了。

“明白了！我会立刻派人加入搜索跟追捕的行列。”

洼巴斯迅速点头应承下来。

他知道，出了这种事情艾蕾侬第一个找上自己，肯定是因为之前立的“舔狗”人设起到了作用。

与其他那些连表面功夫都懒得做的魔判官，洼巴斯无疑是现如今唯一一个还愿意听从机械正教领导的派系首领。

结束了通话之后，这个长满眼球的怪异构造体迅速飞走了。

等它彻底消失在视线范围之外，左思这才解除隐形状态颇为无奈的叹了口气。

“唉——真是好心难劝该死的鬼呢。凡瑟、寇斯，既然你们俩这么急不可耐的找死，那我就成全你们好了。”

“您认识这两个入侵者？”

金吉塔厦用十分好奇的语气问。

左思微微点了下头：“是的。

那个瓦许克族的男性叫寇斯，应该是最近才点燃火花的新手，同时也是秘罗地诞生的第二个本土旅法师。

他的同伴则叫凡瑟，曾经为时间大法师泰菲力工作过，和卡恩一样参与了修补时间裂缝的工作。

不出意外的话，应该是凡瑟还没有放弃营救卡恩的念头，因此才拉着寇斯冒险深入地心。

这种对于朋友的忠诚虽然值得钦佩，但他们显然妨碍到了我的计划。

先不提卡恩那颗源源不断生成旧烁油的心脏，一旦离开秘罗地在其他时空扩散造成的危害。

光是他获救后会引来更多旅法师这一点就相当令人头疼。

要知道眼下知晓秘罗地已经被新非瑞克西亚控制的人还不多。

如果消息扩散开，必然会有许多爱管闲事的旅法师前来造访，给我们带来无穷无尽的麻烦。

所以无论是出于什么角度，这两个家伙都必须死。”

在说这番话的时候，左思眼睛里迸射出毫不掩饰的冷酷跟杀意。

虽然在最开始的时候，他并没有产生这样的念头，而是想要将其当成潜在的盟友培养，以便在最终与尼可·波拉斯决战的时候发挥点作用。

但现在看来纯属是想多了。

不管是作为老手的凡瑟也好，还是作为新手的寇斯也罢，都没有真正意识到一旦将没有任何人能控制的旧烁油散播出去，将会造成怎样恐怖的后果。

因此在左思眼中，他们基本就是两个严重不可控的危险因素，必须被迅速排除掉。

这跟情感上的喜欢或者讨厌没有任何关系，完全是出于理性思维和利益的考量。

至于两人跟艾紫培建立起来的短暂友谊，左思只能在心底跟艾紫培说声抱歉了。

“杀掉他们会不会太浪费了一点？不如交给我来做实验，然后将他们用新烁油完化，变成听命与您的忠实奴仆。”

金吉塔厦提出了另外一种解决方案。

毕竟现在新烁油有了保存灵魂能力，这也就意味着旅法师的火花大概率也可以在完化过程中被完好无损的保留下来。

而且实践是检验真理的唯一标准。

正好眼下有两个白白送上门的活体实验材料，要是不试一下他也就不是掌控蓝色派系的魔判官了。

可左思却轻轻摇了摇头拒绝道：“不，没有那么必要。

宝贵的火花交给他们来使用，实在是一种暴殄天物的浪费。

就算完化了也没有多少利用价值。

我只想要火花，不想要这两个实力低下的旅法师。

如果你想进行这方面的实验，可以等以后捕获到实力强大的旅法师再进行。

但是现在，我们必须争分夺秒在事态变得无法收拾之前，把凡瑟和寇斯处理掉。

最重要的是，千万不要让他们被旧烁油感染。

那会白白浪费两个珍贵的火花。”

“好吧，我想我明白您的意思了。”

金吉塔厦语气中带着一丝淡淡的遗憾，很快弯下腰鞠了一躬，随后转身踏上返回水银海老巢的归途。、

至于左思本人则在洼巴斯掩护下融入红色派系的大军，浩浩荡荡开赴遭到入侵的地区进行地毯式搜查。

由于有预言系魔法的定位，所以他并没有花费太多的功夫，很快便锁定了入侵者的位置。

……

此时此刻，凡瑟与寇斯正在机械虫的追捕下东躲XZ。

If Venser did not have a large number of artifacts in his hands, especially the difficult-to-detect teleportation device, he would have been overwhelmed by the countless new Phyrexian creatures.

But even so, their condition was not much better.

Kos, who has the power to control the earth, rocks and metal, is slightly better. At least when fighting, he will "stack armor" like crazy. Ordinary mechanical bugs can't bite the thick and hard shell on his body.

But Venser was in trouble.

Not only were large chunks of flesh and blood eaten away from the arms and legs, but the oil that flowed out of the mechanical insect's mouth also seeped into the muscle tissue of the wound, slowly infecting and transforming it.

Looking at the horrifying wound, Kos finally couldn't help but open his mouth to remind them: "Hey! You can't go down like this! Why don't we go back to Melila to clean up the oil, otherwise you will become a monster like them."

"No! We can't go back! If we give up, the enemy will definitely increase their vigilance and even move Kahn's location, which will make it even more difficult to find him."

Venser gritted his teeth, showing the extremely stubborn side of his character.

In fact, when he first discovered that he was infected by the oil, he planned to cut off his entire arm and replace it with a metal robotic arm.

This is not a difficult task for an artificer who is good at making various items.

But before he could put it into action, Venser discovered that the oil had already flowed through his blood vessels throughout his body. If he hadn't acted decisively and chopped off his arm within a few seconds after being infected, it would have been of no use at all.

Fortunately, the planeswalker's spark can delay the infection speed of the spark oil to a certain extent, so it will not be "completely destroyed" in a short period of time.

"Damn it! You are simply a lunatic! I suddenly feel that Soth is right. If we rashly approach the core of Mirrodin, we will simply be courting death."

Kos gritted his teeth and cursed under his breath.

Needless to say, he was beginning to regret agreeing to the other party's request.

Because if he didn't agree, then when Elspeth needed to lead the Iron City refugees to resist the invasion of New Phyrexia and couldn't leave, Venser would never dare to act alone.

The only thing that made Kos feel fortunate was that he did not agree to take the risk of kidnapping Melila as well.

Otherwise, I would be a complete sinner.

Thinking of this, the young Vashuk warrior couldn't help but feel annoyed.

In contrast, Venser was more worried about the condition of his good friend Karn.

After all, the deeper he went into the center of the earth, the more he found that it was exactly the same as Zuo Si's previous description, and he was terrified to see the desperate scene of Kahn's transformation into the father of New Phyrexia.

This is too cruel, too ironic, and too darkly humorous for Karn, who has spent his life assisting Urza in fighting Yawgmoth and the Phyrexian forces.

This is why Venser would rather endure the risk of being infected by the sparkling oil and go see his old friend.

As they had just experienced a skirmish not long ago, both of them had consumed a lot of energy, so they hid in a corner without saying a word and rested quietly, chewing on the dry food and dried meat that Elspeth had stuffed into the package before leaving to replenish their nutrition.

They knew very well that from the moment they were infected with the oil, this adventure had begun a countdown to death.

If Karn is not found before Venser is completely transformed, all efforts and sacrifices will be in vain.

Kos would not hesitate at all and would definitely activate the spark and escape from Mirrodin the first time his companions became enemies.

But before Kos and Venser could finish their food, the red faction army led by Wabas surrounded them from all sides.

And because Zuo Si was hiding in it, all the hidden transmission devices set up around it were destroyed.

The result was that Venser tried to teleport several times in a row but there was no response at all.

This situation immediately made their hearts sink to the bottom.

"The teleportation devices you set up have all been discovered?"

Kos quickly covered himself from head to toe with rocks and metals and asked in an uncertain tone.

Venser smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yes! It seems that the one coming this time is not an ordinary soldier, but a powerful demon judge. If the situation gets bad later, you should use the spark to teleport away."

"What about you?"

Kos turned his head and looked his companion in the eyes.

“I can’t leave, and I don’t dare to leave.

Remember what Soth said before?

If we accidentally bring the Shuo Oil to other time and space, we will all be sinners.

So from the moment I was infected with the oil, I had no way out.

Sorry, friend.

Maybe I shouldn't have dragged you into this."

As he spoke, Venser displayed the calmness and courage of a veteran planeswalker in the face of death.

Even though planeswalkers possess perhaps the most powerful escape ability in the entire multiverse, they should all be afraid of death and run away when they encounter danger.

But the reality is just the opposite.

Putting aside other things, just when fighting against Yawgmoth and the forces of Old Phyrexia, a large number of fearless and brutal ancient mages emerged.

Their basic approach is to make sacrifices as long as they can inflict heavy damage on the enemy. Anyone who dares to betray and surrender to the enemy will be killed without any hesitation or wavering.

So don't think that the Planeswalker has a strong ability to escape, so when facing a strong enemy, he will definitely choose to save the trouble.

"Tsk! You're just thinking of this now? What were you doing before? Sorry, but we Vashuk people are not cowards who abandon our comrades and run away alone."

Kos rolled his eyes in annoyance, and the power of the spark was activated instantly, arming himself into a huge rock giant.

After listening to the conversation between the two planeswalkers, Wabas finally walked out from the army and said in a slightly playful tone: "Ah! Pure comradeship!

How noble and touching! But here’s the thing…

Who gave you the illusion that you could escape from here?

Don't be naive!

You both will die here today."

"Humph! My life is at stake! Come and take it yourself if you have the guts!"

Kos roared and rushed towards the red demon judge in the distance like a heavy chariot.

Needless to say, he wanted to capture the leader first and eliminate the enemy leader in one fell swoop.

But unfortunately, before they could get close, several huge mechanical creatures moved their limbs and launched a charge, successfully intercepted the rock giant and tripped him to the ground, and then pressed down on him all at once.

But just a second later, flames and explosions shot up into the sky and engulfed everything around.

Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kos, with boiling magma flowing all over his body, leaped up and flew up, using the propulsion force generated by the explosion to smash towards the position where Wabas was.

The rocks and metals embedded in the bodies and backs of the Vashuks provided a powerful shield at times like these.

Coupled with the magical power granted by the Master's Spark, it is not afraid of the shock waves and high temperatures generated by the explosion.

In mid-air, Kos activated a red card, and his right arm was instantly wrapped in high-temperature red rocks, becoming larger, hotter, and harder.

If it falls down, everything within a radius of dozens or even hundreds of meters will be flattened, melted, and evaporated in an instant.

There is no doubt that this should be the most powerful and destructive magic card in the hands of the novice mage Kos.

The reason for doing this is basically to take a gamble and bet that he can kill Wabas with one punch.

Unfortunately, he obviously underestimated the power of the Red Demon Judge.

The moment he sensed the threat, the power of Wabas's oil engine instantly increased to the upper limit, and red flames began to emit from his body.

Before anyone could react to what was happening, he turned into a flash of red lightning and disappeared on the spot.

The moment of disappearance was accompanied by a deafening air explosion and white shock wave.

"What?!!!!"

Looking at the enemy who suddenly disappeared from his sight, Kos was completely stunned.

Because he couldn't believe it even in his dreams that the other party's huge pile of heavy metal structures could reach such a terrifying moving speed.

“You’re too slow!”

As Wabasi's slightly mocking voice came from behind him, Kos felt a huge force hitting him hard.

Bang! Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

His entire body instantly crashed into the ground like a cannonball, creating a huge pit with a radius of fifty meters and a depth of more than forty meters.

Due to the high temperature, the center has already melted into boiling red magma.

Kos himself was like a lifeless corpse, floating on the magma, with a noticeable dent in the spine on his back, which was obviously broken by the huge impact force.

With just one strike, the Red Demon Judge killed the novice planeswalker instantly.

The gap in strength is so huge that it can be described as heaven and earth.

"KOS!!!!!!"

Venser, who was at the back, saw this scene and his eyes turned red. He immediately activated the artifact card in his hand and rushed over to rescue.

But just as he was about to pay the magic power, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Poof! He lowered his head and saw that it was a sharp blade that had pierced his chest directly, smashing the most important organ besides the brain - the heart.

The new oil took the opportunity to accelerate the infection, and a large amount of black liquid mixed with blood gushed out.

When Venser struggled to turn around and see the true face of the murderer who killed him, his eyes were wide open in shock and anger. He opened his mouth several times to say something, but was suppressed by the blood and oil stuck in his throat.

"I think you can't understand now why I appear here and why I want to kill you, right?"

Zuo Si slowly took off the mechanical mask and revealed his true face.

At this moment, the expression on his face was completely different from the friendliness he had shown during the last meeting and conversation, and it exuded a creepy indifference.

"W-why?"

Venser spat out large gulps of sparkling oil and blood, then used the last of his strength to squeeze out a few words from his throat.

Zuo Si answered very straightforwardly: "Because you are blocking my way! You are threatening my plan!

I have clearly warned you not to attempt to rescue Karn, and not to venture deep into the depths of Mirrodin.

But why don't you listen to me? Otherwise, we could still be good friends or allies.

Since you are seeking death yourself, you can't blame me.

Finally, thank you for giving me a precious planeswalker spark."

As the last word came out of his mouth, Zuo Si instantly activated the ability of spark resonance, slowly peeling off the sparks hidden in the other person's body and soul, and then absorbing them into his own body and preserving them.

His move caused the dying Venser to show an expression of disbelief.

“This…how is this possible!?”

"You seem surprised by this? Don't forget how vast the multiverse is. It's not surprising that one or two planeswalkers with powerful abilities appear occasionally."

While he was talking, Zuo Si walked straight to the huge pit, fished Kos out of it and did the same thing to him.

In the blink of an eye, his spark reserve increased by two.

As for Kos who was in a coma, he was naturally thrown into the oil and transformed.

Seeing his comrade being swallowed by the oil at a very fast speed and covered with metal structures, Venser closed his eyes in pain.

When he opened his eyes again, he found that the Red Demon Judge Wabas was kneeling on the ground, showing an extremely respectful and obedient attitude.

moment!

The experienced planeswalker finally realized something. When his vision began to blur, he opened his mouth and murmured weakly, "So it's you... You are the real mastermind behind all this... The father of New Phyrexia... The second Yawgmoth... We have all been deceived by you..."

"Don't make me sound like I'm an unforgivable sinner.

The creation of New Phyrexia was all Karn's doing, and I had nothing to do with it.

I just took advantage of the chaotic situation here.

Besides, what's wrong with me controlling the oil and New Phyrexia? At least I won't be like Yawgmoth, invading other planes and spreading dangerous oil everywhere."

Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders and defended himself.

"What…what about Elspeth? What…what are you going to do with her?"

As he lay dying, Venser asked one last question of his concern.

“Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to Elspeth, but will train her to be an archangel of light and justice.

After all, she is much more obedient than you, and has no scheming, just like a piece of white paper without any spotless stain.

I will give her everything she desires, satisfy all her subconscious desires, and let her live in happiness forever.

After all, even a devil would occasionally want to appreciate purity and kindness from another perspective.

That feeling is very complex and subtle, and a stubborn person like you will never understand it.

And if one day I get tired of this, I can make her fall from heaven to hell in an instant through some subtle operations, making her corrupt and degenerate into the completely opposite side of the mirror.

Oh, sorry, I didn't notice you were complete."

As he spoke, Zuo Si's mouth corners slightly raised in a malicious smile, and he began to look up and down at this man whose half body had become mechanized after the new oil transformation.

The fully transformed Venser responded in a very calm voice: "It doesn't matter. Whatever you plan to do to Elspeth, it has nothing to do with me. Now, I have to go to the Mercury Sea to report to Jingitaxia."

"Go ahead and make good use of your talent in making artifacts. I look forward to your performance."

Zuo Si reached out and patted the other person's shoulder to show encouragement.

Just as Venser left, the transformed Kos woke up and joined the army of the red demon judge Wabas.

Just like that, the two planeswalkers who originally planned to rescue Karn became part of New Phyrexia without even making a splash.

After resolving the hidden danger, Zuo Si returned to the Steel City, briefly explained the precautions, and then handed over the power to Elspeth.

He quickly transferred his soul and consciousness to another clone, obtained the knowledge he wanted from the Lithomancer, and began to try to learn Niv-Mizzet's dual casting concentration technique.

Watching Zuo Si's repeated attempts and failures, and the unstable magical energy blasting the surrounding ground and walls into potholes, Nahiri, who was about to set off for Ixalan, couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure you really want to learn Niv-Mizzet's unique spellcasting technique? You know, for thousands of years, countless people have asked him for advice, but there has never been a successful case.

Some guys even drive themselves insane and develop split personalities.

I'm a little worried that you might not learn how to double cast and focus, and end up driving yourself crazy."

"With your current mental state, do you still have the time to pay attention to me?"

Zuo Si rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Although as time went by, the Lithomancer in front of him was becoming more and more normal, and rarely harassed him like he did when he was just released from the Hellvault.

But when he beat him, he knew that the madness had not disappeared, but had become part of his character.

Once stimulated by external factors, the old habits will immediately reappear.

Besides, among all the people Zuo Si knew, this one was far from the craziest.

Compared to Isadora, who had nothing better to do than to play with her own split personality, magical cloning, and then devouring each other, Nahiri's level was nothing.

The moment he thought of Isadora, a strange idea suddenly popped up in Zuo Si's mind.

Could it be that Niv-Mizzet's so-called dual spellcasting concentration was like Isadora, successfully splitting into two independent selves?

Realizing this, he did not hesitate for even a second and directly transferred his soul and consciousness away on the spot, leaving behind only a clone without any life characteristics.
