But the question is, what is the purpose of Ghost City’s return this time?
Occupy the entire desert in the name of reviving Netheril and then invade the Kingdom of Cormyr in the south?
Or will she stir up trouble in the North and West Heartland regions to avenge me for exposing her intention to release the nightmare serpent Dendel Starburst?"
After receiving the message from Ovo, Zuo Si returned to his own private room in the Mage Tower alone, staring at a high-precision map of the continent of Faerun hanging on the wall, with the Anauroch Desert marked with the holy emblem of Shar and a floating city.
Of course, the map he used for his own use did not just mark this one place, but was a map of the continental influence formed by dozens of different colors and patterns intertwined together.
Each faction includes detailed information on the number of members, scope of activities, potential threat level, and the churches and gods that support them.
Those painted red on the map are generally known enemies, or have a high probability of becoming enemies in the future.
White represents neutral and weak city-states, countries and forces that do not require much attention.
Green represents allies, and blue represents potential allies.
The northern part of the country is basically a mixture of blue and green.
Because they are all members of the trade alliance, they have long been thoroughly infiltrated and controlled economically.
Even if there are ambitious people and leaders who want to leave, the businessmen and people below who have tasted the sweetness will never agree.
But regions like Cyre ruled by red wizards, the Mulhorand Empire, Unther and Chessenta are all crimson, symbolizing hostility, and the relationships between the various factions within them are also marked one by one.
The area south of the west coast where the Sons of Bhaal are roiling is also marked in red, and the portraits of the five races are placed in their current locations.
The Flame Peak in the Chult Jungle is decorated with huge skulls, representing a possible world-destroying crisis.
There is also one in the Luoyan Desert, representing another crystal prison that has not yet been found.
A big question mark is placed around the Moon Sea controlled by Zhentil Keep, indicating that it is not yet certain whether it will be an enemy or a friend in the future.
After all, the ambitious Fuzzol Chamberlain is not someone who would be content to be inferior to others.
Just one look at this map will give you a clear and intuitive overall understanding of the current situation.
Zuo Si basically relied on it to make various judgments and adjustments and to assess the threats he might face next.
Of course, now that his business has expanded so much, he owns more than just a map of the continent of Faerun.
There are also charts analyzing political factions and struggles like the ones between the Hell Lords of Baator and the Archdevil;
A table showing the distribution of various forces within the huge cyberpunk city and the wealth and resources they control;
A list of planes where the old dragon Nicol Bolas had planted seeds, harvested or was preparing to harvest;
An investigation and analysis of the interest chains behind the West Coast Empire's upper class, and the extent of power these people currently hold;
There are even several reference books written by theologians and scholars that specifically explain the teachings of the gods and their relationships to each other.
As a person from the era of information explosion, Zuo Si pays much more attention to intelligence and large-scale data collection than the natives of this world.
The latter, in particular, has received unprecedented attention.
He even ordered the Guild of Masked Mages to set up a separate department to be responsible for this important task, giving extremely high treatment to those outstanding young mages and allowing them to enter the library to read and copy valuable knowledge, including notes related to the scrolls of Netheril.
Because Zuo Si always believed that sporadic intelligence might be a smokescreen deliberately released by the enemy to lure him into making wrong judgments, but the compiled and sorted big data could never lie.
No matter how deeply those conspiracies are hidden, they always require personnel, materials and other preparations.
And these will change and be reflected in the data.
If not, it only means that the data collection work is not detailed and comprehensive enough.
There is no doubt that Zuo Si was mentally prepared for the return of the City of Ghosts and the revenge of the Goddess of Night, and he also formulated some countermeasures.
After all, everyone knows that Shar is vengeful and petty. Even if there is no better solution for the time being, she will try every means to create trouble to disgust people.
So after offending this goddess, don't expect her to swallow her anger or pretend nothing happened.
The only question is, if the City of Ghosts still follows the original script and invades the Kingdom of Cormyr in the south, whether this thousand-year-old feudal country, which is facing internal and external troubles, can withstand the remnants of the Netheril who possess powerful magical powers.
As for turning around and invading the North directly...
Excuse me.
The Silvermoon Alliance led by Alustriel and Waterdeep, currently led by Khelben and Lyra, alone can teach each other a lesson.
Tell them what it means that “times have changed, adults.”
The silver fire of the Chosen One of the Goddess of Magic has an immediate suppressing effect on most arcane spellcasters, which is like cheating.
If the difference in spellcasting levels is not that big, it is impossible to win.
What's more, there is the great arcanist Ovo and a new floating city guarding nearby.
If Telramant Tanshul of the City of Ghosts had any inappropriate thoughts, he would be beaten up in minutes.
You have to know that when Ovo became a great arcanist, Telamante was not even born yet.
Therefore, after a brief analysis and thinking, Zuo Si came to a conclusion.
That is, the return of the Ghost City should not pose any threat to himself.
Even if the goddess of night, Shar, was behind the scenes, he had powerful allies like Ovo, Elastro, Khelben and Lyra to provide early warnings, so he had plenty of time to prepare for any unexpected situation.
Therefore, in the end, the anomalies in the Anauroch Desert were only given a relatively low threat level.
Just as Zuo Si was about to shift his attention to the Kalin Desert in the south, intending to transform this barren area created by the war between wind giants and fire giants into a fertile plain through the power of magic, an indescribable throbbing suddenly surged from the bottom of his heart.
Then the planeswalker's spark, which had been calm, suddenly began to flash with blinding light, as if it had been summoned by something.
Almost at the same time, a striking spatial coordinate that traversed the dark void appeared in his mind.
"Is this... a trans-temporal beacon? No, that's not right. A trans-temporal beacon shouldn't be this weak. It's more like the Firefly Project without any upgrades."
Although it was the first time he had such a feeling, Zuo Si quickly confirmed what was going on, as if he was lighting a torch in the dark.
As the name suggests, the so-called "inter-dimensional beacon" is the ancestor of the Izzet League in the Ravnica time and space - the ancient dragon Niv-Mizzet. After realizing Nicol Bolas's ambition, he finally formulated a backup plan based on the ability of a planeswalker named Ral Zarek under his command.
It was this plan that attracted countless planeswalkers from across the multiverse after the War of the Spark began, working together to crush the old dragon's ambition to restore the ancient planeswalkers' might.
Normally, this beacon should have been triggered on Ravnica.
But now the place where it is lit up is not on Ravnica, but in another time and space.
Moreover, the brightness of the beacon is far from being as bright and dazzling as described by the genuine "inter-temporal beacon", which is not enough to penetrate the spatial barriers and illuminate the entire multiverse. At best, it can only be regarded as a small torch.
If Zuo Si's planeswalker spark level wasn't high enough, he wouldn't even be able to sense its presence.
This can be seen from the fact that Shane VII and the main brain have not reacted at all so far.
There is no doubt that the lighting of the inter-dimensional beacon means that some serious crisis has occurred in this time and space that even the mages cannot solve.
As to what exactly it is, it is still unknown for the time being.
Because Zuo Si had never been to the time and space where the beacon was located, there were no related cards in the legacy of the previous planeswalker, especially land cards.
This means that this world is completely dark to him.
Just as he was hesitating whether to go over to take a look, the beacon began to flash violently again, as if indicating how nervous and anxious the person who activated it was at the moment.
"Well, it looks like there's no way to dodge this time."
Zuo Si sighed helplessly, quickly activated the planeswalker's spark, passed through the dark void, and appeared directly above a huge city.
Unlike the overall medieval style of the continent of Faerun, this city clearly has very advanced technology.
一眼望去不仅有大量刺入云霄的数千米尖塔，天空中还有大量的飞行载具，以及地面上使用不知名动力系统的车辆、金属构装体机械。
尤其那些耸立在河岸两侧的桥梁，造型是两只彼此相对伸展翅翼的机械巨鸟，两翼搭起的拱形平台构成了桥面，千奇百怪的店铺就开设鸟的翅膀上。
复杂的齿轮与机械结构遍布在城市的每一个角落形成了独特的美感，仿佛城市本身就是一个巨大且不断运转的机器。
某种奇妙的能量在空气中流动，最终被那些尖塔所收集起来压缩成深蓝色的液体。
在尖塔的下方，一个个由管道连接的超巨型网络负责把这些液态能量输送到城市的每一个角落，供所有人使用和消耗。
卡拉德许！
在短暂的观察过后，左思立马确认了自己身处这个时空的名字。
确切的说应该是这个时空的第一大城市——吉拉波。
而那些弥漫在大气中的能量，正是大名鼎鼎的“乙太能量”，也就是一种本地人对宇宙中未经过任何加工的原初魔法能量的称呼。
这里的乙太能量跟黑暗虚空中那种混乱且不受控制的原始物质和能量并不是一种东西。
它不仅非常的稳定，而且可以被运用到日常生活中的方方面面，甚至可以说是奠定了整个卡拉德许现如今的繁荣与辉煌的最大功臣。
作为一个以发明创造为主的时空，这里最大的特色就是各种各样千奇百怪的造物。
比如说完全用金属和魔法打造而成，可以像真正的鸟儿一样飞行的机械鸟； 再比如说那些外形呈现流水线，能够高速在地面上奔驰或在天空中飞行的车辆、飞船。
至于繁重的体力劳动，全部都被大小不一的机械构装体所取代。
这里的人们主要从事的工作只有两种，一种是创造和发明，另外一种则是批量制作那些被消费者认可的产品。
为了提高竞争力，他们甚至不惜花费大价钱举办发明家博览会，把那些最尖端、最具有颠覆性的东西展示出来。
也只有这样的时空，才有足够的技术和实力制造出时空渡桥这样跨时代的产品。
如果换成是平时，来到像卡拉德许这样的时空，左思肯定会先去街市上逛逛，购买一些自己感兴趣的产品，顺便与本地人交流一下知识和技术。
毕竟凡是高度发达的魔法文明，都必然会有其独到之处。
但遗憾的是他现在还有更重要的事情必须做，那就是找到跨时空信标发出的地点，以及搞清楚这里究竟发生了什么样的危机。
轰！！！！！！！！！ 就在左思刚刚从天空降落到地面的刹那，一阵剧烈的爆炸突然从远处一个用来存储乙太能量的巨大透明罐子附近传来。
恐怖的爆炸瞬间将周围数百米范围内的建筑夷为平地。
这不是什么夸张的形容，而是一种非常精准的描述。
因为在压缩过的液态能量面前，不管是刺入云霄的尖塔，还是那些普通的店铺和房屋，统统都在一瞬间分解成肉眼难以分辨的微小颗粒四散飞溅。
所有屋顶和墙壁统统都消失不见，地面上呈现一大片空荡荡的区域，地面甚至平滑到看不出有任何建筑存在过的痕迹。
至于里边的人和其他物品，不用问也知道肯定是完蛋了。
稍远一些的地方虽然建筑物没有被夷平，但也遭受了猛烈冲击，不少路上的行人直接被肆虐的能量吹上半空，然后如同雨点般落下摔成肉泥。
那恐怖且骇人的景象，简直就像是世界末日降临了一样。
大量平民发出充满恐惧的尖叫，并一股脑朝着更远的地方逃窜。
而那些受伤还没有死掉的则倒在血泊之中痛苦哀嚎，并请求周围路过的人帮助自己。
只可惜，在这种时候敢于冒着生命危险去帮助他人的英雄终究只是极个别。
成千上万的重伤者在几分钟之内便很快因为失血过多和其他原因咽下了最后一口气。
而造成这场灾难的元凶，在爆炸结束后的七八分钟左右，终于出现在了爆炸中心的位置。
其中最显眼的，无疑是跟左思曾经有过一面之缘，身体大半已经完全改造成机械化的旅法师泰兹瑞。
在他身后不远的地方，赫然耸立着一座巨大且散发着深蓝色幽光的拱门形装置。
其中外部的圆拱形结构周围密密麻麻遍布着一根根用来吸收和传送能量的通道，一直从两侧延伸到中间。
惊人的能量正通过这些管道在中心位置聚集，似乎正在建立一个与其他时空连接的特殊隧道。
“泰兹瑞！立刻停止你那疯狂的计划！否则我会亲手把你连带肉体和灵魂一起焚烧殆尽！”
一头长发早已化作燃烧火焰的茜卓·纳拉，瞪着两只同样散发出炙热火光的眼睛发出了最后通牒。
可泰兹瑞却冷笑着嘲弄道：“就凭你们几个吗？
好好睁开眼睛看看！
现在连执政院都站在了我这一边！ 而你们的那些盟友，不过是一群遭到追捕的叛乱分子而已。
更何况我已经拿到了时空渡桥，用不了多久它就能源源不断的传送来一支强大的军团。”
“该死！这家伙在故意拖延时间。别跟他废话，赶紧动手将其击败好关闭时空渡桥。不然的话时间拖的越久对我们越不利。”
一旁的杰斯·贝连显然透过自己最擅长的心灵魔法捕捉到了泰兹瑞的想法，立刻就想要对其进行精神控制。
但遗憾的是，现如今的泰兹瑞早已不是那个可以任由他随意抹除记忆的菜鸟，而是效忠于目前最强大的旅法师——尼可·波拉斯。
而老龙在心灵魔法方面的造诣，能甩开杰斯·贝连不知道多少条街。
泰兹瑞甚至没有激活任何一张魔法卡牌，仅仅是启动了机械身躯的部分能力就轻而易举挡住了前者的心灵入侵，并且狂笑着讽刺道：“哈哈哈哈！杰斯，你还是跟以前一样总喜欢耍这种小聪明。
但是很遗憾，这些花招对我来说已经不起作用了。
现在的你在我眼中就像是个自以为聪明的蠢货，根本不明白自己在跟什么样的人作对。
只要我愿意，甚至可以像捏死一只蚂蚁一样杀掉你。”
“哦？是么。那你为什么不过来试试呢？”
杰斯故意摆出一副受到挑衅的样子，试图把泰兹瑞从时空渡桥旁边引开。
但遗憾的是他的计划显然失败了。
作为一名神器师，泰兹瑞比在场其他人都更明白时空渡桥的重要性，因此站在原地连半点想要移动的意思都没有。
不仅如此，他还在利用从卡拉德许遍布在地下用来传到乙太能量的管道，源源不断向渡桥内注入能量，使得中间蓝色的光变得越来越亮。
性格冲动易怒的茜卓见状，二话不说便抬起手凭空制造了一个巨大的火球，瞄准时空渡桥所在的位置扔了过去。
但泰兹瑞显然早有准备，直接利用自己金属化的身体凭空制造了一面盾牌，刚刚好挡在火球飞行的道路上。
下一秒……
轰！！！！！ 火球当场被引爆，猛烈的冲击和热浪向四周扩散，形成了一片壮观无比的火海。
按照费伦大陆塑能系魔法的标准，这破坏力绝对可以被划分到九环乃至传奇法术中。
但对于专精火焰魔法的旅法师而言，却只相当于一次聚能和蓄力重击，甚至都算不上杀手锏。
毕竟茜卓的火焰威力与自身掌控的能量成正比。
最高战绩是汲取了赞迪卡时空星球的力量，直接一发超级火球送走了奥札奇泰坦。
不过泰兹瑞显然也不是吃素的，愣是凭借自己在老家阿拉若获得的乙金大师能力，把这足以融化岩石和钢铁的火焰拦截下来。
刚才恐怖的爆炸，大概率就是类似交手导致的意外结果。
茜卓的火焰向来是出了名的不稳定且威力巨大，在人口密集的城市非常容易造成误伤。
更不用提脚下这座城市到处都有用来存储乙太能量的罐子，稍有不慎打碎就会引发足以席卷一两个街区的剧烈爆炸。
而且随着茜卓和杰斯开始动手，同一阵营的精灵旅法师妮莎和另外一名手持造型奇特软剑的人类壮汉也很快加入了围攻的行列。
后者不用问也知道，肯定就是这支队伍中最后一个从未跟左思见过面的成员——基定·尤拉。
It was obvious that she was suffering the backlash of this evil artifact and was in a state of extreme pain.
"So they are fighting for the time-space bridge..."
With vision and perception far superior to that of ordinary people, Zuo Sili quickly understood what was happening.
Calculating the time, Tezzeret should have obtained the Space-Time Bridge, a treasure that was crucial to launching the War of the Spark, for the old dragon around this time.
But what confused and puzzled him was who sent out that weak extradimensional beacon? Jace, Tezzeret, Chandra, Gideon, Liliana, and Nissa obviously did not have such ability.
But there were no other planeswalkers within sight.
Just as Zuo Si was paying attention to the ongoing civil war among the planeswalkers in the distance and pondering the causes and consequences of the whole incident and the possible traps involved, a young man with short black hair and a huge golden arm guard on his right arm slowly walked out from the empty alley behind him, put one hand on his chest and bowed slightly.
"I suppose you are looking for me, aren't you?"
"Is it you who sent the inter-temporal beacon?"
Zuo Si turned his head and looked the other person up and down.
Based on the mutual induction between the sparks, he could be 100% sure that the young man in front of him was also a planeswalker like himself.
But the specific identity cannot be confirmed.
After all, there are actually quite a few planeswalkers in the multiverse, and not every planeswalker has the opportunity to appear.
The young man smiled and nodded: “Yes, that’s me.
Nice to meet you, Your Excellency Soth.
Please allow me to extend my warmest greetings to you on behalf of Niv-Mizzet, the founder of the Izzet League.
Thank you and Ms. Nahiri for the early warning as well.
My name is Raal Zarek, and I am an envoy sent by the guild's founder to meet with you and discuss countermeasures.
I'm sorry to have lured you here in this less than glorious way.
But this is the request of the original founder Niv-Mizzet.
According to him, if you can't sense the glow of fireflies in the dark, you don't have the strength to stand up to Nicol Bolas.
Then there is no need for our cooperation to continue.”
Hearing this, Zuo Si couldn't help laughing. He asked in return, "So this is a carefully planned test? The old dragon behind you wants to know if I am qualified to fight Nicol Bolas?"
Ral Zarek shook his head hastily: "No, not really. At least not completely.
Another part of the reason lies in the time-space bridge.
That was the key to whether or not Nicol Bolas could launch a full-scale invasion of Ravnica.
Rather than letting it fall into the hands of someone like Tezzeret, the Primeval would rather you control it.
After all, whoever owns the time-space bridge holds the key to the final battle.
We would like to have more lead time, and we think you would too.”
"Niv-Mizzet wants me to take away the Time and Space Bridge?" Zuo Si asked tentatively in an uncertain tone.
Although in the War of the Spark, this ancient dragon was completely defenseless in front of Nicol Bolas, and was easily killed by the latter like crushing an ant.
But that doesn't mean he is weak, it's just that Nicol Bolas is too powerful.
In fact, in this war, Niv-Mizzet did not make a single wrong decision from beginning to end, and even successfully preserved his soul and was resurrected after the war.
That's why Zuo Si asked Nahiri to go and form an alliance with Niv-Mizzet.
"Yes.
The Primeval has sensed the thorns planted throughout the Guildpact on Ravnica.
He hopes that you can help in this regard and delay the time for Nicol Bolas to launch an attack so that he can bypass some of the terms of the contract and unite all the guilds.
As for those young planeswalkers, they were obviously too immature and could never be a match for Nicol Bolas.
Even if we grab the time-space bridge now, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep it for too long."
Ral Zarek made no attempt to conceal his purpose and explained in a straightforward manner the purpose of his visit and the release of the inter-dimensional beacon.
Zuo Si was silent for a moment, then raised his head and asked with interest, "Aren't you afraid that the beacon will not attract me but Nicol Bolas instead?"
Lal Zarek confidently replied, "No, of course not.
Given Nicol Bolas's cunning character, he would definitely not show up when the time came to rob the Planar Bridge.
Because that would be like announcing to everyone that he is the mastermind behind a series of conspiracies and turmoil in Ravnica.
I bet that no matter how powerful he is, he can't defeat the united Guildpact."
"Haha, you really have great confidence in Niv-Mizzet and the Guildpact on Ravnica.
I really hope you can maintain this optimistic spirit as you witness the true power of Nicol Bolas.
But unfortunately, I may disappoint you.
Due to some unspeakable reasons, I cannot participate in the battle to seize the time-space bridge, at least not openly.
So can I ask you for a small favor and grab that huge space-time portal?"
With a smile on his face, Zuo Si kicked the ball that the other party threw to him back.
He was not a fool. How could he not see that Niv-Mizzet wanted to use him as a pawn? He took the initiative to step forward to attract Nicol Bolas' attention.
Unfortunately, this little trick might be useful to fool inexperienced rookies like Jace, Chandra, Gideon, and Nissa.
But it had no effect at all on Zuo Si, whose heart and even soul had long been dyed black.
"I?!"
Ral Zarek was stunned.
He obviously didn't expect that he, who had only come to deliver messages and send signals, would have to participate in such an extremely dangerous battle.
Especially Tezzeret, who controlled the pipeline that transported ether energy under the city through the space-time bridge, had apparently obtained a nearly unlimited supply of mana, and was able to suppress several other planeswalkers by himself.
Although the latter is also trying to obtain energy from underground pipes or earth veins, it is obviously with little success.
Especially the Elf Planeswalker Nissa, who lost the bonus of the planet's will after leaving Zendikar and was so weak that she had little combat power. Most of the time she was responsible for healing and restraining.
On the contrary, Gideon, who possessed an immortal body, bravely launched charges again and again, using some enhanced cards with white mana to increase his destructive power in melee combat, giving people a feeling that he became more courageous as the battle went on.
As for Jace, when his main mental spells didn't have much effect, the only thing he could do was to disrupt Tezzeret's thinking and tactical coherence, and create favorable gaps for his teammates to attack.
Zuo Si nodded meaningfully: "Yes, it's you.
You have just tested me on behalf of Niv-Mizzet to see if I am worthy enough to face Nicol Bolas, and I have proven myself worthy.
Next, it should be my turn to test whether you are also qualified. So please join the battle to seize the time-space bridge immediately.
By the way, let me see the strength of the Izzet Alliance.
I suggest you act quickly, otherwise when the time-space bridge opens, who knows what will come out from the other side."
After saying that, Zuo Si made a gesture of invitation, not giving the young planeswalker in front of him any time to think.
In fact, Ral Zarek had no time to think.
As the energy of the space-time bridge gathers more and more, one can vaguely see the army of immortals on the other side ready to go.
Obviously, due to the appearance and influence of Zuo Si, Nicol Bolas drastically modified his plan, and even planned to capture the Kaladesh time and space first to obtain the inexhaustible ether energy here.
"Damn it! I shouldn't have accepted this troublesome task!"
Ral Zarek couldn't help but curse under his breath and directly connected the pipe behind the golden device hanging on his belt to the interface at the end of the heavy arm guard.
moment!
A dazzling silver-white lightning flowed along the device into the arm guard.
Immediately afterwards, his eyes began to flash silver lightning, and he slowly raised his right hand and pointed to the sky.
Boom!
Along with deafening thunder, the sky began to become covered with dark clouds.
A flash of lightning shot from the arm guard into the dark clouds in the sky, and then hundreds of thunderstorms instantly covered the time-space bridge and the location where Tezzeret was.
In a flash, lightning snakes containing destructive power began to wreak havoc on the ground.
Even the solid ground was cracked into a gap more than ten meters long, emitting a pungent burnt smell.
Although Tezzeret blocked most of the attacks with the shield he created with etherium magic, several of them still hit his abdomen, which had no internal organs and was completely replaced by mechanical parts.
This directly led to the inability to stably control the energy supply of the space-time bridge.
Before the other planeswalkers could react to what was happening, the energy gathered in the middle of the space-time bridge suddenly exploded, causing a chain of explosions in the underground pipelines that transported and stored ether energy.
In just a few seconds, the most prosperous central area of Ghirapur, the largest city in this space and time, had all gone up into the sky, even the Consulate, which was similar to a joint government agency, was no exception.
Although the law enforcement corps in Fort Valor did its best to dispatch a large number of people to organize the spread of the disaster and arrest the culprit who caused all this.
But unfortunately, they are too weak in front of the planeswalkers.
Before they could get close, they were overwhelmed by the collateral damage caused by the explosion.
Ral Zarek's fighting style fully reflects the Izzet League's consistent principle, which is to do everything possible to create more powerful, more widespread, and more destructive explosions.
After a round of thunder and lightning storm ended, he directly used the dangerous device he carried with him, leaped into the air, raised his right hand and bombarded Tezzeret.
This guy is obviously very good at large-scale group lightning and storm spells.
Moreover, when launching attacks, she was even more violent than Chandra, who was good at fire magic, and she didn't care whether it would affect other people around her.
As a result, Jace and others had to retreat a distance to avoid being accidentally injured.
Nissa's eyes widened as she asked her companions, "Who is he? Is he the helper you found? Or is he Tezzeret's enemy?"
“Don’t ask me. I don’t know either. But judging from the situation, he should be heading for Tezzeret. And he seems to have interrupted the energy stability of the space-time bridge. Now at least we don’t need to worry about the enemy’s reinforcements.”
Liliana seemed to have finally gotten rid of the backlash of the Chain Veil, and her face looked extremely pale and bloodless.
While they were talking, Ral Zarek finally completed a series of continuous and rapid feats. He drained all his energy in one breath and injected it into the device he was carrying. He raised his right hand and pointed to the sky again.
Bang!!!!
The dazzling silver lightning pierced through the dark clouds and fell into his hand like a sword, condensing into the shape of a javelin about two meters long.
Seeing this, Tezzeret, who was almost unable to take care of himself due to the electric shock, was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't dare to take it head-on and without saying a word, he wanted to activate the power of the spark to escape.
He obviously recognized Ral Zarek, and knew just as well the incredible amount of damage this rising storm mage of the Izzet League could do when he was at full strength.
Unfortunately, Tezzeret was still a step too slow in the end.
At the moment when his whole body merged into the dark void, he suddenly saw a white scene in front of him.
Then the entire lightning javelin pierced through the junction of the metal mechanical structure and the flesh and blood in his abdomen. A large amount of areas that had been transformed with the expensive magic metal Etherium melted directly into boiling liquid under high temperature, and the high-temperature metal solution burned a large area of the flesh, causing severe pain. Finally, he couldn't help but let out a scream at the moment the crack closed.
"ah!!!!!!!"
"Ral Zarek? It's you!"
Jace also recognized the other person's identity at this moment, and an expression of great surprise appeared on his face.
After all, he has been in Ravnica for many years and has even held a relatively high position.
"Indeed it is I, Jace Beleren.
I'm glad to meet you here though.
But I have more important work to do, so I'll leave first.
If you have any questions, you can go to the Izzet League and ask the original ancestor.
I have no right to explain to you what is happening.
In addition, I will also take the Space-Time Bridge."
After saying that, Ral Zarek ignored the reactions of the other planeswalkers and directly placed his hand on the huge time and space bridge to activate a magic card. Both the man and the door disappeared without a trace on the spot.
"What does he mean by that?"
Chandra blinked in confusion.
“Not sure.
But I think this must be related to the leader of the Izzet League, the old dragon who has lived for tens of thousands of years.
Perhaps he had also sensed Nicol Bolas's movements and began looking for a way to engage with the threat.
But overall this is not a bad thing.
At least the Planar Bridge is much better in Niv-Mizzet's hands than in Tezzeret and Nicol Bolas's hands.
The next step is to eliminate those in the Consulate who are being controlled and used by Tezzeret.
Otherwise, if they can build one time-space bridge, they can naturally build a second one."
Jace, the team's intellectual leader, quickly gave his analysis.
Although he was suspicious by nature and always felt that Ral Zarek was not trustworthy, he believed that Niv-Mizzet, the most senior member of the current Guildpact, would not defect to Nicol Bolas.
Otherwise, everything they are doing now will no longer have any meaning.
Nicol Bolas only needs to give Niv-Mizzet a single order to throw the entire plane of Ravnica into complete chaos.
At the same time, the city had been destroyed beyond recognition and everyone was busy with disaster relief and rescuing the wounded.
In a quiet forest on the outskirts of the city, Ral Zarek was standing in front of the time-space bridge that had just been transferred. He said in a slightly proud tone, "How is it, respected Lord Soth, my performance just now was not bad, right? Have I now proved that the Izzet Alliance is qualified to form an alliance with you?"
"Of course. You did a great job, much better than I thought.
Say hello to Niv-Mizzet for me.
And tell him that the promise I made will always be valid no matter when he needs it.
In addition, I'll give you this little thing as a reward."
After that, Zuo Si threw a magic ring that could release the seventh-level [Spell Reversal] once a day to the other party, then walked straight to the time and space bridge, activated the power of the Planeswalker Spark, and turned it into a precious card with unique attributes.
Having a time-space bridge means that one can ignore the distance in space and allocate resources within one's control between different worlds or even universes, and even launch an unprecedented cross-time-space war...
