dark!
Gloomy!
desolate!
tedious!
This is the third realm of the plane of Theros besides the mortal world and the Realm of Nyx - the Underworld.
Because the underworld is located deep underground, there is no distinction between day and night. It is the final destination of the souls of all the dead in this world.
Erebos, the god of death, is the ruler of this realm.
From the moment he was born, he was thrown by the terrified and suspicious sun god Heliod.
Because what death represents is the exact opposite of the sun, the relationship between the god of death and the god of the sun has always been tense, and it can even be said that they are each other's biggest enemies.
This is why in the original timeline, Elspeth defeated Heliod and handed him over to the care of Erebos, the god of death.
But now, as Ashiok has unleashed a world-devouring fear and nightmare, the underworld is inevitably beginning to be affected.
Countless souls of the dead, who were originally either calm or confused, have now completely fallen into a horrifying scene between reality and dreams.
Thousands of nightmares born from fear are scattered throughout the black fog of the underworld, rushing out from time to time to forcibly snatch souls away.
When they appeared again next time, they were in a completely different, distorted and terrifying form.
Moreover, as more and more nightmarish souls of the dead appear, the underworld, which has always been quite gloomy and terrifying, is becoming more and more dangerous and terrifying, like a boiling oil pan burned by firewood.
At first, Erebos, the god of death, was still trying to fulfill his duty to kill the nightmares and let the dead rest in peace.
But soon the situation got completely out of control as the number of nightmares increased exponentially.
Even he himself is twisted by the tools and nightmares of the dead souls in the underworld.
Painful human faces covered in pus-filled sores began to grow out of thin air on the abdomen, chest, arms and back.
There is no doubt that the god of death who rules the underworld is being twisted into an extremely powerful nightmare, and he has no way to deal with it. He can only watch himself go to his end.
After all, the gods of the plane of Theros all originate from the beliefs, worship, and needs of mortals.
Since Shuoyou can perfect believers and sacrifices by perfecting them, then Ansuoko can naturally transform them into nightmares under his control through fear and nightmares.
To put it simply, it is the rational application of the existing world rules.
This is also what a good planeswalker is best at.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Ansok introduced some rules from other time and space through land cards.
At this moment, the most powerful nightmare was standing in the huge black palace, staring at the god of death Erebos and the god of the dead Athreos who were kneeling on the ground and had lost their minds.
It seemed that they had been in this state for some time. The originally sacred and majestic aura had disappeared, and was replaced by a distortion into an extremely ugly appearance.
If it continues like this, within a day or two it will completely transform into a special and extremely powerful nightmare creature like the Eternal Evil.
Sudden!
A black shadow appeared out of nowhere and gradually condensed into the face of Ansuoko.
He first looked around with interest, especially at the two gods who were about to become nightmares, and then said in a very empty voice: "The Forging God Purphoros is dead. To be exact, he was killed."
"Dead? Who killed him? Xenagos?"
Nightmare, who had the same appearance as Zuo Si, raised his head in surprise.
"No, although Xenagos was involved, someone else was the one who killed the Forge God.
Or perhaps this successful hunt was his declaration of war against me.
He was inviting me to join him in the hunt for the gods of Theros as a prelude to the war.
The father of New Phyrexia was obviously very confident in himself and even wanted to play a challenging game with me.
I think he's so confident because he either doesn't understand the extent of my influence on the world, or he has a trump card that can destroy Theros.
Which one do you think it should be?"
Ashiok turned his head and asked bluntly.
He obviously did not use teleportation magic, but rather used some kind of spell to descend a part of his consciousness.
Nightmare stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then quickly responded, “I personally tend to think the latter.
Because according to the incomplete memory fragments in my mind, Soth is not an arrogant person.
Quite the opposite.
He is always very cautious and holds many unexpected cards.
If he takes the initiative to invite you, you should be careful.
Maybe there is some unknown trap hidden inside."
"So you want me to ignore or simply refuse to participate in this game of hunting the gods?"
There was a strong sense of uncertainty in Ashiok's tone.
"No, I'm just reminding you that if you are not sure of winning, it's best not to respond. Because this time the opponent is not the small character you met before, but a dangerous person who is truly capable of threatening your life."
After saying this, Nightmare no longer paid attention to his creator, raised his hands and began to control the fear and nightmares that permeated the entire underworld, drawing strength from them to accelerate the transformation of Erebos, the god of death, and Athreos, the god of the dead.
In just a few minutes, the entire underworld began to boil under this extreme pressure. Endless fear and nightmares caused the souls of the dead to begin to scream shrilly, and some even collapsed directly, completely twisted under the black fog, and turned into absolute nightmare creatures.
To be precise, it should be an army of nightmares numbering in millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions.
Zuo Si, the nightmare created from the fear of Jinjitaxia, connected himself with the nightmare army, allowing himself to break through his original limits and become even more powerful and terrifying.
When Ansuoko saw this scene, he immediately pursed his lips and revealed a playful smile, muttering to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "Is this a trap or some kind of temptation?
Dear Soth, I am now becoming more and more interested in the fears hidden in my heart.
I really hope that when the mystery is revealed, your reaction won't be too disappointing.
Since you want to use Ragnarok of Theros as a prelude, I will grant you your wish."
As the last word came out of his mouth, the Nightmare King instantly shattered and disappeared into the shadows.
About two or three days later, the news of the fall of Erebos, the god of death, and Athreos, the god of ferrying the dead, spread quickly.
Because the gods of this world have projections in the realm of Nyx.
Anyone can find the stars and constellations in the sky that belong to their respective gods.
When a god falls, the most obvious sign is that the constellation belonging to him in the sky disappears.
After confirming this, Zuo Si immediately launched a hunt for the sea god Thassa.
Just ten hours later, this god with a mermaid-like appearance and the ability to control all giant sea beasts died.
Soon after, Mogis, the god of slaughter, Keranos, the god of storms, Evonra, the goddess of city-states, Karametra, the goddess of harvest, and Pharika, the goddess of torture, also died in this hunting competition.
In an instant, the entire night sky of Theros became dim.
Almost all mortals who were still awake realized that most of the gods they had believed in and worshipped before had fallen.
Apart from Klothys and Kruphis, the two original gods born from faith, only the constellation of Xenagos, the god of lust, is still standing, and the light of the stars is becoming brighter and brighter.
So with no other choice, people began to place their last hope on this new god, hoping that he could protect the plane of Theros from falling completely into an eternal nightmare.
The fanatical faith born of this desperation made Xenagos unprecedentedly powerful.
Even surpassing Heliod, the sun god who was once the leader of the gods.
However, only he understood that he had no ability to save the world that had been dragged into a nightmare.
There is only one person who can truly defeat Ansuoko, and that is Zuo Si, who has hunted down several gods himself, or transformed them into immortal evil gods, or made them into various artifacts.
The strength and decisiveness displayed by the latter in the process, as well as his complete lack of reverence for creatures like gods, made the God of Pleasure feel an indescribable fear.
Because he understood that if he had not chosen to cooperate in the beginning, his fate now would probably not be much better than those native gods.
"I can't believe you're working with this guy."
Elspeth stared at Xenagos who appeared out of nowhere, her face full of shock and disbelief.
She would never forget that it was the conspiracy planned by this guy in front of her that put her in danger more than once.
"Hehe, don't be so hostile, dear Elspeth Tirel.
After all, all the conflicts between us stem from Heliod, the sun god.
Now that he and his brothers and sisters are dead, let the past grudges be written off.
Besides, you don't know it, do you? In the past few days, I have teamed up with Soth to kill almost all the gods in the time and space of Theros.
Now all the faiths of mortals are gathering towards me.
Only by joining forces with me can you gain the power to shake the realm of Nyx."
After saying that, Xenagos showed a fearless smile, shrunk his body to normal size, sat down on the chair and began to drink wine unscrupulously.
"Is everything he said true?"
Ajani's eyes widened as if he couldn't believe what he heard.
Zuo Si smiled and nodded: “Yes, what Xenagos said is true.
I have slain the Forge God, the Storm God, the Sea God, and the Slaughter God with my own hands.
After all, these arrogant and conceited bastards only think about fighting each other all day long. They don't perform their duties well, let alone protect the world.
For that alone they deserve to die.
Starting today, I declare that the Age of the Old Gods on the plane of Theros has come to an end, and a new age will begin."
"You...are you judging the gods?!"
Elspeth obviously realized something, and her eyes were as if she was looking at a madman.
Zuo Si corrected meaningfully: “No, it is not judgment, but elimination, just like nature will eliminate those species that cannot keep up with environmental changes.
Believe me, this world will only be a better place without those arrogant old gods getting in the way.
What's more, even if I don't kill these gods, Ashiok will transform them into powerful nightmares.
So no matter what the reason, the old gods of the time and space of Theros must die.
The most important thing is that those gods are dead. Their existence and influence are already a thing of the past. There is no need for any discussion or debate.
Now let us talk about the coming war with the Nightmare King."
moment!
Elspeth, who originally had a lot to say, fell silent.
In contrast, Ajani Goldmane looked completely indifferent.
Because this lion-man mage had no good feelings towards the gods of the time and space of Theros. He always felt that these guys were hypocritical and arrogant, and it would be best if they all died.
Just when the atmosphere was becoming a little dull, a splash of water suddenly gushed out in mid-air, growing bigger and bigger, and finally a female mermaid with azure skin, hair and pupils walked out.
Not only does she have smooth and tender skin that would be the envy of any human woman, she also has a streamlined and soft figure, except for fins growing on her arms and receding sides, and a blue crystal on her forehead that is not sure whether it is a decoration or part of the skull.
"Kiora? Didn't you say you weren't interested in this?"
Ajani's tone was filled with intense surprise.
Obviously, the person in front of him is another famous planeswalker from the Zendikar time and space - "Mermaid" Kiora.
But unlike the elven mage Nissa, although she also has the idea of protecting her hometown, she is more inclined to sophisticated selfishness and does not care about the life and death of others at all.
In the time and space of Seros alone, this guy once created a tsunami to attract deep-sea monsters, which resulted in the city-state of Meletis suffering an unimaginable disaster.
Not only that, Kiora also impersonated the sea god Thassa for a period of time, and was almost killed after being discovered by the latter.
It can be said that this female merman is the epitome of most of the new generation of planeswalkers who travel around after igniting their spark.
Because they can run away anytime and anywhere, they always do whatever they want without restraint. When they lose interest, they will just walk away, without caring about the impact and damage their actions will bring to the world.
Facing Ajani's questioning, Kiora raised the corners of her mouth slightly and revealed a smile, and turned her gaze directly to Zuo Si.
"I did say that I did not want to join you in dealing with Ashiok. But this does not prevent me from paying my highest respects to this great lord and willingly offering a little help."
After that, Kiora placed one hand on her chest and bowed gracefully.
"You witnessed me killing the sea god Thassa?"
Zuo Si asked in an uncertain tone.
As a result, Kiora nodded very simply: "Yes, I saw it from a distance.
The goddess who almost killed me is as fragile as a newborn baby in front of you.
You used that sword that gleamed with golden electricity to decapitate her, ripped out her heart, and then smelted body and weapon into a deep blue sword that could manipulate water and sea creatures.
At this moment, the entire ocean of Theros surrendered to your feet. Countless deep-sea monsters emerged from the darkness, making low sounds to mourn the dead goddess, and also cheering for your victory.
Such a powerful control over the ocean is exactly what I have always longed for."
"You wish to dominate the seas of Zendikar's plane?"
There was a barely perceptible hint of amusement in Zuo Si's eyes.
As far as he knew, this mermaid mage had indeed been traveling through different time and space, collecting all kinds of deep-sea monsters, and even worked as a thief for a period of time.
"That's right."
Kiora did not hide her intentions at all and chose to admit it openly.
After thinking for a moment, Zuo Si quickly responded with a playful smile: "Okay, I allow you to be a member of the team.
But please note that my tolerance for betrayal is very low.
If you attempt to escape or defect from this war, the consequences could be serious.
I have many ways to find and locate you in the multiverse.
So don't ever think you can get away with using your spark as a planeswalker."
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to betray and anger a powerful planeswalker who has the power to kill gods."
Kiora bent again and bowed deeply in submission.
So far, this small team temporarily formed by Zuo Si already has four planeswalkers and a former planeswalker who later transformed into a god of the time and space of Theros.
"I hope so. Now, let us discuss how we can thwart Ashiok's attempt to turn this world into a nightmare, and kill him once and for all."
As Zuo Si blurted out these words, a warrior in armor suddenly rushed in from outside, shouting breathlessly: "No... It's bad! Outside... There are many nightmare creatures outside attacking this city-state! Their number is endless and there is no end in sight."
"What? Is Ashiok already eager to start a war?"
Elspeth jumped up from her chair.
The faces of the others also showed expressions of panic or tension.
But Zuo Si remained calm and said in a nonchalant tone: "This should not be a formal war, but just a test. After all, those nightmares transformed from the souls of mortals and the dead are at best cannon fodder."
"But these nightmares are enough to kill every living person in our city!"
Controlled by fear and excitement, the human warrior who came in to report the news was shaking uncontrollably all over.
The reason is very simple.
Right now, all mortals in the entire space and time of Theros will immediately begin to have uncontrollable nightmares as soon as they close their eyes.
Once you are trapped in a nightmare, you may never wake up again, and slowly be tortured by fear to the point of losing your rationality, turning into one twisted nightmare after another.
The only preventive measure is to avoid deep sleep.
Just close your eyes and take a nap for a few minutes, and then quickly ask the awake person to wake you up by all means.
This means that they have no chance to rest properly, and everyone is in a state of tension, irritability, anger and weakness.
"Relax, these are just nightmares. How can we kill Ashiok if we can't even kill a few cannon fodder?"
As he spoke, Zuo Si was the first to take the lead in leaving the temple that originally belonged to the sun god Heliod, and went straight to the city wall outside where close combat had already begun.
Because nightmare creatures can have a huge impact on people's spirit and will, and even induce the most terrifying fantasies in the subconscious, it is very difficult for these mortal warriors to deal with them.
Fortunately, the priests who defected to Xenagos frantically cast their magic spells on the soldiers, which could bring them happiness and desire.
As the god of lust, the power that Xenagos bestows on his priests may be a little too unsightly in the eyes of conservatives, but it is surprisingly effective against nightmare creatures.
Because whether it is excitement, pleasure, or physical desire, it can effectively dispel fear and make a person brave and fearless.
You can never tell how outrageous a guy with horny brains can be.
Some male soldiers even had small tents in their pants, and then they suddenly became as vigorous as dragons and tigers, chasing after the nightmare creatures that were swarming up the city walls.
"Hahahaha! Look! This is the power of joy!"
Xenagos laughed wildly with triumph.
After all, after experiencing this incident, this city-state will probably be completely thrown into his arms from top to bottom, and even if a new god is born in the future, it will not shake the foundation of faith.
"Is this also part of your plan?"
Ai Zibei was obviously very surprised by this result, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Zuo Si beside her.
她有点无法相信,谢纳戈斯这种放荡堕落的神,居然能在对抗梦魇大军的时候发挥如此重要的作用。
左思似笑非笑的解释道:“在我的故乡曾经流传着一句半开玩笑的话,只要色胆足够大、女鬼也得放产假。
这句话充分说明了色欲所蕴含的巨大力量。
它不仅能让懦弱的人变得勇敢乃至疯狂,同样也能帮助人们暂时摆脱恐惧的影响。
所以谢纳戈斯的神力在某种程度上就是用来克制梦魇最有力的武器。
因为一切充满激情的东西,对于梦魇而言都是最可怕的毒药。
看看那些战士在处于兴奋状态时刺穿、砍中梦魇生物时所造成的致命伤口就足以说明一切了。”
“可这种亢奋状态维持不了多久的。一旦这些战士的欲望开始消退,梦魇所造成的恐惧就会再一次影响到他们的精神和意志。”
阿耶尼眉头紧皱说出了自己的担忧。
要知道城外的梦魇数量实在是太多了,密密麻麻一眼望不到尽头,前边不管死多少都会从地平线上冲出更多。
“放松点,这不是还有我们吗?”左思低头轻轻亲吻了一下怀中女儿的额头,然后把这个小家伙高高举过头顶,让她能够清楚看到一望无际的梦魇大军。“我的小宝贝,这些家伙现在全部都是你的玩具了。”
话音未落!
小安妮两只眼睛的瞳孔骤然间开始闪烁淡紫色的幽光,随后张开小手发出一阵咯咯咯的笑声。
下一秒……
一个肉眼可见的黑洞突然间出现在城邦外面空旷的平原上,并且向周围释放出无法用语言形容的巨大引力。
数以万计狂奔中的梦魇生物连反应都还没反应过来就被一股脑的吸了进去。
更要命的是这个用魔法制造出来的黑洞并不是静止的,而是在小安妮的操控下四处移动。
才短短不到十秒钟,那遮天蔽日的黑色梦魇大军就仿佛被一块橡皮擦从地平线上擦掉了。
那骇人的景象不光是把守卫自家城邦的凡人士兵吓傻了,就连另外几位旅法师都目瞪口呆有点不敢相信这是一个婴儿干的。
哪怕是见识过小安妮力量的艾紫培、阿耶尼也不例外。
没过多久地平线上就已经看不到前赴后继的梦魇生物了。
而那个黑洞则原地消失,只剩下一个被压缩成米粒大小的能量团。
小安妮直接抓住包裹着黑色烟雾的能量团,然后直接塞进怀中那个用上古之神血肉制作而成的玩偶里边。
瞬间!
一股无比黑暗邪恶的能量冲天而起,形成了高达上千米的能量柱。
但这种壮观无比的画面只持续不到一秒钟便消失殆尽。
取而代之的是,那个也不知道究竟是什么玩意的抽象玩偶,眼睛里开始闪烁着令人毛骨悚然的暗红色幽光。
如果稍微靠近一点,还能听到某些诡异的低语和喘息声。
“这看上去可不像是个正常孩子的玩具!”
阿耶尼嘴角抽搐着吐槽了一句。
艾紫培则更是一脸恐惧的盯着玩偶,直截了当的问左思:“你确定这玩意不会突然失控吗?我敢打赌,要是它被释放,造成的灾难跟后果可比刚才那一大群梦魇生物可怕多了。”
“嗯——大概、也许、差不多能控制住吧。毕竟安妮的自我意识就快要形成了,应该不至于……”
左思的话还没等说完,他怀中的女儿就把手里的玩偶朝城市外面扔了出去。
在半空中,这个原本只有三十多厘米、外形像是毛绒布偶的东西就急速膨胀。
当落地的时候已经是个足有上千米高扭曲且不可名状的超巨型缝合怪。
其主要的身体和躯干像是完全由能量构成的梦魇生物,体表密密麻麻布满了恐惧和绝望的人脸面具,而头部和四肢则是完全被大大小小的触须所取代。
在触须的末端依稀可以看到密密麻麻的眼睛,以及位于中段的大嘴和锋利牙齿。
一只宛如上古之神克苏恩的巨大眼睛与身体完全分离开,漂浮在成千上万触手的顶端。
这个恐怖的怪物单纯只是出现后释放了一个心灵冲击,就让正前方森林连带道路直接粉碎成原子状态。
一些城内的凡人在看到那只悬浮在天空上的巨大眼睛后,立刻便开始胡言乱语、变得疯疯癫癫精神不正常。
正当左思准备出手处理善后的刹那,一个更加巨大、扭曲的梦魇从天而降,同时还散发着浓郁的死亡气息。
这家伙仅仅只是抬起手指了一下,其中一段城墙上的数百名士兵便当场倒地暴毙。
“那是……死神厄睿柏斯?”
谢纳戈斯瞬间认出了这个已经变成梦魇的神明。
“呵呵,试探结束终于开始要上主菜了吗?”
左思立刻停止了一切动作,任由小安妮的玩具主动冲向死神厄睿柏斯发起进攻。
轰! 伴随着震耳欲聋的巨响和震动,两者终于碰撞到一起开始扭打和厮杀,就连头顶的天空都因此而撕裂成两半。
脚下的大地更是无法承受惊人的能量释放而凹陷下去。
还没等分出胜负,又一个同样巨大的身影降落在城内,挥舞手中像是镰刀一样的武器朝众人所在的位置来了一记横扫。
那骇人的威力当场让城墙连带上边驻扎的战士全部崩溃瓦解。
不过很可惜,这一击偷袭并没能达成目的。
无论是几名旅法师还是谢纳戈斯这个贪欢之神都成功提前逃离。
“这是渡亡神雅睿欧斯!安梭苛这个家伙真的把神变成了梦魇生物!不!应该说是梦魇之神!”
看着冥界的两大神明现如今的样子,阿耶尼只觉得头皮发麻,同时对梦魇之王的忌惮也在不断地上升。
可就在他以为眼前两个梦魇化的神就是今天晚上的主菜时,更多梦魇化的神明降临了。
太阳神赫利欧德、胜利之神伊洛安斯、欺瞒之神斐纳克、狩猎女神倪勒娅……
所有曾经被安梭苛杀死的神,此刻都以梦魇的形态重现。
不仅如此!
他还把这些神明内心之中的恐惧具象化,然后与死去的神明相融合。
那种无法用语言形容的亵渎、疯狂、扭曲和病态,就像是瘟疫般迅速席卷了这座城邦所有的凡人。
正当街道上站满了精神崩溃的人时,安梭苛终于带着自己最强的梦魇降临了。
他毫不费力的锁定了左思,然后大笑着询问:“哈哈哈哈!如何,你喜欢我布置的盛大欢迎仪式吗?”
左思面带微笑的回答道:“就数量而言还不错,只是不知道质量如何。另外,我还想要再夸奖你一句,这套开战即决战的策略相当不错。毕竟懂得在赌桌上梭哈也是一种智慧的体现。”
“你仍旧觉得自己能赢?”
安梭苛语气中透露出强烈的惊讶。
毕竟他这一次可是出动了整整六个塞洛斯时空的梦魇神明,绝对能轻易压制除左思之外的所有人。
只要派遣最强的梦魇将其拖住先各个击破,到时候的场面就会是集结这些梦魇神明的力量群殴赢得最终胜利。
当然,安梭苛并不追求能真的杀死左思这样的旅法师,只要能击败对手并逐出塞洛斯时空即可。
“这句话应该我来问你才对。是什么给了你能靠一个冒牌货赢我的自信?”
左思死死盯着那个梦魇形态的自己露出了轻蔑的笑容。
正如他预料中的一样。
这个从金吉塔厦恐惧中诞生的家伙远没有继承自己当时所有的力量,更不用提成为半个黑暗维度领主之后所获得的巨大加持。
只不过由于一些比较麻烦的能力,杀起来可能会稍微需要费一点功夫。
不过没关系,左思正好想要测试一下自己新获得的能力。
“哼!我倒要看看你究竟能够嘴硬到什么时候。”
安梭苛猛地抬起手将无数象征思维与意识的丝线释放出去,注入到那些梦魇神明的体内。
转瞬之间!
这些原本看上去死板呆滞的家伙,眼睛里就有了灵动的神采,仿佛被赋予了智慧一样,立刻冲向威胁最大的贪欢之神谢纳戈斯。
尽管后者在信仰和崇拜的加持下已经变得十分强大,但也依旧无法抵挡这么多梦魇神明的围攻。
才几个回合就已经有点招架不住节节败退,一边退还一边大喊:“别傻站着!快来帮忙!”
艾紫培听到后,二话不说便拎着圣剑冲向死神。
因为圣剑的力量刚好完美克制死神的力量,只要攻击得受就能对其造成巨大的伤害。
阿耶尼则迎上了猎神,挥舞手中沉重的武器压制对方迫使其无法射出致命的弓箭。
而人鱼旅法师奇奥拉也召唤出了好几头巨大的海怪与欺瞒之神斐纳克邹璇。
可即便如此,谢纳戈斯仍旧需要应付好几位神明的围攻。
Especially the former mortal enemy, the sun god Heliod, whose spear that once shone with golden light has been shrouded in darkness, becoming impossible to capture and distinguish.
If you are not careful, you may get punctured or cut.
But Zuo Si ignored Xenagos's embarrassment, and directly placed little Annie in his arms at his feet, then drew his sword and slowly walked forward, asking his other nightmare self in an emotionless tone: "Are you ready to face your own death?"
"No, I'm ready to kill you and take your place."
In response, Nightmare drew out a sword that looked similar, but was shrouded in darkness and fear.
"Haha, then let's see for ourselves."
As the last word came out of his mouth, the time, space, and reality around Zuo Si's body began to distort, and he instantly split into thousands of himself.
In just less than a microsecond, he completed millions of attacks, including magical and physical attacks.
Even though Nightmare tried to defend and counterattack in the same way, he still failed to completely catch it. His body was pierced with hundreds of holes, and in some places where the muscles were torn so widely, one could even see the white bones inside.
But the moment the attack ended, Nightmare's almost dying and collapsed body immediately returned to its original state.
You don't need to ask to know that this is due to the blood-locking ability of the Star Dragon BUG that distorts reality.
Although this kind of distorted reality is far inferior to Zuo Si's after he became the lord of the dark dimension, it is definitely enough to save his life and recover from injuries infinitely.
It was thanks to this ability to distort reality that Nightmare was able to survive the violent attack just now.
"You've become stronger again?!"
There was obvious shock and disbelief in Nightmare's tone that could not be concealed.
After all, according to his original idea, even if the battle was not evenly matched, he could at least hold on for a while longer.
Zuo Si sneered and asked, "What else?
Are you going to continue to stay where you are? Moreover, why do you and your master think that Jinjitaxia is qualified to know all my powers and abilities? Don't be silly! If you really inherited my personality and memory, you should know that I have never completely trusted anyone from the beginning to the end.
He has never revealed his background to anyone.
So you are just a pathetic imitation, a poor imitation, a defective product."
"No! This is impossible! I am the most powerful and terrifying you in Jinjitaxia's mind! I am not a defective product!"
Nightmare's emotions had obviously become extremely unstable due to the stimulation.
This is also one of the disadvantages of nightmare creatures.
Since their powers come from nightmares and fears, their thoughts and consciousness are often very extreme and they cannot remain rational for long.
This is an instinct ingrained in the bones, just like the dead's deep hatred for the living.
"Then prove it to me. Do your best to defeat me."
Zuo Si continued to stimulate his nightmare self with words.
As a great devil and dimensional demon, playing with the psychology and spirit of his opponents is also part of the battle.
"Calm down! Don't let him lead you by the nose. Regardless of whether you are a replica, inferior product, or defective product, you are the most powerful nightmare under my command. You should be his fear, not his tool."
Ansuoko suddenly spoke to stabilize the mental state of Nightmare Zuo Si, who was almost out of control.
"Become my fear? Are you sure he can do that? Or do you really understand what the fear in my heart is?"
Zuo Si raised the corner of his mouth slightly and gave the other party a provocative expression.
"Oh? In that case, why don't you remove all the mental protection and let me take a peek into your inner world?"
Ansok is undoubtedly a master of psychological warfare, and he wants to drag his opponent into his own rhythm.
The two of them stared at each other for three to five seconds, and Zuo Si couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahahaha! You want to peek into my heart, into the fear deep in my memory? No problem! But since you want to play this game, what are your chips?"
"What do you want?"
Ansok was obviously very surprised. He never dreamed that the father of New Phyrexia would dare to play with fire in the field he was best at.
"How about we open our hearts at the same time and connect our minds? This way you can peek into my memories and thoughts, and I can peek into yours. This is the fairest thing."
Zuo Si's eyes flashed with absolute confidence that was almost insane, and he calmly extended the invitation...
