Due to insufficient preparation and lack of knowledge about the abilities, talents and magic systems of various races, they are simply unable to adapt to the complex, changeable, dangerous and fraudulent environment here.
Take Captain America as an example. The reason why he was put into the Mind Flayer's slavery circle was because he lacked the most basic vigilance. He was deceived by a shapeshifter disguised as a beautiful and weak elf girl, and allowed the other party to put the "wreath" around his neck.
Needless to say, what is hidden inside that "wreath" is the famous slavery collar.
Not to mention himself, even the most vigilant Black Widow in the team did not notice anything wrong until the collar was completely integrated with his flesh and blood, causing Steve Rogers to leave the team and go to the strip club.
There are many similar deceptions and traps in the huge cyberpunk city.
As long as you leave the safe zone, it won't be long before you encounter them one after another, making it hard to guard against.
What's even more terrible is that reading memories and thoughts is simply innumerable in this environment filled with arcane, divine, psionic, and innate spell abilities.
This means that when the "hunters" decide to take action, they often already know the target "prey" very well and know how to gain the other party's trust.
If you don't have the corresponding resistance, immunity and magic equipment, it's basically like running naked on the street.
Especially those who have been in the black street and gray area for a long time, as long as they have money, they will try to buy a necklace, amulet, ring, belt, helmet or other things that are immune to psychic power.
Otherwise, as soon as you step in, your brain will become a book that can be read by others at will, and it will not be able to hide any secrets at all.
But the members of the Avengers obviously have neither of these qualities, and they are unknowingly involved in the fights between gangs, mercenaries, and adventurers. At the same time, they wantonly destroy and trample on the rules of the underworld during the investigation.
It can basically be said that the DEBUFF is fully stacked.
If it weren't for their background in the Human Union and the fact that Human Union was an important client of Batto Hell Bank, they would probably not be able to survive even for a day.
Fortunately, this group of superheroes have now returned to the safe zone and are sitting in a restaurant on the top floor of a building, eating and listening to the newly sent permanent representative talk about the civil war that broke out on Earth not long ago and the current international situation.
"You mean... the reason why Hydra was able to parasitize SHIELD and almost seize the supreme power was entirely our own fault? Was it Operation Paperclip initiated by Peggy and Howard that led to all this?"
Captain America felt bad after hearing how the Hydra organization cut off one head and grew two heads.
You have to know that he risked his life to stop the Red Skull.
But what is the result?
Instead of receiving the punishment they deserved, those bastards who committed crimes against humanity were summoned to join S.H.I.E.L.D. and enjoy a life with high salaries and benefits, while continuing to engage in their favorite research.
What made Steve Rogers even more unacceptable was that the person who did this was his beloved girlfriend and best friend.
If being forced to sell my ass before only hurt my body and self-esteem, then I am really sad now.
Because he felt betrayed by the country he was loyal to and all the people he trusted.
Even the so-called memorials and propaganda are full of irony and black humor.
The colors and symbols of the American flag, which were once so proud of on the shield and uniform, now make it look like a ridiculous clown.
The representative smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yes, this is all our own fault.
But this cannot be blamed on the people who made the decision at that time.
After all, the top scientific researchers have always been the object of competition among countries.
Especially after the end of World War II, the two super military powers, the United States and the Soviet Union, began a full-scale Cold War and confrontation.
At this time, whoever can absorb the knowledge, technology and talents left over from defeated Germany faster and better will gain a huge advantage in the subsequent competition.
Hence Operation Paperclip.
Who would have thought that a group of scientists were all loyal supporters of Hydra's creed, and even quietly infiltrated and developed within SHIELD?
But fortunately, it is all over at last.
Although the current Hydra leader Grant Ward often makes some outrageous remarks and promotes human supremacy, he advocates that we should go beyond the earth to explore the starry sky like in the Age of Exploration and carry out a series of activities including trade and colonization.
But overall he is not an unreasonable madman or psychopath, it's just that his thoughts and ideas are a little radical.
And his speech was really inspiring.
According to polls, his approval rating has skyrocketed from less than 10 percent at the beginning to 37 percent today. He is very likely to become the supreme leader of mankind in the future."
"Let a Hydra lead all of humanity?
Oh my god!
Why did we fight so hard against Nazi Germany and the Hydra led by Johann Schmidt? You know, that war led to the deaths of millions of young people in many countries.
But now all their sacrifices are no longer meaningful.
This is blasphemy!
It is an insult! It is a trampling on their lives and dignity!"
After saying these words filled with anger and dissatisfaction, Steve Rogers stood up angrily and left without looking back.
His action obviously startled the representative, who quickly shouted, "Where are you going?"
"Go have a drink!"
There was obvious resentment in Captain America's voice.
But you can't blame him for that.
If anyone were to learn that the great and just cause they once fought for and the countless comrades who sacrificed their lives for it were completely denied, they would inevitably have negative emotions.
This is also the most terrifying thing about historical nihilism.
In fact, he was very restrained as he didn't go crazy or mad.
In contrast, the other members of the team only have impressions of Hydra from documents and books, so they don't have any deep-rooted hatred and naturally won't react as violently as Captain America.
After a brief silence, Tony Stark pointed at the soldiers in camouflage uniforms queuing to enter a building outside the window and asked in an uncertain tone: "What's going on with these soldiers? Judging from the scale, there should be at least tens of thousands of them, right?"
“They are here for enhanced transformation.
We now need to build an army, an army that can fight and win space wars.
The Astartes Space Marines had already proven their worth in the previous Civil War.
According to the plan of the Newcomer Alliance, 50,000 of the most elite active troops will arrive in Baator Hell one after another.
This is part of the latest loan agreement to strengthen our landing combat capabilities.
They will become the sharpest sword and the strongest shield for colonial development, protecting the interests of all mankind from infringement by alien civilizations.
In addition, the Human Alliance passed a bill allowing the use of clones to form an army.
Currently, there are more than 50 million high-quality embryos in a state of rapid development inside the huge artificial uterus group.
After a maximum of six months, the embryos will grow into qualified soldiers and receive training.
That means that in one year, we will launch our first colonial war to harvest souls and repay our huge debt."
The representative concealed nothing and openly told everyone the entire plan of the Human Rights Alliance.
Because based on the information obtained from the Skrulls, the top leaders of the Human Union already know that all decent forces in the universe basically have special individuals similar to superheroes.
If the people on Earth want to fight against them, or even kill or capture them, they must rely on the power of the Avengers.
Therefore, whether it is Hydra or representatives of other countries, what they want to do now is to transform the Avengers from their original passive defense to active attack.
But this is obviously not an easy task.
Because they want to wage a war of aggression, invade the planets of other alien civilizations, and massacre the aliens living there.
This is obviously a huge moral black spot.
Especially since not all members of the Avengers are originally dirty agents like Hawkeye and Black Widow.
There is also the billionaire and super genius Tony Stark, the kind-hearted Bruce Banner who has seven doctorates, Steve Rogers who regards honor and justice as the highest pursuits, and Thor, the crown prince of the powerful space civilization Asgard. Everyone may refuse or even withdraw.
"Plundering souls through foreign wars and shifting the huge internal contradictions? Why does this script sound familiar?" Iron Man sneered sarcastically.
"If the people of Earth take the initiative to provoke a war, Asgard will no longer fulfill its obligation to protect you."
Thor also expressed his attitude clearly.
Although he was not very talented in politics, he could tell the difference between defense and active invasion.
“Gentlemen, please calm down.
You have to understand that this was not our own choice, but we were forced into this situation by the cruel environment.
Whether it's owing a huge soul debt to the Bank of Hell, or becoming food for other civilizations if they don't actively expand, only by taking this path can the crisis be resolved.
What's more, the earth cannot always rely on protection from the outside world, we must also have our own strength.
This is not a risk to satisfy the interests of a few, but a risk to ensure a better future for all mankind.”
The representative tried hard to persuade the two people who were the first to express strong dissatisfaction.
But unfortunately, Thor didn't buy it at all and got up to go drink with Captain America.
In contrast, although Tony Stark's face was still very ugly after pondering for a long time, he still chose to stay.
Because he knew very well that after so many accidents had happened, the people on Earth really had no other choice.
After all, launching a foreign war and letting aliens die is much better than starting a civil war and killing billions of your own compatriots.
Dr. Banner, who was standing by, also held his forehead with his hand and looked embarrassed. He opened his mouth several times and wanted to say something, but in the end, no words came out.
These two highly educated and intelligent men knew very well that it was almost impossible to prevent the outbreak of war given the current situation on Earth.
Seeing that four of the six Avengers stayed, the representative breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to talk: "According to the decision of the Supreme Council of the Human Union, we will carry out more activities in Baator Hell. The most important one is to recruit mercenaries and adventurers with powerful magical powers."
"You mean... you want to hire help here?"
Black Widow almost immediately understood the little thoughts of the higher-ups.
As someone who had personally experienced the combat effectiveness of the local gangs in this huge cyberpunk city, she undoubtedly knew what terrifying powers and talents those intelligent creatures of various appearances possessed.
If we can hire some of them to serve the Human Union, it will definitely be effective in dealing with aliens.
And most importantly, these people have no moral burden. As long as they are paid, they are willing to do anything and take any blame.
When the time comes to carry out a massacre on other planets, all we need to do is gather the prisoners and lock them up in one place, then give them the right to launch nuclear warheads or orbital weapon arrays and let them be responsible for pressing them.
In this way, they can deceive the people and say that it was an accident, caused by those "cruel and bloodthirsty" mercenaries. Then they can secretly give them a hush money and fire and repatriate the mercenaries who took the blame "as a punishment."
The representative looked at the beautiful female spy meaningfully, then nodded with a smile: "That's right.
The Supreme Council came up with a plan to try to hire about a thousand powerful mercenaries to participate in foreign wars.
If the effect is good, we will continue to add more in the future.
I want you and Hawkeye to be in charge of recruiting.
Here is a devil's contract with powerful magical binding force that can ensure that the mercenaries will obey our orders.
I also spent some money to reserve advertising space on several websites that are most used by mercenaries and adventurers.
If nothing unexpected happens, a large number of people will come for interviews in the next few days."
"What? There's a website dedicated to mercenaries and adventurers? You can even advertise here?"
Dr. Banner was completely stunned.
Although he was often deeply shocked by this huge city these days, and even felt that it was more capitalized than any other country on Earth, he never expected it to be able to achieve this level.
You must know that special professions such as mercenaries and bounty hunters are strong destabilizing factors for any regime.
They often do all kinds of incredible and even crazy things for money.
The more such people there are in an area, the worse the security environment tends to be.
Unless the government is seriously dysfunctional, corrupt, and on the verge of collapse, it is in the interest of those in power to strike ruthlessly against this group of people.
Obviously, the government of the huge cyberpunk city does not have the above problems. It is even very powerful and has the ability to expel gods who do not abide by the laws and rules of the game.
This is also why Dr. Banner doesn't understand this.
The representative responded half-jokingly: "You can simply think of this as the United States in the 19th and early 20th centuries."
The United States between 1800 and 1930? After hearing this explanation, everyone present looked thoughtful.
After all, Iron Man, Hawkeye, and Dr. Banner are all authentic old American stars and stripes, and they are familiar with their own history of just over two hundred years.
As an ace spy trained by another superpower on Earth during the Cold War, Black Widow has naturally studied the enemy's history in depth and is quite familiar with what happened during this period.
In that era when capital was growing wildly, the government and its officials were basically the spokespersons for capital, or simply were big capital themselves.
They collude with gangs to gain votes by controlling unions and neighborhoods, and use threats, intimidation, assassination, political suppression, etc. to eliminate competitors so that they can achieve a monopoly in a certain industry or multiple fields and reap huge profits.
Because of the mutual need, the history of gangs runs almost throughout the history of the development of the United States.
Its presence is behind both capital and politics.
Some families later successfully cleaned themselves up and became an extremely important force in politics.
So when the representative used his own example, the four people present immediately understood why mercenaries, adventurers, bounty hunters and black street gangs have been able to exist for a long time and even formed a huge industrial chain.
It's not because of their strength that the devils on the ninth level of Baator Hell dare not take action, but simply because the devils need their existence.
In other words, they are an indispensable part of the huge social ecology here.
“Okay, I think I see what you mean.
It seems that when I die and go to hell, I should be able to adapt to the environment here quickly.
Because it's like a super-enhanced version of the United States.
I can’t believe that we have actually been living in hell, or even worse than hell.
At least when you come here, you will get a small apartment of your own, and you can enjoy free food and entertainment for a while, without having to worry about being hunted down for no reason just because you have some superpowers, and then thrown into a laboratory and locked up like a monkey. "
Dr. Banner took off his glasses and complained crazily.
You have to know that because he was hunted all over the world by General Ross and his men, he has always been full of distrust and hostility towards the government and the military.
However, the representative obviously did not care about this, instead he said with pride: "This is also an important prerequisite for us to cooperate happily with the Great Demon Lord Soth.
After all, apart from interests, values are also very important.
Look at the tens of millions of souls that come from Earth every year and who can integrate into the afterlife almost without any obstacles.
Even more than 90 percent of them enjoy it and think that life now is easier and more pleasant than when they were alive.
Some religious groups even view it as a generous gift and salvation.
A commissioner from the People's Federation has proposed producing a special program to introduce the real situation here to the public in order to reduce the fear of death.
Because death is not an end, but a new beginning."
Obviously, it is not difficult to see from the representative's remarks that he has no idea about the operating mechanism of Baator Hell and the final destination of these souls.
After all, all the devils in the entire ninth level abide by a strict confidentiality system. The purpose is to make all souls degenerate and sink in extreme happiness like raising pigs, until they are sent to the torture room and all their energy is squeezed out.
In Zuo Si's understanding, evil should not be painful, at least not completely.
Instead, we should follow the physiological structure of mortals and allow them to obtain constant stimulation, pleasure, and happiness from them, just like gambling, alcoholism, taking addictive drugs, consumption, and exercising that is beneficial to their physical and mental health, which are things that can make people addicted.
Just like that, under the persuasion of the permanent representative, Black Widow and Hawkeye took on the task of recruiting mercenaries, and even invited a great wizard as a consultant through an intermediary website to confirm the magical ability and level of the interviewees.
As the Human Union began to further strengthen its connection with the ninth layer of Baator Hell, the Human Union's war machine finally began to operate at full capacity.
In particular, the huge spiritual debt that is growing every day is like a whip that severely lashes the buttocks of those bureaucrats who originally like to shirk responsibility and argue.
Because they know very well that if this debt eventually explodes, the consequences will not be as simple as default and a decline in credit rating, but that all of humanity will fall into the abyss.
And the devils don't waste time distinguishing between the poor and the rich.
Facts have proved that for the bureaucracy, a special social group, there is always a sword hanging over their heads.
否则一旦能够产生威慑力的剑消失了，他们就会像夏天的食物一样迅速腐烂变质。
……
另外一边，远在穆塔哈尔浮空城的中央实验室内，左思正在欣赏着金吉塔厦和瓦什托尔向自己展示的实验成果，一个被塞进活体金属“惧亡外皮”的泰坦星魂。
“伟大的新非瑞克西亚之父，请看。
我们已经找到了控制这些宛如神明和造物主一样强大生物的方法。
以这位艾欧娜尔为例，只需要将星魂反复震荡、撕裂足够多的次数，其记忆和意识就会出现不可避免的损伤。
但有趣的地方在于这种损伤并不会真正破坏她的力量，因此我们相当于发现了一种可以重塑泰坦人格的手段。
通过亚空间烁油这个工具，我们成功抹除了她过去的一切将其变成一张干净的白纸。
现如今这位艾欧娜尔已经是您最最忠实仆从跟信徒。”
金吉塔厦指着与原本高大粗壮外形截然不同的艾欧娜尔做了详细的介绍。
此时此刻，这位泰坦万神殿中唯一的女性，看起来只有一米七左右的身高，在太空死灵活性金属的的塑造下呈现出十六七岁猫耳少女的模样。
她不仅有一头泛着金属光泽的银色长发和看上去毛茸茸尾巴，而且五官也扁的格外柔和清秀，大量绿色的植物和花卉包裹在皮肤外面形成了类似衣服一样的效果，手上还握着那根神器——雪花石膏法杖，整个人精致的就如同大号手办。
这要是让战锤宇宙的塔拉辛看到八成就走不动道了。
“你们用烁油完化了她的精神？”
左思伸出手轻轻抚摸着那对猫耳，发现活性金属不愧是太空死灵最伟大的发明创造之一，明明是金属但手感却跟真正的毛发没有任何区别。
甚至可以感受到毛发表面从体内溢出的庞大生命之力与自然之力。
艾欧娜尔则如同宠物般露出十分享受的表情，甚至还会发出宛如喵喵叫的轻微呻吟声，简直把福瑞控的XP拿捏的恰当好处。
而且作为生命和自然的泰坦，她还能使用自然变身变化成各种各样的动物。
哪怕用屁股想也知道，这绝对是两个疯狂研究者为讨好左思而故意设计出来的。
瓦什托尔显然注意到了主人的反应，咧开嘴微笑着回应道：“不，我们并没有完化她的精神。、
或者说已经觉醒且拥有自我意识的泰坦星魂就像星神一样，根本不可能被真正意义上完化。
以萨格拉斯为例，他之所以会被完化是因为有实体的关系。
如果有一天他的身体在战斗中被更强大的力量摧毁，那么星魂立刻就会重新恢复自由，不再受到烁油的影响。
就如同阿古斯撕碎腐化堕落的阿格拉玛身体后，其星魂立刻便会得到净化是一个道理。
我们仅仅只是把艾欧娜尔的记忆、意识和人格通过不断粉碎的方式搅了个稀巴烂，然后再用亚空间烁油作为粘合剂把它们拼凑起来。
如此一来，在粘合的过程中就可以加入一点其他的东西来扭曲认知。
当所有这些碎片与亚空间烁油融为一体后，她就变成了现在这副模样。
而且最重要的是，亚空间烁油的存在确保了她永远也不会背叛你，而是会将您视作主人、挚爱、父亲、创造者等最亲近的存在。
不过眼下这种技术还存在非常大的缺陷跟弊端。
比如说在撕碎星魂重新拼凑的过程中，其智力水平会大幅度的退步，甚至是回归到婴儿的状态。
需要很长一段时间才能缓慢恢复。
在此期间，艾欧娜尔恐怕无法胜任同等水平下的高强度战斗。”
“原来如此。怪不得她给人的感觉就像是只小动物一样。”
左思把手从头顶的猫耳朵转移到下边上轻轻挠了挠。
瞬间！
艾欧娜尔原本的人类外形就迅速在自然之力的帮助下变成了一只银色的大猫，而且还整个反过来露出了肚皮，不断开心的摇晃着尾巴。
“伟大的新非瑞克西亚之父，我希望您能开放给我们更高的权限，让我们在其他泰坦星魂上继续测试这项技术及其延伸的应用。我们保证用不了多久，便会给出一个解决星神的可行方案。”
兜了半天圈子，“瓦半仙”终于露出自己真正的意图。
很显然，区区一个艾欧娜尔并不能满足他和金吉塔厦两人旺盛的求知欲与研究热情。
毕竟每一个泰坦星魂所掌握的力量都有所不同。
比如说阿曼苏尔的时间之力，高戈奈斯的风暴与闪电之力，卡兹格罗斯的大地与火焰之力，诺甘农的秘法之力等等。
泰坦星魂就像是巨大的宝藏，足以让研究者为之疯狂和痴迷。
左思显然非常清楚眼前这俩家伙是什么货色，忍不住笑着反问道：“所以你们故意把艾欧娜尔塑造成我喜欢的样子，就是为了能获得研究其他泰坦星魂的权限？”
“没错！不光是星神，我们还可以通过这项研究帮助艾泽拉斯的星魂提前苏醒成为您的孩子。”
金吉塔厦信誓旦旦的给出了承诺。
作为整个新非瑞克西亚体系中跟左思关系最亲密的魔判官，他无疑是最清楚烁油主宰的需求和内心之中真正想要什么。
让艾泽拉斯星魂提前苏醒？ 左思眯起眼睛似乎在思考这件事情成功的几率究竟有多大，足足过了好几分钟才回复道：“好，我同意给你们俩开放更高的权限对所有泰坦星魂进行实验。不过有一个除外，那就是最初的泰坦阿曼苏尔。因为我需要吞噬他，吸收他的时间与奥术之力。”
“感谢您的慷慨与仁慈，我就知道您一定会答应的。另外，关于那台机器我们已经按照要求制造出来了，随时可以投入使用。”
瓦什托尔眼睛里猛然间喷射出炙热的火光，以彰显主人内心之中的兴奋跟激动。
要知道以他原本那点可怜的力量，根本不足以捕获像泰坦星魂、星神、神明、类神力这样站在各自宇宙生态位顶点的超级生命体，更不用提进行深入的研究了。
可自从被完化加入新非瑞克西亚之后，像这种等级的实验体那是一个接一个，甚至都有了根据需要来排先后顺序这样的幸福烦恼。
“哦？这么快就造好了？”
左思明显露出十分意外的神情。
金吉塔厦赶忙点了点头解释道：“这多亏了这段时间对于泰坦星魂的深入研究成果，以及瓦什托尔带来的大量亚空间灵能科技。
而且如果我们的推断没错的话，其实星神应该也是可以如法炮制的。
太空死灵当年如果能反复使用他们的超级武器将星神打得再碎一点，以他们的科技水平完全有可能做到彻底奴役和控制星神。”
说话的功夫，这位蓝色魔判官径朝房间最里边角落里指了指。
透过他宛如镰刀般锋利手指的方向，可以清楚的看到一台巨大且闪烁着宛如恒星般刺眼明亮光芒的装置。
左思径直走到近前，释放出一丝能量来感受这台魔法与科技相结合的最高杰作，很快便搞清楚了其中的原理，头也不回的问：“你确定它能力将泰坦星魂的力量完全剥离吗？”
“嗯，是的，非常确定。只要您愿意，现在就可以夺取阿曼苏尔的力量。”
说着，金吉塔厦捧起那个封印着泰坦万神殿创立者的球体送到了新非瑞克西亚之父的面前。
左思也不客气，直接打开封印取出里边的星魂就要往机器里边塞。
“不！！！！！快停下！你这个该死的亵渎者！你究竟想要对我和我的同胞们做什么？”
众神之父怒不可遏的声音立马在实验室内回荡。
如果仔细观察还能发现当他的力量开始外溢，整个实验室的时间流都陷入了一种莫名的混乱之中，惊人的奥术力量和刺眼的金色闪电不断在周围空间中回荡。
但无论阿曼苏尔如何释放他那毁天灭地的力量，最终都无法影响到房间之外的区域。
因为左思操控时间和扭曲现实的力量将其牢牢的限制住了。
要是完整体的泰坦或许还能在对抗中打个有来有回，但星魂状态下只有被完全碾压的份。
没过半个小时，这位最古老的泰坦就彻底变成了掌心一个蕴含着恐怖奥术能量的球体。
“别担心，除了你之外，其他的泰坦星魂都会在经过改造之后获得新生。我不会杀他们，而是会把他们培养成为最得力、最忠诚的手下。”
左思直截了当说出了自己对于这些被俘虏泰坦星魂的安排。
“除了我之外？！”
阿曼苏尔敏锐的抓住了一个关键词。
Zuo Si raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing the devil's signature smile, and replied, "Yes, except you. Because I have taken a fancy to your power of time and the huge arcane energy nurtured in your soul. Now I want to strip them away."
As the last word came out of his mouth, the Titan Star Soul carrying huge energy was immediately thrown into the machine in front.
The next second...
Boom!!!! The astonishing release of energy swept across everything around like a landslide.
In addition to Zuo Si and Aionar, who was also a Titan, including Jingitashya, Vashtor, and a large number of New Phyrexian creations, liches of the Arcane Mystic Society, members of the Dark Mechanicus, etc. who assisted the two in their research, all activated protective magic and devices and escaped as quickly as possible.
Not only that!
Before they left, they did not forget to take away all the remaining spheres that sealed the star souls.
Eventually, the space of this laboratory collapsed completely, falling into a void filled with chaotic timelines all around.
Just lightly touch the timelines that float like smoke, and you can immediately hear the angry and desperate roar from Aman'thul.
Because at this moment, his consciousness and personality are experiencing a compression that is billions of times more painful than being cut into pieces.
Apparently Aionar sensed something and immediately curled up like a frightened animal, hiding at Zuo Si's feet for comfort and protection.
Gradually, a huge jet of arcane energy was released from the machine, forming an expanding vortex above.
The timelines that were originally floating in the void immediately converged as if attracted, forming an extremely spectacular scene.
"Hahahaha! Well done! Jinjitasha and Vashtor really didn't let me down. They really made this machine."
Zuo Si laughed loudly and began to devour and absorb the essence of power squeezed out of the Titan Star Soul.
These concentrated essences are completely different from the energies bestowed by the Titans on high-level Guardians.
If the former is compared to the original cola, then the latter is the finished cola that has been diluted with water, sugar and carbon dioxide.
As for the guardian dragon, what he got was something diluted with a large amount of ice.
Under the impact of this powerful force, Zuo Si instantly transformed into a giant dragon. The scales all over his body began to glow with a violet glow symbolizing the arcane, and hourglass-like patterns also grew on the surface of the scales.
The head of the bronze dragon that originally represented the power of time also began to change dramatically, and its two eyes were filled with the same golden electric light as Aman'thul.
Together with the time power he obtained from other time and space, it finally condensed into an oval crystal like a gem, floating between the two huge horns.
When the essence of Aman'thul's star soul was completely drained and stripped away, the crystal suddenly released a dazzling light, and then quickly dimmed.
At the same time, the machine seemed to have completed its mission. It emitted a harsh sound from the inside, and then began to collapse and disintegrate. In the end, only a lonely platinum disk that was spinning at a continuously slowing speed remained in place.
Needless to say, this disc stores Aman'thul's memories, thoughts and personality.
Through the image reflected on the platinum disc, Zuo Si saw his current image and couldn't help but laugh and said to himself, "My goodness, this head of mine is almost 70% similar to the old dragon Nicol Bolas, except that the shape of the horns and the color of the soul stone in the middle are a bit different."
Obviously, he used this machine to directly merge the Titan soul with himself, and then controlled it through the soul stone suspended in the middle of the horns without any consciousness, thoughts or personality.
Since the star soul that was absorbed was in a blank state, there was no need to worry about resistance or the thoughts in one's mind being leaked.
And as time goes by, a secondary personality will gradually grow inside this soul stone that does not conflict with the main personality.
At that time, the two will cooperate with each other to achieve multitasking, multiple casting and other means.
If the Spark Link talent is added, the enemy will be facing two top-level planeswalkers with quasi-divine powers at the same time.
It can be said that the power increase brought by absorbing the star soul of Aman'thul is a change from quantitative change to qualitative change.
If nothing unexpected happens, Zuo Si feels that he is now capable of gaining the upper hand in a head-on confrontation with Nicol Bolas.
The only problem is that, as the most powerful elder dragon planeswalker alive today, Nicol Bolas possesses an extremely powerful magical power - counterspell, and his brother Ugin seems to have it too.
The outward manifestation of this ability is that no matter what magic, artifacts, technology, or anything else, as long as this guy has seen it or can understand it, he can create targeted counter-spell magic in a very short time.
When this magic takes effect, this power will completely negate the attack through the law of causality.
For example, in the War of the Spark, Nicol Bolas used the "Protection Against Blackblade" to render the powerful artifact, the dragon-slaying sword Blackblade, completely useless.
Therefore, if you want to truly defeat or even kill him, you either have to take advantage of his arrogance and catch him off guard, or use a power that he has never seen and cannot understand.
Zuo Si was not sure whether the means he currently possessed could guarantee 100% victory over or even killing the enemy.
Otherwise, if he fails, the same method will no longer work against Nicol Bolas.
