Meditation realm, a space and time that is very special even in the multiverse.
Because this is the source of Ugin's power, the place where he was reborn after being killed by Nicol Bolas for the first time, and it is also the meaning of the first "Spirit" in the title "Spirit Dragon".
No one knows how the meditation state came into being.
Even Ugin himself was not sure whether he had created it from the ancient planeswalker's powerful spark when he first tasted the pain and despair of death.
Nicol Bolas also believed that the meditation realm was created by himself and was the source of his power.
But what is certain is that this space-time has a very close connection with the two elder dragon mages, and it can even be said that they are completely bound together.
In this place, Ugin could sense the thoughts and intentions of his good brother Nicol Bolas.
Since he was successfully resurrected with the help of Sarkhan and Sorin Markov, he has spent most of his time in this place, thinking about how to use Nicol Bolas's plan to reversely create a huge trap, and then defeat this ambitious and extremely powerful brother and fulfill his long-cherished dream.
Similarly, he was also quietly seizing and changing this time and space.
The most obvious manifestation is the entire space-time, especially the huge lake that serves as the "Pool of Formation", which has completely bloomed with the unique azure blue of Ugin. The huge horn shaped by Nicol Bolas on the distant horizon is also marked with Ugin's mark.
There is no doubt that Wu Jin is now the absolute master of the Meditation Realm, which is also the reason why he has been hiding in the dark and refusing to show up easily after his resurrection.
Unlike what the outside world imagined, he had been "slacking off", in fact, he had been transforming and seizing the Meditation Realm during this period, and then turning it into an unbreakable cage, preparing to imprison the soul of Nicol Bolas.
Because only here can the latter's two names as the Elder Dragon be taken away, completely depriving him of his innate powerful spellcasting ability.
But what Wu Jin never expected was that before Nicol Bolas's soul arrived, his own soul had arrived here first, and also as a captive and prisoner.
"Quiet, claustrophobic, and almost impossible to tell from the outside. It's a nice place, isn't it?"
Zuo Si bent down and scooped up a pool of azure blue water with his hands, feeling the enormous spiritual energy filled in it, with naked and undisguised sarcasm in his tone.
Because he successfully crushed the other party's plan of stalking the cicada while the oriole was waiting behind.
Now, this prison, which is very suitable for imprisoning the souls of elder dragons, and the spiritual space where Nicol Bolas' thoughts can be glimpsed, has completely become his property.
Using his control over Wu Jin's soul and the additional power brought by stripping the elder dragon of his name, Zuo Si is permanently altering the entire Meditation Realm.
The most obvious feature is that the place where the water and the sky meet in the distance begins to show a creepy blood-red light.
It is a symbol of evil and the color of killing and death.
"Do you think you can seize and control the Meditation Realm forever?"
Wu Jin's spirit sneered and questioned.
"Why, you don't think you still have a chance to turn the tables?"
Zuo Si had a faint smile on his face. He let the lake water drip through his fingers and asked without turning his head.
Obviously, he could not do anything to the elder dragon's soul which was protected by some fundamental rules. He had no way to directly devour the soul or squeeze it into energy like he did with other enemies.
But this is not a big problem.
Because Ugin, like Nicol Bolas after the War of the Spark, had lost both his name and the most important spark of a planeswalker.
The current "Spirit Dragon" can't even cast the slightest spell, let alone rebuild its body and complete its resurrection.
What's more, Zuo Si had no plans to kill Wu Jin completely for the time being.
The reason is very simple.
Even Nicol Bolas had a secret plan to resurrect from the dead, so it's impossible that Ugin, who is even more insidious, cunning, and good at hiding, doesn't have one.
Therefore, before figuring out the secret of the Elder Dragon, Zuo Si, who has always been cautious, would never take any risks.
Wu Jin pretended to be mysterious and responded, "Who can be sure that something like this will never happen?
Remember, Nicol Bolas believed he killed me on Tarkir, too.
But I was successfully resurrected.
Nothing is impossible for an elder dragon like me.
Because our existence itself represents a miracle, and represents the infinite possibilities that the multiverse and the dark void can create."
“Stop bluffing here.
Although I don't know much about elder dragons, I know that after losing your names, you are no different from ordinary dragons.
And I will leave the Immortal God Baal here to watch over you and make sure you can never leave this cage that you built with your own hands.
In addition, there is a dedicated team responsible for researching you until all the secrets hidden in the fog are revealed.
So you think being imprisoned by me is the end of everything?
No! It is just the beginning of a scarier, darker future.
Ah! Look, my men are here. "
As he spoke, Zuo Si turned his gaze towards the huge branch that emerged from the center of the lake.
That is the branch of the Cavern Tree, the core of New Phyrexia.
When the branch had completely grown into a towering tree standing in the lake, Jinji Tasha immediately teleported out of one of the tree holes, rushed forward at the fastest speed, and looked up and down at the soul of the spirit dragon Wu Jin with almost fanatical eyes.
After a full minute, this unscrupulous scientific researcher couldn't help but exclaim, "Incredible! This is simply amazing! I have never seen such an interesting and peculiar soul form. It is like a treasure trove that has never been explored before."
"Your look is very rude."
Wu Jin's soul subconsciously frowned, and his eyes revealed a strong disgust, and he obviously felt offended.
"Excuse me? Hahaha!"
Zuo Si couldn't help but burst into laughter, and said sarcastically while laughing: "Believe me, this is definitely the most polite you have ever seen Jinji Taxia.
Next he will let you understand what true coldness and cruelty are.
Because in his eyes, you are neither the high and mighty elder dragon planeswalker nor the famous spirit dragon Wujin.
It's just a precious sample used for various experiments, nothing more.
Your pride, dignity and personality will then be trampled and ravaged wantonly."
"Are you trying to humiliate me?!"
Wu Jin obviously couldn't stand being slaughtered like a fish on a chopping board, and he couldn't accept himself being reduced to a guinea pig in a laboratory.
Especially Jinjitasha's gaze, it was as if he was looking at a piece of commodity rather than an intelligent life with self-awareness and thinking ability.
“No, Master Ugin.
This is not a humiliation to you, but rather the greatest respect for you.
After all, so said the great Father of New Phyrexia.
The greatest respect you can show your enemy is to take away everything they have and then kill them all.
Only those weaklings who are confirmed to never pose a threat will be spared and become toys to be raised for fun.
There are many such creatures in the entire multiverse, even including those high and mighty gods. "
Jinji Taxia completely ignored the other party's murderous angry eyes and bowed politely.
moment!
Wu Jin's expression turned extremely ugly, and for the first time he showed shock and panic in his eyes.
He finally realized that Zuo Si was different from any enemy he had encountered before, and would never leave himself a chance to turn the tables because of his arrogance like Nicol Bolas did.
"I'm handing you the soul of this elder dragon planeswalker. Remember to keep a close eye on him. If he gets away, I'll tear you into pieces."
Zuo Si obviously didn't care about Wu Jin's reaction. He directly warned the Blue Demon Judge under his command in the harshest tone and attitude.
As the master who personally brought New Phyrexia out of the Mirrodin time and space, he knew very well what kind of trouble Jingitashia and Vashtor could cause if he didn't speak sternly.
These two are real lunatics. Their pursuit of technology, knowledge and taboos is endless, and they don't even care about their own lives.
If there are no restrictions, who knows what they can come up with.
The most important thing is to never let Wu Jin's soul escape.
Because once this guy puts aside their previous grudges and seeks out Nicol Bolas to form a powerful alliance, it will be a lot of fun.
Zuo Si was very sure that Nicol Bolas would definitely find a way to resurrect Ugin.
As for the lost planeswalker spark...
Perhaps it is a big trouble for others, but for Nicol Bolas, it is easier to solve than eating and drinking.
After all, the famous "Elder Curse" can seize the sparks of all the planeswalkers in a certain time and space at once, which is many times more efficient than Zuo Si in seizing sparks.
As a smart person, Jinji Tasha certainly understood what his master wanted to say, and quickly assured him solemnly: "Please rest assured, I have formulated an emergency response plan the moment I received the news, and there will not be any accidents at all."
“I hope so.
Also, how is the investigation into Shandra going?
We don't have much time to figure out whether the force that disrupts the operation of the planeswalker's spark is unique to this plane or the Immortal Sun is at work .
Once Nicol Bolas has recovered from the last great battle, he will immediately start the War of the Spark, and it will be too late to stop it."
Zuo Si directly asked the question that concerned him most.
Obviously, compared to the sudden intention to kill Wu Jin, he was undoubtedly more concerned about the old dragon.
After all, the only person who knows the "Elder Curse" now is Nicol Bolas.
What Zuo Si has to do is not just to defeat him like he defeated Wu Jin, but also to ensure that he can snatch the spell from his hands, or complete the backstab at the last moment when he is about to succeed and grab the fruits of victory.
Otherwise, all the preparations made before will be in vain.
This is also his motivation for postponing the War of the Spark.
“I’m so sorry.
The situation in Shandra space-time is much more complicated than we imagined.
In particular, the excessive amount of red mana fills the entire planet with destructive power.
Coupled with the continuous evolution of the Sliver Demon, many detectors have encountered unexpected problems, so that many areas are still shrouded in fog. "
Jinji Taxia hurriedly told the situation he knew.
Although he had seen countless time and space, there were really few like Sandra.
Not to mention the ever-changing entrance, the entire planet is like a super pressure cooker or a super bomb that is constantly boiling inside.
That terrifying red mana is simply terrifying.
It is not inferior even when compared with worlds like Azeroth and Zendikar, which have super abundant energy.
As for ordinary stars, even if there were one thousand or ten thousand of them added together, it would still be far from enough.
Jinjitaxia even suspected that there existed an extremely powerful but still ignorant planetary will in this space and time.
Otherwise, how can we explain that when a large number of probes were sent out for reconnaissance, the geological activities of the entire planet immediately became intense, even violent?
It's just that he couldn't find relevant evidence for the time being, so he couldn't give a satisfactory answer.
"You have a maximum of 280 hours to take action. If you still don't have accurate information after two weeks, you should know what will happen."
Zuo Si obviously didn't care what happened in the Shandara space and time, but just wanted a result.
After all, the business is so big now. If he needs to do everything himself, what is the point of having so many subordinates and legions?
In particular, New Phyrexia, with Shuyou as its core, was originally designed to deal with various crises and problems independently. The Magic Judges are extremely intelligent and can make the most rational judgments based on the current situation.
What's more, Zuo Si believed that with Jinji Tasha's intelligence level and the huge resources at hand, even if he encountered a problem, he could solve it quickly, just like he could overcome all kinds of strange scientific research problems.
"I have asked Wabasi to go to Shandra. Whatever secrets this space-time hides, they will be revealed to you in a hundred hours at most."
Jinji Tasha's tone was full of strong confidence.
Although the Red Demon Judge Wabash has the lowest presence in New Phyrexia, it does not mean that his strength is weak.
Quite the contrary, since Wabasi was the first person to embrace the new Shuoyou and join Zuo Si, his seniority was the oldest among all the Demon Judges, and he also received the most powerful transformations afterwards.
In terms of personal combat capability, he is not inferior to the black judge, Xiori, who once commanded the army in the universe where the planet Azeroth was located to fight against the Burning Legion.
Especially after unlocking Titan technology, Legion technology, and Necrons technology, the power of the entire New Phyrexia high-level demon judges has increased exponentially. Some have even completely removed their own flesh and blood, or replaced them with superhuman cells cultivated using biotechnology.
Coupled with the authority granted by Shuoyou, each Demon Judge has the power to easily conquer huge galaxies and even the entire universe.
When they take action against an independent time and space, it is like using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito.
"Very good, if you find anything, let me know immediately."
Zuo Si was obviously very satisfied with this arrangement.
Because it would be most appropriate for a Demon Judge to deal with Sandra.
If there is no Eternal Holy Sun in that time and space, then the Demon Judge should be able to find out the truth soon with his power.
But if there is an Immortal Sun, there is a chance that one might encounter Nicol Bolas's men or even Nicol Bolas himself.
By then, the location of the Eternal Holy Sun can be confirmed at the cost of losing a Demon Judge, which will be a big profit no matter how you look at it.
Jinji Taxia nodded quickly: "I understand! Excuse me, do you have any special plans next?"
"The next plan? Of course, we will use Ugin's name to stir up trouble to attract Nicol Bolas' attention. You know, this old dragon is most afraid of his brother and regards him as his only rival."
After saying this, Zuo Si glanced meaningfully at the soul of the spiritual dragon Wu Jin next to him, and then his body began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally transformed into an elder dragon that emitted a blue spiritual energy glow exactly like Wu Jin.
"How...how did you do this?!"
Jinji Tasha was completely stunned by what he saw.
"Simple! I consumed Ugin's body, and took his name with me. Now I am Ugin, the Elder Dragon Planeswalker, and he is but a mortal dragon."
Zuo Si, who maintained the form of a spirit dragon, grinned with a playful smile.
"Humph! Do you think you can become an elder dragon by taking my name?"
There was a strong resentment in Wu Jin's eyes.
He hated himself for not being able to see the other person's true face earlier, otherwise he would have killed him when they first met to eliminate the trouble forever.
Zuo Si responded with a smile: “What does it matter?
Although I am not a true Elder Dragon, it is enough for Nicol Bolas to believe me.
Besides, how long do you think you can keep the Elder Dragon secret? Months? Years?
Nothing can remain a mystery forever, in the face of New Phyrexia's scientific prowess."
“…”
Wu Jin was obviously powerless to do anything about the current situation. He could only stare at the enemy in front of him who looked exactly like him without saying a word.
Zuo Si smiled contemptuously, instantly activated the Planeswalker Spark and disappeared on the spot.
As soon as he left, Jinjitasha impatiently waved his sickle-like fingers and said, "Respected Lord Wu Jin, let's start an interesting experiment now. Let me see what secrets are hidden in the soul of the elder dragon that allow you to make your soul immortal."
"Get out of here! Dirty, lowly, incomplete, broken life!"
Wu Jin obviously would not cooperate with the so-called experiment. He tried desperately to rely on his connection with the meditation state to trigger resonance in the lake water and thus recreate his body.
But unfortunately, after losing his name, the world that was originally under his control no longer had any response, and there was not even a ripple on the surface of the lake.
"I was just informing you, I didn't ask for your opinion."
The next second...
An extremely huge transparent cover covered Wu Jin from head to toe.
Then a fully transformed Vedalken came up to me and asked excitedly, "What gear should I start with? I personally think that since the soul of the elder dragon is immortal, it should be able to withstand soul shocks of more than eight gears."
"What do you want to do? Let me out!"
Wu Jin obviously realized that the situation was not good and began to bang the transparent cover hard, making a banging sound.
"Then let's start with gear eight."
Jinjitaxia agreed to his subordinates' suggestion without hesitation.
Then the instrument connected to the transparent cover quickly went through a series of adjustments, and finally the start button was gently pressed.
In a flash!
Heart-wrenching screams came from inside.
“Ah ...
The black gold soul in the transparent cover was instantly torn apart repeatedly by a huge force and constantly twisted into abstract shapes.
But the interesting thing is that this machine that can tear apart the Titan's star soul cannot cause even the slightest damage to the Elder Dragon's star soul no matter what.
Not to mention being hurt, even a small piece of the soul cannot be torn off.
Such an incredible phenomenon undoubtedly made all the blue factions, including Jinjitasha, extremely excited and excited.
And these were precisely the beginning of Wu Jin's subsequent pain and despair.
Anyone who knew anything about the Central Laboratory knew how miserable it was to be the subject of Jinjitasha's research.
Of course, all this has nothing to do with Zuo Si.
化身成为灵龙的他连一刻钟都没有停留,直接跟随砾岩术士娜希丽率领的大军直接攻入阿芒凯,将尼可·波拉斯的老巢给爆了。
轰!!!!!!!!
伴随着震耳欲聋的巨响,长老龙庞大的身躯直接拔地而起将一座金字塔从内部撑开,无数碎裂的石块就这样被掀上半空,然后又落下来砸死了无数木乃伊和四散奔逃的普通人。
几乎与此同时,娜希丽在洞境树的帮助下源源不断将大军调入这个世界,不分青红皂白的展开屠杀与破坏。
她显然早就调查过阿芒凯时空早就已经沦为了尼可·波拉斯的老巢。
无论是这里的凡人还是神明,都在强大魔法力量的作用下遭到洗脑,将其视作至高的法老神。
所以根本不需要浪费时间去区分谁是平民、谁是无辜者,但凡遇到会动的东西直接杀掉就好,因为这个时空连空气和水都散发着尼可·波拉斯的气息。
“冲啊!给我将这个时空彻底毁灭!”
娜希丽站在一具高达数百米的巨型土元素生命肩膀上,高举着手中用岩石塑造的利剑指挥大军将一座城市彻底夷为平地。
数不清的平民甚至还没反应过来发生了什么,整栋建筑便轰然倒塌将所有人活埋在下边。
不过像这种能痛快死去的其实还算比较幸运。
最惨的是在街道上被追上被追上的倒霉蛋,往往要经历一系列诸如肢体断裂、内脏破损的痛苦才会死去。
因为他们的逃跑和挣扎只会增加自身死亡的痛苦程度,想要成功逃亡基本上是不可能做到的事情。
才短短几分钟的功夫,一座充满埃及风情的城市就这样在沙漠绿洲中彻底消失。
无数信徒的哀嚎与惨叫无疑惊动了这个世界的众神。
很快真信神欧柯塔、心智神刻法涅、狂热神哈佐蕾、荣光神芭图、无畏神罗纳斯便从天而降。
与塞洛斯时空依靠凡人信仰维持存在的神不同,阿芒凯时空的神都是在地脉能量中诞生的,因此根本不会受到信徒的影响,而是更接近于原生神明或星球意志的某种体现。
只不过现在他们都被尼可·波拉斯使用魔法扭曲了,彻底沦为其手下的奴仆。
“大胆的入侵者!是谁给了你勇气胆敢屠戮法老王的子民!毁灭他所创造的城市?”
代表红色法术力的狂热神哈佐蕾性格最为冲动,第一个站出来像砾岩术士发出厉声质问。
“白痴!”
娜希丽显然懒得跟一群被洗脑的神多说废话,挥舞双剑便冲上去率先发动攻击。
对于像她这样的上古旅法师来说,所谓的神不过是一些力量稍微强大一点的土著罢了。
在火花还没有劣化之前,稍微有点实力的旅法师都能轻松杀死绝大多数时空中自称神明的存在。
还有的更是能凭空创造时空,然后塑造一批效忠于自己的神明手下。
所以几乎没有上古旅法师会把神明放在眼里。
狂热神哈佐蕾显然没料到对方居然敢直接对自己发动攻击,一个没留神当场被打的节节败退。
才不到三五秒钟的功夫,她的身体就被砾岩术士释放的岩石魔法所包裹,最终被强行封印在一坨棱形石块中,只有面部被保留在外面。
砰! 伴随着沉重的石块坠落到地上发出巨大声响,狂热神哈佐蕾彻底变成娜希丽手中的俘虏,速度快到另外四位神都没反应过来。
因为一切发生的实在是太快了。
尽管狂热神哈佐蕾在众神中可能是实力偏弱的那种,但也不应该被如此轻易的拿下。
要知道他们也不是没有见过旅法师,之前还跟探索过这个时空的新生代旅法师爆发过战斗成功将其驱逐。
可让他们感到难以置信的是,眼前这位看上去年纪并不大的年轻旅法师居然会有如此强大的实力。
“你究竟是什么人?”
代表象征着智慧的蓝色法术力——心智神刻法涅终于忍不住开口试探道。
作为阿芒凯明面上五个神之一中最聪明、最理性的存在,他很清楚眼前这位年轻的女性绝非等闲之辈,在动手前最好能搞清楚对方的来历。
但还没等娜希丽做出回应,灵龙乌金形态的左思便直接从背后发起偷袭,用锐利的龙爪穿胸而过,当场内爆这位神明的核心,将其从肉体到灵魂彻底吸收干净,直至化作漫天飞舞的尘埃。
“乌金?你怎么会出现在这里!”
娜希丽瞪大眼睛浮现出无比惊讶的神情。
在她的印象中,作为上一次大战主力的灵龙,这会儿应该还身受重伤躲在某个地方修养呢。
左思故作神秘的回答道:“别问那么多,让我们一起先把这几个碍事的家伙清理掉。因为尼可·波拉斯马上就要来了。”
话音未落!
一个充满霸气的声音便回荡在天空之上。
“不!我已经来了!真想不到你居然有勇气主动出现在我的面前,乌金。”
尼可·波拉斯巨大雄伟的身影的从天而降溅起大片金色的沙尘。
尤其是头顶那双外扩的犄角,简直就像是漫威宇宙洛基头上戴着的犄角一样夸张。
不! 应该说更夸张才对。
而漂浮在犄角中间的灵魂石,就是乌金灵魂的一部分,也极有可能是其为了以防万一留下的复活种子。
眼见正主出现,娜希丽立刻撇下另外几个神,全身上下的那根弦瞬间绷紧。
“你觉得我会怕你?”
左思故意模仿乌金的语气发出了嘲讽。
要知道他大老远跑过来究竟是为了搞事情把水搅浑的,所以压根不在乎输赢,大不了打不过就直接跑路。
反正他又不是真正的乌金,根本不必在乎什么脸面。
不得不说,难怪世界上有许多人带上面具、头套,亦或是进入虚拟的网络之后,立刻就会变成另外一副样子。
这种没有任何负担跟顾忌,想做什么就做什么的自由感,实在是令人有一种欲罢不能的兴奋。
“哈哈哈哈!亲爱的兄弟!难道你忘了我可是杀过你整整两次!而且还击败了你和你的盟友一次!”尼可·波拉斯大笑着嘲讽道。
可左思却不以为意的反驳道:“那又能证明什么?现在的我已经不是以前的我了。更何况你现在的状态似乎也不太好呢。”
“那也比你要强得多。我可是听说,你在某个时空使用了反咒,差点就被另外一条上古巨龙给干掉了。”
尼可·波拉斯自顾自把从夏恩七世嘴里听到的假情报说了出来,根本没有意识到这件事情从一开始就是个局。
“可我还活着,而且状况比你要好得多。”
伴随着最后一个字脱口而出,左思猛然间启动旅法师火花的力量把周围所有的物质源源不断转化成能量。
在那骇人的威势下,整个阿芒凯时空的地壳都开始崩解,方圆数百公里范围内的一切正在以肉眼可见的速度消失。
“该死的乌金!给我停下!”
尼可·波拉斯显然不希望自己精心准备的永生者军团遭到破坏,立马出手打断了转化的过程。
他显然非常清楚乌金的能力一旦在这个时空被完全释放意味着怎样严重的后果。
所以决不允许出现哪怕一丁点的意外。
“我可不是你的手下,也没义务听从你的命令。”
左思咧开嘴浮现出十分恶劣的笑容,随后把转化来的能量一股脑转化成威力惊人的魔法丢了出去。
在猛烈的冲击与爆炸中,尼可·波拉斯硬生生被逼退了好几步。
就在他想要继续发起进攻给“乌金”一点颜色瞧瞧的时候,突然发现对方居然直接拉着娜希丽启动旅法师火花消失在原地,果断的没有一丝一毫犹豫。
跑……跑了?!
尼可·波拉斯明显愣住了,甚至不敢相信自己眼睛看到的事实。
要知道他和乌金的两场决斗中,无论陷入劣势还是身受重伤,这个兄弟都从来没有选择过逃跑。
就连依夏兰那场战斗也是在整个时空爆炸后才不得不终止的。
当然,撤离的不光只有左思和娜希丽,就连洞境树与这个世界的连接也在一瞬间被切断。
原因很简单! 左思可不想被老龙顺藤摸瓜找到自己的老巢。
至于那些被留在阿芒凯继续四处搞破坏的军团,从出发的那一刻开始就是已经被抛弃的炮灰。
正当尼可·波拉斯这边完全搞不清楚状况的时候,已经成功进入另外一个时空的娜希丽正目瞪口呆看着从灵龙乌金形态变化回人类模样的左思,用不是很确定的语气问:“你……你究竟是谁?索斯还是乌金?”
“这还用问吗?除了我之外,谁还会对你如此的关心?”
Zuo Si smiled and blinked.
"Oh my god! How did you do that? As far as I know, there is no Transfiguration magic that can disguise yourself as an elder dragon."
Nahiri instantly became interested. She walked closer and touched Zuo Si's face, neck and body with her hands, trying to figure out whether this was reality or some kind of magical fantasy.
"The reason why others cannot transform into the appearance of an elder dragon is mainly because each elder dragon is unique. There is no way to clone them, nor can they give birth to offspring. Even in the multiverse, they are the only ones that exist. If you want to become an elder dragon, you first need to defeat an elder dragon and take his name."
Zuo Si did not hide anything and told the truth openly.
Because in his eyes, from the moment he absorbed the soul energy, the Lithomancer became one of his true friends.
"Take the name? You...you mean...you defeated Ugin and took his name?"
Nahiri was clearly not stupid, and guessed the subtext immediately.
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "That's right. To be exact, I killed Wu Jin and took everything from him. Now his soul has been imprisoned and has become a trophy."
"But...but I don't understand why you would do this? Isn't Ugin an ally in our fight against Nicol Bolas?"
Nahiri was visibly nervous, her words stuttering slightly.
After all, Wu Jin was, to some extent, her guide after she became a planeswalker, and she had always respected this dragon wise man deep in her heart.
"Do you know the relationship between Ugin and Nicol Bolas?"
Zuo Si asked casually.
"Are they all elder dragons?"
Nahiri's eyes widened in confusion.
Zuo Si shook his head: "No, they are not just the elder dragons, they are brothers who have survived together since childhood.
For unknown reasons, there is some connection between the souls of the two.
For example, they share a meditation realm through which they can peek into each other's thoughts.
All Ugin wanted to do all along was to defeat Nicol Bolas and merge his soul with his.
Imagine if their souls were merged, would they be more like Ugin or Nicol Bolas? I promise you, it would be more like the latter.
So don’t think that Wu Jin is some wise man or saint.
He is actually a madman more dangerous than Nicol Bolas.
And I learned from Emrakul that he had signed a contract with the other party in the past, and helped him destroy thousands of worlds as a guide and pioneer.
So don't ever think of Wu Jin as a good person.
He's just using you, me, and Sorin Markov, and whatever forces we have around to fight Nicol Bolas."
"Unbelievable! How is this possible?"
Nahiri felt her worldview and values crumbling.
You know, apart from Sorin Markov, the person she respects most is the spirit dragon Ugin, who is her mentor and helpful friend.
But now, after suddenly learning Wu Jin's true identity, he obviously couldn't accept it.
Zuo Si slowly approached, held up Nahiri's slightly pale face, and asked softly: "Do you think I'm lying to you?"
"No! Of course not! I just can't imagine Ugin being that kind of person."
Nahiri shook her head hastily in denial.
"Then don't doubt it, trust my judgment. Because I am the only one in this world who will treat you well, care about you, love you, and help you get out of trouble and move towards victory."
As he spoke, Zuo Si kissed the Lithomancer on the forehead, then held him in his arms and comforted him gently.
As a planeswalker who absorbed soul energy and was influenced by the will of the Baator hell plane, Nahiri instantly felt a closeness, security, and calmness that could not be described in words, and soon she was completely immersed in it.
After about three to five minutes, she raised her head and cautiously asked, "So you think Ugin and Nicol Bolas are the same kind of people? They are both trying hard to hide their true intentions?"
"That's about right. But Wu Jin's true purpose can only be revealed after my men tear open his soul and dig out more secrets."
Zuo Si gave an ambiguous answer.
Because he now has no idea what is going on in Wu Jin's mind.
"Well, it seems that I was too naive before. Not only was I deceived by Sorin Markov, but I was also taken for a fool by Ugin. They actually don't care about Zendikar's life or death. They just want me, the newcomer, to bear the heaviest responsibility."
As she spoke, an expression of gnashing teeth and anger appeared on Nahiri's face.
She simply couldn't believe that her greatest achievement in life, sealing the Eldrazi Titan, had become a complete joke.
Both Sorin Markov and Ugin were plotting in secret, but I was the only one who was foolish enough to invite three deadly things into my hometown of Zendikar.
If Zuo Si had not taken all three Odrachi away later, God knows what terrible things would happen when the seal was broken.
"That's right! They are all using you. I am the only one who truly cares about you. I am the only one you can rely on."
Zuo Si stroked Nahiri's silver-white hair, and a barely noticeable red light flashed in his eyes.
