"For justice! For freedom! For everlasting peace! This time we must eliminate all threats once and for all!"

"Brothers and sisters, don't be afraid! Come with me! We must kill the Boros Legion that dares to attack us today no matter what!"

"That's right! Use their blood and heads to prove our bravery! Long live the tribe!"

…

Accompanied by shouts of killing, the Boros Legion, which possesses the largest number of organized military forces on the Ravnica plane, and the Gruul tribe, who extremely hate cities and prefer to return to nature, primitiveness and wildness, engaged in a brutal fight on an open grassland.

The former is a military organization with a religious fanaticism. Not only does it act in an extremely extreme style, but it also likes to use violence to achieve what they believe is justice and peace.

The latter are similar to the orcs or barbarians in many times and spaces who make a living by looting, fishing, hunting and nomadism. They are rich in outstanding warriors and hunters, and they are equally fearless in fighting.

Moreover, due to the conflict of ideas, they had long become mortal enemies.

To be precise, one of the main enemies that the Boros Legion guards against is the migrating and pillaging Gruul tribe.

Members of the two guilds have had countless cordial and friendly physical exchanges over thousands of years, and their hands are stained with each other's blood.

In addition, they are not a calm and rational organization, but the type that will rush into action at the slightest provocation, so it is not surprising that the current situation has occurred.

After all, even without instigation from the enemy, the Boros Legion and the Gruul Tribe would fight each other every now and then, not to mention that there are people secretly creating chaos now.

Before long, the entire wilderness was dyed dark red by blood and corpses.

Of course, this is not the only large-scale war and killing on the plane of Ravnica. There are many similar situations in other places, and the trend is getting worse.

Especially after the news that Niv-Mizzet was assassinated and seriously injured began to spread widely, those who were originally intimidated by the name of "Flame Spirit" and dared not act rashly also joined this unprecedented carnival party.

Some guilds completed more than double-digit changes of guild leaders in less than a few hours.

At the fastest frequency, seven or eight were replaced in an hour. Almost as soon as one was put up, it was immediately killed, and the cycle continued over and over again.

It's clear that Nicol Bolas's alien planeswalker knows exactly how to completely destroy the infrastructure of an organization.

He did not simply kill guild leaders and high-ups. Instead, he constantly deconstructed the entire management system, bringing the originally lofty authority to the ground and stomping on it hard, making everyone lose their sense of awe.

In this way, ambition and desire will prompt the lower-level members to have the illusion that "I can do it too."

It is just like when the central government's control began to decline sharply in the last years of a dynasty, all kinds of separatist forces naturally emerged.

The fall of authority and the loss of awe are often far more terrifying than simply losing a leader and falling into temporary chaos.

Because it is largely bottom-up like revolution, and often causes unimaginable terrorist destructive power.

And this chaos will continue until new authority and order are formed.

"It seems that this guy understands the weaknesses of human nature and civilization very well, doesn't he?"

The Dark Prince Graya stood on the top of a mountain, looking down at the entire battlefield with an undisguised admiration in his tone.

Even though he was an enemy, he couldn't help but applaud the opponent's series of precise and deadly operations.

Whether it was spreading seeds using black market auctions as bait, or launching a sudden raid to wipe out the entire Guild Alliance's top leaders, it was obviously carefully planned.

The most important thing is that before the attack, no one was aware of this huge potential threat.

By the time you find out, it's too late.

Just like the current war between the Gruul Tribe and the Boros Legion, it is impossible to tell how many people are being controlled and how many are out of old grudges.

In such a complicated situation, the only way to prevent the chaos from continuing is to launch a bloody purge on both sides at the same time.

But this is obviously not something that can be done in today's Ravnica.

So Graya didn't waste time intervening in the internal strife of the Ten Alliance, but continued to chase the footsteps of the unknown mage throughout Ravnica, intending to set a trap to capture him.

As for the Guildpact...

Sorry, he doesn't think highly of the insignificant fighting power of this group of misfits.

After all, the only purpose of this dimension is to provide a battlefield for the War of the Spark.

There is no other meaning besides this.

As an evil person, he never cared about the lives of the residents of Ravnica from the beginning.

In other words, all these deaths were "normal losses" incidental to war.

When his father wins the final victory, he will most likely choose to resurrect them all.

Sancho, who was standing next to him, responded with a gloomy face: "Yes, this guy is as cautious as a mouse hiding in a hole. As long as he finds any sign of trouble, he will immediately choose to activate the spark and escape. Otherwise, we should have caught him in the hall of the Simic Union in a few hours."

“Haha, there’s no need to be so anxious, just think of this as a small game before the big show begins.

After all, no matter how well he does his job, his impact on the overall situation will be minimal.

What's more, when the opponent clearly does not want a head-on collision, it is not an easy task to catch a planeswalker who can activate sparks and escape at any time.

You know, we don't have much experience in this area.

On the contrary, Jingitaxa is said to have successfully captured quite a number of planeswalkers and successfully transformed them into part of New Phyrexia.

I borrowed some gadgets from him, hoping they would come in handy at a critical moment.”

After that, a Planeswalker card suddenly appeared in the hand of the Dark Prince Graya, and it was obvious that he was prepared to use it to limit the power of the Spark.

After all, the technology to limit the spark of the planeswalkers was quite mature as early as the old Phyrexia era under the rule of Yawgmoth.

Later, with the continuous in-depth research of Zuo Si, Jinjitaxia, Vashtor and other great men, countless iterations and innovations had been completed.

It is now possible to seal the spark directly in a hyperdimensional space, and then complete the body and even the soul of the planeswalker. After the completion, the connection between the spark and the planeswalker can be reestablished and restored to its original state.

The whole process only takes a short time, and there is no need to worry about the other party escaping.

Of course, considering that the planeswalkers who mainly use green mana will have a certain resistance to Shining Oil, Graya was very cautious and reserved an instant gift package for the opponent that combines negative effects such as immobilization, paralysis, charm, and mind blast.

In short, the biggest problem we are facing right now has never been the battle, but the fact that we can't even see anyone at all, and the other party doesn't give us any chance to meet.

"Forget it. I'm too lazy to play this cat-and-mouse hide-and-seek game with that guy. If you don't have anything else to do, I'll go back first."

Sancho obviously hates the feeling of being led by the nose by his opponents without being able to use his strength.

I also realized that the battles between planeswalkers were very different from any enemies I had encountered before.

The most terrifying thing is this unlimited ability to teleport.

As long as one does not want to die, it will be extremely difficult for others to kill him.

No wonder wars between planeswalkers have been going on since ancient times, but few have actually died.

"Are you sure? You know, this is a very valuable opportunity to gain experience fighting other planeswalkers. If you miss it, you don't know when you will meet them again."

Graya gave a reminder in a kind manner.

"Forget it. Ever since Niv-Mizzet's injuries became more and more serious and he began to fall into a coma intermittently, I have too much to do."

Sancho had obviously made up his mind. He waved his hand without looking back and disappeared into the darkness.

Perhaps it was because he was the descendant of Baal, the god of murder, and he had experienced too much danger and bloody fighting when he was young, so he had no attachment to fighting at all.

If possible, he would prefer the peaceful and stable life he has lived on the plane of Ravnica over the years, rather than thinking about killing others or preventing himself from being killed by others every day.

Looking at Sancho's receding back, Greia couldn't help but sigh: "Alas - what a pity, I thought we were the same kind."

"Same species? Humph! He is not worthy of being your same species.

Because this son of Baal did not see himself as a transcendent being in his heart, but was very attached to his life as a mortal.

The reason he got involved in this matter was just to repay Soth's kindness.

When this war is over, he will choose to leave and travel to a place where no one knows him. "

The voice of Shar, the goddess of night, echoed in the mind of the prince of darkness.

“I think it’s pretty good.

After all, the more people take this path, the more intense the competition will be in the future.

Since Sancho is not my kind, it would be better for me to focus more on my sister.

Oh, she hasn't arrived in Ravnica yet, has she?"

When mentioning little Annie, Graya's tone immediately became serious.

Shar sneered and replied, "No, she has already arrived, and she brought another person with her. She is currently looting some unknown treasure house."

"What?!"

The Dark Prince was stunned for a moment.

Because he knew that his good sister had just wiped out the kingdom of the platinum dragon king White Hamut not long ago. Normally, she should not look down on the "junk" of the Ten Alliance on Ravnica.

He had absolutely no idea what little Annie's motive was.

Could it be that his kleptomania has suddenly awakened? Oh my god!

If this is true, how can I still have the face to mix in the circle of gods, quasi-gods and planeswalkers in the future? Once it is exposed, my father Zuo Si and the entire family will lose face!

It is my duty to defend the family honor!

This was the first thought that subconsciously popped into his mind.

"Where is my sister now?"

The Dark Prince obviously no longer cared about chasing the alien planeswalker who had turned the entire Ravnica upside down, and all his attention was focused on little Annie.

"I'm sorry, I don't know for sure, I just felt the presence of her magic. You should know best that this little girl has a very strong chaotic attribute, so it is basically impossible to lock her position."

Shar explained in a slightly helpless tone.

She now understood why the third generation magic goddess Midnight gave little Annie such a headache.

When this girl wants to hide herself it's almost like water merging into the sea.

Can anyone separate a basin of water from the ocean? The answer is obviously no.

So both Shar and Midnight could only vaguely sense the existence of little Annie, but could not confirm her exact location.

"Damn it! My father won't allow me to easily summon the creatures of New Phyrexia here. This is really troublesome."

Graya held his forehead with his hand and showed a painful expression.

Without a massive number of new Phyrexian probes for a carpet search, it would be a daydream to want to sweep the complex terrain and vast area of ​​the Ravnica plane.

But soon he suddenly remembered that since he wanted to steal something, he should definitely look for places with the most valuable treasures.

So how many places like this are there in the entire Ravnica plane? First of all, the people in the Azorius Senate are neither greedy nor have any collecting habits, so there must not be many valuable things.

Although the Cult of Rakdos was brutal and murderous, they were not interested in money and property, so they were unlikely to become their target.

Although the Gru tribe often plundered, they were too violent and barbaric to trade or use currency. They would just rob whatever they wanted and throw it away when they lost interest. In fact, they had not accumulated any decent treasure.

Guilds like the Boros Legion, Selesnya Conclave, and Simic United were either too indifferent or had spent their money elsewhere, so it was unlikely that they had much wealth.

Only very wealthy guilds like House Dimir and the Izzet League could possibly have something that could interest little Annie.

After realizing this, Graya went to one of the locations to check the situation without hesitation for a second.

But he obviously forgot that his sister was a complete chaos camp.

The biggest characteristic of the Chaos Camp is that they will never act according to the normal way of thinking.

At this moment, little Annie and her good friend Loki were looting the library of the Azorius Senate.

To be more precise, it is to loot the most valuable ancient scrolls in the entire Ravnica time and space.

Some of them should be considered the property of the ancient planeswalker Azor, so you can imagine how valuable they are.

"Hahahaha! Look! There's a scroll here that contains some kind of sacred magic spell."

Loki carefully swept away the dust on the surface of the scroll and laughed happily.

Ever since her nature was completely released, she has been going around making trouble and playing pranks with little Annie, building her own happiness on the suffering of others.

Or, like now, sneak into the treasure house and pack up all the things that interest you, and then leave a small note either mocking the other person's poverty or thanking him for his generous gift.

Then they would secretly hide and watch their owner get furious or heartbroken when they find out.

I have to say, this is really quite bad taste.

"Hey! I told you there's something good here, right?

My father said that Ravnica is a special plane among all the planes.

Almost all planeswalkers will come here after awakening their spark.

So it brings together knowledge, technology, ideas, culture and artistic styles from different times and spaces.

Even though we can't leave and have to stay here now, it doesn't mean we can't continue to have fun.

By the way, there are many case files here.

How about we modify the above result and increase the prisoner's sentence from six months to six hundred years? And this, change the hanging to minced meat.

I believe that both the judge who pronounces the verdict and the ordinary people will be stunned, and the scene will be very interesting."

As she said this, the girl's eyes were shining with excitement and anticipation like a little devil.

Of course, this doesn't mean that she is evil at heart. She just thinks it's fun and has no real malice.

But that's what's most terrifying.

There's nothing creepier than a pure fun person.

Scholars in Faerun often emphasize that people in the chaotic neutral camp are often more dangerous than chaotic evil.

After all, the latter often show obvious malice and motives when they want to do something, so it is easy to arouse other people's vigilance.

But the former has no malicious intent, so it is hard to guard against, and by the time you react, it is too late.

The most typical example is Xigochi, the Eldar God of Laughter in the Warhammer universe.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this guy seems harmless on the surface and even protected a large number of Eldar from escaping the clutches of Slaanesh, but the things he does are not small at all. He is known as one of the four masterminds along with the Lord of Mankind, Tzeentch, and the C'tan Deceiver.

Little Annie is currently showing a tendency to develop in this direction.

Especially after merging with Loki, her intelligence and cognitive level began to grow exponentially, and now she looks like a 16 or 17-year-old girl.

"Aha! That's a great idea! Let me see."

At the mention of pranks, Loki immediately perked up, and hurried over to start pointing fingers at the case files.

After a short while, the case, which had a score of over 50,000, was completely deviated from the original strict trial after the two people's revisions, and turned into a surprise, shock and huge joke.

For example, they sentenced a thief who stole a cow and killed it for meat to work as a cow for the owner, and he had to crawl on all fours like a cow and could not speak but only moo...

If the above clauses were implemented, the Azorius Senate, which has always been known for its seriousness and fairness, would most likely become a huge joke.

But the prerequisite is that these mortals must survive this bloody turmoil.

After all the case files around were tampered with, little Annie sighed with lingering feelings: "It would be great if I could see the verdicts of these cases immediately. However, with the current situation in Ravnica, I'm afraid the courts won't be able to open normally for a long time."

"Yeah, that's a pity indeed."

Loki sat down on the ground, threw the pen in his hand far away, and looked unusually relaxed.

But within a few seconds, he suddenly changed the subject and asked, "How much do you know about the Spark War? What exactly does your father want to achieve?"

"Well - how should I put it, Dad wants to restore his planeswalker spark to the powerful power of the ancient times that can easily create time and space and even the universe. In order to achieve this, he must seize the sparks of many new generation planeswalkers."

Little Annie gave Loki a brief introduction of the situation.

Unlike the Dark Prince Graya who was serious about giving it his all, she obviously treated this war as her own playground.

As for dealing with the enemy, that is just a side job. Having fun is the first priority.

"Creating time, space and even the universe?!"

When Loki heard these words, his pupils suddenly dilated, and a huge wave rose in his heart.

You know, during the time he was having fun with the girl, he had already roughly understood how powerful the planeswalker spark was.

Compared with this kind of power, all the Asgard gods and dimensional demons have to stand aside.

But such a BUG-like power was actually castrated and degraded! He couldn't imagine how terrifying the planeswalkers with complete sparks in ancient times were.

Little Annie shrugged nonchalantly: "I heard about it too.

As for what the real situation is, we will have to wait until Dad wins this war to find out.

You must remember to behave well.

When the time comes, I will ask my father for a spark for you, and you will be able to travel between different time and space and universes like me, without the need for other external objects. "

"Understood! I won't let you down."

As he spoke, a dagger emitting darkness and nothingness appeared out of thin air in Loki's hand. It was the dagger that the Dark Prince Greya had given to Jingitashia.

But somehow, it has now fallen into the hands of the god of mischief.

It can be predicted that Loki will play a very important role in this War of Sparks.

"Let's go. There's nothing interesting here anymore. Let's go somewhere else. We still have some time to do whatever we want before Nicol Bolas arrives."

Little Annie raised her hand to open a random portal that she didn't even know where it led to, and jumped in without any hesitation.

"As you command, my beautiful and intelligent princess."

Loki bent down and bowed in a very exaggerated manner, then followed him in.

After the Azorius Senate, the second victim is about to appear.

The troubled Ravnica is about to face what may be the darkest day since its birth...
