"Is this the Elder Spell?"
Looking at the dozens of sparks floating and flying around, Jinjitasha's face showed surprise and curiosity.
As the top leader of the entire New Phyrexia technology and R&D department, there was actually no need for him to come to Ravnica, an extremely dangerous battlefield, in person.
But due to his strong interest in the elder's spell, he rushed to the scene through the cave tree as soon as possible.
Around him are a group of new Phyrexian creations with consciousness and self-movement, as well as the most advanced detection equipment ever created.
These instruments can even record anything related to magic or technology in an instant, and then conduct a systematic analysis and summarize the relevant theoretical basis.
In other words, no matter how advanced the magic spell is, it cannot keep its secrets in front of these instruments.
But the problem is that these instruments are now emitting shrill noises as if they have failed, and all the components that detect the peak values of energy fluctuations are in an overloaded state.
A similar situation has never happened before.
Zuo Si ignored the instruments and fiddled with the small portion of sparks intercepted from Nicol Bolas, explaining with a smile: "No, this is not the complete elder spell, only a part of it.
It must be said that although Nicol Bolas is extremely arrogant, he is not stupid.
I have reason to suspect that he deliberately leaked this part of the elders' spell to lure people.
And you can turn off those useless instruments.
Because the elder spell is not ordinary magic, but one of the only three forces that can directly affect the dark void so far.
The other two are the Spark trait of Nicol Bolas and the Artifact Omen.
So I speculate that this spell should be one of the research results of the elder dragons in the civil war when they tried to obtain more powerful power from the dark void.
This is obviously not a job that can be done by one or a few people, but requires a fairly large group of people.
Moreover, apart from the Elder Dragons, it is impossible for any other race or civilization to form such a large-scale situation that can directly connect with the Dark Void.
In other words, the civilization history of Dominaria is much longer than people imagine.
The Thran Empire, the ancient super-civilization that indirectly shaped old Phyrexia, was only the most insignificant one among them.
Before this, there was not only a powerful magical civilization created by the Numenar wizards, but there was also a period of rule by the elder dragons.
The duration should be around three to four thousand years.
This period of history is completely blank. Not only is there no written record, but even very few things have been left.
It is highly likely that the weapon masters of the Thran Empire obtained the research results left behind by the elder dragons and created destructive weapons based on this.
This also explains why Nicol Bolas was the only one who knew about the existence of the Elder Spell for such a long time.
Not even his brother Ugin knew about this.
It has to be said that these elder dragon capitals are truly blessed.
If they had not launched that self-destructive civil war, but instead established an empire with centripetal force, blood ties, and cultural identity, I am afraid the entire multiverse would have been shrouded in their shadow.
But unfortunately, the strongest among them, Nicol Bolas, did not possess the most basic political literacy and was completely unable to unite his brothers and sisters. All he thought about was how to avenge the bullying he suffered in his childhood and kill people.
In the end, only a few elder dragons survived the war, and they were hostile to each other. "
Needless to say, through the observation and information collection of the Shining Oil Avatar, Zuo Si has collected enough information from Nicol Bolas's spellcasting process, and has mastered the skills to forcibly strip the planeswalker's spark on a large scale and manipulate it.
This is also why he took the initiative to relax all restrictions and prepared to officially break off relations with the other party and go to war.
Jinji Tasha nodded thoughtfully: "I see. So what are you going to do next? Or how are you going to use these sparks to complete the upgrade and transformation?"
"Haha, after mastering this part of the elder spell, I no longer need to complete the last part myself. Instead, I can wait for the moment when Nicol Bolas completes his dream and forcibly snatch it. Moreover, through the same omen, I have roughly guessed what caused the spark to deteriorate when repairing the time rift, and how to repair it."
Zuo Si pursed his lips and gave a meaningful answer.
Although in the eyes of many people, the second half of the elder's spell, the fusion, is the most important.
Because only by mastering fusion can one transform the thousands of captured sparks of the planeswalkers into one's own.
But for him, the first half is the most important.
By mastering the previous part and combining it with the characteristics of the spark connection, Nicol Bolas can lose control of his own spark and complete the peeling in an instant.
Once the spark is lost, no matter how powerful the old dragon's hidden tricks are, they will be useless.
And Zuo Si was able to figure out the second half of the elder's spell through the sparks he stole.
"So all that's left is war? Well, I think I see what you mean."
There was a glimmer of understanding in Jinjitasha's eyes. He put one hand on his chest and bowed slightly. Then he left with a bunch of self-aware detection instruments.
He obviously had no intention of staying in the extremely dangerous battlefield of Ravnica.
Because he knew that either the great father of New Phyrexia or Nicol Bolas could easily crush the planet beneath their feet.
Not to mention these two, even Zuo Si's descendants, the Titan Legion and the gods of New Phyrexia basically have this ability.
So right now, Ravnica is a huge powder keg.
Although the current scene is already quite terrifying, with almost one-fifth of the entire planet disappearing out of thin air, in fact, neither side has really started fighting yet.
Although Jinjitasha himself possesses divine nature and power, he is not very good at fighting.
In terms of individual strength alone, he couldn't even beat the White Demon Judge Elenon, let alone others.
Fortunately, Zuo Si was not so "luxurious" as to let his chief scientific expert do some fighting. After Jinjitasha's figure disappeared into the portal opened by the cave tree, he stroked his chin and muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "It's time to make Nicol Bolas stronger, otherwise he won't be able to hold out for too long with just an incarnation of oil. But where should we start?"
"Want to fight?"
The Azeroth Star Soul, who maintained her loli appearance, asked with a curious look on her face, blinking her eyes.
Zuo Si smiled and nodded: "Yeah, yes, a fight is about to start. But it's not your turn yet, so just keep eating your snacks."
After saying that, he did not forget to reach out and touch the head of this "little guy".
As a star soul that has not yet fully awakened, Aijiang's current mental level is at best at the level of a four or five-year-old child. Although she is powerful, she does not have much combat experience.
Even if he wants to join the war, he must go with me.
Otherwise, Zuo Si would not be at ease.
"Yeah, okay."
Xinghun pursed his lips to reveal an innocent and cute smile, then continued to lower his head to struggle with the handful of skewers in his hand that exuded an enticing aroma.
I don’t know if it’s because the intelligent life on the planet Azeroth eats more barbecued meat, but unlike little Annie who loves sweets, she is most interested in food rich in meat.
As for things like cakes and desserts, although they are eaten, they do not show any particular liking for them.
Especially the meat sprinkled with spices and grilled over an open fire. Basically, you can eat as much as you can. It is a complete bottomless pit.
Looking at this Star Soul Loli eating with gusto and looking completely happy without any worries, Zuo Si who was only one step away from success couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Because when he was a child, he also had such simple and pure happiness.
But as we grow older and mature mentally, this simple and pure happiness can no longer satisfy our ever-expanding desires.
Having come to this point, he began to understand why races with long lifespans and even immortal gods, demons and devils were often either somewhat psychopathic or obsessed with music, art and the like.
As desires and the threshold for happiness continue to rise, ordinary stimulation can no longer bring spiritual satisfaction.
It's like an addict taking narcotics, starting out with plain leaves but quickly moving on to powder and ice, and finally injecting it directly into the bloodstream until death from an overdose.
The whole process is like riding a roller coaster and diving straight down from the highest point. There is almost no way to reverse it.
By the same token, the longer a long-lived or immortal race exists, the more it needs to seek spiritual comfort.
Demons and devils will become more evil and cruel, celestial beings will become more kind, bright and just, and gods will continue to deepen the philosophical concepts in their teachings.
Zuo Si didn't know if he would become like this one day.
Just when he was slightly distracted, he suddenly felt that the Shuoyou incarnation was severely damaged by some huge force, and even with the power of the Star God, there was no way to repair it in a short time.
There is no doubt that Nicol Bolas finally stopped holding back and fought with 100% of his strength.
boom!!!!!!
Accompanied by a deafening roar and an indescribable horrific impact, the surrounding space was completely shattered, revealing a crack leading to the dark void.
At this moment, there is no longer anything that can be called "matter" around the battlefield.
There is only raw, unprocessed ether, and extremely chaotic and disordered energy and logic.
In the pitch-black void, colorful mana keeps flowing, sometimes forming rivers, sometimes forming huge oceans and whirlpools.
A native creature from the Ravnica plane was accidentally sucked into a rift in the Blind Void. Before he could even scream, his entire body and soul were torn into pieces.
Because one of the characteristics of the Dark Void is to shatter anything that is bound by rules.
This naturally includes the well-known laws of physics, as well as the laws of magic and soul.
Unless protected by the spark of a planeswalker, even a god will be transformed into his original form without any processing the moment he enters the dark void.
"You're pretty good! Even better than the real Ugin. He wouldn't have lasted that long against me."
Nicol Bolas's tone was one of naked admiration.
To be precise, this is his unique attitude towards the strong.
"Thank you for the compliment. I am honored."
The incarnation of Shuoyou ignored his own body that was cracking and constantly losing energy, and bowed gracefully with a smile on his face.
"You don't seem too concerned about your impending death, do you?"
Nicol Bolas's mouth opened into a very ferocious expression.
The oil incarnation replied in a very relaxed tone: "Well, yes, it's just a body without a soul anyway, it's no big deal even if it's thrown away. Besides, if you want to destroy it, you'll have to spend more effort and pay a certain price."
"Hmph! You are such a coward! Is this the extent of your New Phyrexia?"
Nicol Bolas was clearly trying to extract some useful information through provocation.
Through the battle just now, he suddenly realized that he knew too little about New Phyrexia, and he was even a little confused about those strange abilities that distorted the laws of physics.
This was obviously not good news for him who was used to being in control of everything.
"Don't be impatient. The real show has just begun. If I'm not mistaken, it will take you a long time to digest these sparks that were forcibly stripped out, right? Do you think we will give you that much time?"
Shuoyou's incarnation asked back with a half-smile.
"you?"
Nicol Bolas keenly grasped a key word.
“Yes, it is us. It is time to show you the power of New Phyrexia! Come out, my judges.”
As the last word came out of their mouths, all the incarnations suddenly spread their arms and wings and directly pulled the branches of the Cave Tree out of the dark void.
In a flash!
One portal after another opened out of nowhere, and one figure after another walked out from the other end of the portal.
The Angel of Khorne, Zariel! The Succubus Queen, Mecanthut!
Ob Nixilis, the Infernal Dragon!
The White Demon Judge Ellenon!
The Black Judge of Demons Xiored!
The red devil judge Wabash!
Green Demon Judge Flink!
In addition, there are also the new Phyrexian gods who have gained divine power and godhood! Every time one appears, Nicol Bolas's mouth twitches slightly uncontrollably.
He now wanted to strangle Tezzeret to death.
You call this no big deal? You call this temporarily not a real threat to the War of the Spark? What a joke! This has completely surpassed the old Phyrexia under Yawgmoth's leadership! Especially the upgraded shimmering oil, which is enough to make this most powerful planeswalker and elder dragon feel palpitations.
It is also uncertain whether the immortal systems prepared to deal with the original version of the Shuo Oil can withstand this new type of Shuo Oil after the dimensional upgrade.
Each of these demon judges present possesses extremely terrifying power, far superior to the gods of Amonkhet who were made into immortal evil gods.
"How about it, do you like the grand welcome ceremony we prepared for you?"
The Shuoyou incarnation teased in a half-joking tone.
"So you all came out in full force to join this Spark War just to stop my plan?"
Nicol Bolas narrowed his eyes and exuded a terrifying aura.
The incarnation of the oil nodded slightly: "That's right! Because the great New Phyrexia is destined to realize the grand blueprint of unifying all worlds, and if you restore the spark power of the ancient planeswalker, you will undoubtedly become our biggest obstacle. You must either die here today, or embrace the oil and become a part of us."
"Hahahaha! Good! Very good! Threat? It's been how many years since anyone dared to speak to me in such a tone?"
Nicol Bolas laughed in anger, and the Planeswalker Spark on his chest began to flash a dazzlingly bright light, while at the same time began to continuously gather energy from the dark void.
"It seems that you are not going to accept my kindness. In that case, let's speak with strength. Go ahead, kill him without holding back!"
The incarnation of Shuoyou directly gave attack orders to all the summoned Demon Judges present.
"All who dare to stand against the great father of New Phyrexia must die!"
Xiole rushed forward first with a roar, the weapon in her hand glowing with a creepy deep purple light, and it was undoubtedly attached with terrible shadow void energy.
Ever since the Shadow Void in the universe where the planet Azeroth is located was invaded by the Eldrazi Titans, she took the opportunity to lead her army in and not only killed all the Void Lords, but also used their corpses and remains to create a divine artifact.
Although she is not the strongest among all the Demon Judges now, she is definitely among the best.
The second to launch the attack was the extremely warlike Angel of Khorne, Zariel.
As a sword that has been constantly sharpened by Zuo Si, she has already completed more than one leap and transformation, and now she is completely a terrifying killing machine.
The first encounter gave Nicol Bolas a huge surprise.
One of the weapons, which was like a chainsaw, instantly cut a hole in the latter's indestructible dragon scales, which kept spurting blood.
"Ah!!!! Bastard! How dare you hurt the great me?"
Feeling the severe pain from the wound on his wing, Nicol Bolas was shocked and angry, and immediately released all the energy he had stored in one breath, with himself as the center.
A terrifying energy storm that was powerful enough to tear apart the entire space and time suddenly formed.
Xiole dodged just a little bit slower, and one of her limbs was torn to pieces on the spot, dissolving into ether at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Obviously, in the face of the unrivaled power of the Dark Void, even the upgraded Shuo Oil is still not enough.
Because the essence of Shuoyou is still rules.
The power of the dark void is to destroy all rules and return everything to its original state.
"Be careful! Don't get touched by these dark void energy storms!"
Xiole reminded everyone loudly.
With her as a living example, the other Demon Judges became noticeably more cautious.
But there is only one exception, and that is the Angel of Khorne, Zariel.
This complete war-crazy woman completely ignored the all-destructive power of the dark void storm, and rushed in with the help of her own divine power and quasi-divine power. Even though half of her flesh and blood had disappeared, leaving only a sinister skeleton, she still laughed wildly and stabbed the spear in her other hand into Nicol Bolas' neck.
"Hahahahaha! Come on! Let's fight to our heart's content! Let us please each other with our blood and lives!"
"Ah!!!! Get out of my way!"
The old dragon was obviously frightened by this crazy and desperate fighting style, and hurriedly waved his wings and slapped Zariel with a dragon wing, knocking him away. At the same time, he pulled out the spear stuck in his neck, and a trace of fear was revealed in his eyes.
Because the last time a weapon pierced my body was a long, long time ago.
This reminded him of the man who killed him in his mortal form - Tetsuo Mezawa.
"Ah! Is this the taste of blood? I taste panic and fear! So the famous Nicol Bolas can also feel fear?"
Zariel steadied his body and raised his hand to lick the remaining dragon blood on his palm. Instead of showing the slightest pain, he was full of excitement and anticipation.
Because it had been a long time since she encountered a powerful opponent who could really make her give her all and feel the breath of death.
Just as Nicol Bolas was about to retort in anger, the infernal dragon Ob Nixilis suddenly swooped down from the blind spot above his head and opened his mouth to spew out hellfire with an evil and filthy smell.
In a flash!
The body of the elder dragon mage was swallowed up on the spot. The terrifying high temperature and the energy contained in it were so intense that even the dark void could not decompose it in a short period of time.
Even if a god came, he would be seriously injured by this blow.
But Nicol Bolas's power was clearly far greater than that of most gods. The red flames that shot up into the sky suddenly began to shrink after less than two or three seconds, and were finally held tightly in his dragon claws, forming a small fireball.
"You deserve to die! You all deserve to die! I will tear you all to pieces one by one!"
"Humph! That depends on whether you can do it!"
Xiole sneered as she absorbed the sparkling oil flowing from the cave tree. After a while, her injuries were healed.
The same is true for the Angel of Khorne, Zariel.
As the judges of New Phyrexia, as long as they are not completely destroyed immediately without leaving any trace, they can quickly recover or even be reborn by absorbing the energy and substances in the oil.
This is why Zariel didn't care about being injured at all, and he was willing to thrust his spear into the opponent's body even at the risk of being devoured by the power of the dark void.
As for Zuo Si's Shining Oil incarnation, it was now being repaired by the Shining Oil from the Mirrodin time and space, and the huge wound on its body had now become much smaller.
Needless to say, before his original body decides to appear on the scene, he will use the power of New Phyrexia to do his best to squeeze out all the cards in Nicol Bolas's hand.
In other words, this is a pair-type consumption.
All the Demon Judges, including Zariel and Mecanthust, were prepared to be killed at any time from the moment they were summoned.
"You forced me to do this!"
Nicol Bolas was obviously furious. He immediately controlled the planeswalker sparks that were spinning around him, suddenly opened his bloody mouth and began to devour them frantically.
With each one it devours, those eyes become more ferocious, violent, and insane.
The enormous energy even triggered a devastating tsunami in the dark void.
"This is……"
The incarnation of Shuoyou obviously smelled something unusual.
He was 100% sure that the old dragon was not repairing and sublimating his own spark, but was merely borrowing the energy of thousands of sparks to make his connection with the dark void closer.
If we continue like this, we might be swallowed up or even assimilated by the dark void.
But at the same time, the opponent will also gain more powerful power from the dark void.
