How terrifying is Nicol Bolas when he gets serious? Zuo Si never had a clear idea of this before, and could only judge based on his past battle records and some battle memories extracted from Wu Jin's soul.
Especially the battle that broke out in the time and space of Tarkir, which can definitely be regarded as the most intuitive display of the strength of this elder dragon mage.
The battle between the two brothers almost tore the sky and the earth apart, causing devastating effects on the ecological environment of the entire world.
If it weren't for Ugin's absolute control over Tarkir, that plane would have been completely destroyed by this earth-shaking battle.
But Zuo Si knew very well that this was not all of Nicol Bolas's power.
Although the spirit dragon Ugin is an absolutely powerful ancient planeswalker in the eyes of outsiders, he is also the absolute main force in sealing the three Eldrazi titans.
Without him, Nahiri would have had no idea how to use the draconic runes to shape rocks into powerful sealing powers.
But even so, in Nicol Bolas's eyes, Ugin was just an opponent who could make him feel slightly satisfied.
Yes, this is what he said about his brother.
In fact, despite Ugin's various sinister plans and tricks in secret, he never posed the slightest threat to Nicol Bolas in head-on combat and was pinned to the ground and beaten the entire time.
He didn't even dare to face Nicol Bolas directly. Instead, he secretly instigated those young and talented planeswalkers to become his enemy, while he hid behind the scenes to observe the situation before deciding whether to take action to steal the home.
Therefore, Ugin was never worthy of Nicol Bolas's full attention, let alone taken seriously.
His fear of this brother stems more from the large amount of secret information the latter possesses and his understanding of himself.
As we all know, when a person knows another person well enough, he or she will naturally grasp his or her weaknesses.
The birth of the artifact, Eternal Holy Sun, is the best proof of this.
Nicol Bolas simply could not imagine what the scene would be like if he had not received the news in advance, but rashly broke into a certain time and space and was locked by the Immortal Sun and could never leave.
It's just like a prisoner being locked up in a dark prison.
So as soon as he saw the opportunity, he broke into Tarkir and killed Ugin, trying to eliminate this threat once and for all.
As for Wu Jin's strength...
Sorry, he never took it seriously.
This means that, aside from those ancient battles that have long been unverified, such as the first recorded duel between planeswalkers, in which Nicol Bolas defeated and devoured his opponent to create the first time rift, no one knows what will happen when he goes all out.
But now, Zuo Si finally witnessed the power of this undisputed strongest planeswalker today.
To be precise, it is his deep understanding of the spark, the "magic thing" that makes the planeswalkers a group.
When all the sparks poured into his body, Nicol Bolas completely became a part of the Dark Void, or in other words, he was the extension of the Dark Void in the multiverse.
That terrifying force crushed the Green Demon Judge Flink into pieces with just one strike.
You should know that Flink is the largest, most resilient and most defensive demon judge in all of New Phyrexia.
Especially after taking a large amount of the nectar produced by the Cave Tree, he could almost withstand the impact of the powerful divine power and rush forward to launch a violent attack.
But now, his body was easily torn apart by an invisible slash from the dark void.
Not only did the body explode from the inside, but the limbs and head were also shattered into pieces no larger than ten centimeters.
Moreover, the violent energy that permeates the surroundings is still constantly disintegrating these "residues". Under normal circumstances, it is estimated that it will not take long before they will completely disappear from this world.
fortunately!
The Cave Tree, which had already spread countless branches in the dark void, captured it in time, and then pulled it directly back to the Mirrodin time and space, and reshaped it in the core area near the interior.
When Flinkai regained consciousness again, he was shocked to see the red demon judge Wabasi beside him.
Out of his subconscious first reaction, he immediately couldn't help but ask: "You were defeated too?"
You have to know that after obtaining the godhood and power, Wabash has the fastest speed and reaction ability among all the gods of New Phyrexia, second only to Maier.
Normally, even if you can't beat a guy like this, you can still dodge his attacks and delay time.
But it seemed that the opponent was killed almost at the same time as himself.
"Yes! Nicol Bolas is unlike any foe we have ever faced.
Especially after swallowing those sparks, he completely transcended all constraints of time and space.
It's like an omnipotent destroyer.
No wonder the great father of New Phyrexia is so cautious. Any carelessness could lead to a complete loss.
At the moment you were torn apart, I was also captured by the chaotic power from the dark void. There was not even a moment of reaction time during the whole process."
As he said this, a look of lingering fear appeared on Wabash's face.
Due to the addition of special active metals, these high-level demon judges can now make very complex facial movements to express their inner feelings like most humanoid creatures.
In addition, the souls that had disappeared before have been replenished, so they are no longer as lacking in the most basic desires as before.
Even complex emotions including joy, anger, sorrow and happiness gradually emerged.
At this moment, Wabasi clearly revealed a trace of fear of death.
Although he knew that he would not really die, even if it was completely destroyed, the core power in the Mirrodin time and space could be resurrected with the backup.
In other words, after the dimensional upgrade, all high-level demon judges are actually immortal, and there is no substantial difference between them and those genuine gods.
However, this kind of resurrection requires the consent of Zuo Si, the holder of the power, to take effect.
As the first judge to defect to the Father of New Phyrexia, Wabash certainly did not worry that he would be deprived of the power of rebirth. He merely began to develop an instinctive resistance to death that all life would have.
And Nicol Bolas is just a little too scary.
"Damn it! We have to think of a way. Otherwise, if we continue like this, it will be meaningless even if we die a hundred times."
Flink shook his huge head in annoyance.
After all, his fighting style is to rely on his size, strength, overwhelming vitality and defense to consume the enemy.
But the enemy he faced now was able to ignore all this and kill him instantly.
How can we continue to fight like this?
"Haha, I can offer a little advice on this point."
Vashtor suddenly appeared out of nowhere, holding two scales bound by super-dimensional space in his hands.
"Oh? What's the suggestion?"
Wabash probed with an uncertain tone.
Although he was also a high-ranking judge of New Phyrexia, he was still quite wary of Vashtor and Jingitashya.
Because these two lunatics and crazy guys are so dangerous, they often give out some extremely dangerous things to the subordinates to test in actual combat.
The result is often either self-destruction or death together with the enemy.
It would be fine if they were low-level cannon fodders lacking emotions, as they don't understand what life and death really are. They only have absolute loyalty and infinite fanaticism towards the Father of New Phyrexia and the Supreme Judge.
But for the Demon Judges who have extremely high intelligence levels, they have long labeled the two of them as people who should keep their distance.
Especially those things marked as experimental or testing phase, which are no different from death warrants.
Of course, the Archdeacons do not mind contributing some of their low-level cannon fodder to support New Phyrexia's technological advancement.
After all, no matter what, once you have more advanced things, the legion under your command will become stronger.
But the problem is that this time when facing Nicol Bolas directly, cannon fodder will be of no use at all, and he can only bite the bullet and go it himself.
Wabasi was not sure what those scales trapped in the extra-dimensional space were, and what horrible effects they would cause once they were released.
Vashtor obviously sensed the two judges' distrust of him, and he raised his lips slightly as he introduced: "You should know that in order to uncover the secrets of the elder dragons, the great father of New Phyrexia ordered Jinjitasha and I to conduct a series of very secret research, and these scales are one of the final results."
"what is it?"
Flink asked cautiously.
“These are the scales of the Primordial Dragon.
To be precise, it is the scales of the primordial dragon that we restored from the spiritual energy of the meditation state.
According to our inference, as the ancestor of the elder dragon, these scales should be able to suppress the power of the elder dragon from the root.
So as long as you have a copy of the scale, you should be able to have a huge advantage in the fight against Nicol Bolas.
Of course, the above is just theory at present, whether it is useful depends on the actual effect. "
As he spoke, Vashtor handed the scales in his hand to the two of them, his eyes sparkling with excitement and anticipation.
"Are you sure there is no danger in carrying this scale?"
As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years.
Having been cheated so many times, Wabash no longer believed anything that came out of the mouths of these two lunatics.
Vashtor smiled and asked, "Do you have any other choice? Don't forget that the great father of New Phyrexia is still watching your performance.
If you waste so much resources again and make no difference, guess what he'll do? Waste has no place in New Phyrexia."
As the last word came out of their mouths, the faces of Wabasi and Fulinkai changed drastically, and they took the scales of the Primordial Dragon and put them on without hesitation.
Because compared to the unexpected situations that may arise, they are obviously more afraid of being deprived of their status as high-level magic judges.
Watching the two Judges passing through the Cave Tree and arriving at the battlefield again, Vashtor couldn't help but pursed his lips and sighed slightly: "Even the strongest elder dragon is so terrifying. I can't imagine how powerful the Dragon of the Beginning was. If the great father of New Phyrexia becomes the Dragon of the Beginning, then we can achieve another qualitative leap."
"You are right, my dear friend."
Jinji Tasha's voice suddenly echoed above the core of Mirrodin, and then he slowly walked out of the portal connected to the cave tree.
His spirit at the moment was undoubtedly extremely excited. He opened his arms and said in an extremely excited tone: "According to the latest test results, the energy contained in the entire meditation realm is almost close to infinity. Do you know what this means?"
"This means that the size and strength of the Dragon of the Beginning should also be close to infinity. Or it could be that he came from the Dark Void."
Jingitashya nodded slightly: "Yes, this is the truth, and that is why the great father of New Phyrexia said that is the beginning and the end of everything.
Once we crack the mystery, we will be able to get a glimpse into the birth and evolution process of the entire multiverse.
This is the ultimate truth and what we have been pursuing all along.
Can you imagine how excited I am at this moment?"
"Of course I understand, because I am the same as you."
Vashtor turned around and looked at his close partner, and then they both started laughing wildly.
…
Meanwhile, far outside the battlefield on the plane of Ravnica.
The necromancer Liliana, who was controlling the Eternal Legion to resist the attack of the New Phyrexian army, was now panting and her whole body was soaked with sweat.
Through the light shining through the dense shade of the trees, one could vaguely see that this woman, who had always been beautiful, elegant and calm, had already become disheveled.
Not only was her long black hair clinging to a lot of leaves, but she was also breathing heavily, with sweat dripping down her forehead and cheeks. Even the neckline of her low-cut dress became seductively translucent due to the constant erosion of sweat.
Because she was really exhausted by these endless enemies.
Especially the all-pervasive attack methods of the New Phyrexian creatures, which made her, a new generation of planeswalkers with relatively old qualifications, experience the horror of the sparkling oil for the first time.
You know, the Eternals are still protected by the system set up by Nicol Bolas, and won't be easily infected and transformed by the Shock Oil.
But as a controller, she had no ability to resist the shimmering oil.
Several times, he was almost invaded by those tiny bionic robots that were almost invisible to the naked eye, and the shiny oil was injected into his body through the skin.
Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—
With heavy gasps and her chest rising and falling, Liliana felt as if her lungs were burning.
She knew very well that if she couldn't find a solution to the crisis as soon as possible, it wouldn't be long before she would be completely finished as her physical strength was exhausted and her concentration decreased.
Just as this woman was controlling an immortal evil god and many immortals to provide her with 360-degree protection, an extremely huge super dragon-shaped engine suddenly rushed out from the dense forest.
This huge machine powered by sparkling oil was so visually impactful that when it appeared, Liliana was stunned for two or three seconds, unable to recover.
But the next second...
The dragon-shaped engine suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a deadly breath.
boom!!!!!!!!
The terrifying high-temperature flames produced by the violent burning of the upgraded oil, which was a mixture of divine power and dimensionality, instantly destroyed all matter including the air within a hundred meters in front.
Through observation, one can clearly see the nuclear fusion reaction and even antimatter explosion produced after atoms are torn apart by huge energy.
What's even more terrifying is the chain reaction that occurs after the divine power is added, which destroys the divine power shields surrounding the immortals in just a moment.
These super undead warriors, who had not suffered much damage in the nuclear explosion, were immediately overwhelmed by the impact that exceeded their own endurance limits, leaving not even ashes.
"No!!!! Eternal Evil God! Protect me!"
Liliana screamed desperately like a madman.
If she could, she would definitely activate the planeswalker spark and run away now.
But the problem is that the Eternal Holy Sun has blocked the entire space, and the sparks are now completely ineffective. He can only watch as the power of destruction gets closer and closer to him...
Although the Eternal Evil God activated the divine shield to block in front, he could still clearly feel the high temperature and heat waves coming towards him.
The aftermath alone caused severe burns and carbonization on the skin and muscles on the body's surface.
As a flesh-and-blood human being, it is simply impossible to survive such an attack.
Realizing that this might be her inevitable death, Liliana closed her eyes and began to review her long life.
She thought of her hometown, her great father who unified the time and space, her dissolute life of seducing men when she was young, and her poor brother who went crazy because of her stupidity.
After being exiled by her father, she embarked on a journey of exploring the mysteries of necromancy, enjoying the pleasure of seducing and toying with others, as well as her own eternal and immortal life like a god.
But all this finally came to an end after the spark degradation incident.
Because she understood death, she feared it more than anyone else, especially watching herself, who was once famous, beautiful and charming, turn into an old woman with wrinkles all over her face and who was having difficulty breathing.
In order to get rid of this pain, she finally chose to sign a contract with Nicol Bolas and four powerful demons from different time and space.
Through this contract, Liliana finally regained the youth and beauty she had always dreamed of.
Not only that!
She was also smart enough to find a loophole in the contract and regain her freedom by killing those demons.
For a long time, she was proud of her own scheming and methods.
But when Nicol Bolas finally showed his fangs, she finally realized that she had not changed at all over the years. She was still the idiot who liked to be smart but was actually stupid.
It turned out that this scheming elder dragon had already planned everything, and his act of killing those demons had been expected by the other party from the very beginning.
The whole thing was like a carefully set trap, and I fell into it again just like when I was young.
If the first time could be excused by being too young and inexperienced, then the second time was like falling in the same place twice.
What's worse is that Liliana thought she could save herself by obeying.
But what she never expected was that this Spark War was a thousand or ten thousand times more dangerous than she expected.
In particular, New Phyrexia's sudden and unexpected entry into the war put the Eternal Legion, which had originally had an overwhelming advantage, in danger.
Now, she is finally going to die, and all her ambitions and desires will disappear with death.
Suddenly!
A hand supported her exposed back and shoulders from behind, and released a powerful healing power, repairing all the injuries on her body in just a few seconds and blocking out the aura of destruction.
What's going on?
What happened? Liliana tried to open her eyes, only to see that she was being held in a pair of strong arms.
Due to the heat wave that just hit, all the clothes on his body have disappeared, only the magic patterns engraved on the surface are still flashing with lavender light.
Especially the strange feeling produced by the contact between her arm and her own skin made her feel as if she had returned to the good old days when she was young and had fun with those handsome men.
Driven by curiosity, she slowly raised her head and looked at the other person's face. Then her eyes widened involuntarily, and her pupils dilated, shrank, and dilated again violently.
"So...Sos? Why are you here!?"
"Of course I came to rescue you.
Have you forgotten that we have an agreement?
And how could I bear to watch such a beautiful and charming lady like you die like this?
You know, heroes always appear at the most critical moment."
Zuo Si had a faint smile on his face and exuded amazing charm.
"You haven't forgotten?"
Liliana's face showed an expression of shock and joy that she could not hide.
But soon she frowned and asked, "Why didn't you heed my hint the last time we met? I thought you were going to abandon me and work with Nicol Bolas."
Zuo Si laughed and shook his head: "Hahahaha! No, of course not.
I just don't want to arouse the suspicion of the old dragon.
After all, for a conspiracy like this, the less known it is, the better.
Most importantly, I have resurrected the demon you killed.
Now you don't have to worry about being punished by that contract.
How about it? Are you happy to hear the news? "
"So you've done everything quietly?"
The double surprise of escaping death and gaining freedom made Liliana tremble with excitement. She even forgot that she was naked without even a piece of cloth to cover her key parts. She put her arms around Zuo Si's neck and kissed his cheek madly.
The posture was as if they were ready to have a fierce wild battle on the spot.
But after three or five seconds, she, who was already a little bit horny, suddenly calmed down, turned her head again and stared at the super dragon engine that was blocked outside the shield and was fighting fiercely with the Eternal God. She licked her lips nervously and asked, "Can you deal with this behemoth?"
"Of course, this kind of thing is a piece of cake for me."
Zuo Si put Liliana down from his arms, raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly.
Snap! After a crisp sound, the super dragon engine that was suppressing the opponent just a second ago stopped all actions, and even ignored the attack of the Eternal God.
“This… What is this?!!”
Liliana seemed to realize something and immediately stopped the Eternal God. She turned around with shock and disbelief in her eyes.
She suddenly realized that she seemed to have never really understood this man.
Especially after the two separated, they had no idea what the other had done over the years and how powerful he had become.
In addition, there are complicated relationships with Nicol Bolas, Ugin, and New Phyrexia.
Which side was Zuo Si on?
This crucial question suddenly came to Liliana's mind...
