Zuo Si looked into Liliana's eyes that were filled with complex emotions, and directly expressed what she was thinking at the moment.
This is not a spell or ability like reading memory or thoughts, but an unconscious influence and manipulation of a person's spiritual level after understanding human nature.
In other words, as long as he wants, he can guide the other person's thinking at any time.
What's more, Liliana is not the kind of woman who would be blinded by emotions, but an extremely selfish and sophisticated egoist.
In her long life, men are nothing more than playthings or tools to satisfy her desires and achieve some ulterior purposes in her eyes.
She enjoys playing with the emotions and bodies of men who claim to be smart and strong, and at the same time she does not forget to use these men who bow down to her to maximize her benefits.
If the so-called "little fairies" in modern society are parasites that suck blood from the male population, then Liliana is their super-evolved upgraded version.
Perhaps at the moment of being rescued, the woman was indeed very excited and her heart was filled with gratitude.
But when she calms down, her brain will immediately regain rationality and she will think about the pros and cons from her own perspective.
Family, friendship and love are all bullshit.
If her life is threatened, she will betray and sell out without hesitation.
This is Liliana Vess, a smart, wise, cunning, self-centered woman who only wants to believe in herself and is full of unique charm.
With such a person, it is almost impossible to capture him/her with simple emotions and charm.
Quite the opposite!
The best solution is to directly establish a clear interest-binding relationship and demonstrate your own strength to make them feel awe and a strong admiration for the strong.
Because being strong means being reliable and not collapsing easily, and it means being able to provide long-term shelter and support.
This is also why, in many cases, even though money is spent on the same women, women’s reactions to powerful men and powerless men are completely different, and can even be described as a world of difference.
"So whose side are you on?"
Liliana did not choose to deliberately avoid such sensitive questions as usual, but carefully observed the reaction of the young man in front of her who was full of mystery.
As a veteran in the love field who had seduced countless young men, she knew very well that Zuo Si was different from Jace Beleren, who was arrogant, conceited, and aloof but a novice in emotions.
Because Jace Beleren would show obvious nervousness and shyness when being teased or kissed.
Especially when one is clearly extremely eager physically, but constantly tries to suppress this desire with reason.
But when she was kissing and caressing Zuo Si just now, although the other party had a faint smile on his face and seemed to be enjoying it very much, there was no physical reaction at all.
You have to know that Liliana is completely naked at the moment, showing her graceful figure completely. Unless you are a eunuch or have problems with your sexual orientation, you will basically have some instinctive impulses to a certain extent.
Especially those purple magic lines engraved on the skin that appear and disappear from time to time, adding a lot of mystery and interest to it out of thin air.
Coupled with the superb skills she has acquired from seducing men for a century, she is confident that she can make any young man fall at her feet in a very short time.
But now, all the above methods are ineffective in front of Zuo Si.
Especially those deep eyes, which were completely different from when the two met in Innistrad.
At least when they met that time, Liliana could still feel that the gap between herself and the other party was not too big.
But what about now?
Now she couldn't even figure out what the other party wanted, or what their purpose and intention were. Instead, she felt like a chess piece being played in the palm of their hand.
Because Zuo Si controls the demon, which means he controls herself.
Although on the surface the two are allies, in reality it is no different than Nicol Bolas controlling her. In essence, her weaknesses are firmly grasped by the other party, and she has to surrender.
However, Zuo Si's control was slightly more decent than that of the simple and rough Lao Long. He did not choose to tear his face off but instead retained the most basic courtesy.
Zuo Si reached out and gently slid his fingers over Liliana’s cheek, neck, and chest, just like when they first met, and then smiled and replied, “I don’t stand on anyone’s side, but on my own side.
To put it in a more understandable way, the War of the Spark was essentially a battle between me and Nicol Bolas.
Everything you see now is the result of my planning a long time ago.
Whether it's New Phyrexia or the local forces of Ravnica including Niv-Mizzet, they are just pawns in my hands.
Of course, you are also a part of it, and a very important part at that.
I'm really looking forward to seeing the look on that old dragon's face when you backstab him.
Well, after saying so much, shouldn't you fulfill your promise and call me master?"
"Master, your servant Liliana Vess is at your service."
Without any hesitation, Liliana knelt down and performed standard court etiquette. She was not shy or distorted in her movements because of her naked body. Instead, she was as elegant as a noble lady in gorgeous dresses.
This kind of temperament and charm formed after a hundred years of accumulation is simply beyond the reach of those girls who are still immersed in unrealistic fantasies about love.
This scene suddenly reminded Zuo Si of a famous saying someone once said.
Women are like fine wine, they become more fragrant with age.
Although the guy who said this is definitely a pervert, it is undeniable that this point of view does have some merit.
At least it is true as long as the body and appearance can maintain youthful beauty.
But soon, Zuo Si cleared these messy thoughts from his mind and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, it seems that we will get along very happily in the future. As for what you want, I promise to satisfy you."
"It is my pleasure, Master."
Liliana bowed her head deeply, a barely perceptible awe flashing in her eyes.
Because the fact that he can use New Phyrexia and Niv-Mizzet as chess pieces is enough to prove how powerful Zuo Si is now.
Although she didn't understand who would have the last laugh, she was certain that Zuo Si definitely had the capital to compete with Nicol Bolas.
After all, that arrogant old dragon had been caught up in the middle of a fierce battle.
However, Zuo Si, the mastermind behind all this, is still standing here, like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, ready to launch a fatal attack at any time.
"Here, get dressed. How much do you know about Nicol Bolas's trump card?"
Zuo Si directly handed over a set of purple low-cut dress that was barely visible enough to be called a divine weapon, along with gloves, shoes and socks.
Although he didn't mind enjoying the beautiful scenery for a while, it was obvious that business was more important.
"This is?!!"
The moment Liliana took the dress, she felt the indescribable powerful magic in it, especially the huge bonus to necromancy magic, which was even more powerful than the Chain Veil.
Not only that!
This set of equipment can also provide extremely powerful protection, comparable to the protective effect of enchanted heavy armor.
"How about it, do you like it? I said that everything you want can be satisfied with me. But the prerequisite is that your performance must satisfy me."
Zuo Si was obviously very satisfied with the woman's ecstatic reaction.
Because that's the effect he wanted to achieve.
Liliana nodded without hesitation: "Of course I like it! It seems that a lot has happened in the years since we lost contact, and your power has become unprecedentedly strong, enough to compete with Nicol Bolas."
“There’s nothing I can do, I was forced to do this.
After all, the nature of this universe is the survival of the fittest.
If you don't want to be a pawn and don't want to be controlled by others, you can only climb up desperately until you stand at the top and look down on everyone.
Someone once told me that in order to establish order one must first have unrivaled power to overthrow all opposition.
Otherwise, any rules and laws will become meaningless pieces of paper.
So I must first defeat Nicol Bolas, the source of all chaos in the world of planeswalkers, and ascend to the throne, and then I can clear away all the chaos and establish my own order.
Don't you think the planeswalkers who have gained the power of the Spark are too free to do whatever they want? It's time someone stood up and drew a red line, telling them what they can and cannot do. "
Zuo Si pursed his lips slightly and directly showed his huge ambition.
He wanted to be the master of all planeswalkers, even a god! He wanted all planeswalkers to submit to his rule!
When the War of the Spark ends, the Planeswalkers will no longer be a symbol of freedom, but will also be constrained!
"You...you are simply a lunatic!"
Liliana was completely stunned, and spoke out her truest thoughts in a trembling voice.
You know, in her eyes, Nicol Bolas, who started the Spark War, was already quite crazy, but compared with Zuo Si, he is nothing.
After all, this elder dragon planeswalker just wants to restore the spark of the ancient planeswalker, nothing more.
But what about Zuo Si?
Not only to replace the former, but also to surpass the former and become the existence that transcends everything.
"Haha, madman? Maybe. After all, there is often only a fine line between genius and madness. Only when you fail will you be called a madman, and I will not fail."
While saying this, Zuo Si waved to the super dragon-shaped engine standing in the open space.
This huge creature immediately ran over and lay on the ground like a puppy hearing its owner's call, and was as well-behaved as a pet.
The huge contrast made Liliana feel very absurd and unreal.
Zuo Si replied with a half-smile: "I am the father of New Phyrexia who is above all the judges."
"What? This is impossible! You... you haven't been fully transformed by the oil, how could you be the father of New Phyrexia!"
Liliana's eyes widened, and her voice was filled with shock.
"Do you know how Yawgmoth became the father of Old Phyrexia?"
Zuo Si glanced at the other person and asked a rhetorical question.
"Is it because he created the sparkling oil?"
Liliana's tone was filled with strong uncertainty.
Because they don't know much about Old Phyrexia, and will not take the initiative to approach this force called the Scourge.
Zuo Si shook his head slightly: "No, it was not Yawgmoth who created the oil, but another ancient planeswalker.
He simply poured his mind, will and soul into the oil.
Then these things are forcibly injected into the bodies of every new Phyrexian creation.
In other words, if someone can do this, then he can become the second owner of Shuoyou.
As for whether to accept the completion of Shuoyou, it is actually never necessary.
Moreover, the oil has now become a rule and power, and has long been integrated with my body and soul."
As the last word came out of his mouth, a vast amount of sparkling oil instantly gushed out from Zuo Si's body, and swept across every immortal around him at a speed visible to the naked eye, even including the immortal evil god.
Almost at the same time, the immortal system in these undead creatures that resists the oil was activated.
The two immediately began to fight frantically for dominance.
There was even a case where the same immortal began to fight each other, trying to destroy the part of the body controlled by the other.
Obviously, since the Immortal System is designed for the old Shuo Oil, it does not have 100% immunity when facing the new Shuo Oil after the dimensional upgrade.
Especially when Zuo Si, the father of New Phyrexia, used the power of Mirrodin, he actually suppressed the Eternal System on a large scale.
“I see! No wonder you were determined to drive Tezzeret out of Mirrodin. It turns out that New Phyrexia was already under your control at that time.”
Liliana was undoubtedly a smart person. She figured out the whole story in an instant. She also knew that from that moment on, the other party had been planning to completely kill Nicol Bolas and reach the top in this War of the Spark.
Zuo Si smiled and nodded: "Not bad.
In order to avoid the eyes and ears of Nicol Bolas, New Phyrexia has been expanding very cautiously, deliberately avoiding most planes where planeswalkers are present.
Today it has grown into an absolute behemoth.
What you see now is only part of it, not all of it.
Because before I take action myself, I must first understand the full strength and trump cards of this old dragon.
How about it, do you have more confidence in me now?"
Hearing this, Liliana, who had put on her clothes again, smiled and responded without hesitation: "Of course, my dear master.
You are the most skilled at hiding yourself and the most insidious and cunning conspirator I have ever seen in my life.
You have exploited the hubris of not only Nicol Bolas, but of other planeswalkers, including myself, Tezzeret, and Jace Beleren.
But I'm still a little curious, how do you plan to defeat Nicol Bolas? Do you plan to use the elder spell to restore the powerful power of the ancient planeswalker spark like he did?"
Zuo Si asked meaningfully, "Is there any need to ask this?
I thought a beautiful and intelligent woman like you would be able to see it at a glance.
After all, I had countless ways to forcibly avoid the outbreak of this Spark War, but I still let it happen.
I even gave him a strong push from behind."
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to hear you admit it yourself.
So Nicol Bolas was just a scapegoat, someone pushed out to take the blame for starting the War of the Spark?
And you are the hero who defeated him as a last resort and inherited the power of the ancient planeswalker's spark?
I have to say, your methods are much more sophisticated than Nicol Bolas's blatant and undisguised plundering.
You get all the benefits, but none of the consequences.”
Liliana's mouth curled up wildly in a playful smile, and her eyes flashed with intense excitement.
Although she was just a chess piece in today's conspiracy and secrets, she managed to stand on the winning side without any danger.
"Thanks for the compliment. Now tell me what you know. Because my shimmering avatar pretending to be Ugin won't last much longer. After all, Nicol Bolas can be pretty scary when he's at full strength."
Zuo Si was undoubtedly keeping a close eye on the situation on the battlefield, and did not let his guard down because of the distractions of the Demon Judges.
Liliana took a deep breath and said, "You know full well that Nicol Bolas does not trust me, so what I know is not—"
Before she could finish her words, she suddenly saw a familiar figure appear out of nowhere, and her pupils instantly dilated to the extreme.
Before she could even open her mouth, the other party asked with a smile: "Dear Lady Liliana, can I understand that you have betrayed the great Dragon Lord?"
"Watch out! This guy is Nicol Bolas's guy! He's dangerous, and not something that idiot Tezzeret can deal with."
Liliana quickly reminded Zuo Si and prepared for the battle.
She was well aware that Shane VII, who held the scepter, seemed to have one level higher authority than herself in controlling the Legion of Immortals.
"Hahahaha! That's a cute reaction, but totally unnecessary. Because I've always been Soth's person."
The half-lich laughed and walked straight to Zuo Si, revealing his true camp.
This scene stunned Liliana, and she was unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
After about two or three minutes, she finally realized what was going on. She raised her head and asked, "You have more than one spy around Nicol Bolas?"
"Why, is this strange? In order to ensure that the old dragon will act according to the trick I have planned, of course I have to make more preparations. You have to know that I am a person who hates surprises and always likes to plan everything in an orderly manner."
Zuo Si spread his hands as if it was a matter of course.
But compared to his ease and joy, Liliana's heart was in turmoil. Her expression changed repeatedly in a short period of time, and her hands were shaking slightly uncontrollably.
Because this thoughtful woman was not sure whether Shane VII would become her death warrant if she had not made a wise choice just now.
After all, it would be too easy for this guy who hides the deepest to kill me.
Stabbing someone in the back directly or slandering them to Nicol Bolas would have the same effect.
"Relax, ma'am, don't forget that we are family now."
The experienced Shane VII undoubtedly noticed the necromancer's reaction and took the initiative to step forward to show goodwill.
This action immediately made Liliana feel relieved. She sighed and said, "Yes, fortunately we are on the same side. Otherwise, it would be too terrible to be enemies with you and the master. Now I have begun to mourn for Nicol Bolas. I am afraid he will not escape this time."
"Haha, of course. You know, we have been preparing for this day for a very long time."
At this point, Xia En VII suddenly paused, turned around and asked Zuo Si: "Did you get the elder spell?"
"Yes, I got it, but only the first half for now. As for the second half, we will have to wait until this old dragon completes his transformation and takes his spark to find out."
Zuo Si gave a very straightforward answer.
His alliance with King Shayne VII was the longest lasting and the closest.
Especially after the birth of little Annie, a divine offspring with the royal blood of the Shane Dynasty, the two sides basically became a family.
After all, although marriage is an ancient form of alliance, it has always been very useful.
Even in modern society that advocates freedom of love and marriage, wealthy and powerful families will still choose to marry to consolidate their status and wealth.
Shane VII nodded thoughtfully: "This is enough.
When are you going to reveal your cards?
Should we wait a little longer now?
You must know that I now control all the Eternals, and the devil Astartes, the Titan Legion and those fully transformed orcs have invaded and destroyed all the planes controlled by Nicol Bolas, including Amonkhet.
Now the Elder Dragon Planeswalker is all alone, with almost no followers who can come to rescue him."
"Don't be impatient, my friend. I spent so much time and effort setting up this stage. How could it end so quickly? The real good show has just begun. And there is also little Annie's role here. Don't you want to appreciate her growth?"
Zuo Si gave Xia En VII a look that urged him to stay calm.
A showdown now?
What a joke! To fight a dangerous final boss like Nicol Bolas, you have to first make him bleed and mess with his mentality.
Eliminating his power is only the first step.
As the saying goes, to kill someone, you must first destroy his heart.
Zuo Si wanted to break down the opponent's psychological defenses, and he used all sorts of methods to slowly destroy his spirit and will.
