"Not the spark of the Ancient Planeswalker? What does that mean? Isn't the function of the Elder Spell to restore a degraded spark to its original state?"
The Dark Prince Graya subconsciously frowned and asked.
"No, the Elder Spell is more than just restoring the ancient planeswalker's spark. Or do you understand what the essence of the spark is?"
Teferi turned his head and glanced at the young man beside him, his eyes revealing a trace of panic and fear that could not be suppressed or concealed.
As someone who used time magic to travel to the past and future when Dominaria was affected by a huge time rift, he obviously knew many secrets that even the legendary planeswalker Urza did not know. He even witnessed the spectacular scene of the destruction of the world when the elder dragons fought at their most intense.
They have a deep understanding of how terrible forbidden knowledge and spells these direct descendants of the Primordial Dragon have researched and created during that unknown period of time.
It can even be said that the super magic civilization created by the Numenna wizards later, and the artificial god Karona, the Mother of Magic, who did not realize how powerful she was until her death, all originated from the legacy of the primordial dragons.
The Thran Empire, which later indirectly created Yawgmoth and Old Phyrexia, was merely a secondary civilization that developed bit by bit on this basis.
Therefore, the Elder Dragon is the source of the entire Dominarian civilization and intelligent life.
Demons, angels and other intelligent life and civilizations were born after this.
The Elder Spell is a horrible spell invented by some guys without sparks in order to snatch sparks from their brothers and sisters who have awakened sparks when the elder dragons are in a chicken-eating competition.
In other words, it is the first means by which non-planeswalkers can become planeswalkers.
“The nature of the spark?
I remember my father seemed to have mentioned that every spark is equivalent to a seed of time and space or even the universe born from the dark void.
It's just that they don't have the opportunity to expand slowly over a long period of time like the normal world, until they form the space necessary to maintain themselves.
Instead, he enters the already formed world through various accidental situations and merges with the soul of the planeswalker.
These dormant seeds will only awaken when the potential planeswalker is strongly stimulated by the outside world and develops self-awareness beyond a critical point.
This is why all sparks possess indescribably powerful spatial properties, protecting the planeswalker from the chaotic energies and raw matter of the Dark Eternity.
Because they themselves are equivalent to stable existing space and time.
Stable space and time can resist the erosion of the dark void through spatial barriers.
Before deterioration, the ancient planeswalker could even use the power of the spark to create and destroy a plane out of thin air.
After all, all the rules needed to achieve this are already contained in the sparks."
Without thinking, Graya blurted out everything he knew.
These are the conclusions drawn by the New Phyrexia scientific research department led by Jingitashya through countless experiments and theoretical inferences.
"That's right! Then do you know why the sparks of all the planeswalkers deteriorated after the time rift was repaired?"
Time Master Teferi continued to ask with a serious expression.
Graya pondered for a moment, and quickly responded in an uncertain tone: "Is it because the seed was weakened by an unknown force when it entered the already formed world?"
Teferi nodded slightly: "Yes.
It was the largest rift in the world, located in Dominaria, that changed everything.
In order to block it, we adopted the simplest, most brutal, but also the most effective method.
That is to contribute one's own sparks, and then inject power into them to allow them to grow into worlds with spatial barriers.
In this way, the chaotic energy and primordial matter of the dark void will not continue to spread and affect the existence of the entire multiverse.
But the problem is that the patch formed by so many sparks gathered together has caused the connection between all the remaining sparks and the dark void to no longer be as tight as before.
You can think of it as a membrane formed by numerous sparks gathered on the time rift, which blocks the efficiency of the new generation of planeswalkers in obtaining energy from the Dark Void and other time and space.
This is the truth about the Spark Deterioration incident, and why Nicol Bolas hates me so much."
"What about the Elder Spell? Why does this magic allow Nicol Bolas to regain power and even become more powerful by consuming the sparks of others?"
As he said this, a hint of nervousness and fear flashed in the eyes of the Dark Prince Graya, and his eyes were fixed on the elder dragon who was violently beating the Titan Legion not far away.
In just a few minutes, Aionar, Norgannon, Khaz'goroth and Aggramar were all defeated.
Sargeras lost an arm, and most of Argus's body was torn apart beyond recognition by the terrifying chaotic energy storm.
You must know that these Titans who have been injected with sparkling oil and endowed with divine power and godhood are far more powerful than most gods.
The most powerful ones among them can even pin the embodiment of powerful divine power to the ground and beat them hard.
At least Graya didn't think he could defeat any of them without using the spark properties.
Because he knew that this Titan Legion was the trump card in his father's hand, and its strength was even stronger than those high-level Demon Judges.
But now, they could only barely resist and delay the time in front of the furious Nicol Bolas.
In contrast, Teferi was obviously more concerned about the ever-widening time rift. He took a deep breath and explained, "Because the real horror of the elder spell is the devouring.
Let each spark, which was originally like an independent seed of space and time, be compressed together to form a miniature multiverse.
As a result, the connection with the dark void becomes closer.
It's like the relationship between mass and gravity.
The greater the "mass" of a spark, the stronger the "gravity" it exerts on the dark void.
Otherwise, why do you think Nicol Bolas has the means to directly devour all the energy of a world?
All of this stems from the Elder Mantra.
That's why I say this is a natural disaster, a taboo that cannot be touched.
But it's too late now.
With Nicol Bolas having completed the fusion of tens of thousands of Sparks, he has become utterly invincible, even if all of us were united.
In addition, this time rift will continue to expand until it forms a super black hole that is large enough to swallow the entire multiverse.
This process may not be quick, and may take tens of thousands of years or even longer, but the result is certain.”
"I see."
Graya nodded thoughtfully, then smiled and said, "I suggest you don't need to be so pessimistic. Things are far from being irreversible. Because my father must have anticipated the current situation."
"Your father?"
Time Mage Teferi was slightly stunned.
"Yes. And...he's already here."
As the last word came out of his mouth, a smile suddenly appeared on the Dark Prince's nervous face.
Before Teferi could ask who the father Graya was talking about, Nicol Bolas, who was still killing people in the previous second, collided with a sudden figure, and then crashed to the ground of Ravnica time and space with a bang like a falling meteor.
The terrifying impact force instantly pierced the entire planet.
If it weren't for the reality-distorting force repairing it, we would have been able to see the spectacular star-exploding scene by now.
"Damn it! He's finally here! If he were any later we would all be doomed."
Liliana, who nearly died in the aftermath of the battle, couldn't help but curse under her breath.
After all, she was just a small necromancer, and was obviously unable to cope with this kind of horrific battle where a single strike could easily cause a star to explode.
Apart from the initial rush forward to launch a siege, the rest of the time was basically spent retreating continuously, avoiding the ubiquitous energy shocks and chaos storms.
"Why, are you scared?"
Shane VII appeared behind Liliana at some point, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.
The latter rolled his eyes in annoyance and said, "Shouldn't I be afraid?
This level of battle is obviously beyond my scope of participation.
Besides, I am here to deal a psychological, not a physical, blow to Nicol Bolas."
"Haha, okay, I admit that what you said makes some sense.
But please don't forget that the return is always proportional to the risk.
If you're not willing to take risks, don't expect to gain much from this War of the Spark.
Because those who have not contributed are not eligible to participate in the sharing of spoils after winning. "
After saying this, Shane VII joined the battle without hesitation.
As a planeswalker who has visited dozens of time and space after obtaining the spark, although his strength has not expanded as fast as Zuo Si's, he is weak by no means.
After all, this half-lich was a terrifying legendary necromancer before he obtained the spark, and his starting point was much higher than Zuo Si's.
This means that the initial mass of his snowball is much larger, and he has also accomplished the feat of killing gods in some worlds. He has now been promoted to a quasi-divine power or an ancient evil creature.
Especially when it abandons the disguise of its half-lich body, it transforms directly into a hideous skull as big as a satellite, emitting terrifying death power from its eyes.
Just one strike broke the magical protection on Nicol Bolas' body, causing large areas of muscle and dragon scales to turn a bleak grayish-white color as if they had lost their vitality.
Mail, who was the fastest, took the opportunity to follow up, waving his arm and instantly piercing through the area corroded by the power of death, leaving a blood hole in the opponent's body that exuded a foul smell and decay.
"Ah!!!! You disgusting flies and ants, how dare you harm the great Dragon God! Die!"
The elder dragon roared hysterically and wildly, while the powerful spark in his chest flickered violently.
In an instant, Shane VII, who was actively attacking, suddenly felt an indescribable shudder and immediately activated the teleportation magic to leave this dangerous area.
Not only him, but also little Annie and several other descendants of Zuo Si did the same thing.
As quasi-divine powers, they basically have the ability to foresee danger and even the future.
As long as there is no interference or shielding, we can often detect the arrival of danger earlier.
Unfortunately, Sean VII's action was still a little late.
Just as most of his body passed through the portal, the surrounding space suddenly solidified, and then a beam of light passed through the barrier of time and space and reached the dark void.
The half skull, which was as big as a satellite, decomposed into tiny dust-like particles at a speed visible to the naked eye, and was eventually sucked into the depths of the space-time rift and disappeared without a trace.
What's even more terrifying is that the insane Nicol Bolas rushed up right after him, exuding an unparalleled aura of destruction.
"Sos! Help me!"
Shane VII had no time to think about it, let alone care about his face, and he just opened his mouth and asked for help.
He had a hunch that if he was caught by the other party, he might not have the chance to return to the life box and revive at all.
"Don't panic, my friend. He won't stand a chance of killing you."
With the blessing of super speed, Zuo Si crossed the distance in space at a speed beyond what most people could understand, and exerted the power of the evil heart to the extreme. At the same time, the divine sword in his hand was covered with a layer of black and red light.
It is the ultimate embodiment of evil that transcends everything, and it is the sum of the influence of all evil thoughts and behaviors of intelligent creatures in the endless time and space of the entire multiverse.
Although Nicol Bolas's mind had lost its rationality under the influence of the dagger that penetrated his brain, he had not lost his instinct to perceive danger.
So he reacted immediately, leaving behind Shane VII and directly activated the counter-spell to prevent the sharp sword emitting a terrifying aura from approaching him.
However, he obviously didn't know much about this artifact, so the counter-spell didn't completely serve as an absolute defense. Instead, it completely shattered after resisting the huge impact force, and the tip of the sword pierced directly to the location of the spark.
"It's you?!"
After seeing clearly who attacked him, the elder dragon immediately showed an expression of extreme shock and anger. At the same time, he activated the planeswalker card and added several top-notch magical defenses.
"Haha, yes, it's me. Sorry, these ordinary magical protections don't work on me."
Zuo Si also activated several magic-dispelling cards at almost the same time.
The spells of both sides are instantly canceled out and neutralized after the collision.
In the end, the sharp sword in his hand pierced straight into the opponent's chest, leaving a huge wound more than one meter deep.
The hot, bright-colored dragon blood sprayed everywhere like a spring.
But before Zuo Si could expand the wound, Nicol Bolas came to his senses and used the power of his own spark to form a shock wave centered on himself.
Boom!!!! Zuo Si was hit by a huge force and flew backwards for hundreds of meters before he could barely keep his balance.
However, he did not care about this failure, but activated another planeswalker card while flying backwards.
In the blink of an eye, several huge toads emitting magical powers appeared out of thin air beside the old dragon and made a rather strange noise.
"Goo-goo-goo—"
Huh? A bunch of big toads?
Nicol Bolas had no idea what this confusing operation was intended to achieve.
After all, a giant toad is a creature that can at best swallow a living person or something, and it is not considered a particularly dangerous thing in any world.
But just a second later, he paid a heavy price for his underestimation of the enemy and carelessness.
Because after a brief chirping, all these toads simultaneously caused a horrible explosion.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The terrifying corrosive venom that was enough to kill the god's body instantly triggered a power-amplifying effect under the catalysis of Talona's unique divine power.
When the splattering venom dissipated, one could clearly see that Nicol Bolas' body had been extensively corroded, with even some parts revealing the horrifying sight of white bones.
Since the enemies encountered before were not strong enough, it was always kept in the bottom of the box and never used.
I got pretty good results using it for the first time today.
You have to know that Nicol Bolas released spark power at the moment of the explosion, forming an ability similar to space partition.
But the result is still what it is today. One can imagine how tragic it would be if he was continuously attacked by the barking toad venom without any protection.
"So you are the mastermind and the culprit behind all this? You have been plotting against me from the very beginning?"
Nicol Bolas asked angrily as he cleaned the remaining venom from his body.
"That's right! Even this Spark War was started by me.
Because I had my eye on the Elder Spell from the beginning, and the perfect spark I could get from using it.
Now hand over your spark, and I will spare your life for your important contribution."
While speaking, Zuo Si raised his hand and combined the half of the elder's spell he knew to lock the sublimated perfect spark in the other person's body. At the same time, he tore off the last disguise and fully released his own spark characteristics.
moment!
The violent resonance began to affect the stability of Nicol Bolas's spark, making it impossible for him to draw infinite energy from the dark void as he did before.
Not only that!
There were also vague signs of losing control and leaving the body.
It was obvious that the first half of the elder's spell greatly enhanced the characteristics of his spark, as if it was tailor-made for him.
"You're dreaming! No one can take my spark away!"
Nicol Bolas, who always robbed others, would never tolerate that the fruits of victory he had worked so hard to obtain were taken away by another person. He became extremely violent.
He even released one of the most powerful enemies he had ever encountered directly from the cold and dark abyss without hesitation.
Boom!!! In just a moment, a huge, indescribable tentacle appeared out of thin air within everyone's sight.
Its power is so amazing that it is as terrifying as three Eldrazi titans, and it is completely unaffected by the power of the Dark Void.
"This is...Marireki?!"
Zuo Si instantly recognized this unknown creature that was obviously larger than the Eldrazi Titan.
There is no other reason, it's just that this guy is too recognizable.
After all, there aren't many things that can be compared with the Eldrazi Titan in terms of size and strength, and that large mass of black tentacles is so eye-catching.
"Hmph! Just wait for your destruction along with this space and time, Soth."
Nicol Bolas let out a harsh sneer, and then began to wantonly release his perfect spark power that surpassed that of the ancient planeswalkers, bombarding all the land cards that were in effect on the planeswalkers who had not yet lost their sparks.
In just a few seconds, the time and space connected by the land cards of Zuo Si, his descendants, and his allies were interrupted.
Most importantly, all spellcasting environments and powers related to these time and space also become invalid.
What's even more terrible is that under the stimulation of this power, Maryleki also awakened from the sealed state, and instantly waved thousands of tentacles to launch an indiscriminate attack on everyone present.
In less than a few seconds, dozens of new generation planeswalkers who came with the Time Mage Teferi were swept up and disappeared without a trace.
Gideon Jura, Nissa Revane, and the others were at a loss when faced with this terrifying creature that was even more powerful than the Eldrazi titan. In less than a few seconds, they were forced to flee in all directions to save their lives.
fortunately!
At the critical moment, the Azeroth Star Soul who arrived with Zuo Si stood up and instantly transformed from a cute little loli into a huge Titan and fought with him.
The scene of the battle between the two sides is so shocking that it seems like something out of a myth.
"Well, do you feel hopeless and helpless now? Facing the absolute power of this perfect spark, all your schemes and tricks are as ridiculous as a clown."
Nicol Bolas taunted with a bloodthirsty grin.
In his opinion, as long as all the land cards were bombed cleanly and the opponent's connection with other time and space was cut off, Zuo Si's power would inevitably drop significantly, and he would not be able to be his opponent now.
After all, there is a qualitative difference in the sparks between the two.
But Zuo Si responded with a smile and said calmly: "I'm sorry, I may disappoint you. You don't think I'm not prepared for this situation, do you?"
Before he finished speaking!
The branches of the cave tree extended directly from the time crack, and restored all the land card environments that had just been lost through another kind of physical connection.
At the same time, Zuo Si also revealed another trump card and called out in a low voice: "Nashiri, come out, I need your help now."
"Oh? You finally remembered me? I thought you had forgotten me."
The Lithomancer appeared out of nowhere and immediately activated the land bombing mode, blowing up the space-time connected to Nicol Bolas and releasing densely packed lithograph creations that stretched as far as the eye could see.
"Don't be angry. You have to understand that the last you appear, the more important you are. Well, let's talk about other things later. Let's end this according to the established plan."
Zuo Si slowly took off the gloves he was using to cover himself, revealing the claw that exuded the aura of the Primordial Dragon.
"As you wish!"
Nahiri obviously knew that now was not the time to lose her temper, so she expanded the properties of her own spark to the extreme, manipulating all the crystals to form a huge seal to trap Nicol Bolas in the middle, doing her best to suppress the power of that perfect spark.
Zuo Si unceremoniously transformed into a giant dragon and rushed straight in, ignoring all the opponent's attacks and defenses, and waved his dragon claws to stab into the place where the sparks were.
"What's yours is mine! What's mine is still mine! Take it!"
"No! How could you possibly possess such power? That belongs to the Primordial Dragon..."
As the sharp pain in his chest came, Nicol Bolas' face, which was full of anger, arrogance and conceit, finally revealed a look of horror.
Although he had seen the scales of the Primordial Dragon on the New Phyrexian Judge before, he never expected that the other party could actually restore a complete dragon claw.
What made him even more unbelievable was that Zuo Si was actually an elder dragon travel mage from soul to body.
No! Not just an elder dragon, but a form of existence that is superior to the elder dragon and closer to the primordial dragon! "Don't be so surprised! It won't be long before I become a true primordial dragon. And seizing this perfect planeswalker spark is just the first step."
Zuo Si whispered in the other person's ear.
Then the spark connection starts!
His own spark instantly resonated with the other party's spark in an unprecedentedly violent manner.
In just a short moment, the perfect spark continuously transmitted its own power to strengthen it.
When the two forces reach a perfect balance, they finally become entangled to form a continuously circulating steady-state structure.
When he opened his eyes again, Zuo Si simply raised his hand and waved it gently, and the time rift that had spread to dozens of time and space and even the universe disappeared out of thin air.
With another wave, Maryleki's huge body made up of countless black tentacles was torn into pieces on the spot and thrown into the opened dark void tunnel.
"Two perfect sparks at the same time?!"
The Time Mage Teferi was completely stunned, as if he couldn't believe what he saw.
As an ancient planeswalker who had spent a long time with Urza, he boasted that he had seen many planeswalkers with incredible powers and spark characteristics, but this was the first one as outrageous as Zuo Si.
Moreover, he had no idea how the other party had managed to fill in such a huge time rift.
The rest of the new generation of planeswalkers who had originally hoped to regain their own sparks from Nicol Bolas were now in deep despair.
Just when everyone was extremely shocked by the terrifying power displayed by Zuo Si, a vampire in a black dress and long white hair suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He first looked around, and then locked his eyes on Zuo Si and Nico Bolas, who had turned into a corpse.
It took him more than ten seconds to figure out what happened, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly: "It seems that you succeeded, right?
Now please allow me to congratulate you on ascending the High Throne and becoming the god above all other planeswalkers.
I feel extremely honored to be a witness to the whole process.
Because you made me understand that fate is not predetermined.
Those ancient, powerful and noble beings may not necessarily perish in the future, but humble mortals like ants may not necessarily be unable to reach the top of the mountain through their own efforts.
Perhaps this is the charm of life’s infinite possibilities! ”
“Thank you! This is exactly what I wanted.
I know that many of you have questions in your mind that you want to get answers from me.
But unfortunately, I don't have time to answer.
Because I have something very important to do.”
After saying this, Zuo Si ignored everyone, including his offspring and allies, and directly activated two perfect planeswalker sparks to instantly teleport to the meditation realm.
Vashtor and Jinjitasha, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately knelt on one knee and congratulated with an extremely excited tone: "Great Father of New Phyrexia! Supreme Lord of Oil! Congratulations on finally realizing your long-cherished wish!"
"That's enough! I'm not here to listen to your flattery. Tell me, is the work of reversing the meditation state ready to be completed?"
Zuo Si interrupted the two of them without any hesitation.
"Of course! We have completed all the preparations. You can start absorbing and integrating the power here at any time."
Jinji Tasha gave an affirmative answer without hesitation.
This is one of the reasons why they did not participate in the final battle.
"Very good! Let's get started!"
Zuo Si tore Nicol Bolas's body and soul into pieces and threw them into the lake in the meditation realm, leaving him to accompany his good brother.
After doing all this, he dived into the deepest part of the lake.
Vashtor and Jinjitasha looked at each other, and then with fanaticism, they activated the huge magic circle that was engraved in every corner of the entire space and time.
Along with the energy fluctuations that swept across the entire space and time, the originally peaceful meditation state instantly boiled over.
The terrifying mental and soul energy gathered towards the depths of the lake at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Accompanied by an intense pain that could not be described in words, Zuo Si felt that his huge dragon body began to decompose, leaving only the purest soul and two perfect sparks that existed at the same time as the soul.
But when the body completely disappeared, an even larger shadow appeared out of thin air, outlining a shadow of a giant dragon's body that was many times more exaggerated than the previous one on the boiling lake.
First the bones, then the internal organs, muscles and blood vessels, and finally the scales that sparkle with colorful light.
Since he had completely lost his sense of time, he had no idea how long the process lasted.
Maybe a few minutes...
Maybe a few hours...
Maybe it's days, decades or even thousands of years...
When this huge body completely solidified into substance, Zuo Si opened his eyes and found that the meditation realm around him had completely disappeared, replaced by endless dark void.
He just stood there in the dark void, not affected at all, and could clearly feel what was happening in every corner of the multiverse.
It was as if he was part of the dark void and also the embodiment of the rules of the entire multiverse.
With just a thought, Zuo Si could create a single universe out of thin air and make it operate according to his will.
Similarly, with just a thought, he could destroy any universe or even make it disappear out of thin air.
Obviously, this is the power possessed by the Primordial Dragon, the starting point and end of everything.
When Zuo Si began to flap his wings, he was like an island moving in the dark void.
When those extremely terrifying void creatures discovered him passing by, they either trembled in fear or fled in panic as if they had encountered their natural enemy.
“Hahahaha! So this is the Primordial Dragon! A conceptual incarnation that should have disappeared with the birth of the multiverse and would only reappear when it was restarted.
It has no so-called self-awareness at all, and cannot be considered a living being.
And I have successfully usurped all of this! Now, the survival of countless time and space, civilizations, and lives depends on my thoughts.
I am the entire multiverse!"
Zuo Si laughed and made the announcement in a way that was beyond the comprehension of all technology and magic.
And this announcement echoed in the ears of all planeswalkers like the chimes of midnight.
…
"The master of the multiverse?"
Princess Anne, who was sitting on the throne of the West Coast Empire and ruling the most powerful country on the continent of Faerun, suddenly looked up at the sky with an expression of great surprise on her face.
From her mature and beautiful appearance, it is not difficult to tell that it has been a long time since the end of the War of Sparks, so she has to step forward and rule the empire as an heir.
Also hearing this voice were the Dark Prince Greya and other descendants in the faraway Kingdom of Cormyr, as well as the Judges of the ninth layer of Baator and the plane of Mirrodin.
Although many things happened during the time when Zuo Si was silent and disappeared, none of them caused any big waves.
After all, the foundation he left behind is solid enough, and he is just silent, not dead.
But now, with this announcement, everyone realized what had happened to Zuo Si, and they all bowed their heads to pay tribute to this supreme ruler, even the ancient mages were no exception.
