Rumble!!!!!!!

Accompanied by a white shock wave generated beyond the speed of sound, the twisted demonic creature with a heavy black unknown substance covering its shoulders and wings like huge bats with a thousand holes rushed to the space only a few dozen meters away from Zuo Si at an incredible speed.

At close range, the terrifying black spikes that extend from his back spine in place of his head can be clearly seen, as well as a large number of red tentacles that catapult from under the heavy armor on both sides of his shoulders.

Nearly every one of them is about the same thickness as its actual arm, with unusually sharp barbs at the ends.

As for the real head, it is completely embedded in the chest where it originally belonged to the heart, wrapped in countless red muscles covering the huge skeleton, and below is the oil engine that constantly emits a deafening roar.

Located on the crotch, legs, and forearms to fingers, it is also covered with black armor of almost the same material as the shoulders.

Just by its massive size and unique appearance, it was not hard to tell that this was no ordinary Neo-Phyrexian cannon fodder, but a boss who had been chosen by the oil to be super-transformed.

To be exact, one of the "Lords of Seven Steel" in New Phyrexia in the black faction of the Manfig Swamp, the famous Demon Lord - Azaks Azog.

The so-called "Lords of Seven Steel" are actually the seven most powerful New Phyrexian creations in the black mana faction.

As Manfi Swamp was the first area of the Mirrodin plane to be infested with oil, it was almost synchronized with the Hollow World Core.

As a result, Norn didn't have time to limit herself, leading to a steady stream of Oil's selection and creation of praetors with independent thinking, awareness, and dominance.

In this savage environment, the Manfig Swamp has spawned a large number of individuals who are qualified to be promoted to the rank of Praetor in a very short period of time.

These individuals began to kill each other again, frantically seizing each other's power and territory, and eventually merged into seven powerful lords.

They are the demon lord Azaks Azog, who belonged to powerful demons before Compleation;

Krenokos, the first Lord of the Deep to be born and in charge of the underground oil pipelines;

Roxys, the corrupt lord who hated all flesh and wanted to exist in a purely mechanical way;

Insane enough to reshape the usurper lord of New Phyrexia by wreath and destruction;

A vampire who was proficient in assassination and ambush of the Blood Lord Ulan;

The necromancer who once dominated the Manfig Swamp, and now the Crypt Lord Gath;

The last is Sheoldred, the most powerful and resourceful female Dark Judge with a well-developed spy network that covers almost all of Mirrodin.

So among the forces of New Phyrexia, the black faction is the most powerful, even more so than the white faction of leader Norn.

But the disadvantage is that no one is convinced, and it is fortunate that they don't fight with each other, and there is no way to unite with the outside world.

"Die! Dare to reject the inferiority of the great and perfect evolution of New Phyrexia! ”

Azaks Azog suddenly raised his arm and a large number of red tentacles, and slammed it into Zuo Si, who was close at hand, at lightning speed.

As the most passionate of the Black faction to fight, kill, conquer and destroy, he believes that with his current speed and the terrifying explosive power of the oil engine, he can take out the fragile human in front of him with a single blow.

The huge head embedded in the chest like a skeleton showed an extremely cold and cruel smile.

But after only a second, the guy realized how serious the consequences of rushing into an unknown traveling mage could be.

I saw that the red tentacle that was waved out suddenly hit a wall that could not be seen by the naked eye at the moment when it was about to hit, and suddenly exploded under the violent reaction force and turned into flesh flying in the sky.

You must know that as a praettor, Azaks Azog's red muscular tentacles made of special materials can easily dismember behemoths tens of meters high, tearing and breaking even the hardest steel plates and steel bars.

Even throwing it into the shredder doesn't have to hurt the slightest.

But now it's firmly blocked by an invisible wall.

What's worse is that he himself crashed into it after 0.01 seconds. The red muscles and ribs on his chest, which were not protected by any metal shell, were shattered in an instant, and the two huge and heavy armor on his shoulders were severely deformed by this violent impact.

The arm that subconsciously stretched out to be a cushion and the tentacles on the other side were also broken and turned into meat puree.

The oil in the body is scattered like raindrops.

But not a single drop could pass through the wall of transparency and affect Zuo Si, who was keeping his focus on casting on the other side.

You don't need to ask to know that this is not a rare spell at all, and it is the [Wall of Force Technique] that the arcane spellcasters of the Faeron Continent like to use to deal with purely physical attacks.

Although it only has five rings, it has many advantages that other spells can't match.

For example, you can bounce back 100% of the force exerted by the opponent.

If it is a close-range slash or puncture, then at best, it will cause numbness in the palm of the hand and a certain amount of damage to the wrist.

But if you hit the wall of force with a high-speed sprint, the result is much more severe.

At the worst, the head will bloom or a few bones will be broken, and at the worst, it will be hit alive and killed.

The result of colliding with supersonic speed like Azaks Azog is naturally a broken bone and tendon all over the body.

If it weren't for the hard metal shell on the surface of the body as a buffer, the internal structure of the body would have been metalized a long time ago, completely dominated by the oil system, and now it would have turned into a puddle of rotten meat.

But even that didn't get much better.

After his wings broke and his oil engine was hit hard, his whole body smashed straight to the ground like a meteorite, making a loud bang.

This sudden change not only stunned Elspeth and the refugees, who were sweating, but also the other black faction praetors who were hiding behind the huge legion.

After all, if they can become a member of the "Seven Steel Lords", the individual strength between them will naturally not be too different.

But what they never expected was that the demon lord Azaks Azog was defeated in a single round of confrontation.

And the body has also been badly damaged, and it looks like it will take a while to be repaired by the oil.

"What kind of spell was that?"

The Crypt Lord Gais, who was hiding in the rear, narrowed his eyes and asked.

As a necromancer, he knew much more about magic than any other praetor and was equally vigilant.

Sheoldred, who had already secretly formed an alliance with him, took two steps forward at this moment with the body of a beautiful mature woman on the upper half and a multi-legged giant insect on the lower half, and replied in a tone of uncertainty that "I don't know either.

But the traveling mage who called himself Soth and built the city of steel to collect refugees seems to have a lot of strange magic in his hands that we have never heard of or seen before.

He used a green magical ray in battle, and any New Phyrexian creations that came into contact would instantly disintegrate into powder.

There is a similar invisible blade capable of slicing through the body of our most powerful creation with ease.

And according to the spies, it seems to hold some kind of power that is immune to the infestation of the oil.

I think it's because there are so many unknowns that Norn is asking us to mobilize our army for a full-scale attack. ”

"Do you believe Norn's words?"

Gath subconsciously frowned, obviously full of distrust of the self-proclaimed leader of New Phyrexia, the Grand Monk above all the praetors.

After all, from the root, they are all creations born from the oil, not the owners of the oil, and there is no so-called distinction between high and low.

Whoever is stronger will be replaced as the de facto leader of New Phyrexia.

Therefore, each praetor secretly has his own ambitions and plans, and gathering together to form the so-called praetor council is only to maintain a kind of unity on the surface, and secretly they are all equivalent to warlords and lords who are divided.

"Trust Norn?

No kidding!

Her covert attempts to weaken the control of other factions have long since been seen through by me.

But now is not the time to turn on her, we need to lie dormant and wait for the perfect moment.

But just because Norn can't be trusted doesn't mean that King-Gitaxias' research isn't worth being wary of.

After all, whether it was this traveling mage of mysterious origin, or the power he possessed that could withstand the infection of the oil, it was a great threat to New Phyrexia.

So this action is not only for Norn, but also for ourselves. ”

As she said this, the corners of Sheoldred's mouth rose slightly, and a smile full of seduction and femininity appeared.

If you ignore the spider-like abdomen of the lower half of its body, and the huge and sharp arthrops like a sickle, the upper body is covered with an unknown substance like a black bodysuit, and it is estimated that it will attract many suitors.

In particular, the entire face above the eyes is completely wrapped in black mesh lace, leaving only the nose, lips, cheeks and chin with a large area of white skin exposed, which is full of a different kind of mystery and attraction.

From the aesthetic point of view of a normal human, Sheoldred is obviously much more beautiful than Norn.

"Jin-Gitaxia Research Report ......"

Gath fell into deep thought for a moment, and at the same time raised his head to stare at Zuo Si, who was standing in the air in the distance, as if no one was caring about himself, continuing to chant the incantation.

Gathering concentrated magical energy from the air, he could clearly feel the power of this terrifying spell, but he didn't rush up to interrupt it as recklessly as Azaks Azog did.

Because in Gais's view, this attack was originally a test and intelligence gathering.

What's more, the praetors of several other black factions, including himself, were hiding in the rear, at least fifteen hundred meters away from the city wall, so they didn't have to worry too much about being affected.

The problem was that the Crypt Lord clearly underestimated the reach and power of legendary magic.

When Zuo Si finished chanting the last syllable, the sky, which had been on the edge of the chrome copper forest and was affected by the sun at the core of green mana, was instantly enveloped in an eerie crimson.

Before those cannon fodder of the Si Clan, who were frantically attacking after Compleation, could react to what had happened, a terrifying storm of flames fell from the sky and swept everything within a three-kilometer radius like raindrops.

With the exception of the city itself, with its towering steel walls, the rest of the New Phyrexian Black Faction's armies and the praetors who commanded and controlled them were all caught off guard by the sudden and widespread attack.

The part near the perimeter was barely able to drag the body melted by the flames outside.

But those who rushed ahead were soon overwhelmed by round after round of rain of flames.

The muscles were quickly burned out, and the metal and inorganic parts melted into a hot red liquid.

No words can describe this apocalyptic horror.

And the rain of fire seemed to be endless, and it rained for more than ten minutes, even if there were no living New Phyrexian creations in the area, there was still no intention of stopping.

Even the flying units in the sky fell to the ground under the continuous onslaught of the rain of fire, and were eventually swallowed up by the hot metal lake.

Yes!

You read that right!

Under the influence of prolonged heat and rain, the metal outside the steel city has completely melted into lakes and rivers, turning into a natural barrier that cannot be crossed.

Having suffered heavy losses, Geth and Sheoldred did not even hesitate, and immediately retreated with the rest of their men.

They are not fools, and when they see this situation, they stupidly let their subordinates rush to their deaths.

There is no doubt that the name of this legendary spell that Zuo Si successfully cast is [Flame Rain].

Even among the many legendary magics, the area of influence is one of the largest, and it lasts for a full twenty hours.

This means that once successful, the area within the area of influence will be bombarded with flames and rainstorms for nearly a day and night, and the damage to the environment will be almost devastating.

If the target is a city, then the city is basically finished.

No building can withstand twenty hours of a torrential rain of flames without being reduced to ashes, not even the reinforced concrete jungles of modern Earth with well-developed fire protection systems.

The melted steel and magma will continue to spread outward, eventually triggering violent explosions in gas pipelines and gas stations.

However, fortunately, Zuo Si controlled the archmage's advanced arcane ability, shaping, and set up the steel city to be unaffected by magic, which avoided accidentally injuring his own people.

Coupled with the replication effect of the Reflection Orb, the density of the Flame Storm in the area of influence was directly doubled on the spot, and hundreds of thousands of New Phyrexian legions were wiped out in the blink of an eye.

Obviously, this is the terrifying deterrent that a legendary mage can play in a large-scale war.

As long as they want, they can cause horrific damage and destruction in a very short period of time.

Ordinary people are as vulnerable to legendary magic as ants.

You must know that the difficulty of learning the legendary spell of [Flame Rain] is not very high, probably less than half of the [Collapse Singularity], which is a little easier than the satellite launch technique [Nailed into the Sky] and a little more difficult than [Mummy Dust].

Most legendary mages can learn and unleash within a minute.

Looking at Zuo Si, who stood like a god in the sky above him, and the rain of flames outside the city walls, all the refugees immediately knelt down after a short silence to express their gratitude and obedience to the supreme master.

Because the former gives them not only food and water to sustain their lives, but also strong military protection.

In Mirrodin, which has been severely infested with oil, the Iron City has become the last place of hope and pure land.

To be exact, almost all the intelligent beings in the entire plane and time that can still be classified as living people are concentrated here.

As for other places, although it cannot be said to be completely dead, they are usually in hiding in families or small clans, and they may be captured by New Phyrexian forces for brutal compleat transformation.

"Soth! You rushed back in time! For a few more days, I'm not sure I'll be able to withstand the onslaught of New Phyrexian creatures that are like a tidal wave. ”

When Zuo Si slowly descended from mid-air to the ground, Elspeth, who was a traveling mage, was the first to rush up and give him a warm hug.

Melira followed and ran from a distance, her eyes full of undisguised joy.

"Don't be presumptuous, I'm sure you can do it. But what's going on with these guys? Why did they suddenly lay siege to the City of Steel? Zuo Si touched his chin and asked with interest.

Elspeth let go of her arms and shook her head with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, I don't know exactly what happened.

But what is certain is that the forces of New Phyrexia should have no other enemies in this plane, so they have targeted us.

I know Phyrexia, and I know the goals of those who have been devoured and transformed by the oil.

If nothing else, they will soon try to launch a second attack, and they will not stop until the nail is pulled out. ”

"What do you mean...... Has New Phyrexia finished infecting most of the entire Mirrodin? ”

A look of surprise appeared on Zuo Si's face.

Because according to his previous calculations, it would take at least a year or two for New Phyrexia to complete the infection of the entire plane.

Could it be that your calculations were wrong?

Or is there something going on inside the plane?

It seems that it is necessary to take the time to contact the spy planted inside, the Urabath who has been transformed by the new oil and is now the Red Judge of the Red Devil.

Elspeth, who has an unforgettable hatred for Phyrexia, obviously didn't know about Zuosi's banner in the Mirrodin plane, and thought that the other party was worried about the safety of the Iron City, and immediately explained: "I don't know if it has completed the infection of the entire space.

But what is certain is that they have their sights on here.

In addition, the ability of Melira to clear oil infections is also a concern.

If New Phyrexia had discovered and confirmed her existence, it would surely have killed her entirely at all costs.

Oh, I almost forgot to introduce you to a few new friends.

They're traveling mages just like us. ”

As she spoke, Elspeth turned and pointed to a man not far away covered in metal and rock.

"His name is Koth, and he is a survivor of the Washk's Hammer tribe and the second native traveling mage born on the plane of Mirrodin."

"Hello! Nice to meet you. I have seen many of my fellow Vashuks who have survived by your grace and protection in this city of steel, and you are our benefactor. ”

Koth grinned and stepped forward to say hello.

Like most Washks, he has a very straightforward personality and gives the impression that he has no brains.

However, if you look closely, you will see that this is a natural leader with a lot of finesse.

At least among the Vashks it has a high prestige.

"I'm glad to meet you, too."

Zuo Si also responded with a smile.

Elspeth followed and then pointed to a man with short hair and a hood next to him, and continued, "This is Venser with Koth, an inventor and artifactist who has worked with the mages of the Ancient Brigade to mend the rift in time. He came this time to find Karn, the creator of Mirrodin and worshipped as a god by the New Phyrexian powers. ”

"Hello, Soth, I've heard that you came to this plane a long time ago. If you can, can you give me some news about New Phyrexia and Karn? ”

There's an impatience in Venser's tone that can't be disguised.

Because his job before becoming a traveling mage was to collect a large number of warships, constructs, and war machine wreckage left behind after the Phyrexian invasion of Dominania during the Yawgmoth era, and find useful parts to build teleporters, and then sell them to customers who need them.

So it's very clear how terrible the rate at which Phyrexian oil erodes is.

Especially for a Silver Golem like Karn, which was composed purely of metal.

Zuo Si replied without thinking: "Of course, I am more than happy to help in the best way I can.

But you'd better be prepared.

For Norn, the leader of New Phyrexia, has come to see Karn as the father of New Phyrexia, and has even founded a religion based on it.

As far as I can tell, they're pouring oil on Karn every day.

And the heart that Urza used to make Karn was flowing with oil.

That's why Mirrodin is the way it is. ”

"What?! You mean...... Karn created this plane, and at the same time the source of the world's contamination with oil? ”

It was obviously the first time for Venser to hear such a powerful secret, and the whole person suddenly opened his mouth wide in shock, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Zuo Si nodded seriously: "Yes." Do you know why Urza made Karn in the first place? ”

"Why?"

Venser's brain was already in a state of chaos at the moment, and he subconsciously asked.

"Because of guilt!

Urza once knew a Phyrexian named Sanga, a synthetic human endowed with self-awareness and the ability to think independently, and who looked almost indistinguishable from a normal person.

He has no gender, and was created to infiltrate other planes and facilitate the Phyrexian invasion.

However, this Sanga hated Yagmoth and the Phyrexian forces that controlled him, so he voluntarily chose to betray and cooperate with Urza.

But Urza's blindness to hatred, combined with the hubris of his character, eventually led Sanga to give his life for it.

In order to make up for his guilt, and to remember his mistakes, Urza chose to create the Silver Golem Karn from Sangar's heart, and kept a vast amount of destructive ancient heritage inside.

In other words, in his heart, he actually wanted to complete his revenge on Yagmoth and the whole of Phyrexia with Sanga. ”

Zuo Si very simply shook out this unknown secret.

After all, Urza had been dead for years, and Karn, the legacy of the Ancient Brigade mage, was about to become his possession.

"Nope! Wrong! Since Karn was made from a Phyrexian heart, why hadn't he been infected and corrupted before? ”

As if trying to grasp the last straw, Venser asked aloud in a very excited tone.

Zuo Si sighed slightly and replied, "Because of mending the time rift."

Remember the price paid by the Archmage of Time, Teferi, and countless Ancient Travelers, to save the entire universe?

The spark of all the Brigade Mages inevitably deteriorated after this.

Until then, Urza could easily resist the erosion of the oil with the godlike power of his Ancient Brigade mage.

So at that time, Karn didn't have to worry about the oil in his heart at all.

Later, before he died, Urza gave Karn his spark, so the latter also gained the power of the Ancient Traveling Mage, and even created the Ancient Silver, the predecessor of the Mirrodin plane.

But as the sparks deteriorated and even disappeared, the oil in Karn's body eventually overflowed.

That's why he's doing everything he can to return to Mirrodin and seal himself away from the core of the entire plane.

So if you want to save Karn, save it.

He's no longer the Karn you know, but the father of New Phyrexia, about to become the second terrifying being of Yagmoth. ”

As these words blurted out, Venser's whole body collapsed instantly, and he knelt on the ground with a thud and covered his face with his hands, as if he couldn't accept the bad news.

After all, for him, the two most important people in the entire universe were Teferi, the Archmage of Time, and Karn, the Silver Golem.

The former is more like a teacher, while the latter is a close friend.

Of course, the reason why Zuo Si said this was to discourage Venser from going to the heart of Mirrodin.

Because no one knew Karn's current state, not even Norn, who had been standing by her all day.

You must know that in the original timeline, this special silver golem relied on its strong willpower and belief to hold on for a long time.

Now, he not only has a heart that carries the original oil, but also a new oil that has been injected into his body.

The two are intertwined and devouring each other, transforming each other, and God knows exactly what will happen.

In addition, Zuo Si is also very, very interested in the spark that was inherited from the legendary traveling mage Urza and lost in the time vortex.

He felt that if he controlled Karn and looked for the missing spark from his memory, he would be able to find a way to retrieve the lost spark in the time rift.

"Nope! I don't believe Karn will turn into a monster! I'm going to find him in the depths of the earth! ”

Venser suddenly rose from the ground, his eyes revealing an irrational madness.

Regarding his overreaction, Zuo Si just shrugged his shoulders and helped: "It doesn't matter, I won't stop you anyway, but you don't expect to get any help from me." Because the situation in the Iron City is not optimistic now, we don't have the energy to care about other things. ”

But as if he didn't understand the meaning of the sentence, Venser turned his head and stared straight at Melirai.

"This girl must come with me! Her ability to remove the oil's infestation would surely help Karn. ”

"No!

You can risk your own life to save your friends, but you must not joke with someone else's life.

Melira is the key to the inhabitants of the Steel City fending off the New Phyrexian onslaught, and I will not allow her life to be threatened in the slightest. ”

Zuo Si unceremoniously rejected Venser's unreasonable request.

Although in the original plot, this guy and Koth successfully entered the core of Mirrodin with Merrilay, and succeeded in saving Karn at his own expense.

He even made a big fuss about the Judge Council.

But the problem is that the crisis encountered along the way is definitely not something that can be explained in a few words.

With Melira's current state of being powerless, any Phyrexian killer who pops up can easily send him to Yellow Springs.

The most important thing is that Zuo Si doesn't know if this girl's ability to immunize and remove the infection of glistening oil will completely disappear with death, even if she uses divine magic to resurrect it, it can't be restored.

So he can't gamble, and he doesn't dare to gamble.

"Bastard! Don't you have a little compassion? ”

Venser was visibly anxious, and his tone and movements became aggressive.

But the next second......

He found that a big hand with iron gloves had grabbed his neck at lightning speed, and lifted the whole person off the ground with his feet off the ground.

The intense feeling of suffocation and poor blood circulation suddenly made the traveling mage's face turn red and purple.

But no matter how much I struggled and tried to break the pincer-like fingers, it was to no avail.

At this moment, Zuo Si's black pupils no longer had any smile and warmth, but were full of frightening profundity, and he issued a final warning in a tone without a trace of emotion: "Don't beat Mei Lilai's idea, do you understand?" Answer me! Got it? ”

With these words, the strength of the fingers began to increase, as if to cut off the other party's fragile neck alive.

You must know that after digesting the divine power of Tiamat, the god of evil dragons, all of Zuosi's basic attributes have increased by five points, and now his power attributes are a full seventy.

Not to mention the traveling mage in front of him, who mainly relies on his brain and technique to eat, even if the Frost Giant and the Genting Giant come, he can still rely on brute force to press on the ground and rub it repeatedly.

And seventy points of strength attribute is far from the maximum limit.

As a Hell Lord, he can also draw energy to exert terrifying powers that are far beyond normal human comprehension by casting god-like powers, such as directly pulling a planet or a plane closer and farther.

"Damn! Let go! Venser is going to be strangled to death by you! ”

Seeing that Venser had begun to roll his eyes and visibly lose consciousness, Elspeth rushed to stop the tragedy and threw several healing spell cards in one go.

Especially seeing the horrific handprint on the former's neck and the almost crushed fracture of the spine, she couldn't imagine what would have happened if she had been a little later.

"Don't worry, I'm measured, he won't die. And even if he dies, I have a way to resurrect him. ”

Zuo Siman pursed his lips nonchalantly.

When Koth on the side heard this, the corners of his mouth immediately twitched violently uncontrollably.

As a traveling mage skilled at moving boulders and mountains, shattering rock walls, and purifying minerals and metals, he was originally quite confident in his strength.

But after seeing the legendary magic [Flame Rain] released by Zuo Si, as well as the terrifying muscular brute force that he inadvertently displayed when dealing with Venser just now, he suddenly felt that if he really fought, he was afraid that he would be knocked down in a few minutes.

That's why Venser was almost strangled to death, and Koth didn't help.

He understood that if he made a move, it would only make the situation worse, and it was better to wait for Elspeth, who had a better relationship with Zuo Si, to come forward.

In addition, he felt that Venser's attempt to take Meliret was a bit too selfish.

After all, without this little girl who could get rid of the oil infestation, the refugees of the Iron City would not last long, and they would have transformed into minions of New Phyrexia under the constant infestation.

In this way, what was originally a good meeting with the traveling mage finally ended with Venser being strangled by Zuo Si and fainted.

Since it was still raining fiercely outside, it was clear that the Iron City would not need too many guards for a short time.

Leaving behind a small number of guards to stand guard, the rest of the refugees, who had been fighting for a long time and had long been exhausted, returned to the square to start cooking, singing and dancing to celebrate this hard-won victory.

Zuo Si was also very generous to let the warehouse take out more meat and alcoholic beverages to reward these tenacious and tenacious residents of Mirrodin, which immediately caused a tsunami of cheers.

However, he did not attend the banquet himself, and returned to the laboratory with a few traveling mages.

According to the old rules, Zuo Si first used his magic to summon a table of heroes, and then ate and talked with Melira, Koss, and Elspeth.

As for Venser, although he had woken up under the effect of healing magic, because of the conflict between the two just now, he was not embarrassed to come over to eat and drink for nothing, so he could only sit and watch others eat, and he kept swallowing saliva while smelling the fragrance.

In the end, the kind-hearted Elspeth couldn't look at it, so she casually picked up some food and a can of wine and sent it to the front.

Venser thanked him in a very low voice, and then began to gobble it up and stuff it into his mouth.

You must know that in Mirrodin, Zuosi is almost the only place where you can eat normal food, and it is also the top hero's feast with its own magic effect.

Even traveling mages are willing to go to other planes with the power of sparks for a meal, and they can only go hungry or eat some local specialties that are difficult to describe.

Returning to her seat, Lespeth finally asked, "Can't we really go deep into the core of Mirrodin to see what's going on with Karn?" ”

"Do you know what has become of the Mirrodin Core today?"

Zuo Si casually picked up an oyster and poured it into his mouth, sneering and asking rhetorically.

"I don't know."

Elspeth sighed helplessly.

She also understands that this is obviously a bit of a strong man's difficulty.

After all, the forces of New Phyrexia have already reached the doorstep of the Steel City, and as the core of the space-time that was first infected, it is conceivable that there must be countless glistening oil creations all over the place.

"But the problem is that it's not a way to defend the Steel City like this! Only by getting Karn done will we be able to address the root causes of New Phyrexia and the oil infestation. ”

Koth wiped out the pork knuckle in his hand with great speed, and thrust into his mouth with a glossy face.

But Zuo Si shook his head and retorted, "No, things have come to this point, even if they succeed in rescuing Karn, it won't help.

Because the Council of Meanings, led by Norn, has established an effective rule within New Phyrexia.

This meant that Karn was no longer a necessity.

And like I said, Karn's biggest problem was that the core that held him together was a Phyrexian artifact of oil.

This means that unless the core is destroyed, even Merrilai will not be able to get rid of a device that can produce a steady stream of oil.

But destroying the core would mean Karn's death as well.

Did you see Karn to kill him?

Or, who among you is ready to sacrifice yourselves to replace Karn's original core with the Spark of the Brigade Mage? ”

Moment!

Both Koth and Venser's faces became unusually ugly.

As a new traveling mage, Koth obviously wouldn't sacrifice his spark and life for an outsider.

Venser was clearly not prepared for this.

In the original plot, the reason why he happily handed over the spark to Karn was essentially that he knew that he had been seriously injured and died soon, and that it was better to save a friend before he died.

Paying attention to the reactions of the two, Zuo Si's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of playfulness that was not easy to detect, and he continued to himself: "As far as I know, there are several powerful praetors in New Phyrexia now.

And each one is practicing their own understanding of the oil and Phyrexia.

They have more power than you can contend with.

In particular, the incomparable infecting ability of the oil is not immune to even the traveling mage once captured.

Most importantly, have you ever wondered what it would mean for the entire universe if you were captured and became the object of the Praetor study?

Once they master the technology to compleat you without losing a spark, they will be able to use the ability of the traveling mage to travel through any time and space to infect thousands of planes across the universe at the same time, spreading the oil everywhere.

At that point, Karn's painstaking efforts to return and seal himself in Mirrodin were to be completely ruined.

And you ......

All are sinners! ”

In order to let the two stunned young men in front of him understand the seriousness of the problem, Zuo Si did not leave any emotion this time.

Because imprisoning New Phyrexia in Mirrodin was one of the important goals he wanted to achieve.

Otherwise, once the old oil begins to spread in other worlds, the new oil will never have a chance to completely swallow up the old oil, but will form a situation where the two oils coexist.

This is not the result of leftist thinking.
