Chapter 715: Not All Nightmares (10,000 Words, I wish you all a Happy New Year and all the best)
The Temple of Mystery, the end of the world of Theros.
The ocean cascades down from a steep cliff that is nearly 90 degrees Celsius, creating a view that is more majestic than any waterfall.
At the end of the waterfall and cliff, a huge olive tree grows out of the water and soars into the sky.
According to legend, the tree is an altar to the god of the sky, Krofens, and also symbolizes the health and destiny of the entire world.
But now, the olive tree's original green leaves have been dyed black, and it is also shrouded in a dense and cold black mist.
In the black mist, you can vaguely see large and small twisted and terrifying insects lying on the trunks of olive trees to suck the sap, or gnaw the otherwise dense leaves into a mess.
There is no doubt that the black fog and twisted horror bugs are a manifestation of the constant fall of Theros in the direction of nightmares.
At this moment, Ashiok stood in front of the tree, the corners of his mouth slightly raised to reveal undisguised joy, and the eerie shadow that began to appear in a V-shape from the nose and wrapped around his head, as if the hair was burning like a black flame.
Because his traveling mage spark has been thoroughly connected to the core of this world beneath his feet, countless mortals and even gods have sunk in fear, and they continue to offer a steady stream of near-infinite black and blue mana.
Once Theros is completely transformed into a nightmare world, he can use a spell to send mortals of any time and space into eternal sleep and nightmares.
"Tremble......
Despair, right......
Unleash all the most intense emotions within you!
And then it completely became my spiritual food!
Not all nightmares can be shaken off by waking up!
Not all fears can be overcome with courage! β
With a creepy whisper, Ashiok slowly opened his arms and posed as if he was about to embrace the olive tree.
Although his appearance has always given people a terrifying and terrifying visual impact, his demeanor is surprisingly elegant and full of beauty.
No one knew the true identity or origin of the mysterious brigade mage, let alone whether the appearance was due to racial characteristics, or the result of magic or the ignition of the traveling mage's spark, or even the gender was very vague.
The only thing that is certain is that Ashiok claims to be a Nightmare, but no one has ever seen a second other than him.
On top of that, mystery and the unknown represent the source of fear to some extent.
Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that all of this was deliberately created by Ashiok, who wanted to gradually turn himself into the source of the entire multiverse of fear and nightmares.
Just as the Left wants to turn himself into a symbol of the evil of the multiverse, Ugin seems to want to be the representative of wisdom and reason, and Nicol Bolas makes no secret of his insatiable thirst for strength and power.
Although there is not only one path to the strongest brigade mage, the process is much the same, that is, to abstract and philosophize what you believe in.
Only when this is comprehended, the power of the spark will be released to the maximum.
From this point of view, Ashiok was undoubtedly above ninety-nine percent of the traveling mages, even looking down on the gods in a condescending manner.
As the Nightmare King stood in front of an olive tree at the edge of the world admiring his masterpiece, a humanoid nightmare creature shrouded in black smoke and shadow appeared out of thin air on the surface of the water just a few meters away, emitting a creepy sound from its mouth that seemed to come from hell and the abyss.
"The guy you've been waiting for, he's coming."
"Oh? Are you sure? β
Ashiok stopped all movements in an instant, and slowly turned around, revealing undisguised surprise in his tone.
"Yes, I can already feel his presence, and that faint connection."
As he spoke, the nightmare creature slowly emerged from the black fog and shadows, revealing a face that was almost identical to Zuo Si's.
The difference is that his body is not human, but a mixture of demonic and dragon features, as well as a large mechanical structure modified by the oil infection.
Especially the pair of huge wings covered in metal scales behind him, and the huge power acceleration system built by the oil engine near the wings, extending from the side and spine of the arms, tentacles, and electronic eyes mixed with the flesh and blood of the ancient gods.
It looks like Yagmoth, the creator, god, and supreme ruler of Old Phyrexia, is reincarnated.
Undoubtedly, this is the strongest nightmare that Ashiok has extracted from the fear of Jin-Gitaxias, and it is also the greatest reliance on which he can realize his grand plans.
For the old Phyrexian creatures born of the oil, Yawgmoth had always been the greatest fear in their hearts, even above failure and death.
Although the new oil has stripped away Yagmow's mind and consciousness, and replaced it with Zuosi's own mind and consciousness.
But the awe, fear, and worship that lies at the bottom have not disappeared, and it is just a change of object.
Therefore, in the latent consciousness of the New Phyrexian Judge, there is always a mixed psychology of expectation and fear that this new master will accept Compleat and completely become a second Yagmoth.
With his unparalleled talent, Ashiok keenly captured this, extracting the compleatized image of Zuo Si into a powerful nightmare creature controlled by himself.
Looking at the creation that had succeeded in planting the first seed of fear in the hearts of the gods of Theros, he waved his claw-like fingers and constantly pulled out the silk threads that symbolized spirit and thought, and asked softly, "Do you think he will come to me?" β
"Yes. Not only will he choose to go to war, but he will also kill you with his own hands. β
Nightmare replied in an emotionless tone.
But instead of being the slightest nervous or frightened, Ashiok laughed happily.
"Hahahaha!
Isn't that just right?
Greater power means that there must be greater darkness and fear hidden in the heart.
If you can tear through his psychological defenses, you can dig out the most powerful nightmares from it.
I'm curious to know what the New Phyrexian father fears. β
"So you're ready for war?" Nightmare continued to ask.
"That's right! I'm ready for war.
Now it's time to turn Erebos, the god of death, and Areios, the god of death, into my own nightmares.
Go, use your power to send their last believers and sacrifices all into a nightmare.
I need to recruit troops and get a few powerful minions before the real war begins. β
With that, Ashiok suddenly released the spiritual threads in his palm, and wound them around the olive tree at great speed, finally forming a fruit-like cocoon at the top.
In just a few seconds, piercing screams and cries for help full of fear and despair came out of it in a steady stream.
Then it began to expand in size from the size of a grain of rice.
Suddenly!
A huge figure with four arms and a whole body like a bright starry sky appeared out of thin air and roared angrily, "Shameless blasphemer! You're not satisfied with killing so many gods and plunging the entire world into a nightmare, and you want to erode the core of the Nix's control of the world? β
"Ahh Isn't this the great Skyrim god Krofens? I thought you'd be avoiding me for a long time. β
Ashiok bowed gracefully to the star giant in front of him with one hand on his chest.
It is clear that this giant with a starry body and four arms is one of the origins of the birth of Theros as a god, and is also the supreme ruler of the Nyx Divine Domain.
As long as Crophons is willing, he can even close the passage between the gods and the mortal world, so that no other gods can descend.
In contrast, his sister Klotis, who was born with him, turned into an eternal seal, imprisoning the original Titans in the underworld, rarely appearing in the sight of mortals and gods.
"Hide?
Less self-righteous, arrogant alien travel mage.
You have no idea how many of Theros have been born like you over the years, and how many traveling mages have visited the world.
But in the end, they all have to give in to the rules I have set.
I am the embodiment of the will and order of this world!
And you're destroying it and twisting it with impunity! β
Crofens was obviously completely enraged, and every word blurted out would be accompanied by a violent vibration of space, as if destruction would come in the next second.
But Ashiok, as if he had no fear, did not pay any attention to the anger of this powerful god, and still responded with a faint smile on his face: "But I am different from them, am I?
At least the other traveling mages have nothing to do with the Nitsu Divine Domain under your control, and naturally they can't really shake the foundation of the gods of Theros.
Because even if the original gods die because of the fading of faith, new gods will soon be born one after another due to the needs and desires of mortals.
As the ruler of the Divine Domain, you can always rest easy and continue to maintain the existing order.
But I'm different!
The nightmares I created were mirrored in the realm of the gods of Nyx, which was made up of dreams and subconscious, dimming the starry sky that symbolized the gods and expanding the shadows.
Your power and authority have been weakened, just like this olive tree.
So you're in fear, terrified of yourself and the ultimate nightmare that the world is about to bring.
And your fear will strengthen me.
It's like a spiraling cycle, and you're the prey trapped in it.
Look, it won't be long before I'll suck you dry completely and condense a delicious fruit. β
After eating it, the world is completely mine. β
"No!! You're dreaming! I'm not going to let you get away with it! β
With a deafening roar, Crofens finally couldn't help but choose to shoot anymore.
Although he is not technically the creation god of the Theros plane, even the title of the first god is up for debate (the true first god should be the terrifying flesh and blood incarnation of the primordial species, the Titan).
But it is undeniable that after the establishment of the Niz Divine Domain, this one definitely has the power to reshape the entire world.
So when Crofens slapped down, the entire sky shattered, and endless energy slanted out from the Nitsu Domain, as if he wanted to kill the Nightmare King in front of him at the cost of destroying the world.
But in the face of such a devastating attack, Ashiok's reaction was only to hook his fingers.
In the twinkling of an eye!
Vast shadows poured out of the realm, enveloping all the energy that had poured out before, like a curtain, even Crofens's massive arm.
In just a few seconds, the strongest god was firmly bound in place, unable to move.
That embarrassment didn't look like a supreme lord who could make the gods of the Theros plane bow down.
Ashiok, on the other hand, seemed to have done a trivial thing, mocking in a condescending and contemptuous tone: "With your current state, you still want to kill me?
What a naivety!
The realm of the gods, the source of power you rely on, is already filled with mortal fears and nightmares.
And this power allows me to influence and even control you to a certain extent.
Ever since the world began to fall in the direction of nightmares, you have been unable to pose any threat to me.
For now, I'm still standing here honestly watching how I suck the Nex Divine Domain dry and condense the fruit of fear.
Compared to you stupid and arrogant gods, I'm more looking forward to fighting another opponent.
Now, get on your knees. β
As the last word blurted out, Ashiok suddenly raised his hand and made a downward motion.
Rumble!!!!!!
Crofens' exaggerated body knelt down and bowed his noble head to the Nightmare King like a servant, and the bright starry sky that his body had originally presented quickly became dim, but was quickly shrouded in a layer of shadows and black mist.
Things have developed to this point, and the gods of the Theros plane may no longer have the slightest possibility of turning defeat into victory except for releasing those sealed Titans.
Of course, even if it is released, it may not be useful.
After all, once the fruit of fear condenses and is eaten by Ashio, then he will become the supreme controller of this world, and he can directly erase everything by changing the rules.
Even powerful Titans like the Heavenly Fury Titan Ulo and the Nightmare Titan Rakshasa are no exception.
β¦β¦
At the same time, Zoth forged a new alliance with Xenagos, the god of pleasure, and began a hunt for the remaining gods of the Theros plane.
And the first to be targeted is none other than the sun god Heliod's good brother and biggest rival - Prophons, the god of forging.
After all, the place where he lived was so conspicuous, in a large lava pool in the deepest part of Mount Verus.
The sound of forging echoed in the surrounding sky along with the eruption of the volcano, and could be heard from afar.
In the face of this irascible and murderous god, Zuo Si did not choose to compleat it through complepots and sacrifices, but chose to directly kill it and transform it into an immortal god.
Right now, this battle between the demon gods has razed everything within a radius of dozens of kilometers around the entire Verus Mountain.
The towering mountains have turned into flat ground and even deep pits of different sizes, and the rocks have melted into a huge sea of lava under the collision of divine power and quasi-divine power.
"Prophons! Do you know what you look like a lost dog right now? β
Xenagos kicked him to the ground, grinning his talent for sarcasm and sarcasm.
For these arrogant and arrogant native gods, he has long been holding back the fire, and now he has finally found a channel to vent.
In particular, both the Forge God and the Sun God saw him as a thief usurping the power of the gods, much to the displeasure of the newborn God of Pleasure.
"Shut up! You vile and shameless villain! Even if I die in battle, I'm ten thousand times stronger than you! β
Prophons struggled to his feet from the lava, covered in wounds and scars, the most fatal of which was the one in the chest, nearly piercing the heart.
Undoubtedly, like the other gods of the Theros plane, the once-powerful Forge God has been greatly weakened by the drastic decline in the number of believers, sacrifices, and worshippers.
At present, it has even fallen to the point that even Xenagos cannot beat it.
In its heyday, the battle between Prophons and the sun god Heliod could tear the sky apart, and even the aftermath of the spillover could easily bury a city-state.
But now, his divine power is firmly confined to these mountains, and he can't even pass it on.
And he also knew very well that he was afraid that he would not be able to escape today, and he would follow in the footsteps of his sworn enemy Heliod and become one of the original gods who were killed.
However, the real threat of death did not come from Xenagos, the god of greed, but from Zuo Si, who was holding a dazzling golden electric sword and remained silent from the beginning to the present.
The extreme oppression displayed by the latter's every move, as well as the light, graceful and deadly swordsmanship like a dance, made Prophons powerless to fight back.
What's more, the other party's appearance is so similar to the powerful nightmare that killed the sun god Heliod that it's hard not to make a connection with it.
"Who the hell are you?"
The God of Forging questioned as he stared at Zuo Si's deep eyes, which remained calm even in the heat of battle.
"You can call me Soth. As for the rest, I don't think it's necessary to explain too much about a dying God. β
Zuo Si gently shook off the hot divine blood stained on the sword's body, obviously not taking the other party into account at all.
Because after the battle test just now, he has basically determined that the gods of the Theros plane are completely slaves of faith.
Don't look at the heyday of these guys, a man who looked like a dog, and could unleash devastating destructive power with every move.
But as soon as faith and worship begin to dwindle, there is hardly any lag in its power, and it immediately begins to decay at a rate visible to the naked eye.
When completely forgotten by mortals, then this so-called god will really disappear completely, and there will be no corpses and remains.
That's why the gods of the Theros plane always show up, fight, and rain down all kinds of oracles so often.
They are more afraid of being forgotten by mortals than the gods of other worlds, just like those celebrity Internet celebrities who are always brushing their sense of existence and rubbing traffic.
"Soth? What is your relationship with the nightmare that Ashiok summoned? Prophons continued to ask.
Zuo Si replied nonchalantly, "That nightmare is me, or the subconscious fear projection of one of my praetors, who has some of my strength and abilities. β
"So you came to Theros to kill Ashiok and destroy Nightmares?"
The god of forging seemed to understand something, and subconsciously clenched the fiery war hammer in his hand.
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "That's right." This is indeed one of the most important purposes of my trip. β
"In that case, then why did you cooperate with Xenagos to kill me? If it's against Ashiok, we should be allies. β
Prophons' tone was full of confusion and incomprehension.
"I'm sorry, but I'm picky about allies.
Normally, arrogant fools and weaklings without strength are not qualified to be my allies.
Unfortunately, you and your siblings happen to have both.
As the gods who rule the plane of Theros, you have neither protected the world nor blessed the mortals who have offered their faith and worship.
What is the use of such waste?
That's why I'm going to kill all of you gods before I go to Ashiok to settle accounts.
Rest assured, you may be the first, but you will never be the last.
After killing you, I will make you an immortal god and drive you as high-level cannon fodder and a slave. β
When he said this, Zuo Si did not hide his intentions at all, and completely released the strong malice in his heart.
"Eternal God?"
Prophons' face suddenly became extremely ugly.
After all, he is used to being high, how can he accept such an insult as being suddenly ridiculed in front of him as a waste.
"You can think of it as a god's version of an undead creature. And among the materials necessary to make it, there happens to be a living god. β
With the last word blurted out, Zuo Si's whole person disappeared in place in an instant.
Next Second......
Burst!
"Ahh!!!!!hh
Prophons only felt a sharp pain in his chest, and when he looked down, he found that his heart had been directly pierced, and blood gushing out of the wound like molten iron.
"No!!!!!! Don't you think! I will never be anyone's slave! β
The god of forging roared and swung his hammer to make a final stand.
But it's a pity that he obviously forgot that Zuo Si has never been a person who likes to play one-on-one fair duels, but prefers to build an overwhelming advantage to fight more and fight less.
I saw that Xenagos, the god of greed, rushed up directly in stride, grabbed Prophons' hands and fixed him in place, unable to move, and sneered and mocked: "This is not up to you!" Resign yourself to your fate, you arrogant primordial gods are about to usher in the final twilight. And I will replace you as the god-king of the new era! β
"Let go of me! Shameless usurper! You should never become the king of the gods of Theros! β
Prophons struggled frantically to break free, and even though the sword piercing his heart had widened the wound several times over, he didn't want to stop.
Soon, however, a creepy chant of incantations came to my ears.
He turned his head abruptly and found that the little divine power he had left had had been extracted and stripped from his body and even the Niz Divine Domain at an extremely fast speed.
After a while, he weakly lost all his ability to resist, and could only watch his life being drained little by little, until death came.
When the God of Forging was dead and turned into a withered corpse, Zuo Si re-infused the extracted divine power and added a large amount of black mana representing death.
Gradually, one mysterious and evil rune after another began to reappear on the corpse of the god, and finally completely covered the whole body, and the immortal god was completely made.
Before Xenagos could react to what had happened, Profens's huge body had completely disappeared without a trace.
It's a little Brigade Mage card, to be exact.
[Creature Card: Eternal-Evil God - Prophonus (Undead/Deity)]
[LV30 Black Card (Non-Upgradeable)]
[Card Quality: Unique]
[Effect: Summons the Immortal God Prophonus to serve you until you are killed.]
Not only does he possess almost the vast majority of his life's strength, but he also retains his full consciousness, memory, and combat experience, making him as powerful and invincible as a true god.
When the Immortal God is summoned, you get extra mana for each enemy you kill.
The more creatures you kill, the more powerful Prophons becomes.
As a former god of forging, he has the ability to forge a wide variety of artifacts, as well as manipulation and immunity to fire damage.
However, it must be noted that when the power of the Immortal God grows beyond that of the Traveling Mage, he may get out of control.
You can only craft up to four cards of the Immortal God.
If you make a fifth, you must choose one of the previous four cards and dispose of them as a discarded card.
[To use this card, you need to pay 1,500 black mana, or 1,500 universal mana]
[The core of the Immortal Spark is the divine spark that distorts death, so as long as it still exists, it can theoretically be repaired infinitely, but once the divine spark is damaged, it means that it will completely disappear and die]
"Awesome! Now I have two immortal gods......"
Zuo Si looked at the text description on the card, pursed the corners of his mouth and showed a satisfied smile.
You must know that Prophos is second only to the god of the sky, Crofens, and is in the second echelon of powerful gods alongside the sun god Heliod and the god of death Erebos.
The craftsmanship level of its forging artifacts is definitely the top.
The [Chengyang Sword] that Esspeth once used was his masterpiece.
It's just that now it has been transformed into a Void Sword that specializes in killing gods.
"You made Prophonus into a traveling mage card?"
Xenagos's eyes widened, barely believing what he was seeing.
Although he was once quite a powerful traveling mage, he never knew of a traveling mage who could turn a god into his own summoned creatures.
Zuo Si smiled and asked, "Otherwise, do you think that I spent so much time and energy hunting down gods just to make you ascend to the throne of the king of the gods?"
Don't be sentimental, dear Xenagos.
You should be well aware that our cooperation is based on having common interests.
I get what I want by killing these gods, and you can cut out more competitors and enemies, clearing the way for monopolizing faith and becoming the supreme god-king in the future. β
"Hahahaha! That's right! After all, we are all out-and-out egoists, and only a fool would sacrifice his own interests to fulfill others. β
The god of greed burst out laughing.
But soon he stopped laughing and asked bluntly, "Who's next?" Morgis, the god of slaughter? Storm god Keranos? Or Tassa, the god of the sea, or Erphala, the god of the city-state? As far as my personal preference is concerned, I prefer to take out Tassa, the god of the sea, first. β
Zuo Si smiled and shook his head: "No, no, no, you are too impatient, my friend."
That's not how the game is played.
Our killing of Prophons is actually the equivalent of handing over a letter of war to Ashio.
It will be up to him to react.
If nothing else, the Nightmare King would have responded by choosing a god to kill or transform into his own nightmares.
In other words, we use the Theros plane as a hunting ground, and these gods are marked prey.
When I succeeded in hunting one, Ashiok had to hunt one as well.
The real showdown won't begin until you're the only one left in the end. β
"Hunting gods as a warm-up before going to war? You're crazy enough! β
After listening to Zuo Si's explanation, Xenagos only felt a tingling in his scalp, and he didn't understand what these two brigade mages had gone through, and they could actually raise their strength to such a level.
If he had known that the Traveling Mage could become so powerful, he would not have easily given up his spark and become the god of this world.
"Hehe, I'll tell you the truth, I'm actually enjoying the game.
After all, with the exception of Nicol Bolas and Ugin, there were few other traveling mages that made me feel a little nervous and excited.
You've been careful lately, it's better not to run around if you're fine, otherwise it's a shame to be caught and killed by Ashiok.
If there's nothing else I'll go first, goodbye. β
Zuo Si directly activated the teleportation magic and disappeared in place, leaving only the god of greedy joy standing in a daze in a hot magma.
β¦β¦
On the other side, Elspeth was anxiously trying to appease and control little Annie.
Because this little ancestor with powerful god-like powers, after his biological father Zuo Si left, he directly grabbed the huge ancient god-like creation that shrouded the head of the city-state, and forcibly reshaped his appearance through an unknown ability and turned into a rather mad doll.
In particular, the shadow energy emanating from within could turn a dozen large living people into mutilated corpses that fell to the ground in an instant.
Not far from Anne, there were a dozen dead centaurs.
And the cause of their death is also very simple, that is, they showed a little malice, wanting to snatch the baby girl and sell it for money.
As a result, in less than a second, the doll appeared in its original form and went on a killing spree.
It was only at this moment that Elspeth finally understood how accurate Zuo Si's previous description of the baby girl was.
This is indeed an extremely terrifying little demon star.
The most important thing is that she has no consciousness and no concept of good and evil, and all her actions are completely in accordance with instinct, feeling, and curiosity.
"Little Anne is the most well-behaved. Come, will you give that thing in your hand to my sister? β
Elspeth deliberately put on a kind and friendly appearance to induce the little guy to hand over the dangerous and terrifying doll in his hand.
"No, no, no, no!"
It's a pity that little Anne didn't eat this set at all, shook her head without hesitation to refuse, and hugged the mad doll tightly in her arms.
Seeing that this little little firewood, rice, oil and salt did not enter, even Elspeth, who had always been good-tempered, couldn't help but be a little crazy, and the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably.
She used to think that she liked children, especially the chubby and cute babies, all of whom were pure and flawless little angels.
But now, there is a clear change in her perceptions and ideas.
It's like having a pet, it's always the most interesting thing to watch others raise.
Once you change to yourself, all kinds of hygiene, house demolition, tossing, random urine and urine problems will follow, driving a person crazy.
In the same way, raising children is the same.
Don't look at the children one by one they are very cute, but in fact, there is a little devil living in their hearts, but most of the time you can't see it if you don't raise it yourself.
"I feel like I'm going crazy! Ajani, do you have any good ideas? β
Elspeth didn't look back to her good friend for help.
But as a result, instead of wanting to help, Goldmane Ajani hurriedly took a few steps back, and waved his hand desperately with a panicked face: "Please, you can spare me." Whenever I get closer, this little one will try to control me with her magic and turn me into a big cat to ride on. It's horrible! β
"Poofhahahaha! I can't imagine that a brave and fearless lion warrior would be afraid of a baby who has just been born. β
Elspeth couldn't hold back a laugh.
Without him, it's really that huge contrast that's so interesting.
You must know that Ajani is more than two meters tall, not only is he tall, but the lion's head also looks extremely fierce.
But who would have thought that such a lion macho man would be frightened by a baby only the size of his palm, and he would not dare to approach it.
"Damn! You're still in the mood to laugh! Contact Soth to get him back, we can't handle this horrible little creature either. Ajani rolled her eyes angrily and urged.
"Don't worry, wait.
Soth said he was going to see an old friend to check on the situation, and I thought we should give him more time.
After all, Ashiok is the most powerful Brigade mage enemy we've ever encountered other than Nicol Bolas.
And given the dire situation at Theros, we can only pin our hopes on him. β
Elspeth tossed a wooden doll carved out of a dagger to little Anne in an attempt to distract her, but unsurprisingly failed.
Because it is a relationship of divine power, little Anne is not as easily tempted by all kinds of new things as ordinary babies, and can often distinguish the value of most items at a glance.
This means that it is not easy to deceive her.
Ajani sighed helplessly: "AlasβI know if you don't say it."
In particular, the nightmare created by Ashiok that looks almost the same as Soth's is simply a bit outrageous.
And he doesn't have a soul and won't be affected by my spells.
Sometimes I wish it was a nightmare and woke up and it was all gone.
By the way, what did the mermaid brigade mage Kiora say before?
Would she like to join us? β
Elspeth smiled bitterly and shook her head: "It's a pity that Kiora mercilessly refused. She's a traveling mage from the Zendikar plane, and she doesn't really care about the life or death of this world outside of her hometown. β
"Well, to be expected. After all, fools like us are only a minority after all. Ajani laughed at herself in a slightly sarcastic tone.
Just when he was about to say something, a portal suddenly opened out of thin air, and Zuo Si's figure appeared in front of the two of them.
Just as Elspeth wanted to pick up little Anne and send her back, the latter teleported directly from the same place to Zuo Si, and plunged into his father's arms and rubbed around, giggling constantly.
"Oh my God! You're back! β
Elspeth breathed a sigh of relief, and rubbed her face, which was beginning to be paralyzed in order to maintain a friendly smile.
"How, do you feel the horror of this little demon star now?"
Zuo Si kissed his daughter's forehead, and then asked in a half-joking tone.
"Yes, I have been taught.
No wonder you chose to take her with you.
I can't imagine how much of a mess it would have been if I had been left in the care of someone else.
Also, you'd better pay attention to the doll in Little Annie's hand.
It was crafted from the twisted monster that had previously shrouded over the city. β
Elspeth kindly reminded her.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
Zuo Si undoubtedly found the "new toy" in his daughter's hand at the first time, but he did not take immediate action.
Because in his opinion, this thing is far from dangerous.
At least it's not the most dangerous of all the toys made by Little Anne herself, and it's still under control.
Those that are really dangerous, even he has to deal with carefully, otherwise it will cause unimaginable terrible disasters.
"That's good. Now let's get down to business. How much do you really know about Ashiok? β
Elspeth changed the topic in an instant, and the expression on her face became solemn and solemn.
Zuo Si replied very dryly: "I don't know much about him, except that he is good at creating nightmares, playing with the fear in other people's hearts, and turning fear into a nightmare creature. In other words, the greater the fear in a person's heart, the stronger the nightmare creatures that can be created. β
"Like that monster just like you?"
Ajani couldn't help but interject.
"Yes, like that monster just like me. And I can tell you very clearly that this nightmare creature was born out of fear from one of my men, who possesses some of my abilities. β
Zuo Si gave a straightforward affirmative answer.
"Can you beat him, then?"
Elspeth raised her top concerns.
Zuo Si smiled and nodded: "Of course." When have you ever seen a counterfeit counterfeit beat the original? In fact, I've just handed Ashiok a letter of war, and he should respond soon......"
