Chapter 962 Killing Wu Jin
As we all know, in the modern social science system, trust is considered a dependence relationship.
If both parties trust each other, it often means that there is an exchange of interests between them.
Only when each other needs each other can this trusting relationship be maintained for a long time.
So essentially trust is an intangible luxury.
Because the cost of establishing trust is often very high, and it takes a lot of time and energy to maintain.
The most important thing is that this thing is just like reputation, once it is damaged, it is almost irreversible.
Obviously, as killers who could be hired by anyone, the relationship between the Gorgon Vaskar and Nicol Bolas could only be regarded as mutual use at best, and there was no so-called trust at all.
To be sure, just one look at the resumes of these two guys will tell that they are both ruthless people who can turn their heads faster than the pages of a book.
Things like betrayal are as common as eating and drinking.
Therefore, the alien planeswalkers who took refuge in Nicol Bolas did not regard Vaskar as one of their own at all, but only regarded her as an object that could be exploited, nothing more.
But now, with the seed entering his body, he finally felt relieved.
Of course, this has nothing to do with trust, it's purely confidence in one's abilities.
After all, so far, no one whose seeds have been planted has been able to escape his control.
"Can I go now?"
Vaska deliberately pretended to be cold and questioning.
The alien planeswalker smiled and replied: "Yes, you can go wherever you want now.
But remember to keep me informed of everything that happens within the Guildpact.
Next, I want to completely dismantle all the resistance in Ravnica before the great dragon comes.
Clear his path to victory. ”
"Hmph! I can't tell you are quite loyal."
Vaska sarcastically said.
Of course, all these emotions, tones, and attitudes are the optimal solutions obtained by the Complete Mind Flayer Tadpole through simulation, calculation, and judgment, just like artificial intelligence simulating a conversation with a person.
"Of course! After all, the great Dragon Lord saved my world, so I will naturally do my best to repay him."
The alien planeswalker gave the answer in a grateful tone.
"Saved your world?"
Vaska was visibly stunned.
Because according to the information she has, Nicol Bolas is an out-and-out mobile natural disaster, bringing killing, destruction and destruction wherever he goes.
Even if they have other purposes and fail to take the above actions, they will often turn into tyrants and rule cruelly.
So normally speaking, unless the entire time and space, including the memory of the gods, has been tampered with like Amonkhet, it is basically impossible for anyone to have any good impressions of this elder dragon planeswalker.
To be precise, most survivors tend to view Nicol Bolas with fear mixed with anger and hatred.
The alien planeswalker nodded slightly: "That's right!
The great Dragon Lord destroyed all the dirty, deformed, and ugly cities in our time and space.
Let everything return to its most original and beautiful natural state.
And also saved me and my compatriots.
To me, he is a savior and benefactor.
So unlike you profit-seeking guys, I am the one he truly trusts. ”
Upon hearing this explanation, Vaska immediately understood what happened, and then turned around and left without looking back.
Obviously, this planeswalker's race is an intelligent creature close to plants, so for them, forests, wilderness and nature are important environments for their survival.
But other races and civilizations are just the opposite. They need to continuously encroach, annex, and transform forests, wilderness, and nature to build cities and villages.
In other words, the contradiction between the two parties is the most fundamental contradiction of existence, and there is no possibility of reconciliation at all.
Therefore, it can be foreseen that a tragic war will definitely break out in this time and space, and the two sides have a never-ending relationship.
But the problem is that a race that relies on the original natural ecological environment for survival will definitely not have as much room for progress as a race that obtains resources through continuous learning, research and transformation of nature.
When the technological level of the latter reaches a certain level, the former will immediately collapse and become a lamb to be slaughtered.
After all, it is easier to destroy nature than to restore it.
In many cases, it only takes a few fires to turn large areas of primeval forests and wilderness into scorched earth.
Just when this group of plant intelligent life was forced into despair, Nicol Bolas arrived and destroyed all cities and villages throughout time and space in a devastating way, and launched a horrific massacre.
To those who survived the destruction, Nicol Bolas was a terrifying natural disaster and butcher, but to the intelligent plant creatures, he was the hero and god who saved them.
It is only natural that some of them would worship and follow this elder dragon planeswalker.
After finding out the approximate origin of this mysterious alien planeswalker, Vaskar quickly used the cave tree in New Phyrexia to pass on all the information he had.
After all this was done, the seed that entered her body seemed to sense something and immediately began to take root and grow inside at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a few minutes, the entire nervous system, spine, and numerous organs were replaced.
To be precise, these plant-based structures completely replaced the original flesh and blood.
At this moment, Vaska is equivalent to a vegetative person wearing the appearance of a gorgon.
There is no doubt that her deliberate leakage of information activated the conditions set in advance in the seed.
If it were an ordinary person, the current situation could basically declare complete death.
But Vaska is obviously not an ordinary person, not even a human being.
After collecting the data on the changes in the entire body, the completed mind flayer tadpole began to shrink rapidly. After a while, it transformed into an expanded electronic nerve brain and returned to its original tadpole form. It jumped directly out of its eyes. Jump into the nearby cave tree.
Before the puppet plant that completely controlled the body could react to what happened, the tadpole jumped out of the cave tree again.
Along with it, there was overwhelming shimmering oil.
boom! ! ! ! !
The huge wave of glittering oil instantly swallowed up the Gorgon.
Not long after, the poor guy whose body and even soul had been hollowed out fell to the ground and began to convulse violently.
About three to five minutes later, she was finally completely controlled by the Mind Flayer Tadpole and Shimmering Oil.
When she opened her eyes again, the Gorgon had completely transformed into half-human, half-machine, and exuded a creepy sense of oppression from her body. It was obviously given powerful power by the omnipotence of Mirrodin. strength.
With a terrifying red light flashing in one of the electronic eyes, Vaska raised his right hand that had turned into a sharp claw and whispered: "Using natural magic to let the plant structure replace a person from the inside?
< br>
It is indeed a quite terrifying ability.
But it was nothing against the great New Phyrexia Shimmer.
Now, let's get on with this fun game. ”
The words have not yet been spoken!
The Gorgon activated its own invisibility system and disappeared.
From this moment on, the confrontation between Zuo Si and Nicol Bolas officially began.
……
At the same time, far away in meditation.
Look at Zuo Si, who has completed his soul transformation and has returned to his body.
Now, not only has he obtained all the soul characteristics of the elder dragon, but he has also received an unexpected upgrade in his dragon form.
Jinji Tasha and Vashtor are conducting comprehensive inspections using various complex instruments.
It is not difficult to see from the extremely excited reactions of the two people how amazing the results of this soul transformation are.
I don’t know how long it took, but when one of them came up with a report, he immediately reported in an ecstatic tone: "Great Father of New Phyrexia, please allow me to congratulate you. Because according to According to the detected data, your connection with the Meditation Realm now transcends Spirit Dragon Wujin.”
"Oh? You mean my body and soul are closer to the Dragon of the Beginning than his?"
Zuo Si narrowed his eyes and asked in an uncertain tone.
Jinji Tasha nodded quickly: "Yes, that's it.
According to the theory derived from the latest research, the so-called Elder Dragon should be a life form created by the Dragon of the Beginning by separating a part of itself.
So after you absorb a large number of broken souls from defeated Elder Dragons, you will naturally be closer to the Dragon of the Beginning than they are.
This is a reverse atavism process.
The only question now is whether, as the remains of the Dragon of the Beginning, his consciousness still remains in the meditation realm.
If so, you may be facing an eventual battle for dominance once you become one with it. ”
"So this might be a challenge?"
Zuo Si obviously did not feel any sense of crisis because of this, but instead showed an expression of interest.
"I don't know. Because we still know too little about the Dragon of the Beginning, and we can't even confirm whether it can be regarded as a living thing and whether it has self-awareness."
Vashtor, who was playing with the instruments, suddenly stopped what he was doing and interrupted.
"Here is the result of us converting part of the energy of the meditation state into entities by reversing the rules. Maybe you can find some useful clues from it."
With that said, Jinji Tasha handed over the extradimensional space container he was holding.
Zuo Si just glanced at it, and his pupils suddenly contracted very obviously.
You must know that after experiencing so much, there is basically nothing that can surprise or even shock him.
But at this moment, he was almost like the first time he ignited the planeswalker spark and was pulled into the dark void, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
I saw a piece of colorful black scales in the extra-dimensional space.
Yes, you heard it right, colorful black.
This is either an outrageous request made by Party A's father, or it is the result of the continuous release of astonishing raw matter and energy from within.
And there is something that is constantly moving like muscle tissue under the scales.
However, if you look closely, you will find that they are not cells and muscles at all, but countless miniature space-times created by constant collisions and explosions. It's just that these time and space are tightly bound by some unknown force, and they can't break free and draw energy from the dark void to develop rapidly.
"This...is this the Dragon of the Beginning?"
Zuo Si released the hyperdimensional space and directly touched what should be the remains of the Dragon of the Beginning with his own hands.
"Careful!"
Jinji Tasha's expression suddenly changed, and she subconsciously wanted to stop him.
But it was too late.
In less than a millisecond, the entire scale, together with the miniature space-time that was constantly being created and destroyed below, surged up in an instant, wrapping Zuo Si's outstretched hand, and nibbling and devouring it at an unimaginable speed.
Gradually, the entire hand including skin, muscles, and bones disappeared.
Just when Jinji Tasha and Vashtor thought it would continue to eat away at their arms and even their bodies, everything suddenly calmed down like pressing the pause button.
Subsequently, the remains of the Dragon of the Beginning began to decompose itself, and eventually turned into sharp dragon claws to replace the originally devoured palms.
Such a strange change immediately made the two guys who were keen on research shine with extremely fanatical expressions in their eyes.
Especially in Jinji Tower, which is the closest, various auxiliary mechanical arms used for experiments have been opened instantly and began to test the dragon claw. At the same time, they did not forget to ask in a hurried tone: "This hand is under your control." Is it controlled? Does it have self-awareness? Can your various magics and abilities be used normally? ”
"Well - how should I put it?
It feels a bit like a prosthetic limb.
Although it can be perfectly controlled, it is not regarded as a part of the body in subjective perception.
But its power is indeed quite amazing, and it can even completely tear apart the soul of the elder dragon. ”
With that said, Zuo Si turned around and cast his eyes maliciously on Spirit Dragon Wujin.
The latter obviously noticed something and immediately retreated to the depths of the Meditation Lake with vigilance.
But it's a pity that the current meditation state is already under Zuo Si's control.
He just hooked his fingers, and an invisible force forcibly pulled Wujin's soul up from the bottom of the lake. Then he used his dragon claw to tear off a fragment of the elder dragon's soul that shone with azure light.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!! No!!!"
The severe pain caused by his soul being torn apart, as well as the fear of complete death, finally made Ugin no longer care about his face and let out a desperate cry.
"Ah! I see! Now you finally have a weapon that can truly kill the elder dragon."
Vashtor's eyes emitted dark red fire to show the ecstasy in his master's heart.
After all, how to deal with the defeated elder dragon planeswalker has always been a very difficult matter.
The risk of imprisoning guys like Ugin and Nicol Bolas for long periods of time was too great.
Who knows if they will suddenly seize an opportunity to escape and then resurrect.
Both of these brothers had the experience of being resurrected after death.
But now, this last hidden danger has been solved.
In the face of the power of the Dragon of the Beginning, even the Elder Dragon, who had no flaws before and could live forever, could only surrender.
"Well, this is indeed an unexpected surprise.
Although it may be accompanied by some unknown hidden dangers.
But how can one achieve self-transcendence without taking any risks?
All the preparation I have done over the years has been leading up to this final moment.
So let this part of the flesh and blood of the Dragon of the Beginning become a part of my power and a witness.
Because what I have to do next is kill all his descendants and replace them. ”
As the last word blurted out, Zuo Si without any hesitation tore Wu Jin's soul into pieces alive.
The deafening screams and wails continued to echo in the sky above the meditation realm.
When everything was settled, he used his gloves to cover the dragon claws that could not change form, and asked directly: "Is there any news worth paying attention to during my busy period?"
"There are indeed a few.
One of them is that one of Nicol Bolas's planeswalkers used his abilities to cause chaos in the plane of Ravnica.
Niv-Mizzet and many of the top leaders of the Guildpact were either seriously injured or killed in a plot, or were directly controlled to start a civil war.
His Highness Graya, the Prince of Darkness, is pursuing the investigation, but due to the other party's caution, there has been no substantial progress.
Lithomancer Nahiri is eager to meet you, and she is most likely a little worried about this matter.
Oh, by the way, Vaskar just completed it completely not long ago and submitted some information about the planeswalker. ”
Jinji Tasha did not dare to hide anything and hurriedly made a concise report of all the collected information.
"Nico Bolas hasn't attacked yet?"
Zuo Si raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Because in his impression, the old dragon should have eagerly launched the War of Sparks after getting all the things.
But now it seems that the other party has become a little too cautious.
Jinji Tasha explained in a low voice: "I think this may be related to the fact that you pretended to be Ugin before and had a head-on conflict with him. And according to the description of Shane VII, Nico Bolas's reaction after getting the Eternal Sacred Sun was very... Plain, obviously aware of something.”
"Didn't Emperor Xia En VII send any more information after he returned?"
Zuo Si touched his chin and asked with interest.
Jinji Tasha shook his head: "No. He said that in order to avoid alerting the enemy, he would not contact us easily again."
"Okay, I think I know what to do. The first thing is to meet Nahiri. Her abilities are very important in the War of the Spark."
After saying that, Zuo Si activated the Planeswalker Spark and disappeared.
In a blink of an eye!
He appeared in the stronghold in the plane of Zendikar and saw the Lithomancer who was in a state of extreme nervousness and anxiety.
"Damn! What are you doing? You've been waiting for me for so long! Do you know what a mess Ravnica is in now?"
After seeing Zuo Si appear, Nahiri immediately rushed forward to investigate.
But Zuo Si smiled indifferently and responded: "I think you should know that I am making final preparations to defeat Nicol Bolas, and there is absolutely no way I can be distracted at all."
"So are you ready now?"
Nahiri squinted her eyes and looked up and down, trying to judge how strong Zuo Si was now through observation.
"Of course!
I'm ready to crush Nicol Bolas' ambitions with my own hands and take his place as the man with the perfect ancient planeswalker spark.
Just like the promise I made to you.
When this is all over, I will give you that spell so that you too can regain the spark of the ancient planeswalker. ”
As he spoke, Zuo Si raised his arm and gently brushed the other party's short silver hair, his tone full of tenderness and sincerity.
"Hmph! It's best this way. If you dare to deceive me or betray me, I swear I will hunt you to the ends of the earth."
A very complicated look appeared on Nahiri's face.
On the one hand, the emotional part of her wanted to believe that this was true, and on the other hand, the rational part kept reminding her of Sorin Markov's betrayal and imprisonment.
This psychological conflict between longing for trust and fearing betrayal has been torturing her spirit.
If Zuo Si really betrayed Nahiri, then this woman would most likely collapse and become a complete madman.
But fortunately, Nahiri did not have time to dwell on the enemy. Instead, she suddenly changed the subject and said: "Ravnica is in complete chaos now, and the Guildpact is falling apart. When do you plan to wait? Take action?”
"Don't worry, I won't make any move until Nicol Bolas's army comes.
Because for any war, the party that takes action first will often fall into passivity.
The side that waits for work and responds flexibly has a high probability of winning the final victory.
What's more, I plan to meet this elder dragon planeswalker in person. ”
Speaking of this, Zuo Si's mouth slightly raised with a wicked smile.
Although he is not yet sure whether he has been exposed by the other party, he can't help but feel excited just thinking about the process of face-to-face communication with the enemy before a war, or even the process of fooling and deceiving him.
It's like people are always inexplicably excited about things that break constraints and taboos.
For example, those tauren warriors who are only interested in other people's wives or girlfriends, or those lunatics who like to race on the highway to speeds of more than 150 or 60 kilometers per hour and may die in a car accident at any time.
"To meet Nicol Bolas? At this time!"
Nahiri was obviously stunned by the audacity of this idea.
But Zuo Si asked nonchalantly: "Why not?
You have to know that I have never been able to get the Elder Spell from him, and now is the best chance.
After all, an elder dragon like him who is accustomed to arrogance will become more easily carried away when he is closer to success.
What's more, I can also bring this old dragon news about the brother he cares about most - the spiritual dragon Wujin. ”
"What! Do you know the whereabouts of Wu Jin?"
Nahiri's eyes widened, obviously not knowing that Ugin was completely cold at this moment.
After all, the meditation state is so special.
Except for his closest confidants, Zuo Si never told anyone else.
This also means that in the eyes of the outside world, Wu Jin is not only not dead, but his whereabouts have become more secretive.
"Yes. Maybe no one else in this world knows about Wu Jin's current situation except me."
Zuo Si said something that couldn't be more true.
But in Nahiri's understanding, this was just Zuo Si expressing that he had a closer relationship with Ugin.
As everyone knows, this sentence is actually the confession of the murderer.
At this moment, Spirit Dragon Wujin has been completely and completely wiped out from body to soul, and will never appear again.
