Chapter 976 Nicol Bolas, you don’t understand people’s hearts
“You losers think you can defeat me by joining forces? How ridiculous!”
Nico Bolas Si apparently scorned Teferi's invitation to Zuosi to form an alliance.
In his opinion, the incarnation of Shuoyou is only one step away from being destroyed by him, and the rest are just mortal ants and cannot pose even the slightest threat.
Yes, this is the absolute confidence possessed by the strongest Elder Dragon Planeswalker, and it is also the pride engraved in his bones.
Even though he was injured at this moment, even if his boat capsized in the ditch, his unbridled arrogance still hasn't changed at all.
If there was any original sin in Nicol Bolas, it was pride.
"Even if there are too many ants, they can kill an elephant, not to mention that we are not ants."
The time mage Teferi chose to stand up at the critical moment and face this powerful and powerful man. A terrible enemy.
Because he is the oldest, oldest and most famous ancient planeswalker present, and is respected by the entire planeswalker group because he successfully repaired the time rift.
If he didn't stand up at this time, everyone would be intimidated by Nicol Bolas's power.
"Hmph! Then let me see what you ants can do."
Nicol Bolas sneered and activated a large number of planeswalker cards.
In just a short moment, thousands of densely packed summoned creatures instantly appeared in this place just one step away from the time rift.
Many of them even screamed under the erosion of the energy and primitive matter of the dark void as soon as they appeared, and were then torn into pieces alive.
But soon, following an unknown spell, these summoned creatures were protected by a huge barrier.
"Go! Kill them all!"
Nico Bolas gave the order to attack directly.
In an instant!
These summoned creatures, composed of huge dragons, dragons, behemoths, demons, humans, undead, etc., flocked towards the time mage Teferi and the team behind him.
"Get ready to fight!"
Gideon Yura took the lead in drawing out his weapon and shouting to remind everyone, and then rushed forward.
With the terrifying recovery ability like an immortal body, he jumped directly onto the back of a giant beast, then wildly waved the weapon in his hand to tear off the target's hard scales, trying to kill the giant beast. Kill the beast before it can cause more damage.
Unfortunately, the size of this giant beast is so huge and its vitality is so tenacious that even after cutting it for a long time, no important organs were seen.
On the contrary, the injury and severe pain aroused the ferocity of the giant beast, and its blood began to heat up rapidly to a temperature comparable to that of magma.
In just a few seconds, Gideon Yura was severely burned, and even the magic armor on his body became hot and red under the high temperature.
At the same time, others in the team also began to struggle with these summoned creatures.
Although in the battle with New Phyrexia just now, these summoned creatures were not even qualified to be cannon fodder, but this does not mean that they are weak.
It’s just that Nicol Bolas himself and the senior demon judges under Zuo Si are too strong.
In fact, for most ordinary planeswalkers, it is definitely not easy to deal with these super giant summoned creatures with various abilities and terrifying vitality.
This is like the most famous Balor Balrog in the Abyss.
Although in the eyes of the top legendary mages such as Witch Queen Iggwilf, Mad Mage Halaster Black Robe, and Red Robe Necromancer Chief Sazastan, they can just come and go at a moment's notice. Senior cannon fodder.
But it is a very terrifying enemy for most ordinary spell casters and even high-level spell casters.
Looking at this group of mortals who were confused by the creatures he summoned, Nico Bolas showed a contemptuous smile: "What a bunch of ants who overestimate their capabilities! You didn't even ask me to take action personally. Not even qualified!"
Speaking of this, the elder dragon suddenly paused, looked at the incarnation of Shuoyou with meaningful eyes and mocked: "Don't you really think they can help you? Right? ”
"Who knows. There's no harm in trying, right?"
Zuo Si spread his hands as if he didn't care.
Just when Nicol Bolas was about to say something, a familiar figure suddenly appeared out of thin air. It was Tezzeret who had disappeared for a while and ran to nowhere.
This genius artifact master somehow obtained some special magical metals from New Phyrexia and made huge modifications to his body.
Especially the energy pipes directly connected to the brain, which are obviously disassembled from some advanced creation, and the divine power from Mirrodin time and space flows inside.
Even the two eyes were emitting a crimson light for some unknown reason, looking very eerie.
“Where have you been?”
Seeing this stupid subordinate who made countless famous mistakes from beginning to end, Nicol Bolas immediately showed a disgusted expression and asked. .
“Of course, to collect interesting parts of those New Phyrexia creations.
I have to say that compared to the last time they left Mirrodin, their evolution The speed really surprised me.
Look at these never-before-seen substances and the amazing energy contained in the bodies of every advanced individual.
To a large extent, they are comparable to the gods of many time and space.
If it weren’t for the help of the Eternal Legion and the Eternal Evil God, it would not be so easy for me to defeat them and collect some interesting materials. "
Speaking, Tezzeret raised his hand, which was completely mechanized, and made a fist.
In a blink of an eye!
Astonishing divine power began to flow within his body, and then formed a violent impact that could not be described in words.
Boom! ! ! ! ! ! !
Just this slight grip caused a terrifying shock wave.
“You transplanted the body structures of those New Phyrexia creations into your own body?!”
Nicol Bolas’s face suddenly changed, and his eyes were filled with It's like looking at an idiot and madman.
Who the hell gave you the courage to do this?
Do you know what the title New Phyrexia means?
The old dragon had already scolded Tezzeret in his heart for being a human being.
If others still lack the basic understanding of Shuoyou after ascending to the dimension, then he, who has already fought against high-level demon judges, is definitely the one who knows the dangers of this kind of power best.
Tezzeret's behavior can no longer be described simply as death. It is simply like jumping over the tower and killing someone.
"Is there any problem?"
The genius artifact master was stunned for a moment, obviously confused as to why Nico Bolas was angry.
"Haha, no, there's no problem, you did a good job."
Zuo Si couldn't help laughing.
Although he had known for a long time that Tezzeret was a guy who failed in many ways, he never expected that he would be so stupid.
The other party actually naively thought that it would be fine if the material form that could be seen with the naked eye was completely removed.
Perhaps this is indeed a good way to deal with old oil.
But today's new oil is power, a manifestation of the power of rules.
Especially the bodies of New Phyrexia's creations have long been penetrated by the power of shimmering oil that cannot be distinguished by the naked eye. This is true for every part, every atom and even smaller elementary particles.
So Tezzeret's modified body is now equivalent to a New Phyrexia creation.
It only takes one command to awaken, and the opponent will be instantly completed and become a member of New Phyrexia.
No hesitation!
Zuo Si accepted this gift from the sky without any ceremony.
Before Tezzeret could react to what was happening, the power from Mirrodin time and space directly completed his spirit, will, and soul.
The speed was so fast that even he himself did not notice the change, just the light in the electronic eye flickered violently.
The next second...
Tezzeret suddenly turned around and launched a surprise attack on Nicol Bolas, who was close at hand.
I saw that the huge spark on his chest, which was the source of energy for the mechanical body, suddenly released terrifying energy and crashed directly into the old dragon's chest.
But unfortunately, Nicol Bolas had obviously expected this. He raised his hand and released a counter-spell, immediately held up a barrier, and cursed angrily: "What a What a hopeless idiot! If I had known this was going to happen, I should have done it before entering Ravnica. I’ll deal with you first.”
“Look, it’s because of this attitude that your people are always in a state of betrayal or about to betray. Admit it. I don’t know how to control it at all, let alone what true governance is.”
Zuo Si continued to stimulate the other party's most sensitive nerve.
"Don't be so self-righteous. Without Shimmering Oil, do you think you can control such a huge force? After you die, New Phyrexia will be like the old Phyrexia that lost Yawgmoth. Xia turned into a ball of sand."
Nicol Bolas retorted without showing any signs of weakness.
After all, in terms of being a tough talker, he is not inferior to the Lord of Humanity in the Warhammer Universe.
"I don't think so. First of all, you can't kill me, and secondly, I am fundamentally different from you..."
Just when Zuo Si finished speaking the last word, several violent spatial fluctuations suddenly appeared out of thin air. Immediately afterwards, Shane VII, Little Annie, Loki, Liliana and the three immortal evil gods appeared out of thin air in the open space only one step away from the center of the battlefield.
Since they were all nominally Lao Long’s subordinates, Nico Bolas, who thought he finally had a helper, suddenly showed a proud smile: “Who told you about my subordinates? Only betrayal? Look, doesn’t this mean he is willing to be loyal? For my people?"
"I'm very sorry, great Dragon Lord. We encountered a small obstacle, so we were late."
Xia En VII. He bowed in front of his chest and took the lead in showing off his stance and attitude.
"It doesn't matter, I can understand how difficult the enemies you encounter are."
Nicol Bolas waved his hand very generously.
As the saying goes, people will die when comparing others, and goods will be thrown away when comparing goods.
After seeing a rubbish like Tezzeret, how does he now like Shane VII, a subordinate who has brains, strength, and makes him worry-free?
At least the tasks I gave to Xia En VII were basically executed perfectly, and there were never any big mistakes.
"Thank you very much. Now please allow me to control the Immortal Evil God to join the battle and clear the final obstacle for you."
As he said that, Shane VII injected his huge necromantic magic power into one of the Immortal Evil Gods. God's body.
In less than two or three seconds, the weapon in the latter's hand began to glow with gray-white terrifying energy that symbolized death.
This extremely "loyal" behavior undoubtedly made Nicol Bolas very satisfied, and he immediately cast a provocative look at the avatar of Shimmering Oil.
But before he could be proud for long, the Eternal Evil God slowly drifted from behind to his side and suddenly changed direction and directly inserted the weapon containing the power of death into his body.
puff!
Because he did not expect this sudden back stab, the sword instantly penetrated the left rib.
If it weren’t for the other protective spells at work on his body, this blow might have directly pierced the heart and ended his life.
“Asshole! What are you doing?”
Nicol Bolas instantly grabbed the artifact pierced into his body and pulled it out, with a monstrous look in his eyes. of anger.
"What to do? Of course I want to kill you. After all, this has been my goal from the beginning."
While speaking, Xia En VII suddenly appeared and stood next to the incarnation of Shuoyou, with a look on his face. With a smile full of teasing and contempt, his eyes seemed to be laughing at the other person's stupidity.
“Are you a spy?!”
Nico Bolas was arrogant but not stupid, and he immediately realized that he had been deceived.
Xia En VII nodded without thinking: "That's right. In fact, I took the initiative to offer the time and space bridge in order to win your trust. It's a pity that the sword just now was crooked, otherwise you would now It should be a corpse already. In my eyes, there is not much difference between you and Tezzeret.”
"Ahhhhh!!! I'm going to kill you! Tear you apart! Dig out your soul and torture it for ten thousand years!"
Put yourself together with a fool like Tezzeret, It undoubtedly allowed Nicol Bolas to completely break his defense.
Just when he was furious and took control of the Immortal Evil God and planned to fight back, the other two Immortal Evil Gods suddenly launched a surprise attack from the left and right sides at lightning speed.
But this time, Nicol Bolas was obviously prepared in advance. He immediately used his claws to block the weapon of one of the immortal evil gods. At the same time, he raised his tail and whipped the other one away, and then turned around. Staring at the Necromancer fiercely: "Lilliana Weiss! Even you You dare to betray me? Have you forgotten the contract? Your soul is still in my hands!"
"I'm sorry, please check the contents of the contract again. My soul is no longer yours.”
Liliana raised her chin slightly, assuming a proud posture, and casually stood next to the oil incarnation of Zuo Sishuo like Shane VII.
“What?!”
Nicol Bolas was slightly stunned for a moment, then took out the contract and took a look at it, and suddenly found that one of them should have been dead long ago. The devil unexpectedly resurrected again.
“Tsk, look what I just said?
Dear Nicol Bolas, you don’t understand the human heart at all, let alone human nature.
Everything you have is built on the back of absolute power.
Once you lose your strongest power, you will have nothing. ”
Zuo Si’s eyes revealed a creepy depth, and his voice revealed condescending banter and playfulness.
It was as if it was not him who was about to be beaten to death, but It is the elder dragon who has an overwhelming advantage.
It must be said that being betrayed by two important subordinates in succession has undoubtedly shaken Nicol Bolas' strong confidence.
Especially the demon who was killed by Liliana in the contract suddenly resurrected for no reason, and there was a terrible conspiracy behind it.
After all, there is no such thing as a coincidence.
Shane VII was undercover by his side again, and the Necromancer Liliana suddenly broke free from her restraints, directly causing the Eternal Legion and the Eternal Evil God to lose their two most important commanders.
"Are you going to betray me too?"
Nicol Bolas narrowed his eyes and turned to the last little Annie and Loki.
At this moment, he obviously no longer trusts anyone, let alone these two who were recruited through threats and intimidation.
"How could it be? We are loyal to you, great Dragon Lord. After all, you have swallowed up so many sparks, and you will soon stand at the top and become the God of Planeswalkers. Being able to follow in your footsteps is It's our honor."
Loki hurriedly took two steps forward, put one hand on his chest and bowed respectfully. His attitude of humility and respect was mixed with fanatical admiration, just like a fan meeting with a brainless person. Come to your idol.
"Oh? Really?"
Nicol Bolas's suspicious character undoubtedly gained the upper hand, and he slowly lowered his head to examine this humble ant.
Yes, in his eyes, even the God of Lies and Deception is just an insignificant figure, and he is also a bonus to recruit little Annie.
But it is undeniable that Loki's reaction gave him a little comfort after just experiencing two betrayals.
After all, even if there is one person who is willing to be loyal, it proves that the words of Shuoyou's incarnation that do not understand people's hearts and humanity are wrong.
"Of course it's true! If you don't believe it, you can dig out my heart and see."
As he said that, Loki tore and took off his clothes. Revealing her generous and wealthy chest, her eyes revealed infinite sincerity.
Nicol Bolas raised his paw and inserted his fingertips bit by bit without mercy. At the same time, he observed the changes in the "woman's" expression, as if she was really going to dig out her heart.
But Loki, who had always cherished his life, did not waver at all, as if he had given up everything and accepted his impending death calmly.
But just when the front end of the dragon claw was about to pierce his heart, he suddenly stopped, and slowly pulled out his finger and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good! You passed my test, so I now believe you are loyal. Don't worry, wait. After you deal with these enemies, I will give you the rewards you deserve."
"This is my honor, great Dragon Lord."
The whole person of Loki succeeded in gambling. Relax and sit on the ground like a puddle of soft mud.
Obviously, this is not an act, but the most real physiological reaction after walking on the verge of death.
But at the same time, she also knew that she had won the bet.
However, Nicol Bolas ignored Loki and instead turned his attention to little Annie, who had never expressed her stance: "Little guy, it's your turn now. Are you willing to continue to be loyal to me? ?”
“Me?”
The girl pointed to her nose and blinked in an innocent manner.
"That's right! If you refuse, I will strip your spark right now and kill you with my own hands."
After that, Nicol Bolas began to chant the elder's spell.
In less than three to five seconds, all the planeswalkers around who still had sparks felt that the sparks were becoming more and more out of their control, and some even broke free and flew out of their chests. Turn into groups of light.
"No! You can't even think of taking away my spark!"
Old Long's move undoubtedly touched little Annie's bottom line, causing the originally moody little ancestor to explode on the spot, raising his head. The hand is an overwhelming array of divine-like spells, as well as a terrifying storm that also contains the ultimate chaotic power from the dark void.
"You asked for it yourself!"
Seeing little Annie attacking him, Nico Bolas suddenly showed his fierce look and turned into an afterimage and rushed over, intending to cooperate with the elder's spell to remove the girl's spark from the Dig it out of the body.
What he never expected in his dreams was that just as he rushed closer, a sharp sword exuding darkness and nothingness suddenly appeared out of thin air and stabbed him at a very tricky angle. come over.
“It’s you?!”
When Old Long saw clearly who the attacker was, his face was filled with shock and astonishment.
You don't need to ask to know that the one launching the surprise attack at this moment is Graia, the Prince of Darkness who has been hiding in the dark and has been planning for a long time.
Although the two siblings have deep grudges, he will never sit back and let outsiders kill his sister because his family is the most important thing.
What's more, Zuo Si, as a father, is still watching.
Of course, in the eyes of Nicol Bolas, these two young people should be the least likely to get together.
Unfortunately, the Prince of Darkness Graya, who never likes to talk nonsense, is obviously too lazy to explain anything. He just keeps using the power of the goddess of the night, Shar, to fight with the opponent, and at the same time releases the spark characteristic to try to permanently erase this Part of the body of an old dragon.
After a few rounds of fighting, Nicol Bolas noticed something was wrong.
Because part of the wing membrane on his wings has mysteriously disappeared out of thin air, and no matter what treatment method is used, it will not help.
This discovery made him immediately vigilant.
If Little Annie's chaotic magic is just a little trouble for this old dragon, then the void power of Dark Prince Graya is a real threat.
Although this ability is far from fatal at present, God knows whether it will become stronger and stronger in the future.
