Chapter 485: Temptation from New Phyrexia(3/4)
Zuo Si simply revealed this unknown secret.
After all, Urza has been dead for many years, and Karn, the legacy left by the ancient planeswalker, is about to become his property.
"No! No! Since Karn was made from the heart of a Phyrexian, why wasn't he corrupted by infection before?"
Venser seemed to want to grab the last straw and asked loudly in a very excited tone.
Zuo Si sighed slightly and replied: "Because of repairing the time rift.
Do you still remember the price paid by the Time Archmage Teferi and countless ancient planeswalkers to save the entire universe?
All planeswalkers' sparks inevitably deteriorated after this.
Before that, Urza could easily resist the erosion of the Shimmering Oil with his god-like power as an ancient planeswalker.
So at that time, Kahn didn't have to worry about the problem of oil in his heart.
Later, before Urza died, he gave his spark to Karn, so the latter also gained the powerful power of the ancient planeswalker, and even created the ancient silver, the predecessor of Mirrodin Time and Space.
But as the sparks deteriorated and even disappeared, the sparkling oil in Kahn's body eventually overflowed.
This is why he tried every means to return to Mirrodin, and entered the core of the entire time and space to seal himself.
So if you want to save Kahn, save it.
He is no longer the Karn you know, but the father of New Phyrexia, and will soon become the terrifying existence of the second Yawgmoth."
As these words blurted out, Fanser collapsed instantly. He knelt on the ground and covered his face with his hands, as if he could not accept the bad news.
After all, to him, the two most important people in the entire universe are the time mage Teferi and the silver golem Karn.
The former is more like a teacher, while the latter is a close friend.
Of course, the reason Zuo Si said this was to make Venser give up the idea of going to the core of Mirrodin.
Because no one knows Kahn’s current state, not even Elenon, who is by his side all day long.
You must know that in the original timeline, this special silver golem relied on its strong willpower and belief to survive for a long time.
Now, not only does his body contain the heart that carries the original Shining Oil, but he also has new Shining Oil injected into his body.
The two are intertwined, devouring and transforming each other, and God knows what will happen.
In addition, Zuo Si is also very, very interested in the spark inherited from the legendary planeswalker Urza and lost in the time vortex.
He felt that as long as he controlled Kahn and searched for the part about the lost spark from his memory, he could find a way to go to the time rift to retrieve the lost spark.
"No! I don't believe that Kahn will turn into a monster! I'm going to find him deep in the earth!"
Venser suddenly got up from the ground, with an irrational madness in his eyes.
Regarding his overreaction, Zuo Si just shrugged: "It doesn't matter, I won't stop you anyway, but don't expect to get any help from me. Because the situation in the City of Steel is not the same now.
Being optimistic, we don’t have the energy to care about other things.”
But as if Fanser didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, he turned his head and stared at Merila.
"This girl must come with me! Her ability can get rid of the infection of Shimmering Oil, and she will definitely help Kahn."
"No!
You can risk your own life to save your friends, but you can never joke with other people's lives.
Merila is the key to the residents of this Iron City resisting the attack of New Phyrexia, and I will never allow her life to be threatened in the slightest."
Zuo Si unceremoniously rejected Fanser's unreasonable request.
Although in the original plot, this guy and Koth successfully led Merila into the core of Mirrodin, and successfully saved Karn at the expense of himself.
He even made a big fuss in the Demon Judge Council.
But the problem is that the crises encountered along the way cannot be explained clearly in a few words.
In Melilai's current powerless state, any Phyrexian killer who appears can easily send him to hell.
The most important thing is that Zuo Si doesn't know whether the girl's immunity and ability to remove the infection from the shimmering oil will completely disappear with death, and cannot be restored even if she is resurrected using divine magic.
So he can't gamble, and he doesn't dare to gamble.
"Asshole! Don't you have any sympathy?"
Fanser was obviously anxious, and his tone and movements became aggressive.
But the next second...
He found that a big hand with an iron glove had grabbed his neck at lightning speed and lifted his feet off the ground.
The strong sense of suffocation and poor blood circulation suddenly made the planeswalker's face turn red and purple.
But no matter how hard I struggled and how I tried to pry open those iron-like fingers, it was of no avail.
At this moment, Zuo Si's black pupils no longer had any smile or warmth. Instead, they were filled with frightening depth. He issued a final warning in a tone without any emotion: "Don't try to trick Mei Lilai."
, Do you understand? Answer me! Do you understand?"
With these words, the strength of his fingers began to increase, as if he wanted to strangle the other person's fragile neck alive.
You must know that after digesting the power of the evil dragon god Tiamat, all of Zuo Si's basic attributes have increased by five points, and his current strength attribute is a full seventy.
Not to mention the planeswalker in front of me who mainly relies on his brains and skills, even if it is a frost giant or cloud giant, he can still press it to the ground with brute force and rub it repeatedly.
And the strength attribute of 70 points is far from the maximum limit.
As the lord of hell, he can also mobilize energy and use divine power to exert terrifying power far beyond what normal people can understand, such as directly pulling a planet or a plane closer or farther away.
"Damn it! Let go! Venser is going to be strangled to death by you!"
Seeing that Venser had begun to roll his eyes and obviously lost consciousness, Elspeth immediately rushed forward to prevent the tragedy from happening, and threw away several healing cards in one go.
Especially when she saw the terrifying handprints on the former's neck and the nearly shattered spine, she simply couldn't imagine what would have happened if she had been later.
"Don't worry, I'm careful with my actions. He won't die. And even if he dies, I have a way to resurrect him."
Zuo Si curled his lips nonchalantly.
When Kos on the side heard these words, the corners of his mouth immediately twitched uncontrollably.
As a planeswalker who is good at moving boulders and mountains, crushing rock walls, and purifying minerals and metals, he was originally quite confident in his power.
But after seeing the legendary magic [Firestorm] released by Zuo Si, and the terrifying muscle brute force he had unintentionally shown when dealing with Venser just now, he suddenly felt that if there was a real fight, he would be killed in a matter of minutes.
Throw it down.
This is why Venser was almost strangled to death and why Kos didn't help.
He understood that if he took action, it would only worsen the situation, so it was better to wait for Elspei, who had a better relationship with Zuo Si, to come forward.
In addition, he also felt that Venser's move to take Melilai away was a bit too selfish.
After all, without this little girl who can remove the infection from the Shimmering Oil, the refugees in the City of Steel wouldn't be able to hold on for long, and they would be transformed into New Phyrexia's minions under the constant infection.
In this way, what was originally a good planeswalker meeting ended with Venser being choked to death by Zuo Si.
Since there is still a raging rainstorm outside, the City of Steel obviously does not need too many people to guard it in a short period of time.
A small number of guards were left standing guard, and the rest of the refugees, who had been exhausted after fighting for a long time, returned to the square one after another to start cooking food, singing and dancing to celebrate this hard-won victory.
Zuo Si also generously asked the warehouse to bring out some more meat and alcoholic beverages to reward these tenacious Mirrodin residents, which immediately triggered a tsunami of cheers.
However, he himself did not attend the banquet, but returned to the laboratory with several planeswalkers.
According to the old rules, Zuo Si first used his magic to summon a table of heroes' banquet, and then ate and talked with Melilai, Kos and Elspeth.
As for Venser, although he had woken up under the influence of healing magic, he was too embarrassed to come over to eat and drink for free because of the conflict the two had just had. He could only sit aside and watch others eat and smell it by himself.
Keep swallowing the scent.
In the end, the kind-hearted Elspeth couldn't stand it, so she picked up some food and a can of wine and brought them to her.
Fanser said thank you in a very low voice, and then started to stuff it into his mouth hungrily.
You must know that in Mirrodin, Zuo Si is almost the only place where you can eat normal food, and it is also the top-notch Hero's Banquet with its own magical effects.
Even a planeswalker, unless he is willing to use his spark power to travel to other time and space just for a meal, can only go hungry or eat some local specialties with indescribable taste.
Returning to her seat, Elspeth finally couldn't help but ask: "Can't we really go deep into the core of Mirrodin to take a look at Kahn's situation?"

"Do you know what Mirrodin's core has become now?"
Zuo Si picked up an oyster and poured it into his mouth and asked with a sneer.
"I don't know."
Elspei sighed helplessly.
She also understands that this is obviously a bit overwhelming.
After all, the forces of New Phyrexia have already arrived at the doorstep of the City of Steel. As the core of time and space that was the first to be infected, it can be imagined that there must be countless shining oil creations everywhere.
"But the problem is that guarding the City of Steel like this is not an option! Only by getting rid of Karn can we solve the root causes of New Phyrexia and Shimmer Oil's infection."
Kos quickly emptied the pork knuckle in his hand and took a bite out of it with a shiny face.
