Chapter 426 Yingqi Orb(1/4)
How to confirm whether a creature is completely Phyrexian?
For most ordinary people, they can basically confirm the situation by observing whether the target's body epidermis has peeled off and whether it is covered with a large amount of metal or inorganic matter.
But this is obviously not rigorous, and it is easy to include those who can still be saved.
In particular, the residents of Mirrodin have the habit of transforming themselves, so it cannot be used as a basis for judgment.
What's more, Shuoyou also has a very special ability similar to "hive mind", which can create spies that can break the opponent's blockade and isolation according to changes in the environment and enemy tactics.
This type of Phyrexian creature looks no different from a real person on the surface, but as long as it is irradiated with X-rays, a large number of densely packed strange structures made of metals and inorganic substances can be found in its body.
Therefore, for the residents of Steel City who are experienced in the struggle, there is a simpler and more direct way to confirm whether a group of refugees who want to come in are completely infected by the shimmering oil and are hopeless.
That is to use a very thin and very long needle to pierce the heart from the chest.
If it is blocked by something hard, it means that its heart has been replaced by a shimmering oil engine, and it is 100% a New Phyrexia spy who wants to sneak in and infect.
In the same way, if a needle is inserted into the heart and there is black glistening oil on the needle tip when it is pulled out, then the person is also hopeless.
Even Mei Li Lai, who can clear the infection of Shuoyou to a certain extent, cannot do anything to prevent the infiltration of Shuoyou into the heart and brain.
As for the dangerous act of inserting a needle into the heart, which may lead to arrhythmia and sudden death, it is nothing at all in the current situation where survival is severely challenged.
After all, no matter what race they are, those who can survive in Mirrodin, a cruel world where most of the area is covered with metal materials, will have much stronger physical fitness than their counterparts or close relatives in other worlds.
Among them, all of them use metal to strengthen their bodies without anesthesia, and they are all "ruthless".
So to them, a penetrating heart injury the size of a needle is nothing at all.
Some crazy tribes will even insert metal tubes into the heart, and then directly use the magic of this world to connect them to the arms or thighs, so that the muscles of the limbs can obtain stronger explosive power when needed.
"Survival of the fittest by natural selection" is a phrase that embodies the cruel natural selection of the fittest. It can be said that it has been embodied to the extreme in Mirrodin time and space.
If a newborn baby is not strong enough, there is a high probability that it will not survive to adulthood, and the mother who gave birth to it will abandon it within a few hours.
Because in this world, getting food is a very dangerous and difficult thing.
No tribe will ever allow the already scarce food to be wasted to feed a waste that cannot fight, hunt, or engage in heavy physical labor.
However, for Zuo Si, it is not very troublesome to confirm whether a creature is "unruined".
Just try to use the power of the big devil to extract the soul and see if the other party reacts.
After all, the biggest feature of Phyrexia's creations is that they have no soul at all.
But when he came to Glisha, Zuo Si was instantly surprised and found that the situation of this Dark Blue Elf was much more complicated than he expected.
First of all, she was indeed infected by Shimo Oil as expected, and the infection was so severe that even the heart, the most important organ in the body, was replaced by Shimo Oil engine, and the blood vessels were completely turned into Shimo Oil pipelines.<
/p>
There isn't a drop of blood inside, it's all black grease.
It can be said that except for those demon judges who stand at the top of their rule, Zuo Si has never seen the internal structure of the New Phyrexia creature that can use shimmering oil so efficiently.
But the interesting thing is that there is some kind of powerful mysterious force that protects Grisha's soul, so that even when more than 90% of her body is completely "completed", her soul still has not completely separated from the body.<
/p>
Of course, this kind of protection is not without limits.
If the infection and transformation progress reach 100%, then she will still become soulless like other advanced Phyrexia creations, and she may even become a member of the Demon Judge.
Secondly, Zuo Si also discovered that there was not one kind of shimmering oil in Grisha's body at this moment, but three or even four kinds.
Among them, the most primitive and the largest one, without asking, you know that it must be the original Phyrexian sparkle oil that seeps out from the heart of the silver golem Karn.
Following closely, there is about 35%, which is composed of the localized "stereobiotic bacteria" that are by-products of the oil.
The third part, which is less than ten percent, is the new shining oil that Ubas quietly sneaked into the innermost core of Mirrodin and secretly put it in for secondary infection.
In addition, the above three kinds of shimmering oils are mixed together and have produced wonderful and incredible changes as they continue to infect each other, forming a fourth unprecedented light silver shimmering oil.
The reason why Glisha fell into a coma and never woke up was because of the "hive mind" of different types of oils competing for dominance.
Her soul did not leave her body because the new oil played a role in absorbing and protecting the soul to a certain extent.
Although Zuo Si still doesn't know the current situation of several demon judges headed by Elenon deep in the earth's core.
But it can be 100% confirmed from Glisha's body that the secondary infection has begun unknowingly.
No wonder New Phyrexia's attack on Mirrodin has been significantly weakening recently.
It turns out that it’s not that the Demon Judges are plotting some conspiracy, but that something is wrong with the Shuoyou, the core of their existence.
It can also be said that the new Shuoyou is slowly replacing the old Shuoyou, taking control of the metal-dominated time and space under our feet.
When the infection is complete, Zuo Si will become a veritable God of Mirrodin like the dead "Father of Phyrexia" Yawgmoth, and also the creator and absolute leader of the New Phyrexia forces.
Dominator.

And Kahn, a special construct created by the ancient planeswalker Urza and said to be composed of Thran civilization heritage, artifacts and super weapons, will also become his property.
In particular, he has been coveting the [Tong Zhao] which can instantly tear apart a planet and even its attached space and time, and is more powerful than the simultaneous explosion of trillions of Tsarist hydrogen bombs.
"Interesting...let me see what is hidden in your body or soul."
Zuo Si ignored the nervous glances of the Dark Bi clan elves around him and calmly put on his clothes, which were woven with Melilai's blood and part of her hair. They were specially used to prevent accidental exposure to old sparkle oil during disassembly and experiments.
The infected special gloves gently tore open Glisa's metal shell that was mixed with red copper and gray colors.
Instantly!
A huge engine completely immersed in black rolling oil was exposed, instantly causing the crowd of onlookers to collectively gasp.
Whether it is the dark green elves who regard this woman as a hero and savior, or those other races who have received her favor, they all can't help but show expressions of sadness, pain and despair.
Although they cannot accept it emotionally, they also know that if a person's body is transformed into this, there is no doubt that it is 100% hopeless.
Several people who were suspected of having been in contact with Grisha couldn't help sobbing and shedding tears.
Zuo Si didn't care at all about the reactions of the ordinary people watching. Instead, he concentrated on constantly using detection magic to search for things he was interested in in this body.
After a while, he took out something that looked like a silver translucent sphere near his lower abdomen, hidden in the deepest part of the mixed structure of flesh and metal.
Although it didn't look too big when it was first taken out, it was just a circle larger than a tennis ball.
But after being exposed to the air, it began to expand rapidly, eventually appearing as a giant sphere with a diameter of one and a half meters.
The outermost layer is like a smooth mercury mirror, which can clearly reflect the shadow of everything around it.
After the volume was fixed, this thing that exuded a dazzling magical aura began to release an invisible force, affecting every creature that saw it.
It is a strong desire to get it!
It’s an irrepressible possessiveness!
Whether it was Zuo Si himself or the originally respectful refugees around him, all without exception had the urge to take possession of this sphere.
Fortunately!
Zuo Si was particularly vigilant about this kind of mental and spiritual influence. He immediately regained consciousness through the protection and divine power he built, and released a powerful spell to shield the energy released by the sphere.
Just a second later, the other affected people also woke up and were trembling uncontrollably.
"What the hell is this?!"
Melilai's face was full of shock and fear.
Zuo Si pursed his lips with undisguised joy, and replied meaningfully: "If I guessed correctly, it should be the famous [Yingqi Pearl].
An artifact that can 100% replicate all magic and creation, and can even instantly double the magic energy in a certain area.
The former manager of Mirrodin, Monaco, who you regard as the tyrant of destruction, was created with this thing.
It possesses unimaginable power, and it is also a treasure that all spellcasters and even planeswalkers desire.
I think the reason why Grisha’s soul has persisted for such a long time is probably due to the [Yingqi Orb].
After the last major incident in Mirrodin, Kahn, the creator of this time and space, transformed Monaqo back into the [Yingqi Orb] and gave it to Grisha and Shiloba for safekeeping.
And there is still an ember of a spark left in the [Yingqi Orb] in front of you."
As one of the most famous artifacts, how amazing is the power of [Yingqi Orb]?
Apart from anything else, the fact that it can directly copy all magic by paying the mana of the corresponding color is enough to prove its value to spellcasters.
Attention!
It’s all magic!
If we take the spellcasting system of Faerun as an example, whether it is arcane magic or divine magic, whether it is level zero to level nine, or legendary magic above that, all can automatically realize "super magic skills - spell twins"
, and other super magic skills can be superimposed on this basis.
Just imagine, when someone else can cast one spell, and you can cast two, what a terrifying and overwhelming advantage this will have in the top spell duel.
Especially those powerful legendary magics, if they were smashed down two times in a row, even the Dragon King with his amazing vitality might not be able to withstand it.
In addition, this copying not only includes spells cast by oneself, but also works on magic items and scrolls.
This also means that after obtaining [Yingqi Orb], and then using spell storage items, Xinbu Spell Sequencer, etc. to release a large number of spells at once to bombard the enemy, the effect will be doubled on the original basis.
