The scattered arrival leaves Lukka in the Hunter Maze with Nissa. He treats a local Phyrexian creature as something his bonding power can command. Wounds and mental changes accumulate while he insists that New Phyrexia is simply another environment he can master.
After the Wanderer's brief appearance, he and Nissa pursue Vorinclex and find Glissa as well. Lukka charges despite Nissa's doubts. His creature merges with him, expanding his body and turning their supposedly separate strengths into one transformed being.
He then advances on Nissa, interpreting her horror as the respect he wanted. The narration's delight is part of the catastrophe, not evidence of a good outcome. His old preference for being the one who deals harm gives compleation a language he is willing to accept.
