433 The final campaign, the final collision! (1/2)
After evolving, a Defiler could produce and spray out massive networks of corrosive blood spores, which could swiftly decay and extinguish all matter. Also known as ‘Blood Plague’, this ability was the same against any opponent; be it building structures or armies, it would equally deal hefty damages. No matter allied or foe, all will be affected.
Once the decaying process began, the plague would deliver damage over time to any affected unit; until it finishes!
Although that Defiler was instantly killed, amongst the densest congregated mass of aerial forces, many creatures had started flapping their wings frantically and releasing horrifying anguished wails. It was obvious, they had been contaminated by the plague of spores; the decaying seeping into their flesh and vitality.
Yet presently, the Blackthorn tribe had since expanded to a relatively large territory, and it was simply impossible for their entire base to be under the protection of the Defiler’s ‘Dark Swarm’ ability. Moreover, the physical aerial creatures of planet Pandora were extremely numerous, and the skies of the battlefield were starting to be filled with large battalions of aerial beasts. Not only were there Mountain Banshees, there were even several peculiar and unknown creatures; each incredibly menacing and deadly.
Against its rival’s offensive might, the Blackthorn Overmind hastily commanded his response.
《 Attack!! 》
《 They wish to compete in aerial dominance! 》
《 Then your area of expertise will be your downfall!! 》
Epic multitudes of Mutalisks and Scourges had been spawned out, as the Scourges demonstrated insanely frightening kamikaze area destruction! As for the Mutalisks, their intense shooting also dealt extremely compelling restraint onto the enemy’s concentrated formation. In addition to the Defiler’s ‘Blood Plague’ continually sapping away the opponent's life force, the Queen-zerg’s enormous green web was also substantially lowering the flight velocity of her foes……...allowing the Mutalisks and Scourges to unleash shockingly devastating results.
Massive corpses were now falling randomly from the skies, as their blood and flesh subsequently consumed by the ‘Creep’ carpet. Mournful shrieks pierced through the entire battlefield, seemingly causing the ears of the humans to split open! Gripping their hearts even more, the beast tide was about to occupy all round superiority; however, the Blackthorn tribe started delegating immense crowds of arachnid drones, as they proceeded to blatantly build thick crowds of Spore Colonies over the ‘Creep’ carpet!!
Even though incubating such powerful battle organs required a definite duration, and despite its relatively frail state while incubating, it was nonetheless, a cheap manufacturing expenditure (doesn’t require Vespene gas). This retaliation immediately plunged Eywa into a dilemma.
–Either continue routing the enemy’s aerial fleets with concentrated spurts of energy!
–Or segregate her troops to squash those currently incubating Spore Colonies!
The earlier option was a gamble. Gambling on the possibility of condemning her enemy’s aerial fleet to crumble entirely, before those Spore Colonies could finish incubating. The latter option was on the contrary, a dependable method. However, it would allow a breathing space for the arachnid aerial fleet, the fleet that was already approaching imminent crisis!
The defense line of the arachnids seem to depict an impression of collapsing at any second, but it just wouldn’t collapse! Their fortified tenacity could even caused one to vaguely sense a hidden card up its sleeves!
In the end, Mother Nature Eywa decided to seek stability, and spared none of the incubating Spore Colonies; attempting to completely abolish them. However, during this period, the arachnid’s mutalisks and scourges weren’t idling. They dished out exceptionally tremendous damages to the distracted beast horde, that were focusing on the Spore Colonies. Thus, both parties very unfortunately fell into a war of attrition once again.
In lieu of such a scenario, Mother Nature Eywa held no more reservations; immediately opting for reinforcements! Within the unprecedented intensity of massacre, from afar in the skies; an astronomical shadow interweaved with stunning yellow, red and black stripes appeared.
A wave of unparalleled power and oppression surged in!
It was as though the skies had lowered, bequeathing itself to cover all earth; causing all to feel great repression in their hearts!
The hegemony of Pandora had finally descended.
“I’m afraid this will be the last battle.” Sheyan muttered. “After this round, if the Blackthorn tribe can stand firm, then Mother Nature Eywa would probably consider compromising. Besides, her instincts pertain to upholding the balance of nature, and not speed up its extinction.”
Three monumental Great Leonopteryx displayed their tremendous wingspan, gliding in slowly from a distant place. Despite being about to launch a blood war, they didn’t discard their graceful and unhurried demeanor; resembling monarchs patrolling to uphold their own territories.
Though Sheyan and buddies had since witnessed personally its renowned true identity and even touched it in close proximity……...yet, how could an air-dried, mummy skull even compare to the true body of an existing soul, an unrivalled tyrant?
After Mother Nature Eywa had mobilized her ultimate trump card, she further bestowed blessings without the least of stinginess! Primarily, their HP had estimatedly been enhanced by over a million, and secondly, they were completely immune to negative buffs!
The Defiler’s ‘Bloodied Clouds and Mist’ – ineffective!
