89: Chapter 89: The Nightmare of the Corrupted Mother Spider and the Beginning of Total War
At the border of the Divine Realm, an extremely sharp psionic energy alarm tore through the silence.
It was not a sound, but a piercing buzz that pierced directly through the soul, instantly exploding in the depths of every Zerg unit's will.
In Su Chen's purple-gold pupils, the vision of flowing galaxies instantly froze.
His gaze pierced through the crystal wall of the Divine Realm, landing on the approaching black cloud exuding the aura of decay and Plague.
"Master! The enemy is fifty kilometers away from contact!"
An anxious divine thought came from the highlands.
Ratman Warlord Baghdad, now evolved into the even more burly and ferocious "Berserk Rat King," stood at the peak of a hill covered in creep.
His huge compound eyes flashed with crimson data streams, locking onto the filthy shadow at the end of the skyline.
His voice came through the mental link, carrying a hint of bloodthirsty excitement, as well as the instinctive tension of facing an unknown powerful enemy.
"High-energy reaction detected... seven Legendary Rank units!"
"Including four Bone Dragons and three high-ranking Arachnid Matriarchs!"
The cold data stream was synchronized in Su Chen's consciousness.
Four Bone Dragons? Three Arachnid Matriarchs?
The corners of Su Chen's lips silently curled into a grim and cold arc.
If this lineup had appeared a few minutes ago, it would have been enough to force him to exhaust all his trump cards and even pay a painful price to barely resist.
But now? The times have changed.
"Kerrigan."
Su Chen's divine thought coldly tore through the sky, precisely branding itself into the depths of every hero unit's soul.
"Those Arachnid Matriarchs are yours. Their brains are quite good, just right to be used as raw material for 'Infestors'."
"Theodore, those four Bone Dragons are your rations. Don't leave any for me."
"Lumina, apply light energy shields to the entire army!"
"Andra, where are your missiles? Carpet bomb them for me!"
Each command, without the slightest emotional fluctuation, contained an unquestionable, absolute will.
"As you command! Master!"
In the next instant, the fanatical response from tens of thousands of Zerg units gathered into a heaven-shaking mental torrent, roaring within the Divine Realm.
The Divine War was on the verge of breaking out.
The Corrupt Matriarch Spider was sitting lazily on her divine chariot.
It was a floating throne made of countless twisted bones and flesh tissues, carried by hundreds of low-level Dark Elf spider-hybrids moving their limbs, carrying it forward in the black clouds.
In her eight crimson eyes, the distant, vibrant Divine Realm was reflected, revealing greed and disdain.
She had even begun to fantasize about capturing the legendary Biochemical Bone Dragon and transforming it into her most powerful and perfect offspring.
"Little ones! Charge in!"
She let out a sharp hiss, and her mental fluctuations spread to the entire coalition army.
"Tear that false god to pieces! Leave that Bone Dragon alive for me!"
However, in the next second, the smug, human-like smile on her face completely froze.
The dream was shattered.
Swish, swish, swish—!
The sky of the Divine Realm lit up with countless silver stars without warning.
The moment those stars appeared, they rapidly enlarged, turning into streaks of death trailing long tail flames, locking onto her Undead vanguard legion at a speed impossible to track with the naked eye.
That was the Silver Wing Legion led by Andra.
Thousands of [Bio-Tracking Missiles]!
"Boom!"
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"
The first missile landed, followed by hundreds upon thousands more.
The extremely violent explosion instantly swallowed the Undead Knights charging at the very front.
The blinding light and destructive shockwaves formed a curtain of death that kept moving forward.
Those bone-spike warheads, blessed by divine power and possessing the "sure-hit" attribute, ignored all physical blocks and drilled accurately into the hollow eye sockets of every Undead Knight.
Then, they detonated.
Clusters of ghostly blue soul fire were forcibly ignited in the torrent of explosions, only to be completely torn apart and annihilated in the next instant.
In just one encounter, the vanguard troops that the Corrupt Matriarch Spider was proud of were completely erased from the battle line.
Immediately after, the ground trembled violently.
Tens of thousands of newly hatched [Dragon-Armored Zergling]s, their bodies covered in a thin layer of golden light energy shields blessed by Lumina, turned into a surging dark red torrent, crashing head-on into the subsequent enemy formation.
The Dark Elf troops' lines were instantly crushed.
Their proud, poison-coated enchanted arrows, when shot at the Dragon-Armored Zerglings, could only splash weak sparks, unable to even penetrate the outermost light energy shield, let alone that indestructible dragon-scale-like carapace.
"This..."
"What kind of defense is this?!"
The Corrupt Matriarch Spider stood up in horror from her throne of flesh, her eight eyes filled with unbelievable shock.
But this was not the most desperate part.
A huge shadow shrouded the sky of the battlefield.
Theodore's mechanical dragon body, as huge as a mountain, descended.
It didn't make any extra moves; it just opened its giant mouth filled with psionic energy pipelines.
"Hum—"
A thick, ghostly blue breath erupted, instantly hitting a Bone Dragon that was roaring and charging up.
There was no explosion, no roar.
That Legendary Rank Bone Dragon, nearly half of its body, along with its hard dragon bones and the death divine power attached to it, was directly vaporized and decomposed in that dragon breath, disappearing completely from the material level.
Before the other Bone Dragons could react to the miserable state of their companion, Theodore's other giant mechanical dragon claw had already reached out.
That dragon claw tore through the air, emitting a piercing sonic boom, and slammed another Bone Dragon firmly onto the ground.
"Boom!"
The ground collapsed, and rocks shattered.
The once arrogant Legendary Bone Dragon was now struggling crazily under Theodore's claws, its hard bones emitting tooth-aching cracking sounds, but it couldn't shake off that iron imprisonment at all.
Theodore just lowered its head, looking down at the "ration" under its claws with those cold electronic eyes, and began its cruel "feeding."
And in the center of the battlefield, another slaughter was unfolding.
In the endless slaughter, Andra felt the power surging within him and fell into extreme excitement.
The power bestowed by the Master!
The glory of the Master!
"Roar! For the Master!"
He let out a fanatical roar in the high sky, his silver wings suddenly flapping, and his whole body instantly broke the sound barrier, completing an incredible supersonic maneuver in the eyes of mortals, pulling out a long white sonic cone.
Just as he brushed past a Legendary Rank Arachnid Matriarch, he flicked his arm.
A bone spike, concentrated to the extreme, flew out of his hand.
That Arachnid Matriarch didn't even have time to react, only feeling a flash of white light before her eyes.
The next moment, her huge spider head exploded with a boom.
Green fluid and shattered brain tissue exploded into a blood mist in the air.
[Ding! Congratulations Master! Your Saint 'Andra' has had an epiphany in battle, broken through on the spot, and promoted to: Legendary Rank (Eighth Order)!]
The system's notification sound rang in Su Chen's mind.
Su Chen smiled.
It was a cold smile of controlling everything.
"With Legendary Ranks piled up like this, how could I lose this battle?"
