91: Chapter 91 Mass Extinction and the Spider Queen of Despair
Su Chen withdrew his will from the ranking monument in the City of Deities and once again enveloped the entire battlefield.
One hundred forty-eighth place; it certainly wasn't enough.
His gaze pierced through the smoke, crossed the scarred land, and fell upon the silent, dormant, and boundless Zerg Swarm, which looked like a black ocean.
It was an absolute silence.
There were no bloodthirsty roars, no manic howls. There was only the waiting—waiting to transform into the most terrifying war machine in the universe under the will of the Overmind.
Now, the waiting was over.
A cold and ruthless divine thought, devoid of any ripples yet containing the absolute will of creation and destruction, was precisely injected into the soul link of every Zerg unit on the battlefield at the exact same moment.
"Biological Extinction tactic, initiate."
The moment the order was given, the dead, black ocean came to life.
Smoke billowed across the battlefield.
The Dark Coalition, which had been arrogant under the divine power of the Corrupt Matriarch Spider, had now completely devolved into a hunting ground ravaged by the Zerg Swarm.
The sky was the first domain to be purified.
"Roar—!"
A roar, mixed with the rumble of metal and the fury of a beast, tore through the dim sky.
The complete form of the Bio-Bone Dragon Theodore finally revealed its true posture as the overlord of the sky to this world. It was no longer a simple Bone Dragon, but a perfect fusion of biology and machinery, the ultimate creation of death and technology.
A deep blue energy glow flowed through every seam of the bones in its massive body, outlining the silhouette of death.
The massive and ferocious psionic energy reactor on its chest was emitting a dull, thunderous roar, like a beating blue sun. Every pulsation distorted the surrounding light.
Behind it, six massive mechanical thrusters ignited suddenly, spewing hundred-meter-long scorching blue ion flames. The terrifying thrust turned its massive body into an afterimage, instantly breaking the sound barrier.
The remaining Gargoyle legions and Bone Dragons let out silent roars. They were the old masters of the sky, attempting to defend their final dignity with their own bones and claws. Fearlessly, they formed a formation and charged toward the blue meteor.
However, in the face of absolute power, courage was meaningless.
Theodore reached the highest point of the battlefield and opened its massive maw, which was large enough to swallow a mountain.
The power of the psionic energy reactor was boosted to its limit in 0.1 seconds!
A [Psionic Particle Breath] covering half the battlefield poured down.
It was not fire, nor was it a beam of light.
It was a pure torrent of disintegration composed of high-dimensional energy.
Wherever the torrent passed, all things fell silent.
The dozens of Bone Dragons charging at the front saw their soul-fire-burning eye sockets suddenly dim the moment they made contact with the psionic particles. Their dragon bones, which were firmer than steel, were erased directly at the level of reality without even turning into dust, decomposing into the most basic atomic particles.
They didn't even have a chance to let out a single wail before being completely evaporated from this world.
The Gargoyle legions following behind met the same fate.
Their swinging stone claws, their flapping bat wings, and their ugly, firm bodies all disappeared silently within that deep blue curtain of light.
One breath cleared the entire airspace.
Air superiority had completely changed hands.
Beneath the sky, the ground had turned into an even bloodier meat grinder.
"For the Overmind!"
"For the bones!"
The roar of the Berserk Rat King Baghdad even drowned out the rumble of the battlefield.
This mutated behemoth, standing over five meters tall, was completely bloodthirsty. Its muscles were knotted, each one containing explosive power. It brandished two massive, keratinous battle axes polished from the leg bones of divine creatures, charging into the most firm Undead Knights phalanx like a mobile war fortress.
"Thud!"
As its first step landed, the earth cracked, and spiderweb-like fissures spread in all directions.
The Undead Knights raised their runic-inscribed bone greatshields, attempting to form a shield wall to resist the monster's charge.
However, Baghdad didn't pay any attention at all.
It simply used the most primitive and savage method, charging straight into them.
Boom—!
The shield wall shattered upon impact.
Dozens of Undead Knights, along with their skeletal warhorses, were sent flying by this irresistible force, scattering into piles of broken bones in mid-air.
Baghdad charged into the formation, swinging its twin axes and creating a whirlwind of death.
Every swing of the axe whipped up a blood-colored storm mixed with bone fragments and soul flames.
Dozens of Undead Knights were cut in half at the waist; their upper bodies were still futilely swinging their longswords, while their lower bodies had already been crushed into powder by the subsequent impact.
Behind it was the true tide.
Tens of thousands of Dragon-Armored Zerglings, their bodies covered in thick carapaces, converged into a black torrent, rolling forward with the steadfastness of a bulldozer.
They climbed onto the skeletal warhorses of the Undead Knights, using their sharp claws and teeth to tear open the gaps in the bones.
They submerged the death infantry who tried to resist, leaving behind only a ground covered in gnawed-clean weapons and armor.
They tore everything that was still moving into pieces.
But neither the purification of the sky nor the slaughter on the ground was the final straw that broke the psychological defense of the Corrupt Matriarch Spider.
What truly plunged her into an endless abyss was that purple figure hovering in the center of the battlefield, who had been standing silently from beginning to end.
Psionic Queen Kerrigan.
She didn't even look at any of the enemies.
She only gently raised her hand, as if conducting a symphony of stars.
With her elegant movement, countless tiny purple electric arcs appeared out of thin air, frantically converging, compressing, and rotating above the heads of the Dark Coalition.
An ominous, soul-trembling energy field quickly took shape.
The pupils of the Corrupt Matriarch Spider's eight eyes shrank to pinpoints at this moment.
She felt it!
It was pure, highest-level spiritual energy targeted at the soul and will!
"Psionic Storm!"
Kerrigan's cold voice rang out in the minds of all high-level units.
Boom!
There was no deafening explosion.
There was only an eerie silence and a purple shockwave that swept across.
The storm descended.
Those spider-human archers with the weakest wills were the first victims.
Their bodies suffered no harm, but their spiritual worlds were completely destroyed in an instant.
Countless spider-human archers suddenly froze in place; the next second, black blood gushed from their eyes, noses, ears, and mouths simultaneously.
They clutched their heads, emitting shrill screams that didn't sound human, rolling and twitching frantically on the ground.
Even worse, in extreme pain and madness, some suddenly turned their arrows around and shot their poisoned arrows at their own companions.
Panic and chaos spread like a Plague.
"No!"
"No! This is impossible!!"
Watching her nest egg, which she had spent hundreds of years of painstaking effort to accumulate, melt away as quickly as snow under a scorching sun in less than half an hour, the Corrupt Matriarch Spider finally let out a shrill, distorted scream.
The aftermath of that Psionic Storm also swept across her divine body.
Her soul felt as if it were being pierced by billions of red-hot steel needles simultaneously. Under the intense pain, fine cracks began to appear on the surface of her massive divine body.
Divine power was continuously dissipating from the cracks.
"Lich King! Save me!!"
Seeing that the situation was lost and her last hope had been completely crushed, the Corrupt Matriarch Spider was finally forced to crush a black divine rune hidden in the core of her divine body, amidst endless fear and despair.
That was her only connection to the true god behind the scenes, and also her final trump card.
But she knew in her heart.
The Zerg had already locked in the victory for this war.
