After the vine lashes failed once again.
The Star-Bearing Vine began secreting large quantities of tiny, pollen-like particles.
They posed an extreme threat of biochemical contamination to the surrounding space.
Given the Sky Peng Horizontal's level of biochemical defenses,
it was still nowhere near being able to ignore every threat.
But dealing with biochemical contamination around level ten, like that of the Star-Bearing Vine, was well within its capabilities.
And so.

had no other tricks left to use against the ferocious Sky Peng Horizontal!
