The Epoch Clan gunboats that opened fire revealed their positions and were immediately attacked by equally cloaked Zerg units. Sharp giant claws reached out from the void and viciously struck at the Epoch Clan gunboats.

However, the smooth hulls of the Epoch Clan gunboats offered few places for claws to gain purchase. Even their propulsion systems used concealed anti-gravity technology, with no exposed engines at all.

Likewise, they had no exposed gun barrels. Their weapons were hidden within the hull, making the entire craft resemble a smooth iron box—so slick that Evil Eagle found it difficult to get a hold on them.

Moreover, although Evil Eagle was known as the ruler of the skies, it was ultimately composed of only some primitive genes. Whether in offensive capability or defensive attributes, it lagged several generations behind the Epoch Clan gunboats.

Rowan had anticipated this from the very beginning of the battle, so he had given Evil Eagle a small enhancement by adding a venom sac inside its body.

Poison had been a method that had accompanied Rowan throughout nearly his entire growth, from the days when he had played with mud alongside Ant until now. Even in this current age of interstellar warfare, poison attacks had yet to exit the stage of history.

Thick toxic matter spewed from Evil Eagle's mouth, creating a scene difficult to describe. Unlike the final mutation of the airdropped spore pods, Evil Eagle's toxin was somewhat less potent because it was stored inside a living organism.

However, it had its own unique advantages: it was more viscous, and upon contact with air, it rapidly solidified into a hard substance like amber.

Though the Epoch Clan gunboats were slick and had no obvious external weaknesses, if they were sealed in amber, they would lose most of their
