A scream rang out, then abruptly vanished.
The Confessor mask he wore was corroded through in an instant, followed by his skin, flesh, and even bone.
When he collapsed to the ground, only a headless corpse remained.
The terrifying acid had dissolved his head completely in an instant.
"..."
The Ravager kicked his corpse aside to keep it from getting in the way.
Once the battle was over, it would consume the corpse as a food source to replenish its combat expenditure.
The tiny Overlord watched the scene with sparkling eyes.
The Ravager's acid was more lethal than the acidic saliva spat by Cockroaches. It also had greater range and could even be lobbed in a high arc for curved attacks.
Cockroaches, meanwhile, could only spray acid in a straight line at close range.
However, a Cockroach's advantage was its thick carapace, which could absorb a tremendous amount of firepower.
Ravagers could not do that.
Though they had greater defense than Zerglings, they still could not match a Cockroach's hard shell.
But they could perfectly coordinate with Hydralisks, providing long-range fire support.
A Hydralisk's bone spines were direct-fire weapons.
Ravagers, meanwhile, could launch arcing attacks.
That would be immensely valuable in actual combat.
The Ravager's evolutionary path was worth incorporating into the Swarm.
"What a terrifying evolutionary form."
The Shapeshifter Collective had witnessed the Ravager's battle as well.
If the Endless Swarm had possessed this new species back then, it would have been hard to say what the outcome might have been.
Perhaps during one Endless Swarm, a country would have simply been wiped out.
That was how terrifying the Endless Swarm was.
Just one additional species capable of long-range attacks, backed by numerical superiority, could directly destroy a nation's main force.
After all, it had evolved from the little
