To counter the Necrons' attack, the Tyranids also hatched vast numbers of suicide locusts. These locusts crashed into the Canoptek Scarab Swarm, their concentrated corrosive acid consuming large numbers of scarabs and inflicting some damage.
But as long as the living metal had not been completely corroded away, the destroyed scarabs restored themselves with an infusion of energy.
Tyranid units could keep hatching, while Necron units could keep reassembling as long as they had enough energy. It was not just the scarabs that were rebuilding themselves. Even the Necron warships that had been crushed and destroyed were reconstructed by the scarabs.
This battle was unfair. The Tyranid Swarm lost biomass every second, while the Necron forces were reborn without end.
The advantage on the battlefield swung overwhelmingly toward Trazyn's Dynasty fleet. After a period of utterly one-sided fighting, the Tyranid bio-fleet was annihilated, while Trazyn's Dynasty fleet lost only a dozen or so warships.
Had the Tyranids' corrosive acid not completely dissolved some of the living metal needed for reconstruction, Trazyn would not have lost a single warship.
An astonished expression appeared on Afentis's metal face. He looked at Trazyn on the throne and said, "How do you have so much energy? Using it here is far too wasteful! Energy on this scale should be used somewhere more critical!"

"You used a C'tan Shard?" Afentis suddenly realized what Trazyn meant by having ample energy reserves.
"Of course. That is the source of my power. Otherwise, how could a mere Dynasty overlord like me roam back and forth across the Galaxy, gathering 'precious' collectibles?"
"You shouldn't do that. It
