Martians succumb to Earthly bacteria from "summary" of The War of The Worlds by Hg Wells
The Martians, with their advanced technology and superior intellect, were a formidable force to be reckoned with. Their mighty machines wreaked havoc upon humanity, causing fear and destruction wherever they went. But little did they know that their downfall would not come from the weapons of man, but from something far more insidious - tiny, invisible microbes that they had no immunity against.
As the Martians descended upon Earth in their tripods, they were met with little resistance. Our weapons were useless against their impenetrable shields, and it seemed as though nothing could stop them from conquering our world. But as they began to explore our planet, they soon discovered that they were not alone in this new environment.
The very air they breathed, the water they drank, and the soil they walked upon were teeming with microbial life that their bodies were not equipped to handle. In their arrogance, they had overlooked this simple fact, believing themselves to be invincible. But as they fell ill one by one, their bodies ravaged by diseases they could not fight off, they realized the fatal mistake they had made.
The once-mighty Martians, who had traveled across the vast expanse of space to reach our world, were now at the mercy of microscopic organisms that had evolved alongside us for millennia. Their bodies, unaccustomed to the pathogens that were so harmless to us, succumbed to sickness and death, their advanced technology useless against an enemy they could not see.
And so, in a cruel twist of fate, the conquerors became the conquered, their once-mighty empire reduced to nothing more than a memory. The War of the Worlds had come to an end not with a bang, but with a whimper, as the Martians learned the hard way that even the most powerful beings in the universe were not immune to the forces of nature.
