When you pay this cost one or more times, put that many +1/+1 counters on this creature, then create twice that many 2/2 black Zombie creature tokens with decayed. (A creature with decayed can't block. When it attacks, sacrifice it at end of combat.)

After you pay the 2 generic mana black mana cost one or more times, a second ability triggers. Players may respond to the new ability at that point. As that ability resolves, Tainted Adversary gets its counters and the tokens are created.
