Chapter 1792: The Strongest Mother

(A Few Minutes Ago…)
BOOOM!
An explosion of flames engulfed Nepheline, triggered by hundreds of punches that pummeled her body, hurling her into the depths of the nest and shattering the volcanic stone in her path.
“KRIEEHEHEHE!”
The mocking laughter of a powerful Giant Blazing Ant Hero echoed through the nest as the massive, muscular monster strode toward where Nepheline had been blasted.
“That was way too EASY! Is this what a human hero could do?! I CAN’T BELIEVE IT! KIEHEHEHEHE!”
The towering, four-armed Blazing Ant Hero, immensely muscular and powerful, advanced toward Nepheline’s position. His colossal body, over ten meters tall, radiated a blazing aura.
He had caught Nepheline off guard, charging at her with a devastating barrage of explosive blows targeting her pressure points, culminating in an eruption of divine flames.
In the ant’s mind, one thing was clear: Nepheline was most likely dead or on the verge of death.
“Now, let me see your corpse. I shall bring your head back to mo—”
In that moment, the ant’s eyes widened as a massive, metallic fist reached his face.
BOOOM!
Half of his face was blown away instantly, blood, brains, and nerves splattering everywhere, as agony consumed his entire body.
“Gryyyaaaacccck!”
He screamed in horror and pain, falling to the floor while looking at the origin of that punch. A giantess, overflowing with immense quantities of Ki and Mana, stepped forward.
Her body, encompassed by a silver hue of metallic sheen, walked toward him, glaring at him with pity in her eyes, now golden.
Her body? Unscathed.
Her long black hair had become shiny silver, waving with the intensity of her own aura, which created shockwaves around her.
Her eyes were now completely golden, and the rest of her body was covered in pristine armor, adorned with bright crystals and diamonds of various colors.
It was as if she had transformed completely, becoming a goddess made of various metals and crystals.
“W-Wha…?! How…?! Uugggh! My face…! How did you…?!”
The ant glared at her with fury, unable to believe what just happened… And Nepheline smiled confidently, crossing her arms.
“I admit your attack caught me off guard. You’re pretty strong. How about you make this fun and struggle?” she asked with a smile. “I could have killed you right there, but I’m going to give you a chance to show me that there’s more to you.”
“W-What?! I am not your damn TOY!”
With a furious roar, the ant quickly stood up. His wound healed rapidly, yes, half of his face instantly repaired itself as golden flames covered it.
Nepheline gave a single glance to the Saintess behind them all, a young Ant Queen given the power of a Saint by her mother, an ascended spirit goddess.
“Maybe I didn’t hit you hard enough back then, but that’s about to CHANGE!”
RUMBLE!
With a single step, the ground beneath the ant exploded into pieces. He reached Nepheline in an instant, his six massive fists aiming at her body.
“Heh.”
Nepheline smiled, closing her eyes, as she stood there with her arms crossed.
RUMBLE!
As all fists reached her, blazing with explosive flames, her aura erupted, transforming into a giantess made of stone and metal.
“{Spiritual Aura Guardian Manifestation}: {Hundred-Armed Stone Asura: Adamas}!”
And then, as she opened her eyes, her aura swung its fists forward, hundreds of them at once, catching her foe’s blazing punches one by one.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
“GRUUAAGGH?!”
To the shock of the ant, all four of his fists exploded. Yes, his fists were torn to shreds as he received more punches than he could ever handle, the immense pressure generated by all of them at once overwhelming him.
“{Titan’s Fist}”
Nepheline finally moved, swinging her right arm toward the ant. Her aura stacked all of its arms into her own arm, making it resemble the fist of a titan made of stone.
BAAAMMM!!!
And with all her strength, she punched the ant’s chest, sending him flying like a bullet through the stone, blowing through several volcanic stone walls, ultimately crashing into the walls, splattering blood and innards everywhere.
“A-Aaah…! G-Graaccck…! H-How…?! I am…! A hero…!”
Vomiting green blood, the ant stared at his chest. A massive hole had caved through it, his heart and lungs gone. He clung to life only due to his incredible insectoid physique.
After all, most insects can survive for hours without a head or vital organs due to their physiology. This resilience, combined with his giant, powerful body, granted exceptional durability.
Yet, without proper magic, he would still perish… which is why the Saintess of the Blazing Ants was present. With a mere thought, golden flames enveloped the ant, slowly mending the hole in his chest.
“You’ve got an amazing sister, truth be told. She’s healing you and all, huh? Aren’t you happy to have her?”
Nepheline’s voice echoed through the smoke clouds around the ant. His eyes widened. If he could sweat, he would definitely be sweating bullets right now out of the utter horror he felt.
“Come on, you haven’t even pushed me to get serious yet… The kids are having their moment, so I’d rather not interrupt them. You know how it is: if you don’t face life-or-death situations, you never grow, right? So, please grow a little, break your limits, you can do it.”
Nepheline patted the ant’s shoulders, as the giant ant glared at her in utter disbelief.
Was she an enemy or an ally? Why was she cheering for him?
Was she fucking insane or something?!
“G-GET AWAY FROM MEEEEE!”
Fueled by anger, horror, and a deranged sense of inferiority, the ant erupted with rage. His body transformed, doubling in height, with volcano-like growths sprouting across it, lava spewing from them.
BOOOMMM!!!
The flames and lava engulfed Nepheline as the ant retreated, trying to create distance between himself and her.
And yet…
RUMBLE!
Nepheline kicked through the flames and lava. With a single shockwave from her kick, she dispersed them from her sight.
“Not bad, but not there yet. I’m getting serious now, so keep up.”
