<h4>Chapter 175 Free Humans Vs Mammoth nsmen (Part 1) </h4>
The moment Hanya entered the room, Erwahllu froze up in response. Immediately, memories of the past flickered past her mind. She recalled the faces of her son and daughter-inw who were killed by soldiers under Hanya''s orders.
Upon seeing Hanya grab baby Gann, Erwahllu seethed in anger. After her son died, she simply lived like a corpse, waiting for the day her death approached.
But for the past two and a half years, she had an enjoyable life, watching baby Gann''s growth. She recalled the day baby Gann turned two years old and suddenly began speaking a string of words without rest, expressing a level of intelligence vastly superior to her age.
"In," Erwahllu approached Inter that night, after baby Gann and Asaeya had fallen asleep.
Seated in the living room, In had been observing a map that he had just purchased. When she called him, he rolled up the map and motioned for her to take a seat.
"Grandma, do you want some tea?" He got up and entered the kitchen, preparing some.
"Thank you," Erwahllu sat in afortable cushion, staring at the mansion that now stood in the ce of her dingy home. In had rebuilt and renovated the ce luxuriously. His Theatre too had kicked up a notch, bringing him a lot of revenue, making him a busy person.
That meant he only had limited time to be at home, causing baby Gann to spend most of her time with Erwahllu. As a result, both developed a close bond.
Sipping the tea that In brought, Erwahllu pieced through her thoughts and asked, "Tell me the truth."
"Who exactly is she?" She asked, "Is she really your daughter?"
"Isn''t she starting to resemble me?" In tilted his head in confusion, "Why are you wondering about that, grandma."
"I''m not talking about her appearance. She indeed looks like you. But that''s not what I''m getting at," She stared at In in all seriousness, "Tell me the truth."
"Is Gann even human?"
"Are you sure you want to learn the truth?" In asked, "Grandma, please know that I won''t be revealing it to you without the associated consequences."
"That''s fine with me." Erwahllu nodded, "I will die any day now. So, I''m not concerned about that. I just wish to know the truth. Who exactly is Gann? And in extension,"
She stared at In, "Who are you really?"
"We are Mammoth nsmen." In said, "And Gann is a Mammoth n Princess."
"I see…" Erwahllu nodded, satisfied, "Are all Mammoth nsmen as smart as her?"
"If that was possible, we would be controlling all of Sumatra," Inughed, "Only a Mammoth n Princess is special."
He stared at her, "Are you repulsed because we aren''t Free Humans?"
"Maybe I would have cared when I was younger." Erwahllu snorted, "But at my age, I can''t bring myself to feel such attachments. Besides, I''m simply staying as a guest in your home until the day I die. So, I don''t care."
"Gann is a sweet child. Slightly selfish, but pure by heart." Erwahllu got up slowly, "I treat her as my granddaughter. And do you know, In?"
She grinned, "She calls me grandma with all her heart. It warms me to see her grow."
Staring at In''s trembling hands, she spoke softly, "So, you needn''t look at me like that. I won''t do anything that''ll sabotage your existence. Unless of course, you n to destroy us."
"I''m not a psychopath," In muttered, "I''ll be leaving this ce in a couple of years. We have simply stopped here to prepare for our journey to Brimgan Empire."
"I wish you sess then," Erwahllu yawned and returned to her room, staring at the figure of a sleeping baby Gann, "I''ll raise her well."
"Haah…" In sighed, retracting the Prana in his hands. If Erwahllu disyed the slightest intent to sabotage his ns, he intended to kill her. Thankfully, nothing happened like that, ''It would have weighed on my mind had I killed her.''
Returning to the present, Erwahllu stared as dozens of Empyrean Zingers revolved around baby Gann in a protective formation. Asaeya rushed to her rescue, unleashing sounds that stole Hanya''s senses.
But suddenly, Hanya''s body flickered as she swapped her body with another. Only the senses of the previous body had been stolen. The new one was in its pristine state.
She activated her Human Avatar in full swing, transforming into a swamp-like humanoid with acidic properties. Prana Bombs mmed into her body but melted in a matter of seconds. The swampy fluids simply dispersed the momentum behind the impacts as Hanya closed in on baby Gann.
"Don''t you dare touch her!" Erwahllu shouted as she took out a dagger that had been passed down through her family for generations. Followed by a roar, she stabbed it into Hanya, causing the contact area to turn into ice.
"That''s a decent weapon you got there," Hanya muttered as a tendril shot out of her body and spilled onto Erwahllu''s forehead, melting through thetter. In an instant, Erwahllu turned into a puddle.
With barely any Prana, she was too weak and outssed here, hence one-shotted by the 4-Life Stage cultivator, Hanya.
Thankfully, Erwahllu''s sacrifice bought enough time for Asaeya to arrive between Hanya and baby Gann. Six Spirit Weapons floated around her and attacked Hanya while she used her powers to rob the senses of both Hanya and Gudora.
But she couldn''t do anything beyond that. The moment her Spirit Weapons came into contact with Hanya, they melted, rendering them useless. It was a bad matchup.
"Grandma! No!" Baby Gann screamed in sadness as tears streamed out of her eyes. She red at Hanya, inhaled a deep breath, and puffed through her mouth, unleashing a sonic boom as Hanya was sent flying away.
"What the heck was that?" Forming a pair of deep trenches in the floor as she dragged her feet to a halt, Hanya was surprised to see the level of power exhibited by baby Gann, "How is a three-year-old this strong?"
Hanya mmed her palms together and expanded them to create a sludge film, tanking the Prana Bomb projectiles. After melting through them, she created a sludge whip andshed at Asaeya, intending to incapacitate her.
Her goal was to capture Asaeya and baby Gann to use them as a bargaining chip against In. Just before her attacknded on Asaeya, Hanya lost her sense of sight, hearing, smell, and touch.
Using that chance, In appeared behind her, carrying a bone paddle that was bigger than her body. He swatted her with force, having activated his Secondary Nature, sending her reeling into Gudora as her Human Avatar melted through his.
"Hanya! It''s me!" Gudora grunted, watching theyer of crystals covering him melt in response. But Hanya was unable to hear his shouts, continuing to damage him. If he were to retaliate, she would suffer worse. Hence, Gudora was in a predicament.
