Zaine summons Ents to root the ant queen in its place, managing to slow it before their roots get torn off.
Zaine realizes its strength is no match for the now enraged Ant Queen.
He decided to keep fighting with the Giantess. With it giving the highest chance for them to win.
The Giantess with the spectral Giantess tries to overwhelm the ant queen with their numbers.
With the immense speed of the queen, it evaded most of the attacks, only managing to leave shallow cuts that grazed him slightly.
The fight grew more intense as both parties took turns striking each other. It was now a battle between the endurance of the ant queen and the mana regeneration that Zaine had.
The fight continues as both parties battle with each other. The ant queen's speed had slowed down just a bit, signaling the limit of its endurance.
As the queen was cornered, an aura surrounded it, creating an air force that pushed the Giantess back. At that moment, the speed of the Ant Queen rose.
Suddenly, the worst thing happens, the ant queen manages to pierce the Giantess, dealing a severe blow and cracking the soul.
{Giantess has been defeated}
{You have lost the ability to summon Giantess}
The look of horrors could be seen on Zaine's face as his strongest summon got defeated. He quickly deployed Spectral Ents to try and contain its movement. The Ant Queen broke through the ent roots.
Amy made a shield for both of them while Zaine scrambled around, searching for a way to defeat the ant queen. He opened his status, checking if there was anything he could do.
{Combine Souls?}
"Huh? What is this?" Zaine mumbled to himself as he clicked the icon.
Suddenly a tab showed up.

"This is new. Even in Hellmode, I have never seen this." Mumbled Zaine while covering his mouth.
"Zaine, did you find anything." Questioned Amy while she was trying her best to keep the shield active.
Zaine combines the souls of 1000 goblins to make an Origin Goblin. This was a monster completely unknown to Zaine. He combines 100 of the giant's souls for two Giantess' souls.
This is a revelation for Zaine and will play a crucial part in his journey.
{You Have Combined 1000 Goblin Soul}
{You receive an Origin goblin soul}
{You can summon Origin Goblin}
{You Have Combined 100 Giant Soul}
{You receive 2 Giantess souls}
{You can summon Giantess}
Zaine summons the Origin goblin.
{Summoned Origin Goblin}
{-1000 Mana}
"What the, a thousa..." Muttered Zaine as he collapsed to the ground, falling unconscious.
Zaine suddenly collapses. The amount of mana needed to summon the Origin Goblin exceeded the amount of mana he had by almost threefold.
Amy saw Zaine collapsing and immediately came to his side, checking his pulse.
"ZAINE?!" Shouted Amy while holding his body.
Amy checked his pulse. It was low.
Shocked by the situation, Amy couldn't maintain the shield around them.
Just as the Ant Queen about to strike them, a small shadow figure appear in a split second, and it tore one of the arms of the Ant Queen, and it appeared again, taking another of the arms off.
The Ant Queen is frightened. It ran back towards the opposite corner, going full defensive mode. It tries its best to deflect any incoming damage, but as the Ant Queen realizes the shadow figure, one of its arms is already gone.
After a brutal show from the small shadowy figure, the Ant Queen's leg is all gone. As it pleaded for its life, the shadowy figure appeared before disappearing with the Ant Queen's head.
The Ant Queen got defeated. No, it got annihilated by a shadowy figure that Amy saw.
With that, the room becomes silent. Amy swiftly commands the remaining Ents to carry Zaine.
...
...
Zaine wakes up in an unfamiliar room. He was lying in bed.
He got up and looked around the place. There were flowers on his bedside. It looked like a clinic or a hospital room.
He tried to remember what had happened before, he fought the Ant Queen, and he spawned the Origin Goblin, and what?
Just then, a person opened the door. It was Amy. She runs towards Zaine, hugging him.
"How long was I out for?" Asked Zaine with a complex look on his face.
Amy sat next to Zaine on the bed. "It has been two days, Zaine," Whispered Amy, with a smile of relief on her face.
"I have the local healer checked up on you. He said you have mana exhaustion, so either your mana got close to zero or empty. Please don't do reckless things like that again." Amy pleads to Zaine while leaning her head towards Zaine's shoulder.
Zaine thought about what happened back there. But he still had not managed to understand.
"Status Check!"
Zaine saw that he had acquired the Ant Queen's soul. In addition, he still has the origin goblin soul and two Giantess souls.
In addition, he gained three levels, making him reach level 50.
"Amy, did you know what happened there?" Asked Zaine, searching for the answer to what happened back then.
Amy tells the story after Zaine collapsed. She explained that the whole thing happens in a flash and how the shadow figure manages to decimate the Giant Ant Queen.
Zaine figured that after he spawned the Origin Goblin, it drained all of his mana, and the goblin still got summoned, wreaking havoc on the Ant Queen, only to disappear after finishing its job.
"The Origin monsters, what a strong monster," Zaine mumbled.
While Zaine was thinking, a knock could be heard from the door. Amy went up and answered the door. The doctor comes after hearing that Zaine has woken up.
