That means you   need to be smarter than trying to blow her up. And anyway, that's not really the issue.

Salem is indestructible because she represents an intractable problem in the psyche. Your psyche. You can  blow her up, but you'd necessarily blow yourself up in the process. Because she's you.

That's why the gods said, "As long as this world turns, you will walk it's face."

If the explosion was large enough to wipe out Remnant itself, Salem would stop regenerating. But if you did that there would be no world left to save so it isn't an option unless you decide that the only way out is suicide.

That's a very crumpled definition of cancer. Cancer is when a Cell's DNA is damaged in such a way that it reproduces uncontrollably.

The fact that it's reproduction is not faulty is what makes it so deadly because the cells it produces retain the fault in the original malignant cell, thus leading to a tumor.

If anything, the possibility of subsequent damage is a blessing because if it can cause cell division to fail entirely, the tumour is rendered benign.

Anyway, if Salem can regenerate her entire body, wouldn't that include any damage to her cells?
