Lies, Resentment, and Titans!

"Ymir, I want to confirm again, are you sure that World Government, in the end, only enslaved, and not annihilated, our world, right?"

Eren stared expressionlessly at the girl's pale yet delicate face.

"Yes, after you died, although they massacred the 'World Allied Forces' and wiped out most of the governments of various countries, they did not slaughter too many civilians. The Eldians lived well, just like me, only enslaved."

Receiving this reassuring answer, Eren shook his head bitterly and asked, "What about Mikasa? How is she?"

Although he can see the 'future memories' transmitted back by his 'future self, he cannot see the 'future' after his 'future self's death, so Ymir is the one who needs to tell him about this 'future'.

Eren's 'knowing the past' is a standard ability for 'Titan Shifter', which means he can see the past memories of the previous inheritors.

The ability to 'Future Sight' comes from the special ability of the 'Attack Titan,' which is to see the future memories of future successors. The ability to 'transfer memories' comes from the 'Founding Titan's' absolute control over all Titans.

But all of this is managed by 'Ymir' in this 'Coordinate Space'; she is actually the central system of 'Titan Power'!

This brings us to what exactly Eren's 'Future Sight' is.

Simply put, it's a 'limitless emulator'!

He can use the 'future memories' transmitted back by a large number of 'future selves' to continuously deduce and observe what will happen in the world at this moment, and these are 100% certain results that will definitely happen.

If he makes a 'change' in this process and his fate takes a turn, then a 'newly generated future self in a parallel world' will continue to provide the latest 'future memories,' and this is an inevitable outcome.

That's why it's said that as long as the 'future self' and 'Ymir' provide assistance, it's a 'strong Future Sight's similar to a 'simulator'!

That's why he was able to accurately determine CIHPER POL's movement path through 'high-definition images' and have landmines laid in advance that would kill them.

That's why he was able to seize the crucial moments when Bondi Wald sped out of the stargate, dropping himself from the biplane bomber (the Italian Caproni Ca.30 bomber), and then detonating the 'Colossus' transformation power the instant the former looked up!

Because these are successful experiences that many 'future selves' have tried many times.

As for what happened to those failed 'future selves,' we don't know.

For Eren in the 'present', these are nothing more than 'possible futures' that have already been shattered; what matters most is his current point in time and the world line he is on.

With such an outrageous 'simulation cheat device,' Eren, with Ymir's help, 'saw' thousands upon thousands of slightly different 'future scenes' in this 'Coordinate Space.'

None of them resulted in them successfully defeating the World Government, or even successfully preventing their invasion.

The Crystal Protection, so hard that only the Jaw Titan could bite through it, was shattered by the opponent using some unknown means.

One can imagine how desperate he must have felt at that time.

At last.

Eren had actually asked Ymir if they would be treated well by the World Government if they surrendered and submitted, but Ymir's answer was...

Cannot!

Ymir told him that this World Government would act in a very domineering and ruthless manner in the future, enslaving all the people of the world into laborers in order to collect various resources from its own world.

Even on Paradis Island, the need for Iceburst Stone drove all the Eldians to mine them desperately, while the children who Awakening the 'Titan Shifter' were captured and taken to the other world, their whereabouts unknown.

From that moment on, Eren completely lost faith in the World Government, which ignited the anger in his heart and his yearning for freedom!

Since defeat and enslavement are inevitable, why not go all out and deliver a powerful blow to the opponent first?

Otherwise, you might not have another chance!

"Mikasa, she committed suicide under that tree after you died," Ymir said easily after a moment of hesitation.

"Really? That's great."

Eren thought that at least Mikasa wouldn't have to endure the pain of enslavement, and then let out a long sigh. He now had less than a year left to live.

But he didn't really care about that; what he regretted even more was not being able to see the memories of the future successor to the 'Attack Titan'.

This suggests there are two possibilities.

First, there have been no more "Attack on Titan" since him, not even other "Titan Shifter." Were the Eldians wiped out by the World Government?

Secondly, he might have been taken to another world, which is why he can't see his own abilities; he sincerely hopes that's the case.

"Time is running out, I must go back. This should be the last time I see you, Ymir." Eren looked at the girl and said softly, "I'm sorry, it seems I can't help you escape from here."

"It's okay, I'm used to it anyway."

Ymir clenched her fists, pursed her thin lips, and whispered, "But I still want to fight alongside you one last time, for freedom."

"Yes, for freedom!"

Eren turned and walked forward, his body gradually dissipating, heading towards the land destined for enslavement, to fight a battle he was destined to lose.

But just three seconds after he left the 'Coordinate Space', Ymir looked up at the Starry Sky, at the towering 'path of light', and sighed, "I'm sorry, I lied to you."

She was unwilling to accept it. According to her original fate, she should have been free long ago, but the appearance of the World Government completely destroyed everything, and she would have to continue 'working' here for who knows how many more years!

"Whether it's the World Government or the whole world, everyone must pay the price for my lost freedom."

The resentful voice seemed to transform into an ominous darkness, adding shadows to the snow-white gravel on the ground.

"Waaaaah----"

On Punk Hazard, the home of the Sea Star Homeworld Academy of Sciences, a scream powerful enough to pierce through all the walls and ceilings resounded.

"Star Gate! Is that Star Gate?! It's huge!!"

A blue-haired boy with a round Red Nose stared in disbelief at the dazzling starlight blooming on the virtual screen, gesturing wildly and shouting incessantly.

Sitting next to him, Ikoma looked helpless and tugged at his arm, saying, "Okay, okay, can you calm down first, Buggy?"

"Ikoma, when you came here, did you also pass through that Great Star Gate?"

Buggy finally managed to sit down, but immediately widened his curious eyes and pressed his face against Ikoma's, asking a question. Ikoma could only push his big face away with his hand and then shook his head in reply.

"No, I remember the Star Gate was only about three meters tall before, and..." Suddenly, the usually calm Ikoma couldn't help but grab his collar and roar, "Didn't you just watch it grow bigger with your own eyes, you idiot Buggy?!"

After shouting, I released the other person with a look of relief, then covered my face in despair, lamenting in my heart that ever since I became friends with this little rascal, Hozumi has said that my personality has changed a bit.

"Wow—what are those things? Are they Giants too?"

"Ikoma, what are you doing? Look! Look! That's so tall! It looks like three Titans!" Buggy's eyes almost popped out of their sockets as he stared incredulously at the image on the virtual screen.

"Um?"

Ikoma looked up in confusion, and the next moment, he froze on the spot. Not only him, but all the countless Sea Star Person watching the live broadcast were also dumbfounded.

Behind the enormous Star Gate, rows of colossal Titans clad in black iron armor and shrouded in white smoke stood on the arid Kitsuchi earth.

Ah, back to my old writing rhythm, it feels so good! I'm experiencing the joy of writing again. It's true, writing what you want to write is the happiest thing ever.
