The Beginning

The Beginning

Apart from one figure who followed Grisha Yeager away,

another figure quietly remained near Eren's house, seemingly waiting for something.

"I'm done eating."

Eren hurriedly finished his meal and ran out of the house. Because Mikasa had betrayed him, Eren's mother now knew that he wanted to join the Survey Corps in the future, and she was furious.

She followed Eren to the door and shouted after him as he ran outside,

"Eren, come back here! You need to correct that way of thinking, Eren! Eren..."

But no matter how she called, the brat Eren ignored her completely and ran off on his own.

And Mikasa, who had always considered Eren the most important person in her life, naturally followed after him.

Unlike everyone else, who subconsciously overlooked Xu Yue's Wood Clone beneath the tree,

after running a few steps, Mikasa still gave Xu Yue's Wood Clone a curious look. She seemed somewhat intrigued by Xu Yue, but quickly caught up with the others.

"What sharp instincts. Should I say that is to be expected of the Ackerman fighting bloodline, or simply to be expected of Mikasa?"

Watching Eren and Mikasa's departing backs, Wood Clone One, who likewise possessed independent thought, remained calm-eyed.

As a Wood Clone capable of inheriting and using even Susanoo, it was undoubtedly the elite among clones. Other than its limited total Chakra, which could not be replenished, it was almost no different from the original body...

Eren ran out of the house and met up with his friend Armin, the number one supporting male character. Armin, still a blond little boy, was being bullied by a group of children because of his unusual views.

If Eren alone had shown up, there might have been one more person getting beaten up. But once those kids saw Mikasa following behind Eren, they fled faster than rabbits.

"...I said that humanity would one day go outside, and that was why they beat me up."

After recovering, Armin explained why he had been beaten.

Eren eagerly declared that he also wanted to see the outside of the walls, only for Mikasa to strongly oppose him, and the two began bickering again.

In the end, Armin said with a smile,

"That's true. Even though we've lived safely inside the walls for over a hundred years, we can't guarantee that the walls won't be breached the next moment."

But just as Armin finished speaking, a faint, incredulous chuckle came from nearby.

"What a jinx."

A figure slowly emerged from the alley behind them, instantly putting Mikasa, who could still be considered a little girl, on guard.

Was he the person standing outside the house today?

Why had he followed them? What was he after?

Seeing the wariness covering Mikasa's little face, Xu Yue's clone said nothing. He merely glanced at the three of them with interest, then looked up at the wall and said with a hint of regret,

"What a pity. This wall is a little too high. It isn't quite enough."

The contradictory words, too high and not enough, left the three children utterly confused.

"Here it comes."

With Xu Yue's soft chuckle, a thunderclap erupted from the clear sky, and the earth began to shake violently.

It was like an earthquake!

Screams and panic immediately erupted nearby.

But the tremor came quickly and faded just as quickly, soon settling down again.

Eren and the other two had been thrown off balance by the violent shaking, but when they recovered, they discovered that the strange man had not moved a single step. He merely stared up at the wall with an eerie expression.

Once they recovered, they followed his gaze out of curiosity, and terror immediately filled all three pairs of eyes.

Atop the fifty-meter-high wall, an enormous head protruded even above such a height...

A few minutes earlier

"This damned Space!"

The reincarnators stopped outside Wall Maria began grumbling irritably.

Although there had been peace within the walls for more than a hundred years, the existence of three walls made the internal class divisions obvious. Without question, the residents of the outermost Walled City belonged to the lowest class.

And the reincarnators, already on their third mission, had not been given any good identities by the Space. They had actually been designated as descendants of exiled criminals, unqualified to enter Wall Maria.

"Should we force our way in? With our strength, these ordinary people can't do anything to us."

A man wearing a single-eye eyepatch in the Yanzi Squad quietly suggested this to their leader, Mo Yan.

"Don't act rashly. According to the information I found, the Survey Corps members here are quite formidable in combat when using Omni-directional Mobility Gear, and they coordinate well. There have been previous cases of groups being wiped out by them."

Mo Yan, wearing a rose mask, spoke coldly. After pondering for a moment, she continued,

"We only need to stay nearby and enter the moment trouble appears. We can also complete the task assigned to us by the legion while we're at it."

At the mention of the "assigned task," several Yanzi Legion members could not help but smile bitterly.

While enjoying the legion's benefits, they also had certain mandatory duties. For example, after using a group binding to enter this mission alongside their captain, they needed to investigate the Titans' origins as thoroughly as possible!

According to intelligence from the legion's elite teams, this damned Space actually contained humans who could transform into Titans while retaining their sanity!!

But those higher-ups should think about it. How could newcomers like them possibly uncover such a secret?

"The legion's task isn't particularly mandatory. They're simply casting a wide net to gather information for later analysis, so don't worry too much."

Although Mo Yan's tone remained cold, she still offered a few words of reassurance.

"Captain, in that case, how about I take a look around the town first?"

Shen Yan, the man with the single-eye eyepatch who had earlier urged Mo Yan to charge in, asked for permission.

"Fine. With your abilities, even if an emergency really arises, you can retreat safely."

After considering it briefly, Mo Yan nodded in agreement.

Shen Yan immediately said nothing more and rushed toward the town.

But at that moment, several Garrison Regiment members guarding the gate impatiently pointed at them and began cursing.

"Why are you still skulking around here? Are you trying to cause trouble? I'm warning you, get out of my sight, or I'll throw you all in prison!"

Hearing that warning so suddenly, all the reincarnators felt as though they had swallowed dog shit.

What the hell? Was the Space trying to wipe them out this time?

"Let's go first and talk later. Don't give them an excuse."

Mo Yan made the decision immediately and chose to compromise for the time being. They did not know exactly when the wall would be breached, so they definitely could not let this group of bastards find leverage or an opportunity.

Otherwise, all their previous efforts would be wasted. Only Wood Clone Two, another Xu Yue Wood Clone among them who possessed independent judgment and thought, knew that according to the progress, the plot could begin at any moment.

Uh, as for why that group of bastards was targeting them, he had roughly guessed the reason.

The Garrison Regiment guarding the walls had Garrison Rose as their emblem, while this group, in pursuit of team style, all wore rose markings on their bodies. This...

It seemed only natural that they would be targeted.

Within the Space, one careless little detail could lead to extremely disastrous consequences.

Still, not leaving for now did align with the order given by the original body...

Today is another single update. Shamelessly asking for recommendations~ Can't worry about all that anymore.
