A Sudden Turn
Rod stared blankly at the Syringe in front of him, not understanding.
"Historia! Why! What are you doing!" Rod roared angrily, his voice even louder than the scream he had when his left hand was smashed.
Historia exclaimed excitedly, "No! I don't want to be your puppet! What a load of rubbish about the Royal Family, what about the power of gods! They're all liars, selfish bastards. They have immense power, yet they just stand by and watch the Titan ravage humanity. I don't want to become one of them!"
"Ymir is right, I'm a hopeless bad kid, so I don't care about any mission or responsibility at all!"
Historia's words startled Eren, who looked up at her, realizing that Historia was completely different from before.
Historia's face flushed slightly after her impassioned speech.
Perhaps the obedient Christa of the past was just a protective shell for Historia, and the Historia who is now truly expressing her emotions is the real her.
"Faced with the temptation of absolute power, she actually chose to refuse? What an interesting young lady." Kenny took everything in and felt a little moved.
Rod lay on the ground, his eyes vacant, his right hand slowly reaching for the Syringe in front of him.
At that moment, Historia also jogged over to Eren's side on the high platform.
Seeing that Eren was still sitting there in a daze, Historia tugged at Eren and said, "Eren, come with me and get out of here!"
However, Historia, who was petite, was not very strong and could not pull Eren away for a while.
"Historia, your father was right. Without everything my father did, perhaps the world would be a better place. Eat me and save humanity. I don't want to live like this anymore," Eren said with a pained expression.
Historia, unable to contain herself any longer, gave Eren a hard thud on the head. "Eren! You idiot! Coward! Selfish bastard! You actually wanted to leave such a troublesome and difficult task to a girl like me! I despise you!"
"And Mikasa, if I eat you, Mikasa will definitely cut open my stomach and pull you out! You're just trying to harm me!"
Under Historia's incessant nagging, Eren was dragged off the platform in a daze.
In that instant, several figures rushed into the cave.
"Eren!" Without even hearing it, you knew it was Mikasa.
Mikasa rushed to Eren like Mikasa and hugged Eren tightly.
"Eren, your forehead, who did this?!" Mikasa immediately noticed the wound on Eren's forehead.
A terrifying killing intent emanated from Mikasa, sending chills down the spines of those around her.
Armin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Eren and Historia were both safe.
As for Ymir, he had already darted to Historia's side.
Yago, who had come in with the others, began to observe the situation.
A middle-aged man with a dejected look lay sprawled on the ground, his left hand seemingly mangled and mangled. He was probably the Nobility from Reiss, Historia's father.
As Yago was observing, he suddenly felt someone poke his waist.
Turning around, I saw that Annie's little face was full of vigilance, and she pointed in a direction.
Yago looked in the direction he was looking and saw Kenny clutching his stomach.
Yago's muscles tensed instantly; he and Annie both knew Kenny's strength.
However, Kenny doesn't seem to have any intention of making a move right now; instead, he's just watching quietly from the sidelines.
Just as the group was locked in a stalemate, Boom!!! A huge explosion came from the cave entrance, and the smoke from the explosion even rushed into the cave.
Looking disheveled, Traute walked through the smoke, not even glancing at His Majesty the King sprawled on the ground, and went straight to Kenny's back.
"Tsk, what a mess." Kenny's blank stare finally showed a hint of reaction when he saw his subordinate Traute.
Traute tried her best to hide her injuries and feigned composure. "They're all dead. We couldn't stop the Survey Corps. Everyone else is dead." Traute said these words seemingly calmly, but the tremor in her voice betrayed her inner turmoil.
Upon hearing that the Central Military Police Anti-Personnel Control Squad, which he had personally trained, had been completely wiped out, Kenny was thrown into turmoil. Over the years, he had to admit that, as he grew older, the emotions he had once despised in his youth were beginning to slowly affect him.
Or rather, from the moment he coveted Uri's power but became friends with Uri, Kenny was no longer as pure as he used to be.
She rescued herself from a brothel in the Underground City and personally taught her a younger version of herself.
He served the royal family and personally executed Historia's mother, but when he saw young Historia weeping on her mother's body, Kenny was horrified to find that he actually felt a subtle pity in his heart.
How terrifying! Kenny the Throat Kenny doesn't need emotions; Kenny with emotions would be utterly fragile.
Soldiers clad in the Wings of Freedom surged into the cave, Blades and Flintlock aimed at Kenny and Traute, while Soldiers rushed forward to drag the distraught Rod Reiss from the ground.
Commander Erwin, his face resolute, walked in together with Levi, Humanity's Strongest Soldiers.
"Kenny, surrender. Reiss's plot has completely failed," Levi said, looking at Kenny.
Kenny's lips curled into a smile. "Levi, still so naive. I once said that a person must have a goal to live. What's the point of living if you lose your goal?"
Levi frowned.
"Retreat!" Kenny suddenly fired Flintlock to attract the others' attention, and while the Survey Corps was momentarily stunned, he and Traute immediately left through the hidden door.
"I'll go after them!" Levi drew his Dual Blades, activated his Omni-Directional Mobility Gear, and several Levi Squad Soldiers caught up with their Captain without hesitation.
Erwin and Hange stayed behind. The situation was basically under control. Eren and Historia were also safe. The operation was a success.
Jean, Sasha, Connie, and the other New Recruits were all gathered around Eren and Historia.
"Thank goodness, Historia, I'm so glad you're alright."
"Eren, what happened? Aren't you supposed to be able to transform into Titan? How come you look so disheveled? It's hilarious."
Yago and Annie exchanged a glance and temporarily lowered their guard.
"Wait, can I see my daughter?" Rod pleaded, head bowed, as he was being held back by two Scout.
Historia, who was also listening, pushed aside her companions and walked up to Rod.
"Why? Historia, that's the power of a god."
"Father, I've said it before, I don't want to be that kind of hypocritical god, I just want to be myself."
Rod raised his head, his face contorted with rage. "You! You are a disgrace to the Reiss Family, but you must accept this power!!!"
Whoosh! Incredibly, the disabled Rod suddenly broke free from the restraints of the two Scout and charged towards Historia.
To everyone's astonishment, Rod pulled a Syringe from his right sleeve and plunged it into Historia's shoulder, pushing it all the way in.
(Muzi changed the original plot here, which means that some of Muzi later drafts will have to be revised a lot, so there may only be one chapter today. But I believe that you all will definitely prefer the plot after my changes, because the original plot was a bit too biased towards the original work and too bland. Writing fanfiction is of course about adding something different. I hope you all like it (ღ♡‿♡ღ))
