Comrades
Ironically, Yago was actually defeated by his own attack. The Armored Titan's arm tightened around his neck, and Yago's Fate Titan was unable to break free for a time.
In an instant, Yago was both shocked and furious, roaring, "Damn it, what the hell is going on?!"
The Armored Titan's body was already spewing steam, looking completely exhausted, but the arm that was choking the Fate Titan's neck still had strength.
Reiner, his eyes bloodshot, cried out from the back of his neck, "Don't try to stop us from going home!"
"Oh no, Mikasa, Yago's been entangled!" Armin and Mikasa had just pulled the exhausted Eren out of the back of the Attack Titan when they discovered that Yago's Fate Titan was being tightly bound by the Armored Titan.
Hearing this, Mikasa turned her head and saw that it was true. "Armin, take care of Eren, I'm going to help!" With that, Mikasa drew her Mikasa Dual Blades. Although Mikasa's heart was with Eren, she also cared about her Mikasa.
But just as Mikasa was about to make her move, a figure had already soared into the air directly above the Armored Titan and the Fate Titan.
Blonde flowed beneath the crown, and Historia's green eyes reflected the image of the Armored Titan.
"Reiner, why are you traitors?"
A drop of blood dripped from Historia's fingertip, and streaks of Yellow Lightning appeared on Historia's body. Finally, the arcs converged and enveloped Historia.
First came a mass of bones, then flesh and veins, and a brand new Titan was being born.
"Roar!" A sharp roar signaled the arrival of the new Jaw Titan.
Completely different from the small, Jaw Titan Ymir once transformed into.
Historia transformed into the Jaw Titan, becoming even stronger.
Standing a full seven meters tall, its limbs, though not long, are muscular and look incredibly powerful.
It also had a layer of white bone armor on its face, and near its mouth, there were two curved lines like fangs on the armor, and below the armor was a large mouth full of sharp teeth.
It also has a layer of sharp white exoskeleton claws on its hands, and the most conspicuous part is Historia 'Jaw Titan forehead.
The top features a diamond-shaped, sword-like protrusion, resembling Queen's crown.
The newly Jaw Titan leaped up and pounced on the Armored Titan's back.
It opened its massive jaws and began tearing at the Armored Titan's nape.
Faced with the Jaw Titan's teeth and claws, the Armored Titan's Hardening skin and defenses were as fragile as a biscuit.
Reiner, who had been gritting his teeth and persevering, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. Then, his true form was grabbed by a tremendous force, and he was uncontrollably pulled out of the Armored Titan's body.
"Ugh, cough cough." Reiner couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, his vision blurred, only vaguely seeing himself being lifted up in front of a strange Titan.
Thud, the back of the Fate Titan's neck was also split open, and Yago emerged with a pained expression on his face.
"Reiner, you really surprise me. Where is Bertholdt?"
But Reiner's consciousness seemed a little hazy at this moment. "Back home, we are warriors, I'm sorry, Marcel, Annie."
Yago shook his head and looked around. Bertholdt might be hiding somewhere.
The Jaw Titan glanced at Yago said, "Thank you for your hard work, Historia."
"Let go of Reiner!"
Yago was taken aback by the words, but after recognizing the voice, he looked up with relief. "Bertholdt, so you're here after all."
On the tower, Bertholdt's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he held Dagger to the ground in his palm.
"Bertholdt, don't overthink it. We finally captured Reiner, how could we possibly let him go!" Yago deliberately provoked.
Bertholdt gritted his teeth, his expression turning ferocious, and shouted, "If you don't release Reiner, then I'll transform into the Colossal Titan right here, and we'll all perish together!"
Upon hearing this, Yago's expression instantly turned serious. He shouted, "Bertholdt, look around you! Look at the humans on the island being ravaged by Titan! Look closely! Are they demons?"
Bertholdt's ferocious expression froze, as Yago continued to press, "After living here for so many years, haven't you realized the deception of the Marais? The people here aren't demons, they are our compatriots! We, the Eldia! Compatriots with flesh and blood!"
"You and Reiner destroyed the peace! How many Soldiers have died, how many children have lost their parents, how many families have been torn apart? Who is the real monster? Bertholdt, tell me!"
"Ah!!!" Perhaps it was Yago's words that struck his soul, Bertholdt collapsed and covered his head, screaming.
Memories of the past pierced Bertholdt's mind: the refugees they encountered inside the city walls, the hunter who cared for them but then hanged himself, and the refugee children in the streets who had lost their loved ones.
But memories of Marley also surfaced in Bertholdt's mind: his father waiting for treatment in the hospital bed in his hometown, the expectant gazes of his relatives...
"I... we just want to go home! I just want my father to get treatment! I... I didn't mean it, I'm sorry! Please forgive me!" Bertholdt's eyes were moist, but his tone was even more determined.
She stood up, letting the tears fall, "We are demons, we have committed countless evil deeds, there is no turning back."
As the Small Knife pressed against his palm, a resolute glint appeared in Bertholdt's eyes.
Seeing Bertholdt's actions, everyone tensed up, and Armin shouted, "Wait, Bertholdt, don't be impulsive, we can talk again!"
But Bertholdt had made up his mind, and resolutely plunged the Small Knife into his palm.
Blood splattered everywhere, and Bertholdt's eyes widened as a severed hand landed on the top of the tower, while a Blades pierced his shoulder at the same time.
The severity of his injuries led the Titan Power to prioritize repairing his body rather than transforming into Colossal Titan.
Bertholdt glanced behind him, but the person there made him tremble slightly. After a long pause, Bertholdt gave a bitter laugh, "Annie, you and Yago have fooled us all..."
"I'm sorry, Bertholdt."
