The Coordinate Space (Part Two)

"Pah!" Yago spat out the sand in his mouth, his face turning pale.

This was the third time he had been blasted away by the Founding Titan Ymir. His whole body ached as if it were about to fall apart, and he felt as if his internal organs had shifted.

Yago didn't understand why the Founding Titan Ymir harbored such malice towards him. Indeed, Yago felt that the Founding Titan Ymir was hostile towards him; he simply wanted to get closer and awaken Eren and Historia.

Unaware of the eerie red light emanating from his eyes, Yago cried out, "Founding Titan, why?!" A sense of discontent rose within Yago, and his gaze toward the Founding Titan Ymir Yago.

But the red light and fierce look in Yago's eyes quickly faded, and he himself didn't notice these subtle changes.

Just then, Eren, who was lying in front of Founding Titan Ymir, sat up, his eyes half-closed, his expression somewhat blank.

Then, something happened that shocked Yago as he struggled to his feet.

A clear, ethereal voice appeared out of nowhere, "Do you want the Titan Power to vanish?"

The sound echoed wildly in Yago's ears as if by magic; although it sounded ethereal, it was like a piercing demonic sound to Yago.

The shock pierced Yago's head, causing Yago to instinctively clutch his head in pain.

The voices came from all directions. The Founding Titan Ymir did not speak, but Yago guessed by intuition that it was the voice of the Founding Titan Ymir. Strangely, even in Big Eren's memories, he had never seen the Founding Titan Ymir speak.

"Should we make the Titan Power disappear? Should we make the Titan Power disappear?..."

Gradually, Eren's lips, which had been blankly focused on his appearance, began to move. "Should we... make... the... power... of Titan... disappear?"

As Eren uttered those words, it felt as if a knife had been plunged into Yago's heart. A terrifying sense of suffocation enveloped Yago; it was the feeling of death.

I don't know where the feeling came from, but if Eren said that the power of the Titan Power would disappear, Yago was certain that I would die!

"No! Eren! That's not it, wait!" Facing a life-or-death crisis, Yago endured the pain, stood up, and walked towards Eren and the others once again.

This time, Founding Titan Ymir, couldn't stop him, and Yago successfully reached Eren's side. However, an invisible wall of air still blocked Yago's way.

"Founding Titan, shouldn't you be obeying the Royal Family's orders? Why are you staring at Eren!?"

Founding Titan Ymir, did not answer Yago's question, but simply stared at Eren, seemingly waiting for Eren to make that decision.

Yago was very puzzled. At this time, Eren had not come into contact with the Founding Titan Ymir, and the incident in Big Eren's Memories where Eren persuaded the Founding Titan should not have happened.

This was also Yago's original plan. Since Eren hadn't contacted the Founding Titan should still obey the Royal Family's orders. Therefore, Yago's original plan was to use Historia to have the Founding Titan quell the unrest in the Shiganshina District. But now...

"How is this possible?" Yago was still completely baffled. The Founding Titan ignored him, so Yago could only frantically pound on the invisible wall and call out to Eren.

"Yago, are you going to follow my final choice?" A familiar voice suddenly came from behind.

Yago turned around. The man was wearing a black coat, had his medium-length hair tied up, droopy eyelids, and a gloomy expression. Wasn't this Big Eren? Or rather, the Eren who claimed to come from a world without Yago?

"Eren? You, you didn't disappear? Wait, could all of this be your doing? Could it be that what you said before about entrusting your Fate to me was all a lie? Did you still influence the current Eren and come into contact with the Founding Titan?" Yago suddenly had a terrifying thought.

Could it be that Big Eren before him has been deceiving him all along? Memories can't be faked. He might indeed be from a world without Yago, but his purpose in coming to this world is still the same as in his original world: to make the Titan Power disappear, rather than entrusting his Fate to him as he once told him?

Seemingly sensing Yago's thoughts, Big Eren raised his hands in an innocent gesture, "Yago, don't overthink it. I haven't deceived you at all. I only happened to come to the Coordinate Space because of you. I haven't had any contact with Ymir."

"You," Yago remained skeptical of Big Eren's words. Apart from Big Eren's involvement, Yago couldn't think of any other reason that could affect the Founding Titan Ymir.

But Yago is currently powerless. If Eren were to utter a single word that would cause the Titan Power to vanish, Yago would also dissipate into the world. Why? Yago doesn't know either.

"Because you are the Fate Titan itself." Founding Titan Ymir, suddenly turned her head, and a soft voice reached Yago's ears.

What's going on? Did the Founding Titan speak to me?

Before Yago could react, Founding Titan Ymir, turned and stared at Eren, her words, "Do you want all the Titan Power to disappear?" still echoing around them.

"Eren! Eren! Eren!" Yago shouted frantically, but Eren, sitting upright, didn't react at all, as if he hadn't heard Yago's words at all. He just slowly repeated, "Do you want Titan Power to disappear?" His voice gradually became firm, as if he was about to give a definite answer at any moment.

Yago, extremely anxious, turned to Big Eren, who was watching the spectacle, and roared, "You bastard! Stop watching! Don't you have any ideas? Help me! Prove that you weren't behind all this!"

Big Eren was watching the show, glanced at Yago, then at Founding Titan Ymir, shrugged helplessly, and then walked behind Yago, under Founding Titan Ymir's murderous gaze.

Then Big Eren bent down and hugged the Founding Titan Ymir tightly.

There was no further action from Big Eren, but the echoing sounds that had been reverberating around them disappeared, and the invisible wall blocking Yago's path also vanished.

Yago's face lit up with joy, and he rushed to Eren, shaking Eren vigorously in an attempt to wake Eren up.

"Eren! Eren!... Temee! Wake up!"

After repeated shouts went unanswered, Yago grew angry, raised his hand, and slap! A clear handprint appeared on Eren's face.
