The Eldia Euthanasia Plan, based on the power of the Founding Titan, was devised and proposed by Zeke Jaeger, the host of the Beast Titan, inspired by his predecessor Ksaver.

Its general content is as follows: the first step is to master the Founding Titan, and through the power of the Founding Titan, change the bloodline of all Eldians in the world, making all Eldians infertile, and ensuring that no more Eldia babies will be born in the future.

The second step, while removing the Eldians' reproductive ability, preserved the reproductive ability of some Eldians with royal blood who could exert the Founding Titan, ensuring the continuation of the Founding Titan.

The third step is to use the Founding Titan to control the hundreds of thousands of Colossal Pure Titan that form the three walls on Paradis Island, and to exert necessary deterrence on the outside world. The Rumbling can be activated appropriately to demonstrate the power.

The fourth step is to use the time gained during the Rumbling Intimidation period to fully develop technology, unite with any other countries in the world that can be united to develop technology, and the Hizuru has promised to provide full assistance.

Fifth, the Marley Volunteer Army will take full control of Paradis Island. After the Eldians lose their fertility, they will inherit the Eldia name. Once the last Eldians dies of old age, a new Eldia Empire will emerge, composed of the Marley Volunteer Army.

The sixth step is that all Eldians will disappear from this world, and the title of "Demon" will vanish from history with the death of the last Eldians. No new Eldia life will be born, and no life will be marked as "Demon" from birth. Only a new Eldia Empire will exist to inherit the Eldia name, and the royal Eldians responsible for passing on the Founding Titan will gradually "disappear" in the future.

The Euthanasia Plan was Zeke's lifelong goal and pursuit. In his heart, only in this way could the Eldians be rid of the evil name they had borne for centuries.

The evils of the Eldians will not be passed down.

Zeke looked up and saw Mr. Ksaver, who was practically Zeke's father. When Zeke was a child, under the dual pressure of his father Grisha and mother Dina, he was working hard to restore the Eldia Empire. It was Ksaver who brought Zeke a little warmth.

Ksaver taught Zeke to play baseball, imparted his lifelong research on Titan to Zeke, and even advised Zeke to protect himself when Zeke's parents' Eldia Restorationists were about to be exposed. It can be said that Ksaver was Zeke's mentor.

"Mr. Ksaver, am I really doing the right thing?" Zeke asked hoarsely.

Ksaver smiled and nodded. "Of course, Zeke, you did very well and did the right thing. Believe in yourself. The mission to eliminate the evil of the Eldians rests on your shoulders. Strive to complete the Euthanasia Plan."

Zeke's mouth moved, but Mr. Ksaver in front of him suddenly disappeared. A large group of figures appeared out of nowhere around him. They were men and women, all of whom Zeke had never seen before. Their faces were filled with despair and resentment, and some of them had multi-pointed star armbands on their arms.

It was the Eldians, countless Eldians surrounded Zeke. They cursed, roared, wept, and questioned, "Why are you taking away our right to reproduce?" "Why are you trying to wipe out the Eldians?" "Why? Why should we disappear?"...

Zeke wanted to explain, but there were too many Eldians gathered around him, so crowded that Zeke was squeezed tightly, and the immense pressure made it hard for Zeke to breathe.

Suddenly, a large group of blood-red figures appeared overhead, and the loud cries of infants reached Zeke's ears. Although Zeke couldn't understand them, he seemed to know that the unborn Eldia newborns were questioning Zeke: why were they being deprived of their right to be born? They were lives too! Why?

"No! That's not how it is! You all don't understand! I'm doing this for the future of the Eldians! I'm doing this to make evil disappear! Why don't you understand me! Why?!" Zeke collapsed to his knees, covering his ears and screaming.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of Zeke. Zeke trembled as he looked up and saw those emotionless eyes. Seeing the person before him, Zeke felt like he had seen a savior. He frantically grabbed the person's shoulders and roared, his eyes red, "Eren! Younger Brother! My Younger Brother, you must understand what Big Brother feels, right?! You must understand me, right?! We're brothers! You must understand me, right?!"

But Eren, standing before Zeke, showed absolutely no emotion, simply tilting his head and saying, "What are you talking about, Older Brother? Why Euthanasia? I want to live! Why are you taking away our Eldians right to live?"

Zeke said, trembling, "But our sins, the sins of the Eldians."

Eren leaned close to Zeke's ear and whispered like a devil, "Then let's make sure the world stops hating us, Older Brother. Let's flatten the whole world together."

Zeke was stunned. "What did you say?!"

Eren let out a maniacal laugh, then his body slowly disintegrated and disappeared before Zeke's eyes.

Zeke reached out to grab something but grabbed nothing.

"How pathetic, Zeke. The Eldia Euthanasia Plan has always been just a joke you made up, hasn't it? Why would you believe we'd cooperate with you on some bullshit Euthanasia Plan? Your plan is as laughable as a child's fantasy. You're so naive." A mocking voice came from in front of Zeke.

With Black Hair Black Eyes, and a mocking expression on his face, Zeke saw Yago Norman. At the same time, Yago's words enraged Zeke. "Bastard! Who are you calling naive!" Zeke roared and punched Yago in the face.

"Ah!! War Chief! What are you doing?"

A painful howl startled Zeke awake. He opened his eyes and saw a military green tent. Still somewhat groggy, Zeke sat up and saw Porco slumped on the ground, covering his nose.

Blood seeped from between Porco's fingers. Zeke raised his fist, looking at the bloodstains on it. Was it his doing?

Porco stood up, covering his nose, inwardly cursing his bad luck. He had only come to wake the War Chief, but he hadn't expected Zeke War Chief to be grumpy in the morning. He had only given him a light nudge, and yet he had suffered this undeserved misfortune. How unlucky!

Porco grumbled to Zeke to get up and go to the command room to assemble, then left.

Zeke stared blankly at his fist. "Was everything that just happened a dream? But it felt terrifyingly real."

He picked up the clothes from the bedside and slowly put them on. Everything that had happened in his dream had made Zeke's heart pound, and it also made him suddenly realize that the Euthanasia Plan might not be going as smoothly as he had thought. Some things were too uncertain, such as Eren, whom he hadn't properly talked Younger Brother yet.

And then there's Yago Norman. He says something that makes sense: why should he believe that Yago Norman was genuinely cooperating with him to complete the Eldia Euthanasia Plan?

Unbeknownst to Yago, Zeke, thousands of miles away, had reached the peak of his wariness towards him because of a dream.
