Their Respective Tasks
*Pfft! Newt suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, collapsing to the ground, limp and weak. His face was covered in bruises, his legs were twisted in a bizarre way, and his right arm was missing at the root, steam rising from the severed end.
"Ebson, I, I'm going to kill you!!!" Newt roared, struggling to his feet with one arm and crawling towards Ebson.
However, a swift, powerful whip kick struck Newt's head, producing a dull, teeth-grinding sound.
The force of the whip kick deformed Newt's head, causing all the blood vessels in his eyes to burst, turning his pupils crimson and splattering blood everywhere.
Newt's body was kicked away like a rag doll and slammed heavily onto the floor, where he completely lost consciousness and passed out.
Ebson watched everything indifferently from beginning to end. Even when Newt's blood splattered on his face, he simply took off his glasses and slowly wiped it with a handkerchief.
Beside Ebson, Bill slowly lowered his raised leg, blood still dripping from the toe of his black leather boot.
Aili gripped the armrests of the chair tightly, her pupils contracting sharply. Everything had happened so fast; she hadn't had time to react at all.
The moment Ebson mentioned the traitor, Newt, who was sitting next to Aili, suddenly sprang to his feet, turned around, and grabbed Ebson by the collar with eyes full of deep hatred. At the same time, a Dagger slashed Newt's palm.
In the midst of the chaos, Aili's mind went blank. She had assumed her undercover identity had been exposed and was completely at a loss when Newt suddenly attacked. What was going on?
Throughout the ordeal, Ebson remained calm and offered no resistance, allowing Newt to hold him hostage. Newt even had the audacity to question Newt: "Why did you betray me? Do you know what kind of power I gave you? Without me, you'd just be a piece of trash on the street, starving to death any minute now!"
But Newt screamed maniacally, "To hell with power! Ebson! You're dead! You deceived me! You killed Anna! I'll make you pay with your life!!" Golden arcs of electricity began to envelop Newt's body as he transformed in the confined space, potentially affecting the others present.
Bazel and Ivanor immediately distanced themselves, and Litt also retreated repeatedly.
Only when Aili realized this was an opportunity. It turned out that she hadn't been exposed. The traitor Ebson was referring to was Newt, and now that Newt had been exposed, he was suddenly rising up. Perhaps this was also her chance!
Aili made a quick decision, drawing a Dagger from her sleeve. Taking advantage of the chaos, she transformed into Sea-Swimming Titan to disrupt things and escape in the confusion!
However, before Aili could act, something strange happened.
A crimson glint flashed in Ebson's eyes, Aili felt a sharp, piercing pain suddenly shoot into her heart, as if someone were stabbing it with a sharp awl.
In that instant, Aili felt as if her breath was about to stop, and the same was true for Bazel and the others behind her.
Newt's reaction was even more pronounced; the golden arcs of electricity that had been spreading throughout his body suddenly went silent, and Newt's eyes bulged out and his body stiffened.
It was at this moment that Bill, who had been smoking and watching the show from the side, made his move. He strode forward, raised his feet, and stomped on Newt's two legs, breaking them both. Newt screamed and fell to the ground.
Then Bill grabbed Newt's right arm, a flash of white light, and a layer of Crystal covered his hands. He stepped on Newt's body and let out a beast-like roar. Crack! Thud! Newt's right arm was snapped off by Bill at the root, and that's how the incident at the beginning happened.
The bloody scene made Aili's eyelids twitch, and a faint fear welled up in her heart. When Ebson's gaze swept over her, Aili subconsciously lowered her head in fear.
However, Ebson seemed unaware of Aili's identity, and nonchalantly said, "It's truly a pity that Newt has disappointed me. But I believe you are different from Newt. Are you willing to join me in leading humanity towards evolution?"
The terrifyingly cold aura emanating from Ebson instilled fear in the group, and they all nodded in agreement. Aili was also forced to nod.
"Very well, then, children, let's talk about how to deal with those scoundrels who have designs on us."
"Is everyone ready?" Yago asked, looking at his Comrade.
After receiving everyone's affirmative answers, Yago nodded and said, "Then let's proceed according to plan, Captain. Thank you."
Levi looked at the earnest Yago, fully equipped with the new Omni-Directional Mobility Gear, and simply replied with two words, "Don't worry."
Then, Levi, along with his fully armed Levi Squad and the five Ackerman including A-Yi, turned and left.
After Levi left, Yago turned his gaze to Eren. "Eren, you have to be extremely careful this time. When that time comes, you'll be the most attention-grabbing person. Be sure to stay safe! The power you possess is too important."
Eren said confidently, "Don't worry, Yago, just wait and see!"
"Everyone must ensure Eren's safety. Also, Historia, you must be careful too. Don't let your guard down just because you possess the Jaw Titan Power. The enemies we're facing this time are very powerful."
Eren is protected by Mikasa, Jean, Connie, Sasha, and other old comrades from the 104th Cadet Corps Training Corps. Historia will also cooperate with Eren.
After assigning everyone their tasks, Yago looked at Annie one last time. Annie seemed to have anticipated what Yago was about to say and preemptively said, "I'm not leaving. I want to stay with you!"
Yago was taken aback, then said helplessly, "Annie, don't be so willful. I have a very important task that I need your help with."
But Annie was adamant about staying with Yago, because every time Yago acted alone, all sorts of unexpected things would happen, so this time Annie refused to be separated from Yago no matter what.
As night slowly fell and the stage was set up, a grand performance gradually began.
