The spark that ignited the battle
An eerie atmosphere descended upon the venue. The Marley Warriors and the Titan Warriors under Ebson's command, who had been facing off, fell into a brief silence due to the sudden appearance of Paradis Island.
Although only Eren, the Attack Titan, appeared on Paradis Island, the countless Wings of Freedom standing on the surrounding rooftops made Pieck and Reiner, who were well aware of the situation on Paradis Island, hesitant to make any rash moves.
The Titan Warriors under Ebson's command were clearly unprepared for the sudden appearance of the Titan Warriors from Paradis Island, and they had never encountered the Eldians of Paradis Island before, so for a moment they didn't know what to do.
Seeing that his Marley Warriors were frozen in place and the Marley artillerymen behind him were also stunned, Magath frowned, snatched Rifle from a Soldiers next to him, and fired a shot in Magath 'Eren direction.
Setting down his Rifle, Magath calmly stated, "This is the first shot fired for Marley to reclaim the Founding Titan, for world peace! Remember this! It was I, Dio Magath, who fired this first shot!"
This was all pre-arranged by Willy and Magath, to enhance Magath's prestige and pave the way for Magath's succession as Marshal Marley.
The bullets, having traveled a considerable distance, had lost most of their power, and when they hit the Attack Titan, they didn't even cause a splatter. But Magath's gunshot was like a spark igniting gunpowder; the next moment, the War Hammer Titan raised his hand, conjured Hardening arrow, and fired it at the Attack Titan.
The Beast Titan smiled, easily crushing two giant rocks with its two massive hands, and raised its hand to throw them towards Eren's location.
The Attack Titan stretched out its arms, its hands forming claws, layers of hardened, Hardening material rapidly covering its entire arm. It opened its mouth, stretching to its ears, and unleashed a powerful, chilling roar, "Roar!!"
With a raised leg and a bent body, the Attack Titan lunged directly at the Marley Titan Warriors, its black hair fluttering wildly in the wind!
"All troops! Attack! One gram!" Levi suddenly drew his Dual Blades, his eyes sharp and filled with murderous intent.
"Yes!" X n.
With a whoosh, the anchor shot out, Gas gushed out, and countless Wings of Freedom Soldiers leaped from the rooftop.
The five Ackerman moved with ghostly speed, their figures in mid-air almost impossible to catch.
Mikasa, carrying a full eight Thunder Spear, leaped directly from the rooftop. Just before landing, she pulled the trigger to activate her Omni-Directional Mobility Gear, keeping her leap height very low. While most of the Marley Soldiers' attention was drawn to the air, Mikasa effectively concealed herself.
"Watch closely, everyone! I'm amazing too! Don't underestimate me!" Historia encouraged herself, then fiddled with the Ring on her hand, and a sharp Ring sprang out, piercing Historia's finger.
Golden Thunder erupted. That's right, Historia's Ring was a replica of Annie's Ring made by a craftsman. After all, as Queen Historia, she couldn't always carry Dagger around, could she? Annie's transformation Ring was not only small and beautiful, but also very practical—wasn't this perfect?
A small but powerful figure burst through the steam, its exquisite muscles brimming with explosive power. Its hands were covered in white, Hardening bone claws, and its face was covered in white bone armor. Beneath the visor, fangs curved in awe-inspiring way, and the prismatic sword-like protrusion on its head shone like a crown. The King Jaw Titan has arrived!
Historia's Jaw Titan was incredibly fast, and it quickly reached the Attack Titan Titan's side, with both Titan charging together.
"That's?! My brother's Jaw Titan!" Inside the back of the Jaw Titan's neck, Polk immediately recognized the Jaw Titan power that once belonged to his brother Marcel, and instantly, Polk's eyes turned bloodshot.
The Flying Claw Titan roared and charged recklessly towards the Attack Titan and the Jaw Titan.
"Porco!?" Pieck was startled. Then, worried about Porco, Pieck immediately followed, using all four limbs to catch up with the Cart Titan Flying Claw Titan.
The Armored Titan hesitated. Regardless of his past friendship with the people of Paradis Island or Yago's willingness to spare him, Reiner was reluctant to become an enemy of Paradis Island again. However, Pieck and Porco were also Reiner's close friends. After much struggle, the Armored Titan charged forward with his two shields, though Reiner's fighting spirit was weak.
The War Hammer Titan drew his bow and nocked an arrow, then fired a sharp Hardening arrow at the Attack Titan.
But Eren, after countless training sessions, was no longer the same as before. With his Hardening concentrated in his arms, he could withstand the bombardment of the Thunder Spear. The Attack Titan's speed did not decrease at all. Facing the arrow shot by the War Hammer Titan, he simply raised his hand to block it, and the long Hardening arrow was directly knocked away.
While the Marley Titan Warriors were being deployed, the Titan Warriors under Ebson's command were still observing, unsure of what to do.
Bill's half-body emerged from the nape of a Silver-Split Titan's neck, and the moment he appeared, the crimson eyes of the other Silver-Split Titan split bodies immediately dimmed.
Bill turned to the ruins of the stands and asked, "Master, what should we do? That Pointed-Ear Titan seems to be the Founding Titan. Should we try to take it?"
Ebson was nowhere to be seen from the ruins of the stands, but his voice clearly reached the ears of the Titan Warriors, "No, forget about the Founding Titan, I want the one on the roof! I want Norman! Bring him back to me!"
"Norman? Who is Norman?" Ivanor and Bazel inside the Fusion Titan, as well as Litt inside the back of the Winged Titan's neck, were all somewhat bewildered.
Only Bill looked up at Yago on the distant rooftop, "Him? That kid? He really didn't die. This name shouldn't belong to anyone else!"
"Follow me!" Bill's body returned to the Silver-Split Titan's body, and the four split Silver-Split Titan's crimson eyes shone again.
Then, the five Silver-Split Titan ran at high speed towards the building where Yago was, and the huge Fusion Titan also raised its heavy cone and ran heavily, each step causing the earth to tremble.
The Winged Titan hovered in the air, but instead of charging, it turned its crimson gaze toward Marley, where the Tybur family, who had once been involved in ordering the destruction of his country, were located!
Standing alone on the rooftop Yago immediately spotted the Titan charging towards him, but Yago remained calm, even showing a hint of excitement. "You guys, don't overestimate yourselves."
The wind ruffled Yago's Trench Coat, and a faint arc of electricity, interwoven with gold and scarlet, appeared in his deep, star-like pupils beneath his black, tousled hair.
