The urge to retreat

As the Attack Titan flying by its own attack, a fierce glint flashed in the War Hammer Titan's eyes. With a thought, a large area of Hardening crystals rapidly covered the ground, centered on its own feet.

Hardening spikes rose from the ground, aimed directly at the Attack Titan. However, if a careful observer noticed, they would find that the number and size of the Hardening spikes summoned by the War Hammer Titan were far less than those used by the Fate Titan.

The legitimate version is actually inferior to the pirated version? What kind of logic is that?

Although Eren suffered a setback due to momentary carelessness, the training Eren has undergone over the years is no joke.

Attack Titan Ju raised his head and quickly propped himself up with his arms. Because the Hardening covered his arms, the Hardening on the ground easily pierced into Attack Titan's body.

Soon, the lower half of the Attack Titan was pierced by countless spikes, and steam rose from Attack Titan back of its neck. Eren tore off the blood and flesh smeared on his face, "Mikasa!"

In the night sky, Mikasa, having replenished her Thunder Spear, descended like Valkyrie. With the Omni-Directional Mobility Gear Gas maximum power, she rushed towards the Attack Titan's neck like a meteor, grabbed Eren around the waist, and pulled Eren out of the Attack Titan's neck.

Eren put his arm around Mikasa's neck, their actions appearing quite intimate, but now was not the time to think about such things. "Yago said that the War Hammer Titan's weakness lies in the thin tube connected to its back. The War Hammer Titan's true form is buried deep underground; we must break through from here."

Mikasa nodded and said, "Don't worry, Eren, we just need to suppress the War Hammer Titan. Historia will take care of it."

Below them, the Royal-Blood Jaw Titan was running at full speed through the arena, dodging the Marleyan artillery fire.

The Royal-Blood Jaw Titan gave up the pursuit of the Cart Titan, but this was not good news for the Cart Titan, because on a tall building, five figures were quietly waiting for it.

Behind it stood a large contingent of Survey Corps Soldiers, and ahead of it were the Ackermans who had been waiting for a long time. What should the Cart Titan do?

"Mikasa! Let's go!" Eren shouted. Mikasa immediately understood, released Eren's waist, grabbed his hand, spun Eren twice in the air using the momentum, and threw Eren away.

He opened his mouth and bit down hard on Allen's palm. Golden arcs of electricity instantly covered Eren's entire body. The steam generated during the transformation dissipated behind him, leaving a long trail in mid-air. Layers of flesh and bones emerged.

The War Hammer Titan took a step back, raised its long-handled hammer, swung it Attack Titan to gather strength, and plummeted straight down War Hammer Titan; this blow was meant to smash the Attack Titan's head, along with its so-called Founding Titan Power!

But as mentioned before, Eren was not fighting alone. Mikasa's figure rushed to the Attack Titan like lightning, and in the air, she was like an elegant dancing elf. With ease, she fired all four Thunder Spear, which were equivalent to those carried by two Soldiers, from her left arm.

The instant the Thunder Spear made contact with the War Hammer Titan, Mikasa flicked her finger, and four balls of orange flame suddenly rose from the War Hammer Titan's body.

The massive impact of the explosion knocked the War Hammer Titan to the ground. If it weren't for the fact that the War Hammer Titan's skin was also a special kind of Hardening, it would have been a mangled mess of flesh and blood by now.

The battered War Hammer Titan had just gotten up Attack Titan sky and slammed a punch into its head, knocking it down again.

Kicking away the War Hammer Titan's weapon, the Attack Titan seized the opportunity to mount the War Hammer Titan atop it, its Hardening fists relentlessly pounding the War Hammer Titan's head. Bang! Bang! Bang! A series of teeth-grinding smashing sounds rang out, and the War Hammer Titan's head began to twist and deform in the face of the Attack Titan punches.

Thud! Just as the Attack Titan fierce attack, a Hardening spike suddenly rose from the ground and quickly pierced through Attack Titan chest, successfully delaying its attack for an Attack Titan. A hastily formed, crude Hardening short sword materialized in the War Hammer Titan's hand.

Boom!! Before the War Hammer Titan could retaliate, two Thunder Spear blew off its arms.

Meanwhile, the Royal-Blood Jaw Titan bypassed the fiercely battling Attack Titan and War Hammer Titan, and Historia quickly spotted the white pipe connected to the back of the War Hammer Titan. It was long, thin, and winding, leading all the way underground. "Found you!" Historia was very excited and immediately rushed towards it.

The shells exploding all around them couldn't stop the Royal-Blood Jaw Titan. At this moment, less than half of the Soldiers in the high-rise position where the Marley artillerymen were located were still firing, while the other half of the Soldiers and Magath had disappeared.

Bang!! The Hardening fist was covered in blood and flesh, and only half of the War Hammer Titan's head remained. The War Hammer Titan, whose mouth was still intact, stammered, "Usurper... Eren Jaeger, you, you..."

Before the War Hammer Titan could finish speaking, his body suddenly went limp and he lost all movement.

Not far away, the Royal-Blood Jaw Titan held aloft a large piece of Hardening crystal. Inside the transparent crystal was a perfectly intact human, Lara Tybur remained silently inside the Hardening crystal, her eyes wide open, while the Royal-Blood Jaw Titan still held the half-bitten white tube in its mouth.

War Hammer Titan, defeated!

Crack! Countless cracks appeared on the body of the Fusion Titan, which was left with only three horse legs and retreated repeatedly. In front of it, every time the Fate Titan raised its giant hammer to smash down, the Female Titan beside the Fate Titan would take advantage of the Fusion Titan's defensive moment to swing her greatsword and slash wildly.

For a time, the Fusion Titan was powerless to resist and retreated step by step. Bazel inside the giant was in great distress. The Fortress Titan was bearing the brunt of the defense, and his physical strength had long been exhausted. It was a miracle that he was still holding on without collapsing.

Steam continued to rise from the Winged Titan's body, and it twitched occasionally, clearly indicating that it had lost its ability to fight. The Silver-Split Titan's figure disappeared from the battlefield, and Bill's whereabouts were unknown.

Ebson frowned. The outcome of this battle was no longer relevant to him. He desperately needed to prove his theory, and staying here was a complete waste of time.

Looking up at the Fate Titan, Ebson's eyes were deep. "Norman, are you really right? We'll see!" After muttering to himself, a crimson glint suddenly flashed in Ebson's eyes, and he whispered, "Bill! Take them, retreat, let's go!"

Behind a shattered boulder, Bill, a cigarette dangling from his lips, suddenly heard Ebson's voice in his mind, "Take them, retreat, let's go!"

Bill spat out his cigarette, carefully peeking out from behind the boulder. Looking at the Fate Titan and the Female Titan, no more than fifty meters away, he realized he'd finally made it this far; it seemed his sneak attack was off the table.

The battle has continued until now, and one person has been overlooked by everyone. Newt, covered in dust, staggers along. Ever since the forces from Paradis Island appeared and disrupted the situation, Newt has deactivated his Red Fire Titan form and has been hiding in a corner to recover his strength. His goal has never changed.

Now that all the Titan Warriors around Ebson are either tied down or incapacitated, this is the perfect opportunity for him to take revenge!
