A request
What does two thousand years mean? It's 730,000 days, 8.76 million hours, and 525.6 million seconds. It may sound insignificant, but if you actually experience it, you'll realize how long it is.
Her thin hands scooped up a handful of white sand from the ground, held it above an old Wooden Barrel, and spread her arms to let the fine white sand fall into the Wooden Barrel.
For two thousand years, his gray-blue pupils had remained almost completely still, and his body had been mechanically piling sand. Suddenly, the Founding Titan Ymir stopped moving, and his eyes, which had been like a stagnant pool, finally began to ripple.
She stared blankly at the back of her thin, frail hand, where two hideous scarlet stripes had somehow seeped beneath her skin. This unfamiliar scarlet color caused the Founding Titan Ymir to stop what she was doing, a rare occurrence for him.
Then, she raised her head, and before she knew it, she was standing on the Sand Dune and suddenly appeared in front of the towering pillar of light. Sure enough, the Founding Titan Ymir immediately noticed the scarlet tinge mixed in with the dazzling pillar of light.
However, the fluctuations in the Founding Titan's eyes quickly subsided, and the crimson on the back of his hand had long since disappeared. The Founding Titan himself seemed to have sensed something, turning his head to look in one direction. Soon, two blurry figures appeared in the distance.
Yago and Eren ran desperately toward the pillar of light. They lost all sense of time on the road and had no idea how long they had been running. Yago silently called out to the Founding Titan, and it seemed as if the Founding Titan had heard his call. In a flash, the pillar of light that reached the heavens was right in front of them.
"The... the Founding Titan?" Eren recognized the small, thin figure before the path of light, swallowed hard, and felt a little nervous. Although he and Zeke had accidentally discovered a way to temporarily activate the Founding Titan Power, it didn't mean he could command the Founding Titan. The Founding Titan hadn't even obeyed the orders of the Royal Family Zeke last time, so why would it listen to an ordinary person like him?
Upon seeing the Founding Titan again, Yago suddenly felt a strange sensation. Looking at his Great-Grandmother's frail body, Yago felt a strange craving. Don't misunderstand, it wasn't that kind of craving, but rather the craving of a hungry wolf seeing a piece of succulent mutton. Something seemed to be subtly bewitching Yago, tempting him to devour the Founding Titan Ymir!
Smack! Yago slapped himself hard to clear his head, then bowed respectfully before the Founding Titan Ymir. "Founding Titan, it is with great urgency that I disturb you again, but the Eldians are now at a critical juncture of life and death, and we have no choice but to beg for your help."
A request? Great-Grandmother's eyes remained calm, but her head tilted slightly. Then, under the watchful eyes of Yago and Eren, Great-Grandmother slowly turned the Wooden Barrel upside down, using it as a small stool, and sat down, looking like she was all ears.
Yago took a deep breath, then waved for Eren to sit down as well. Last time, his Great-Grandmother had conjured up two chairs for him, but this time, even his Great-Grandmother herself was sitting on the Wooden Barrel, so he and Eren wouldn't have any chairs to sit on. The two of them simply plopped down on the sand.
"Founding Titan, I remember you once said that you saw something different in a future descendant. I want to ask, was that descendant Eren?" Yago asked, staring at his Great-Grandmother.
Eren, standing nearby, paused for a moment, then pointed at himself and said, "Huh? Me??" His expression was utterly bewildered. What does this have to do with me?
Great-Grandmother nodded slightly at Yago's question, but quickly shook her head. What did that mean? Yago was a little puzzled, but since Great-Grandmother nodded, then what Yago had guessed before must be that Great-Grandmother had learned about the future without him from Big Eren!
As for why his Great-Grandmother shook her head, Yago couldn't guess and didn't care to. Yago was in a hurry to find his Great-Grandmother this time because he had his own guesses. Now that his Great-Grandmother admitted that she had seen the future from Big Eren, he was halfway to the answer!
Because Yago guessed that he was the catalyst for Great-Grandmother's transformation. In a world without him and without Artificial Titan, Big Eren Great-Grandmother was touched by Big Eren for some unknown reason and helped him activate the Rumbling.
But the current Eren certainly cannot do that, because the current Eren has loving family, comrades who have risked their lives for him, and trustworthy juniors. In short, Paradis Island is now worth Eren's utmost effort to protect.
Since Eren can't do it, then Yago will have to do it himself! His Great-Grandmother wouldn't help him for no reason. Last time, he personally witnessed Great-Grandmother helping him obtain the Beast Titan's power from Zeke. What does that mean? Before that, the Titan Power Yago acquired must have also Fusion his Great-Grandmother's help!
"Founding Titan, my request is that you bestow the power of the Rumbling upon me! But I am different from Eren. I need this power, not for any other reason than for the future of the Eldians. Please believe me!" Yago said with unprecedented seriousness.
The power of the Rumbling must be mastered! Originally, Yago placed his hopes for the power of the Rumbling on Historia, because now Eren no longer has the courage and reason to activate the Rumbling, so the only thing that can make the Founding Titan activate the Rumbling is the royal blood in Historia.
However, Eren's unexpected use of the Founding Titan Power and his Great-Grandmother's previous help changed Aya's mind. If possible, he should try to control the power of the Rumbling so that he can better plan for the future!
However, in response to Yago's request, his Great-Grandmother gently shook her head, and her ethereal voice suddenly appeared in Yago and Eren's ears, "No, junior~"
Yago's heart sank slightly, but he wasn't discouraged. It would be best if he could control the Rumbling, but it wouldn't matter if he couldn't; he would just have to trouble Historia.
"I apologize, Founding Titan, I acted impulsively. Please forgive me. However, I have another request. I hope you can tell me what exactly the Artificial Titan is, and what its relationship is with the Intelligent Titan? Also, I received news from the Middle East that people of other races have been transformed into Titan. I want to know how all of this happened!"
Hearing Yago's words, Eren was stunned. Artificial Titan! Although he had heard from Zeke before that Yago and Aili's Titan Power wasn't from the Nine Titans, but from new Titan, Eren didn't understand how these Titan were created. And what did Yago mean by other races becoming Titan? Weren't only Eldians capable of becoming Titan?
"Junior, do you really want to know?" The ethereal voice rang in my ears again.
(Sorry, everyone, I've been incredibly busy these Muzi few days. My lab exams are coming up soon, so I've been practicing every night, which has caused me to miss several updates. I Muzi apologize and hope you can forgive me.)
