The outbreak of war: Titans
"Awooo!!" A roar like the wailing of a vengeful ghost suddenly echoed through the square where a fierce battle was raging.
The Armored Titan, with half its face torn off, looked up in astonishment. The Hardening giant shield left by the Fate Titan had been broken in two. The Armored Titan was now covered in wounds, steam was billowing out, one arm was hanging limply, and the only intact arm was tightly gripping the neck of the Red Fire Titan.
Following the direction the Armored Titan was looking, the once peaceful Laboratory Parliament Building wall suddenly shattered, and Titan exuding a chilling Black Aura burst through the wall, revealing its body. Its dark brown skin clung tightly to its bones, making it impossible to see any flesh or blood, resembling only Titan skeletal armor draped in black skin.
The exposed fangs were shrouded in a faint Black Aura, and the eye sockets that should have contained eyeballs were pitch black, with only two faint, firefly-like scarlet lights.
"That's it!" Reiner, inside the Armored Titan's neck, stared in disbelief Red Fire Titan, its neck tightly gripped, was struggling fiercely, occasionally spitting out a pillar of fire that grazed the Armored Titan's face.
"Disgusting!" The Sea-Swimming Titan swung its long tail, instantly blasting several Blood Titan to pieces, splattering disgusting flesh and blood all over itself.
At the same time, the Winged Titan hovering in mid-air also saw the Skeleton Titan that had just appeared. Inside the back of its neck, Litt's steel teeth clenched tightly, "Ebson!"
The Cart Titan leaped with all its might, and as it jumped, it opened its massive jaws and snapped a Blood Titan blocking its path in two with a crack. "This is never going to end! Yago-san! Aren't you done yet?"
The very next second after the Cart Titan uttered those words, "Roar!!!" An even more terrifying roar and thunderstorm erupted, instantly shattering the solid Concrete Laboratory into fragments. A terrifyingly large amount of steam surged forth, even spreading to the plaza a kilometer away.
Clang!! An unprecedentedly terrifying golden arc of lightning, surrounded by countless scarlet rays, rose up. The stark white bones, crimson flesh, and blue-white blood vessels intertwined within the lightning, and the skin was covered by steam.
Bang!!!
Its unprecedentedly tall body reached directly to the ceiling at the deepest part of the Scarlet Base. It should be noted that the highest point of the Scarlet Base, which hollowed out the mountain, is more than seventy meters high.
"Such a massive body! Is it Colossal Titan?!" Porco, inside the nape of the Flying Claw Titan's neck, stared wide-eyed, seemingly astonished as to why Colossal Titan would appear here. But as the steam dissipated, its crimson eyes lit up, and its mouthful of sharp teeth and ferocious face made it instantly recognizable to everyone.
"Yago's Fate Titan! How could it have become so huge!? Could it be that it has the power of the Colossal Titan!" Half of Pieck's body emerged directly from the back of the Cart Titan's neck, staring in astonishment at the unprecedentedly enormous Titan's body.
Compared to the colossal 78-meter-tall Fate Titan, the 15-meter-tall Skeleton Titan that Ebson transformed into was like a toy. But this seemingly frail Skeleton Titan suddenly went berserk, its body shrouded in Black Aura, and pounced on the colossal Fate Titan.
"Don't let that ugly monster get close to Yago! A-Yi, two-stage attack!" A-Wu's eyes were sharp, his index finger twirled lightly, and his Dual Blades were easily sheathed. Click! A row of five-barreled Thunder Spear were attached to his arms. A-Yi and A-Wu Gas their gas power at full speed and charged towards the position of the colossal Fate Titan.
Perhaps because its body had become so enormous, the Fate Titan's movements slowed down. Crackling sounds filled the air as dense, Hardening condensed on its massive back, with Hardening spikes emerging from it, attempting to pierce the Skeleton Titan and stop it from advancing towards the back of the Fate Titan's neck.
However, although the sharp spikes can pierce the Skeleton Titan's body, the moment the Skeleton Titan's body is pierced, the Black Aura surrounding it will instantly condense, quickly cover the wound, and twist into bone skin to repair the wound.
The Skeleton Titan swiftly crawled toward the back of the Fate Titan's neck.
Boom!! The colossal Fate Titan took a heavy step forward, causing the entire Scarlet Base to tremble. Even the densely packed horde of Titan surged forward and became chaotic. Hundreds of Blood Titan were momentarily stunned as the Fate Titan advanced, but in the next second, even more Blood Titan engulfed it, crushing the stunned Blood Titan into dust.
Rumble!! The Far East Soldiers stationed on the outskirts of the Scarlet Base suddenly felt the ground beneath their feet shake, as if it were an earthquake. The epicenter pointed directly into the Scarlet Base, but the Far East Soldiers had no idea what was happening and were all staring at each other in bewilderment.
Floch, who was crouching behind a steel cannon, also felt the huge tremor beneath his feet. He knew that the time had come. Without any hesitation, Floch threw away the rag in his hand, stood up, and strode towards the interior of the Scarlet Base.
"Hey! Which unit are you from!? Stop! You can't go any further! Go back to your unit!!" In the Far East Army's forward positions, a Soldiers spotted Floch and immediately shouted at Floch to leave, but Floch ignored him and continued walking forward as if he couldn't hear.
Perhaps provoked, or perhaps because Floch was about to cross the line, the Far East Soldiers on the Frontline Position raised their weapons. Bang! A shot rang out, and a hot bullet pierced Floch's shoulder.
Floch grunted and turned to look at the Far East people who had fired at him. "Soldiers! Come back! How dare you abandon your post!? Come back right now! You'll be court-martialed!" Far East Officer Torlof, who had rushed up to him, shouted at Floch.
"Heh!" Floch's lips curled into a mocking smile, and then, to the astonishment and horror of countless Far East Soldiers, a towering golden bolt of lightning shot up from the ground.
"What is that?! Quick! Quick! Set up the cannons! Set up the cannons!" the Far East Officer at the front shouted in terror. What the hell? What did they see? A towering pillar of lightning suddenly shot up from the body of a Far East soldier. What the hell was that monster?
Torlof was so shocked he couldn't speak. What kind of person had he picked up?
In the dim moonlight of the dark night, a hidden outpost was located in the Forest five kilometers away from the Scarlet Base. Dozens of elite Eldia Soldiers, fully armed, surrounded the outpost, guarding the surrounding environment. Among them, three sharp figures were faintly visible in the treetops at the highest point.
On the winding tree trunk, a delicate figure leaned quietly against the wall, her pale blue eyes reflecting the faint moonlight. Her slender white fingers gently traced the Ring on her finger, Annie murmured the name of the one she loved, "Yago..."
Whoosh!! A sudden bright light and a violent commotion in the distance immediately caught the attention of everyone at the base!
