Finale: Hope
Roar! Howl!
Countless roars of Titan echoed throughout the Scarlet Base. The most shocking, massive, and bloodiest Titan battle in history erupted here. What kind of scene was it? No words can describe this epic war except for those who witnessed it firsthand.
The thousands of intelligent Titan Warriors were clearly divided into two waves: one with bloodshot, lifeless pupils and the other with glowing green eyes. The two sides clashed, unleashing countless bloody storms.
Just as the foreleg of Jaw Titan tore through the nape of Beast Titan, it was cleaved in two by the broadsword of a Red-Eyed War Hammer Titan. Meanwhile, a Green-Eyed Armored Titan, taking advantage of the Red-Eyed War Hammer Titan's broadsword being stuck inside the Jaw Titan, tightly gripped the War Hammer Titan's arms, allowing another Green-Eyed Armored Titan to smash the Red-Eyed War Hammer Titan's head with its fists.
Similar scenes were happening in every corner of the battlefield, except for the very center, where the Zeke Beast Titan's terrifying throwing power and Historia Royal-Blood Jaw Titan's formidable fighting prowess successfully cleared a vacuum around the Attack Titan, whose body was wrapped in golden arcs of electricity.
Bang!! The Female Titan landed nimbly, Annie leaped out from the back of her neck, roughly tearing off the flesh and nerves stuck to her face. Her face was filled with anxiety as she looked at the Fate Titan of Fate high in the distance.
The Cart Titan skillfully evaded the attacks of all the surrounding Titan Warriors and successfully brought the weakened Porco and Ivanor to the side of the Attack Titan. Mikasa also carried one on each side and dug out Ivanor and Bazel from the Fusion Titan. Together with Reiner, who was brought over by the Royal-Blood Jaw Titan, the Rescue Squad was reunited.
"War Chief Zeke? Why is he here? Did he come here with us too? And Historia over there, how could your Parliament agree to let the Queen come to such a dangerous place?" The Cart Titan spoke in human language. Among the Titan Warriors present, perhaps only Pieck was still full of energy. Her Cart Titan stamina was simply too strong. Even after the intense battle just now, the Cart Titan could still maintain its best condition.
"Zeke and Historia didn't come; I'm using the Founding Titan Power to temporarily seek their help."
Suddenly, Eren's clear voice rang in the minds of the Rescue Squad, startling everyone. They all looked at the green-eyed Titan beside them, whose body was wrapped in golden arcs of electricity.
Eren's voice continued to echo in everyone's minds, "Don't be surprised, everyone. This Founding Titan Power is not the complete Founding Titan Power. At best, it can only be considered a temporary imitation of the Founding Titan's empty shell. I can't hold on for long. The true Founding Titan Power is actually in Yago."
"What!?" Annie's eyes widened, her breathing quickening. "Why is the Founding Titan Power in Yago!?"
"I'm sorry, Annie and everyone. It was Yago and I who deceived you. When our Paradis officially intervened in the World War, Yago planned everything that happened today. Before the Titan Power completely lost its deterrent effect, Yago was determined to use it to pave the way for the future of our Eldians. Before the Rumbling, Yago obtained my blood and Historia's blood. When the true royal blood and my blood as a usurper meet, the Founding Titan Power will be transferred to Yago."
Yes, Yago also clearly saw that Fate, a Fate without him. He said he would never let it happen, until the very end of the World War. It was all Yago's plan. In his plan, we would change all Fate, Eldians would have a bright future, a future where we Eldians could live in the world with dignity. All of this had only one price: Yago himself.
At this point, Eren's tone became somewhat somber, "But I cannot accept the sacrifice of Yago, because this was not his responsibility. He could have easily abandoned all responsibility and lived happily with Annie. Yago sacrificed himself for all of us. Although Yago said it was his choice, it was not our choice."
I want to thank Yago. He not only saved my mother, but also pulled me out of the abyss of the future, giving me the opportunity to fight for the future of the Eldians with my Comrade, and allowing me to openly express my feelings to the girl I like.
Everything we've done today may disappoint Yago, but I believe you won't abandon Yago. I won't lie to you; the outcome of saving Yago is uncertain, and we may all perish here today. It's an honor to have fought alongside you all...
"Eren..." Mikasa's eyes were slightly moist. The members of the Rescue Squad were equally shocked; they too had witnessed a Fate without Yago.
The Rumbling and shattered, and countless humans cursed Eldia in despair and death. That suffocating Fate ultimately sealed Eldia's utter destruction.
Reiner remained silent, Porco was speechless, Pieck was lost in thought, and Aili and Ivanor were deeply moved. Without Yago, they might have been just an insignificant grain of sand in their Fate, destined to vanish into nothingness along with Eldia.
Annie was already in tears. She didn't hear much, only that Yago had planned everything all along. "Yago, you bastard! You said you would never lie to me, you big liar! When I find you, I will never let you get away with this!"
Roar!!!
The battle between the surrounding intelligent Titan Warriors suddenly became even more bloody and violent. The Titan Warriors, whose eyes were originally bloodshot and dull, suddenly became ferocious, turning the tide between the two groups of Titan Warriors who were originally evenly matched. The Titan Warriors controlled by Eren were rapidly falling into a disadvantageous position.
Titan heads were smashed, torn apart, shattered, and blasted away... The severed limbs of Titan Warriors flew everywhere, and Titan Warriors with emerald green eyes were torn apart by even more red-eyed Titan Warriors.
"There's no time left. My strength won't last much longer. Our last hope, Annie, is in your hands." Eren's solemn voice echoed in everyone's minds once more.
In the pure white room, the short man held a chess piece, but couldn't place it on the board, as if an invisible force was holding him back.
"Why, why? Holding onto unrealistic hopes, being so stubborn, isn't it better to just follow the predetermined Fate? There are too many unexpected events, then the show won't be interesting anymore. I don't want to watch this anymore."
At the same time, the tall man opposite the short man also made a move. Two beams of light of different colors intertwined in the position of his pupils, and his body was trembling slightly, as if he was struggling extremely.
Beside the two figures, the little girl carrying the bucket also showed a change in expression. The corners of her usually calm mouth curved slightly, and a hint of relief appeared in her eyes as she looked at the tall man.
