Final arc: Reappearance
The Cart Titan's back was now empty, and the wounds inflicted by Annie while fixing its body had long since healed.
Pulling out the arm that Red-Eyed War Hammer Titan, the Red-Eyed War Hammer Titan's body collapsed with a crash. Golden hair fluttered slightly, and the agile Female Titan glanced around expressionlessly.
Crouching down, the Female Titan picked up the Hardening meteor hammer bound with chains, easily swung it, and began to spin it.
Meanwhile, the Red-Eyed Intelligent Titan surrounding her could no longer contain themselves and rushed frantically toward the Female Titan.
The Hardening meteor hammer was swung around in the Female Titan's hands, leaving afterimages and creating a terrifying whistling sound in mid-air.
"Awooo!!" A Beast Titan with a lizard's head charged forward with a howl, disregarding everything.
The Female Titan's blue eyes narrowed, and the meteor hammer in her hand flew out like lightning. Bang!! Like a stone smashing an egg, the meteor hammer, which whistled out, not only smashed the head of the lizard beast giant, but also smashed half of the body of a Titan behind the lizard beast giant with its remaining force.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Female Titan clenched her fists and rushed into the Titan first. Taking the initiative, she used her Hardening iron fists to crush the Red-Eyed Intelligent Titan surrounding her. All the Hardening essence was concentrated in her fists, knees, and elbows. Although her actions were ferocious, the Red-Eyed Intelligent Titan, who lacked agility, were no match for the Female Titan's swift and ruthless fighting techniques.
Although Annie's Female Titan was brave enough, she was still at a significant disadvantage against many opponents. Even ants can kill an elephant if there are enough of them. Soon, the Female Titan was gradually surrounded by the powerful defense of several Armored Titan. Just as there was only a small gap left, a tall, red-eyed Female Titan was about to step forward to fill the gap.
With a snap, the Cart Titan crushed the head of the red-eyed Female Titan, then sprinted forward, crashing into the red-eyed Armored Titan and widening the gap.
"Annie! Run! Don't get entangled with them!"
Upon hearing this, the Female Titan quickly broke free from the restraints of the red-eyed Armored Titan and rushed out of the gap before the sluggish Armored Titan could react, heading towards the location of the Fate Titan above.
The surrounding Red-Eyed Intelligent Titan reacted and immediately gave chase, but a figure was faster than them. The Cart Titan, with a Titan's head still in its jaws, blocked the way for the group of Titan, and hot Titan blood dripped continuously from the corners of its Cart Titan.
Spitting out the Titan's head from its mouth, the Cart Titan spoke in a human voice, "Bastards, don't even think about getting past this."
The numerous Red-Eyed Intelligent Titan paused briefly, but then resumed their pursuit with even greater fervor.
Taking advantage of the Cart Titan's obstruction, the Female Titan quickly approached the Fate Titan above.
But just as the Female Titan stepped onto a protruding bone spike, Transformation occurred. Hardening platforms rapidly spread out from the bone spike beneath Female Titan feet, forming a wide platform in the blink of an eye.
The sudden change made the Female Titan cautiously stop. On the back of her neck, Annie's expression was solemn, and suddenly, a sense of foreboding rose in her heart.
Crack! Crack! Bang!! A powerful arm suddenly broke through the Hardening platform and emerged from below. Then, under the gaze of the Female Titan, a 17-meter-tall, strong Titan climbed onto the platform. Its muscles were bulging, its eyes were bloodshot, its Black Hair was messy, and its mouth was full of sharp teeth. "Roar!!!" The Titan climbed onto the platform let out a terrifying roar at the Female Titan.
"Yago?" Annie's eyes widened as she looked up from the back of the Female Titan's neck. She recognized the Titan before her at a glance—it was Yago's Fate Titan, or rather, the Fate Titan from four years ago, the Fate Titan she had first met in the Giant Tree Forest.
The Female Titan stood frozen in place, but the newly appeared Fate Titan wouldn't stand idly by; it charged towards Female Titan with a ferocious roar.
Bang!! A ferocious punch shattered half of the Female Titan's head, blood and flesh splattering everywhere! (Classic remake, see Chapter 70)
"Awooo!!" A Red-Eyed War Hammer Titan clung tightly to the body of the Cart Titan, white light condensing in its hand, and a longsword pierced through the Cart Titan's body, pinning the Cart Titan to the skeleton beneath its feet.
Just as more Titan were about to pounce, the Cart Titan's nape suddenly bulged, and a figure leaped out from behind it. Whoosh! A red-eyed Jaw Titan reacted quickly and grabbed at Pieck, who had jumped out from behind its nape, but it was a second too late.
Pieck's face hardened, and he bit his own hand on the tiger's mouth. Golden lightning exploded on his body, and the brand-new Cart Titan charged towards the Red-Eyed Intelligent Titan once again.
The battles between Titan are extremely brutal. Even though Pieck's Cart Titan has superhuman strength, Pieck still felt extremely exhausted after repeated battles. After transforming six or seven times in a row, his fatigue became even more intense.
Sizzle! He bit off the nape of a red-eyed Female Titan, but then his vision was filled with even more red-eyed Titan. A sense of despair rose in Pieck's heart. "There are too many! Are you kidding me?"
Aow!! A red-eyed, Jaw Titan suddenly leaped up from the left side of the Cart Titan and pounced. Pieck naturally saw this scene out of the corner of her eye, and even recognized her former Warrior Unit Marcel by his appearance. Unfortunately, she could do nothing but complain Comrade. Just as Pieck was about to dodge...
Thud! Several sharp steel spikes suddenly pierced through the body of Marcel the Red-Eyed Jaw Titan.
"Wait! That's... the War Hammer Titan?" The Cart Titan froze, looking up in surprise.
A towering Titan stood behind the Red-Eyed Jaw Titan, its entire body covered in grayish-white softened Hardening armor. Its face resembled a vertically striped mask, through which crimson muscles could be seen, and its exposed eyes glowed green. A long, Hardening fork stood erect in its hand, and the Red-Eyed Jaw Titan was impaled on the fork, struggling incessantly.
With a casual flick, the red-eyed, Jaw Titan on the steel fork was thrown off, and white light condensed in the green-eyed War Hammer Titan's hand, instantly forming a long-handled mace.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Cart Titan leaped a few times and arrived beside the green-eyed War Hammer Titan, opening its massive jaws and asking, "You are... Lara Tybur? What are you doing here?"
Unexpectedly, the green-eyed War Hammer Titan actually answered, "I made a deal with Eren Jaeger."
What transaction?
"Help you, and I'll be free!!"
Bang!! The whistling sound of air being torn apart was followed by the sharp sound of a War Hammer. With a heavy blow, half of the body of a red-eyed Armored Titan, along with its Hardening, was smashed to pieces.
