Finale: Sending them out

Inside the Paths, Annie swung his fists, punching again and again, while the Hallucigenia rolled and crawled, passively taking the beating without any resistance.

Logically speaking, as the creator within the Paths, it shouldn't be so weak. However, the current timeline is very special. The Hallucigenia is at the most critical moment of Fusion with Yago, and the interference from the external Rescue Squad has caused most of the Hallucigenia's power to be scattered.

Bang! A swift punch sent a spray of blood flying, and the bruised and swollen Hallucigenia was sent flying backward. But it quickly got back up, expressionless, spitting out stagnant blood and a jumble of teeth.

"It's just a futile struggle, Annie. Even if you punch me ten thousand times here, it won't matter, because Fate has already been decided. Although you insects have delayed me a little, I'm not in a hurry at all. You probably don't know what kind of situation your Comrade are in right now, do you? Now, Eren's power is exhausted. If I want, I can instantly reclaim their Titan Power and crush them into mincemeat!" The Hallucigenia said coldly, the injuries on his face healed in the blink of an eye, and his face became even more mature.

Annie stared at the other party, her anger burning even more intensely. But suddenly, an image appeared out of thin air beside the Hallucigenia. Then, the Hallucigenia raised its hand and snapped its fingers lightly. Just as it had said, the Rescue Squad members, who were surrounded by countless Red-Eyed Intelligent Titan, were instantly de -Titan Transformation.

"Ah!!" A blur flashed before Aili's eyes, and when she came to her senses, she found herself being held in the hand of Beast Titan with a horse's head. She could even clearly feel the hot breath coming out of the horse-faced Titan's nostrils.

Ivanor's Paladin Titan suddenly collapsed during the charge. By the time Ivanor was dragged out in a disheveled state by Porco, who had also de -Titan Transformation, he was already surrounded by rings of Red-Eyed Intelligent Titan.

Porco and Reiner stood back to back, both looking helplessly at the countless Titan surrounding them.

On top of the massive skeleton, Pieck looked down from tens of meters high, tears welling in his eyes, thinking, "Is it too late for me to surrender? This is true despair."

With Mikasa's help, the weakened Eren struggled to his feet. The red-eyed Titan gradually gathered around. Mikasa gritted her teeth and gripped the only nicked Blades she had left in her right hand.

Looking at his Comrade in the picture, Annie's expression was beyond angry. "You bastard!" Swish!! Annie rushed forward, grabbed the Hallucigenia by the neck, and raised his fist high.

He still maintained an indifferent expression, and even a mocking smile appeared on his cold face.

Annie's raised fist could not fall in the end, because a strong hand had firmly grasped her wrist.

The familiar force made Annie pause slightly. Panic, fear, joy... a complex mix of emotions swirled in her heart. Cautiously, like a fledgling bird about to hatch, she slowly turned her head and saw her "world".

Under the azure light shining through the Paths, the Black Hair youth's face appeared exceptionally gentle, his deep black Black Eyes brimming with the joy and affection of their reunion, and his tall figure almost a head taller than Annie.

The moment Ani saw Yago, Annie could no longer contain her emotions. She lunged into Yago's arms, tears streaming down her face, and her sobs echoed through the empty Paths.

"Heh." The Hallucigenia sneered at the touching reunion before it, slowly standing up and brushing the sand off its body. "Was it worth trading your last vestiges of sanity for this brief control of your body? Yago, I still overestimated you. You're much like Eren, just another inferior life form bound by the foolish emotions of humanity."

But the Hallucigenia seemed to be ignored, completely disregarded. Yago just looked at the girl crying in his arms with heartache, a tissue appearing out of nowhere in his hand as he gently wiped away Annie's tears. "Alright, alright, you're a grown-up now, not a little girl anymore. Why are you still crying? If anyone bullies our Annie, just tell me, and I'll definitely teach that bastard a lesson. Be good, don't cry."

Annie, her tears wiped away, gently punched Yago, choking out, "You... you are... the biggest... bastard! Waaah..."

Yago gently patted Annie on the back. "Okay, okay, I am that big jerk. I'll teach myself a lesson right away."

The Hallucigenia: "Tch."

"Alright, Annie, you've worked hard. Leave the rest to me." Yago said softly, comforting Annie. The next second, his Black Eyes shone with an incomparably brilliant light.

Meanwhile, inside the Scarlet Base outside, all the Red-Eyed Intelligent Titan stopped moving at the same time, as if a pause button had been pressed simultaneously. The Rescue Squad members, who had been prepared to be devoured by the Titan, were also shocked by this sudden scene.

Crack! Crack! The only sound came from the Fate Titan on the hundred-meter-tall skeleton. Suddenly, its originally heterochromatic eyes lit up with a scarlet light, and the half of its body attached to the skeleton began to struggle violently.

Crack! Crack! Accompanied by clear cracking sounds, the powerful legs of the Fate Titan broke free from the skeleton, white light flashed on its forearms, and the next second, Hardening claws grabbed the half of the Hallucigenia's body connected to its waist. After an angry roar, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the Hallucigenia was torn apart.

"Roar!!!" The Fate Titan roared to the sky, a roar that shook the very soul. Whoosh!! The next second, a pair of broad, enormous wings pierced through flesh and rose from behind the Fate Titan.

With a slight flap of its wings, the Fate Titan soared into the air and then roared down.

Bang! Pieck's vision went black, and when she came to her senses, she found herself suddenly on top of a mountain of flesh, with Hardening rising around her and firmly enveloping her body. "Where am I? Heaven?" But soon, Pieck came to her senses and realized that she seemed to be on the back of a flying Titan.

Before Pieck could think too much, the Fate Titan, flapping its wings, had already grabbed all the Rescue Squad members from the motionless pile of Titan and put them on its back in the blink of an eye, then flew straight towards the edge of the Scarlet Base.

"Boss Yago!? You're back?" Still a little dazed, Aili reacted and shouted in surprise, but the Fate Titan didn't respond. The Fate Titan, which could fly, quickly flew to the edge of the Scarlet Base in the blink of an eye.

But the Scarlet Base was practically half-buried at that moment; there was no way they could get out from there.

But the next second, a shocking scene unfolded: the earth suddenly Transformation, and Hardening crystal pillars rose up strangely, quickly pushing aside all obstacles in front of the Fate Titan and forming a Crystal -like road until it finally blocked the massive Refined Steel gate of the Scarlet Base.

Without pausing, the Fate Titan raised its hand, and then something even more shocking happened: the Fate Titan's arm twisted and gradually formed a head—a deformed gourd-shaped head— the Red Fire Titan!?

"Roar!" A super-intense pillar of fire, thousands of degrees hot, crashed down and slammed into the Refined Steel gate.

As the steel door continued to melt, a ray of sunlight gradually seeped in from the outside.
