The Pointed-Ear Titan seemed to have exhausted its strength and collapsed to the ground, allowing four or five Titan to gnaw on it.

Armin couldn't bear to look at the Pointed-Ear Titan. After all, it was he who had suggested luring the Titan here, and seeing the Pointed-Ear Titan's miserable state now, Armin felt terrible.

Reiner, Bertholdt, and Annie also came up behind Yago. Except for Annie, who seemed a little absent-minded, Reiner and Bertholdt both had very serious expressions.

"That Titan is special. Perhaps we should help it," Reiner said hesitantly.

Jean and Mark walked over at that moment. Hearing Reiner's words, Jean frowned and said, "Reiner, what are you saying? That's Titan! How could you want to help Titan?"

Reiner: "But that Titan is helping us kill other Titan!"

Armin nodded in agreement; he also didn't want to see the Pointed-Ear Titan die.

Bertholdt chimed in, "Reiner is right, perhaps that Titan could become our ally."

Sweating profusely, he exclaimed, "Hey, are you kidding me? How could Titan become an ally?"

Yago stared intently at the Pointed-Ear Titan on the field.

"Roar!" The Titan's terrifying roar startled everyone. They saw that the Pointed-Ear Titan's arms had been torn off by the other Titan, and the cuts were emitting a large amount of white steam.

Unexpectedly, the seemingly exhausted Pointed-Ear Titan suddenly sprang up, shaking off the several seven-meter-tall Titan wrapped around him, opened his huge mouth and bit down hard on the back of a Titan's neck, tearing the Titan's neck open with a forceful tug.

"Roar!!" Before the Pointed-Ear Titan could even stand up, a fifteen-meter-tall Titan suddenly appeared behind it and pounced on Pointed-Ear Titan, aiming to bite its Pointed-Ear Titan.

"Not good!" Reiner and Bertholdt were about to act immediately, Mikasa drew her Blades, and even the dazed Annie subconsciously prepared for battle.

But Yago reacted even faster; he had been anticipating this, and he saved the Titan!

Bang! The anchor shot out rapidly.

Whoosh! Yago, moving at full speed, was like a bolt of lightning, swiftly slicing across the Titan's nape. Tear! The Titan's nape flesh spun and fell away.

With a burst of energy, Yago's Blades flashed, and several smaller Titan around the Pointed-Ear Titan fell to the ground. Yago, his face smeared with Titan blood, landed on the back of the Pointed-Ear Titan's neck.

"So fast!" Everyone stared in shock at Yago's nimble movements, but Yago had no time to pay attention to Yago.

With a serious look in his eyes, Yago stared at the back of the Titan's neck in front of him. Through the subtle vibrations, he understood that the giant was about to emerge.

The next moment, a large bulge seemed to appear on the back of the Pointed-Ear Titan, as if something was trying to break free.

Without hesitation, Yago swung his sword, the sharp Blades slicing open the Titan's nape. A huge amount of steam billowed out, and a low, human-like roar reached everyone's ears.

As the steam that had obscured their view gradually dissipated, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief, as if they had witnessed something utterly impossible.

Mikasa and Armin were particularly shocked. Armin said, trembling, "This, how is this possible? Titan, there's a human on the back of Titan's neck?!"

As the steam dissipated, a human figure roared and struggled as it emerged from the gap that Yago had created.

The Titan's nerve fibers were still connected to the man's face. Yago stared at that familiar face so close to his own, and even though Yago was somewhat prepared, he was still stunned. "Eren?!"

Emerging from the back of the Titan's neck was Eren, whom everyone thought had perished inside the Titan's belly. After emerging from the back of the neck, Eren closed his eyes and collapsed weakly. Yago quickly supported Eren, his mind momentarily blank.

"Eren!!" Mikasa leaped down from the tower as if she had gone mad, running and rushing to Eren's side. She snatched Eren from Yago's arms, who was supporting Eren, and looked at the boy with his eyes closed in front of her with teary eyes. She pressed her ear to Eren's chest, listening to Eren strong heartbeat. Mikasa could no longer hold back and hugged Eren, crying.

Mikasa considered Eren her everything. Losing Eren meant losing everything to her. Until the moment Eren died, Mikasa felt as if she had died with him, and she was left only with instinct. Now that Eren had suddenly returned to her embrace, Mikasa hugged Eren tightly, as if she were hugging the whole world. After this, she would never let go easily again!

Yago stood awkwardly to the side, watching the scene unfold. On the other side, after confirming that it was indeed Eren emerging from the back of the Titan's neck, Armin sat down with tears in his eyes. Knowing that his childhood friend hadn't perished in the Titan's jaws was a great comfort to him.

Jean and Mark stared blankly at Eren below. "Hey, Mark, am I dreaming? That Titan... is it Eren?"

Mark nodded with difficulty, "Yes, you're not mistaken, that's Eren."

Looking around at the many nearly evaporated Titan corpses, he said, "So, Eren killed all these Titan..."

Beside him, Reiner, Bertholdt, and Annie all had strange looks in their eyes, staring at Eren with gloomy expressions, but also a hint of surprise.

"We didn't find the Founding Titan, but we unexpectedly found the lost Titan Power. What a surprise," Reiner murmured to himself.

Yago and Mikasa carried the unconscious Eren back to the tower. Yago frowned, looking at the expressions of the people around him. Besides them, several Training Corps and Garrison Soldiers were also looking at them with complicated expressions.

They had clearly seen Eren emerge from the Titan's body, and their eyes were filled with intense fear and powerful killing intent as they looked at Eren.

Yago sensed something was wrong; Eren was probably in real trouble. Human suspicion was something far more terrifying than Titan.

For a fleeting moment, Yago considered taking Eren with him. Eren might die if he stayed here; what a cruel irony it would be if Eren died at the hands of humans instead of Titan.

But Yago ultimately didn't act impulsively, because deep down, Yago himself was somewhat selfish. Through Eren, Yago could also test how people treated humans who could transform into Titan.

Unless absolutely necessary, Yago does not want to break with humanity; he does not want to betray his former self; he should use this power to protect everything.

There was no time to think too much now. There were still quite a few Titan slowly gathering around, Yago and the others decisively led Eren to retreat to the top of the city wall.

Unfortunately, as soon as they reached the city wall, several Garrison Soldiers armed with Flintlock stopped them. Yago knew that what was coming was bound to happen. Now, how would humanity treat Eren?

Yago volunteered to go with Eren, and Mikasa and Armin naturally followed as well. The other Training Corps saw Eren emerge from the Titan's body were warned not to spread the news, or they would be held accountable if it caused panic.
