Chen Si climbed onto the walls of Shiganshina District for the first time in ages and gazed out over the abandoned neighborhoods in the distance. Hundreds of Titans now roamed the district, and the Survey Corps' finest were out in full force, slaughtering the defenseless Pure Titans.
Erwin, in his Colossal Titan form, crushed more than a dozen Pure Titans with a single slap. Levi flew onward, killing as he went; everywhere he passed, chunks of nape flesh flew and blood sprayed. Mikasa took on four Titans at once and cut them down with ease. Chris's pupils turned gray, and wherever her gaze fell, Titans killed themselves and dropped dead.
The Levi Squad and the Garrison's Elite Squad each took on a Titan, hacking away with abandon. The Chen Si Squad also worked together to carve a bloody path for Eren. Eren knocked aside every Titan in his way and easily reached Shiganshina District's outer wall. He activated Hardening, and hardening crystal began to spread.
Shiganshina District had officially been reclaimed.
Watching everything unfold before him, Chen Si felt deeply relieved.
The Survey Corps' core veterans are all still alive, and Zeke and Pieck have been captured too. The tragedy won't happen again, will it? Will Eren still stubbornly insist on destroying the world? Everyone can live the lives they want now, right...?
Chen Si stood atop the wall, a breeze brushing over his short bangs. Below him, soldiers fought with all their might amid the Titans' roars.
"Is it really over?" A voice that seemed to come from beyond the endless reaches of space and time reached Chen Si's ears.
The images reflected in Chen Si's pupils began to shift. The scene before him gradually changed, as though he were traveling through space and time.
