On a ruined street, various houses laid tattered and torn, and one after another, Pure Titans with strange expressions on their faces roamed the street aimlessly, searching for humans.
With body sizes ranging from a few to tens of meters and their bizarre expressions, the place indeed resembled hell itself.
A Pure Titan’s only purpose in life is to devour the owner of an intelligent Titan to become human again, but since they can’t distinguish one, they hunt humans indiscriminately.
It was extremely creepy.
"Is this the world you come from?"
Yang Guo surveyed the aimless Titans within the city, their uncanny expressions, and the density of the creatures, and he seemed to sigh. Experience tales at NovelHub.Côm
"Yes, a world like hell,"
Mikasa’s expression was extremely cold, as if Eren’s death hadn’t affected her in the slightest.
"But, this place is also rich in Titans! Once we’ve killed all the Titans here, our strength will be enough to avenge the dead!"
Zhang Hao, now bald and draped in a kasaya, was also seething with murderous intent, having taken an extreme path.
To kill in order to protect life! He was still too compassionate and soft-hearted!
This time the Martial World defense squad, led by him, ended up in such a mess.
A violent explosion knocked them all unconscious, leaving them only to vaguely hear the sickening laughter of the Pioneers in their dying moments and the shadow of Eren’s death.
As the oldest among the survivors, Zhang Hao immediately felt the weighty burden on his shoulders and instead of choosing to return, they opted to come to the world of the Titans to enhance their power!
Even in death, they would have their revenge!
Ymir didn’t say much; unlike those Chosen Ones who were blessed with destiny, her survival depended entirely on the regenerative power of Titans, and previously no one knew she was one of them.
But Armin looked at them with worry in his eyes, especially at Mikasa, having no idea what she was really thinking.
He just felt that something was very wrong with her.
"You don’t need to worry about me, I was mentally prepared for Eren’s death."
Mikasa’s tone was flat, as if she read Armin’s mind.
After drinking the Titan spinal fluid, Eren’s life was limited. After years of training with the Training Corps, he had less than a decade left.
But Mikasa couldn’t accept that Eren, who had finally found a normal life goal and stepped out of the shadows, no longer bound by the past, had died so suffocatingly on the way!
The liberated bird, freed from its shackles, was unforgivably shot down the moment it left the cage!
However, at this moment, their expressions suddenly changed, and they turned to look towards the massive gap in the city’s defenses.
Suddenly, lightning flashed, and several distinctively featured Titans appeared there.
And each of the Titans could actually speak human language.
"Pieck! Have you lost your mind?"
"What are you doing?"
"Damn it! I knew something was off with you on the way here!"
The Titans’ voices were deafening, allowing them all to hear clearly.
Upon seeing traces of the Female Titan and the Armored Titan, they all grew tense.
"It’s the Pioneers, probably those who have purchased the power of Titans coming over,"
Yang Guo and Armin quickly made the connection, having already known about the Pioneers, and immediately came to a conclusion.
They also turned to Mikasa and said,
"Mikasa, don’t be rash; they probably didn’t kill Eren."
"I know, but I feel that Eren is over there... I feel that Eren is not dead yet..."
Mikasa stared blankly in that direction, her tone revealing disbelief, as if she thought it was just an illusion!
Unlike the Pioneers who could make human sounds, only a Titan’s roar responded to them.
Suddenly, a massive figure far exceeding the normal size range of a Titan began to emerge.
Bone structures materialized out of thin air, and a deformed, gigantic body started to rise from the ground.
Even the Colossal Titan seemed tiny compared to this skeletal Titan.
The once majestic city wall seemed puny beneath the behemoth made of what seemed like massive ribs.
The mere air currents from its transformation instantly blew away the other Titans nearby!
The terrifying mass generated winds that leveled rows of houses, reducing them to flat ground!
Even from their distant location, Mikasa and the others felt a gust of wind rush over them.
The Titan was like a mountain range!
The critical thing was that atop the Titan’s head dangled the head of the Attack Titan, and it was Eren’s likeness!
Because the head was relatively small compared to its deformed and gigantic body, it looked grotesquely out of proportion.
After the transformation, everything seemed to go haywire.
Merely transforming had blown the others away, but now it kept sticking out its tongue, twisting its head around, and roaring repeatedly, occasionally muttering some incomprehensible gibberish.
You could vaguely hear nonsensical phrases like "Go away!" "Don’t want!" "Who are you?"
Seeing that head, everyone’s faces turned pale.
"How could this happen?"
They were completely stunned, clueless as to why things were .
Zhang Hao had witnessed Eren being killed with his own eyes!
He was now utterly confused. What’s going on? What happened?
"Regardless, we must help Eren now!"
Mikasa’s face hardened as she picked up the ODM gear they had switched to after entering the city, combining it with her light body movements, she dashed towards the direction of the arisen giant!
