Disclaimer to avoid stealing credits: Lightsworn is referred in the Yugioh franchise. Also, the three dragons are also from Yugioh: the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, the Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon, and the Lightsworn's Judgment Dragon. On this chapter and the previous chapter, Anastasia the Peacocks Sin of Remorse is another OC based on the Seven Deadly Sins by my Amino friend Rika.

Eren thought that it was Cecelia as the voice is similar to her own. But it's not the Cecelia that she normally would look like as the dust cleared away a bit. It is true that it is her, but she's in a completely different look. Instead of black, it's fuller and longer with the colors of silver-white and lightly blue tints at the ends of her hair. Her left eye is light-blue with silver and her right eye is as gold as the sun. She wears an elegant corset-like jumpsuit, white stockings, and light-blue slip-on shoes. She has a pair of white powerful dragon wings and matching colored dragon tail as she still wears the one half of the red amulet around her neck. This is one of her many secrets about herself: she's not just the Redemption Keyblade Master. She's also the Lightsworn hybrid born with an immense amount of magic that makes her rivaled up to godhood. Besides such feats, even her five senses are heightened in this form. It's proven when she flew in a spiral around the leg from the kick that the Female Titan tried to execute when using the Hardening ability to crush her bones. That kick was a miss as Cecelia made a quick flight into the air and swooped down in an aerial of a spin. She powered herself with magic as her right foot was out for the kick: "Sacred Dragon...Spiral Kick!" The Female Titan tried to dodge as her arms aren't fully healed, but the spinning kick in an aerial ace by form knocked the head back and caused the forehead to bleed. This also caused a massive amount of lightning shocks that are heavenly before that Female Titan was being sent backwards into four huge trees. By that time, Abigail called out as she and Alexandra got to him: "Eren! Are you okay?!" Eren nodded while trying to calm himself down: "I'm fine! Eld is dead...but everyone else is safe." Alexandra looked up as soon as another ability was called out: "Lightsworn...Dragon Fist!" As Cecelia's fist is met with the punch from the Female Titan after the arms are now fully healed, more of the heaven's lightning surged from Cecelia's punch and into the arm of that foe from the fist and up to the shoulders until the shock blew up in her face. Flying upwards, Cecelia stretched her arms to the sides across and a bright light of conjuring magic appeared as she grabbed onto her weapons: the Redemption Keyblade and one other that's called the Lightsworn Keyblade that's white and golden with the angelic design to represent the traits of such a godly clan. She folded her dragon wings to gain a boost of speed downwards and attacked in the signature style like Levi. The Redemption Keyblade releases the shocks of white lightning and the Lightsworn Keyblade of heaven's lightning in sunlight's gold when she starts to cut all over the body. The Female Titan has to cover the nape of her neck after being blinded of her injured eyes again as she tumbled backwards against the tree. Alexandra thought in shock as she, Abigail, Eren, and everyone began to watch: "Is that...Cecelia? She's different...stronger...and faster! That Female Titan didn't even have the time to harden or regenerate!"

Cecelia said out as she stretched her hand out: "Time Stop!" What happened next is when three waves of magic emits onto the Female Titan and not even that Titan can move an inch. Ban appeared as he landed on one of the trees as Cecelia is using her dragon wings to stay above the ground: "You stopped time for thirty seconds for a reason, huh?" Abigail said in shock when watching this entire scene unfolding: "Wait...stopping time? T-That's impossible! No one is able to do that!" The Redeeming Dragon herself nodded: "That's right. The Hardening ability isn't in effect, but her skin is still tough. What I need is her body to be weakened so my next attack will break through. That way, you can capture the culprit from the nape of the neck." Ban grinned as he jumped off from high above and successfully landed on his feet with his Courehouse weapon ready to be used: "I'll take down the exterior of the body with my high speed barrage of attacks!" The feats are impossible as not even Alexandra herself could do those feats let alone having magic to do the impossible. But once again, even she was underestimated as Cecelia starts to gather up magic into her two Keyblades. At the same time, Ban releases his high-speed attacks using the Crazy Hunt. It's a technique used by Ban to extract the vital organs of multiple enemies simultaneously. In this case, it rapid cuts down the powerfully thick skin while preventing the Hardening ability from taking place. From what's going on with Cecelia, there were three different dragon roars as she's getting stronger than before with the whole forest shaking much despite that she's in the air from her dragon wings. There were three dragon spirits that seemed to aiding her: a silver dragon with azure-colored eyes, a white dragon with piercing sky blue eyes, and a majestic dragon of white and gold as if being summoned from the heavenly gates. By that time, Diane arrived as Levi is still on her head, Gowther sitting on her left shoulder, King is flying on her right. Erwin, Erica, Axel, and Miche have also arrived and were in shock when Ban is executing in the same high speed of attacks like Levi at that very moment.

"Sacred Lightsworn...Dragon Strike!"

Cecelia released the huge blast of white lightning, sun's fire, and heaven's lightning with pure magic from her two Keyblades as she strikes forward. Diane and King held back Levi for this reason: the combined element attacks of magic rapidly and severely destroyed most of the body as both hands are dropped down and the nape of the neck is exposed. Cecelia called out: "Ban! Now's the time! Go for it!" Levi's eyes widened as he recognized her voice and looked onward. Ban grinned and performed this technique called Fox Hunt. This is best used in conjunction with a far-reaching weapon. Boasting pinpoint accuracy, the technique allows Ban to swiftly grab hold of an object and pull it towards himself while seemingly bypassing any obstructions. In this case, he managed to capture the culprit inside the nape of the Female Titan as the body is rapidly evaporating and decaying. Much to the shock of every cadet, the enemy that Ban had captured is Annie herself. Alexandra fell onto her knees in disbelief as Cecelia flew down and landed on her feet to walk up to Ban who's now carrying the unconscious Annie. Before the two of them could speak, Levi used his gear and got up to about a foot in front of them. There was no way that Cecelia could transform back to normal and be in denial. She might as well face the consequences of her actions. But as she looked up to meet his gaze, she was taken aback by surprise. She was expecting anger, but there were none at all. He took a few steps forward and reached out his left hand to tuck away a bit of her silver-white hair behind her left ear. She was about to speak, but he pulled her forward and right into his arms of which even surprised Abigail and Eren. Normally, Levi wouldn't even have a cute girl to be this close to him. But at this moment, it looked as if he doesn't care of what Cecelia looks like as he said this to her: "I don't know what you're truly capable of. But I'm glad that you're safe, Cecelia." On the way back, most of the cadets are on their horses to get back home. Eld's body are repaired back together by King's inherit magic called Disaster of which gives him over life and death in nature. But it's unfortunate that not even Merlin the Boar's Sin of Gluttony can't bring Eld back to life. The body that is later preserved for a proper funeral is in one of the seven rooms in this tavern called the Boar's Hat of which this huge green creature of a pig is walking alongside the horses joined in a group outside. One by one, Cecelia introduced even Levi and Eren with her eight friends as she turned to the last member: "...and this is Anastasia. She's the Peacock's Sin of Remorse and the newest member of the team."

Levi was silent at this time as he turned to Cecelia as he sees her as her normal human self. He asked as he sips on his cup of tea the usual way: "So let me get this straight. The eight of you are these Deadly Sins and you know Cecelia's parents?" Merlin the Boar's Sin of Gluttony responded: "I know that it's a lot to take in. And I can understand that because magic isn't so common here in your world." Erwin spoke up after sitting next to his sister: "For one I believe it to be true. Otherwise, I never would have been reunited with my long lost sister again." Miche added in when turning around from looking out the window: "It is bizarre. That much is certain. But if it's for the betterment for humanity, I'm down for it." Erwin then said when looking onto the opposite direction: "I also want to thank you for protecting Erica all this time. I never would have thought that I would see her again." Axel chuckled before grinning: "Hey. It's not a problem at all. Even if she's not related, I'm not about to leave her on her own like that. Now, the only problem so far is how to keep up with you and your cadets." Erwin chuckled along with a smile of his own, "You'll be able to catch up soon enough." The green pig flew over the walls and landed in the field close to the training grounds before digging to be buried underneath for the tavern itself to be on the ground. As the sun is setting down, Alexandra was silent through the entire journey back. She can't understand why Annie would kill Eld and then tried to capture Eren but failed to do so. Gowther spoke up as he walks outside to meet the others: "Annie Leonhart is ordered to capture Eren by a man named Zeke Yeager." Levi was the first to stand up on his feet and demanded: "How the Hell do you get that information? And how would I know that you're making it up?" It's quite understandable that he could be skeptical, especially with everything that has been going on. Cecelia answered to him, "That's because Gowther's Invasion magic allows him to look into the memories of his targets. He can even alter those memories if given the chance." Erwin even knows better than to accuse Cecelia of lying because she inherits her mother's honesty and her father's dedication in her blood. Jean spoke up and said out: "Hold it. So you can look into people's memories? If so, are there any of these traitors in our nest?" Gowther said this as he's tipping his glasses a bit: "Sorry. But I'm ordered by Captain Levi to only seek into certain memories. Got to respect the captain." Jean crossed his arms against his chest and muttered: "What a lame excuse. Don't you care about humanity?" Cecelia steps in and responds to him: "Actually, Gowther is a doll sort of speak. Think of it like being the Tin Man who longs for a heart in the story." Jean scoffed with a grunt: "Then, I don't buy into this bullshit of him reading Annie's memories."

Just then, a bit of brightly blue magic entered into the necks of Jean, Eren, and Levi. That came from Gowther's index finger of his right hand and Cecelia shakes her head when standing in between Erwin and Miche: "Welp! This isn't going to be good." Before anyone could ask, Gowther turned to Jean and said out: "Jean? You said that you like Cecelia as a reliable friend. But you actually have dirty fantasies about her as well as on Diane when you first met her." Diane's face went brightly red and King looks like he's about to kill someone as Jean stammered: "W-What the Hell?! I-I-I do not think like that!" Gowther continued on speaking from here: "You even was hoping that she would be a year younger than you so you can-" He got interrupted by the plummeting fists coming from Diane as she was shouting out loud: "What is wrong with you, Gowther?! Why do you have to be so nosy and mean?! Even a gentleman has much of the rights as a lady to have some secrets, you jerk!" Abigail was shocked, but Rika couldn't help but laugh as she was floating in the air next to King who's watching the whole thing. Erwin turned to the side and asked, "So it's crucial that we don't have any dirty secrets, isn't it?" Cecelia answered with a weak chuckle: "Just as long as it would never include anything of a betrayal, I suppose." Gowther is surprisingly not injured as the dusts cleared out. He's only dirty on his clothes as he continued on speaking: "As for you, Eren Yeager...during the first day since Cecelia came to the headquarters, you were curious about her." Eren replied as he helped Gowther on his feet out of the hole on the ground: "That's right. Ever since I heard that her parents were two of the best cadets besides Captain Levi, I do try to stay on her good side." Gowther added as he starts to clean his glasses: "But during that time, you thought that she's around your age. Thinking that if it is the case, you might try asking her out on a date." That's when Eren's body tensed up and Levi was giving him the death glare. At the same time, Armin and Abigail tried to hold back Mikasa as Abigail herself couldn't stop laughing a bit. Alexandra turned to the young man and said in a worried tone: "Eren...you might want to run." Abigail said to Mikasa while trying to fight back her laughter: "Calm down Mikasa. She's probably isn't interested in Eren anyways!"

Gowther starts to look into his glasses as he speaks again: "Captain Levi? You are known as Humanity's Strongest Soldier. You are also a trusted ally and friend towards Ryu and Sayuri of who are Cecelia's parents. Hmm..." Levi looked onto the side as Gowther continued to speak: "Maybe, it's the alcohol Ban gave me is clouding my mind. But...I see that Ryu was talking to you about Cecelia openly." Levi's eyes widened a bit as he spoke up: "That's right. It was last year when he was alive. He couldn't stop saying of how proud he is of her." Gowther added this in his usually distinctively emotionless tone: "But what Ryu was trying to do of which you didn't know was that he's hoping to plant in something in your head that Cecelia could your ideal wife." It was now Alexandra's turn to laugh because that memory was never mentioned and Levi looked like he's about to go for the kill. But then, he was pulled back by this sudden warm embrace. He turned a bit to the side to see that it was Cecelia who did so out of nowhere. He could smell the scented oil of waterlilies and apple blossoms, but he didn't pull away from her grasp. Instead, he seemed to calm down and looked into her eyes to subtly and silently thank her for easing down his nerves and stress. Unfortunately, this wouldn't be the time to relax just yet. Tonight is a funeral for Eld and a few other fallen comrades before him. And with Annie being captured and restrained, it's only a matter of time before something of a twist would take place.
