[?: On that day Eren pledged to exterminate all self-conscious living beings outside of the New Eldia Empire, but even he wasn't cruel enough to fulfill that threat. In the end, he decided there were only three types of people in the world, the Free, the Slaves, and the Puppeteers. The "free" were people who acted on their own volition, and were willing to stand up for their beliefs, the slaves allowed others to control their lives, and spent most of their lives mindlessly following orders or copying others, and the "puppeteers" manipulated the "slaves" to achieve their own agenda's. The "Puppeteers" and "slaves" Eren hated with his whole heart, and were killed, while the "free" he allowed to live.]
[?: The New Eldia Empire, using the Witch Genes Eren inherited, invaded multiple other worlds over the course of two years, starting with Satella's. To each of the multiple worlds they invaded, the Eldians brought about what soon became known as the Yeager's Purge, where they slaughtered anyone Eren deemed a "slave" or a "puppet" and released the "free". Because of the hatred they felt for the world, many of the of the Eldians felt that releasing some of their defeated enemies just because they were "free" was bull-crap, but none dared to challenge Eren's ideals.]
[?: As they travelled from realm to realm, the Eldian's noticed multiple consistencies within the worlds' "magic" and the worlds' ancient legends, and after purging their sixth world, they found a manuscript that confirmed their theories. "Our world was founded in ancient times by three Holy Gods, whose power greatly exceeded that of deities, and forged our world with it. They were, beginning with the strongest respectively, the God of Order, the God of Chaos, and the God of Death. Each of these Holy beings forged the Seven Attributes of power." The manuscript continued to describe this power for quite a long time, so I'll do my best to summarize.]
[?: If I were to sum-up all the world's laws into one law, it would say X = X. That basically means 'everything is equal to its self and not equal to any other thing'. Because of this law nothing can come from nothing, and something can't turn into nothing. Because the universe runs on this rule, any kind of power that exists must come from somewhere, which is where the Seven Attributes of Power come in.]
[?: The Seven Attributes are Steins, a power that uses the matter and energy in the world you're in. In other words, it's science.]
[?: Malice, a small fragment of the God of Chaos' soul that is in the spirit of all living things, including plants. It grows the more hatred a person holds, and its only objective is to bring chaos.]
[?: Titan, a realm exists that houses demonic flesh and blood with the desire to devour self-conscious living things. By linking a coordinate to a person's soul, a "key" can be used to open a portal to this realm, releasing one of these demons.]
[?: Arcane, this Attribute generates power by expelling mana, basically the blood of the soul, through a person's gate, the eye of the soul.]
[?: Spirit-Arts, this Attribute's power comes from a spirit in the spirit realm that concentrates the mana in the air rather than the soul for the user to expel from his/her gate. The Witch genes are experimented spirits that were dragged into the physical realm and had their power amplified.]
[?: Esper. Certain individuals are born with an extension or mutation (or quirk) on their soul that allows them to alter reality, creating a personal-reality (PR). Usually they are given a sixth-sense that lets them measure 3D space, so they can plot their elements route through space with precise equations.]
[?: Neil, very little is known about this power, but it is said to be the strongest of the seven.]
[?: Eren and the Eldian's began to search for a way to master each of the Seven Attributes as they continued their purge for two years. The New Eldian Empire moved in to purge their seventh realm, and it was then that the Deliverance made a stand that even Eren couldn't ignore.]

Alida Schultz held the handles of her ODM gear close to her chest as she made her way aboard the air-craft. Something felt off about this mission, but Schultz couldn't put her finger on exactly what it was. Since graduating from the 111th Cadet Corps, this was her first battle, so maybe that had something to do with it. But the plan of action was simple, maybe a little too simple; drop in, secure the facility's left-wing, and await further instruction.
Their target was in the seventh realm, in a small facility on a smaller island in an ocean called the Atlantic. Apparently, the reason such a small island was the target was because once a year, the United Nations, a group that held all this worlds' nations' leaders met here once a year in an annual conference. The largest threat they had to avoid was the International Militia, a group of professional individual espers, or as they called espers in this realm, quirks.
Alida felt incredibly tense, and she could tell that everyone aboard the aircraft was too. After signing in, refilling on blades and ammunition, and grabbing an extra canister of gas for her gear, Alida took a seat in the aircraft next to Ruth Ruodrik, her only friend from the 111th that was placed in the same division as her. Alida noticed that Ruth was trembling, and as she tried to think of something to say that could relieve some of the tension in the air, she brushed her burnt-brown hair from her face and noticed that her own hands were shaking just as much. Before she could think of something to say, the division commander Chief Surma walked into the aircraft with the last of the division, and soon after the engines roared.
As the last person took their seat and the aircraft jolted and began to move toward the portal King Yeager had opened. Chief Surma, who was usually critical and intense, took a step out of character and began to gently hand out small canteens that contained a medicine that he said would ease their stress. Ruth gladly excepted, while Alida felt that she might end up puking if she drank anything. At her refusal, Surma made a "tsk" noise with his tongue and angerly strutted off, a sudden change in character that both girls couldn't help but smile at.
[Ruth: I guess he can only be nice for a few seconds a year]
[Alida: yeah]
The aircraft picked up speed as it ran down the runway alongside three other aircraft, and soon the passengers felt the cargo-plane rise off the floor. Alida stared at the ceiling of the aircraft and squeezed her arms to try to calm her nerves, while Ruth opened and drank from the small canteen. A few minutes later the fleet of aircraft flew through the portal.

The conference room had fallen into chaos; with the downfall of All Might, the threat of the Symbol of Peace no longer loomed over criminals' heads. As a result, the global crime rates have already begun to sky-rocket, and the world's leaders were discussing the best solution to this problem when the doors flew open and a pro-hero from International Militia came charging in.
[Pro-Hero: Everyone stay calm and make your way to the exits immediately!]
Confused, the everyone in the room turned towards the hero standing in the entrance, while the secretaries and body guards began attempting to bring leaders to the exit in an orderly manner. However, before the first person could leave the room, the sound of gunfire rang throughout the rooms entrance and the hero standing near the entrance activated his telekinesis quirk but was too late. Within a few seconds, his upper torso was torn from the rest of his body and hurled into the center of the room by an invisible force, leaving behind the hero's lower abdomen and legs, as well as a trail of intestines. Immediately afterward, twelve soldiers, armed with blades and guns, flew into the room with ODM gear, and shot anyone who was armed and then perched onto the wall.
And then Eren walked in.

[?: Hey, hey, Alida, you need to stay awake!]
Alida awoke to some shaking her. She could hear the desperation in the voice's owner's tone, so opened her eyes. After a few seconds of her eyes adjusting to the light, she could make out Ruth's face above her. Judging by the angle of Ruth's face and the amount of movement she felt, Alida concluded that she was being carried.
[Alida: U-urm, R-Ruth, what's happening?]
[Ruth: O-oh, Alida your awake!]
After making this exclamation Ruth, who appeared to be running down a corridor, sprinted into a nearby room and hid behind some book-cases. After setting her friend down, Ruth explained the situation.
[Ruth: O-okay, so, after we launched the attack, we blew up their communication with the bombs, and tried to pull out, but we were ambushed by these really Really REALLY tough guys in lab coats. One was, like, freezing the floor and then the other threw a bomb or something, but the explosion was kinda weird. Anyways, the bomb knocked you out and we got separated from Surma]
As Alida sat up and tried to digest Ruth's words, she felt a burning pain on her head and placed her hand on her head. She could feel a liquid start running down her arm. Blood. Ruth, after apologizing for not being able to treat it earlier, tore a piece of her cape off and started rapping it around Alida's head. As Alida continued to put pressure on her wound, she inquired further on their situation.
[Alida: Um, do you know where everyone else is?]
[Ruth: S-sorry, no.]
Alida, despite how dizzy and disoriented she felt, slowly rose to her feet and smiled at Ruth.
[Alida: Don't worry about it, we can find them together!]
After seeing Alida's determination, Ruth smiled back and nodded. However, just before they could turn, they were greeted an unfamiliar voice.
[?: Finally, found'cha! Hey, Dime! They're over here!]
Suddenly appearing in front of the only way out of the room was one of the men in lab coats Ruth mentioned. And not long after, his partner, who he referred to as Dime, appeared as well.
[Dime: You damned terrorists!]
In the blink of an eye, Dime tossed something near the bookshelf they were hiding behind, and Ruth shot her ODM gear into a corner and pulled them into it. Just before they hit the corner, Dime's bomb detonated, and just as Ruth had said, the bombs explosion was weird. The explosion's blast radius itself was surprisingly small, however, the amount of damage it dealt in the radius was incredible. The bookshelf they were hiding behind as well as the floor tile within the radius were completely disintegrated, and all that was left was a small crater.
[?: Hey, you bastard, we're supposed to try to cause as little property damage as possible! Pay attention to what you're doing!]
[Dime: Says the guy who literally turned the floor into dry-ice! And given the situation, is property damage really what we should be concerned about?]
As the two heroes argued, Alida struggled to her feet then rushed to Ruth, who suffered from a head-on collision with the wall. Alida had just enough time to check on Ruth, who was just a little dazed, before the heroes' attention turned back to them.
[Dime: Hey, this is our last warning. if you guys drop your weapons now, we won't have to use forc-]
[Ruth: Uaargh, Aah! Help me take it off! Hurry before it explodes!]
Dime was suddenly interrupted by Ruth's obnoxious yelling as she struggled to take off her ODM. At first Alida was shocked by this turn of events, but knowing both her friend and enough of how the ODM gear works to know that it exploding was almost impossible, Alida soon caught on to what Ruth was scheming.
Pretending to panic, Alida quickly undid Ruth's ODM gear, while the two heroes stared on, almost confused by this new development. Alida finished undoing the ODM gear and threw it across the room as fast as she could, then holding onto Ruth, fired her own ODM gear into the hall, flew past the heroes and smashed into a wall. The heroes immediately turned toward the girls, but after Alida yelled for them to take cover, there was a split second, a single moment where the heroes looked away from them and back into the room. Alida used this to her advantage, and soon the girls were flying away from the heroes, who shouted all sorts of colorful words as they pursued them.
"Now all we have to do now is meet up with the rest of the division, and then we'll be safe!" were the thoughts going through Alida's mind as she winded down a corner. But, unfortunately, this is a cruel, unforgiving world, and things don't always go the way you hope. Alida's flight through these halls is a perfect reminder of these terrible facts, because in the moment she felt the safest, she lost everything.

[?: So, let me get this straight, you broke into this island, murdered multiple people and disabled our security communications, and then walk up here and request to legally murder a huge percentage of the global population in the name of a "purge". Is that it?]
[Eren: I didn't ask because I wanted permission. I asked because I want to know if you will get in my way.]
[?: You're a lunatic!]
[?: Of course we will get in your way! The whole world will try and stop you!]
[Eren: sigh* I'll take that to heart. *turning around* Kill them all.]
As Eren turned to leave, he heard multiple gunshots go off, followed by multiple crashes. Although he truly didn't care what choice they made, he felt it was a shame that he had to kill so many great leaders. Eren turned to look at the room one last time, and to his surprise, his men had been taken out by a gun-slinging, Pro Hero before they could kill a single person. The Pro, Snipe, had been on an overseas mission in New York, and as soon as he received the distress signals multiple people had sent through their phones, he came rushing to help. Apparently, he came in through the exit during Eren's speech.
Snipe fired six bullets before Eren could even think, hitting both his legs, his arms and his chest. Eren crashed to the floor, and as he stared at his blood form a large pool around himself, he smiled.
After all, he could still win this fight. This was why he put up those precautions in the first place.
Despite the pain Eren stood up, shocking even Snipe, and turned to look at them. Eren's expression was one of sorrow. At the end of the day, they're all just ignorant pieces of shit, and Eren pitied them, not because of their inevitable deaths, or because of their lack of freedom. Eren pitied them because of how meaningless they each of them made their own lives.
They truly are pieces of shit...

Izuku Midoriya stood in the common-room of the school dorms not believing what he was seeing on the television. Is it a Quirk? No, it can't be. No Quirk can be that strong. But if it's not a Quirk just what are those things?!
Izuku stared at the News Channel in disbelief as the title flashed across the screen again.
Breaking News; man-eating giants appear at the Annual UN Conference
