''Titans!'' Speech
''Titans!'' Thoughts
The tree of Yggdrasil up-close looked even more impressive than from afar. Even though Willy Tybur had the privilege of appreciating it before—that being exactly one month ago—he now had the opportunity to stand in front of it and really take in its infinite beauty. It was as if the tree itself radiated pure life, the radiance of its roots shining with a warmth that had Willy enraptured. He wanted to reach forward and touch it, but for some reason, he was afraid he might damage or taint it. It was a ludicrous thought. However, it still withheld him from doing so out of respect. His amazement never dwindled, even if the Coordinate he had been teleported into once again seemed devoid of any life.
''It's very pretty, isn't it?'' a voice Willy recognized as the current Founding Titan suddenly spoke up. He didn't immediately turn around to face Eren Yeager, a threat to Marley and possibly the entire world if he decided to activate The Rumbling. This time, Willy wasn't startled by the sudden presence of the teenager. After all, Eren had given him a month to think about his proposition, so he wasn't surprised he was meeting up with him within the Coordinate once more after exactly that amount of time had passed. When he eventually did turn around, Willy respectfully bowed to Eren, who looked exactly like how he had appeared to him a month ago.
''Eren Yeager,'' Willy acknowledged, not unkindly, ''it's a pleasure to meet you once again.'' Willy eyed the tree of Yggdrasil behind him once more. ''And yes, it's gorgeous. To think this tree holds the history of all the Eldians within its roots. It's simply mesmerizing.'' Willy's voice was soft, almost a whisper while a longing sigh escaped his mouth. ''Tell me, Eren Yeager. As the Founding Titan, can you read this tree?''
''I can, to some extent,'' Eren replied evenly. ''To me, the past and the present are clear. However, it's the future where its branches are ever-expanding that I cannot read,'' he revealed, patiently waiting for what Willy would make of that.
The blond man closed his eyes, humming as if deep in thought. He breathed in deeply and held his breath, before exhaling loudly again. ''So, even you can't predict the future, then?''
Eren didn't immediately respond. Instead, he looked at the ever-expanding branches of the great tree as if trying to look into the possible futures that lay ahead. Futures he had avoided by making certain decisions, and unknown futures that were still laying ahead of him. Some were uncertain and others he had experienced before. One thing was for certain in Eren's mind, though. After trying thousands of times, he wasn't going to give up, ever. He was going to liberate the Eldians from the hatred of the world, and in turn, set Ymir free once and for all. ''The Founding Titan is powerful, but it isn't omnipotent. If it was, I would have destroyed the power of the titans and ended this nightmare a long time ago.''
For some reason, Willy didn't want to believe this was Eren's end goal, but he couldn't detect any deception in his voice whenever he spoke. Still, the blond man didn't buy it. He was wary the Coordinate might mess with his perception of things even though he knew he was protected against the Founding Titan's overwhelming influence by his own sister—Lara Tybur. ''It's a shame,'' Willy muttered, ''but even if you could, it would not erase the horrible things our kin did in the past. We bear a heavy guilt that history will never forget.''
''That is true,'' Eren agreed, ''but what happened in the past, has happened. There's nothing we can change about that, so it's time we stop letting that define us Eldians for what we are. What we can change, however, is how we move forward into the future and how future generations of people across the world view us.'' Eren paused, his expression determined. ''Please allow me to save the Eldians. Agree with Marley's immediate surrender, and I'll end this unending cycle of hatred once and for all. The power of the titans will be something of the past, a sin that will be left to be forgotten in history. Marleyans and Eldians will enter an era of prosperity and peace with each other and the surrounding nations.''
Willy's eyes became steely as they bore into Eren's with power and strength that would've intimidated anybody. Then, they became soft again. ''I'm sorry, Eren Yeager, but we, Eldians, were never meant to be. We deserve to have the hatred of the world fall on us and be eradicated in the process. Therefore, I simply cannot accept your offer.''
Eren didn't seem to be fazed by Willy's answer, almost as if he had expected it. ''Yes, Willy,'' Eren replied, ''your false and outdated beliefs indeed deserve to have the hatred of the world fall over them. In turn, I shall have to eradicate you. Marley shall face complete destruction by the thundering steps of a million wall titans. The world shall quake and when people ask why as they cry out in despair, I shall point to you before they get flattened.''
Willy would have shivered at how stone-cold Eren's response was, weren't it for the fact he was going to call Eren's bluff right here and now. ''You won't activate The Rumbling, Eren Yeager. Your goal has always been to save all Eldians. You wouldn't want to kill all the Eldians in the internment zones scattered within Marley, right? Besides, destroying Marley with The Rumbling will turn the whole world against you. You'd be proving everyone right about the nature of Eldians and be walking a path of destruction and repeat all the atrocities our ancestors did in the past,'' he said calmly.
If Willy had expected Eren to back-off, he had assumed entirely wrong. Eren's retort was as cold as it was before. ''The Eldians within the internment zones think we are all devils anyway. If I have to destroy the entire world to save the Eldians, then so be it. You have yourself to thank for the fact of not surrendering peacefully. I suggest you prepare your sister Lara for the onslaught that's coming your way.''
While this scared Willy a little bit, he was still sure that Eren was bluffing. Unless he wasn't, of course, because then he was in deep shit. A chuckle escaped his lips, one that didn't calm down his growing nerves. He wanted to reply, but before he could, Eren had already teleported him out of the Coordinate.
Eren sighed deeply as he was all alone again, the tree of Yggdrasil almost reacting to the visible stress that appeared on his face the moment he dropped his façade. While he knew that Willy had most likely already prepared for war against him with the surrounding nations as his allies, he hadn't been sitting by idly himself. Even though his body screamed at him to hurry, he didn't move yet. Time flowed completely different inside the Coordinate, so he gratefully took advantage of that.
''He didn't accept, did he?'' the soft, feminine voice which could only belong to a young girl rang out through the silence of the Coordinate's endless void. Eren didn't bother turning around, because he knew she was standing right next to him. Her appearance was meek and timid, like that of a weak peasant. Her skin was covered in soot and dust, and she only wore a simple cotton dress that reached down to about her knees and was torn all over. Her once-golden locks of her hair—now almost grey-looking—partially covered her almost lifeless eyes. She was on her knees, building what looked like a castle made out of the sand that seemed to cover the Coordinate and feed the towering tree behind them.
While her appearance radiated that she'd completely given up on everything, her expression and her voice were still filled with a child-like hope as she addressed Eren. The original Founder, Ymir Fritz, had been nothing but a slave ever since she existed only within the Coordinate. Time was meaningless for her as she was forced to do the biddings of the current holder of the Founding Titan, serving to fuel endless wars that eventually brought ruin and misery to the Eldians.
However, that changed completely when she met Eren Yeager, the man with a personality as determined as the Attack Titan itself. Always moving forward, battling for the freedom of his friends and his people, and ultimately, her freedom as well. It had taken Eren some attempts to convince her to work together with him, namely, one timeline where he'd activated The Rumbling and completely decimated all the other nations. It was since then as if a chain was lifted from Ymir's own Curse. Ever since then, every time Eren was sent back, Ymir managed to have Eren retain all of his memories, as well as the power of the titans. She had aided him all the way, and now, after countless attempts, they were at the final crossroad together.
''You know he wasn't going to accept, Ymir. He didn't accept the last ten times we tried, and he didn't accept now, and he won't accept even if we try another ten times, that is just who he is,'' Eren responded, suppressing the sigh that was building up. Over the course of the last years, he'd been in contact with Ymir daily. She had been restoring the memories he had lost every time he'd failed in the past and returned to Ymir, who would then send him back to the day Wall Maria was going to fall with the new information she'd gathered from him. Every time, she would be able to aide Eren a little better and move him one step closer to their ultimate goal of saving as many Eldian lives as possible and setting her free once and for all.
Right now, only the final hurdle remained. Eliminating the elusive War Hammer Titan and defeating Marley without the hatred of the world falling over them. They knew how to accomplish the latter part: getting rid of the Power of the Titans would appease the other nations enough for it not to be a problem anymore. However, they had yet to figure out how to defeat Marley and save the Eldians living inside the internment zones.
''That means we have to go to war again,'' Ymir concluded sadly, idly drawing some windows with one of her fingers in the castle she'd created. Eren knew how much she loathed war. It was one of the reasons he wanted to set her free. The history of Ymir being a devil and causing destruction everywhere with her newfound powers under the authority of the Eldian King was a blatant lie created by the surrounding nations, particularly Marley, who were terrified of her powers.
For thirteen years, Ymir only brought peace and prosperity to Eldia. This, in turn, did grow Eldia into a powerful nation, who began to oppress Marley and the surrounding nations. When Ymir took notice of this and showed signs of treason, the King of Eldia had her executed, and forced her three daughters—Maria, Rose, and Sheena—to eat her remains so the valuable Power of the Titans would not be lost.
Ever since then, Eldia used the Power of the Titans to wage war, something Ymir had never wished for. It is why she cursed everybody who would inherit her powers to only live for thirteen years, the exact amount of time she was alive when she inherited the powers herself. It did little to scare the new inheritors though; the world became so deadly afraid of the titan powers that everybody despised the Eldians. Few knew that Ymir was benevolent, even fewer wished to accept it. Yet, Eren had managed to convince surrounding nations in the past this was the real history of Eldia before. Ymir was certain he could do it again.
''It'll be the last war,'' Eren responded firmly and resolutely. ''Willy and Lara Tybur will fall. Marley's bloodshed and oppression of all Eldians will end at last. And then, you shall be free forever.'' As always, Eren's confidence managed to spread a smile on Ymir's face. She'd long given up hope before, until Eren had come around and pulled her out of that bottomless pit she'd fallen into.
''I admire you, Eren Yeager,'' Ymir said genuinely, the sand castle she'd been making long forgotten. ''Even after failing over and over again, you're not giving up. Why's that?''
''Because we were born into this world,'' Eren replied immediately. ''We all deserve to be free. That is why, no matter what, I'll keep moving forward!''
Ymir nodded her head, a sudden gust of wind collapsing her castle of sand. ''Very well, Eren. I shall give you my full support like I've been doing, as always. How are we going to defeat Marley and free the Eldians living inside the internment zones?'' It was a genuine question, as they've tried this countless of times before. This time, however, Eren was certain his plan was going to work.
Eren looked at her crumbled sand castle and smiled. ''Let's build a few more castles.''
The internment zone of Liberio was one of the biggest in all of Marley. As such, a large population of Eldians called it their home. While life was incredibly tough, many believed that if the Devils from Paradis were eradicated, they could show the world they were different and, in turn, atone for their ancestors' sins. However, ever since a month ago, their point of view had changed a bit. Many still clung to their old believes, but they were now filled with uncertainty and doubt.
Eren Yeager, current holder of the Founding Titan, had made them all a promise: he was going to liberate all of them and atone for the sins of their ancestors. Over the course of a month, he had spoken with all of them inside the Coordinate. Many of them were outraged the first time around. However, the fact Eren had gotten the former Warriors of Marley on his side and backing him up started to convince more and more people over time.
It also didn't help that Marley had started to guard the internment zones intensely, like Eren predicted would happen. It was as if with the outbreak of a war, all of the Eldians were going to be used as hostages or were going to be straight up executed. Eren, however, kept on insisting they had nothing to worry about. All they needed to do was stay clear from the borders of Liberio today. Not that it was very difficult. Anybody who came close without a valid reason was immediately shot by the Marleyan guards.
This—in Willy's mind—ensured he had an ace up his sleeve if things happened to go south. His sister, Lara Tybur, was incredibly strong. Combined with the help of neighboring countries, he was sure he could stop everything except a total Rumbling from Eren, but even if that happened, he hoped he could threaten Eren with holding all these Eldian lives hostage. He was sure Eren would not want their blood on his conscience.
However, the moment he had been teleported inside his mansion again after speaking to Eren, he couldn't help but feel extremely nervous. ''Is he really going to go through with it and activate The Rumbling?'' Willy thought, his heartbeat rising. He wanted to calm himself down, but before he could, the porcelain in his study began to shake ever so slightly. ''An earthquake? No… It couldn't be!'' He ran to his window, which gave him view over a big and lush forest stretching far into the distance. However, what he saw, he didn't like one bit.
Birds of every species imaginable were flying away from where the tremors were coming from in a complete frenzy. Willy's eyes turned into complete pinpricks, he tried to stumble out of his study to warn his sister, but before he could reach her, a voice he knew all too well spoke up in his mind.
''To all Eldians. My name is Eren Yeager. I have started The Rumbling. All of Marley shall be flattened and everybody within that nation shall perish. Anybody who tries to oppose me shall be flattened too. Heed my warning; none shall stop me until I have liberated my kin. To the current holder of the War Hammer Titan, Lara Tybur: resistance is futile. You too shall be flattened alongside everybody you bring along with you to stop me.''
Willy hissed in complete panic, close to hyperventilating as Lara met him halfway. She was a lot calmer than he was, as she gave him the support he sought. ''He really did it,'' Willy whispered in shock. ''I've doomed us all. I really thought he'd be bluffing, but he's going to go ahead and destroy everything to save the Eldians.''
''Then it is time to meet Eren Yeager head-on, brother,'' Lara replied in a soft and collected voice. ''We'll set up the defense we've been preparing along the coast of Marley to slow him down as much as possible. In the meantime, we have to bargain with him about all the Eldian lives he's going to throw away in the Internment zones, should he not stop his foolish actions.'' She paused and looked at him with a determined gaze. ''Have faith in the power of the War Hammer. We have not lost quite yet.''
Willy knew Lara was right. He balled his fists and gritted his teeth. ''Activating The Rumbling immediately after our talk, too.'' He ran down the stairs of his mansion, completely ignoring the tremors as his only goal was to inform Commander Magath and all the other high-ranking officials as quickly as possible. Though, he didn't have to go far. The moment he opened the beautiful oaken double-doors of his quaint abode, the man he was looking for was already approaching him.
''Commander Magath!'' Willy yelled, ''it has begun, prepare the defense line along the coastline that we've been talking about. The War Hammer titan shall accompany you.''
If Magath's eyes could've grown any bigger, they would have rolled out of his skull. He gritted his teeth and snarled before nodding his head. ''So, Eren Yeager has decided to go all out? Then, so will we.''
Theo Magath ran back the way he came from and began barking orders to his men. They had to set up the defense quickly so they could go ahead and evacuate as many people from within Marley immediately. The news of a potential rumbling spread quickly and all around the coastline, as troops of Marley began to prepare for the inevitable war that was approaching.
Alongside them was Lara Tybur—not yet transformed—but still waiting for the inevitable. Oddly enough, the tremors had completely stopped some time ago. ''The titans have probably reached the ocean by now and are making their way through it,'' Lara reasoned, a single droplet of sweat rolling from her brow as she gazed out. Any moment now, she was sure, the ghastly plumes of scorching steam emanating from the bodies of hundreds of colossal titans would be seen over the horizon.
It was so eerily quiet you could cut the air with a knife. However, the longer Lara waited, the more her suspicions began to rise. Something was off about all of this. She had clearly heard Eren's voice in her head like Willy had and felt the tremors. So why were her instincts screaming to her that something was terribly wrong?
Another thirty minutes passed with practically nothing happening. The palpable tension that hung in the air was met with almost visual anxiety. However, it was at this moment that Lara was sure something was completely off. ''What is Eren Yeager doing?'' she thought with growing uncertainty and annoyance. It was then that a messenger came stumbling up to Theo Magath.
''Commander Magath, sir! The capital of Marley has taken heavy damage from the Eldians!'' he stated in complete panic, sweat pouring from his brows. ''They came from the south via blimps and they have a multitude of titan shifters wreaking havoc. We need to mobilize the troops immediately and give the army their support!''
''What!?'' Theo Magath hissed like a snake, his entire expression turning dark and menacing.
However, Lara Tybur didn't react whatsoever. Somehow, she knew this was going to happen, but in the end, she was tricked nonetheless. ''Eren Yeager didn't activate The Rumbling after all,'' she thought sourly, her expression remaining eerily stoic. ''But then… what were those tremors? Something had to cause them. Something big.''
''Inform the officials at Liberio!'' Magath said urgently, stretching one of his arms to emphasize its importance. ''We need to start rounding up the Eldians so we have something to threaten Eren Yeager with.''
''Sir, we can't. The Liberio Internment Zone has been completely blocked off, as well as the other internment zones,'' the messenger replied, his panic not dissipating at all.
Magath froze for a moment, as if he was struggling to process what he had just been told. Even Lara Tybur stopped and gazed at them incredulously. ''What!? How!?'' Theo Magath roared loudly, his anger getting the best of him. It was like Eren Yeager was always a step ahead of them.
''Well…''
''Man, patrol duty is so boring,'' one of the Marleyan soldiers complained, walking alongside his comrade around the border of Liberio's Internment Zone. Its fortified walls were surrounded with watchtowers, searchlights, and fences lined up with barbed wire on top, making sure nobody could escape. Not that anything had happened in the month he got stationed here. Most Eldians didn't even come close to the walls. ''Why are we here again?''
''Orders from higher up,'' his comrade replied, shrugging his shoulders. ''Maybe they're afraid these Devils might try to escape or something?''
He snorted, a chuckle escaping his mouth. ''Like that would ever happen. Nobody has escaped from here before. Besides, most Eldians are content living in this shithole like the pigs they are. I don't understand why we're patrolling a wall with heavy artillery and enough men to take down the armored titan.''
Again, his comrade shrugged his shoulders. ''Me neither. But I, for one, am not complaining. It beats being on the frontlines, living in dirty trenches and under intense heat, while fighting against the surrounding nations.''
The Marleyan soldier sighed and kicked a pebble away with his boot. ''Maybe you're right. Still, I wouldn't mind if something interesting would happen, though. We've still got over nine hours left on the shift and I'm bored as hell.''
At that moment, it seemed as if time stood still for a moment. The air became heavy and chilly, and a brief tremor began to spread across the land. A deafening chorus of shrill screeches pierced through the internment zone as everything turned a horrible yellow hue from hundreds of violent lightning bolts that struck the ground all around the border of Liberio's interment zone in unison. A single potent tremor rippled through the city as a multitude of explosions were heard all around, blasting concrete in every direction. Every Marleyan soldier stationed at the perimeter walls simply ceased to exist as hundreds of colossal titans began to form out of thin air. Tons upon tons of steaming flesh rained down as their newfound thundering footfalls crushed the entire border fence along with all of the Marleyan equipment and men stationed there.
Standing at over sixty meters tall, the newly created colossal titans stood proudly and obediently as ordered by their Founder. Tons upon tons of titan hardening began to expand from the ground up, coating the titans in a thick layer of hardening that formed itself into a wall, much like the colossal titans did on Paradis a century ago under orders of King Fritz. Now there was no way any Eldian could get out, but not a single Marleyan could get in either.
Lara had heard enough. Eren had simultaneously tricked most of the army of Marley to be stationed at the east where Paradis was located and had ensured all Eldians within the internment zones were completely safe via the spontaneous formation of walls. Only if she went there personally, she could break those titan walls, but that was something Eren had taken into account as well. The capital of Marley was all the way at the south. They were attacking it with blimps, which meant Paradis had allied up with a foreign country, which in turn meant Lara had no choice but to go there if Marley was to have any hope of defending itself.
''Eren Yeager,'' Lara thought, calmly walking away from the rest of the soldiers who were scrambling to get aboard trains headed to the capital as quickly as possible, ''you might have the winning hand right now, but you're forgetting one thing.'' She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and reached up to remove a single hairpin from her neatly-bound hair. With a determined expression, she cut her hand with her hairpin, triggering her shift.
A powerful lightning bolt emerged from the sky, tainting it with a deep yellow hue as it rained down with a deafening thunderclap that cracked the earth upon impact. Tons of titan flesh began to materialize as the War Hammer Titan rose from the ground up. As the bones and flesh formed and lurched skyward, a thick and resilient layer of elegant silver-colored armor began to coalesce around the titan. Like a knight whose armor gleamed defiantly under the sunlight, Lara Tybur's almighty War Hammer Titan stood proud and tall at its towering height of fifteen meters. ''I still have the War Hammer and its special ability. Something you have just foolishly challenged.''
The capital of Marley was a blooming city full of life. Located deep in the south, it had access to a large river flowing all the way through the country from up north, which connected to a port further up west. The mountainous ranges provided excellent defense against any enemies coming from the north, as well as rich soils from the river's basin which a lot of farmers gratefully took advantage of.
That's why when industrialization began, the capital of Marley benefitted the most. While the city itself was rich and prospering, its defenses beyond its northern ranges lacked severely. The only way the city could be attacked effectively was from the south, which was covered by a large river and a sprawling swath of dry lands which stretched on for kilometers on end. Even if an army with the newest technology marched through it, they would've been spotted from kilometers out, however, Marley would have little means of stopping it unless with its own army.
It's why Marley didn't bother protecting it as much as their borders. If nothing got past the border, in theory, the capital would be safe. Especially now with the looming threat of Paradis and The Rumbling, they had situated the largest part of their forces alongside the east coast while their powerful fleet patrolled the waters to the east and south.
So, when on a cloudy afternoon a multitude of unidentified blimps suddenly descended from the sky and came into view above the city, all hell broke loose. The few hundred soldiers situated in the city stood little to no chance against their adversaries, which was soon revealed to be none other than Eren Yeager himself. Alongside him were a multitude of other titan shifters and around one thousand of the most well-trained men in usage of vertical maneuvering equipment. Needless to say, Eren had taken over the city in just a few hours with little to no resistance.
''It seems that our ploy has worked,'' Eren thought, satisfied with the results so far. Next to him stood his stepmother Dina, as well as Connie, in their titan forms. ''It's now a matter of the forces of the Azumabito to secure more strongholds further inside Marley while we wait for Lara to arrive.'' Eren knew it was inevitable that she'd come around and combat him. He knew from past experiences that she was very powerful, and he knew this incarnation would be no different. But, for some reason, it always felt like she held back and didn't use the full power of the War Hammer Titan. This time around, Eren had a feeling that was going to be different. This was, after all, the last war.
''Still, we should definitely be in the advantage,'' Eren reasoned with himself, his nervousness steadily growing. ''Lara is the last obstacle before our goal is fulfilled. Once she is beaten, Eldians across the world will be free. It's only one titan shifter against the rest. It's true that I can't really use the Founder here, but with our overwhelming numbers, we should have no trouble taking her down!'' Even though he tried to reassure himself, for some reason, he couldn't keep the nervousness out of his body.
He gave a sideways glance at the rest of his team, namely Ymir who was scouting the buildings alongside the Survey Corps in her Jaw Titan form. Jean, who had not yet transformed—as it would render his titan completely useless before Lara would even have arrived—and the newly acquired Beast and Cart titans he'd gotten from Zeke and Pieck respectively. To say they were terrifying was an understatement.
Everyone in the military had agreed that the Cart's titan powers should go to none other than Hange Zoë. She was so ecstatic about her selection to become a titan shifter that her squeal of eagerness had threatened to break the windows of the conference hall they were in when the decision was formally announced.
Eren had to suppress a chuckle as he looked at her titan. Instead of a four-meter class, she was actually six meters tall. Quadrupedal like all her predecessors, Hange's Cart titan resembled a big beetle, with her outside flesh being protected in a hard carapace of titan hardening. A forked horn with two deadly spear tips protruded from her face upwards, and her membranous bug-like wings were neatly tucked under a split shell of hardened exoskeleton, which granted her the ability to fly for short distances. Unlike Pieck's weaker Cart, Hange's Cart titan was very durable and could hold itself in combat without the need of addons or support. However, that came at the drawback of not possessing Pieck's nigh-infinite endurance nor the ability to infinitely activate her titan over and over again. Instead, she had a couple of very strong serrated mandibles that produced high amounts of potent electricity.
This gave her a huge edge over other titan shifters. Even if she wasn't able to break through titan-hardening or Connie's armor, that didn't stop her electricity from being conducted all throughout the titan's flesh, which meant she could attack the user directly and take them out without needing to defeat the titan in question.
Then, there was the debate who should get the terrifying powers of the Beast Titan. There were a few candidates in question, but ultimately, everybody agreed that Erwin Smith should be the one to be granted the powers of the Beast Titan. If everyone thought that Jean's ice giant was scary, they had a whole other thing coming when Erwin shifted for the first time and revealed his titan for everyone to see. His appearance was that of a bipedal dragon without wings. He had a thick tail to support himself, and stood proudly at seventeen meters like Zeke had done. His entire skin was melted into leathery green-colored scales, with two horns protruding out of his head facing backward. His hands and feet possessed abnormally long claws that were immensely sharp, while his mouth was full of long serrated teeth. The most terrifying thing was his thundering roar that could paralyze even the most hardened soldiers, and the fact he could breathe fire so hot that the flames were blue.
''It's amusing. Just like Zeke and Pieck, the Beast and Cart work together as leader and support in the form of Erwin and Hange. It's also like Ymir gave all of my friends the best possible titans and powers she could offer them,'' Eren thought, extremely impressed with the amount of power he had on his side and extremely grateful to Ymir the Founder in general. Never mind the fact he had two extremely skilled Ackerman and around one-thousand of the finest soldiers the Survey Corps could offer on his side, as well as the forces and technology of the Azumabito and the distant nation of Hizuru. With confidence at an all-time high, he was sure his side could not lose this war.
''All we have to do now is take down Lara Tybur and her War Hammer Titan to end this endless cycle of hatred, once and for all.''
There we have it, people! Did you like it, love it, hate it? Please review! I love to read each and every one of them! :3 Next chapter the start of the final battle! Until then! ^^
PS: While this final battle might look like it's going to be one-sided right now, it really isn't going to be. The War Hammer titan is my favourite titan and I want to do it justice. You'll see next chapter. ;3
