Volume 5
Ch. 64 Great Battle of Marley
Pov.
-Kara-
I took my time heading over to the gates that separated Liberio from Marley
By then it had become dark out
"Evening sir, may we see your paperwork ?" A Marleyan soldier asks
I don't bother to respond my aura alone sends them flying back 10 feet
"Agk" they grunt
"C-come back here Edian!" They stomp over to confront me but I slice their throats before they could even lay a finger on me
"Hgk" they choke before dropping on their knees
I continue down the empty streets
Levi and his squad did a beautiful job taking care of the scouts up on the roof tops
I manage to head towards the courtyard where the ceremony was supposed to be held without a problem
When I got closer I had to put down at least a dozen more soldiers that tried standing in my way but after that the streets were barren
"H-hello?! Why the hell isn't this thing working ?! C'mon where the hell is my back up!" I hear someone around the corner where the back entrance to the ceremony is supposed to be
After I reach the corner, I was immediately welcomed with a fist
But I of course managed to easily catch the pitiful thing
"Ghk wh-what the?!" He grunts trying to pull his hand back before I snap his wrist
"Agh!" The pain forces him on his knees "p-please have mercy, I-I have a family" he begs
"A family?" I ask
"Y-yeah a little girl.. please I love her so much d-don't take me away from them so soon" he says
"Really? You have a daughter, yet you dare treat my children and that of my people like dirt" I say
"I-I'm sorry, okay? J-just please, I beg. " he tears up "I won't ever do it again" he says painfully
"Yeah.. I'm sure you won't" I smile before I shove my finger into the gap between his eyebrows
"Agk" he gasps for a second before his eyes roll back
I pull my finger out of his head letting his lifeless body fall to the ground
"A family?" I set my foot on his head
"Don't bullshit me" I growl before smashing his head to shit
"Be sure as hell that I'll get rid of scum like you from my kingdom come" I kick his body aside
I slowly made my way over to the gates where it was now unguarded
I look up at the speaker
It was Willy Tybur, that Eldian from the Tybur family, they're the only eldians that are honorary Marleyans
One of the Tybur has the power of the War Hammer Titan one of the three I'm missing
And he was right beside
…
Zeke
Yes, he looks just as he did back then
When he got away with Reiner
"We were forced to live in constant fear, despite signing that peace treaty we know that their true nature will one day come forth and they'll seize our women! Our children! They'll take our homes, our land, our crops, our cattle, this time next year we'll have absolutely nothing, if we stand idly by and watch their technology advance we will fall into great ruin!" He encourages the hate everyone felt for us Eldians of Paradise
There was an uproar after he finished what he had to say
Even the gathered crowds at the side entrances went crazy after hearing him
Even I was impressed how manipulative he could be
Willy continued on for a bit before his eyes met mine
And he went silent
The crowd became silent as they looked around to see what he was looking at
Its when I began emitting heat from my body with the power of the colossal Titan it was just enough to melt the metal gate that stood before me as I walk through it as if it were nothing
The only voice that was heard was… Gabi
"Please Udo, Zophia, you have to trust me, something big is going to happen tonight" she begs
I guess Falco really did end up telling her
That little shit
No matter there's no point now
"Magath please why won't you guys.." she stops noticing the terrified look in their eyes as they saw the best candidate to be their Overlord walk down the aisle
"M-mister Grice?" Gabi says under her breath
She smelled an awful lot like Falco today
I bet that little virgin finally blew her back out
Anyways…
"Who are you devil?!" A Marleyan shouts
"Easy now" I finally said "Gabi, where is Falco?" I ask
Knowing him I thought he'd try to keep Gabi away from all this
"Last I saw, he was at his house" she says though I can tell she was lying "what's happening?" She asks
"That's quite the show you put on for us.. Mr. Grice was it?" That Willy Tyber guy asks
"Yes, it's been a while since I've had my fun" I say
"Cut the crap" Zeke growls "how'd you get in here? Tell me how long have you been living among us, Kara" He asks
"Kara?" I hear Gabi under her breath
I give her a little smile
"Calm down" I sigh "13 years ago I decided I'd travel the world, I wanted to find a better place where I could raise my children" I say "what's so wrong about that? Tell me. What makes us so different from you?" I ask
"Don't you dare compare us to you scum" Willy says
"Just tell me, what makes us so different?" I ask
"Your very existence, every one of you disgusting island devils are animals" Will says
"Our existence ?" I ask "last I checked we all ate the same as you, we drink, play, fight, laugh just like the rest of you, we are all one in the same whole"
"Shut up, you know damn straight what we're talking about you monster!" A Marleyan general shouts
"Monster… now aren't we all" I smile "tell me what have you accomplished with these foolish wars?" I ask
Nobody answers knowing damn straight they've done nothing for the good of their people
"You've sent millions to their deaths, killed the innocent women and children of your enemies for the sake of coming out on top" I say
"Don't you dare compare those victims to you island scum, they're noble sacrifices that'll lead us to the outside world! You're people deserve to rot in hell for what you did to us" Will says
"We just want peace. I don't remember doing a damn thing to your people! I nor my people deserve to be treated like shit for something WE didn't do!" I growl
"Shut up!" He shouts
"If peace is truly what you want, why resort to declaring war against what is now the United Nations?" He asks
"That is a question we should all ask ourselves, don't you think?" I ask "some fight to protect their people, others fight for their greed, others fight for their pride and others like the leaders of your nation for power. The fact of the matter is that we all know there will never truly be peace without war. War is the solution to the evil plaguing our world,"
"But now let me ask you something Magath. Is it our fault we were cursed into this blood?" I ask
"… no why would it be" Magath says
"Right… because of it, in this world My people will forever be discriminated against." I open my arms "but now you see, this blood coursing through my veins is a blessing, this power is mine, I am a God to you basic humans. With this power I will free My people and birth a nation in which equality will be known to everyone, you will follow My word or die"
No one dares utter a word
"Things have been written in stone the moment you decided to banish me onto that island, now you'll pay for all the innocent lives you ended on that day" I remove my cloak finally revealing the tail I was so well known for
Everyone began panicking, frantically running out the exits after their biggest fears were confirmed
"YOU WILL KNOW TRUE DESPAIR AFTER WITNESSING THE WRATH OF A GOD" My aura grew larger
My flame like aura engulfed the poor souls that were struggling to escape
"YOU'LL FACE THE CONSEQUENCES OF SETTING FOOT ON MY ISLAND, HURTING MY PEOPLE, AND MAKING ME YOUR ENEMY" I say as Zeke and Will brace themselves "CURSE YOU ALL TO HELL FOR BELIEVING YOU CAN STAND AGAINST ME, YOUR GOD, AND CURSED FOREVER BE YOUR CHILDREN, CURSED BE YOU FILTHY VERMIN WHO DARE LOOK DOWN ON YOUR ETERNAL KING, LET HELL RAIN DOWN UPON YOU AND LET IT CLEANSE YOU OF YOUR MORTAL SINS" I roar with such might, the rooftops are blow off the surrounding buildings as the shear strength of my aura lifts my feet off the ground "LET YOUR MINDS BE PLAGUED WITH FEAR AS I DECLARE WAR ON YOU LESSER BEINGS!!"
A sudden explosion erupts right under the stage on which Zeke and Will stood
"GRUAHHHHH!!" Eren roars in response to his king as I too took on the form of a God
…
Eren's explosion sends Will into the air where Eren caught him in his mouth and devours him entirely
Zeke was thrown into a building but he managed to transform just before his body splat all over the wall
I was about to launch at Zeke when I heard a second explosion erupt behind me
I turn around
"Perfect" I hiss
The War Hammer Titan
She was beautiful
Man how I wanted to rip that sexy body of hers apart
I launch myself at her leading with my right fist
She stood there motionless as my fist slammed into her abdomen
"What's the matter, Lord Amaterasu?" She mocks me
"How dare you" I pull my other arm back
She stands still cockily waiting for a second punch
But this time I summoned about half the strength of the colossal Titan into my arm before I dug it right into her stomach
"Agk" she coughs before her body is sent through the air crashing through buildings before coming to a halt about 80 meters into the east side of Marley
I look back at Eren who was fighting the Beast Titan
He gives me a subtle nod and I hurry after the War Hammer stomping all over the pitiful Marleyans that were fleeing from their homes without a single care in the world
The war hammer was up and ready by the time I arrived
She pulls both her arms back creating a massive sledge hammer with her hardening as I did the same creating my set of twin blades
Our weapons meet in the middle
The impact creates a crater about thirty five meters in radius before my blades shattered and her hammer got in a clean shot on my shoulder
I stumble back after my left arm gets completely obliterated from her shear strength
"Hah" I chuckle
Her hardening skills were top notch
No matter how much I trained these past years nothing compared to the power of the War Hammer
She seemed to be weightless even with all that hardening she managed to make, plus there was the fact that it was completely unbreakable
I take a few steps back as the muscle fibers from my arm formed into the missing limb once again and I launched myself at the War Hammer
I use at least 25% of the strength from the colossal Titan making sure I don't over do it this early into the fight and I use it to try and make some form of damage onto her hardened skin
But it all seemed completely hopeless
"Agh!" I gasp as her fist dig into my gut
I stumble back making sure I still had a tight hold of her wrist before I yank her over and I slam my knee into her side
I grab the back of her head as I create a wall 3 meters taller than I was before I slam her face onto it
She shakes it off easily jumping back onto her feet
I was about to charge at her when I noticed she had created a bow
She pulls the bowstring back making an arrow as she did before firing at me
I slide under the first shot before sidestepping the second
She then consecutively shoots her third and forth arrows
I twist my body catching the third and then the fourth as I completed the 360 spin in which I throw the third arrow at the fifth one she had just shot
She pulled the bowstring back for the sixth as I summoned some more strength from the colossal Titan
She launches her sixth arrow and I wait for the last second to dodge
I quickly weave around the arrow making sure I was too fast for her to keep up before I dig her fourth arrow right into her gut
"Agh!" She gasps reaching for my head but I managed to blitz behind her before she could
After doing a quick 360 I slam my shin onto her back so hard my foot explodes as she is sent crashing through building after building
I stand there on one leg watching her get back to her feet as my foot regenerated as it always did
"What? Hungry for more?" I ask as she shook off all the rubble from her shoulders
"I don't want to hear a damn word from you wretched monkey" she growls
"Ghk* monkey?!" I grit my teeth
"You're one to talk, you damned anorexic bitch" I give her an evil grin
I could feel my blood boiling and my skin itching for this fight
Her eyes widen
"I said, I don't want to hear a word!" She charges at me
