Chapter 461: Eren's Final Plan!
Between the vast Sea of Clouds, stood majestic, snow-capped Mountain Peaks towering into the Clouds.
From a higher Viewpoint, one could see that this was a Snow Mountain Range covering an extremely vast area, shaped like a super-sized Pyramid.
It stood between the Sky and the Ground, forming a magnificent scene of peaks converging and surging.
Here was the Snow Domain Sacred Mountain where Sagarmatha Peak, the highest point in the Giant World, was located. Its Main Peak reached nearly nine thousand meters, allowing people to appreciate its solemn and sacred majestic Mountain Peaks even from hundreds of kilometers away.
Yet, in such a harsh Environment with treacherous Terrain, Coldness, and steepness.
A Biplane was seen flying rapidly from a distance. Under the constant buffeting of the Wind and Snow, it landed shakily on the middle section of the Mountain Peak, at an approximate Position of four thousand meters above sea level.
[Bang—]
The cabin Gate opened, and two people wearing thick Winter Clothes walked out one after another.
"Phew, as expected, the Climate here is relatively better in April and May..."
Eren walked a few steps on the Accumulated Snow under his feet, gazing excitedly at the azure Sky above and the endless snow-capped Snow Mountains. He had always dreamed of seeing these magnificent Sceneries with his own eyes.
Now, it had finally come true!
At this moment, he was so Free, so happy, that Mikasa, who was following behind and watching his Back View, was stunned, because she could feel the joy coming from his heart.
"Yes, Eren, what he truly wants is this, to freely travel and see the Sceneries of Various Places in the World, but he can never let go of his Bond with Paradis Island, with the Eldians..."
So Mikasa chose Silence, trying her best not to disturb him, because she knew that Eren's Time was running out.
Just like that.
The two of them spent about twenty minutes together quietly on this high mountain in the Frozen Wasteland, until Eren turned his head and showed a brilliant Smile.
"Mikasa, I really like this kind of peaceful Life. What's even better is that we can enjoy this Life for about three more days!"
"Three days?"
Mikasa let out a Long Sigh and asked, "Can't we keep running? Didn't you say you still have a year of lifespan?"
"We could before, but not anymore. The other side has sent a being suspected to be the 'God of Light'. Even if we keep changing airplanes, we'll be caught up in four days at most, then defeated and captured..."
Eren turned his head back, his deep black eyes looking towards the east, and said with a complex Gaze, "Although I really don't want to admit it, their World can indeed be called the Divine Realm."
"Since that's the case, it's better to choose a final Battlefield for myself as the place of death. This is the Highest Point in the World, with the most Free Air. It's quite good..."
"Death?"
Mikasa let the Wind and Snow blow against her face, her black short hair scattered. She covered her mouth in disbelief, looking at Eren, "Didn't you just say you would only be captured?"
She had originally thought she could accompany Eren for another year, even if it was in Prison.
"After they catch me, they will carry out a public execution on me, but they won't actually kill me immediately. Instead, after the execution, they will give me to a certain Eldian to be eaten."
Eren calmly recounted his tragic Result, his Expression showing no emotion.
"This way, they will smoothly obtain the power of the Nine Titans. And in the Memory of that Successor, I saw that the Eldians were living even more miserably and abjectly than before."
"It's just that I couldn't see the Memories after that. There are two possibilities for this: either there were no more Hosts for the Attack Titan afterwards, or the Host went to the Otherworld, which is why I couldn't see..."
Mikasa seemed to understand after listening, and said in a low, bitter Voice, "So you plan to die here?"
"Yes!"
"As long as I die in advance, my Power of the Nine Titans will be randomly inherited by newborn Eldian infants again, until one day they activate their awakening."
As if releasing the Pressure in his Heart, Eren told his final Plan step by step to the Partner he trusted the most.
"This way, before those nine new Hosts awaken their strength and reveal it, the other side will have to treat us Eldians well. And it will take at least ten years for these Hosts to grow up..."
Then Eren sighed inwardly in his Heart.
He could only help this much. From then on, it would all depend on the Fate of the Eldians.
"So that's how it is. Your Purpose in gathering the Nine Titans together was to prevent those Otherworlders from getting them..." Mikasa couldn't help but exclaim.
"No, it's to prevent those Otherworlders from getting the Giant Power too easily!"
Eren and Mikasa were four or five meters apart, with Wind and Snow occasionally swirling In the Court between them.
"Regardless, the defeat of our World is a destined future. This cannot be changed, so they will eventually obtain this Giant Power."
"But things that are too easy to obtain are not cherished. So I want them to wait patiently for over ten years. At the same time, if they don't have a deep understanding and experience of the Giant Power, they won't give it and the Eldians importance. So..."
Mikasa suddenly finished his subsequent words, looking at Eren before her in shock.
"So you launched this World War just to show the other side the strength of the Giant Power!"
"That's right."
Eren nodded, took a deep breath of the Cold Air, and said.
"The Founder Titan that can activate The Rumbling, the Colossal Titan that can cause a great explosion, and the Attack Titan that can see the memories of future Hosts, must have left a deep Memory on them."
"Next, I will display the strength of the Beast Titan, War Hammer Titan, Armored Titan, Jaw Titan, and Female Titan here, and then commit suicide!"
After speaking, he took out a five-centimeter-long black small square box from his pocket, which had a button on it, and then walked up to Mikasa and handed it to her.
"Keep this safe. If there's any accident when the time comes, be sure to press it."
"This is?!"
Mikasa took it with surprise and uncertainty.
"It's nothing, just a remote control used to detonate the bombs next to my heart. Mikasa, I hope to finally die by your hand!" Eren said with extreme determination.
"..."
Mikasa opened her mouth, unsure what to say, but her hands were trembling and shaking, and her heart ached as if being torn apart. She said in a low, hoarse Voice.
"Can't I fight with you, and then die in battle together?"
"You cannot."
Eren Shook his Head, reached out and stroked the Girl's cheek, which was slightly red from the Cold Wind, a Smile on his face.
"I've seen it. If you participate in combat, you won't have the opportunity to press that remote control. So, on the morning of the fourth day, you must fly that airplane far away."
"So, don't let me down, okay?"
Feeling the warm Palm on her Cheek, Mikasa could only nod and agree with difficulty to Eren's request.
"Okay."
(End of Chapter)
**Chapter 462: The Ultimate Giant on the Peak!**
Sea Star Mainland, within the Command Department Meeting Room of the Supreme Military Command.
Kong, Raimon, Sengoku, Zephyr, and Tsuru sat around a Meeting Table displaying a virtual, three-dimensional real-time Sandbox Model.
Minister Kong sat at the head, his muscular arms crossed over his chest. He scanned the other four and asked in a deep voice, "It's time to make a decision. Should we let Sakazuki create a few active volcanoes on the Western Front to block 'The Rumbling'?"
"My opinion is still against it. The Western Front is too close to the Star Gate. If we turn this place into a magma hell, it will definitely cause us huge trouble later!"
Minister Tsuru stated her thoughts without hesitation.
"But besides that, what other means do we have?"
Marshal Raymond frowned, looking displeased at Minister Tsuru across the table.
"Now, apart from monsters like Garp, Whitebeard, BIG MOM, Kaido, and Bullet, the other Officers, including Crocodile, have no stamina left to continue resisting the endless stream of Wall Titans. And even Garp and the others, how many more days can they last?"
"How about we switch to Aokiji using his awakening? Iceberg should also be able to block those giants," Zephyr suggested.
"No, I've already asked him."
Sengoku shook his head, maintaining his brain's thought process as he spoke, "Kuzan said it's no problem for him to directly freeze those Wall Titans."
"But it's difficult to freeze them with Icebergs created by his awakening, because these Wall Titans' bodies constantly emit High Temperature Steam, which is enough to resist the invasion of the Icebergs' Cold Air."
As he spoke, a flash of inspiration suddenly sparked in his eyes. A moment later, he laughed with some excitement, "That's right! It doesn't matter if the Icebergs' Cold Air can't freeze those giants. As long as we build an Ice Wall that's tall and thick enough, that's all we need!"
"Ice Wall?"
Minister Kong and the others were startled. After pondering for a few seconds, they realized it made perfect sense.
Their side didn't need to only think about how to kill all these giants; blocking them would be enough, wouldn't it?
The latest Intelligence transmitted by the Five Elders last night stated that Eren Yeager could only live until next year at most. They could completely block them with walls and then wait slowly, which would also allow their Officers enough time to rest.
Although this felt a bit stifling!
The dignified World Government being forced to this extent by this so-called 'The Rumbling' was truly a bit hard to adapt to~
"Then let's do that. Have Kuzan go build the Ice Wall and isolate this Peninsula Zone. Oh, and have that kid Bullet help out too. His Combine-Combine Fruit Ability can definitely help with this!"
Marshal Raymond was also satisfied with this method and laughed as he slapped the Meeting Table.
But at this moment, Minister Kong, sitting at the head, spoke lightly, saying, "Alright, This Old Man will issue the order to the front line now..."
"Uh—"
This choked Marshal Raymond's laughter. He felt that Kong was hinting that he was the Supreme Commander, and his expression immediately turned ugly.
After all, he was the Marshal of the Three Forces before, the Direct Superior of Kong, the Fleet Admiral.
But Sengoku and the others didn't seem to notice Marshal Raymond's expression and continued discussing the Battle Situation with each other, while Kong 'The Iron Fist' picked up a Transponder Snail to transmit the order.
Ah, in the end, among the five people present, only he, Raimon, was not from the Marines...
On the other side.
As the order from the Command Department was issued, Kuzan could only obey and come to the Western Front. After circling the Battlefield twice on his Ice Storm Pheasant, he scratched the back of his head, looking troubled.
"Arararara~ This isn't easy~"
Kuzan found that to isolate this Peninsula, he would have to build a diagonal line from the northwest to the southeast, and the length of this line was estimated to be over a hundred kilometers long.
It would actually be easier for him to turn this entire Peninsula into a cold Polar Region; he could just fully activate his Ice-Ice Fruit awakening. At that time, Icebergs would naturally appear one after another, completely changing the Climate Environment here.
But now the Command Department's order was for him to build a large Ice Wall at least seventy meters high and at least twenty meters wide!
"I have a way!"
After Kuzan landed and finished explaining the Matter to Bullet, who was resting, Bullet patted his chest and laughed heartily with a bold expression.
"You're responsible for creating the Icebergs, and I'm responsible for reconstructing the Icebergs into an Ice Wall using my Combine-Combine Fruit Ability. With our Cooperation, I believe we can build a hundred-kilometer 'Ice Great Wall' in no time!"
"Good idea!"
Kuzan looked at the big guy from a Pirate background in front of him with newfound respect. He didn't expect this guy's brain was quite good, and it would indeed save him a lot of time and energy.
On the other side.
Just as the Star Gate side was preparing to build an 'Ice Great Wall' to isolate 'The Rumbling', thousands of kilometers away in the High Altitude, a Golden Flash suddenly appeared.
"Moshi, Moshi, this is Kizaru. Do I need to adjust direction next?"
Borsalino, wearing a Blue Justice Coat, asked the Transponder Snail in his palm lazily with a twisted mouth. The Transponder Snail looked at him calmly and replied.
"No need. This Old Man's feeling tells me the other party hasn't changed their flying direction."
"Okay~"
Borsalino sighed, used Element Transformation again, turning into a mass of golden photons, then vanished from the spot in the blink of an eye. The next moment, he had appeared in the air twelve kilometers away.
Just like that, after flashing three times in a row, he took out the Transponder Snail again and asked the same question.
To be honest.
He was already annoyed. Ever since he joined this pursuit Team for Eren Yeager or whatever, he had been doing almost the same thing. It wasn't just boring, but also mentally exhausting...
And on a Monoplane two thousand kilometers away from him, Redfield was sitting in front of a square table, then casually tossed the Coin in his hand over his head, watching it land on a certain Position on the World Map.
"Snowy Sacred Mountain, still here?"
Captain Raschi, sitting beside him, looked at the Coin's Position in surprise, while Muzan Kibutsuji stood nearby, using his Glint-Glint Fruit ability to stare at Borsalino, ensuring the other party's Position and their Airplane were on the same line.
It must be said, the current Muzan Kibutsuji was as humble as henchmen...
Redfield's mouth curved up with interest, and he smiled, "Hmm, the other party hasn't moved for three days. They probably don't want to run anymore. They are waiting for us, or rather, waiting for Kizaru."
"Waiting for Admiral Kizaru? Is this giving up, or do they have some means they plan to use?"
Captain Raschi stroked his chin, deep in thought.
"Let Kizaru face this question himself. At the speed of our Airplane, by the time we arrive, everything will basically be over."
Redfield picked up the Transponder Snail and explained the Situation to Borsalino on the other end, finally laughing in a teasing tone, "You can go at full speed now. Good luck, Admiral Kizaru~"
"Finally going to meet that Eren Yeager? That's the person who blew up Admiral Black Rhino. He must be very scary, right?"
Borsalino had a twisted-mouth expression of surprise mixed with slight nervousness. This expression was immediately mimicked by the Transponder Snail in his hand, leaving the three people in the cabin speechless, unsure what to say.
[Splat~]
Borsalino put away the Transponder Snail and transformed into a Golden Flash again, approaching Eren's location at a speed close to Teleportation.
Until the early morning of the next day.
That brilliant Morning Sun slowly rose from the east, and bright Sunlight poured down across the land. He finally arrived near the Snowy Sacred Mountain and saw a continuous range of snow-capped mountains soaring into the Sea of Clouds, reaching altitudes of seven to eight thousand meters.
"Yo~~ Looks like I found it~~"
Borsalino's Observation Haki immediately perceived Eren's Aura standing on the peak of Sagarmatha Peak.
However, the current Eren had already transformed into a Colossal Titan covered in dazzling Crystal, with white Armor inside, and a lot of Hair growing on his cheeks.
When the giant's Line of Sight met Borsalino's Line of Sight in the air.
It actually bared its teeth and revealed an unpleasant, ferocious smile.
This was Eren Yeager, the 'Ultimate Giant' formed by combining the Power of the Nine Titans!
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 463: A Scene Like Déjà Vu!
On the Mountain Peak of the 8,848-meter Snow Mountain, the pure white snow shone dazzlingly with silver light, and the surging, icy Cold Wind whistled past.
A sixty-meter-tall Crystal Giant could be seen, its upper body wreathed in thick White Mist and Steam. Its right foot was planted on the peak tip, its chest puffed out, looking up at the High Altitude.
The brilliant Sunlight shone upon its body, refracting even more dazzling, colorful Radiance.
Although this Giant was expressionless, its Gaze reflected determination, stubbornness, unwillingness, and the Flame of Anger, like an ancient Hero stepping on the earth and Mountain Peak, silently and defiantly questioning the Deity in the Sky.
"Oh, how terrifying~ That Gaze~~"
Borsalino, who was being stared at directly, pouted casually and teased. Then, tilting his head in thought, he pulled his Right Hand out of his Pocket and extended a finger towards Eren.
Originally, he had wanted to chat a bit with the other party, but then he remembered the language barrier between them, so he had no choice but to directly make a move.
At this moment.
On his right Shoulder, specifically on the Golden Shoulder Insignia of his Blue Justice Coat, a Visual Den Den Mushi was staring wide-eyed, looking down at the Crystal Giant below, which seemed to prop up the sky and stand on the earth.
Everything it saw was also being watched by multiple high-level Departments on the Sea Star Mainland, including the Otherworld Strategy Committee, the Command Department, the Academy of Science, and Impel Down.
At the same time, the Media Division of the Propaganda Department was responsible for broadcasting it to all the Citizens of several Worlds, including the World, Kabaneri World, and Demon Slayer World.
Even the Titan World, which had not yet been fully conquered.
At this moment, under the operation of Cipher Pol Members who had Infiltrated in secret, Virtual Screens were projected into the skies above the central Capitals of countries like Marley, the Middle East, and Hizuru, attracting large numbers of Citizens with astonishment and drawing crowds.
The Five Elders wanted everyone to witness the entire process of Eren Yeager being defeated, Arrested, and even publicly Executed in the end, using this to Intimidation and Warning those petty individuals who harbored thoughts of resisting the World Government!
[Beep——————]
The sound of the Laser gathering began to appear. Borsalino's extended index finger had already turned into golden-yellow photons, emitting an extremely dazzling and bright Flash.
The next second.
With a Whistling Sound, a slender Light Beam shot out from his finger. Its Speed was so fast that it had already crossed hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye.
Most of the Citizens watching the Live Broadcast only saw a straight Golden diagonal line streak across the clear blue Sky.
On the other side.
The Crystal Giant seemed to have anticipated it. As soon as Borsalino raised his finger, it extended its left palm, and streaks of Golden Lightning immediately condensed within it.
This process was quite brief. When the Lightning dissipated, a White Shield covered with a layer of transparent Crystal had already appeared in its hand.
[CRASH!]
In an instant, the Light Beam descending from the Sky struck the incredibly smooth surface of the Crystal White Shield, immediately causing a refraction phenomenon and shooting rapidly towards the lower right side.
A moment later, a deafening Loud Noise appeared with a Roar, followed by a massive Gunfire Flash that erupted violently on the Mountain Top of a distant Snow Mountain.
When the Flame dissipated.
Men, Women, Old and Young from various Worlds watching the Live Broadcast were all dumbfounded, staring at the mountain peak that had vanished. It wasn't until countless amounts of accumulated snow formed a terrifying Avalanche under the Tremor that someone finally had a Reaction and let out Exclamations and Screams.
"No way~ My Attack was deflected?"
Borsalino looked at his finger in surprise, then looked with astonishment at the Crystal Giant still holding the White Shield, wreathed in Steam, standing tall on the Mountain Peak.
What he didn't know was that Eren, over the past few days, had already seen all of his Means through 'Future' and had conducted a large number of 'Combat Simulations'.
This 'Hardening Crystal' countering 'Flash' was one such Experience!
Just then.
Eren was suddenly seen flipping and leaping down the Mountain Peak. Then, relying on his Agility, he continuously stepped on the accumulated snow and ran down the mountain. With every step, a dull Commotion sounded.
He knew he was destined to lose, but even so, he had to fight with all his strength!
"Where are you going?"
In the blink of an eye, as a dazzling Golden Light shone from behind him, Borsalino's lazy voice reached Eren's ears. The former knew the other party couldn't understand him, but it felt very uncomfortable for him not to be Speaking at all during Combat.
[THUD!]
The latter's Reaction was also extremely fast. While sprinting, he forcefully turned around and used the Crystal White Shield on his Left Hand to timely block the long leg that was kicked towards him.
However, the Strength of Borsalino's 'Light Speed Kick' was too fierce. The Crystal Giant's enormous Body Size, which was sixty meters tall, was actually sent flying backward like a Cannonball.
[Roar Roar Roar Roar...]
Continuous Sonic Booms kept ringing out. Layers of White Gas/Mist condensed on the Crystal Giant's back, and it finally smashed heavily into the Rock Formation of another Snow Peak, instantly being buried by a large amount of accumulated snow.
"Huh?"
Just as Borsalino was about to continue the pursuit and finish the battle quickly, he first showed a surprised Expression. Then, without a word, he instantly turned into a Flash and disappeared from the spot.
[CRASH——CRASH——]
The next second, two Little Giants, only about five meters tall, with mouths full of sharp teeth and extremely wide and thick upper and lower jaws, burst out from under the snow at extremely high Speed, fiercely biting towards the Position where he had just been standing.
On the other side.
As soon as the Flash that Borsalino had turned into condensed and appeared a few dozen meters away, nine extra-large White Arrows, over two meters long, attacked, breaking the air, but he lightly moved a few steps and dodged them.
His Observation Haki's Future Sight, although not able to see the distant Future like Eren's, could see the Future Vision of what was about to happen.
"How amazing, so many Giants~~"
Only then did he have time to casually and Un hurried glance around, discovering that over thirty somewhat similar-looking Giants had appeared at some point.
Those White Arrows just now were shot by those nine White Giants, who were distributed in multiple Directions, holding White bows, and had a Height of around fifteen meters.
It turned out.
Eren had long since summoned the successive generations of War Hammer Titan, Jaw Titan, Beast Titan, and Armored Titan. As for the other Giants, perhaps he felt they wouldn't be useful.
It was seen that next to each War Hammer Titan, there were one or two Beast Titans and one Armored Titan responsible for the Guard, while the Jaw Titans continued to pounce and bite at Borsalino like mad dogs.
"Well then, I'll get a little serious now~~"
Borsalino pulled his two hands apart in front of him, and immediately a straight line of brilliant Radiance and Flash shot out. In the blink of an eye, it refracted into streaks of golden-yellow Light Paths between the Snow Mountains.
"Yata no Kagami"
With a swish, just as the second wave of nine two-meter-long White Arrows attacked, breaking the air from all directions, he himself turned into photons and vanished into these Light Paths.
[CRACK CRACK CRACK CRACK]
Instantly, sounds of objects exploding kept ringing out. It was seen that both the War Hammer Titans and the Beast Titans were all hit by the fleeting Flash and had their Heads blown off.
When Borsalino returned to the Place where he had just been standing, those successive generations of Giants had become 'headless ones', lying in the snow, their Flesh and Blood gradually turning into Steam and disappearing.
The entire Process didn't even take a few seconds of Time.
"So Strong."
"A Monster, is this the World Government's Admiral?!"
Citizens from the three Worlds, Kabaneri World, Demon Slayer World, and Titan World, spoke out in astonishment. Those Giants, who clearly looked terrifying, were actually instantly killed in an instant?
Even some Sea Star Mainland Citizens with little knowledge were frightened by the Combat Power Kizaru displayed, but soon, expressions of pride and arrogance appeared on the faces of many.
This was their World's Powerhouse!
"Huh~~"
At this moment, Borsalino had both hands in his Yellow Pockets and looked up overhead in surprise.
He immediately discovered that the Crystal Giant had appeared overhead at some point, and a pair of huge Bone Wings covered in transparent Crystal had grown on its back.
It was seen rapidly diving towards his Position. Due to its excessive Speed, a conical White Energy Shield even appeared in front of it.
Suddenly.
The Crystal Giant's body first erupted with a large amount of Golden Lightning, and then its entire body transformed into an intense White Light and exploded.
[Roar!!!]
A scene like déjà vu was once again displayed before everyone's eyes.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 464: For Freedom, Attack the God!
Sea Star Mainland.
Noah's Ark's enormous Volume blotted out the sky and the sun.
The three Boeing Islands below were now shrouded in a seemingly boundless shadow. On the southern area of one of the islands, an Open Ground had been temporarily cleared out.
A layer of luxurious, fine Red Carpet was laid out on the Open Ground, and on the Red Carpet sat a set of tables and chairs meticulously carved from Adam Wood by top-tier master carpenters.
On the tabletop were various strange 'Delicious Food Plants' and a bottle of top-tier Red Wine worth hundreds of millions outside.
Im sat casually on a chair, gently swirling the Crystal Cup filled with mellow Liquid in his hand, while watching the Virtual Screen projected into the air by a Transponder Snail.
To his left stood Stussy in a black dress, and behind him on either side stood two Ubuyashiki sisters in purple Kimonos.
Among them, the younger sisters, Hinaki Ubuyashiki and Nichika Ubuyashiki, occasionally fanned the Feather Fans in their hands, providing a comfortable cool breeze for Im.
At the same time.
The Kuja Guards stood by the edge of the field outside the Red Carpet, holding Silver Bows. Their sharp Gazes constantly Scanned the Commotion deep within the Jungle.
Further out were Holy Land Garrison Warriors in white Armor, holding Spears. Whenever a giant Insect or carnivorous Plant attempted to approach, they would be killed by their combined efforts.
In the air.
Four Flying Warships slowly Patrolled around this Boeing Island.
However, the most eye-catching sight was the muscular Body Size kneeling on both knees, forehead pressed tightly against the Red Carpet, his face full of Expression.
This was a burly man wearing black, bulky Armor.
A black Helmet resembling the horn of a rhinoceros beetle was scattered beside him.
At this moment, he was drenched in sweat, his whole Body trembling with Muscle, yet he dared not make any movement to look up or stand up.
He was Hercules, the 'Master' or rather, the 'Watchman' of these three Boeing Islands.
Earlier, when the Holy Land Garrison extensively cut down Trees and Plants to clear this Open Ground, this guy tried to stop them, fearlessly leading a group of giant Ants in an Attack.
The consequence was that all the Ants were wiped out, and he himself was Defeated and captured.
Im saw that he could Order those giant Insects and felt he was a Talent, so he mercifully granted him Forgiveness for his Crime and bestowed upon him the honor of kneeling before him.
However, right now, his Attention was focused on the Combat between Kizaru and Eren.
To be honest.
When he first saw the Crystal Giant Form, Im was truly stunned.
Because in his Memory, this kind of thing had never appeared in the 'Canon'.
After careful observation, when he noticed the fuzz on the Crystal Giant's cheeks and the extremely obvious large jaw, he had some Speculation in his Heart.
And when it used the War Hammer Titan's Ability to materialize a Shield, the Speculation became even stronger.
Now.
After personally witnessing Eren display the 'Colossal Explosion' Ability, his suspicion was completely confirmed.
"Tsk tsk tsk, amazing. Could it be that he has gathered the 'Nine Titans' together?"
Im appeared calm on the surface, but in his Heart, he marveled and praised Eren's actions.
Nine Titans combined into one, the Ultimate Giant. This could already be considered the Highest Combat Power of the Titan World!
And its Opponent was the World Government's Highest Combat Power, Air Force Admiral 'Kizaru' Borsalino!
Look at Eren Yeager's Configuration at this moment.
The Founder Titan can control all Giants and Eldians except the Attack Titan. The Attack Titan can see the Memories of future Hosts.
The War Hammer Titan can create White Substance and even harder transparent Crystal out of thin air. The Colossal Titan can release High Temperature Steam and can transform to produce Steam Explosion.
The Beast Titan can possess the characteristic abilities of Animals. The Jaw Titan has super strong biting force in its upper and lower jaw and the most agile Speed. The Cart Titan has exceptional Stamina and can maintain the Giant Form for a long time.
The Armored Titan has hard biological Armor. The remaining Female Titan is the most comprehensive, having the Body with the best flexibility.
What does this concept mean?
According to the saying on the World side...
It is equivalent to a Demon Race member who simultaneously possesses the Paramecia System Giant Fruit, Paramecia System Steam Fruit, Paramecia System Glimmer-Glimmer Fruit, Paramecia System Wax-Wax Fruit, Paramecia System Bite-Bite Fruit, and a certain Animal System Fruit, while also wearing full body Armor!
Yes, not Giant Tribe, but Demon Race.
Among them, the Paramecia System Giant Fruit, Paramecia System Steam Fruit, Paramecia System Glimmer-Glimmer Fruit, and Paramecia System Wax-Wax Fruit have reached the Awakening Level!
On this basis.
He also has a 'Simulator' Rank 'Future Sight' time-based Ability!
That is to say.
The current Eren Yeager only lacks Observation Haki for enhanced Perception and Conqueror's Haki for spiritual Pressure. After all, the 'Hardening Crystal' and 'Hardened Armor' are sufficient to replace the defensive effect of Armament Haki.
"I really didn't expect that the 'Power of the Titans', which looked unremarkable, would have this level of Combat Power when fused together. An ordinary Vice Admiral would not be his Opponent."
Im's mood was heavy, because he saw that the Virtual Screen had completely blacked out.
This might mean Borsalino's Transponder Snail was taken out. What is his Situation now?
Although the Intelligence he sent to the Five Elders earlier stated that the 'Power of the Titans' had no Means to injure a Logia System user, frankly speaking, that was purely self-speculation, as he hadn't conducted any Experiments before.
At this moment.
Im remembered that in the 'Z' Movie Version, Kizaru was so scared by the Explosive Rock thrown directly at his face that he immediately retreated from the Island. So, it's really hard to say whether this kind of Great Explosion, which comes with a high-energy Shockwave, is truly lethal to Element Transformation.
He was currently worried that 'Kizaru' would be directly crippled by the 'Colossal Titan''s 'Steam Explosion', which is comparable to a 'Nuclear Explosion', or blown to death on the spot like Byrnndi World.
That Loss would be too great!
"Hmm?"
A moment later, the Virtual Screen unexpectedly began to slowly recover Footage playback.
This scene not only relieved Im but also made the Five Elders in the Room of Authority, the five Ministers in the Command Department, the Fleet Admiral, and Chairmen like Kong Ming from the Otherworld Strategy Committee breathe a sigh of relief.
The Transponder Snail was fine, which indicated that Kizaru was also fine!
The next moment.
"Wow—what a terrifying Explosion, you scared me~~"
A sentence that seemed to express lingering fear, but sounded like a very unreliable, sarcastic chuckle, was transmitted through the Transponder Snail to Various Places in the four Worlds.
One could see Kizaru pouting his lips, with an expression of astonishment on his face, standing completely unharmed on the ground that had already melted into Magma and hot earth. He tilted his head and Scanned this steaming hot, super large explosion pit.
This Mountain Peak, several thousand meters high, was like a Pyramid-shaped ice cream cone, with a large chunk bitten off from a position biased towards the middle.
No more snow, no longer cold.
Its terrifying Power was evident, having already greatly exceeded the Explosion Power of an ordinary Colossal Titan!
Unfortunately.
It seemed to have no effect whatsoever on Borsalino. The Transponder Snail on his Shoulder was assimilated into photons using his Awakening Ability, which was why it wasn't affected at all.
"Your move is a bit grand. Then, my side is also about to begin~"
"Ama—no—Murakumo——"
Above.
The Crystal Giant flapped the huge bone wings behind him and flew in the air. Seeing Borsalino below pull his hands together in front of him, creating an extremely dazzling golden light sword out of thin air.
The next moment, his Right Hand also extended forward. Amidst the constantly flashing Golden Lightning, a white Spear wrapped in transparent Crystal appeared in his palm.
Eren knew that he simply couldn't injure the 'God of Light' before him. Even so, he still had to reveal his Weapon!
Roar!
The huge bone wings behind him flapped their wings. His sixty-meter colossal Body Size, Accompanied By bursts of Sonic Booms, squeezed the layers of Qi Walls before him, quickly transforming into a dazzling 'White Meteorite' and falling down.
With the Power of the Titans, for Freedom, Attack the 'God'!
**Chapter 465: Specialty Resources of the Titan World!**
Regarding the century-long Combat on Mount Sagarmatha, the groups most concerned were the Higher-ups and Citizens of the Titan World. Everyone was hoping that Eren Yeager would achieve the final Victory.
This way, their World would also have a powerful Combat Power capable of Intimidation against those Otherworld invaders.
To be honest.
This was quite ironic, considering that for hundreds of years before this, they had always feared the existence of Giant.
For this reason, they scornfully referred to the Eldian as 'Descendant of the Devil', and even forced them to gather in a containment zone called Liberio in Marley, constantly monitored and isolated by many Soldiers.
They even demanded that every Eldian was not entitled to any privacy.
If needed, they would definitely send them as suicide squads to step onto the most bloody and cruel Bloodbath, and no one cared if their Sacrifice was meaningful.
Because everyone felt that these Eldian people were atoning for the Crime of their ancestors!
But now, they were placing all their Hope on an Eldian, and relying on his Power of the Titans from the bottom of their Heart!
In contrast.
Aside from the Otherworld Strategy Committee responsible for the Mission to Arrest Eren, the Higher-ups of other Department in the World Government were no longer paying much Attention to this Combat.
Because the Five Elders, Kong, Raimon, Sengoku, Zephyr, Tsuru, and others had also discovered that Eren's 'Ultimate Giant' lacked an Ability similar to Armament Haki, making it impossible to hit Kizaru, who was a 'Flash Human'.
What good were more Superpower if you couldn't hit your target?
As for competing in Stamina, that was even more ridiculous. Leaving aside whether Eren's Stamina could outlast Kizaru, did he really have the Strength to hold back Kizaru?
Therefore, the outcome of this Combat had already been decided; it was merely a matter of Time.
Thus, the World Government began to shift its Attention to the 'Ice Great Wall' being Construction through the Cooperation of Kuzan and Bullet. Originally, this was built to block The Rumbling from approaching the Star Gate.
But the Five Elders felt that this thing was actually quite good. After all, they needed a Branch Zone no matter which Other World they were in.
Just like the Ojika Peninsula in the Kabaneri World, the original Jiaopenji Nation in the Demon Slayer World, now the Second Special Zone, this Titan World could also develop this Blak Peninsula.
However, this idea was immediately rejected as soon as it was reported to Lord Imu.
Sea Star Mainland.
Lord Imu, who was strolling leisurely on the Boeing Archipelago, admiring various Delicious Food Plants, carnivorous Plants, and giant Insect, sighed inwardly.
"This is the Advantage of a Transmigrator. Otherwise, who knows how much Time the World Government would waste waiting for them to discover the Important Value of Paradis Island themselves."
He had just Order the Five Elders to establish the World Government's Branch on Paradis Island. As for the Star Gate's Position issue, he would find Time to go to the Titan World to change it.
At the same time, he also informed the Five Elders about the four major Special Resource of Paradis Island.
What four major Special Resource?
One.
The Eldian ethnic group itself possesses extremely high Value. After all, the Power of the Titans is Inheritance and circulates within their Bloodline.
Two.
Iceburst Stone. This is the Energy for the Omni-Directional Mobility Gear and Thunder Spear. This thing is very interesting, much like biological combustible ice. It self-evaporates in a normal temperature Environment.
The most interesting thing is its generation principle.
According to the Content Lord Imu knows from the Canon, this is a 'Special Minerals' formed by sealing the Flesh and Blood of a Wall Titan with the War Hammer Titan's Hardening Crystal, and then freezing it in a low-temperature cave.
Understand now?
Because the Wall Titan's Body itself generates High Temperature Steam, without the suppression of a low-temperature Environment, it naturally self-evaporates. And when it touches the Hardening Crystal outside and mixes with it, it turns into a highly efficient gaseous Energy similar to high-energy gas.
The most crucial point is that Iceburst Stone is theoretically a renewable Clean Energy.
Ultimately, Wall Titans were essentially molded by Ymir in the Coordinate Space. So, as long as the white Sand in the Coordinate Space isn't used up, they can be manufactured Infinite.
Of course, the assistance of the War Hammer Titan is also needed, but that's even less of a problem. Founder Titan can summon and Control the War Hammer Titans of successive generations at any Time.
As for the low-temperature Environment.
Heh heh.
Just find a Winter Island anywhere on the Grand Line.
Three.
Black Gold Bamboo. This is also a biological Resources unique to the Titan World, and like Iceburst Stone, it is also a renewable 'Special Minerals'.
This is a type of bamboo that grows by absorbing Underground Metal Elements year-round. It is as light as thin Paper, as hard as Steel, and at the same Time possesses elasticity and flexibility.
The Central Government of Paradis Island used it as the Main Material to manufacture the Omni-Directional Mobility Gear, including the steel cables that are fired out and the 'Half-Blade Sword' used to cut the nape Meat of Giant.
Don't be fooled by how easily the Survey Corps' Blade cut the Flesh and Blood of those Pure Titan. In fact, the skin of Pure Titan is very tough. Blade made of ordinary Steel or Rifle Bullet cannot cut through the skin at all.
Only these 'Half-Blade Sword', thin as cicada wings but extremely tough and sharp, can easily achieve this.
Four.
The craftsmen on Paradis Island who are responsible for manufacturing the Omni-Directional Mobility Gear!
Don't think that just because you have Iceburst Stone and Black Gold Bamboo, anyone can just come and make the stuff.
From the Trigger to the fan mechanism that propels the 'compressed gas', and then to the device that launches the cable and the controllable fastener at the cable's front end, every single part possesses a 'black attribute' level of Technology.
There is also the manufacturing process of the 'Half-Blade Sword', which must be handled by specialized Swordsmith. Therefore, these craftsmen are also extremely important Special Resource.
Besides these, there are actually two other types of people worth noting, but in Imu's view, their Important Value is not comparable to these four types of Resources.
Firstly, there are the so-called 'Giant Association' Scholar and experts in Marley. It is said that they have been researching the Body and Ability of Giant, but if you ask what they have achieved, it seems they have only figured out the Body structure and basic Situation of Giant.
As for deeper discoveries, they don't know as much as he, Imu, does.
However, a Giant expert is indeed needed, but he doesn't want those 'Association Scholar' from Marley. Hange of Paradis Island is actually quite good and can be considered for recruitment into the Biochemical Research Institute.
Then there is the Ackerman Clan.
That is the ethnic group of Mikasa and Levi. This ethnic group is very interesting; their servility is very heavy. As long as they choose to follow someone or recognize them as their superior, they will absolutely obey!
Eren once evaluated them as just a group of people who only listen to Order, in other words, Slave.
However, Imu feels that this Characteristics of the Ackerman Clan should be considered an Advantage for the World Government. They are the best Candidate for butlers or bodyguards, because you can be Eternal in not worrying about them betraying you.
And in terms of Talent, they also have two very good Special Abilities.
Firstly, their Physique is naturally Strong. Not only are their Muscle Density and bone density greater than ordinary people in the Titan World, but the Speed of recovering from Injuries and Stamina is also much faster.
Even when compared to Sea Star Person, they can be considered to have some Talent.
Therefore, the Ackerman Clan also has the nickname 'Dwarf Giant', meaning an ethnic group that has absorbed a part of the Power of the Titans.
Secondly.
They can Awaken Consciousness when facing a crisis. Through a Bloodline pathway similar to the 'Paths of the Power of the Titans', they Obtain the Combat Experience of their ancestors from past generations, and can immediately apply it in actual Combat, without needing any practice or Familiarize.
This Ability is called 'Cloud download combat experience' by Imu!
But despite this, the Ackerman Clan is still too weak. Without the Omni-Directional Mobility Gear, they can only be considered 'Strong Ordinary People'. Their Value to the World Government is not very great, and their Population is also especially small.
