The world begins with refining skills

Chapter 206 Mental Pollution (Please subscribe and vote)
Reiner couldn't help but be anxious. Marley was not a military power, and it only relied on the power of the giants to gain a foothold in the world.

Among the seven intelligent Titans now controlled by Marley, the Jaw Titan Marcel was accidentally eaten by a Pure Titan sleeping underground before he arrived inside the wall.

The female Titan, the Armored Titan, and the Colossal Titan that the three of them inherited also disappeared for unknown reasons.

In this way, the only ones left in Marley are the Beast Titan, the Warhammer Titan and the Cart Titan.

Although Marley has other armies besides the Titans, its military strength has at least declined by one third after losing the four Titans.

"The Holy Light Warriors alone are enough to pose a huge threat to Marley, not to mention the Founding Titan."

"That's a being that can control all the giants!"

In Reiner's mind, an image of Marley turned into ruins after being invaded by countless Titans appeared.

"Retribution! It's all retribution! This is the retribution for us destroying Wall Maria!"

Reiner suddenly fell into endless self-blame and regret. He fell to his knees and pounded the ground hard.

"Reiner." Bertolt looked at Reiner, whose face was full of pain, and didn't know how to comfort him.

As the least opinionated person among the three, Bertolt always obeys the arrangements of others, and at this time he can only look at Annie.

"What a useless waste!" Annie walked up with a dark face and kicked him.

Reiner was caught off guard and fell to the ground. Annie showed no intention of stopping and continued kicking him.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
"If it weren't for you, we would have ended this mission when Marcel was eaten by the giant."

It was Reiner's negligence that led to Marcel's death. It was also because he was afraid of being punished if he went back, so he insisted on staying to continue the mission.

He also dragged her and Bertolt into the water. Now that things have evolved to this point, Annie is getting more and more angry.

"Annie, stop fighting, or something bad will happen," Bertolt stepped forward to stop her.

Now they don't have the ability to recover from the power of the giant. If they keep kicking like this, Reiner will be killed by Annie.

"Whoo~"

After Bertolt's reminder, Annie remembered that they had lost the power of the giant, so she stopped.

After being beaten by Annie, Reiner came to his senses from his self-blame and got up from the ground.

"We have to find a way to get the message back," Reiner put forward his idea.

"How do we spread the word? Since the Church of Holy Light already knows about Marley's existence, the dock must have been discovered as well. We have no way of contacting Marley at all."

Ani retorted: "Besides, why should we send a message back? Isn't it good as it is now?"

why?
Are Paradis Island and Marley enemies?
Reiner and Bertolt looked at Annie with strange eyes.

"Annie, what are you talking about? The Church of Light is going to invade Marley!" Bertholdt exclaimed.

“So what? The Church of Light invaded Marley. What does it have to do with an Eldian like me?” Annie looked at Reiner and Bertolt with cold eyes.

If it weren't for her father, she would not have participated in Marley's selection training to become a short-lived giant.

"Do you really consider yourselves Marleyans?"

"Don't forget how the Eldians lived in Marley. The so-called honorary Marleyans are just trying to make us work for them."

"Wouldn't it be better to let the Church of Holy Light capture Marley?"

Of the three, Ani is the least loyal to Marley, and she became a giantess just to become an honorary Malay and give her father a good life.

Reiner and Bertolt were completely shocked by Annie's idea. After a long time, Bertolt asked in a trembling voice:

"Ani, are you going to defect to Marley? Have you ever thought about your family in Marley? They might be executed!"

"Tsk!" Annie chuckled with her mouth tilted.

"That's something they need to know. We are still carrying out the mission to recapture the Founding Titan in Marley. At most, they are missing."

"Besides, do you think we can still keep our identity as honorary Marleyans after losing the power of the Titans?"

"So, this is good now, you two," Annie said, leaning forward and getting closer to Reiner and Bertolt.

"Don't do anything to make me unhappy, understand?"

After saying this, without waiting for Reiner and Bertolt to react, Annie turned around and strode away.

Not long after walking, Ani met Mina who came to look for her.

"Ani, where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time. Let's go eat quickly, otherwise Sasha will eat up all the meat."

Mina said as she took Annie's arm and dragged her towards the cafeteria.

"Mina~", Annie smiled helplessly: "No matter how much Sasha eats, he can't eat all the meat."

"Who can say for sure?"

"."

A few days later, early in the morning, Wall Maria.

Two soldiers wearing the uniforms of the garrison corps and equipped with three-dimensional mobile devices quietly appeared under the wall.

"Reiner, are we really going to do this? Without a boat, we can't leave Paradis Island!" Bertolt said hesitantly.

Today is a rest day for the trainees of the training corps. After the training ended yesterday afternoon, the two left the training corps.

After traveling all night, we finally arrived at Wall Maria before dawn.

"Marley has ships carrying Eldian criminals every month. We can go back in a month at most." Reiner consoled him. "If we're lucky, it might not take more than a few days."

"The training corps will find out tonight that we haven't reported back. The earliest they can confirm that we are missing will be tomorrow."

"Even if they confirm we are missing, they won't know where we are going."

"And they are just trainees from two training camps. They may not send anyone out."

"Let's go, it's almost dawn."

Pfft!

Reiner said as he controlled the 3D Mobile Device to eject the grappling hook and hung it on the wall. He then looked at Bertolt, who saw this and could only eject the grappling hook as well.

"Don't worry, Bertolt. We will be able to make up for our mistake by bringing back such important news."

As Reiner spoke, he pulled the trigger, and the wheel behind his waist began to turn, retracting the hook, and he jumped onto the city wall following the traction of the hook.

Bertolt hesitated for a moment, then jumped onto the city wall right after him, and then saw Reiner standing there motionless.

“Come on, why are you standing here?” Bertolt was stunned by the scene in front of him before he could finish his sentence.

And he also understood why Reiner stood still.

On the wall of Maria, dozens of Holy Light warriors with platinum headbands and wearing Black Crow uniforms were staring at them solemnly.

"Ani, is that you? It must be you!"

Reiner quickly guessed what was going on. Only Annie, who was also a spy, could guess their purpose, and only Annie would pay close attention to their actions.

"Ah!" Reiner rushed forward with a loud roar.

Keng! Clang!
The battle was over soon, and Reiner and the captured Bertolt were tied up. Without the power of the giant, they were no match for the Holy Light Warriors one on one, let alone so many of them.

Wall of Sina, headquarters of the Church of Holy Light.

"Lord Victory, Marley's spies Reiner and Bertolt have been imprisoned in the dungeon. What should we do with them?"

"And does the Marley spy who surrendered to us need to be locked up as well?" Nifa reported the relevant work to Musheng.

After Mu Sheng calmly reviewed the documents in his hand, he said:
"They are all Eldians. They were just brainwashed by the evil Malay government. Don't worry about the one who surrendered. Send the other two to do hard labor!"

"Let them contribute to the revival of the Eldians and the future of mankind!"

"I understand!" Nifa looked at Mu Sheng with respect: "Lord Victory is so kind."

"Hey, that's an exaggeration!" Mu Sheng waved his hand.

"By the way, is that King Lei-something still locked up in the dungeon?"

"It's Rod Reis, Lord Victory, he's still imprisoned in the dungeon," Nifa replied.

"Hiss! Then you go and make some arrangements and bring him out. I want to interrogate him personally," Mu Sheng straightened his body somewhat unnaturally and instructed Nifa.

"Okay, Lord Victory, I'll take my leave now."

Nifa then left Musheng's office, and before leaving she glanced under the desk with envy.

"Come out Anka, let's go to the interrogation room!" Mu Sheng patted Anka, who was busy with the hardware softening project, under the table.

Anka was originally the right-hand man of Commander Pixis of the Garrison Corps, helping him handle many official affairs. Later, he was transferred by Musheng to be his secretary.

"Gulp!" Anka swallowed and then crawled out from under the table.

"Lord Victori, your original schedule was to go to the industrial city to inspect the manufacture of new rifles. Do you want to cancel it?" Anka asked after wiping the white stains from the corners of his mouth.

"No, the interrogation won't take much time."

Mu Sheng's original intention was not to interrogate, he just suddenly remembered that the power of the Founding Titan could come to the center after touching the royal bloodline and control all the Eldians through the Founding Titan Ymir.

This is how the protagonist in the original novel launched the Rumbling.

Of course, Mu Sheng was not going to launch a rumbling earthquake. He just suddenly thought that the blood power of the ancestor Ymir should be very strong, right?
"I just wonder if Ymir, who is only a spirit body left, still has the power of blood in her body?"

"Wait, is there also a Ymir?" Makisatsu quickly flipped through the memories from Attack on Titan.

"Found it, also in the 104th training camp, the Jaw Titan"

"Very good, another thousand bloodline fruits. I will go and refine them in a moment."

Twenty minutes later, in the interrogation room.

"Woo! Woo."

Rod Reis, who was tied up, curled up in fear when he saw someone coming.

During this period of time, the once high and mighty king suffered torture in the dungeon.

"Uh! Who did it?" Mu Sheng was unhappy when he saw Rhode's expression. "I want to keep him as a sacrifice before attacking Marley!"

"Understood, Lord Victory, I will go and explain to them," Anka responded immediately.

"Well, you guys go out first! I can do it myself," Mu Sheng sent everyone out of the interrogation room.

Then he walked straight to Rhodes, picked a relatively clean spot, and pressed his finger on it.

The next second, the interrogation room disappeared from Mu Sheng's sight, and was replaced by a place that seemed to be in the universe.

What comes into view is a beam of light connecting the sky and the earth. The top of the beam extends to the invisible universe, and the bottom is a vast expanse of sand.

Chacha!

"Is this the road? The mysterious space connecting all the Eldians?" Mu Sheng stepped on the sand under his feet.

There are many human-shaped sand sculptures on the sand.

It sounds like an insult, but it’s not!
Seeing many human-shaped sand sculptures lying flat on the ground, Mu Sheng knew that these sand sculptures were actually the reason why the Eldians could transform into giants.

The so-called giant body was created by the ancestor Ymir using sand in this space and then transmitted to the real space through the road.

This is also the reason why a flash of lightning appears in the sky when a person transforms into a giant.

"Wait, when I transform, the lightning seems to come out of my body, right?"

"Oh, yes, our Titan power is not controlled by Ymir either, so it's okay then."

"But how did this tree get here?" Mu Sheng looked behind him in surprise.

I saw a fiery red tree hundreds of meters high standing in this space. This was the blood tree deep inside Mu Sheng's body.

I saw the bloodline tree taking root in the sand, occupying nearly one-tenth of the entire space.

Although this space seems boundless and the hundreds-meter-tall bloodline tree seems very small in it, Mu Sheng has this feeling.

"Is this the essence of refining? Plundering the power of the current world?" Mu Sheng guessed as he looked at the bloodline tree.

rustle!

The sound of leaves shaking suddenly rang out, and a woman in a white dress and with an expressionless face emerged from the crown of the bloodline tree.

"Ymir?"

Mu Sheng walked a few steps to the tree and looked up at the ancestor of the Eldians.

"Hey! This is my tree. You climbed up my tree without my consent. This is an infringement of my interests, do you understand?"

"If this were in the beautiful country, I could do whatever I wanted to you, you know?"

Ymir didn't say anything, nor did she have any expression. She just stared at Maki Sheng blankly.

"Okay, a fool!" Mu Sheng curled his lips in boredom.

Ymir was originally a slave. After gaining the power of the Titan, she actually treated herself as a slave and even gave birth to children for the slave owner.

Although through the memories of the future Eren, Makisho learned that Ymir did this because she fell in love with the slave owner.

But Mu Sheng wanted to say that the author was just talking nonsense. What kind of love is that? He was just influenced and PUA'd by that kind of environment since he was a child.

This is the same as the feudal society's restrictions on people's thoughts.

Growing up in such an environment, Ymir had long forgotten how to resist and could only accept everything as it came. Even when she had the ability to resist, she was unable to break the shackles in her heart.

But deep in her heart, she still longs for freedom and resistance.

"Without the power of blood, all your efforts are in vain," Makisho climbed up the tree, sat next to Ymir, and touched her head.

"Are you waiting for someone to free you?"

"Don't wait, I've already drained Alan dry, he won't come to help you get rid of it."

"People must rely on themselves!"

A ball of complex light suddenly appeared in Mu Sheng's hand, and then he pressed it into the body of the ancestor Ymir.
