Super God: If I punch you, you will die

This complex mix of emotions made Ian Dietrich somewhat inclined to side with Lin Yan. Although he didn't know the whole story, he knew that the officer in front of him, Chiz Wilman, was a coward.

It's not even as good as a hair on one of that person's fingers.

The difference between the two is like heaven and earth.

Incomparable.

"Thanks for your hard work."

He looked at each soldier, their faces weary; they could no longer fight, their spirits broken.

Meanwhile, on the city wall, Dart Picksis was chatting with Lin Yan and others.

"I heard you fought very bravely in this battle. Sergeant Dietrich told me that, and I believe others also witnessed your valiant fighting. Very good... But I heard your graduation grades weren't ideal, and you didn't even..."

"Do grades really matter, Commander?"

Mikasa Ackerman, the top graduate of the 104th class.

She was actually the first to speak out.

This is truly a bizarre situation.

Generally speaking, shouldn't she, as the top student of the 104th cohort, support this test? Why would she say something like that? It's really interesting!

Dart Picksis glanced at Mikasa Ackerman, wondering why this genius girl was speaking up for Lin Yan.

It's like a kitten protecting its cubs.

It revealed its sharp little claws.

Their relationship doesn't seem simple.

"That's true. Results don't tell the whole story. It's like someone didn't care about that childish competition at all, but surprised us in the actual game. Actually, I'm not a pedantic old man. Besides, is there anything else you want to say?"

"This key."

Alan Yeager held up a key hanging around his neck.

This is an important key.

“This key is crucial; it was given to me by my father, my father is Grisha Yeager…”

Grisha Yeager is Eren Yeager's father and Mikasa Ackerman's adoptive father. He was once the inheritor of the Attack Titan and the Founding Titan.

After Wall Maria was breached by the Titans in 845, he ate the eldest daughter of the Reiss family and took her "Founding Titan". He then sacrificed himself so that Eren could inherit the "Attack Titan" and the "Founding Titan".

They uncover some of the secrets about the giants and hide them in the basement of their home.

Before Wall Maria was breached, he traveled by ship to the interior to practice medicine. After the wall was breached by the Titans, he rushed back inside the wall to find Eren and told him that he must return to his basement in the future. After injecting Eren with an unknown drug, he disappeared.

In Eren's awakened memories, Grisha injected an unknown drug into Eren, causing him to mutate into a Pure Titan, but was then devoured by that Titan, implying that Grisha was actually killed by Eren unconsciously.

In reality, Grisha knew that those who carried Titans only had 13 years left to live.

Before his death, he passed on the two Titans to his son, Eren Yeager.

That key is the key to unlocking the secret.

Through Alan Yeager's description, Dart Picksis roughly understood what happened back then; he was a mature and steady person.

A person who thinks independently.

His gaze remained fixed on Lin Yan.

In fact, Dart Picksis knew that the most important thing was not the secret of the basement, although the secret of the basement was indeed important, but the secret of the boy in front of him.

This attracted his attention even more.

"Once we get to that basement, the truth will come out."

"Yes, thank you for trusting us."

Alan Yeager's expression was solemn.

This is a crucial moment.

If they had the support of Commander Dart Pixis, they would surely have escaped this calamity and even achieved their long-cherished wish.

"Yes, I believe in you, and you must believe in yourself too."

"However, I can still distinguish right from wrong. I can judge what a person thinks and whether they are a valuable person."

Dart Picksis said.

“There’s one thing I can guarantee: I can guarantee your safety. Or rather, we…” Dart Pixis walked up to Lin Yan, smiling warmly, and said, “Let’s cooperate. Do you want to cooperate with me?”

"it is good."

Lin Yan readily agreed.

He still liked Dart Picksis very much; it was truly a pity that the man died. Besides him, Erwin Smith also died a tragic death. He was an excellent commander of the Survey Corps; as the saying goes, a bad general makes a bad army.

But there is only one good general.

However, it won't work without the right training methods.

While the Survey Corps soldiers were indeed brave and skilled in battle, and in human-to-human warfare they were fierce warriors capable of taking on ten men at once, when facing Titans with a vastly different strength, their mortality rate remained at around 30%.

This is an extremely high mortality rate compared to other units...

Alan Yeager breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, Dart Picksis was in the same boat as them, and given his position, he could protect them, and he was one of the only ones who could.

Mikasa Ackerman's eyes were wary.

She is a person who is always on guard, even when dealing with Dart Picksis.

She was loyal to only one person, and that person was Lin Yan.

She only wanted to protect one person: her family member, Ellen Yeager.

"You said that if we use the 'power of giants,' we have a chance to retake this city. Is that true?" Dart Pixis asked.

"It was a last resort to save our lives."

"Is this your attitude of cooperation, Commander Dart Pixis?"

Lin Yan countered with a question.

This kind of courage is not something ordinary people possess, and these soldiers already needed immense bravery just to face Dart Picksis, especially after just experiencing a life-or-death moment. This was true for both Alan Yeager and Armin.

The only one who remained calm was Mikasa Ackerman.

"Hehehe, of course not."

Dart Picksis said.

This is truly a formidable opponent. Despite his young age, he is remarkably mature and shrewd. One can discern an extraordinary aura in his deep eyes.

Dart Pixis took a sip of his drink and gazed into the distance at the vast, desolate land. This desolate land was also the most dangerous, a place he had never been before. Even as the supreme leader of the Southern Territory, he was a caged bird imprisoned in this cage.

He should have been free.

Dart Picksis had a smile on his face.

“I think our cooperation will be very pleasant, and I’m sure you will be the one to turn things around.”

Allen?

Upon hearing this, Mikasa Ackerman's first thought was Eren Yeager, but she quickly dismissed the idea. Eren, his father, and the key might indeed unlock some secrets, but they couldn't compare to Lin Yan's value.

Lin Yan has been a mystery from the very beginning.

He appeared suddenly, then vanished after fighting the giant, only to reappear outside the walls. Could anyone survive outside the walls? There are so many mysteries surrounding him, including this recent action, in which his performance was truly astonishing.

Who is he?

This is also the question Mikasa Ackerman wants to know, but she doesn't care what Lin Yan's identity is.

"Jaeger soldier, can you plug that hole?"

“Well… actually, I don’t know if things will go smoothly…” Alan Yeager was thinking about whether things would go smoothly.

He became a giant without his knowledge.

The second giant he transformed into was also incomplete.

Could such abilities truly accomplish such an important task? Alan Yeager had absolutely no idea.

Dart Picksis looked at him and asked again.

"Feel sorry……".

“I shouldn’t ask that. I should ask you whether you want to do it or not…” Dart Picksis asked with a smile.

Although he is an eccentric, he is a very kind person.

She has never put on airs.

Nobles and commoners alike are treated equally.

Alan Yeager was conflicted. He lacked confidence in his abilities and was full of enthusiasm but not wisdom.

Lin Yan's lips curled into a wicked smile.

His gaze fell upon the hole in the distant wall, the handiwork of the Armored Titan, who had kicked open the gate. Lin Yan didn't know why the previous successor of the Armored Titan hadn't done this in the past century; perhaps his destiny was different.

These details are now impossible to verify.

It's not important.

now--

Most importantly...

"Consider this the first step humanity has taken to reclaim its territory, a little gift I'm giving to Commander Dart Pixis," Lin Yan said, pointing to the hole in the wall in the distance.

"what?"

"what?"

"inflammation."

Mikasa Ackerman, Eren Yeager, and Armin blurted out, their expressions revealing their obvious differences. Why would Lin Yan say such a thing? Did he intend to personally block the hole? Even Eren in his Titan form wasn't entirely certain of success.

That hole was like an open doorway.

Titans could enter from the Shiganshina district outside the walls at any moment; this was unpredictable. Their first step would be to send scouts, and then they would proceed step by step according to their strategic plan to ensure the success of the mission's key figure—Eren Yeager.

No one understands this world better than Lin Yan.

He also knew the battle plan for that time.

Armin was the spark that ignited the Trost District operation, Dart Picksis was the advocate and facilitator, and Alan Yeager was the final implementer.

But it was the soldiers who sacrificed their lives.

Those Survey Corps soldiers have always performed the most dangerous jobs and have the highest mortality rate.

During the recapture of Trost District, despite everyone's objections, Armin boldly adopted Armin's strategy, deciding to use Eren's Titan to move a giant rock to block the gate of Trost District, and was willing to sacrifice many of his subordinates to cover Eren's mission.

During the battle to retake Trost District, it transformed into a giant but went berserk. Later, it regained its self-awareness at Armin's call and lifted a boulder to block the city gate.

He did not disappoint Dart Picksis.

He succeeded.

But the success of one general is built on the bones of ten thousand.

The soldiers died on the battlefield, paying a heavy price.

Lin Yan's plan was to establish his authority within the Survey Corps, win Dart Pixis's trust, and gradually dismantle the entire corrupt empire. Both the imperial rule of this era and later dynasties were outdated and backward.

People need a new system to develop and thrive.
