Super God: If I punch you, you will die

Golden hair, and that familiar face.

Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed, and everyone...

The onlookers gasped in astonishment, and someone seemed to realize something: Armin shouted, "They're merging!"

Hardening continues to spread.

Eren Yeager was in grave danger when Levi appeared at the most critical moment and cut Eren out of the Titan's body.

"Don't eat the important witness, you idiot."

……

Annie's Titan form and Eren's Titan form both disappeared, steaming away, and a mist enveloped the area before them.

Everyone has reached the ground; the battle is over.

Eren's face was marked with a flower-like mark; he had fallen unconscious, and Mikasa helped him up. Meanwhile, Annie, the true form of the Female Titan, remained coiled like a silkworm in its cocoon.

wrong.

It was a clear, crystal-like envelope.

It would be more accurate to call it amber.

Or rather, it was a crystal coffin without any gaps or openings, and Annie was sleeping soundly inside the crystal with her eyes closed, as if she were asleep.

"Alan?"

"Mikasa."

Allen slowly opened his eyes.

Where is Annie?

Mikasa Ackerman looked into the distance with a hint of disappointment. In the distance, Jean's blade had already snapped, yet he continued to slash at the crystal substance encasing Annie. His teeth were clenched, his eyes filled with anger and resentment.

Even though his hand was almost cracked from the shock, he still didn't want to stop.

"Damn it, what's going on?! We've come this far, and you're still going to play dumb? Annie, come out here and settle this with me. Hey, that's despicable, Annie, Annie!!!"

"Stop it, it's no use."

Captain Levi stopped Jean, who reluctantly lowered his arm.

Squad leader Hanji ordered the others, "Make a wire mesh, use that mesh to tie her up and transport her underground."

"clear."

Squad Leader Hanji's expression was also somewhat subtle.

Having finally captured the intelligent giant, only to have it happen in this way, a sense of dissatisfaction inevitably arose. "If this is the case, then we can't get any information from Annie. What will we possibly gain? Isn't this operation... so many people died, soldiers paid the ultimate price, and residents perished in the chaos. And all that's left are countless mysteries. What is this all about?"

Irwin Smith also arrived at the scene, and Levi walked over.

"The operation can hardly be considered a success!"

"No, we Survey Corps' heads are safe."

"Irwin Smith said calmly."

This man, with his brilliant mind, is perhaps sometimes even a bit hard for Levi to understand.

"Although it will probably only save a layer of skin on the neck."

"I hope so."

Levi said.

Eren then fell into a coma. When he woke up again, Mikasa, Jean, and Armin were by his side, and everyone had a solemn expression.

This operation left me with mixed feelings.

"Allen, are you alright?"

"The recovery is so fast it's nauseating."

With bandages wrapped around his head, Allen sat up and spoke, his voice somewhat weak, indicating that it could hardly be considered a successful operation.

"Annie, I heard it's still in a hardened state."

"Damn it! Such a large-scale operation, and in the end we got nothing?" Leaning against the wall, looking gloomy, he crossed his arms and complained in a low voice.

The failure of the last expedition was deeply etched in everyone's memory, and this plan was meticulously crafted. However, no one expected that the plan would fail at the last moment, thanks to Annie's ability to harden.

She preferred to seal herself away and fall into a deep sleep rather than reveal any information to the Survey Corps, who were fighting bravely inside the walls.

What kind of colossal lie is hidden here?

At this point, neither Mikasa, Eren, Erwin, nor Levi knew the answer; it was up to them to discover it.

"The information that Annie is determined to protect at all costs..."

"Yes, she escaped."

"It was Allen who let her go." Armin was always able to think calmly and make judgments at crucial moments. His voice was very deep, even with a hint of gentleness. But the truth he stated was so cruel.

Armin looked at Alan Yeager and asked.

"Right? Allen. If it weren't for that moment of hesitation."

"Yes, Armin is right."

Alan Yeager looked disappointed and hesitated for a moment, but he did not deny Armin's speculation.

That moment.

That crucial moment was missed.

If she had seized that moment, then Annie would not have been able to harden successfully.

Success or failure can happen in the blink of an eye.

Alan Yeager was no stranger to inner turmoil and regret.

So many soldiers and civilians lost their lives in this operation. They could have lived happy lives, but were deprived of their right to live. How innocent they were! How can we not feel remorse for paying such a high price only to receive this result?

Especially Eren Yeager, who always wanted to drive all the Titans out.

“I missed my chance. When I saw Annie in person, I was completely unable to make a move.”

At that moment, someone walked into the room and said...

"Armin Arrulet and Jean Kielciuttan, report the situation." The gendarmerie summoned Armin Arrulet and Jean Kielciuttan to obtain information.

This is a necessary process.

After they left, Alan Yeager kept his eyes downcast.

The window was open, a gentle breeze was blowing the curtains, and everything seemed so peaceful, as if the bloodshed and cruelty had never happened.

It was so calm it was heartbreaking.

"At that time... I felt very comfortable... My body was being torn apart... I just felt very relaxed... I always thought that it wouldn't be bad to die like this..."

“Alan…”

Eren Yeager seemed to have fallen into that emotion once again, and Mikasa was slightly taken aback, calling out his name.

She was really scared.

She worried that Eren might actually think that way. Although Eren Yeager possessed the power of a Titan that humans feared, in Mikasa's eyes he was still an impulsive boy who needed protection. His vitality wasn't actually that strong; he was like a leaf in the autumn wind, as if a strong gust of wind could cause him to wither and fall...

“I don’t think that way anymore.” Alan Yeager’s voice was low, carrying a sorrow that made one want to cry. He seemed to be recalling something from a very long time ago, with that helpless resentment and pain still lingering in his mind.

Mikasa finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's so good that you came back alive."

That's what she truly felt; the past kindness had transformed into familial affection. Mikasa never wanted to lose her family again.

Jean sighed and said to Armin beside him.

"I simply can't understand why, in order to surpass monsters, one must even abandon their humanity. Is victory impossible without doing so?"

"That's just one possibility that humans could defeat giants."

Armin replied.

Jean's initial goal upon joining the Training Corps was to enlist in the Military Police, but the day before, a Titan attack occurred. In that incident, Jean experienced near-death experiences, amidst bloodshed and carnage, and witnessed the horrific deaths of his comrades.

His state of mind also changed.

Despite his resentment, trembling, and fear, he still chose to join the Survey Corps.

Traveling against the current, retreating if not advancing.

In fact, it truly did go against the current.

He appears selfish and cold, but is actually a very emotional person. Armin, on the other hand, looks like a frail young man, but is chillingly calm in crucial moments.

"Alan should be able to do it."

"I said, even if they turned into monsters and drove out the giants, could humanity really be considered victorious? I would rather place my hopes on that person."

Upon hearing this, Armin smiled.

"That's true. That person is a monster in themselves, so there's no need for them to abandon their humanity. However..."

Armin paused for a moment.

He glanced at Rang cautiously.

The two looked at each other.

He said in a low voice.

"But are you sure he really belongs to our side?"

"What's the meaning!"

"This world is not a matter of either being an enemy or a friend, nor is it a matter of either being a friend or an enemy. Perhaps there are people who walk in the gray area."

"The gray area? Lin Yan?"

"This plan was devised by Lin Yan, Commander Erwin, and Levi, and it's said that Lin Yan was the one who initially proposed it. From a certain perspective, as long as Eren doesn't encounter any accidents, this plan is flawless. So, why did Lin Yan disappear during the operation?"

"There are two possibilities: one is that Lin Yan changed his plans and left at the last minute, and the other is that Lin Yan had made an agreement with Commander Erwin from the beginning that he would not participate in this operation."

"No matter which one it is, it cannot guarantee that Lin Yan is absolutely on the side of humanity."

Armin analyzed the situation calmly.

Let silence prevail.

Perhaps Rang also realized that Lin Yan was indeed a guy with many mysteries, and his background was a mystery.

Many things also seem strange.

It's not a matter of either being an enemy or a friend, or vice versa.

So……

wrong.

It can only be said that he doesn't belong to the giants' ranks, nor to the human ranks within their walls. So, who exactly is Lin Yan? Who is he...?

What exactly is Lin Yan's purpose?!

These questions will remain unanswered for now, and what awaits them is a series of challenges and the unveiling of the mystery. However, the closer they get to the core, the more shrouded in mystery becomes, and it remains to be seen whether the moment of revelation will be a stroke of luck or misfortune.

Armin looked up at the distant sky.
