Super God: If I punch you, you will die

There's a strange, eerie feeling about it.

It has always been in my heart.

Wandering endlessly.

“Survivors… none… not a single one…” Connie’s tears streamed down his face, his heart filled with immense grief.

The pain of losing a family member is like being torn apart.

Connie only regretted that he had arrived a step too late.

If we had come here earlier, our family wouldn't have been destroyed.

“It’s all over. I have no home anymore… I’m too late. If only I had come sooner… sooner…”

Rainer Brown patted Connie on the shoulder.

But Hoover's gaze was very strange.

One wonders what his feelings were at this moment, as someone in the know, as a 'spy' within the walls, and even more so, as the owner of a giant of intelligence. Was he worried that the Connie family's giants would become the key to unlocking their secrets, or...?

Bertholdt Hoover felt conflicted as a warrior, as the owner of the Colossal Titan, and as the perpetrator watching Connie, the victim.

On one side was Connie, heartbroken.

On one side are the giants who caused this situation.

What kind of obsession sustained Hoover, Reiner, and Anna, making them willingly kill so many people?

A veteran of the search returned.

"Hey, something seems off. Have you seen the body?"

"No."

"No."

The curly-haired veteran's doubts did indeed reveal an eerie atmosphere; he was still somewhat worried and vaguely uneasy.

"Is that even possible? A village attacked by giants could be completely devoid of blood... It's truly unbelievable."

"Everyone must have escaped, which means your family and villagers were not eaten by the giants, and everyone is safe."

The female Survey Corps soldier beside him smiled and explained that at first glance, this explanation seemed plausible, but a careful observation of the village's condition would reveal that it was far-fetched.

Connie's face was still pale, but he managed a slight smile.

"Yes, that's right, that must be it."

"Yes, after all, it's impossible for a giant to eat a person without leaving any trace, right?"

In the quiet village, not a single person was found.

An eerie atmosphere permeated the entire place.

Their conversation was even more abnormal.

The others still looked gloomy, while the curly-haired veteran's experience and maturity made him even more composed.

He pondered this in his heart.

"The unbelievable things don't stop there... If the villagers all managed to escape, why did the giant destroy the empty buildings so thoroughly? What's even more puzzling is that stable. Everyone should understand that it's very difficult to survive on foot."

He didn't voice these questions aloud, as they would only undermine morale.

He turned to the others and spoke.

"Are the torches all ready?"

"Let's go. Next, we need to pinpoint the location of the wall's breach." Although pinpointing the breach wouldn't stop the wall from being blocked and would involve a great deal of risk, as a member of the Survey Corps, I still had to complete this difficult task.

Once the wall is breached, it will affect subsequent operations.

We must hurry.

The others rode away on horseback, but the moment Connie mounted his horse, he seemed to hear a voice.

A vague "Welcome back".

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Connie's forehead. He turned around in horror and stared at the giant that had crushed the house.

"Just now……"

What on earth happened? There was no one else around, so who said that indistinct "Welcome back"? Could it be the giant lying on the roof? His throat was still making gurgling noises.

Meanwhile, Rainer Brown came to Connie's side and urged him on.

"Hey, Connie, hurry up! We'll fall behind Gruga and the others if we don't hurry."

"Leiner, did you hear me?"

Connie was now wavering. Was he really hallucinating?

"Leiner, did you hear me?"

Connie asked again, his tone extremely anxious, and there was an eerie, unsettling feeling about him. Many flies and mosquitoes buzzed around the giant, and a closer look revealed a detail: the giant's eyes were the exact same color as Connie's.

"That guy just now..."

"I didn't hear anything... Stop talking nonsense and focus on the mission..." Reiner Brown urged impatiently. His identity remained unknown, and he always exhibited a peculiar behavior when facing Titans, perhaps explaining his split personality. On one hand, he was a warrior who would stop at nothing to complete his mission; on the other, a soldier who fought bravely to protect humanity.

He hoped Connie would leave soon.

Otherwise, you might actually discover something amiss.

Connie was certain he had heard the giant say those words, and though he found it hard to believe, he still wanted to confirm it.

Her hair, face shape, and eye color were exactly the same as her mother's.

Connie has already discovered it.

This is a truly chilling discovery.

"Although it's absurd, I always feel that... I always feel that he and my mom... it and my mom..."

"Connie, do you understand what's going on?!"

"Rayner Brown said angrily."

He looked genuinely furious, which really intimidated Connie. "Our every move concerns the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. Even if you have to think about it, think about the families who are seeking refuge. As soldiers, we should be giving it our all now."

Rainer Brown sped off.

Connie, on the other hand, abandoned his previous idea.

He thought he had calmed down, but he had missed the best opportunity for humanity to understand giants. He glanced at the giant and then spurred his horse to gallop away.

"That's right, now is not the time to think about these things. We must complete the mission well; that's very important!!"

……

It had been seven hours since the giant was discovered.

Led by veterans of the Survey Corps, all the soldiers surveyed the surrounding areas in the east, west, south, and north, confirming the damaged sections of the city walls. This was crucial for the security within the walls. Spain was advancing at full speed.

"This place is very close to the city wall, and no one lives here anymore."

"Really? The mission was completed faster than expected."

The one with short, center-parted blonde short curly hair is Nanaba from the Survey Corps. She has peacock-colored eyes and a very tall figure.

She challenged the giants' territory outside the walls with a death wish.

It has the highest mortality rate, so it's a unit that most new recruits would never want to join.

The revolutionary faction within the human camp.

The soldiers were far more elite than those of other legions, as they had been fighting against Titans on the front lines for a long time, so almost everyone had extraordinary combat abilities.

The death rate for new recruits on their first expedition outside the wall is 3%, but those who survive will gradually become outstanding soldiers with a high survival rate.

"Okay, let's continue south."

"why?"

Accompanying the veterans were Ymir, a new recruit of the Survey Corps, and Christa Lance, who was then the de facto ruler of Eldia, Rod Reiss, and...

0545 Illegitimate Daughter [Please Subscribe]

She was the illegitimate daughter of Rod Reiss, the de facto ruler of Eldia at the time, and his concubine. She inherited the Eldian royal bloodline, never saw her father, and grew up on a rural ranch. Later, after her mother was purged, she was forced to change her name to "Christa Lance" and run away to another place. At the age of 12, she joined the 104th Training Corps, and at the age of 15, she joined the Survey Corps. In the Royal Government arc, she was enthroned as the Queen of Eldia by the government.

She has a gentle and kind personality and is known as a "goddess" by her peers. She also has a deep friendship with her best friend Ymir.

Along with Zeke Yeager, he is one of only two Eldians in the world with royal Eldian blood.

Ymir was a little confused as to why they should continue south, so he asked.

"Why? There shouldn't be anyone living any further south."

"We need to pinpoint the location of the breach in the city wall."

"But neither Christa nor I have 3D Maneuver Gear."

This is indeed a problem. Without horses outside the city walls, it's tantamount to death, and without 3D maneuverability, it means no combat capability.

In fact, Ymir's thinking was not wrong.

They did not encounter any giants along their journey.

This means that the giants are in the unknown territory ahead, and they don't know when or where the giants will appear.

"A large number of giants are probably waiting for us in the south. If we continue like this, we'll likely become their prey. Please allow us to temporarily withdraw from the front lines!"

Ymir.

Christa is someone who never makes any demands; her kind nature is mistaken for weakness. At this moment, she is also worried about Ymir—is it really okay for her to talk back to her senior like this? And returning alone outside the walls doesn't seem like a wise decision.

Nanaba refused without hesitation, and his refusal was quite decisive.

“No, we need as many liaisons as possible. I understand how you feel, but since you’ve chosen to join the army, you have to be prepared for everything.”

What comes into view are hills, forests, and a clear lake in the distance.

Seeing the clear lake, the lush grassland, and the beautiful mountains and dense forests in the distance, Lin Yan felt a pang of emotion. In his world, there was little land left unpolluted, and pristine forests were almost extinct.

This crystal-clear lake is truly precious.

This world may seem cruel to humanity, like hell, with giants roaming outside the city walls, devouring humans. But these giants only target humans; they are only interested in eating humans and are indifferent to other animals.

There are no traces of human activity.

The world has become cleaner and more beautiful.

Humanity may indeed be like the most worthless invention, plastic products, forcibly changing the world in the most cruel way.

Now, it's just been restored.

Christa is a petite girl with short blonde hair. She looks very frail, as if she couldn't even lift a chicken.

But her eyes were very determined at that moment.

“Ymir, I want to do my part here, after all, I joined the Survey Corps voluntarily. But you shouldn't, right, Ymir?”

"Back then, the reason you chose the Survey Corps was..."

Are you trying to say I did this for you?

Ymir interrupted Christa and retorted.

Christa was truly special to her, unlike anyone else, which forged a deep emotional bond between them. Perhaps in Ymir's heart, Christa was her "salvation."

A sense of shared suffering sparked Ymir's interest in Christa. Ymir doted on Christa, scolded her, helped her, and even went to great lengths to save her. Christa was like a friend, a lover, and a daughter to Ymir.

Ymir said, "If there is a next life, I want to live for myself next time."
