Commander Pixis, Regimental Commander Erwin Smith, and Captain Levi listened quietly to their statements, not missing a single word.

……

The whole process was shocking.

Finally they understood, but it was terrifying.

The first to speak was Commander Pixis, a seasoned veteran who had honed his skills over many years, and naturally remained the most composed.

"You mean the giants that appeared this time were actually villagers from Rajago Village?"

Commander Pixis had a strong understanding of things, and he was also shocked by this amazing conclusion. Erwin Smith continued his words.

"In other words, the true identity of the Titans... is actually human."

Squad Leader Hanji was a very cautious person, quite different from her seemingly crazy appearance, she said calmly.

There is no conclusive evidence yet.

"So...you mean...I'm constantly on the go..."

"Fighting desperately until now..." Something seemed to be breaking down in Levi's heart. He had been fighting with hatred for the Titans all along, but he found that his understanding was completely wrong.

What an absurd joke.

How absurd!

How utterly incomprehensible!

Even Levi, who had always remained unfazed by the collapse of Mount Tai, showed a slight tremor in his voice, "So, you've been killing people all along?"

Levi has always been a man of strong likes and dislikes. He has always believed that Titans are beasts, fundamentally different from humans, and that they are beasts driven by desire.

As intelligent human beings, we must reclaim our dignity.

And now——

What exactly is going on here?

Squad Leader Hange has followed Levi for so many years, every expedition has been fraught with enormous risks, every battle against the Titans has been a near-death experience. She has survived every single one of these battles, fighting with all her might.

This harsh reality is certainly not easy to accept.

So Squad Leader Hanji emphasized it again.

"Didn't we say there was no conclusive evidence?"

……

Connie walked out of the room, holding a family photo with his parents in his hands, tears streaming down his face.

What's most intriguing isn't the pained Connie, nor the pensive Commander Pixis, nor even the somewhat frustrated Captain Levi, but rather the Survey Corps Commander Erwin Smith, who sports a strange smile.

At this point, only the two of them remained in the room.

Levi stared at Erwin Smith's smiling face. His mind went blank; he was even more astonished than by the shocking news. Why was Erwin Smith wearing such a strange smile? Was there something to be happy about?

Humanity's enemy is not giants, but other humans.

What an ironic truth.

Erwin Smith, the commander of the Survey Corps, actually laughed.

Levi questioned him with a serious expression.

"Alvin, what...what are you laughing at?"

Instantly, Alvin Smith's smile faded considerably, and gradually the smile disappeared from his face, replaced by a composed expression.

"It's nothing. It seems we're one step closer to the truth."

Is there only one step?

Levi is the one who knows the history of the Survey Corps' battles better than anyone else. He has seen so many sacrifices, so much bloodshed, and so many people die inside the bellies of Titans. But did such cruel and enormous sacrifices only shorten the distance to the truth?

"Consider the number of giants and humans who were used as stepping stones, it's just too unfair."

"But this step is very significant."

"Irwin Smith said."

He was once a man who bravely pursued his dreams, but in the end… Erwin Smith confessed his own dreams and selfish motives to Levi, and smiled with relief after Levi chose to “give up your dreams and die.” He then led the new recruits in a suicidal charge against the Beast Titan, creating an opportunity for Levi to kill it. During the charge, he was struck in the abdomen by a rock shard thrown by the Beast Titan and fell.

In the end, Irwin Smith gave his life for humanity.

0632 The City Wall That Hides the Truth [Please Subscribe]

The air was heavy, and Erwin Smith's gaze hardened once again in the face of Levi's questioning.

"One day, we will definitely be able to break through that wall that hides the truth."

The person who knows the truth of the secret is inside the city walls, but this person does not belong to this world. The secret of this world must be revealed at the right time.

at the same time.

In a corridor somewhere, everyone looked somber.

Especially Alan Yeager.

"I've been captured again, which is why the Survey Corps suffered so many losses. It was all because they tried to rescue me... It's all my fault, all my fault, all my fault... Those were experienced soldiers... They've undergone so much training and survived so many battles..."

Alan Yeager looked pained.

He had actually anticipated things would turn out that way when he was captured, but he was helpless. At that time, he had neither arm nor the ability or opportunity to escape, nor could he resist Reiner Brown and Berthold Hoover.

How much regret I feel.

It was so heavy.

Lin Yan looked at the distant sky. Even in such a cruel world, the sky was still so blue. So where was freedom? Beside him were Mikasa Ackerman, Jean, who was silent, and Armin, who was looking at Eren.

"It was all to get me back... But we also owe a debt to Lin Yan, otherwise there would probably have been many more soldiers who died."

"And we made another important discovery, which is the power you displayed back then... that power..."

Armin seemed to have hit the nail on the head.

He was someone who could think even under intense pressure; he could always see things that others couldn't. Lin Yan also heard Armin's words; this young man was indeed a promising talent, someone to be expected to succeed in the future.

Although everyone trusts Lin Yan more.

Both Commander Pixis and Erwin Smith had higher expectations for Lin Yan, but he didn't belong to this world and would eventually leave it. Therefore, Armin was the one with the most promising future.

Alan Yeager seemed not to have reacted yet.

"What power?"

"That power you had on the way back, the power that drove the giants back then, that was your power, wasn't it?"

Armin was quite certain that it was Alan Yeager who could do this.

After all, he was the one with the power of a giant.

Moreover, this makes everything make sense. If Eren's Attack Titan really does have that ability, then Reiner Brown and Bertholdt Hoover must have wanted to kidnap Eren Yeager because of this special ability.

Of course, at this point they did not know that it was the power of coordinates.

"Of course, this is just speculation. But if it's not, then Reiner and Bertholdt's actions cannot be explained. If you were just an ordinary Titan, then they wouldn't have needed to take such a big risk, in terms of combat strength..."

0633 In this world, there are only those who know and those who are kept in the dark. [Please subscribe]

“Reiner and Bertholdt are both stronger than you... If they are captured during their mission, then it would be a huge loss for the enemy. This is just speculation, after all, we don’t know who the enemy is, but you also said that Reiner and Bertholdt said they would take you back to your hometown, so that hometown is probably on the side of our enemy.”

Let the analysts proceed step by step.

Armin also strongly agreed with this speculation.

“I understand how you feel, Allen. But whether those who died died a worthy death or a pointless one depends largely on your decision.”

This is a heavy burden.

At this moment, Jean and Armin turned to Lin Yan and asked.

"What do you think?"

"Yes, tell me your opinion."

Lin Yan paused for a moment.

he said slowly.

"First, Reiner, Bertholdt, and Annie's identities as spies have been confirmed. Second, we also know that humans can transform into Titans, and we'll call these intelligent Titans for now. Third, since the other Titans lack the ability to think and communicate, we can conclude that it's not Titans controlling humans, but humans controlling Titans. In conclusion, the idea that 'the humans inside the walls are the only remaining humans' is incorrect. Therefore, our enemy remains humanity, and they live elsewhere in this world. That is Reiner and Bertholdt's homeland."

The analysis was very logical and well-reasoned.

Very organized.

Everyone listened in stunned silence, their long-held beliefs seemingly shifting in an instant. How many secrets and lies still exist in this world, and how many people are aware of them?

"In this world, there are only those who know the truth and those who are kept in the dark."

Lin Yan said...

Irwin Smith said the same thing: that man was indeed a rare talent, a general.

No matter when or where, one can see through appearances to the essence of things.

"We can even make a bold guess: the giants in this world are actually just humans themselves..."

When this idea was uttered, no one uttered a word. Their eyes widened in astonishment as they exchanged bewildered glances. Alan Yeager, however, looked at Lin Yan with a serious expression and asked...

Why...why would you say that?

Do you think I'm right?

"I...I don't know...I really don't know...I..."

"Perhaps those secrets will be discovered soon..." Lin Yan's words always carried a deeper meaning; he didn't want to completely unravel this layer of mystery. The secret of this world is indeed that the Titans are humans transformed. There are other secrets, such as the Beast Titan Zeke Yeager being Eren Yeager's half-brother, the leader of the trio from his hometown, the Marleyan warrior captain Zeke Yeager, and described by the author as the strongest Titan.

With long and powerful arms, they excel at throwing stones and ammunition for powerful ranged attacks. They can also unleash a small-scale, incomplete version of the Coordinate Force and command mindless giants to launch attacks.

However, his personality is cold and ruthless...

0634 The Truth of History [Please Subscribe]

One day in the future, the Eldian Empire and the Malay Empire will surely clash in an epic war, a war that will undoubtedly be incredibly brutal. The true historical truth was concealed in the past.

In fact, about 2000 years ago, Ymir Fritz made a pact with the Earth Demon and gained the power of the Titans.

After Ymir Fritz died, her soul split into nine Titans and established the Eldian Empire, which destroyed the ancient nation of Marley and became the dominant power on the continent.

King Fritz Karl Fritz, the 145th king, grew weary of the Eldian Empire's constant warfare and led the majority of Eldians to migrate to Paradis Island, where they used the power of the Founding Titan to build three walls.

He was isolated from the world from then on, and used the power of the Founding Titan to erase the memories of the people, using the Titans as a buffer zone.

From then on, they had no further dealings with the Malay regime on the mainland.

Another group of Eldians remained on the mainland, imprisoned by the Marleyans within the high walls of the internment zone.

The Malay government discovered that Paradis Island itself and its underground contain abundant natural resources, fossil fuels, mineral resources, natural gas, coal, and other energy resources.

One of the most coveted resources by countries around the world is the large amount of ice-burst rocks produced on the island using the power of giants.

In preparation for the impending era of energy competition, the Marleyan government claims to have received a challenge from King Fritz. Therefore, it intends to select children aged 5 to 7 from the Eldians in the containment zone to inherit the power of the Titans and go to Paradis Island to find and seize the Founding Titan, thereby weakening Eldia's military strength and seizing Paradis Island.

Grisha Yeager, the leader of the Eldian restorationists, decided to send his son Zeke Yeager to run for the position, hoping that Zeke could seize the power of the Founding Titan before the Marleyan government could.

However, Zeke reported the Eldian Restorationists to the Marleyan government, and all members of the Eldian Restorationists were taken to Paradis Island by the Marleyan government.

Except for Grisha and Glaes, everyone else was transformed into the Immaculate Giants.

Eren Kruger reveals to Grisha that he is "Owl," the informant who provided information to the Restorationists. Eren Kruger transforms into the Attack Titan and annihilates all the Marleyan soldiers escorting the Eldians.

Knowing his life was nearing its end, Eren Kruger transformed Grisha into the Pure Titan and then devoured himself to gain the power of the Attack Titan, thereby seizing the power of the Founding Titan.

In 845, the year the story begins, Marley begins implementing the "Founding Titan Retrieval Plan".

They dispatched Reiner Brown, the Armored Titan, as a spy.
