Everything was so harmonious and beautiful.

"I wanted to build a paradise. What you believe in is violence, isn't it? That's an inescapable reality of this world. But what is it that turned us, who were originally destined to kill each other, into friends? Is it violence?"

Uli spoke eloquently.

Perhaps he pondered many questions, even some difficult philosophical ones.

But did he really get the answer?

Kenny casually tossed out a comment.

"Hmph, I don't know. But if you hadn't grabbed me when you were at your most powerful, I would have definitely shit inside your head... and before I became your so-called friend."

"Yes, that's an unavoidable fact."

In a sense, Kenny and Uri should have come from two different worlds. One was good at thinking, while the other only admired violence. Unexpectedly, they ended up together.

Even so, I still believe in the miracle that happened.

Although Kenny had always followed Uri, he didn't understand what was going on in this man's mind.

"Even at the very end, I still couldn't understand what that guy was thinking."

And that's always been my belief.

However, as Uli said, the monster's power was inherited.

When Kenny looked into the Heir's eyes, he knew that what Uri said was true.

Those were eyes exactly like Uri's.

After that, the successor, Lot's daughter, also spoke of righteousness and morality, repeatedly expounding on human kindness and peace, a tone exactly like Uri's.

At that moment, Kenny began to covet this powerful force. Little did he know that only those with the bloodline of the Reiss family could fully unleash this power.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been completely outmaneuvered by Rod Reis.

Ultimately, it was his greed and ignorance that led him to become someone else's pawn and discarded piece due to his self-righteousness.

While this outcome may not be considered extremely tragic, it is certainly deserved, and Kenny should bear the consequences of his mistakes.

Soon after, Kenny Ackerman joined that organization—the 1st Military Police.

“I am Kenny Ackerman, and I have been called Kenny the Ripper by some people.”

I remember you introducing yourself when you first met the other members of the military police.

"I guess it's because my brother and your elite military police have too many necks (indicating corruption), and they've been punished. A lot has indeed happened. Now I've become..."

"Please take good care of the captain of this newly established anti-human 3D maneuvering unit."

Kenny was still wearing a black trench coat and his almost iconic hat.

Kenny continued, addressing the silent military police officers.

"Of course, I know you can't understand. You must be unhappy to learn that a murderer who has never served in the military police is now your leader."

Kenny, seemingly unconcerned, shrugged and said.

"It doesn't matter."

Suddenly, a blonde female soldier with a cold expression spoke.

"Two years have passed since the walls were breached. We gave up fighting the Titans and instead fought against the remaining human territory... Is this what our existence is all about? We followed the rules within the walls, climbed to the top of the military organization, and this is how it ends. It doesn't matter, none of it matters."

This woman's attitude was very much to Kenny's liking.

He suddenly said in a great mood.

"Don't worry, the so-called organization that opposes the Survey Corps is just a grand pretext I came up with. It's just a piece of paper that got those useless people in the council to nod their approval. You want to know what this organization does? Of course, it's all for—a great dream."

Everyone present, except for the woman, wore expressions of shock, and were naturally very puzzled by the decision made by the higher-ups.

In particular, they appointed a serial killer as their leader and head.

But no one dared to raise any objection to this matter.

That is a power comparable to that of a god, and those who obtain that power seem to become kind and benevolent.

Even a scumbag like him could become like that?

Kenny longed deep down to experience the transformation he would undergo after gaining the power of the Titans.

Can one really become that kind of person?

This is the root of it all: greed and curiosity led Kenny down a different path.

Greedy people are the easiest to exploit, and also the easiest to discard. Most importantly, deep down, Kenny felt he couldn't understand Uri's thoughts and actions…

Kenny Ackerman believed that once he obtained that power, he could understand Uri and stand at the same level as him to see the same view.

But what happened in the end?

"Uri—"

Kenny, covered in wounds, recalled the past and still couldn't let go of the man who had gripped her hand tightly with a giant hand, but who had ultimately knelt down and begged for mercy.

At this moment, a slight look of shock appeared in Levi's eyes as he stood before her.

Kenny patted the syringe.

"This is a dose I stole from Rhodes's bag... It seems that injecting this stuff can turn you into a giant, a brainless giant."

Kenny clutched his wound; his clothes were soaked with blood, indicating a serious injury.

"Becoming a brainless giant will allow you to temporarily save your life."

The afterglow of the setting sun spilled across the earth, creating a harmonious and warm hue as far as the eye could see.

Whether it's the distant mountains or the nearby trees, everything is shrouded in this hue that blurs the lines between reality and dreams.

However, the blood also serves as a reminder to people.

Levi paused for a moment.

As the Survey Corps' most outstanding captain, Levi has extremely ruthless eyes; no detail escapes his notice.

Keen insight is also an essential quality for him to become an excellent sergeant.

He immediately exposed Kenny's deception.

"You clearly had more time and energy to inject him before, why didn't you use it?"

"Yeah, why?"

Kenny retorted with a hint of sarcasm.

Before that, he had more opportunities and more energy; it was then that he received the injection, which allowed him to successfully transform into a Pure Giant.

But Kenny didn't do that.

"If you don't live a proper life in society, you'll become a useless piece of trash like that guy."

Although the giant that Rod Reiss transformed into was enormous, he could only crawl on the ground, trudging forward like a maggot, his entire face worn smooth.

This must be the most useless Titan in the entire Attack on Titan world.

Kenny had seen countless Titans, each with a different form, but the only thing they had in common was that the Pure Titans had no ability to think and no true freedom.

Rather than becoming an Immaculate Giant trapped in that eternal cage, perhaps death would be easier.

“You won’t just sit here and wait to die…” Levi and Kenny were old acquaintances, and based on her understanding of this man, she knew he would never just sit there and wait to die.

Now that things have come to this, what tricks will this man pull?

"Isn't there a more convincing reason?" Levi asked coldly, even though the man in front of him had once raised him, it all seemed insignificant in the face of his mission and responsibility.

"Yes, I don't want to die, and I want power." Kenny didn't lie, making no attempt to hide it; he no longer had any need to lie.

I wonder if the saying "A dying man's words are good" will be proven true in the case of Kenny the Ripper, who killed countless people.

"Oh, I see. Now I understand why that guy did that... I didn't expect to only understand it now... Hahahaha..."

"what?"

This sudden, inexplicable remark left Levi feeling utterly bewildered.

Kenny, however, smiled with relief.

I've always wanted to understand Uri's heart, but I've racked my brains my whole life and still can't understand him. But at the end of my life, it seems like I've suddenly realized something.

“Hahahahahahaha…” Kenny laughed maniacally, almost bursting with laughter. After laughing, he calmed down and said in a low voice, “All the people I know are the same. Some rely on alcohol… some depend on women… some place their hopes on gods… some on family or kings… or dreams, children or violence. Everyone has to be intoxicated by something, otherwise they can’t survive in this world. Everyone is a slave to something, even that monster-like guy is the same.”

So, what kind of slave was Uli?

Is it kindness or tolerance?

Perhaps Kenny has truly figured it out, but no one can possibly know Uri's true thoughts anymore.

Kenny coughed violently, spitting out a lot of blood.

His life was nearing its end.

And what are you?

Kenny looked at Levi and asked, "What does Levi rely on? What is he a slave to?"

"Hero?"

“Kenny.”

Levi grabbed his shoulder, glared at him angrily, and shouted loudly.

"Tell me everything you know, why the First King did not want humanity to continue."

Through the books left by Grisha, Allen and others learned about the true history.

A thousand years ago, the Eldians lived on the continent and were its absolute rulers. However, due to the intervention of Marley, the Eldian nation was torn apart, and civil war raged on.

Perhaps weary of the endless war, King Fritz the 145th led a portion of his people to Paradis Island and, with the power of the Founding Titan, built three high walls.

For some reason, he also forbade the Eldians from exploring history, sealing off all documents of the old history. His will was inherited by the power of the Founding Titan, and subsequent kings continued his policies.

The Founding Titan is said to be able to see the future, and some say that the First King made the "non-war pact" in order to show weakness and seek peace with Marley.

The truth, or rather the prohibition, of the pact of non-aggression was not drafted by Calfritz alone, but by Calfritz, Heros, and Warhammer through cooperation and by activating the power of the progenitor Ymir.

Therefore, the descendants of the progenitors, including Uri and Frida, could not break the bondage of the no-war pact no matter what.

The "god" that Rhodes referred to was none other than the progenitor Ymir!

The very fact that Karl Fritz, Heros, and Warhammer drafted such a strict non-aggression pact was also to ensure the smooth progress of their own plans, while at the same time potentially exerting a powerful constraint on the Colossus and Warhammer themselves.

The reason why the three royal families decided to destroy themselves.

It must be that the Titans saw a future that plunged them into despair, a future that their progenitor Ymir had foreseen two thousand years ago.

Everyone except the first king was deceived, including all the soldiers of the Survey Corps who were determined to give their hearts to humanity and the successive commanders of the Survey Corps.

Although they were deceived, these people were genuinely willing to give their hearts to humanity and fight for human freedom and dignity.

They are not wrong.

At this moment, it's understandable that Levi desperately wants to know the truth.

"I do not know."

Kenny said it casually.

“However, the reason we Ackerman are opposed to the monarchy is because of this…” As Kenny said this, he spat out another mouthful of blood, which landed directly on Levi’s face.

The Ackerman family had been oppressed and persecuted by the monarchy because of their lineage.

However, Levi never knew what kind of relationship he had with the Ackerman family.

"I think my last name is also Ackerman."
