Frieda fully transformed into her Founding Titan and stood up in front of the Reiss family, facing Grisha's Attack Titan. Finally, both of them charged each other. Frieda's Titan gave out an angry roar and tried to make contact with Grisha's Titan with her right hand, but he quickly evaded it, sending his right arm trying to punch Founding Titan's face. Frieda dodged it in time, being ready to send a counterattack, but Attack Titan quickly sent the next punch right into his opponent's face successfully, causing blood to erupt from the impact.
Historia looked away again. "Why do we have to see this again?"
Eren looked at her sadly. He wanted to talk to her, but he listened to what Ymir told him and gave her time.
Both Titans fall, with Grisha's being on top of Frieda's. Founding Titan tried to get from the opponent's lock, but immediately received multiple punches in the face, turning Attack Titans's fist completely bloody. Then, it used another hand to rip off Frieda's Titan's left arm and threw it away behind him. Finally, Grisha leaned towards the nape of the severely beaten Founding Titan, bit it, and pulled his head up to eat the Royal. The pull was so strong that he also ripped off the head of Frieda that landed right in front of the Royal family, much to their horror.
Finally, Attack Titan stood up, now with his eyes turning purple. Then he menacingly looked at the witnesses of the battle. Grisha immediately crushed Abel and Dirk Reiss with his hand, stomped on Florian and her mother who tried to escape, and rose his hand with Urklyn in it, before squashing him to his death, as the blood from his body made the screen fade away.
Ymir put her hands over Historia's ears, so she didn't have to listen to it either.
"How awful." Petra mumbled.
The scenery changed to the forest where Reiss Chapel was located. Grisha was sitting on his knees, and looked down to the ground, with his Titan marks still visible. An open case with a loaded syringe was laying near him. His eyes were watery, he was close to tearing up.
"Why won't you show me everything? The Wall is being destroyed... The day it happens... If Carla is safe..." Grisha said with a shivering voice as he grabbed his forehead and his body began to shake. "Was this really the only way?"
Zeke was standing right before him. "You are there, aren't you, Zeke?" Grisha quietly murmured. Zeke stared at his father with wide eyes.
"From here on, things won't go your way. Only Eren will get what he wants," Grisha said.
Hange's eyes widened and shared a look with Erwin. "How much did Eren manipulate in total? What do you think?" she whispered.
Erwin hummed. "More than just his Father... But who and when, I don't know..."
Levi glanced at them. "I have a bad feeling about this."
"What... Did you say?" Zeke asked in disbelief.
Grisha slightly looked up. "I saw Eren's memories of what comes next. But I never imagined it would be so terrible."
He fully looked up at him and gasped at whom he saw with teary eyes. "Zeke...?" He stood up and brought his hands to the front. "Is that you?! How you've grown! I'm sorry... I was a terrible father. The things I put you through were so cruel." He moved forward and hugged Zeke. Zeke's face was full of shock and fear. "Zeke... I love you!" Tears started to roll down Grisha's face. "If only I had spent more time with you..." Grisha started to cry on his son's shoulder, while Zeke was staring into the distance, trying to process everything.
Finally, Zeke gave in, and tears formed in his eyes. "Father..."
"Zeke... please stop, Eren." Grisha said. Zeke gasped as he saw Eren with a dark and angry expression.
Suddenly, Eren's 15 years old self's angry face from the ceremony flashed in Zeke's eyes. Yellow lightning crackled again and Zeke fell on the sand at the Paths. Zeke held his face with closed eyes. Then he looked up and gasped as Eren was looking down at him with godly eyes, still being chained up.
"Eren..."
"We still haven't seen the part where I eat him," Eren said.
"Well... I'm glad we didn't have to see that." Sasha said with a shiver down her spine.
"Me too." Connie mumbled.
"I don't want to see it, either." Eren mumbled.
"I think none of us want to..." Mikasa mumbled.
Historia wiped her tears away from her face and glanced shortly at Eren. She took a deep breath before she looked back at the screen.
"Did you... push Father into fighting the King of the Walls... and the World?" Zeke asked with shock written all over his face as he continued, "If the Attack Titan really has the power to transcend time, you could show him just the memories which suited you to alter the past. Father... Grisha hesitated to carry out his Restorationist mission. He knew he couldn't use the Founding Titan's power, even if he stole it. Except he did steal it- and entrusted it to you. Because of what he'd seen in the future. Something in the future – something you showed him."
"I'm grateful, brother," Eren said. "This was only possible because you brought me into Dad's memories."
Zeke gasped and looked at his half-brother with wide eyes. "He said things wouldn't go my way – that only you would get what you want."
"Yeah. I saw it four years ago." Eren said. "I saw my own future through Dad's memories." The screen changed to the moment Eren kissed Historia's hand, and then to him still holding with gritted teeth and shocked expression. "What a sight it was."
"I knew it... there was more..." Levi said with narrowed eyes.
Petra frowned. "And he didn't talk to anyone when he saw that... That was probably a lot to take in... to deal with that alone..."
Mikasa looked at Eren. "Not this time, Eren. This time, we won't let you alone with this. "
Eren frowned. He wanted to answer, but then he saw a short flicker of a memory that didn't happen yet, and kept silent.
"Eren, we are here for you." Armin told him, but Eren didn't answer.
Zeke furrowed his eyebrows and gritted his teeth in fury as he turned towards the standing Founder Ymir. " Founder Ymir!" he commanded, "Make Eldians unable to reproduce anymore!" Founder Ymir seemingly obliged as she turned around and started walking towards the Coordinate.
"No!"
"Do you want Titans to tremble the world flat?" Jean asked Connie.
"No, both of the plans are shit. I don't want both of them to happen." Connie answered.
Ymir sighed. "And we know, who's plan will succeed."
Eren's eyes widened as his face was filled with horror: "The Coordinate!"
"Grisha told me, 'Please stop, Eren," Zeke said with a resigned tone and closed his eyes. Eren started painting trying to get free from the chains as he stared at the Ymir approaching the glowing tree.
Candy looked away from the screen. 'That's going to hurt...'
Zeke looked up at Eren "He regretted listening to you. I don't know what sort of future you saw through Father's memories, but you didn't see everything, right? For example, you didn't know you couldn't use the Founder's power here. You're as powerless as ever."
Eren was yelling his lungs out in pain and desperation as the chained area of his arms started to bleed from his efforts to get free and slowly slipped through the chains. Finally, he got free from them, falling with bloody hands on the sand. He quickly looked up and started running towards the Founder with gritted teeth.
Ymir winced, rubbing her hands. "Ouch.... That hurt just watching this."
Zeke looked surprised at the chains. One of them had a ripped bloody thumb with skin attached to it. Eren rushed towards Founder, slipping on the sand.
"It's pointless, Eren. Once Ymir started moving, there is nothing in this world that will stop her." Zeke said as Eren jumped with his thumbless hand stretching towards the Founder in an effort to stop her from walking.
"I think he cares. He's doing what he wants. And possibly doing the impossible." Jean commented.

The scenery changed to the farm field as the two birds were flying in the sky.
"You're amazing, Historia! Look at how well you can read now!" Frieda exclaimed happily wearing a farm hat and looking at the young Historia. Both of them were sitting against the huge hay pile.
Historia's eyes widened. "I remember this... That was the last day I saw her..." (A/N: It wasn't clear how much she remembered, but I'm just going with this. If she doesn't let me know. :) )
Ymir looked at her and rubbed her back.
Eren looked down. 'Because of me, she never saw her again... but it was necessary...' He winced at the last words.
"That's only because you taught me so much!" Historia replied with a huge smile on her face. Then, a small snot appeared on her nose.
"Hey, we can't have this. You've got a runny nose. You need to learn to be more ladylike, Historia," Frieda said with a motherly tone as she took out a small handkerchief from her bag, putting it on Historia's nose, "Here, blow." At his, a young blonde girl blew her nose as Frieda looked at her with a smile: "Ooh! Good! Very well done!"
Petra smiled sadly at Historia. "Your sister was a kind woman."
"Yes, she was..." she nodded.
"Hey?" Historia requested her half-sister.
"Hmm?" Frieda asked in response.
"What does being ladylike mean?" Historia asked with big curiosity.
The question made Frieda think thoroughly: "Well... I suppose being ladylike means..." Frieda struggled to make a full answer before looking at the book Historia was holding and pointing at the picture in it, "Being a lot like this girl right here". The girl Frieda was pointing at was stretching an apple to the monstrous creature.
Hange's eyes widened, recognizing the picture. "She told you about Ymir?"
"I... I don't know, she never told me her name. Only how kind she was to the other people around her." Historia explained, a bit surprised.
"What if we're actually going to see her now..." Armin wondered.
Hange's eyes shone. "That would answer so many questions."
"You like her, too, don't you?" Frieda asked, as Historia quickly replied, "Yeah." "She's always thinking about other people because she's so kind." Frieda explained.
|~|
The scenery changed to the ancient village on the hill. People were going on with their life peacefully. A ten-year-old Founder Ymir was collecting water from a well for an elderly woman who was standing beside her grandson.
"We're actually getting to see it!" Hange said in excitement.
"And we will know which version was actually true. Marley's version or Eldia's version." Jean murmured.
Suddenly, the horde of soldiers with their leader approached the village on horses, carrying spears. The view changed to the village now covered in fire and destruction. All houses were burnt down and destroyed, the elders, including an old lady near the well, were killed, and the young people, including Founder Ymir, were chained and enslaved.
Eren glared at the TV. 'How dare they? Enslaving those people...?'
"All those people... killed and enslaved." Petra said in horror.
"I didn't expect a happy story. We know it won't end good." Mikasa said.
Sasha frowned. "Ymir looks so young there. How old was she? 10? 12?"
"How awful." Historia said sadly.
"Because this world is full of pain and suffering," Frieda's voice continued. Young people's tongues were cut out by soldiers. "You should become someone everyone loves" Frieda said, as Ymir was pushed ahead by a soldier to cut her tongue.
Petra gasped. "All those people..."
Eren's fists shook in rage at the scene.
The ash pieces from the burning buildings were flying into the sky. Then, they changed into flower petals dropping at the kissing wedding couple. All enslaved villagers were carrying heavy buckets of water under the supervision of soldiers. However, Ymir had stopped in her tracks, carrying a bucket, to see the wedding of a couple.
"And live while helping each other out," Frieda finished as Ymir was staring with wide eyes and opened mouth as the newlywed couple kissed each other.
A door of the pig barn slowly opened.
Levi looked at the TV thoughtfully. "Why would they show this particular scene? I don't see why it would be important."
Erwin narrowed his eyes. "Well, it could be... but we will know, probably later."
Ymir crossed her arms. "If it wasn't relevant, the scene wouldn't show up. I'm sure of that."
King Fritz was on his throne, fist on his cheek, addressing his slaves who had horrified expressions on their faces. "One of you let a pig escape," Fritz blankly said, looking at the slaves. "If nobody fesses up, every one of you loses an eye. Slaves have no need for two."
To save themselves, 13 fingers pointed at Ymir, who stood there, looking down.
"Seriously!" Jean was furious.
"She didn't deserve that." Sasha said frowning.
The next moment, she kneeled before the Eldian King. "You're the one who let it escape?" Fritz demanded. Ymir looked around her with a shocked expression as the others stared at her. Then she turned back and bowed down to King Fritz.
"Those damn bastards." Connie said. "And she took the blame... why?"
"Because she was a very kind person. Who looked after others." Historia repeated her sister's words.
"Very well. You're free." Fritz finalized.
"What?" Armin asked, confused. "Just like that?"
"I wouldn't believe his words. We saw only a little, but I don't think he's so kind to just let her go like that." Mikasa said.
Hange hummed in agreement, she had thought the same thing.
Ymir was running in the forest, panting heavily with a bloodied face, while an arrow had pierced her nape. Behind her, four Eldian soldiers on horses and a hunter dog were chasing her to hunt her down. One soldier pulled his bow and shot an arrow that came piercing through Ymir's left leg.
"They're hunting her down like she's a wild animal!" Sasha yelled with disgust in her voice.
"Disgusting." Jean said with gritted teeth.
Future-Eren glanced at Maria, who looked away from the screen, tears were in her eyes as she looked down at the ground.
Ymir fell to the ground and started to roll down, stopping behind small bushes. The soldiers had stopped moving and started looking around for the small girl they were hunting. Ymir slightly brought her head up and looked at a blood-covered white flower. Tears rolled down her face and she let out a muffled cry.
Ymir gritted her teeth. She knew it would be terrible, but this was worse than she imagined.
Historia was shocked by what she saw. "That's just awful... Those bastards."
Mikasa narrowed her eyes as her expression darkened.
When she looked ahead, she saw a cave under a giant tree. She slowly stood up, holding her shoulder. She looked to her left as she heard the neighs of horses. She slowly walked inside the cave when the soldiers approached the tree.
"I hope she's safe in there." Armin muttered.
Levi raised an eyebrow. 'That's some big ass tree.'
"I hope they don't follow her in there." Petra said, worried.
She stopped at a cliff, but her foot slipped. With a cry, she slid down the hole and fell into the giant pond. The impact made her semi unconscious, and she began to drown. She tried to breathe, but nothing worked, and she kept drowning deep in the water.
Suddenly, a glowing centipede-like creature came swimming by to her. It stopped right under Ymir and touched her spine with its tentacles.
"What the... what is that thing?!" Connie said confused.
"It looks like a creature..." Mikasa said with wide eyes.
Eren felt a tingle at his spine when he saw the scene. His hand touched his back. "This is it..." he said.
Hange looked at him and back to the screen. "That thing is the reason, Titans exist..." She took a deep breath. "Woah!! This changes everything! There was never a deal with a devil! She just accidentally stumbled across it..."
"It looks harmless." Sasha pointed out.
"It is far from harmless." Ymir said.
Jean eyed Eren with furrowed brows. "It's weird to think that this thing is in your spine now."
Eren froze, took his hand from his back and looked at him. "I'd rather not think about it."
The creature and Ymir began to glow and a giant spark of yellow lightning struck on the tree, knocking it instantly.
"We know that the Eldian version was true. I bet she will look beautiful, like in the picture we saw that one time." Connie said with a big grin.
Sasha elbowed him in the side with a shake of her head.
Several birds flew away, and the soldiers were looking at the lightning with a fearful expression. When the lightning stopped, there stood the first Titan. The Founding Titan emerged from the lightning and roared, throwing her head down as her ribs began to grow outside her body. Ymir Fritz's Titan form was enormous, with blonde hair and long, protruding ribs. Her Titan's face possessed no apparent skin, musculature, or eyes, leaving only a visible skull.
Connie's grin slipped from his face, and Ymir snorted when she saw his face. "Does she still looks beautiful to you." she said with a teasing smirk.
Hange answered for Connie. "She looks wonderful!!"
Levi rolled his eyes. "All Titans look wonderful to you." he grumbled.
"Because they are." she told him with shining eyes.
King Fritz was sitting on his golden throne, addressing his slaves. A teen Ymir had kneeled before him. "You've done well, my slave, Ymir," Fritz said. "You've built roads, cultivated the wilds, and bridged mountains. My tribe, Eldia, has grown quite large."
Historia sighed. "I wished she would run away or take revenge on them. But she isn't like that, I know..."
Eren didn't like this one bit. He glared at Fritz.
Ymir bowed down in front of Fritz. "As a reward, I shall give you my seed," Fritz said.
"Ew...!!"
"Gross!"
"That's not a reward, that's punishment..." Petra said disgusted.
"I'm going to be sick." Levi grumbled.
The tribe of Eldia was in a war against the Marleyan tribe. Fritz was riding ahead with his troops, holding a spear. Behind them was the Founding Titan, who was roaring. "In the name of Fritz, annihilate the vile people of Marley!" Fritz ordered.
Later that day, Fritz, and his soldiers returned, carrying severed heads of Marleyan soldiers while Ymir was walking side by side with Fritz. The people of Eldia were cheering for them.
A pregnant Ymir was sitting on a chair, holding her swollen belly, while soldiers were marching through the street. The midwife handed a baby to Ymir, who just gave birth. Ymir held her daughter with a blank expression on her face.
Maria stiffened beside Future-Eren, she swallowed heavily.
Candy looked at Maria, worried. She nodded slightly, to tell her that she was okay.
Erwin narrowed his eyes. He had a theory....
In the middle of a war, huge sparks of yellow lightning struck the ground, shocking everyone. The Founding Titan appeared and brought her hand to grab the soldiers.
Ymir was holding baby Rose when two years old Maria walked up to her.
"How many children does she have to bear?" Mikasa said.
Armin was deep in his thoughts.
Jean huffed. "As many children as Fritz wants to."
"Three." Eren said.
"How do you know that?" Connie asked.
"I just do..." he just said.
'Just like the walls, I wouldn't be surprised when the walls are actually named after them.' Erwin thought.
With the help of the Founding Titan, many roads, and houses were built. Eldian soldiers were lined up before the stage. Ymir walked up to the throne, holding Sina while Rose and Maria were walking with her. Female slaves were dressing up Fritz, behind the stage, while Ymir was looking at him.
Fritz started addressing his soldiers, sitting on his throne, while Ymir and her daughters were standing beside him. Suddenly, one of the soldiers, who was on his knees, grabbed a spear hidden in the ground and threw it, aiming at Fritz. He was quickly killed by three guards. Before the spear could hit the king, Ymir jumped in front of him and the spear came piercing through her chest. Ymir fell on the stairs, in front of Fritz, in a pool of blood.
Maria let out a sob, and Future-Eren grabbed her hand and gave it a comforting squeeze. He knew what it is like to watch your mother die twice.
"Shit..." Jean mumbled.
Erwin hummed. "I wonder how many years have passed by now."
Levi looked at him questioningly. "You mean..."
Erwin nodded. "It could be."
Fritz looked down at her with a shocked expression. Ymir was still staring at him with wide eyes when her daughters ran towards her, crying.
"What are you doing? Get up." Fritz said. "I know you won't die from a mere spear, my slave, Ymir." Ymir slowly closed her eyes as she was dying.
"So, she chose to die after 13 years?" Sasha asked.
Hange nodded. "It seems so." She noticed Erwin's expression in the corner of her eyes. She looked at him. "You had a hunch, didn't you?"
He smiled at her. "Not for long."
"And what happens now? Ymir was the only one who could turn into a Titan. How did the other Titans come about?" Connie asked confused.
Ymir looked at him. "Do you really want to know?"
Connie thought for a second. "You know what? No, I don't."
Ymir's body was being chopped into pieces, and they were put into the food bowls. Her daughters were eating pieces of their mother's corpse with horrified expressions, while a crowd was watching them with disgusted looks.
"What the hell..." Levi whispered in disgust.
"They chopped her into pieces?!" Armin said horrified.
Historia covered her mouth with her hand. "I'm going to be sick..."
"Yeah, I didn't want that answer..." Connie's face turned a bit green.
"Feast, my daughters! Whatever it takes, Ymir's power must be carried on!" Fritz said, standing behind his daughters. "Eat every last piece of Ymir's body, Maria... Rose... Sina!"
"What?!" Petra asked.
"Of course..." Armin said in realization. "I always wondered why the walls had these names. King Fritz named them in honor of Ymir's children."
Erwin nodded in agreement. "That's right."
"But forcing them to eat their mother? This man is absolutely insane." Mikasa said with hate in her voice.
Hange's eyes widened. "Could that be the reason?"
"What are you talking about?" Eren asked her, while he tried to control his anger.
"The reason the Titans eat people in the first place. We knew already that they eat to find Shifter, so they could turn back into humans. But this could be the reason they're eating humans in general. Because Ymir's children ate their mother and gained her powers and inherited the urge to eat humans."
"That would explain so much." Ymir said.
"So, we're only in this shitty world full of Titans because this idiot was so power hungry and forced his daughters to continue Ymir's work?" Levi asked.
"Pretty much." Candy answered him.
"If he wasn't already dead, I would kill him." Eren grumbled.
The glowing tree started glowing as Ymir turned around with a surprised look. Three branches formed from the base of the tree.
Historia frowned. "She's at this place for so long..."
"I don't like this." Sasha said.
Fritz was on his deathbed, while his daughters were standing beside his bed with sad expressions.
"My daughters... Bear children and multiply." Fritz said. "Ymir's blood must be passed on. If my daughters die, feed their spines to my grandchildren. If they die, feed their spines from child to child! Even after I pass, Eldia will dominate the lands with its horrors, and our Titans shall reign supreme for eternity!"
The Founder Ymir watched as the three branches multiplied to thousands of small branches.
"And so, it goes on and on until here in the present." Petra sighed.
She turned around and picked up a bucket, full of water, and started moving towards a small hill to make Titan bodies from the white sand, leaving footprints behind. She arrived at a very and started making the bodies of the Wall Titans with a blank expression.
"She's making the Wall Titans all alone with just a bucket..." Mikasa said with a frown. "She probably made also all the Titans ever existed."
Eren was glaring at the TV, he didn't like that one bit. Slavery... Everyone should be free and live peacefully.
"Even after I pass, Eldia will dominate the lands with its horrors, and our Titans shall reign supreme for eternity!" Fritz exclaimed, "So long as far as my world exists, forever and--"
Jean groaned. "Can he please shut up?"
"I'll end it!" Eren suddenly screamed while holding Founder Ymir near the Coordinate, "I'll put an end to this world! Give me your strength! You're not a slave! You're not a god! You're just a person! You don't have to bow to anyone! You can decide! It's your choice! You get to choose! Do you wanna stay here for eternity, or should I end this?!"
Maria's eyes widened and she looked at Future-Eren. "You're going to free her?"
He looked at her and nodded.
Maria covered her mouth with her hand. "Thank you, Eren. She deserves finally to leave this awful place."
Future-Eren looked back at the screen. 'But the price for that is high.'
Zeke was looking with a horrified expression at both of them in the distance, weakly hearing the last part: "Eren? Stop it! What's the big idea?! What are you doing?!" Finally, Zeke gritted his teeth in anger as he started running towards both his brother and Founder "Ymir! Obey my command!" Zeke yelled as he was running, "I said, "Make Eldians unable to reproduce!"
"Not going to happen." Jean said with crossed arms.
"Were you the one who led me here?" Eren quietly asked Founder Ymir.
"Do it now, Ymir!" Zeke screamed with desperation in his voice.
"You've been waiting this whole time..." Eren continued.
"I'm a descendant of royal blood!" Zeke screamed as he slipped on the sand.
Ymir rolled her eyes. "As if both of them care about that right now."
Connie nodded. "They're having an important right now. But we don't like this either, what's going to happen after that."
"For 2,000 years... For someone." Eren finished semi-closing his eyes in anticipation of Ymir's choice.
Zeke was close to both of them and stretched his hand in an attempt to stop Eren. Ymir's eyes were finally fully seen as she gritted her teeth as tears were escaping her eyes. Her face had a mix of anger and sadness.
"I feel so bad for her. She deserves to be free like everyone else." Petra said with a frown.
'But everyone else isn't free, not yet at least.' Eren thought to himself.
|~|
Suddenly, the huge centipede that connected itself to the Founder Ymir 2000 years ago, sprung out of Eren's body in Shiganshina and stretched across the sky, and attached itself to Eren's severed head laying on Zeke's hand.
"Holy shit!" Connie exclaimed.
"Fascinating!" Hange yelled. "I have to know everything about this thing!"
"It looks creepy." Sasha commented.
Eren's eyes moved towards Zeke as the centipede grabbed Zeke with its multiple tentacles. A huge spark of yellow lightning struck at that place, sending an electric shockwave nearby and outside the District. Suddenly, the Walls of Shiganshina began to crumble and break. A small part of it fell, revealing an eye of the Wall Titan.
"Fuck!" Jean cursed as he looked at the scene in shock.
"Now everything is turning to shit." Levi said.
"It's really happening..." Eren whispered.
Maria's eyes widened. "What exactly are you doing?"
"The only thing to free your mother and this island." Futrure-Eren answered her.
Armin and Mikasa flew towards Cart Titan with their blades ready to strike it down, as the Titan looked up at them in anticipation of attack. Suddenly, the Wall beneath it began to break, which caused Pieck inside of it to gasp in shock. Armin and Mikasa gasped in surprise.
Screaming, a Marleyan soldier and Floch fell off the crumbling Wall. Connie and Jean were watching at the sight in surprise.
Gabi, who was knocked out, slowly opened her eyes and gasped. The Shiganshina Wall began to break, revealing Colossal titans.
"Damn, what a scary sight." Ymir commented.
"I hope she doesn't get hurt." Sasha said worried.
The hardening materials from the Wall fell to the ground and created shockwaves of dust. Gabi was sitting on the ground as she gasped in horror at what she was witnessing.
In front of her, a giant skull with green-glowing eyes roared and went up to the sky. The gigantic spine from it started to extend as the giant rib cage began to form from his skeletal spine with large sparks of yellow lightning, sending debris everywhere from the transformation.
"Woah!" Hange's eyes were shining in amazement. "He's huge!"
Erwin's eyes were wide. He was too stunned to speak currently from what he was witnessing.
The Armored titan ran towards Gabi, stretching out a hand. "Gabi!" Reiner yelled.
After the whole Wall of Shiganshina fell to the ground, it created a huge shockwave. Mikasa and Armin were looking at Eren's monstrous Founding Titan form with wide eyes, kneeling on a rooftop.
Mikasa gasped, looking ahead as the huge, monstrous Titan with a gigantic and spiky spine started to walk away from them. "What is that? It's enormous... It looked as if it appeared from where Eren was. That's..."
"That's Eren." Mikasa sighed. She glanced at Eren beside her. But his face was blank not revealing any emotion, and it worried her to no end.
Armin looked at the Wall Titans' marching with wide eyes. "He did it!" He turned to Mikasa, "Eren did it!"
"I can't hear you!" Mikasa shouted.
"We won!" Armin shouted.
Mikasa put her hand on her ear. "What?"
"Eren has control of the Founder!" Armin shouted. Mikasa leaned in slightly. "If the rumbling has begun, Eren's the one behind it!" Armin yelled. "He's going to crush the global alliance assembling in Marley! He is fulfilling his mission!"
"That's sadly not the case." Armin sighed. "I hope we find a way without the rumbling crushing the world."
"We have more time now." Jean said. "We already saw which ideas didn't work."
Levi looked at Eren. 'We have to find another way.'
Yelena and Onyankopon were watching the sight in horror through the glass windows, of a building. Yelena had a surprised expression. "Zeke..."
Armin and Mikasa were looking at the marching in silence and horror. "Eren... he came back?" Mikasa quietly asked, "Back to us?"
Suddenly, Armin exclaimed with gritted teeth as he was looking in the other direction: "Wait a second. What's going on? There's no way. He would never. Mikasa!"
Mikasa turned around and saw what caused Armin's reaction. Wall Titan of Wall Maria was also walking out towards Eren's Titan.
"Seeing it happen is so much scarier than I thought." Petra said with wide eyes.
"A part of me is glad I don't have to deal with this." Ymir mumbled.
Sasha glanced at Connie, worried that something might happen to him. He was a bit pale in the face.
"I just hope no one in the other Districts gets hurt." Historia said worried.
"All the walls are falling, even Wall Maria! But he doesn't need that many Titans to attack Marley. This is complete overkill! Just the wall around Shiganshina It would be more than enough. He has no reason to give up the walls completely. Not if the plan is just to knock out the global alliance in Marley. So why do this? What could he be...?" Armin said, in shock.
Suddenly, both Mikasa and Armin got transferred to the Paths. "HEAR ME, SUBJECTS OF YMIR," Eren said with power in his voice through the Coordinates.
"Woah!"
"What's going on, now?!" Historia said in astonishment.
"He's addressing the subjects of Ymir..." Erwin stated.
Mikasa and Armin went back to Shiganshina. They both gasped, as Mikasa put her hands close to the side of her head. "I heard Eren's voice!" Mikasa said.
They went back to the Paths again and gasped. "MY NAME IS EREN YEAGER."
Jean was on his knees with a surprised expression.
"I AM USING THE FOUNDING TITAN'S POWER TO ADDRESS ALL SUBJECTS OF YMIR."
"All of them?!"
"Ehm... What's with those, you know, who are on the toilet at this moment? Are they going to sit with the toilet there, or are they sitting in midair?"
Ymir shot Connie a disgusted look. "Why do you even want to know that?"
"I'm just curious. Who knows what the others are doing at that exact moment."
"I'd rather not think about that." Levi told him.
Connie held his head with a horrified expression.
"I'VE UNDONE THE HARDENING OF PARADISE ISLAND'S WALLS."
Reiner was looking ahead with a terrified expression.
"AND THE TITAN'S BURIED WITHIN HAVE BEGUN THEIR MARCH."
Gabi was on her knees, looking up at the Coordinates with wide eyes. Pieck was looking up at the Coordinates with wide eyes.
"MY GOAL IS TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE OF PARADISE ISLAND-THE PLACE I WAS BORN AND RAISED."
Falco laid unconscious on the ground. Keith, Yeagerists and other peoples of Paradis Island were together at one place. All Eldians around the world were looking at the Coordinates with wide eyes.
"Falco is normal again." Armin said relieved.
"Good." Sasha said with a smile.
Eren was glad that he was ok, he felt guilty about what he had done to him and to his home. But he knew that he didn't have any other choice.
"HOWEVER, THE WORLD WANTS TO EXTERMINATE MY PEOPLE – NOT JUST ON THIS ISLAND."
Eldians outside the Walls were staring ahead with wide eyes. Mr. Leonhart was on his knees, horrified.
"THEY WILL NOT STOP UNTIL EVERY LAST SUBJECT OF YMIR IS DEAD."
Floch was on his knees while he was bleeding from his head.
"I REFUSE TO LET THEM."
Historia was sitting on a chair, looking up at the Coordinates with a serious expression.
Ymir's eyes widened and turned to look at Historia. "You didn't look surprised at all. So you knew what he was about to do."
Historia blanched. "But why didn't I try to stop him...?" She looked at Eren, who didn't look at her. She frowned, she didn't like it how it was between them now. But after what he did... or what he will do...
"Great, now we have more secrets kept from each other." Levi grumbled.
"I won't be doing that this time, I promise." Historia promised, her face was serious.
The top of the Coordinate was shown. "THE WALL TITANS SHALL TRAMPLE ALL SURFACE OF LAND OUTSIDE THIS ISLAND." Eren said as his devilish and furious face, with glowing green eyes was shown on the screen, "UNTIL ALL LIVES EXISTING THERE... HAVE BEEN EXTERMINATED FROM THIS WORLD."
"What the hell?" Maria turned to Future-Eren, who refused to look at her. "How is that saving my mother, and how in any means are those good intentions?" She looked at Candy in disbelief, who didn't look at her. She sighed. "I guess I have to wait and see, don't I?"
"Damn, you look scary here." Connie mumbled.
"Like a devil." Eren said, he frowned slightly.
Erwin narrowed his eyes at the sentence. 'Indeed.'
"I'm scared, what's going to happen next." Sasha said nervously.
