Hoo～ slowly exhaling the last puff of smoke, Bill closed his eyes with an expression of pure enjoyment.
"It really feels amazing!" After saying this with a smile, Bill directly pressed the cigarette butt hard into his own palm.
A faint, pungent burnt smell immediately entered Bill's nose, but he didn't care. Surging golden arcs of electricity suddenly erupted from his body, enveloping him entirely.
Ebson took a slight step back, the lenses of his glasses reflecting the dazzling golden arcs.
"How exciting. However, aren't the friends on the island planning to make a move yet? What a pity—I was hoping to meet that child sooner. Well then, let Bill's Silver-Split Titan properly entertain you."
Ebson gave a sinister smile. Using the commotion of Bill's transformation as cover, he turned and quietly left, his figure disappearing into the ruins.
All the other Titan warriors in the venue were drawn to Bill. Amid the raging arcs of electricity, bones rose from the ground one after another, flesh rapidly covering them. Beneath the surging steam, a brand-new Titan body gradually took shape, accompanied by the crackling sound of glass grinding.
"ROAR!!" The Crimson Flame Titan could no longer hold back. Filled with raging fury, Newt charged directly toward the spot behind Bill where Ebson had been.
The Armored Titan hesitated for a moment, but still raised the twin shields in his hands and followed behind the Crimson Flame Titan, charging forward together.
The distance of several hundred meters was crossed in the blink of an eye. The Crimson Flame Titan opened its grotesque jaws, the organs on both sides of its mouth primed. Thick gas gathered—Newt intended to turn Ebson into charred ash within the flames.
Puchi!!
A slender silver arm pierced straight through the Crimson Flame Titan's mouth as if it were tofu, driving upward and instantly blasting apart half of its head.
"What is this!?" Reiner, inside the nape of the Armored Titan, stared in shock at the never-before-seen Titan before him.
Standing in the open was a silver Titan only fourteen meters tall. Its entire body was flawless, like it had been forged from pure silver, its surface so smooth it reflected light.
The silver Titan's build was not robust—compared to other Titans, it could even be described as slender. Its face lacked any extra features, possessing only a pair of crimson eyes and an extremely thin slit-like mouth.
"A brand-new Titan!?" Magath's expression grew heavy. As expected, Ebson had secretly created new Titan warriors. This made Ebson even more dangerous—he had to be controlled or eliminated at all costs.
At this moment, a somewhat dazed Willy was escorted by several Marleyan soldiers to the command post where Magath was. Seeing Magath, then looking at the War Hammer Titan still attacking the Airwing Titan, Willy said bitterly,
"Everything's in chaos. We've already fallen completely into a passive position. The forces of Paradis Island haven't even appeared yet, and we've already exposed all our strength."
Magath sighed inwardly and comforted him,
"Willy, it's not over yet. We haven't lost. We still have two elite divisions within the capital—we may not necessarily lose."
Willy sighed. "Let's hope so."
The Titan Ebson called the Silver-Split Titan swung its arm, tossing aside the limp body of the Crimson Flame Titan. Then its crimson eyes locked onto the charging Armored Titan.
Reiner, inside the nape, felt his hair stand on end—but then he thought, how could he be intimidated by such a small Titan? He was the Armored Titan—the shield of Marley!
With that thought, the armored mask covering the Armored Titan's face opened slightly, releasing a low growl and steam. Raising the massive shields on both arms, it charged straight at the Silver-Split Titan.
Standing atop a residential building, the night wind on the rooftop stirred Yago's coat. With his hands in his pockets, Yago watched the chaotic Titan battle below. The appearance of the new Silver-Split Titan made him frown slightly—just how many Titan warriors could that guy Ebson create?
"Boss…" A weak voice came from behind. Airi, wrapped in numerous bandages, faint steam rising from her body, was supported by Zofia as she walked toward Yago.
"You've worked hard, Airi. You did well. Leave the rest to us." Yago praised.
Airi nodded, but her gaze toward the battlefield remained complicated. Finally, she said softly,
"Boss, if possible, I hope everyone can capture Ivanor alive… she… she's just a bit simple-minded, but she's not a bad person at heart."
Yago paused for a moment, then nodded. Lowering his head, he glanced at the pocket watch he had taken from Russell Manor. Judging by the time, it should be almost time for Serena and Hange to act.
The Armored Titan raised its shield high and slammed it down violently, but the Silver-Split Titan was incredibly agile, easily dodging the blow and instantly shifting to the Armored Titan's side.
Crack! Crack! The Silver-Split Titan's hands suddenly twisted and transformed, forming two slender spikes.
Puchi!! The spikes pierced through the Armored Titan's hardened armor and stabbed into its body. However, as a Titan renowned for defense, the Armored Titan was not immediately threatened.
But the Silver-Split Titan was far too agile. The Armored Titan, holding its twin shields, couldn't even touch it and could only endure the continuous stabs.
Grinding his teeth, Reiner tried to control the Armored Titan to grab the Silver-Split Titan, but it was futile.
Seeing himself being passively stabbed, Reiner's expression turned ruthless. The Armored Titan suddenly let out a low roar, and the hardened armor on its body loosened, its cracks widening.
The Silver-Split Titan stabbed again—but unexpectedly, this time Reiner deliberately abandoned defense, allowing the Silver-Split Titan to pierce straight through the Armored Titan.
This caused the Silver-Split Titan to pause for a moment—but immediately afterward, the Armored Titan's armor plates tightened abruptly, clamping down on the Silver-Split Titan's arm.
"Got you!!" Before the Silver-Split Titan could pull its arm free, it was seized.
Raising its massive shield high, the Armored Titan slammed it down without hesitation. Reiner had originally thought the Silver-Split Titan's metallic skin might be like the War Hammer Titan's hardened skin—difficult to break—but to his surprise, the Armored Titan smashed through the Silver-Split Titan's head with ease.
Even the Silver-Split Titan's arm snapped off, its body staggering backward.
However, unlike other Titans, its flesh did not emit steam to regenerate. Instead, the shattered flesh began writhing continuously.
"What the hell is this??"
The Silver-Split Titan's flesh writhed, then suddenly split itself in two (horizontally, not left and right). Then, under Reiner's shocked gaze, the two halves each began writhing again—the rear half grew a pair of crimson eyes, while the front half regenerated the missing rear portion of its body.
In the blink of an eye, two identical Silver-Split Titans stood where one had been.
