Chapter 329: Crushing! Eren Disassembled by Annie!
[Ren: Annie's power is also called the Power of the Titans in this world.]
[Aqua: Titans? But she didn't get big.]
[Ren: Annie's Power of the Titans has been optimized by me; it is a more perfect version.]
[Rory Takakura: From her appearance, Annie looks much better than those other Titans.]
[Kiana: Especially that big bone monster.]
[Ren: Actually, without her angelic body, Annie's power isn't too different from that bone giant. They both possess the power of the Founding Titan.]
[Tokisaki Kurumi: Oh? You mean her power is a concentrated version of the power from that huge body?]
[Ren: You could say that.]
[Ch'en: This… the power of such a large body concentrated into a normal-sized person… that's too terrifying!]
Ch'en could already imagine the scene of a single punch collapsing a mobile city plate. It sent shivers down her spine and brought her elevated mentality back down to earth.
Annie transformed into the Founding Titan. Compared to Eren, her size was extremely small.
The moment she transformed, as if by some summons, the Pure Titans felt the command of another Founder. Under two conflicting commands, they engaged in a mental battle. A portion of the Titans defected and began attacking the others.
Annie, flying unimpeded, arrived before Eren's massive body.
Immediately, Eren's enormous skeletal frame rotated his eyeballs to stare directly at her. He didn't understand why he felt the power of the Coordinate from within her, but he was clear that she was stopping him from initiating the Rumbling.
"Roar!!!"
Eren roared, his gigantic skeletal body rising as sharp, large bone spikes pierced towards Annie.
But her refined and condensed body, coupled with the power of a Sin Apostle, was not just for show. With just one punch, gusts of wind surged.
Boom!
The moment her fist touched the bones, they shattered completely. His massive body was repeatedly pushed back. Even though it was a skeleton, the Titan Eren could still feel pain.
"Roar, roar, roar!!!"
He howled, not understanding why his body was so fragile when he was also a Founding Titan.
Annie looked at her fist, then turned and glanced up at Ren. Her gaze was sharp when she looked back at Eren. "Next, I will win victory for my master!"
A scene that shocked humanity unfolded.
A human-sized angel frantically dismantled the Founding Titan's bones. Eren had no power to resist, only letting out roars of grief and fury.
It wasn't just Annie. Tsunade and Saeko's display of divine power, slaughtering Titans, made many humans believe in the existence of angels. Whether they were from heaven or fallen, in their eyes, they were sent by God to save the world.
So, some people began to pray sincerely.
"Oh God! Thank you for saving our humble selves!"
"Oh God! Please make all the Titans disappear!"
Then, as the news spread, more and more people began to pray.
"Oh?" Ren was surprised. He felt the power of faith from this world gathering towards him.
"Mr. Ren, what's wrong?" Krista blinked her curious eyes, gazing at his back. Golden wings were faintly visible.
"Nothing," Ren replied, then gazed at Krista's face again. He pondered the question of the Redemption Wings.
I did nothing, yet I gained faith. So the problem lies with Tsunade and Saeko. They were his Redemption Angels. What they did was seen, and out of worship and gratitude, he gained faith.
Although he himself didn't like proselytizing, for the balance between the Redemption Wings and the Wings of Sin, he might have to consider letting his angels appear more often. The faith he gained was a pure energy, not bound by doctrines like Aqua's.
And the best choice in this world was undoubtedly Krista. Her original name was Historia. She had the qualifications to become the Queen of Eldia, and also the qualifications to become the Queen of the world.
An Angel Queen belonging to him would surely draw the world's attention and continuously gather more power of faith.
Hmm. Whether based on a scumbag's love for beauty or for the power of faith, I have to win over Krista.
Rumble! "Roar!!!"
With a loud bang and a mournful roar, the battlefield changed. Most of the Pure Titans had already been slaughtered by Tsunade and Saeko. The mournful sound was coming from Eren's mouth.
His current state was extremely miserable. Bone after bone was crushed, and he wasn't even given a chance to regenerate. Annie had dismantled him until only a single spine remained.
He hit the ground, with nothing left to support his body.
Annie landed in front of him, looking down indifferently.
"Roar!" Eren let out his final wail.
Pfft! A kick landed. The earth trembled.
Eren's head was brutally crushed by Annie. From his head, his body and the gigantic spine also began to crumble, until they turned into dust.
The Titans commanded by Eren stopped moving instantly.
Ren released Ymir's hand. The moment he let go, she felt a trace of reluctance.
He gently raised his hand and, with a light grasp, a blue, wriggling, tentacled insect appeared in it.
"What is this thing?" All three girls asked with surprise.
"A Parasitic Titan. The origin of the Power of the Titans."
The moment Annie killed Eren, he had taken it. After a careful sensing, he found it was useless, so he directly devoured it with Gluttony.
"The show's been watched long enough. Let's end this meaningless battle." Ren released the two girls; Ymir and Krista had long adapted to being high in the air.
Mikasa only felt a deeper poke behind her, a hint of numbness spreading through her body, and then she was propped up by Ren and stood upright.
