"Aaaaaaah!!!"
The Titan that Eren had transformed into let out a roar. The green light shining in his eyes signified that his consciousness had returned.
The scene shifted to other battlefields, where a fight was being waged to protect Eren.
At this moment, many sacrifices appeared.
Despair, helplessness, and not a single shred of hope could be seen.
Even if they worked together to kill one Titan, it was completely useless, because more Titans continued to pour in from outside the wall.
"Squad Leader! This is it! Only a few of us are left!"
A young girl shouted in despair; she was about to break under the pressure of this hopeless battle.
"Retreat to the boulder." The white-haired girl who had fired the red flare at the beginning spoke.
Similar orders were issued on several other battlefields. They couldn't go on like this; it was undoubtedly a suicide mission.
Boom—!!
At that moment, heavy footsteps rang out. Everyone heard them and instinctively turned their gaze toward the source of the sound.
Boom!!!
A massive humanoid figure, covered in white steam, was carrying a giant boulder, walking resolutely and purposefully toward the city gate.
These heavy footsteps, combined with the passionate BGM, made the people watching the video feel as if they were seeing 'hope'!
Yes! Hope!
In the previous scenes, humanity was undoubtedly at an absolute disadvantage; they saw no hope, and even their desperate fighting couldn't evoke a spark of passion.
It wasn't a counterattack at all, but simple suicide, and a death that lacked any meaning.
It was different now!
Eren had awakened, and he was coming with the boulder on his shoulders.
Inside the video.
Looking at that figure shrouded in white steam and carrying the boulder, hope ignited in the eyes of all the humans currently fighting.
They could win! They could win!! They could take back the city! And then hunt every last Titan to extinction!
"Mikasa!!!" At that moment, Armin flew over.
"Armin." Mikasa was also very happy to see Armin return.
Armin was also very emotional as he said, "Eren has overcome himself; now he's trying to fulfill his responsibility."
"Next, as long as we successfully cover Eren until he reaches the gate, we'll be victorious!"
Standing next to Mikasa, the elite squad leader in charge of this operation felt his pupils tremble slightly upon hearing the word 'victory.'
Then, gritting his teeth, he looked at the 'soldiers' beside him and shouted, "Hold the line!"
Hearing these words, everyone's body jolted.
"Even if we have to trade our own lives, we must protect Eren until he reaches the gate!! We absolutely cannot let the Titans get close!!"
The squad leader shouted loudly.
Meanwhile, on the other side, even the soldiers who hadn't received orders spoke up.
Seeing this scene, they immediately said, "Quick, let's go cover Eren!"
"You two, get to Eren's side." The squad leader looked at Mikasa and Armin and said, "That's an order! Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Mikasa and Armin said in unison.
Just as the squad leader was about to go lure the Titans, he suddenly stopped because he saw three people on the ground in the distance, running toward the Titans.
"Mitabi Squad?! What are you doing?!" The squad leader was shocked.
In the distance, the leader of the Mitabi Squad shouted to his teammates, "Those Titans won't come to eat us! We have to get close enough to bait them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, they were already very close to the Titans approaching Eren.
"Look over here! You bastards!"
"If you don't look here, I'll shove my blade up your stinking ass and kill you!"
Perhaps their words successfully caught the Titans' attention, as two Titans turned around and looked at them.
Terrified expressions appeared on the screen, letting everyone see clearly that they were actually very, very afraid; however, to make the plan succeed, they were ultimately willing to risk their lives.
"They're coming!!"
"Two of them took the bait!"
"Run!! Run to the buildings!!"
The two Titans approached the three of them, gradually moving away from Eren.
"How can they be so reckless? Being on the ground is pure suicide." Armin was shocked seeing this, and he continued, "Without horses or buildings, it's impossible to fight."
"No, this is the only move we have left."
The squad leader, watching the Mitabi Squad's actions, immediately realized this was their last resort.
Near the city gate, there was simply no place for them to maneuver or fight the Titans.
"Quick, follow the Mitabi Squad's lead!!" the squad leader said, then jumped down from the eaves and charged toward the Titans.
Mikasa looked at Armin and said, "Armin, we should also..."
There was no need for more words; they were going to protect Eren.
The heavy footsteps continued. Not only was Eren moving, but the other humans responsible for covering him were also luring away the Titans approaching him.
Eren, carrying the boulder, his eyes flashing with green light, continued to walk.
Many soldiers around him, in order to lure the Titans away, ended up as Titan fodder or were slapped to death.
At this moment, Eren thought of Armin's words.
'Eren, why do you want to go to the outside world?'
Eren responded now. While carrying the boulder and walking toward the gate, he answered, "Because every one of us, from the moment we are born, is free."
"No matter how powerful those who hinder us are, it doesn't matter."
"Whether it's the water of fire or the lands of ice, whatever it is, those who can see those things with their own eyes are the freest people in this world."
Boom!
Along with the heavy footsteps.
The scene shifted elsewhere, showing a soldier being grabbed by a Titan and about to be eaten.
"Fight!"
"For this, even if I have to sacrifice my life, I won't hesitate!"
"No matter how terrifying the world is! It doesn't matter!"
"No matter how cruel the world is! It doesn't matter!"
The scene showed the previous squad leader saving someone from a Titan's mouth, only to be grabbed himself and turned into Titan fodder.
"Fight! Fight!! Fight!!! Fight!!!!"
Eren screamed inwardly. He did not let those sacrificed soldiers down, as he moved unwaveringly toward the city gate.
The people watching the video were silent now; they knew this wasn't something Eren could achieve alone.
He relied on his companions to get here, which was different from the previous three who subverted the entire battlefield by their own strength.
He relied on his companions, and his companions relied on his power.
This was the most moving scene: both sides supporting each other, successfully reaching this step and seeing hope.
"There's another Titan!" Armin's voice rang out.
"Leave this to me!" Without a second thought, Mikasa charged forward. For Eren, she would be omnipotent!
But at this moment, the white-haired girl who had wanted to abandon Eren earlier rushed down, shouting, "Get out of the way!!!"
Her attack precisely destroyed the Titan's eyes, and just as the Titan's strike was about to land on her, she used her Omni-Directional Mobility gear to escape.
Mikasa knew this was a great opportunity and rushed up without hesitation, using her blades to slice through the Titan's nape.
As the Titan fell, Eren's figure carrying the boulder appeared.
The sun was about to set, and its light passed through the gate, falling onto Eren as he carried the boulder. At this moment, he looked like a Deliverer.
"Go!! Eren!!!"
"Aaaaaah!!! (Fight!)"
Accompanied by Armin and Eren's roars and the swelling BGM, Eren slammed the rock into the city gate.
He successfully blocked the gate, preventing the Titans outside from entering the city.
Witnessing all this, the white-haired girl couldn't help but shed tears. "Everyone's deaths... finally had value."
She pulled out a flare gun and fired a green signal, her voice trembling. "Today, for the first time, humanity has finally! Defeated the Titans!"
After the girl finished speaking, the screen went black, signifying the end of this projection.
