"The strongest?"
Eren looked at Jiraiya, a fleeting, dazed aura emanating from the elder from another world he had briefly encountered.
Even with his power sealed, Jiraiya remained a battle-hardened warrior.
As for Eren,
Though favored by fate, he, like most commoners and the Military Police Brigade, was protected by thick, high walls, like livestock kept in a pen.
Eren's pupils trembled, a feeling akin to… no, far surpassing what the ordinary Survey Corps gave him.
"Eren, wanting to save the world, wanting to change fate, it's both difficult and easy!"
As dusk approached,
Warm, soft sunlight spilled over the city walls and the vast residential Shiganshina District within.
A dark shadow appeared on the city wall, blocking the sun and casting a large shadow.
Jiraiya looked up,
Staring at the colossal head that suddenly appeared out of thin air, emerging over the city wall.
It had no skin, with grotesque crimson muscle fibers exposed, and high-temperature white steam spewed onto the city wall, covering a large section of the walkway.
Garrison Regiment soldiers, who had no time to react, were instantly scalded to death by the white steam.
This scene,
All the commoners in Shiganshina District could see it.
Terror, fear, frantic escape, shrill screams, struggling, crowded streets…
It was like some forgotten dread.
"Colossal Titan!"
Eren swallowed, standing rigidly in place; even though he was prepared, seeing the special Titan that destroyed the city wall again, fear quickly consumed his heart.
Suddenly, Jiraiya's heroic and soaring voice rang in his ears.
"That is will!"
"The will to face fear, to see fear, to fight fear, and finally to overcome fear!"
Jiraiya could see the same unyielding spirit in Eren that he had possessed in his youth.
To be chosen by the Reincarnation Game as a player, the other party must also be a life with tenacious will, merely temporarily obscured.
The Colossal Titan tilted its head in confusion,
Looking at Jiraiya, who hadn't been killed by the white steam, seemingly puzzled that an ant-like human hadn't taken the opportunity to flee.
Whoosh.
Jiraiya flicked his fingers, and a steel grappling hook shot out, firmly embedding itself in the city wall, then the rope tightened.
Using the pull, he rushed towards the Colossal Titan at an extremely high speed.
After exchanging for Three-Dimensional Maneuver Gear operation skills, a memory as if tempered by a thousand trials appeared in his mind, and even his body could perfectly adapt.
Just as he had said,
Now, he was the strongest warrior of the three military corps.
"Roar!"
The Colossal Titan let out a low growl; though massive in size, it was not as cumbersome as imagined, its arms moving flexibly, attempting to catch Jiraiya, who was moving in the air.
However, it underestimated Jiraiya's agility; he dodged the swinging crimson arms with a few quick movements and landed on the Colossal Titan's shoulder.
"Who is that?"
"Three-Dimensional Maneuver Gear… Is that a soldier from the Military Police Brigade?"
The commoners, frantically fleeing but blocked by the moat, forced to wait for the ferry to enter the city, turned their heads and saw the tiny figure standing on the Colossal Titan's shoulder.
Inside the outpost, Survey Corps soldiers who had just returned to the city also saw Jiraiya flying through the air, their gazes blank.
"I've never seen him before, he's not from the Survey Corps, could he be from the Military Police Brigade or the Garrison Regiment? How is that possible!"
"Even if it's Captain Levi… No, Captain Levi is the strongest!"
As soldiers who frequently ventured outside the city walls for investigations, they were the corps most frequently in contact with Titans.
They retained a remnant of untamed wildness, not having been domesticated.
The Three-Dimensional Maneuver Gear was like an extension of their limbs; those unskilled in its operation had long become Titan fodder.
Yet, seeing Jiraiya's control over the Three-Dimensional Maneuver Gear, they still felt a shock.
It was like the difference between a pig butcher and a peerless sword master.
They had only witnessed such terrifying strength in Levi, the so-called strongest captain, so they absolutely refused to believe that such a fierce warrior could exist within the Military Police Brigade and Garrison Regiment, who were like useless gluttons.
"Heh…"
The Colossal Titan's mouth split open, as if smiling, unlike the wandering mindless Titans.
Just as Jiraiya landed on its shoulder,
Pffft.
A large amount of high-temperature white steam suddenly burst from the muscle crevices, like a thick fog, enveloping its entire body.
The hurricane-like impact and the immediately following high-temperature steam directly blew away Jiraiya, who hadn't yet stabilized, causing the surface of his skin to ulcerate, corroded by the high temperature.
"Excellent!"
Jiraiya ignored the pain of corrosion, pulling on the grappling hook embedded in the Colossal Titan's shoulder, his body tracing a circle in the air.
Crack…
The high-temperature steam caused the Three-Dimensional Maneuver Gear to jam, making it unusable.
Jiraiya, nearing the Colossal Titan's nape, fell like a kite with a broken string.
[Exchange [Three-Dimensional Maneuver Gear]!]
As he fell, Jiraiya communicated with the Store, and in the next second, he discarded the damaged Three-Dimensional Maneuver Gear and equipped the latest version exchanged from the Store.
"Titan, how many more times can it emit steam?"
Jiraiya, with his keen observation skills, noticed that as the steam erupted, the Colossal Titan's muscles shriveled like water.
It was probably a very costly technique.
At this moment, Jiraiya's skin was completely ulcerated, his face, like the Colossal Titan's, was left with only crimson muscle, making him look like a vengeful spirit.
The grappling hook shot out,
The rope tightened around Jiraiya's body, and he landed again on the Colossal Titan's nape.
Bertholdt Hoover, the warrior from the Marley Empire who had transformed into the Colossal Titan, sensed the threat of death at this moment.
Even with professional training, he had never encountered a human as insane as Jiraiya, who didn't even care about his life.
"Die!"
Jiraiya swung his blade, about to cut open the Colossal Titan's nape.
Suddenly, a Titan covered in armor crashed over like a cannonball, knocking Jiraiya away and saving the Colossal Titan.
"Two special Titans… They seem to possess intelligence, unlike those wandering mindless Titans."
Jiraiya landed on the city wall's walkway, a serious expression on his face, and said, "Eren, the Titans outside the city wall very likely possess intelligence. This isn't an accident, but a planned and organized destructive scheme."
The performance of the two Titans just now,
Was completely unlike the brainless majority of the Pure Titans; they helped each other and displayed clear emotions during combat.
However, Jiraiya had no interest in digging deeper for information; his goal was to resist the Titan attack and protect Wall Maria.
In other words,
He wouldn't let this city wall fall; if it fell, he would kill all the Titans that invaded the city wall.
The Garrison Regiment soldiers stared dumbfounded at Jiraiya, who had landed on the city wall,
During the battle with the Colossal Titan, the perfect camouflage of his uniform had already failed, and the Garrison Regiment realized they had never seen this officer before.
Rumble.
The rescued Colossal Titan adopted a kicking stance, its massive, skinless torso impacting the city wall.
The city wall was breached, and the surging dust waves and rain of debris smashed countless civilian homes in Shiganshina District.
The strong wind blew away the Garrison Regiment soldiers at the edge of the city wall.
A huge breach appeared in the city wall, and even the sunlight shining through it felt a chilling, eerie coldness.
Through the breach in the city wall,
One could see countless Titans continuously moving into the city, impossible to count.
With grotesque smiles on their faces, their running posture deformed, yet possessing human-like appearances, this uncanny atmosphere maximized the uncanny valley effect.
Countless commoners trembled, gathered by the moat,
Originally, they had been eagerly watching the wealthy board the boats, but now a riot directly broke out.
"Get out of the way, let us board!"
"If you don't let me into the city, then we'll all die together!"
Even with Military Police Brigade soldiers maintaining order, riots still occurred at several city gates.
The result was that the boats were sunk, and everyone was unable to escape.
