Chapter 225: The Omniscient and Omnipotent Deity! The Female Titan, Annie!

Now they only had two paths to choose from.

The first was to refuse Li An and choose to fight him.

The result would surely be their defeat, Annie captured by the other side, and the two of them cut down by Li An.

The second was to agree to Li An, give up Annie, and the two of them leave.

That way, as long as they were still alive, there would be hope of completing Ma Lai's mission.

If all three of them were gone, then Ma Lai's mission would also have failed.

The moment they thought of how Ma Lai's people had placed such high hopes on them, they knew what choice to make.

Reiner and Bertholdt nodded, then said in unison: "We'll leave right now!"

"A wise choice!" Li An said with a satisfied smile.

Once he finished speaking, he snapped his fingers, causing the barrier to open a gateway.

Annie's eyes went wide, her face full of disbelief as she stared at them.

She never expected to be sold out just like that!

"You two bastards!" Annie roared furiously, immediately transforming into the Female Titan, then launching an attack against Reiner and Bertholdt.

Seeing this, Reiner and Bertholdt were so scared that they immediately fled through the gateway Li An had opened in the barrier.

Annie wanted to charge out, but Li An said: "I never gave you permission to leave!"

The moment his words fell, several golden spatial ripples appeared in the void, and from those golden ripples shot out chains one after another, binding the Female-Titan-transformed Annie.

Though the Chains of Heaven was a Noble Phantasm meant for gods, it was still effective against other living beings—it simply lacked a restraining effect.

When Enkidu wields the Chains of Heaven, they can bind anyone!

What's more, after Li An obtained the Gate of Babylon, he had integrated it with the Genshin Vault, the Honkai Vault, the Star Rail Vault, along with numerous Divine Artifacts, Imperial Arms, and technological weapons into a single skill.

This also caused all the Noble Phantasms within the Gate of Babylon to undergo evolution.

Noble Phantasms at the level of the Chains of Heaven had long since evolved into top-tier Divine Artifacts.

Using such a top-tier Divine Artifact to bind a mere Titan was like nuking a mosquito.

After being bound by Li An, Annie let out a furious roar.

Her eyes glared viciously at Li An.

Li An paid her no heed, and instead turned his head to look at the Pure Titan girl who had earlier swallowed Ma Sai.

By now she had already awakened, staring blankly at her surroundings.

However, when she saw the Female Titan Annie had transformed into, a look of terror appeared on her face.

"You're awake, Ymir!" Li An said, looking at the girl.

That's right—she was Ymir!

Ymir warily looked at Li An and asked: "Who are you? Was that Female Titan trapped by you?"

Li An gave a brief self-introduction: "My name is Li An, and yes, that Female Titan behind me was indeed trapped by me."

"Then why am I here?" Ymir clutched her head, momentarily unable to recall her past memories.

After all, she had been a Pure Titan for a very long time—her brain had definitely gone blank.

Recovering her former memories would certainly take time.

Li An couldn't be bothered to explain verbally—it was too troublesome.

So he tapped a finger toward Ymir's head.

Then everything—the ancestors of Eldia, the feuds between Eldia and Ma Lai, how the Titans came into being, how Eldians inherited the power of the Nine Titans, and so on—was all poured directly into Ymir's brain.

Ymir's eyes went wide as she slowly digested the information in her mind.

A quarter-hour later, she finally let out a bitter smile.

So it turned out her luck was this good—despite being just a Pure Titan, she had unexpectedly devoured Ma Sai, who possessed the Jaw Titan, and successfully inherited the Jaw Titan's power, thereby regaining human form!

Ymir stood up, took the blanket Li An had draped over her and used it as a towel, wrapped herself up, then asked once more: "Why won't you kill me?"

"Because I've taken a liking to you. How about following me?" Li An asked very directly.

Ymir froze for a moment, and looking at Li An's handsome face, her cheeks couldn't help but flush slightly.

After pondering for a while, she finally nodded and said: "Mm, I'm willing!"

Li An revealed a satisfied smile.

Then, based on Ymir's body proportions, he created a set of clothes and tossed them to her, saying: "Put some clothes on."

Seeing this, Ymir was utterly astonished.

Creating something out of thin air—could he be a deity?

Li An paid no mind to Ymir's wild thoughts, and turned to look at Annie.

"How long are you going to keep the Titan form?" Li An said, looking at the big fellow before him.

But Annie ignored him, still maintaining her Titan form.

At this moment, only by keeping the Titan form could she feel even the slightest sense of security.

Seeing this, Li An frowned slightly.

He snapped his fingers, and Annie's Titan form was forcibly dispelled.

Annie's eyes went wide, somewhat in disbelief.

Li An retracted the Chains of Heaven, and asked just as directly: "Are you willing to follow me?"

Annie was slightly stunned, her expression a bit dazed.

This guy had captured her just to make her follow him?

"Right now there are only two paths before you—the first is to follow me, the second is to be killed by me!" Li An said again.

After all, Annie was still just a little girl who had just turned 11—her temperament wasn't mature enough.

As for death, she was still very much afraid of it.

Faced with the two choices Li An had given, she almost instinctively, without any hesitation, chose the first one — to follow Li An!

"I choose to follow you!" Ani immediately said.
