Chapter 162: A Cruel World

Eren succeeded in turning into a Titan, but the roar he let out indicated that Eren had not regained his sanity.

"What is this bastard doing?"

Mikasa pressed a hand to her chest and stood up with difficulty; she felt like half her body was slightly swollen.

"No, I don't know."

Armin's body was shaking; he had just brushed shoulders with death.

"Are all the Survey Corps such lunatics? He really intended to kill us just now. We must report this to the military tribunal after the battle."

Mikasa glared at Su Xiao with hatred, but now was not the time to dwell on these things; anyone could see that Eren hadn't regained his sanity.

The hook of the 'Vertical Maneuvering Equipment' shot out. Su Xiao fixed the hook to the nape of Eren's neck, and the gas jet at his lower back allowed him to reach Eren's nape quickly.

Perhaps feeling something on his nape, Eren's giant hand slapped toward his nape without hesitation.

Slap!

A blast of air spread to the surroundings, and Eren stumbled forward a few steps from his own slap.

Su Xiao stood on Eren's shoulder; if he had been hit by that palm, he would definitely have turned into a pile of meat paste.

The Titan's speed and defense were not too high, but its strength was strong to a perverted degree.

A sophisticated metal eyeball appeared in Su Xiao's hand, floating beside him; this was reconnaissance equipment he had bought for 5000 Paradise Coins.

Introduction: As long as it is a carbon-based organism, it cannot escape the tracking of the Eye of Havana.

Price: 2300 Paradise Coins

The Eye of Havana floated in mid-air, red light gushing from it to envelop Eren, scanning him.

【Comparing the intelligence attributes of both parties..., comparison complete. Our intelligence is 2.125 times that of the enemy, and we will obtain 100% of the enemy's data.】

Data is as follows:

Skill 3: Child of Destiny (Indestructible state): If Eren Yeager unfortunately dies, the dual Titan powers within his body will be randomly transferred to another 'Eldian', and the transferred person will become the next Child of Destiny.

Skill 4: Firm Will (Passive): Immune to all mental control, such as hypnosis, mental induction, etc.

Skill 5: Titan's Curse (Passive): After inheriting Titan power, lifespan will drop significantly. Current remaining lifespan: 7 years and 9 months.

After viewing Eren's data, Su Xiao's eyelids twitched. Not to mention that shocking 40-point strength attribute, Eren's 'Child of Destiny' status was truly too ruthless.

Although Eren was the protagonist of the plot now, a next-generation protagonist would appear immediately after Eren died. The destiny of this world did not lie in Eren, but in the two types of Titan power within his body.

Perhaps this is what is meant by "Heaven is not benevolent, treating all things as straw dogs." Eren was currently that straw dog. A dead protagonist had no value; the Titan world would immediately generate the next protagonist, and there would be no such thing as avenging Eren.

Dead means a loser, with no value whatsoever.

At this moment, Su Xiao recalled the actions of Blood Rose and Chen. They seemed to have no intention of killing Eren, but instead wanted to communicate with him.

This was a very abnormal situation. Killing the protagonist in a derived world could yield huge benefits, and Eren should be an exception among them.

Jin Muyan from the previous world was already bizarre enough, and now came an even more bizarre one—an 'un-killable' protagonist.

Or rather, Eren was not the protagonist at all; the protagonist was the two types of Titan power within Eren, or rather, the Founding Titan power.

Thinking of this situation, Su Xiao raised an eyebrow. He was hesitating whether to kill Eren later to see what changes would occur.

But Eren couldn't die yet; he hadn't lifted that giant rock.

After Su Xiao dodged Eren's attacks several times, Eren's attack frequency dropped significantly.

Su Xiao had been leaping around Eren's head. In less than a minute, Eren had punched himself repeatedly, blinding one of his own eyes.

The Titan Eren had transformed into began to stumble. Su Xiao took the opportunity to jump to the nape of Eren's neck.

In the original work, it was Armin who woke Eren up, saying a lot of moving nonsense on Eren's nape. Su Xiao didn't have that eloquence, nor did he have that leisure.

He gripped Checking Zhan Long Shan with one hand, and a blue halo flashed across the blade—this was the unique glow of a blue-quality weapon.

The long blade sliced through flesh, and a large piece of Eren's nape meat was shaved off.

Su Xiao checked the depth; there was still some distance to Eren's main body, so he struck again.

Pfft.

A thick piece of meat fell to the ground and quickly turned into steam. Su Xiao had sliced off one-third of the muscle on Eren's nape.

At this point, Su Xiao could already see the back of Eren's main body. He fixed the hook of the 'Vertical Maneuvering Equipment' next to Eren's main body, and his body was dragged over by the reaction force.

At this moment, Eren's eyes were lifeless, and most of his body was wrapped in muscle.

Su Xiao grabbed Eren's head and tore off the muscle on Eren's head.

"Hey, wake up."

Su Xiao patted Eren's cheek. At this moment, the Titan Eren had transformed into remained motionless.

Mikasa and Armin on the distant roof were both stunned; Eren's main body was pulled out directly while in Titan state, this...?

After being touched by Su Xiao, Eren's pupils trembled, as if trying his best to regain consciousness.

Seeing this, Su Xiao felt a surge of joy—there was hope, so he punched Eren directly.

"Hmph..."

Eren let out a muffled groan, and a nosebleed flowed down. His pupils began to regain luster.

"Are you awake?"

"Yes, I think so."

Eren gasped for air. After seeing Armin in the distance, he breathed a sigh of relief. So that was acting just now; he almost thought it was real.

Actually, that was real...

"Continue your mission."

After waking Eren up, Su Xiao immediately left the nape of the Titan and jumped to a nearby roof.

Eren glanced at the giant rock; he felt he could now control the Titan body beneath him.

He took a deep breath, and the Titan's muscles gradually wrapped around Eren, but this time his pupils were very lustrous.

Eren first familiarized himself with the current feeling, took two steps with the Titan, and clenched his hands into fists.

The surging power in his body surprised Eren; he had never been this strong before.

He walked in large strides to the front of the giant rock and hugged it with both hands.

"Roar!!"

Eren let out a roar and lifted the giant rock, carrying it on his shoulder.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Every step Eren took caused the ground within a hundred meters to vibrate. The Titan's body emitted large amounts of sparks, and his entire body turned black-yellow, as if he would vaporize at any moment. This giant rock was somewhat beyond Eren's capacity.

Su Xiao took out a signal gun and fired into the sky. A signal flare with yellow smoke exploded.

The plan was 90% successful. ===== CHAPTER 163 =====
