Chapter 167: The World's Secret

Below Wall Luo Sai, second district.

After starting to guard the defensive line in the morning, the Brotherhood members discovered that the situation today was wrong.

The offensive of Titans, one after another yesterday, became sparse today. The Brotherhood soon understood the reason: the third district had been breached. This was news brought by Chen, who had returned to the group.

After hearing this, Commander Adam was not surprised; after all, the third district was a temporary team composed of scattered individuals, and it was normal for the front line to be broken.

But after Chen stated the real reason why the third district was breached, Adam felt terrible. The Commander of the third district had actually run away. Although he didn't take his sister-in-law, this kind of running behavior left Adam very speechless.

But after understanding the specific situation, Adam felt a vague sense of unease. The disappearance of the protagonist Eren and the attitude of the plot character Mikasa all represented one point: the Commander of the third district might be planning something.

Adam had a headache. His team was a peace faction and never took the initiative to provoke other Qiyuezhe, but they would never tolerate it if other Qiyuezhe came to commit offenses.

After considering for a long time, Adam decided not to provoke Su Xiao, but the Brotherhood was not just sitting and waiting for death.

The Brotherhood had a member who had learned skills in sealing techniques in the Naruto world. Although the level of sealing techniques was not high, as long as they were given two days, the hole in the wall could be completely sealed, so Adam ignored the breached third district. The reduction of Titans in the second district would speed up their speed of blocking the hole in the second district.

Just when the sealing technique had blocked most of the hole, bad news appeared: the plot protagonist Eren was heading straight for the hole in the third district with a big rock.

After seeing this scene, Adam almost vomited a mouthful of old blood. The plot protagonist was so damn obedient; he was tricked into being a coolie in less than a morning.

Following the roar of that giant rock smashing onto the wall, the first place in the offensive and defensive battle was snatched away.

Adam was not a narrow-minded person. Three war zones completed the mission based on their own abilities; if others snatched it first, it was others' ability.

"Brothers, the hole is about to be sealed. That blue equipment is also a good reward. Everyone has worked hard."

Adam tried to boost morale.

"Boss is really optimistic."

"Boss is a ten-thousand-year second place."

The Brotherhood members responded listlessly, but the atmosphere within the group was harmonious, and there were no complaints. Seeing this scene, Adam shook his head with a bitter smile.

The hole in the second district was about three meters in size, and most of the hole was blocked by rubble covered with black tadpole patterns. In another three or four hours, the hole would be completely sealed.

But just at this moment, Adam heard a loud noise coming from the outside of the wall, and golden light shone through the hole.

"This is?"

Adam guessed what that golden light was after considering for less than 0.5 seconds.

"Everyone, stay away from the wall immediately!"

Adam roared. Although he shouted for others to stay away, he rushed to the front of the hole alone.

"Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!"

Adam pressed one hand to the ground, and a large number of trees grew rapidly in the mud, eventually forming a tree wall.

Compared to Senju Hashirama's Wood Style, Adam's Wood Style skill could only be considered the light of a grain of rice, but Adam, who had mastered several Wood Style skills, had very strong growth potential.

Boom!

A loud noise came from the side of the Brotherhood members, and the wall they had worked hard to seal was kicked to pieces directly from the outside.

A few giant toes emitting steam appeared in the hole; the Colossal Titan had appeared again.

Those stones kicked away carried huge kinetic energy, shooting outward like bullets. If these stones hit a human body, it would be no different from a hammer smashing a tomato.

That wooden wall woven from trees became the Brotherhood's life-saving talisman, blocking all those stones. The dozens of Brotherhood members were just blown up by the powerful impact.

In less than three seconds, the second district was breached, and the Brotherhood members were blown away like scattered flowers.

A Titan embedded with bone armor rushed toward the hole in the second district. Without any obstruction, the Armored Titan successfully escaped through the hole.

The Armored Titan escaped with Annie, and the Colossal Titan also immediately turned into a large amount of steam.

Actually, the third district was the Colossal Titan's most ideal breakthrough point, but a large number of Survey Corps members were gathered there, and the Armored Titan didn't dare to escape toward there.

'Bertholdt Hu Fu (Colossal Titan)', who had been ambushing on the wall, discovered this situation, so he chose the second district, which had been mostly sealed and didn't have many Survey Corps members.

Compared to Qiyuezhe, these three spies who mastered 'Titan power' were more wary of the Survey Corps.

Within the walls, in a ruin.

Su Xiao picked up the 'Vertical Maneuvering Equipment' on the ground. This thing was not bad for running away, and he was now a member of the Survey Corps.

Now the 'intelligent Titan trio' within the walls had all escaped outside the walls, and the difficulty of the subsequent offensive and defensive missions would be greatly reduced.

Standing on the roof and looking at the miserable state of the second district from afar, Su Xiao sighed inwardly. The Brotherhood was truly unlucky, but that suddenly appearing tree wall made him very concerned; that thing looked familiar no matter how he looked at it.

Su Xiao began to consider his next actions. First, he had to speed up the progress of the offensive and defensive missions in the other two districts. If the offensive and defensive missions were successfully completed, he could obtain a piece of blue-quality equipment. If that blue equipment happened to suit him, his combat power would increase significantly.

However, compared to completing the offensive and defensive missions, Su Xiao was more looking forward to the 'Titan Trio' coming to find him.

His current location was within the walls. Although the area within the walls was not small, it was too small compared to the entire continental plate of the Titan world.

The Titan world was not just the range of the three ring-shaped walls. This was a very vast and interesting world, which could be considered a mixture of technology and trace magic. According to the data Su Xiao consulted, the general situation of the Titan world was as follows.

A long time ago, on a very vast continent (not the location of the walls, but a much broader continent), there were two major countries on this continent, namely the 'Ma Lai Empire' and the 'Eldian Empire'.

The 'Eldian Empire' was somewhat weaker than the 'Ma Lai Empire'. The two countries fought for years to snatch territory, and the 'Eldian Empire' was defeated across the board, immediately facing the destruction of the country.

But one day, a woman named Ymir in the 'Eldian Empire' obtained a kind of power by chance.

The way this power was obtained was called by later generations as signing a contract with the 'Devil of the Earth' by the Marleyans.

Ymir herself was a war orphan, so she hated the Marleyans very much. After obtaining the power, Ymir threw herself into her motherland, the 'Eldian Empire', and helped the 'Eldian Empire' in the war.

That's right, what Ymir obtained was Titan power, the most primitive, most ancient, and strongest Titan power.

A body over a hundred meters tall, a body embedded with bone armor, indestructible strength, and even the ability to tamper with or clear the memories of nearby humans.

After such a terrifying monster joined the war, the Ma Lai Empire was defeated. In less than five years, the 'Eldian Empire' ruled that continent and established an extremely powerful empire.

As the strongest person in the world, Ymir naturally became the Queen of the Empire and the sole ruler.

Although Queen Ymir had strong power, she would also age, get sick, and die. On her 117th birthday, Ymir passed away amidst the crying of her descendants.

On her deathbed, Ymir instructed her nine children to eat her flesh and blood after she died.

Ymir's children followed suit, and the power of the Founding Titan was divided into nine. Ymir's nine children each obtained one of her abilities. Her children set names for these Titan powers, which were the Attack Titan, Armored Titan, Female Titan, Colossal Titan, Beast Titan, Jaw Titan, etc., nine types in total.

The glory of the 'Eldian Empire' continued, but Ymir's children soon discovered a situation: after inheriting Titan power, their lifespan became short, only 13 years, and Ymir happened to live to 117 years old. Divided into nine parts, it was 13 years.

Not only that, the Eldian royal family also discovered that only the Eldian race could inherit Titan power; Marleyans could not inherit Titan power.

This point made the Eldian royal family attach importance to it. They enslaved women of other races and forced them to produce Eldian bloodlines.

The nine types of Titan power could be inherited by devouring the previous generation of inheritors. If the previous generation of inheritors died without being devoured, that type of Titan power would randomly appear in a newborn of the Eldian race.

This point further consolidated the rule of the 'Eldian Empire'. This empire ruled that vast continent for a full seventeen hundred years.

The Ma Lai Empire had long since perished under the crushing of Titan power, but the Marleyans were not willing to be ruled like this.

After facing a thousand years of rule, a genius with extremely high IQ appeared in the only remaining Ma Lai royal family. This genius understood that frontal confrontation could never defeat the 'Eldian Empire', but he thought of another method: using alienation to provoke the relationship between the nine great Titan families.

The empire that had existed for nearly two thousand years had long since decayed. Through the efforts of several generations of Marleyans, the nine great Titan families turned against each other.

A cruel civil war began, and the Marleyans used this opportunity to seize seven types of Titan power, almost turning the tables.

But there was still a big mountain in front of the Marleyans. One of the nine great Titan families was too powerful. That Titan family mastered the strongest Titan power among the nine Titans, a power very close to the Founding Titan, so that type of Titan power was also called the Founding Titan power. That Titan power could control the secondary Titans awakened by 'Eldian civilians'. Secondary Titans were very similar to the current mindless Titans.

In the long war, when the Founding Titan reached the 145th generation, the inheritor of that generation didn't know what he suddenly realized, took a group of Eldians, and left that continent, settling on a small island next to the continent.

After seeing this blood-red ripple, the women of the Other Shore Flower were first somewhat surprised, but soon killing intent surged in their eyes.

Afterward, the 145th King used the same method to build two other walls inside Wall Maria, namely Wall Luo Sai and Wall Sina.

The 145th King became the first King within the walls, and together with the Marleyans, he harmed the only Titan family that was resisting. The first King let his subordinates obtain the Titan power of that family, and the Titan power of that family could tamper with and cleanse human memory.

Under the command of the first King, the memories of the people within the walls were tampered with, making the people forget the continent not far away, and forget the knowledge and culture of Eldia.

Afterward, the first King signed a non-aggression treaty with the reborn 'Ma Lai Empire'.

But one day, the first King discovered that there were many more mindless Titans outside the walls. It turned out that the 'Ma Lai Empire' had initially cracked the secret of Titans, and the mindless Titans outside the walls were all test subjects of the Ma Lai Empire.

After the first King discovered that the Founding Titan power could control these mindless Titans, he ignored these Titans. This made the people within the walls afraid to go out, which just happened to coincide with his intention.

Just like that, the world within the walls appeared, and the world within the walls thus spent a hundred years of peaceful life.

But the first King didn't know that the continent not far away had long since led to severe resource depletion due to years of war, so the Ma Lai Empire set its sights on this vast island.

The Ma Lai Empire didn't declare war directly. They were somewhat wary of the first King's Titan power, so the Ma Lai Empire sent four spies who mastered Titan power to infiltrate the walls and wait for an opportunity to destroy them, respectively.

Annie Leonhart (Female Titan power), infiltrated the wall world at 13 years old.

Reiner Braun (Armored Titan power), infiltrated the wall world at 18 years old.

Bertholdt Hu Fu (Colossal Titan power), infiltrated the wall world at 17 years old.

Galliard (Jaw Titan power), deceased, swallowed by a mindless Titan on the way.

When the three-person team arrived outside the walls, 'Bertholdt (Colossal Titan)' kicked open the outer wall gate, and Reiner Braun (Armored Titan) smashed the inner gate. The plot of the Titan world officially began.

Afterward, the three joined the Training Corps and were contemporaries with the plot protagonist Eren.

Now Wall Luo Sai was breached, which was the three's second attack on the humans within the walls.
