The commotion on Eren's side was far from small.
From within the center of his Susanoo, the Wood Style clone turned its head and saw a fifteen-meter giant with sharply pointed ears, its features vaguely elfin, bellowing in rage.
Far away, sensing what the Wood Style clone was seeing, a flicker of interest appeared in Madara's eyes.
"A human transforming into a giant? Interesting."
But to him, it was nothing more than that — a passing curiosity.
To Madara, whether it was an intelligent giant or a mindless one, they were all the same: things to be cut down in a single stroke.
"ROAR!"
The moment the elfin giant Eren had become appeared, it stomped hard against the ground, roaring as it charged toward the towering blue Susanoo.
Its speed was impressive — for its size. But to Madara's eyes, it was laughably slow.
Eren raised his fist as he reached Susanoo, only for a massive chakra blade to swing down in a clean arc — aimed precisely at the nape.
Slash!
The blade flashed, and the giant's head went flying. One exchange — beheaded instantly.
From amidst the rubble, Mikasa — who had been stunned by Eren's sudden transformation — saw this scene and her pupils contracted sharply.
Eren!
—
After decapitating the giant, Madara's lips curved into a faint, intrigued smile.
That swing had been measured and certain, aimed squarely at the titan's critical nape. Yet in the instant before the strike landed, the target had swayed — as if stepping on something — narrowly avoiding a killing blow.
A coincidence?
Madara did not believe in luck; only in power held firmly in one's own hands.
Which meant… this giant possessed intelligence.
Boom!
The decapitated giant crashed into the wall, but within mere seconds, it regenerated — faster than any other titan could hope to.
It was obvious: with the world of the Titans on the brink of collapse, the fate source of the world had begun instinctively defending itself, granting its child of destiny — Eren — new, overpowered "plot armor" to rapidly boost his strength in a short span.
And now, the protagonist of this world had received his upgrade.
Perhaps, Madara thought, this might let him swing his blade more than once or twice.
"ROAR!"
The elfin giant turned and slammed a punch into Susanoo's face — because Madara hadn't even tried to dodge.
Thud!
It was like striking a wall of iron. Susanoo didn't so much as flinch, but the giant's own fist bent and fractured under the impact.
One massive spectral hand reached out and gripped the titan's neck, hoisting it high into the air. Another hand raised its chakra blade.
Madara's smile deepened — and the blade came down.
Clang!
A sharp, metallic screech rang out, vibrating teeth and bones.
From the titan's neck sprouted a thick layer of hardened armor — not just as hard as steel, but far tougher. Even the longsword of a half-formed Susanoo could bite only partway through before being stopped cold.
In the blink of an eye, the armor spread, sheathing the giant's entire body.
With a surge of strength, Eren wrenched open Susanoo's spectral grip and crashed back to the ground, his roar thundering with fury.
With that roar came a strange wave of power, rippling outward.
Before Madara's eyes, the once-still walls trembled — as if stirred by an unseen force — rousing the slumbering titans within.
In less than twenty seconds, a stretch of wall nearly a kilometer long shook violently and then collapsed in a deafening crash.
From within, massive hands reached out. One after another, sixty-meter Colossal Titans opened their eyes and stepped forth from the wall in full view of the horrified humans.

The royal family's power to command mindless titans, stolen by Eren's father and passed to him through special means.
And now, in his titan form, Eren had not only invoked the Coordinate in an instant but had also awakened the power of the Armored Titan — something he had never possessed before.
Watching this unfold, Nawaki could only sigh.
Protagonists… when they start stacking cheats, they really have no brakes.

Meanwhile—
In a span of seconds, nearly a thousand Colossal Titans surrounded the comparatively "tiny" Susanoo, making it look like a child surrounded by a ring of giants.
The atmosphere should have grown oppressive — but Madara's lips only stretched into a grin.
Interesting. From a foe who could be felled with a single cut, to one who could survive two… and now commanding an army.
Unfortunately, the radar map he'd purchased from the Lord God could only follow his main body. The Wood Style clone had no access to enemy stats.
So — how far could this strange titan evolve?
"Very well. I've slaughtered millions of helpless things. Now… show me what you can do when you actually move."
Arms folded, the Wood Style clone stood within Susanoo, grinning with genuine anticipation.
"At last, you've given me a reason to enjoy myself. Come — let us dance."
Swish!
With a single step, Susanoo shot forward like an arrow, weaving between the legs of Colossal Titans.
Each time it passed one, its blades flashed — slicing bodies in half, shearing away the flesh at the nape — then rebounding in an agile leap to avoid counterattacks, passing so close they brushed by one another.
Four arms, four longswords, moving in a rhythm both deadly and eerily graceful — like some macabre battle-dance.
For something nearly twenty meters tall, it shouldn't have been possible to move with such fluidity — yet it did, a grim, mesmerizing spectacle.
It was the Dance of Death, honed on countless battlefields.
...
When all the surviving Colossal Titans had been drawn together into one massive cluster, Susanoo leapt high.
Inside, Madara's fingers flew through hand seals — four giant hands mirroring the sequence.
The armored titan head tilted back, its maw opening wide.
From within erupted a torrent of flame so intense it seemed it would burn the world itself. The blaze struck the ground and erupted outward in a violent expansion, engulfing every Colossal Titan in its path.
Susanoo — Great Fire Annihilation!
