"Peh peh peh!" Ivanor spat out the dust in her mouth in a sorry state, brushing aside her messy hair. The moment she raised her head, she saw the rough head and crimson eyes of the Fortress Titan.
After taking a deep breath, Ivanor staggered to her feet atop the Fortress Titan. Looking at the Titan warriors locked in chaotic battle, and thinking of Airi, who had been swallowed by artillery fire to protect her, Ivanor grew furious.
Stamping hard on the Fortress Titan beneath her feet, Ivanor shouted,
"Bazel! Let's crush these damned bastards together!"
Click. Bazel's Fortress Titan seemed too sluggish, only giving a slight twist of its neck in response.
Without hesitation, Ivanor slashed open her palm. Golden lightning erupted from her body, and the arcs of electricity spread to envelop the massive body of the Fortress Titan. Amid the rising steam, endless roars echoed out.
The Fortress Titan was fusing with the Paladin Titan. The immense momentum of the fusion between the two Titans also affected the other Titan warriors. Taking advantage of the War Hammer Titan's momentary distraction, the Airwing Titan immediately spread its wings and broke free from the War Hammer Titan's hardened arrow attack range.
On the other side, the Claw Titan lured the Silver-Split Titan behind it toward the Cart Titan's direction, while the Cart Titan likewise drew the Silver-Split Titan behind it toward the Claw Titan.
"Porco! Now!" With a shout from the Cart Titan, the Claw Titan understood instantly. The two Titans sidestepped at the same time, circling past each other.
Swish swish!! The Claw Titan's sharp claws shot out, several piercing straight through the body of the Silver-Split Titan behind the Cart Titan. The impact caused the Silver-Split Titan to stagger and lose balance. Seizing the opportunity, Porco lunged forward, pinning it down. With a flurry of claw strikes, the Silver-Split Titan's body was torn apart, silver liquid spilling out.
At the same time, the artillery squad on the Cart Titan's back opened full firepower, successfully blasting out the crimson eyes of the Silver-Split Titan that had been chasing the Claw Titan. The Cart Titan opened its massive jaws, leapt into the air, and bit off the Silver-Split Titan's head in one bite.
Under the towering flames, yet another Silver-Split Titan shrieked as it was burned into a puddle of silver liquid and evaporated.
The Armored Titan held the head of the last half-crippled, futilely struggling Silver-Split Titan in its hand, dragging it forward.
The Crimson Flame Titan followed behind, sparks flickering at the corner of its mouth. At the same time, the Cart Titan and Claw Titan, having just dealt with two Silver-Split Titans, rushed over as well.
Having lost the Airwing Titan as its target, the War Hammer Titan also arrived here.
These five Titans representing Marley stood together, erupting with an unprecedented, terrifying aura.
Opposite them, the heavily armored knight fusion Titan—formed from the fusion of the Paladin Titan and Fortress Titan—tore through the steam, revealing its massive and imposing body. The heavy hammer weapon formed from the Fortress Titan's body emitted a chilling glow.
Beside the fusion Titan, although all its split bodies had been slain by the Marleyan Titan warriors, the final Silver-Split Titan showed no panic. Its silver body rippled again like mercury, and in the blink of an eye, four more Silver-Split Titans emerged from its body.
A sharp screech rang through the sky as the Airwing Titan tore through the night, hovering above the Silver-Split Titans and the fusion Titan with its wings spread.
The two sides of Titan warriors fell into a tense standoff. But no matter how one looked at it, it was clear that the scales of victory were tilted toward Marley.
With a raise of its hand, the War Hammer Titan condensed white light into a long-handled spiked hammer. Lifting it, the War Hammer Titan pointed toward the opposing Titans and said coldly,
"Betraying Marley leaves only one outcome—death!"
"Well said!" Just as the words fell, another massive pillar of golden lightning appeared behind the Marley Titans. Amid the flashing arcs, a monkey-like Titan with dense fur covering its entire body except for its abdomen roared as it entered the stage.
"Zeke!" Seeing the Beast Titan arrive in time, Magath grew excited. Now, their chances of victory were even greater!
The Beast Titan didn't hold back. With a strange smile on its ape-like face, its massive hands grabbed chunks of rubble from the surrounding ruins and began crushing them.
"Try this!" Bang!! The Beast Titan raised its long arm and hurled the crushed stones with immense force. The air itself let out a whistling sound no less fierce than artillery shells.
In the next instant, countless fragments struck the Silver-Split Titans like small cannon shells. The Airwing Titan let out a strange cry, its massive flesh wings riddled with holes like a torn sack.
One of the Silver-Split Titan's four split bodies was directly blown apart, but it quickly split again to create a new one.
Only the fusion Titan remained completely unaffected. The armor formed from the Fortress Titan's body made it nearly impervious to blades and bullets. In front of it, the title of Marley's Shield held by the Armored Titan was nothing but a joke.
This display of force from the Beast Titan failed to intimidate the opposing Titan warriors. Both sides remained locked in a standoff, ready to erupt at any moment.
Meanwhile, hidden among the ruins, Ebson, who sat quietly, grew somewhat impatient. He didn't want to waste time entangling himself with these foolish Marleyans. Yet after waiting for so long, he still hadn't seen the person he wanted.
Gradually losing patience, Ebson stood up, intending to leave. But at that very moment, a loudspeaker broadcast suddenly echoed through the now-ruined venue.
"Zzz—zzz—hallo? Zzz—" As the harsh static gradually faded, the voice from the loudspeaker became clearer.
"Can you hear me? Oh! Much clearer now." Yago fiddled with the disc-shaped microphone in front of him, looking delighted.
The place where Yago stood was quite coincidental—it was right behind the residential building at the back of Willy Tybur's speech stage.
If Yago remembered correctly, in older Eren's memories, this was where Willy Tybur had been crushed into tomato paste by the Attack Titan, wasn't it?
Using the microphone and loudspeaker, Yago successfully drew everyone's attention. Both Ebson's Titan warriors and Marley's Titan warriors turned their heads toward the source of the broadcast, eventually spotting Yago on the rooftop of the residential building.
Holding the microphone, Yago looked at the hellish scene below and said with a smile,
"Good evening, everyone. The World Assembly hosted by Marley is really lively. I heard over two hundred countries from around the world were invited… but why didn't we receive an invitation?"
"That voice? It sounds familiar! Who is it!?" Pieck, inside the Cart Titan's nape, said in surprise. Reiner remained silent, lifting his head to look at Yago.
Willy Tybur's heart twitched slightly. "So… you've come?"
Raising his arm, Yago said,
"Why weren't we invited—us from Paradis Island? Since we weren't invited, then we won't stand on ceremony. We've come on our own to pay a visit. People of the world—on behalf of Paradis Island… Paradis Island, has arrived!!"
