The Airwing Titan fell straight down from the sky, its body like a torn sack, crashing miserably onto the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.
As the dust slowly dispersed, everyone could clearly see the figure standing atop the Airwing Titan's body.
Well-defined, smooth muscles, a nimble and powerful physique, the distinct chest feature that set it apart from all other Titan warriors, fluttering golden mid-length hair, and those cold yet oppressive light blue eyes.
"A—A Female Titan? What's going on? Didn't Zeke say the Female Titan had already fallen? Why is it appearing here again?" Commander Magath stared at the suddenly appeared Female Titan on the battlefield in shock.
Could this be an Eldian from Paradis Island? Did she seize the power of the Female Titan and use it for herself?
But Magath immediately denied this speculation. As the commander of the Marleyan warrior unit, he naturally understood the rules of Titan power inheritance among Eldians. Every inheritor of Titan power would have their own characteristics or traits.
Looking through Marley's recorded history, there had never been two successive Titan warriors with identical Titans. And Magath was extremely familiar with the warriors he had trained himself—there was no way he could mistake it. The newly appeared Female Titan on the field was exactly the same as Annie Leonhart's Female Titan!
"Could it be!?" Magath suddenly recalled a report he had received some time ago from the Liberio internment zone, stating that Leonard—the father of the honorary Marleyan Annie Leonhart—had gone missing.
At the time, Marley was in the middle of war with the Middle Easterners. Magath had been busy training the warrior unit in preparation for battle. Besides, the disappearance of a useless cripple wasn't something worth his attention. He had casually dismissed the matter.
But now it seemed Leonard hadn't disappeared without reason! The Female Titan before him was very likely Annie, which meant—Annie had betrayed Marley!?
Magath clenched his fist and slammed it hard against the railing in front of him. The Female Titan's betrayal was undoubtedly another piece of bad news for Marley. A hint of retreat immediately rose in his heart.
"Contact the train station! Is it still under our control?" Magath immediately pointed at the nearest signal soldier and shouted.
The signal soldier hurriedly began contacting the station. Moments later, he replied with visible excitement:
"Commander Magath! The train station is still in our hands, but it's extremely chaotic right now! The garrison reports that a large number of civilians and nobles are trying to flood into the station—they're under immense pressure!"
Hearing that the station was still under control, Magath finally let out a sigh of relief. But soon, he realized there was no more time to delay—the decision had to be made immediately!
Clang!! With a deep booming sound, the Fate Titan raised its heavy hammer and smashed it brutally into the body of the Fusion Titan. Instantly, the Fusion Titan's chest caved in visibly.
This blow made even its roar turn weak and powerless.
Just as the Fate Titan was about to press the attack with more strikes, the Fusion Titan—having been treated like a punching bag—finally snapped.
We're two Titans fused together, and you're just hammering us like this? Do we have no dignity!?
Inside the Fusion Titan, although Ivanor and Bazel were not physically together, they could communicate through the Titan's flesh via neural signals.
Even though Bazel couldn't hear Ivanor's voice, just receiving the transmitted thoughts was enough for him to imagine how furious she was right now.
The content wasn't very suitable to show in full—it would probably be a string of censored symbols. But roughly summarized, it was:
"Bazel! Give it everything you've got! I'm going to kill this thing!"
The enraged Fusion Titan roared to the sky. The Fortress Titan portion of its body suddenly grew wildly, as if injected with stimulants. The sunken chest was forced back into shape by layers of hardened crystal.
"Still got tricks left?" Yago was a bit surprised, but completely unafraid. No matter what tricks you've got, the Fate Titan will just smash you—if one hammer isn't enough, then two; if two aren't enough, then keep smashing until you collapse!
But before the Fate Titan could act, a figure had already dashed past it.
The Female Titan nimbly dodged the Fusion Titan's incoming claws. Using the momentum from her sprint, she performed a sliding attack, slipping directly beneath the Fusion Titan's lower body.
Crack! Crack! Hardening instantly covered her slender yet powerful fists as the Female Titan unleashed a barrage of rapid punches at the Fusion Titan's four horse-like legs.
Those legs were probably the only unprotected part of the Fusion Titan—likely because it had never expected an enemy to bypass its overwhelming defenses and directly attack its legs.
Slash! With one punch, the Female Titan snapped one of the Fusion Titan's legs, then quickly retreated. The massive body of the Fusion Titan immediately began to wobble.
Roaring in fury, it raised its fist. The Fortress Titan's power coated its fist with layers of crystalline hardening.
An indestructible punch smashed toward the Female Titan—
Bang!! A metallic clash rang out as a massive hardened shield blocked the attack.
The Fate Titan, holding the shield with one arm, let out a roar and turned its head. On the other side, the Female Titan seemed to sense something as well and looked up at the Fate Titan.
Their gazes met—crimson eyes reflecting pale blue. Perhaps a single look was enough to convey everything.
"You idiot girl! What are you doing here! Shouldn't you be helping Serena and the others? Always so disobedient! Once this is over, I'm definitely going to teach you a lesson—spank you!" Yago muttered inside the Fate Titan's nape.
But outside, the Fate Titan held up the shield, set down the giant hammer with its other hand, then raised its arm to form a slender hardened sword and tossed it to the Female Titan.
Originally, Yago had thought about forming a big hammer for her too, but imagining Annie swinging a giant hammer felt a bit strange. So he went with a hardened longsword instead. Whether Annie knew how to use it or not didn't matter—swinging a sword had to be better than punching, right?
The Female Titan caught the sword and nodded toward the Fate Titan. The Fate Titan roared, dropped the shield, and quickly retreated, picking up its hammer and moving to stand beside her.
In its extreme rage, the Fusion Titan's punch shattered the hardened shield Yago had thrown aside.
Inside the Female Titan's nape, Annie had no idea Yago was muttering about punishing her. All she was thinking was that she couldn't keep letting Yago face enemies alone—this time, she would fight alongside him and take down this giant!
Watching the two Titans charge straight toward it, Ivanor inside the Fusion Titan was practically exploding with anger. Smash them flat!!
Looking at the incoming punch from the Fusion Titan, Yago almost wanted to laugh. Didn't it see the giant hammer in his hand? Charging in barehanded? Fighting someone armed with weapons using empty fists—what kind of idiot does that?
...
Elsewhere, Eren—completely unaware that he had somehow been labeled an idiot—raised his hardened arms just in time, but was still sent flying by a fully charged swing from the War Hammer Titan.
His mouth split wide to his ears as more than a dozen Titan teeth were blasted out.
