Zeke appeared before Levi with a sense of calm. Levi, you wanted to see me so badly, didn't you? Even though I no longer wish to see you.
Levi hadn't expected Zeke to show himself so brazenly.
Mikasa and her group on the other side couldn't help but wonder what the current situation was.
Armin excitedly explained that it was all thanks to Mr. Zeke. Zeke had awakened everyone who had been asleep in the world of paths, connecting all Eldians through the paths.
This was likely because the Founding Ymir had been seeking a connection, searching for some answer within everyone.
Zeke apologized for not fulfilling Mr. Kushima's wish, but he still believed his euthanasia plan was correct.
However, if it was just to play catch with Mr. Kushima, he wouldn't mind being born again. Therefore, he would grudgingly thank his father for bringing him into this world.
Armin, standing beside him, repeatedly apologized to Bertholdt. He had taken everything from him, not just his life and power, but also his invaluable memories.
But Armin knew clearly that he couldn't stay here forever. There were more important things for him to do, so he asked for everyone's help.
The bright sun and the azure sky, what a fine day it was, Zeke mused. If only he had thought this way sooner, cherishing those ordinary yet incredibly important everyday moments.
But it was all in the past. After all, he had killed so many people. There was no easy way out now.
In the next moment, Levi swung his blade in return, cleanly severing Zeke's head. With this, Levi finally fulfilled his last promise to Erwin. With Zeke's death, the Rumbling truly stopped.
Meanwhile, Reiner, Pieck, Porco, Marcel, and the Ymir Alliance worked to prevent any further progress, believing that Jean could still blow up Eren's head.
Jean tightly clutched the detonator lost in the air. Eren, however, simply watched Jean's actions with a detached gaze. Tears streaming down his face, Jean angrily cursed Eren as a reckless scoundrel eager to die.
In the next instant, a violent explosion erupted into the sky. The titan's head, fractured by the blast, detached from its skeleton.
However, Jean immediately sensed something was wrong. A glowing strange egg-like creature was tenaciously attached to Eren's head. This scoundrel refused to let go of Eren's head.
Just then, that man once again stepped forward. The invincible Armored Titan charged forward with brute force, grabbing the egg-like creature around its waist and then pinning it firmly to the ground.
Simultaneously, Falco and his group arrived at the scene, preparing to pick up Jean and Pieck, as Armin intended to blow the entire area up.
Upon hearing this, Jean urgently pleaded for them to wait for Reiner, as Reiner was still grappling with the egg-like creature.
Pieck immediately responded that the invincible Armored Titan could withstand the explosion of the Colossal Titan, and missing this opportunity would be to betray Reiner's resolve.
Reiner exerted the same ferocity he used to shatter the walls, firmly pinning down the egg-like creature's nest. The group, led by Falco, could only retreat from the battlefield.
Meanwhile, Armin thanked everyone for their help. Without their assistance, it would have been impossible to stop the ground. Golden light began to seep out of Armin's body.
Farewell, Eren. This was the moment to prove their resolve. In the next instant, a devastating explosion swept through the colossal skeleton. Land for a hundred miles around was obliterated by the blast of the Colossal Titan. Falco then carried everyone to the fortress. By this time, the colossal skeleton had vanished, and the Rumbling had successfully ceased.
Everyone couldn't help but question, was Eren truly dead?
At this moment, Mikasa felt an unbearable headache. Her mind was filled with Eren's past words. She had heard that Ackerman who awakened their powers would experience recurrent headaches, being slaves who never question and only follow orders.
"I've always hated you since I was little, Mikasa."
Mikasa refused to believe Eren's words. How could such a thing be possible?
Meanwhile, Reiner and the others' parents arrived. Seeing the familiar faces before them, they immediately embraced their parents tearfully. Pieck also tearfully nestled in her father's arms.
On the other side, Falco's parents were proud of his actions. Looking at this heartwarming scene, those from Paradis Island believed they had done the right thing. Stopping the Rumbling was indeed the correct course of action.
At this moment, Annie was searching everywhere for her father's whereabouts. Why wasn't her father among the crowd?
Just then, Reiner's mother approached Annie, informing her of her father's location.
Upon hearing that her father was still alive, Annie joyfully ran into the fortress. After years of separation, the father and daughter were finally reunited. Seeing Annie safe and sound, her father was overcome with emotion, unable to express his joy. Annie quietly gazed at her long-missed father. As long as she could see him again, everything was worth it.
Meanwhile, Mikasa and her group immediately checked on Reiner and Armin's condition. Armin slowly crawled out of the crater caused by the explosion. Reiner, though severely injured, survived the blast thanks to his invincible armor.
Seeing Reiner safe, Armin's suspended heart finally settled. Everyone present was relieved to see them unharmed.
But in the next moment, they discovered that the glowing egg-like creature was still alive and kicking.
Armin and Reiner walked towards the egg-like creature, preparing to completely annihilate it. They could not allow this disgusting insect to continue existing. Would the war truly end here?
Of course not. In the next second, with a deafening roar from the sky, Eren reappeared in a flash. The final battle for everyone had just begun.
