OPI Chapter 205: The Final Showdown Begins
🕑 Added 2024-07-28 04:54:30 +0000 UTCAmidst a vast sea of white clouds, majestic snow-capped mountains rose.
However, in this harsh and dangerous environment, a biplane flew from a distance. Fighting against the wind and snow, it landed at a point in the middle of the largest mountain.
[Bang!]
The door of the plane opened and a couple, bundled up in thick winter clothes, stepped out one after the other.
"Huh, as expected, the climate here in April and May is relatively good." Eren said as he took a few steps on the snow. With a smile of excitement, he looked at the blue sky and the snowy mountains. He had always dreamed of seeing these magnificent landscapes with his own eyes.
Mikasa could also feel the genuine joy emanating from him. So, she chose not to say anything, trying not to disturb his moment of happiness, knowing that Eren's time was running out.
So about twenty minutes passed in silence on the frozen mountain, until Eren turned around with a radiant smile. "Mikasa, I love this quiet life. And the best thing is that we can enjoy it for about three more days."
"Three days?" Mikasa sighed and asked: "Can't we just keep running? You said you still have a year to live."
"It was possible before, but not now. They've sent someone who seems to possess the power of Light. Even if we constantly change planes, in four days they will catch up to us, defeat us, and capture us." Eren replied. "Even if I don't want to admit it, their world is truly extraordinary."
"If so, why not choose a final battlefield to die on? This place is perfect."
"Die?" Mikasa covered her mouth in disbelief. "Didn't you say they would just capture you?"
"After capturing me, they will send me to an Eldian to devour me." Eren explained calmly.
"In this way, they will obtain the power of the Nine Titans without any problems. And in the memories of the next bearer, I have seen that the Eldians live in even more miserable and degrading conditions than before."
"But I can't see beyond those memories. There are two possibilities: either there are no more Attack Titan wielders afterward, or the wielder goes to their world, so I can't see it."
Mikasa said in a low voice: "So, are you planning to die here?"
"Yes!"
"If I die before then, the power of the Nine Titans will be randomly passed on to a newborn Eldian baby, until the power awakens one day."
Eren seemed to release the pressure in his heart.
"In this case, before the nine new carriers awaken their powers and display them, they must treat the Eldians well, and it will take at least a dozen years for these carriers to grow."
Eren sighed silently, thinking that this was the most he could do.
"So that's your plan. You gathered the Nine Titans to prevent those from the other world from easily obtaining them." Mikasa said.
"No, I did it so they wouldn't get them too easily." Eren corrected.
"Either way, our world's defeat is an inevitable future. So they will obtain the power of the Nine Titans in the end."
"But things that are obtained too easily are not valued. So I want them to wait patiently for years. Also, if they don't fully understand the power of the Titans and the Eldians, they won't value them. So..."
Mikasa, surprised, finished the sentence for him: "So you started this world war to show them the power of the Titans."
"That's right." Eren nodded. "The Founding Titan that can activate the Rumbling, the Colossal Titan that can produce a super explosion, and the Attack Titan that can see the memory of the future host must have left a deep impression on them."
"Next, I will show them the power of the Beast Titan, the Warhammer Titan, the Armored Titan, the Jaw Titan and the Female Titan here, and then commit suicide! "
Eren took out a small black box, with a button on top, and handed it to Mikasa.
"Take this, if there is any accident, you must press it."
"What is this?!" Mikasa took it in doubt.
"Nothing, just a remote control to detonate the bomb next to my heart, Mikasa, I hope to die in your hands in the end!" Eren said firmly.
"..." Mikasa opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. Her hands were shaking, and her heart was breaking. With a hoarse voice, she said softly: "Can't we fight together and die together?"
"No." Eren shook his head and caressed her cheek, with a smile on his face. "I've seen it. If you fight, you won't get a chance to press that button. So, on the morning of the fourth day, you must fly away on that plane."
"So, don't let me down, okay?"
Feeling the warm hand on her cheek, Mikasa, with a pain in her heart, could only nod with difficulty. "Okay."
...
On the other hand, a golden flash suddenly appeared in the sky thousands of kilometers away from the mountain where Eren is.
"Moshi, Moshi, I'm Borsalino, do I need to adjust the direction next?" Borsalino lazily asked the Den-Den Mushi in his palm.
"No need. My instincts tell me the target hasn't changed course."
"Okay~"
Borsalino sighed and transformed into a ray of light again, then disappeared in the blink of an eye. The next moment, he appeared in the air twelve kilometers away.
In this way, after flashing three times in a row, he took out the Den-Den Mushi and asked the same question again.
He was already annoyed. Ever since he joined this Eren Yeager's hunting team, he has been doing almost the same thing. Not only is it boring, but it is also very tiring.
On the other hand, on the plane, Redfield was flipping a coin on a world map.
"Is it the same location again?" Laskey looked in surprise at where the coin landed.
"Our target has been motionless for three days, waiting for us, or rather, for Borsalino." Redfield said with an intriguing smile.
"Waiting for Borsalino? Is he giving up or does he have some tricks up his sleeve?" Laskey wondered.
"Let's let Borsalino find out. With the speed of our plane, we'll arrive when it's all over."
Redfield picked up the Den-Den Mushi and explained the situation to Borsalino. Finally, he said in a mocking tone: "You can go full speed ahead. Good luck, General Borsalino~"
"Am I finally going to meet that Eren Yeager? He's the person who killed General Byrnndi World. He must be very scary, right?"
Borsalino looked surprised and a little nervous with a crooked mouth. This expression was directly imitated by the Den-Den Mushi in his hand, leaving the three people in the cabin speechless and not knowing what to say.
Borsalino put away the Den-Den Mushi and turned into a golden flash again, approaching Eren at an astonishing speed.
At dawn the next day, Borsalino reached the snowy mountains.
"Yo~ Looks like I found him~" Borsalino's Kenbunshoku Haki immediately sensed the breath of Eren who was standing on top of the largest mountain.
But now Eren has transformed into a Titan covered in shiny crystals, with white armor on the inside and lots of hair on his cheeks.
When the Titan's eyes met Borsalino's, he showed a ferocious smile. This is the Ultimate Titan that Eren has become by combining the power of the Nine Titans!
"What a terrible look~~" Borsalino, with his usual carefree attitude, commented sarcastically while cocking his head.
The next moment, the sound of laser concentration began to be heard as Borsalino pointed his finger, which transformed into a bright golden beam.
An instant later, with a humming sound, the thin beam of light shot out, crossing hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye.
The Crystal Titan seemed to have expected it. As soon as Borsalino raised his finger, he stretched out his left palm and golden lightning rapidly gathered.
The process was brief. When the lightning dissipated, a white shield appeared, covered in transparent crystal.
[Clang!]
In an instant, the ray of light hit the smooth surface of the crystal shield, refracting.
A moment later, a thunderous bang rang out, followed by a huge fiery explosion on the top of a nearby snowy mountain.
"No way~ My attack was bounced off?"
Borsalino looked at his finger in surprise, then at the massive crystal Titan, still holding the shield.
At that moment, Eren suddenly jumped off the top of the mountain and, with agile movements, began to run down the mountain.
He knew he was destined to lose, but even so, he would fight with all his might.
"Where are you going?"
In the blink of an eye, a golden light reached him from behind, and Borsalino's lazy voice reached his ears. Although he knew Eren wouldn't understand, it was difficult for him to fight in complete silence.
[Boom!]
Eren reacted quickly, spinning in mid-motion and using the crystal shield in his left hand to block a kick launched at him.
However, the force of Borsalino's 'light speed kick' was so tremendous that the Crystal Titan was launched like a cannonball, until it crashed into another snowy mountain, being quickly buried by an avalanche of snow.
