The blade cut through the air—
But it wasn't enough.
Eren Yeager's attack barely scratched the Titan's skin.
"What…?"
The Titan didn't even react.
For a second…everything froze.
Then—
💥 SMASH!!
A massive force sent Eren flying across the ground.
His body hit hard… the air was knocked out of his lungs…he couldn't move.
Pain.
Real pain.
"Is this… all I can do…?"
Heavy footsteps approached…
Thump… Thump… Thump…
The Titan moved toward him slowly…as if it already knew the end was near.
Eren tried to stand…
But his legs refused.
"No… not like this…"
Memories flashed in his mind—
Blood.Screams.Fear.
And rage… greater than before 🔥
"I won't… die here."
At that moment—
A strange voice echoed inside his head.
This time… it wasn't normal.
"Do you seek power?"
His eyes widened 😳
"Who… is there?!"
Time stopped.
The whole world went silent.
Even the Titan froze.
"Accept it… and rise."
His heart started pounding violently… faster than ever 💥
Something inside him… was burning.
Not pain…
🔥 Power.
His veins became visible… his eyes darkened…the air around him grew heavy.
"What… is happening to me…?"
The Titan sensed something…and took a step back 😨
For the first time—
The monster felt fear.
Eren slowly stood up…
Despite the injuries…despite the pain…
But this time—
He wasn't the same person anymore.
"Now… I understand."
He raised his head… and smiled.
A terrifying smile 😈
"I don't need to run anymore."
💥 BOOOOOOM!!
The ground cracked beneath his feet…
A surge of power exploded from within him!
The line between human… and monster…
Was starting to disappear.
