Elevator Dimension Line

Nashita Oriha, carrying her favorite grenade launcher, flew behind at a leisurely pace, a smile playing on her lips, as if she were playing a fun game.

Pass!

Another grenade was fired at the female giant, this time aiming straight for the back of her hand that was covering her neck.

The imagined scene of the back of the hand being blown apart did not occur; instead, shattered crystals flew everywhere in the explosion.

After the smoke cleared, the giantess's entire hand had crystallized and bulged with a thick layer, like armor.

"Huh! Interesting. It actually has such an ability, self-generated protective armor... Let me see how many hits it can withstand."

Nashita Oriha fired four or five grenades in quick succession with her grenade launcher. Three of them hit the giantess's palm, while she dodged the other two by dodging to the left and right.

Even so, after being hit by three powerful grenade launchers, the female giant's hands were blown to pieces, and her crystal armor seemed to be useless.

Eren and Mikasa watched from the side. Eren hesitated, wanting to stop her, since Annie had taught him combat in the Training Corps and was practically his teacher. But Mikasa saw through Eren's thoughts, pulled him aside, and shook her head slightly.

These beautiful women who suddenly appeared—they didn't know the women's personalities. What if they were kind on the outside but ruthless on the inside? Seeing their close relationship with the Pope, even if they were punished because of this, the Pope probably wouldn't say anything!

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Giantess had switched hands and was covering the back of her neck. The blasted-off hand, after a few shakes, detached from her forearm and fell to the ground.

The giantess never stopped running, and the Maria Wall was now almost in sight.

Nashita Oriha could not possibly let the female giant jump over the wall, so if she did, she would have nowhere to run, but that would be too embarrassing for her.

With a sudden burst of power from its slightly flapping wings, it instantly overtook the giantess and arrived directly opposite her.

At the same time, the grenade launcher in his hand had been replaced with an exaggeratedly designed, technologically advanced, elongated rifle with a light blue fluorescent glow on the body, and some hollowed-out parts where electric light could be seen flashing inside.

This is an electromagnetic version of a Gauss sniper cannon... Of course, the Female Titan certainly doesn't know that, but that doesn't stop Nashita Oriha from showing it to her.

The gun muzzle shifted slightly, and the next moment, without warning, a blue light with layers of halos flashed at the muzzle.

Then, the giantess's rotten right shoulder suddenly exploded, and her entire arm fell to the ground.

Seeing the gun pointed at her head again, the giantess slammed on the brakes and stopped in her tracks, her emotionless eyes fixed on the figure floating in the air not far away.

“Miss Annie! In the end, you finally cooperated. Your companions have all turned to us, and even the Marleyan Kingdom you served no longer exists. If you continue to be so stubborn, I will have no choice but to cripple you. As long as you are alive, that's enough.” As she spoke, Nashita Oriha raised the muzzle of her gun, and a blue light suddenly shone on the gun, as if it had been charged up and was ready to unleash a powerful attack at any moment.

“Ani! Surrender! It’s all over. The Marleyan Empire has really surrendered and been incorporated into Eldia. Commander Pisis has already sent a spaceship with personnel to take over the government there,” Allen shouted from the side.

The Female Titan's gaze changed this time. She turned to look at Eren, then looked at Nashita Oriha again.

A moment later, as if resigned to her fate, she lowered the arm that was protecting the back of her neck.

There was nothing she could do but accept her fate. After that impulsive outburst, Ani knew that she couldn't escape it no matter what.

The giantess slowly sat down, bent forward, and her neck muscles wriggled and separated, squeezing out her true form.

Nashita Oriha put away her sniper rifle, flew to Annie's side, landed directly beside her, and patted her on the shoulder.

"Considering you've played this game with me, we won't make things difficult for you. You should be glad you joined us; it's much freer for you than it was for you in Malay."

The airship slowly flew over, and the last female giant was collected.

……

The Wall of Sheena, within the Royal City, in the King's Castle.

In the luxurious living room, Allen, Reiner, Bertholdt, Zeke, Pickfinger, Lara Deba, and Ymir sat on the sofas.

The most serene of them all was Lala Deba, sitting there gracefully like a quiet noblewoman. As expected of someone of noble birth, her upbringing and manners were impeccable.

Unlike the others, who have all revealed their Titan forms to some extent, Lala Daebak has never transformed into a Titan. Therefore, her identity as the Warhammer Titan remains a mystery. Even the Warrior Commander Zeke has never seen her transform. This is because the Daebak family is a privileged class in Marley and the actual controllers of the family. There are few circumstances that require them to reveal their trump cards. Over the years, they have only shown their cards a few times during critical periods of foreign wars.

In the living room, the women around Nashita Oriha and Tantai Ye were also chatting, but they were also more or less observing these giants, and their conversation was obviously centered around them.

Meanwhile, Tantai Ye herself was in an experiment with Ani, with Tomoko, Kenko, and others helping her. As for Muroto Sumire, she had taken all the giant gene samples and run back to the experimental ship, saying she had some inspiration, but Tantai Ye was too lazy to ask what she was doing and let her do whatever she wanted.

Now that the genes of all nine giants have been collected, only the final step of tracing their origins remains.

With the help of the system research page, these fragmented giant genes were pieced together little by little, forming a complete giant gene chain.

Looking at the complex and magnificent gene chain, Yuko sighed in admiration.

"How beautiful! I wonder how powerful a creature with these genes must be!"

"It's called a living organism, but from a logical perspective, it's more accurate to call it a parasite. Besides its extremely strong survival ability, it seems that it can only fully exert its abilities after parasitizing foreign organisms," said Sword Light Princess.

Tantai Ye nodded. "This kind of organism can integrate foreign genes it comes into contact with and modify them to bring out the greatest advantage of those genes."

“This thing shouldn’t be a creature from this planet! Judging from its characteristics, its true form doesn’t seem like something that could be nurtured in this kind of environment,” Yuko said.

“That’s an alien creature. It may have landed on this planet by chance and then been accidentally contacted by humans,” said Sword Light Princess.

Tantai Ye recalled the records in the royal archives that the earliest giant, Ymir, was a strange creature encountered in a deep pool under a large tree hole.
