"It's a bit windy today!" Yuko said casually, smoothing her hair.

"The only downside here is that it's always windy, and it gets really cold up here. Maybe we should add a protective barrier to the Divine Court later!"

"No, I'd rather not..." Yuko thought for a moment and shook her head. "Without any breeze, it would feel a bit stuffy. This way, the air is fresh, and a little breeze makes it feel more refreshing and open!"

Tantai Ye didn't say anything, but stroked her jade-like hand that was holding his.

Just as the two turned a corner past a flower bed, a girl with black braids jogged in from the other side of the garden entrance.

"Your Holiness, Your Majesty, Commander Pisis has sent a telegram: our men have found the large tree hollow; there's a biological reaction down there..."

The girl with black braids is Mina from back then. Now she has inherited the power of the Chariot Giant and is also an elite of the Divine Court.

Upon hearing her report, Tantai Ye raised an eyebrow, a hint of joy appearing in his eyes.

Almost three months have passed, and several waves of elites have come and gone in the meantime. Keep in mind that this is a continent covering most of the planet, and even with the help of radar, it is still very time-consuming and labor-intensive.

But we've finally found it.

"Where is it? The exact location... never mind, I'll go check it out. Have you notified the sect leader and the divine messenger yet?"

“Mikasa and Annie have already received their notifications!” Mina nodded.

Tantai Ye didn't say anything more and walked out of the garden with Youzi. When the two arrived at the place where the airship was moored, the airship was ready to leave the port at any time.

As soon as Tantai Ye boarded the spaceship, she heard Jiu Xiaoye and Nashita Oriha calling out from behind. Yumiko and two others followed quickly behind them, boarding the ship without asking any questions. They had obviously received a message and were going to come along.

The airship landed at the King's Castle below. In front of the square, the Holy Emperor, Kisaragi, Tifa, Natsume, Tina and others were already waiting there, while Mikasa and Annie stood to the side. Obviously, they knew that Tantai Ye was coming down after the message was delivered.

They boarded the airship and took off directly into the sky. Mina, who had followed them aboard, came to Mikasa and Annie's side. All three of them were now Titans; Mikasa, like Annie, had inherited the Female Titan.

Inheriting a Titan isn't something you can just do arbitrarily; it depends on each person's genetic makeup. You have to choose the most suitable one to inherit from in order to maximize the Titan's power.

Take Mikasa, for example. Her transformed Female Titan is far more powerful than the veteran Annie, and even Zeke's Beast Titan form can't defeat her. The power and combat strength that the Female Titan unleashes in Mikasa's hands is far more than just the sum of its parts. Her body crystallization alone is more exaggerated than that of the Armored Titan, and she can even crystallize sharp blades from her hands, elbows, and other parts of her body, comparable to the crystallized weapons of the Warhammer Titan. Coupled with her innate fighting talent, any Titan who faces her would suffer a great loss if they weren't careful.

anyway.

Following the marked location, the flying boat arrived at a remote mountain forest on the mainland in less than half a day.

The altitude here is over 3,000 meters, which is considered a plateau area. There are continuous mountains around, but this is a depression. For miles around, it can be said that no one ever goes there. In the center of the depression, there is a huge ancient tree that stands straight and tall.

Looking around, the forest is lush, but you can still see through the gaps that beneath this forest was once a dead forest, with many withered and decaying trees scattered in a reflective pattern, on which the current forest grew.

"A meteorite must have fallen here before, and that's how this depression was formed!" Tantai Ye said in a low voice, looking at the terrain below.

“That further proves that the creature is from elsewhere; perhaps it came from that meteorite,” Yuko said from the side.

"I'm just curious, how did that first female slave girl named Ymir, who turned into a giant, end up here?" Jiu Xiaoye asked curiously from the side.

"Escaping pursuers, they fled in panic... No matter how they got here, it must be related to this place," Sword Light Princess laughed.

As the airship appeared in the air above the low-lying area, a figure flew up from the ancient tree in the distance—it was a soldier waiting there.

He came directly to report the findings, and the radar he carried issued an alarm, showing that the same energy resonance was indeed coming from below.

The airship landed in front of the ancient tree.

“I’ll go down and take a look!” Nashita Oriha volunteered.

"No!" Tantai Ye interrupted directly. He had already scanned the area and found a vast underground cavern and a deep pool under the withered tree. He had only done a quick scan and had not found the alien creature, so he naturally did not want Zhiye to take the risk.

"You guys wait here, Tomoko and I will go down and take a look."

As Tantai Ye spoke, he and Youzi floated up, then floated into a huge tree hole without their feet touching the ground, and then into a dark, vertical shaft-like underground cave.

Without hesitation, the two landed directly.

Two white lights appeared in front of and behind Tantai Ye to provide illumination.

Arriving in the open underground space, the air was thick with moisture. Directly below was a deep pool. Although the surface was calm, Tantai Ye could feel a slight flow of water deep inside, which was clearly connected to an underground river.

"Huh! There's something down there. It's not a living thing, but it looks like some kind of strange metallic ore!" Yuko suddenly exclaimed. She had just scanned the area with her divine sense and discovered something unusual in a recessed section of the rock wall in the deep pool.

Tantai Ye nodded; he had naturally sensed it.

He reached out his hand towards the pool. After a short while, the pool water churned slightly, and the next moment, a black, irregularly shaped metal object the size of a water vat emerged from the surface and slowly floated into the air.

Looking at the black metal in front of me, with its many holes and traces of melting in many places, it was clear that it was originally a meteorite. Under the friction and high temperature, the rocky part had vaporized, leaving this metal that had clumped together and fallen here.

The metal emitted noticeable radiation waves, but these had no effect on Tantai Ye and Youzi.

Just then, a long white worm emerged from a hole in the black metal...

The "long worm" here is not a snake, but a worm that looks a bit like a millipede or centipede. It is a full meter long and as thick as a child's arm. Its body is also segmented, but unlike a centipede or millipede, it has irregular protrusions and depressions like a human spine. At first glance, it looks like a wriggling vertebra. Its legs are also long, making it look more like a spider.

As soon as the long worm appeared, Tantai Ye immediately sensed the unique energy resonance emanating from its body.

"That's it!"
