Starting from pirates and burning the world

"How can you underestimate me so much, Carla?"

"I will kill this giant and rescue you, and repay Dr. Yeager's kindness."

"Besides, the responsibility of garrisoning the corps is not that simple."

Although Hannis has never really gone out to fight, the confidence hidden in his heart is not lacking at all.

Pull out your carefully maintained knife and prepare to fight for what you have been preparing for for decades.

Completely ignoring Mrs. Yeager's dissuasion, who doesn't have a heroic dream? Courage is the beginning of everything.

The wind blew past my ears, and the blood ignited from my heart.

As he ran, Hannis felt that his whole body was full of strength, and the knife in his hand shone with a cold light.

Bravery, responsibility, passion.

Childhood dreams returned.

Even the Hope Stone in his jacket pocket lost its dark color and began to heat up slightly, as if something was about to come out.

until

The more you run, the closer you get.

When the three-dimensional mobile device is about to be launched.

Hannis saw the giant's terrifying height, thick muscles, distorted expression on the disproportionate head, and the naked desire to eat.

I also saw the broken footprints on the solid bluestone road under the opponent's feet, and I also saw the attic that collapsed when the giant's body passed by the houses on both sides.

I even heard howls in the distance and the chewing of flesh and blood.

The blood cooled faster than expected, the sprinting pace stopped uncontrollably, the heart was trembling, the muscles were spasming, and even the three-dimensional mobile device did not know how to use it.

The ignored external sounds re-entered his brain, and now he seemed to hear the sounds of nature,

"Take Eren and the others to escape!! Don't fight!!"

A perfect excuse, a valid reason not to fight, and a suggestion that I am very willing to follow.

He turned around and ran much faster than the speed at which he killed the giant. He picked up the two children and started running wildly. He didn't even use three-dimensional maneuvers, or he forgot to use them.

I'm not afraid, I'm not shrinking, it's just that saving people is important.

Little Allen kept beating himself up. Children don't understand the adult world at all, and they have to make the right choice after weighing the pros and cons.

Just, just.

Time is slowly lengthening, the sound of the heart, the sound of breathing, the sound of feet stepping on the road, and the sound of Allen struggling crazily.

These are all passively transmitted to the ears, but the other sounds are more deadly.

From behind came the sound of the giant approaching, the sound of the giant stopping, the sound of the giant picking at the collapsed house under his feet, the sound of a woman struggling, and the scream of the most primitive fear of mankind.

Every sound was like a dagger stabbing into his heart.

I can no longer lie to myself.

He is a coward.

【Do you regret it? 】

A strange sound appeared in the slowed down time. From just one sentence, Hannis heard endless war, unyielding will, and eternal fire.

Mikasa, who followed the escape, was enduring headaches and heartache, and then water dropped down on her face.

Looking up, the middle-aged man with short blond hair had tears streaming down his face.

This scene was deeply reflected in the eyes of someone in the coordinate space.

In the future, Allen didn't know if it was the first time or the first time he watched this scene.

Using the power of the Ancestral Titan, Bertolt, who had to live at that time, was not killed by the Titan transformed by Dinah, at the cost of his mother.

What does the death of my mother mean?

The ending where everything is doomed is very important to Allen, but it is also very cruel.

I have the ability to save my mother, but I can't.

Giant strength is a curse.

Sorry, Mom.

No one can change all this, and no one can allow others to change all this. The world will be peaceful and the giant will disappear.

Such is the horror of closed time loops.

But what is this red mist that suddenly appears over fate?

squeak~~~~

The metal-encrusted boots rubbed a long scratch on the stone pavement.

Hannes had a complicated expression after putting down his two children.

In other words, the remaining panic, tears, and twitching facial muscles all showed how reluctant he was.

but

"I will regret it."

Hannis put Allen down and brought him down with one move.

The two looked at each other.

The anger in Allen's eyes suddenly stopped, because he saw the fear and anger in Uncle Hannis's eyes intertwining crazily.

"Listen Alan, without strength, you are powerless against giants."

"So, I'm going to save people!!!"

Click! ! !

A small change occurs, maybe the change of a garrison corps squad leader has no impact on the overall situation, but it changes.

Allen's eyes widened in the coordinate space.

"No, that's impossible!"

Hannis's choice exceeded his expectations, and then he calmed down.

“The future is destined, and changes in the past will only continue to lead to the same ending.”

Allen knew that Hannes had no power to save his mother from Dinah Fritz.

And even if he is saved, he will still embark on the path of the Survey Corps, and he will also make it his mission to kill all the giants.

This variable is not something to be afraid of

But he still watched seriously, watching the middle-aged man rush back like crazy, even using a three-dimensional mobile device to accelerate to his death.

Hannis knew he was finished when the knife struck the giant's wrist with no effect.

The giant's skin had unimaginable toughness, and a big hand swatted Hannis away as if afraid of flies.

The blood mist exploded, and the human figure fell into the wall next to it.

Eren and Mikasa in the distance were also silent. This is a giant.

Allen was right in thinking about the future. A small variable was insignificant in the destined fate.

Among the ruins, Hannis also knew that his choice had produced results.

Everywhere in his body hurts, he suffered numerous fractures, and his internal organs were shattered. It is a miracle that he is still alive now.

The black stone on his chest fell from the broken military uniform to his hand.

【Do you regret it? 】

"Regret. But not regret."

Facing the end of death, Hannis even felt lucky that he had finally fulfilled his responsibility as a soldier in the corps.

It also brings an end to the bravery of childhood.

Because of his own provocation, the giant did not swallow Mrs. Yeager immediately, but placed the huge head in front of him.

He laughed out loud at the ugly giant with its gleaming teeth.

"Are you going to use me... to satisfy your appetite? I'm somewhat unwilling to do so."

At this time, a thought came into Hannis's mind.

He looked at the stone at hand with some happiness.

"It turns out you were really the one asking me just now."

"Yes, no matter who you are, as long as you can kill the giant, take whatever you want!!"

"Even if it's just a fantasy, I'm not afraid anymore."

Using his last bit of strength, the middle-aged man grasped hope in front of the giant.

He raised one hand high and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"NOAH!!!!!!"

Red lightning struck the ground, and a new giant appeared.
