Provoking a World War
Tang An's time in the "Path" world was just a moment in reality.
He maintained the posture of swallowing the war hammer Titan, with the only change being his eye pupils.
Even though he retained the body of the Armor Titan, Tang An's eyes had purple diamond-patterned pupils.
In fact, every royal family inheriting the power of the Founding Titan within the Walls would have eyes like these.
"Sister."
Willy cried bitterly in the distant ruins.
"Shoo..."
A bullet, 30 centimeters long, shot and hit Tang An's neck from behind. Marleyan soldiers appeared from all directions.
Various weapons against Tang An were brought forward, completely surrounding Tang An.
These weapons weren't like the cannons in the world inside the Walls; they were designed to truly harm Titans.
Meanwhile, airships approached from above, armed with heavy machine guns, sniper rifles, and grenade launchers.
"Lord Willy, what's going on? Isn't Reiner the current inheritor of the Armor Titan?"
A colonel helped Willy up, looking at Tang An with some fear.
"He's not Reiner Braun. This man has devoured all nine Titans."
Willy's words were shocking.
"What, all nine Titans..."
"He's the enemy. Open fire."
Willy roared angrily; he was determined to kill this man.
"Fire!"
As the colonel gave the order, various firearms around began a fierce bombardment. Tang An hardened his entire body, and with a thought, spikes of hardened material emerged from the ground, turning the area into a hellish scene accompanied by screams.
In the midst of rolling dust and smoke, Tang An violently leaped out, wielding a 50-meter hardened spear, sweeping through everything in his path, and shattering both buildings and people.
Willy, without even a scream, disappeared into a rain of blood after being hit.
Having absorbed Ymir's soul, Tang An could now freely use the powers of the Nine Titans and, at this moment, the power of the War Hammer Titan came into play.
Having weapons and not having them made a world of difference.
Tang An rampaged through, targeting Marley's government headquarters.
He intended to smash it and take the opportunity to leave. Now he had a lot of memories to sort through in his mind.
"Not good!"
"Which direction?"
"Stop him."
Facing numerous attacks, Tang An's hardened body was like an impregnable fortress. He swung the 50-meter-long spear while rampaging freely.
Wherever he went, the earth trembled, and countless residents met unfortunate ends.
At this moment, Marley's government headquarters saw many high officials in a hurried retreat, having obviously received the news.
"Not good, it's too late."
Frightened-looking officials stared at the Armor Titan breaking through a building and the sweeping spear. Before they could even scream, they turned into minced flesh.
After several consecutive sweeps, the entire Marleyan government headquarters became a ruin. Blood splattered everywhere, and body parts, along with internal organs, were scattered on the buildings.
Then, Tang An shifted direction towards the town center, and a large amount of high-temperature steam obscured the vision.
In just a few seconds, the entire town center, filled with cries and screams, was engulfed in steam.
About half an hour later, as all the steam dissipated, only a dissolving corpse remained in the central area, with even the skeleton beginning to evaporate.
"The real body escaped."
Arriving Marleyan troops, looking at the skeletal remains, all carried a mix feelings of fear and anger.
"Isn't Reiner Braun the current inheritor of the Armor Titan? Why is he doing this?"
"Commander, Willy Tybur said before he died that Reiner Braun is already dead, and someone else took the power of the Armor Titan."
"Who is this person? Has anyone seen him?"
"All the members of the Braun family are dead; no one has seen him."
"Damn it, find out everything. Don't leave any clues untouched."
"Yes!"
It could be anticipated that the entire Marleyan Empire was in chaos, especially with the loss of so many high-ranking officials; the political system might have collapsed.
More importantly, Marley's enemy nations, upon receiving this information, would likely launch a massive attack.
Meanwhile, the culprit responsible for all this was now back at the hotel.
Tang An stood in the bathroom, looking at the reflection of his eyes in the mirror, frowning imperceptibly.
These eyes were too conspicuous.
Like a purple diamond, with a lavender pattern at the center, dazzling like the brilliance of the night sky.
Such eyes didn't match Tang An's low-key style.
Too eye-catching.
Because generally, those who were too conspicuous died quickly and miserably.
Unless they were exceptionally powerful or had plot armor.
"First, organize the memories in my mind and see if I can recover."
Leaving the bathroom, Tang An sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and began organizing the memories he obtained from Ymir.
And the memories of all the previous hosts of the Nine Titans.
A night passed without words, and at dawn the next day, Tang An opened his eyes somewhat tired.
The purple diamond-patterned eyes hadn't changed, but they were now filled with various colors of sadness, pain, and the weariness of ages.
That night, Tang An felt like he was watching a movie, starting from 2000 years ago to the present.
However, Tang An deleted 99.9% of the memories; having too many memories wasn't a good thing.
In any case, Tang An now wielded the powers of all the Titans and could control all mindless Titans in the world, including the colossal Titans within the Maria Wall, Rose Wall, and Sheena Wall.
He could also modify the memories and bloodline genes of all Eldians.
In other words, Tang An replaced Ymir as the Founding Titan and the Eldians became Tang An's descendants.
If Tang An wished, he could easily destroy the world now; just release the colossal Titans from the three walls.
Simultaneously, Tang An's spirit could freely enter and exit the "Path" world, allowing him to converse with all Eldians through this world.
Previously, as long as Ymir swallowed him, she could replace Tang An and be reborn.
Like soul possession.
Fortunately, VIP luck wasn't just for show; it was fortunate to draw such a bizarre consumable as the Soul Devouring item just in time. Otherwise, Tang An would be in trouble.
However, there was a coincidence; Tang An had just drawn the Soul Devouring item at one point, and the other point used it on Ymir.
Moreover, Tang An speculated that the next world was likely Demon Slayer, or maybe Dragon Ball, or even One Piece.
This was deduced from the Senzu Bean, Thunder Breathing, and Moon Step.
But how should he traverse?
Now that he had killed the Child of Destiny and the Reincarnator, there was no sign of a Random Travel. Wouldn't he be stuck in this world forever?
Tang An didn't believe that the dice rewarded by the natural month had a chance to draw a Random Travel; after all, the probability was too low.
Apart from that, why was there no reaction when he killed Ymir?
She is a character integral to the entire main storyline; without Ymir, this story wouldn't exist.
But now, the golden finger shows no sign of change.
Tang An is full of suspicions and wild thoughts, resembling someone with paranoid delusions.
The entire Marley Empire, and even the whole world, has started to fall into chaos.
Throughout the night, the enemy nations of the Marley Empire obtained a lot of information through their natural investigations.
For example, the losses suffered by the high-ranking officials of the Marley Empire are severe, the entire system is almost paralyzed, and they have lost the power of the Titans.
Now is the time to take advantage of the situation.
Especially the Middle East United Nations, they have already begun deploying troops.
Due to Tang An's influence, all the main characters, whether righteous or villainous, have fallen prematurely. Now, there is a possibility of triggering a world war.
Just as Zhou Wei said, Tang An is the Dark one.
A virus of the multiverse.
And what is the role of a virus?
It is to destroy!
But destruction also means Creation!!
