Chapter 162: Chapter 22: Cruel World

Eren’s transformation into a giant was successful, but the beastly roar he emitted indicated he hadn’t regained his senses.

"What does this bastard want to do?"

Mikasa pressed one hand to her chest and struggled to stand up, feeling a slight swelling in half her body.

"I don’t... I don’t know."

Armin’s body trembled, having brushed shoulders with death just moments ago.

"Are all members of the Survey Corps this crazy? He really intended to kill us earlier. We must report to the military tribunal after the battle."

Mikasa glared angrily at Su Xiao, but now was not the time to hold grudges; everyone could see Eren hadn’t regained his senses.

The ’Three-Dimensional Maneuver Gear’’s hook lock shot out, and Su Xiao secured the hook to Eren’s nape. Gas sprayed from his waist, swiftly bringing him to Eren’s nape.

Perhaps sensing something on his nape, Eren’s giant hand slapped toward it without hesitation.

Slap!

A gust of air spread outward, causing Eren to stagger forward a few steps from his own strike.

Su Xiao stood on Eren’s shoulder; if he had been hit by that slap, he would surely have been reduced to a pulp.

The giant’s speed and defensive power were not exceptionally strong, but its power was abnormally immense.

A precision metal eyeball appeared in Su Xiao’s hand, floating beside him. It was a reconnaissance equipment he had bought for 5,000 Paradise coins.

The Eye of Havana floated in mid-air, emitting a red glow, enveloping Eren and conducting a scan.

...

After reviewing Eren’s data, Su Xiao’s eyelid twitched. Not only did Eren possess an alarming 40 point Power attribute, but his ’Child of Qi Luck’ state was particularly ruthless.

Though Eren is currently the protagonist of the story, upon his death, a new protagonist will immediately emerge. The luck of this world doesn’t lie with Eren but with the two types of Power of Giants within him.

This might be what is meant by the heavenly law being indifferent, regarding all things as straw dogs. For now, Eren is that straw dog; a deceased protagonist holds no value, and the Giant world will soon generate a new protagonist. There’s no such thing as avenging Eren.

The dead are just losers, without any value.

At this moment, Su Xiao recalled Blood Rose and Chen’s actions; they seemed to have no intent to kill Eren, but rather wanted to communicate with him.

This was quite unusual. In a Derivative World, hunting down the protagonist typically offers many benefits, but Eren appeared to be an exception.

The previous world with Kaneki Ken was bizarre enough, and now there’s an even stranger case—a ’protagonist’ that can’t be killed.

Or perhaps Eren isn’t the protagonist at all; the protagonist is the dual Power of Giants within Eren, or it is the Progenitor Titan’s Power.

Thinking about this possibility, Su Xiao furrowed his brows; he was considering whether to kill Eren later and observe any changes.

But for now, Eren cannot die; he has yet to lift that giant boulder.

Su Xiao dodged several of Eren’s attacks, noticing a clear decrease in the frequency of Eren’s attacks.

Su Xiao had been leaping around near Eren’s head. Within less than a minute, Eren’s flurry of punches had blinded one of his eyes.

The giant Eren transformed into was starting to stumble, and Su Xiao took the opportunity to jump to Eren’s nape.

In the original story, it was Armin who awakened Eren, speaking at length in his nape about soul-stirring sentiments. Su Xiao didn’t possess such eloquence, and he had no such leisure.

Gripping Dragon Slash with one hand, Su Xiao drew a blue halo from the blade, characteristic of a Blue weapon.

The long knife slashed through skin and flesh, slicing off a large portion of Eren’s nape.

Su Xiao examined the depth, realizing there was still some distance to Eren’s true body, so he delivered another slash.

Whoosh.

A chunk of thick flesh hit the ground, evaporating into steam; Su Xiao had severed a third of the muscle from Eren’s nape.

By now, Su Xiao could see Eren’s real body. Securing the ’Three-Dimensional Maneuver Gear’’s hook lock next to Eren’s true body, Su Xiao’s body was pulled over by the recoil.

At this moment, Eren’s eyes were blank, with most of his body encased in muscle.

Su Xiao grabbed Eren’s head, pulling off the muscle from it.

"Hey, wake up."

Su Xiao slapped Eren’s face, the giant Eren had transformed into remained motionless.

Mikasa and Armin, from a distance on the roof, were stunned, seeing Eren directly pulled out from his giant form, this~.

Upon Su Xiao’s touch, Eren’s pupils quivered, hinting at a struggle to regain consciousness.

Seeing this development, Su Xiao was encouraged, there was hope, so he threw a punch at Eren.

"Ugh~."

Eren grunted, blood streaming from his nose, his pupils beginning to gleam.

"Awake now?"

"I... I think so."

Eren panted heavily, seeing Armin in the distance momentarily relieved him, realizing it was all an act earlier; he almost believed it to be real.

In reality, it was indeed real~.

"Continue your task."

After waking Eren, Su Xiao immediately left the giant’s nape, leaping to a nearby rooftop.

Eren eyed the giant boulder; he felt he could now control the body of the giant beneath him.

Taking a deep breath, the giant’s muscles gradually wrapped around Eren, but this time, his eyes sparkled with clarity.

Eren first acquainted himself with the current feeling, taking a couple of steps in giant form, and clenching his fists.

The swelling power within his body took Eren by surprise—he had never been this powerful.

Striding to the giant boulder, Eren embraced it with both hands.

"Roar!!"

Eren let out a loud roar and lifted the boulder, resting it on his shoulder.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

With each step Eren took, the ground trembled within a hundred meters nearby, as sparks flew from the giant’s body. His entire body turned black and yellow as if about to gasify at any moment, the boulder seemingly exceeding Eren’s limit.

Taking out a flare gun, Su Xiao fired it into the sky, the yellow-smoke signal flare erupting.

The plan succeeded ninety percent.
