43: Ice Blast Stone, the Ackerman race, the true wings of freedom, the Founding Titan uprising!

The Earth Devil was born.

Ymir's arrival wasn't far off either.

But Su Bai didn't breathe a sigh of relief.

Instead, his gaze gradually grew solemn.

He sensed it.

Perhaps, replacing the Grauvellian Worm with Hydra would lead to some unexpected events...

[Early Second Era.]

[The Earth Devil is born! Hydra and the tree of life coexist, relying on the miniature spirit veins underground, their strength quickly breaks through to Silver Rank!]

[At the same time.]

[In a region not far from here.]

[The Eldian Tribe began a hunt. During this hunt, they attacked a settlement, killed everyone, and brought back a little girl.]

[This little girl was the later Founding Titan Ymir.]

[Historical node born, creation points +100]

[Founding Titan Ymir appears. All her relatives are killed. Fritz leads the Eldian Tribe, becoming a fearful shadow in Ymir's heart.]

[During an accident, the pig keeper was negligent, causing a pig to break through the fence and escape.]

[Fritz was furious and ordered one eye to be gouged out of all the slaves.]

[In fear and panic, the slaves chose to push Ymir forward as a scapegoat.]

[Ymir was exiled.]

[Fritz ordered her to compensate for the tribe's losses, hunting Ymir like prey. During her escape, Ymir unexpectedly arrived at a primeval forest, and within it, she saw an immeasurably vast giant tree!]

[Its height was indescribable; the entire giant tree seemed to pierce the clouds, standing tall upon the earth. Surrounded by mist, it exuded a terrifying pressure that made Ymir feel dread!]

[It was as if... the giant tree before her was an existence absolutely superior to her!]

[Milestone event occurs – Ymir encounters the tree of life, creation points +300]

[Talent 'Special Ore Vein' activated!]

[Prolonged occupation caused the spiritual energy of the miniature spirit veins to spread, affecting several surrounding ore veins. Among them, a new resource was nurtured.]

[It is named 'explosive stone'. It can glow and burn. At the same time, due to the interference of spiritual energy, the explosive stone changed from its original form.]

[If detonated, it can generate a strong air pressure, allowing the human body to fly briefly!]

“So this is how the most unique mineral on Paradis Island in the original work was formed?”

Su Bai looked at this information.

He pondered.

In his opinion, the explosive stone's use was far more than what was shown in the original work.

And it seemed,

The existence of miniature spirit veins caused the explosive stone to transform, allowing it to be actively detonated and achieve a short period of high-altitude flight.

This solved the limitation of the Omni-directional Mobility Gear in the original work regarding target grappling.

It could operate on plains without buildings or trees!

Furthermore,

Su Bai scrolled through the simulator, adjusting the record to previous information. Among them, the birth information of the Ackerman Clan was heavily marked by him.

The genetic bloodline of the New Human Race, from which the Ackerman Clan evolved... the so-called strength beyond human limits,

Was not just empty talk.

The only three Ackermans remaining in the original work—Mikasa, the Captain, and Kenny who used dual guns—had already reached the Bronze rank level in terms of skill alone!

Their only limitation was their equipment.

But what if the original Omni-directional Mobility Gear was replaced with this new explosive stone?

Going a step further,

What if the Ackerman Clan, which only had three members, expanded to ten, a hundred, a thousand... or even one day, to a scale of tens of thousands?

Such a Survey Corps,

Perhaps,

Could truly be called the Wings of Freedom!

...The simulator continued:

[Perhaps it was not her destiny to die. In her terror, Ymir accidentally stumbled and ultimately fell into a tree hole of the tree of life, plummeting into a lake. At the moment her life was about to end.]

[Light appeared.]

[Ymir watched in horror as a peculiar creature with nine heads swam towards her.]

[Perhaps it was an instant, or perhaps it was an eternity.]

[When Ymir awoke again, Hydra had already merged with her. A Titan bloodline hidden within Hydra's body extended into Ymir's physique!]

[Roar—]

[On the desolate land, a deafening roar echoed. A monster over a hundred meters tall, fully armored, and with cold eyes, was born!]

[Silver Rank creature 'Founding Titan' born!]

[creation points +600]

“No!”

Su Bai suddenly stood up.

The simulator wouldn't lie. The world template of Attack on Titan should have the possibility of giving birth to Gold-tier Creatures.

But why,

Was the born Founding Titan only at the Silver Rank level?

Was something missing?

Su Bai fell into contemplation.

At the same time,

The situation in the simulator was also rapidly changing.

The original continental structure was broken. The appearance of the Founding Titan became a nightmare for all life in this world!

[Mid-Second Era, Founding Titan born!]

[Outside, in Terra Calendar Year 121, the Giant Continent underwent drastic changes. The ocean was turbulent, raising towering tsunamis hundreds of feet high! Alien Island and Biochemical Continent simultaneously detected the changes!]

[The three Silver Rank leaders, sensing the birth of a new Silver Rank life form, led the Holy Terra Sect. Alice, hidden on the Giant Continent, even felt a strange sense of dread.]

[She had a premonition that the end of this world was coming.]

[She was right.]

[The tree of life and Hydra coexisted. The combined life mass of the two was far beyond what an ordinary Ymir could withstand.]

[At the moment Hydra fused with Ymir, the surging sea-like life energy completely destroyed her consciousness. The Founding Titan was born, but Ymir's consciousness had already perished!]

[The uncontrolled Founding Titan rampaged, standing on the vast land and roaring.]

[The Eldian warriors responsible for hunting Ymir immediately fled in panic upon seeing the Founding Titan, but it was useless. The Founding Titan moved slowly, its mountain-like colossal body was an invincible existence in this era!]

[The other three Silver Rank life forms, obeying the will of Sacred Terra, did not interfere with the operation of this continent.]

[The continental structure shattered, the Eldian Tribe was destroyed! Fritz was trampled into a pulp by the Founding Titan, his original wool unrecognizable!]

[The warring nations ceased hostilities and jointly resisted the threat of the Founding Titan.]

[However, with their weapons, which had not even produced gunpowder, they could not threaten the Founding Titan. High-temperature steam gushed out, and the Founding Titan's advance was irresistible!]

[On the first day, hundreds of tribes, large and small, were destroyed, all without exception, completely devoured!]

[On the second day, among the nations, all except Marley were annihilated!]

...[On the seventh day, the world's most powerful ancient nation, humanity's last force capable of resisting the Titans, Marley, was destroyed!]

[From then on, humanity no longer had the power to deal with the Titans!]

[The few remaining humans began to flee, trying to escape this apocalyptic era.]

[However, no matter where they fled, they could not escape the influence of the Founding Titan. Ultimately, all humans on the entire Giant Continent were devoured!]

[Driven by hunger, the Founding Titan crossed the sea and headed for the Biochemical Continent!]

[The colossal Founding Titan had already affected the safety of the entire Origin Realm. The three Silver Rank leaders, after praying to Sacred Terra, finally chose to act!]

[After thirteen days, the Founding Titan was successfully eliminated!]

[The price, however, was the destruction of the Giant Continent, and the other Three Great Civilizations also suffered heavy losses!]

[This creation simulation has ended.]

[Total survival: two eras, Cooldown: 20 minutes]
