Chapter 168: Chapter 27: The Secret of the World_2

The giant world is not just the range of three circular walls; it is a vast and fascinating world, a mix of technology and a trace of magic. Based on Su Xiao’s research, the general situation of the giant world is as follows.

A long time ago, on a vast continent (not the location of the walls, but an even broader continent), there were two major countries: the ’Marley Empire’ and the ’Eldian Empire’.

Compared to the ’Marley Empire’, the ’Eldian Empire’ was somewhat weak. The two countries were at war for years over territory, and the ’Eldian Empire’ was on the verge of collapse, facing imminent destruction.

However, one day, a woman named Ymir from the ’Eldian Empire’ happened to acquire a certain power.

This method of acquiring power was later referred to by the Marleyans as signing a contract with the ’Earth Devil’.

Ymir was originally a war orphan, so she resented the Marleyans greatly. After obtaining the power, Ymir committed herself to her homeland, the ’Eldian Empire’, and assisted them in the war.

Indeed, the power Ymir obtained was the Power of the Giant, the most primitive, ancient, and strongest Power of the Giant.

With a body over a hundred meters tall, covered in bone armor, it possessed an unbreakable force and could even alter or erase the memories of nearby humans.

With the involvement of such a terrifying monster in the war, the Marley Empire was utterly defeated. In less than five years, the ’Eldian Empire’ controlled the continent and established an extremely powerful empire.

As the mightiest in the world, Ymir naturally became the queen and the sole ruler of the empire.

Although Queen Ymir possessed immense power, she was still subject to the cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death. On her 117th birthday, Ymir passed away amidst the cries of her children.

On her deathbed, Ymir instructed her nine children to consume her flesh after she died.

Ymir’s children obeyed, and the Progenitor Titan’s Power was divided into nine parts. Ymir’s nine children each acquired one of her abilities, and they named these powers as the Attack Titan, Armor Titan, Female Titan, Colossal Titan, Beast Titan, Jaw Titan, and others among the Nine Titans.

The glory of the ’Eldian Empire’ continued, but Ymir’s children soon discovered a peculiar situation; their lifespan shortened to 13 years upon inheriting the Power of the Giant, exactly as Ymir had lived for 117 years, divided into nine parts equating to 13 years each.

Moreover, the Eldian royal family discovered that only the Eldian people could inherit the Power of the Giant, whereas the Marleyans could not.

This realization concerned the Eldian royal family, prompting them to enslave women of other races, forcing them to bear the bloodline of the Eldian Clan.

The nine types of Giant Power could be passed on by consuming the predecessor. If a predecessor died without being devoured, the power would randomly manifest in a new Eldian infant.

This fact further cemented the ’Eldian Empire’s dominance, ruling the vast continent for as long as 1,700 years.

The Marley Empire had long perished under the crushing force of the Giant Power, yet the Marleyans remained discontent with such rule.

Amidst a millennium of domination, a high-IQ genius emerged from the remaining Marley royal family. This genius realized that direct confrontation could never outmatch the ’Eldian Empire’, but he thought of another method: sowing discord among the Nine Great Giant Families.

An empire nearly two thousand years old had long become corrupt, and through the efforts of several generations of Marleyans, the Nine Great Giant Families turned against each other.

A brutal civil war broke out, and the Marleyans seized this opportunity to capture seven types of Giant Power, almost reclaiming their freedom.

Yet, a formidable obstacle remained before the Marleyans: a giant family within the Nine Great Giant Families was too powerful, possessing the strongest Power of the Giant among the Nine Titans, akin to the Progenitor Titan’s Power. Hence, this power was also known as the Progenitor Titan’s Power, capable of controlling the ’Eldian Clan’ civilians’ awakened Secondary Giants, which closely resembled today’s Mindless Titans.

During the long war, during the 145th succession of the Progenitor Titan, the successor suddenly realized something unknown, leading a group of Eldians away from the continent and settling on an island off its coast.

To prevent the Marleyans from using the Giant Power to attack, the 145th king used his Progenitor Titan’s Power to have numerous thirty to forty-meter giants line up and used their Secondary Hardening Ability to form a circular wall. This is Wall Maria, which was breached at the beginning of the plot.

Then, the 145th king used the same method to build two more walls within Wall Maria, known as Wall Rossa and Wall Sina.

The 145th king became the founding king within the walls and conspired with the Marleyans to eradicate the only resisting giant family. The founding king had his subordinates acquire that family’s Giant Power, capable of altering and erasing human memory.

Under the founding king’s command, the memories of the people within the walls were altered, making them forget the nearby continent and the knowledge and culture of Eldia.

Subsequently, the founding king signed a non-aggression treaty with the newly reborn ’Marley Empire’.

However, one day, the founding king discovered many Mindless Titans outside the walls. The ’Marley Empire’ had begun to unravel the secrets of the Giant, and the Mindless Titans outside were the products of Marley’s experiments.

Upon realizing that the Progenitor Titan’s Power could control these Mindless Titans, the founding king ignored them, as this aligned with his intention to prevent the people within the walls from venturing outside.

Thus, the world within the walls was born, enjoying a century of peaceful life.

However, unbeknownst to the founding king, the distant continent had long suffered from severe resource depletion due to years of war, prompting the Marley Empire to set their sights on this expansive island.

Instead of launching a direct war, the Marley Empire hesitated due to the founding king’s Giant Power, dispatching four spies with Giant Power to infiltrate the walls and sabotage when the opportunity arose. They were:

Annie Leonhart (Female Titan Power), infiltrated the world within the walls at age 13.

Reiner Braun (Armored Titan Power), infiltrated the world within the walls at age 18.

Bertholdt Hoover (Colossal Titan Power), infiltrated the world within the walls at age 17.

Marcel (Jaw Titan Power), deceased, devoured by a Mindless Titan along the way.

When the small group of three reached outside the walls, ’Bertholdt (Super Large Giant)’ kicked down the outer wall’s gate, Reiner Braun (Armor Giant) shattered the inner gate, marking the official start of the giant world’s plot.

Subsequently, the three joined the Training Squad, contemporaneous with the plot protagonist Eren.

Now that Wall of Rossa has been breached, this is the second time the trio has attacked the humans within the walls.
