## Chapter 981: The God of Destruction Descends Upon the Underworld!
Eren Yeager.
Deceived by Ymir during his lifetime, he mistakenly believed that the World Government would bring death and suffering to the Eldians.
For this, he gave his all, uniting the various nations and powers of the Titan world to form an extremely massive army to resist the World Government's invasion.
At the same time, through a series of schemes, he successfully devoured the hosts of other Titan Shifters, making himself the unprecedented 'Nine Titans Combined' Ultimate Titan.
At that time, Eren held the mindset that since he was bound to be defeated and enslaved anyway, he might as well go all out and deliver a heavy blow to the other side, doing his utmost to cause the World Government a great deal of trouble.
As a result, he succeeded.
It was only when Eren finally came to understand that all of this was a deceitful ploy born from Ymir's willfulness, and that the sacrifice of nearly ten million soldiers and the subsequent suffering of the entire Eldian people were also the product of his own actions, that his mindset completely collapsed.
In fact, without Historia's years of effort and struggle.
The Eldians on Paradis Island should still be living in large buildings like concentration camps, eating the most basic food.
Every day would be spent either mining Ice Burst Stone or planting and cutting Black Gold Bamboo, along with various other miscellaneous forms of forced labor.
This situation would have lasted for at least twenty years.
And during this process, their children would also be unable to receive normal education.
It's easy to imagine how miserable this race would be twenty years down the line if things developed that way.
This was also what made Eren feel the most fear and anger.
However, no matter how angry he was, he was truly powerless before Ymir.
He could only carry his heart full of unwillingness, and with a casual wave from the latter, transform into white sandstorm and merge with the Coordinate Space.
In a sense, Ymir could indeed be called the 'God' of the Eldians.
And now, the reason Eren has transformed and appeared on this battlefield as an Underworld Army Admiral.
It is mainly because Yama has too few usable people under her command.
When she heard that Eren was some kind of 'Ultimate Titan', she naturally became curious.
After understanding the cause and effect, Yama specifically asked Im if she could use Eren.
Im thought about it at the time and didn't object.
After all, Eren had already died once, which could be considered paying the price for his actions during his lifetime. There was really no need to keep dwelling on it, especially since Yama wanted Eren to work for the World Government.
Thus, after Yama returned, she immediately issued an order for Ymir to summon Eren's soul.
Ymir had no opinion on this either and obediently complied.
And Eren, who already knew all the truth, although his mood was complex, no longer held hostility towards the World Government.
Instead, he focused all his hatred, disgust, and rage onto Ymir, who had deceived him.
Ymir didn't care about this at all.
To put it bluntly, what else could Eren do besides glare at her?
The so-called Ultimate Titan was insignificant before her.
Eren himself was very clear about this principle.
So he could only force himself to shift his attention to other things.
For example, practicing martial arts, Haki, and improving his strength.
At the same time, he served as the commander of the Titan Legion under Yama's command, conquering the Underworld for the World Government.
Consider it atonement for his actions during his lifetime.
Also, he looked forward to the future day when he could see Mikasa again.
He heard she was doing quite well now.
To be honest.
These so-called Underworld generals/officers, according to the World Government's Three Military Branches standard, their military rank and strength do not match.
But Yama has no one under her command, so she can only use them for now.
Once she successfully becomes the Lord of the Underworld of this world and takes over everything from the Yama King, the situation might improve.
Along the vast banks of the Underworld River.
Dense masses of countless Giants and armored, blade-wielding skeletons clashed in battle.
Every moment, large numbers of Giants fell or skeletons were smashed to pieces.
However, there was no blood flowing like a river here, no roaring battle cry, no painful wails.
Only wave after wave of rumble and the cracking sound of bones being crushed.
However.
The overall battle situation was gradually tilting towards the Giants.
These Pure Titans, relying on their ability to quickly recover and regenerate even with severed heads or limbs unless their nape was cut open and the host's main body killed, held a complete advantage in this large-scale battlefield.
The only problem was that they acted purely on instinct.
Fortunately, Eren possessed the ability of the Founder Titan, allowing him to control the operations of the Pure Titans over a large range.
Thus, there wouldn't be a situation where Giants would stray from the battlefield and run wild while fighting.
At the same time.
Following Eren's order, the figures of the past Titan Shifters appeared one after another across the battlefield.
[Boom boom boom boom!]
It must be said, the scene of these Titan Shifters transforming was indeed spectacular.
They only needed to use the dagger they carried, cut a bloody wound on their palm, or forcefully bite their finger, and a large amount of golden lightning and dazzling radiance would burst forth from their body.
The next second, giant figures of various forms would make a brilliant appearance amidst the surging heatwave.
The Armored Titans, led by Reiner Braun, began to rampage through the 'Sea of Skeletons' spread across the mountains and plains.
The Beast Titans, possessing various animal characteristics, raged like awakened Animal-Type Ability Users.
The War Hammer Titans manufactured the cold weapons they were most skilled at and fought fiercely with the black-robed Shinigami attacking from the high altitude.
Pure white blades, spears, swords, and halberds intersected with pitch-black giant scythes, and the clanging sound, accompanied by brilliant sparks, was incessant.
At this moment.
The five Colossal Titan Hosts, led by Bertholdt Hoover, finally flew to a certain height using Moonwalk and dispersed a certain distance from each other based on the distribution of the battlefield below.
The next second.
The five exchanged glances across the air.
Immediately, they all stopped their Moonwalk movements, allowing their bodies to begin freefall.
The dry, hot gale blew their purple Justice Cloaks, making them rustle loudly.
Until they were about two hundred meters from the ground.
The five bit their palms forcefully without hesitation.
Immediately, blood splattered, severe pain stimulated their brains, and a strong Titanization Will rapidly burst forth.
[Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle...]
Without any accident, golden lightning bloomed.
However, both the scale and the dazzling degree of the radiance far surpassed those of the other Titan Hosts before.
At this moment, countless skeleton warriors, Shinigami, and even the Giants on Eren's side, subconsciously looked up towards the high altitude.
[Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!]
The ultimate white light instantly covered all colors on the battlefield.
The surging high-temperature steam transformed into an overwhelming heatwave that swept in all directions.
In an instant, hundreds of thousands of the great army of skeletons were reduced to ashes under the five great explosions.
When all the commotion subsided, when all the radiance dissipated.
On the earth along the ink-black banks of the Underworld River, five scorched earth pits with flowing magma appeared.
At the same time.
Giant figures with reddish body surfaces, exposed muscles, and steam swirling all over their bodies stood tall in the center of the pits, overlooking their surroundings, constantly emitting the powerful aura known as the 'God of Destruction'.
Not long after.
The 'Enma Army' stationed here completely collapsed.
Eren Yeager led the mighty fleet, driving straight along the Underworld River.
The Five-Circle Cross Flag representing the World Government was getting closer and closer to Enma Castle.
