Because Bertolt was devoured by the Filth Titan controlled by Zeke.
The one who inherited the Colossal Titan also inherited Bertolt's memories.
The arrival of Su Bai and the others was indeed accurate.
But in Zeke's eyes, these memories were very likely to be a result of Eldia people using some kind of brainwashing to confuse the three's senses.
Causing dream-like illusory scenes to appear in their minds.
Just like Annie's betrayal, Bertolt's betrayal...
How could excellent Marley soldiers betray?
Especially Reiner, his mental breakdown was mostly due to trauma during the brainwashing process.
"Eren Yeager..."
"If you truly exist within the walls..."
Zeke paused, his gaze becoming incredibly firm: "Big brother will definitely rescue you from the hands of the devil."
"Tell you the whole truth, we were all deceived by father."
Roar!
A giant roar startled Zeke from his thoughts.
He withdrew his gaze from the wall and focused on the Female Titan.
The Female Titan suddenly exerted force, swinging her arms to shake off several Filth Titans.
"An... Annie..."
Inside the Armored Titan, Reiner looked at the scarred Female Titan with terror.
"So that's it, she hasn't given up on a chance to survive?"
"How boring, Annie..."
Zeke frowned slightly.
The Female Titan rising again truly surprised him.
Unfortunately, the Female Titan kneeling again on the ground was enough to show that her previous action was Annie's last bit of strength.
"Still struggling, Annie...?"
"Save some strength, and reflect on the meaning of life; it's better than powerless struggling."
However, just as Zeke was about to personally transform into a Titan to pull Annie out...
The ground suddenly trembled.
The next second, like a volcanic eruption.
The ground beneath Annie's feet suddenly spewed a fiery red pillar of fire, like lava erupting.
The surrounding Filth Titans, who were still trying to pounce on her, instantly turned to ashes.
"If you are truly a god."
"Please help me, let me live."
"For this, I am willing to offer you everything I have."
"..."
"This is!"
Zeke's eyeballs nearly popped out of her sockets.
How did flames erupt from the ground out of nowhere?
"What is going on!"
...
Chapter 32: Annie, you're blushing
[Viewing Chat Room]
Amber: "Did Annie get Su Bai's approval at the critical moment? Is this when she obtained a Vision?"
Keqing: "That red glass bead should be a Pyro Vision."
Eula: "When the ground spewed fire, I thought the Pyro God Phinnemos of Natlan had come to help, but it turned out to be the arrival of a Vision."
Venti: "Wow! Why is the scene of her obtaining a Vision different from Historia's?"
Hu Tao: "The scene was too spectacular, I remember when I got my Pyro Vision, it just quietly appeared in my bag."
Zhongli: "Perhaps it's because the way she obtained the Vision is different; this feeling is like exchanging everything she has for power."
Lumine: "I remember there was a note on the Vision description that said in such a situation, although the person obtains a Vision, she will be greatly restricted, and she will forever be unable to defy Su Bai's commands."
Aether: "Binding others' fates with forceful means? This new Heavenly Principle is even more ruthless than Phanes."
Zhongli: "You can't say that. With the power Su Bai has shown so far, he doesn't need to bind anyone's fate at all."
What is fate?
First, you need to be alive to have any so-called fate.
Zhongli's implicit meaning was very clear.
If Su Bai truly encountered someone who absolutely disobeyed his commands, he could simply destroy them with the authority of [Destruction].
If there is no life, how can there be the binding of fate?
[Wall Sina's Royal Palace Main Hall.]
Su Bai sat on the throne, resting his chin on his hand, lightly tapping his fingers.
"Has someone else obtained a Vision?"
Morax looked up at the distant view outside the window.
"Haha, this aura, it should be a Pyro Vision, right?"
Pyro God Phinnemos, who bore a slight resemblance to Aunt Himeko, smiled and said: "Should I go meet her?"
"To test her combat ability."
"I think you're going crazy cooped up here." Venti shrugged: "Not being able to show any combat prowess is fatal for an aunt who is battle-loving and hot-tempered."
"Huh? Barbatos, you're a bit older than I am, aren't you?"
"Oh!" Historia and Nahida curiously watched the bickering gods, like children unable to participate in adult conversations.
Furina, even more bored, occasionally pressed her upright ahoge.
Su Bai, however, paid no attention to the performance of the few people below, still tapping his fingers.
Finally, after a few seconds, he clapped his hands, signaling them to refocus their attention.
"It's almost time for the final action."
"Zhongli, go bring Eren."
"Ei, you make a trip and bring Zeke back."
"If you encounter any obstacles, you can kill them without question."
Eh!?
Nahida and Furina, their delicate bodies trembled.
Their gazes simultaneously turned to the wooden-faced Raiden Ei beside them.
Killing people...
The command Lord Su Bai gave was to kill without question.
They had never seen actual killing before.
Fortunately, they weren't assigned to such a mission.
"Hmm? Ei..."
Raiden Ei tilted her head at the sound.
Who is Ei?
"Tsk, such a good thing actually fell to Beelzebul."
Finimos pouted and gently nudged Raiden Ei beside her with her elbow.
Raiden Ei finally reacted.
"Ah?"
"Am I the one to go on the mission to bring Zeke?"
...
Yae Miko: "Pffthaha... My Ei didn't even react, her clueless look is so cute..."
