Raiden Ei: "No one has ever called me Aying. The only Makoto calls me Ei."
Paimon: "After all, she's the Electro Archon of Inazuma. Who would dare call you Aying? Normally, it's Raiden Shogun. But luckily, Su Bai didn't punish her for her momentary lapse."
Kamisato Ayaka: "Aying, huh? I thought Su Bai would only use that name when talking about her to others. I didn't expect him to call her that right to the Shogun's face."
Kujou Sara: "Such a familiar address. It's truly worthy of our Shogun, Su Bai must be very fond of her."
Ningguang: "The way you say that makes it sound like his address to Lord Rex Lapis Zhongli isn't as familiar."
Hu Tao: "He calls him Lord Rex Lapis Zhongli! Zhongli is much more familiar than Morax."
Venti: "Mm-hmm, I agree. He can't possibly call Morax 'Ali,' can he? How strange that would sound."
Zhongli: "..."
Raiden Ei wasn't punished by Su Bai for her momentary slow reaction.
Of course, this kind of thing wasn't a very serious mistake.
Su Bai sitting on the throne didn't affect the Archons' chattering below, which showed that, so far, the relationship between Su Bai and The Seven Archons wasn't as strict as imagined.
As long as they focused at critical moments and didn't mess up during tasks, everything would be acceptable.
[On the other side.]
[The blazing pillar of flame receded.]
[Zeke, adjusting his glasses, stared cautiously at the graceful figure not far away.]
[The pillar of fire that suddenly erupted from underground not only incinerated the Filth Titan but also the Female Titan couldn't escape the fate of destruction.]
[However...]
[Why was Annie able to appear before him unharmed?]
[Did she use the Female Titan's body to withstand this calamity?]
["Hmph..."]
[Annie, emerging from the Titan's body, took a deep breath of fresh air.]
[She stretched her body slightly.]
[Annie slowly hugged her arms.]
[When she looked up again, a faint blush appeared on her face.]
[She burst out laughing on the spot.]
["Haha..."]
["Hahahahaha..."]
[The sudden, inexplicable bursts of laughter instantly stunned everyone.]
[They quietly watched Annie laughing.]
[She hugged one arm, tilted her head, and her continuous laughter caused her delicate body to tremble constantly.]
[Even though her laughter was captivating, to the Marley side, it sent shivers down their spines.]
["Annie!?" Zeke roared.]
["Have you gone mad too?"]
[No one could understand why pillars of flame erupted from Annie's feet.]
[However, Annie, who had just managed to break free from the Filth Titan, chose not to escape but instead stood there giggling repeatedly.]
[It was hard not to suspect that something was wrong with her mind.]
["Oh, I see. You must know that a human body cannot escape from our hands."]
["So you've given up?"]
["Yes!" Annie stopped laughing and looked at all the Marleyans in the distance with a serious expression.]
["When facing such a great existence, everything else is insignificant."]
["Even if I want to go back and see my father, I need that Lord's permission."]
["Reiner..."]
["I finally understand why the me in the future Vision of the world disliked you so much."]
["You act like a warm-hearted big brother, but at critical moments, you always make wrong judgments."]
["Reiner..."]
["Now I can finally experience the joy Historia felt back then."]
[Historia!!!]
[Reiner was bewildered by Annie's words.]
[What did this have to do with Historia?]
[Wait, Historia...]
["Could it be..."]
[At this moment, Reiner's mind suddenly became clear.]
[Historia, the angel in everyone's eyes in the former training corps.]
[Later, because she actively expressed her desire to help the envoy of Celestia, she was noticed by the so-called gods and received a yellow glass bead called a Vision.]
[From that moment on, Historia's status soared, and she was kept by the envoy of Celestia.]
["Could it be Annie, you..."]
[Reiner subconsciously scrutinized Annie.]
[As expected, at Annie's waist, a fiery red Vision was glowing.]
["Reiner, I feel so much lighter now."]
[Annie's voice echoed in Reiner's ears again.]
["Everything in this cruel world can no longer make me fear."]
["Reiner! What nonsense is she spouting?" Zeke roared at Reiner, only to find Reiner trembling all over.]
["Alright, Zeke..."]
["You don't need to make things difficult for Reiner anymore."]
[Annie interrupted Zeke's questioning and said with a smile: "For the rest of the time, I need to take you back."]
["If you don't want to suffer, you'd best start now, don't resist at all, and obediently come back inside the walls with me."]

Chapter 33: This old-fashioned woman struck down the Colossal Titan.
[The lightning signaling a Titan transformation lit up.]
[The red lightning, no matter how one looked at it, felt eerie.]
[Why had the golden lightning of a Titan transformation become crimson?]
[Zeke looked at everything before him in surprise.]
[When a Female Titan with a fiery red body appeared before them, all the Marleyan soldiers couldn't help but gasp.]
["Impossible, what's happening?"]
["Why can Annie's Female Titan body be Burning with flames?"]
["I... I don't know..."]
["Commander Zeke, what exactly is going on?"]
[As an Eldian, Zeke, who had long studied Titans, was equally bewildered.]
[He had never heard of a Titan among the Nine wisdom Titans that was completely Burning with flames.]
[Moreover, the Female Titan itself was one of the Nine Titans.]
[If an explanation had to be given, it was that the Female Titan itself had undergone a tremendous change.]
["E... Evolution..."]
["The Female Titan has evolved in Annie's hands?"]
[Zeke's voice trembled.]
[When this statement reached Annie's ears, Annie shook her head sharply: "No, Zeke, this is not the power of a Titan."]
["It is the power bestowed upon me by my Master."]
Hiss!
Even the audience of Teyvat was incredibly shocked by this.
A Vision, an external magical organ, is essentially an energy converter capable of transforming elemental power.
