Chapter 55

The operation proceeded as planned. About half an hour later, at the cost of nearly a hundred lives, most of the Titans in the town were lured to both sides. Ian, the leader of the elite squad, along with Tang Cheng and a few others, escorted Eren to the large rock in the center of the city.

The situation that followed was similar to the original story. Eren transformed into a Titan, losing his consciousness, and engaged in a violent struggle with Mikasa. If not for Mikasa's strength, she would have been turned into a pile of meat by the Titanized Eren, thus completing the path of killing his wife to achieve enlightenment.

Riko and the others, who had little hope for the operation, were left in despair after witnessing this scene. Fortunately, Ian was decisive and was one of the few who recognized Eren's value. He did not abandon the plan and continued to execute the mission to protect Eren. However, he was at a loss as to how to resolve the current dilemma.

Tang Cheng was also at a loss. Although he claimed to be all-powerful and knew how to awaken Eren, the problem was that he was not Eren's close friend and did not have the necessary rapport. However, before coming here, Tang Cheng insisted on bringing Armin along.

Armin, the second male lead who is actually the second female lead, was the only one who could awaken Eren. In the original story, he joined the bait squad, leading to many sacrifices during the time Eren was unconscious. It wasn't until he risked his life to reach Eren that Eren's consciousness returned. Now, however, it was much simpler.

Thus, under Armin's heartfelt call, Eren finally lifted the rock, which was much larger than his Titan form, and began to walk step by step toward the gate destroyed by the Colossal Titan.

At the same time, the Titans in the town were attracted to Eren and began to launch a fierce attack.

Everyone knew that the real battle had begun. No matter what, they had to hold their ground, even at the cost of their lives!

The moment Eren lifted the rock and took a step forward, Tang Cheng flew onto the rock, standing there with a confident air, and shouted, "The sides are up to you. As for the Titans attacking from the front and back, I will block them all."

"You alone? How is that possible..."

Riko was about to object, but Tang Cheng turned his head and said coldly, "If you don't want more people to die, do as I say. I said I will block them, and I will definitely block them."

"Trust him," Ian waved to stop Riko, "His strength is on par with the elite of the Survey Corps. Even alone, he can eliminate more Titans than we can. I'm sure you understand this."

Riko subconsciously touched her right arm and finally nodded, "Alright, but if you fail to hold them, I will never forgive you!"

"Hehe, I don't need anyone's forgiveness, but I am a man of my word..." As he spoke, Tang Cheng's gaze turned, and he raised his right hand, holding a long sword straight ahead, "So, let's begin the attack. Ultimate Eren Beast, advance toward the hope of humanity!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom...

At this moment, whether Eren could hear Tang Cheng's voice or not, he clearly could not respond. He just kept carrying the rock and moving forward.

In the original story, the sacrifices during this time were very severe. The elites of the elite squad, to ensure Eren's safety, sacrificed themselves one by one as bait. However, with the presence of the Four Heavenly Kings of Niblack, the battle was much easier. So far, no Titan had managed to reach Eren.

Although these four were at the lower end of the power spectrum among the many challengers in the cycle space, and might not be much stronger than Tang Cheng, a newcomer, they were still several times stronger than the people in this world in terms of physical strength, combat experience, and other abilities. They also had special abilities obtained from the cycle space.

If they couldn't achieve some results with such power, they might as well buy a block of tofu and smash their heads against it.

Seeing no Titans coming, Tang Cheng felt a bit bored. Then, looking at the scene, he suddenly felt a surge of inspiration to sing. He cleared his throat, "Ahem, ahem, ahem."

The girl with the sharp ears, Riko, immediately recalled a recent incident and felt a chill, "He, he can't be going to..."

Just as she said this, a loud song rang out. Tang Cheng held his left hand in front of his chest, pointed his right hand forward, and sang loudly, "Beautiful angels are calling you from afar, brave young man, go find your penis... A harmonious wind blows in your face, gently striking my heart, the Dragon Slaying Saber, click to receive... Greasy senior, where are you, I keep searching but can't find you..."

"Damn! Can't you stop being disgusting!" Riko was furious. The moment she heard the song, she almost tripped and was nearly eaten by a Titan.

"Also! Cruel Angel isn't sung like that, go apologize to Juping!"

"What? You don't like it? How rude... I specially transformed into a Battle Song Princess to sing battle songs and give you buffs. If you don't like it, fine, I'll change the song."

"I will use my entire life to support you, hoping you will stop your wandering gaze, grant me the power of infinite love and being loved..."

This time, not only Riko but even the three young men were in tears, "Daddy! Can't we call you daddy? Sing Cruel Angel, if you sing Love Support, the Titans will go berserk!"

Tang Cheng pursed his lips, "You're blacklisting Xiao Mi, it's insane!"

As he spoke, Tang Cheng's body shot out, and a visible blade of light flashed in the air, instantly killing two Titans attacking from the front. Then, a chain shot from his waist, hitting a Titan behind Eren, and he used it to fly backward, slashing with his sword, causing blood and flesh to fly.

Easily killing three Titans, Tang Cheng returned to the rock and sang again, but this time he changed to a new song, "Hau~ Spin, spin, spin, spin, spin... Night and day, spin..."

"Can this guy take anything seriously!" Tang Cheng's every move was visible to everyone, and his frivolous attitude was unbearable for Riko, who was always serious. Listening to the chaotic song, she felt countless horses galloping in her heart.

Ian, however, was not bothered, and said with a smile, "Although he is indeed frivolous, I've heard he was like this in the training corps, and it's this attitude that infects those around him... Haven't you noticed that because of him, everyone's mood is no longer as tense as it was at the beginning, and the unease on their faces is gradually fading. His confidence is infecting us."

"Is he doing this on purpose?"

"Not necessarily, but with him around, I feel a strong sense of security."

"Why do I feel no sense of security at all?"

"Because Riko, you are too serious."

Their conversation did not last long. When the next wave of Titans attacked, they charged forward again.

As time passed, when Tang Cheng changed to his seventh song, Eren finally reached the end and used the giant rock to block the destroyed gate... When the signal of the successful operation shot into the sky, at that moment, whether it was the elite squad fighting in the city, the soldiers serving as bait around the city, or the rescue forces on the wall watching the battle, everyone burst into loud cheers.

Because this was the first victory in human history since the appearance of the Titans!

The cost of this victory, besides the sacrifice of over a hundred people serving as bait, was only a single-digit number of casualties from the elite squad. Even Ian and another squad leader who died in the original story survived.

The other squad leader was saved by an ordinary young man, while Ian was saved by Tang Cheng. Although Tang Cheng was ruthless in killing, he would not hesitate to kill those he disliked, but when those he liked were in danger, he would not stand idly by.

In previous events, although Ian's tone was not always good, Tang Cheng could feel his protective intentions. So, when Ian was in danger, it was natural for him to lend a hand... In fact, for Tang Cheng, saving or killing someone did not require much reason; it was ultimately a matter of whether he wanted to or not.

On this battlefield, for any of the brave soldiers, Tang Cheng would try to save them if he could, and he had the ability to do so. As for those who died, it was because they were too far away, beyond his reach, and there was nothing he could do.

On the other hand, after placing the rock, Eren fainted from overusing the Titan's power. The rescue forces were not yet available, so Tang Cheng had Mikasa and Riko guard Eren while he went to kill the Titans in the city... With the gate successfully blocked, the next step was to clear the Titans in the city, and Tang Cheng did not want to waste the large amount of survival points.

The Four Heavenly Kings of Niblack had the same idea. Each Titan was worth 10 survival points, and they were much more eager than Tang Cheng, almost using all their strength to compete.

Yes, you read that right, each Titan was worth 10 survival points, and the abnormal Titans were worth 20 points, which was half of the initial reward. This change did not surprise Tang Cheng. At first, they were not adapted to the world's equipment, and killing Titans was a difficult task. Now, they were fully adapted, and with the Titans' obvious weaknesses, if the rewards were still high, it would become a points-grinding game.

In fact, Tang Cheng estimated that after joining the Survey Corps, the reward for killing Titans might become even lower, or even zero.

Returning to the main point, with Tang Cheng's strength, the Titans in the city posed almost no threat to him. However, his 3D maneuver gear had its limits. When Tang Cheng killed the ninth Titan, his gas was completely depleted.

A four-meter Titan saw him land on the ground and immediately struck with a palm. Tang Cheng remained calm, jumping up at the moment of the strike, climbing up the Titan's arm, and cutting off the back of its neck.

Standing on the Titan's corpse, Tang Cheng wiped the blood off his sword and muttered, "Ten Titans plus thirteen during the transportation, a total of 230 survival points... Too easy, completely no challenge."

Actually, only he could say it was easy. The other four challengers would never say such a thing, as the Titans' strength was terrifying, and a slight mistake could lead to serious injury. Despite their great strength, they had to be cautious.

"Brat, not bad."

As Tang Cheng was wiping his sword, a slightly cold voice appeared in his ear. Looking up, he saw a figure standing on the roof, looking down at him, and behind him, a ten-meter Titan slowly fell.

"Brat?"

Tang Cheng was initially stunned, then he looked at the person's height and burst out laughing, "1.6 meters, hahaha!"

Crack!

The tiles under the person's feet immediately cracked.

I keep searching, where are you, the one who votes for me?
