Chapter 88

"Then, are you really leaving?"

Ten days later, Cistia, dressed in a classical and luxurious blue and white dress, with the beauty of a princess and the dignity of a queen, stood on the towering Wall Sina, looking at the figure in front of her with a clear sense of reluctance and reluctance in her tone and eyes.

"Uh-huh." Tang Cheng turned around and looked at her, nodded solemnly, and said in a deep voice, "After this battle, I will return to my hometown to embark on new adventures, so you don't need to see me off."

"Then... will you come back?"

Tang Cheng hesitated for a moment, "It's hard to say, but my journey is the vast starry sea, and I won't stop until I complete it. But don't worry..." As he spoke, Tang Cheng walked up to Cistia, patted the shoulder of the fifteen-year-old young woman, and said softly, "A couple of days ago, I took some time to specially draw two life-sized portraits of myself for you. They should already be hanging in your room. You can look at the one where I'm dressed during the day to admire my heroic and wise appearance, and the one where I'm naked at night... Oh, by the way, I also put a stick I made by hand in your drawer, the same size as me. If you really can't bear it at night, you can look at my portrait and use the stick to pleasure yourself."

"But remember, a little is good for the soul, a lot is bad for the body, and too much will destroy everything. Take care of yourself!"

"..." At first, Cistia was quite moved by Tang Cheng's gentle words, but as expected, perverts are perverts. After just a few sentences, he was spouting dirty jokes again, leaving her completely at a loss for how to react, feeling both embarrassed and angry.

Then, Tang Cheng took out the Desert Rose and handed it to Cistia. With his current strength, this gun had become nothing more than a toy. Enemies that could be dealt with by the Desert Rose could be handled by his fingers, and enemies he couldn't handle couldn't be dealt with by a hundred Desert Roses. However, giving it to Cistia could still serve as a means of self-defense... besides, a mere 100 survival points for something that was optional.

"The recoil of this gun is a bit strong, but with your physique, you can still use it. Although you probably won't need to, consider it a token of my affection. As for the army, Erwin and Ian are trustworthy. If you don't want to manage it, you can leave it to them. The Military Police are under Ymir's control, so you can rest assured. I've basically listed out all the important matters... As for the secret of the Walls, I won't get involved. Although Father Nick isn't very likable, he is loyal to the Reiss family. If you have any questions, just ask him, and he will definitely tell you... So, that's about it."

After saying this, Tang Cheng turned around. Cistia instinctively reached out, opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, said nothing, letting Tang Cheng fly out of the wall, gradually moving farther and farther away.

Holding the new Desert Rose in her hands, Cistia subconsciously looked at her abdomen... The Reiss family's method of insemination leading to pregnancy was a complete lie. She just wanted to use it to make Tang Cheng take this world more seriously, thinking that with a child, he would come back to see.

But Cistia truly hoped to have a child, so in recent days, she hardly rested, spending every night with Tang Cheng, rolling around in bed for hours each time. She didn't know if her efforts would really result in a pregnancy, but if she did, even if Tang Cheng never returned, she would have something to hold onto.

At the same time, inside the Wall Rose, in an empty town, a 60-meter-tall Titan was being bombarded by cannon fire from all directions.

Bertholdt Hoover, the human form of the 60-meter Ultra Titan, was captured by the challengers arranged by Tang Cheng during an expedition outside the Walls about half a month ago. Since then, he had been imprisoned in the basement of the old Survey Corps headquarters, a secret known to only a few people.

The three Titans were each useful to Tang Cheng. The Female Titan could serve as a research sample for humans, the Armored Titan could enhance Cistia's prestige, and the Ultra Titan was the endpoint of his departure from this world.

Before Cistia ascended to the throne as the new queen, Tang Cheng had specifically arranged for the Stationary Guard to vacate a town in the Rose region, moving all the residents to the interior, and using this town as a battlefield to kill the Ultra Titan, with numerous cannons set up on the walls around the town.

And today, within the final deadline of the main quest, Tang Cheng finally had Hoover released, once again using mental rage to make him lose his mind, transforming into the Ultra Titan, and then bombarding him with countless cannons.

When Tang Cheng arrived, the Ultra Titan was already at the end of its strength. Despite its massive size, its movements were incredibly slow, and it couldn't harden. Under such concentrated fire, it couldn't react at all.

"Ha, I thought it wouldn't matter if I let you have this kill, but I didn't expect you to be so useless. Even if I don't take it, you can't kill it." Tang Cheng came to the wall and laughed loudly at the four challengers, including Ordinary Youth.

"This guy is too hot; we can't even get close." The four Ordinary Youths looked helpless. The Ultra Titan wasn't important for Tang Cheng's side quest; they just needed to kill it, so they weren't hesitant. They had planned to kill it before Tang Cheng arrived, but the problem was that the Ultra Titan could release high-temperature gas, making it impossible for them to get close, and even their mobility gear would be destroyed by the heat.

"Since that's the case, I won't be polite... Ian, have them stop the cannon fire." Tang Cheng said immediately. This time, the Survey Corps didn't participate much, and it was mainly the Stationary Guard in charge.

Ian was taken aback for a moment, then said, "That's probably not a good idea. The Ultra Titan hasn't lost its fighting ability. If we stop the attack..."

"I'll take care of it," Tang Cheng interrupted.

"No! That's too dangerous, even for you, in such high temperatures..." Ian was determined to refuse, but before he could finish his sentence, Tang Cheng flew out, making his face change drastically as he immediately ordered the cannon fire to stop.

The moment the cannon fire stopped, Tang Cheng had already rushed into the thick steam.

"Phew, it's really hot..." Standing on the Ultra Titan's shoulder, Tang Cheng finally understood why the four couldn't do anything to the Titan. He felt as if he was bathed in boiling water. If an ordinary person got close, they would be immediately incapacitated... Even the four challengers, in Tang Cheng's eyes, were only a bit stronger than ordinary people, with no significant changes.

Even he couldn't stay in such high temperatures for long.

"Pain can be numbed by blocking the pain nerves, but my body can't withstand the high temperatures... Three minutes is probably the limit."

Tang Cheng muttered to himself. As he spoke, he swiftly cut into the back of the Ultra Titan's neck.

A moment later, with most of the neck flesh cut away, Hoover's body was exposed to Tang Cheng.

Although it seemed simple, in reality, the Ultra Titan was the hardest of the three Titans to deal with. Not only because of its size and strength, but also because of the high temperatures, which were enough to make anyone but Tang Cheng retreat. Even so, his body was already steamed to the point of being unrecognizable, with his skin raw and bloody.

"So it was you all along, it seems we were all outsmarted..." Looking at Tang Cheng, the now清醒的胡佛不禁苦笑道，“既然你在这里，我也死定了，最后，我能问你一件事吗？”

“怎么，你也想要个茶叶蛋？”

“茶叶蛋？不，我想问阿尼怎么样了？”

“她还活着，但跟死了也没什么区别。”

“是吗……”胡佛低喃了一句，眼中隐隐有着几分眷恋。

汤成提起手中的寒霜之刃，“虽然还想和你再聊几句，但我的身体好像快要撑不住了，那么，再见吧……为了女王的荣光而战！”

最后那句话，汤成以最为响亮的声音喊了出来，算是作为送给希丝特莉亚最后的一份礼物了，而当声音落下时，寒霜之刃也切断了胡佛的脖子，后者瞬间死去。

“支线任务‘人类新纪元’已完成……”

“主线任务‘消除三巨人的威胁’已守成……”

“鉴于挑战者9527在当前副本世界中的优秀表现，授予称号——负心汉……”

“……回归轮回空间。”

迷迷糊糊中，汤成再次听到了那冷冰冰的声音，然后就失去了身体的知觉，意识也变得一片空白。

"Since you're here, I'm doomed. Finally, can I ask you one thing?"

"How about a tea egg?"

"Tea egg? No, I want to know how Annie is doing?"

"She's alive, but it's not much different from being dead."

"Is that so..." Hoover murmured, with a hint of longing in his eyes.

Tang Cheng raised the Frost Blade in his hand, "Although I'd like to chat a bit more, my body is about to give out. So, goodbye... For the glory of the queen!"

He shouted the last sentence with the loudest voice, as a final gift to Cistia. As the words fell, the Frost Blade cut through Hoover's neck, and he instantly died.

"Side quest 'New Era for Humanity' completed..."

"Main quest 'Eliminate the Threat of the Three Titans' accomplished..."

"Given the excellent performance of Challenger 9527 in this world, the title 'Heartbreaker' is granted..."

"...Return to the Cycle Space."

In a daze, Tang Cheng heard the cold, emotionless voice again, then lost all sensation in his body, and his consciousness became blank.
