"The humanity will remember it as a heroic battle between good and evil."

"When we fight, I will intentionally lower my defenses and at the same time pretend to be fighting."

"The parasite is a powerful being, and yet only Ymir and I are the only ones who can look into the memories of Eldians. To it, the battle will look like I was losing, so it will try to take matters into its own hands and will emerge out of the paths. At that time, some of our friends will turn into titans, but when you end my life, they will turn back."

"If you mean every titan, then that means-"

"The more you spend in a normal titan form, the more your body rots. Ymir, the one we trained with, was in the titan form for 50 years. Her clothes were gone, and her body became rotten."

"Even if that body is completely gone, the paths store every bit of information like a book."

"Eldians are connected to the paths even after their death."

"Founder Ymir built Ymir's body by herself, and the Ymir was reborn again to play the part for a future event."

"The colossal titans are made from these sands. The Marleyans, for this reason alone, wanted the founder. An infinite number of colossal titans will trample everything on their path. Without it, they simply relied on injecting the Eldians."

"What does the parasite want? Why did it pick Ymir?"

"The parasite wants to destroy humans because it hates what we have! The freedom!"

"When this parasite dies, these colossals will disappear, and after it dies, our friends turn back."

"When it has nowhere to go, it will die, and the moment it dies, I will too."

"I will be free of this burden. But remember, Armin, this is where your burden begins." Eren warns Armin.

"When I die, those people at Fort Slava will reluctantly trust you. You will be a hero to them."

"Does that mean we can finally achieve our peace? If by making us heroes. Does that mean they will trust Eldians again?"

The location changed to the walls near the ocean of Paradise. In the same spot, Eren Kruger and Grisha talked about the Eldian conflict.

"Even if we aren't children of Ymir, the 2000 years of hatred will not go away. Even 2000 years ago, there wasn't absolute peace. If anything, we learned from our history that mankind will always fight for their selfish desires."

"Then what's the point of making us look like heroes."

"I did it so at least a few will trust you and help you. The world simply won't forgive, forget, and unite just because one man became the common enemy. After the Great Titan War, the world got rid of their common enemy, Karl Fritz. Yet, they still fought among themselves."

"There is no such thing as everlasting peace. Even if I destroyed the world, the Paradise would eventually destroy itself sooner or later. I would have had to become another Karl Fritz to control the population and create a utopia built on lies. I do not wish that. I do not wish to carry this burden of being the vessel to this power any longer."

"I am tired of this, Armin. The curse lasted long enough, and it is time for me to end it all. When I die, the world won't attack; the damage is too strong, and with your diplomacy, I am sure you will convince some nations to back down."

"When I let you out, I will wipe the memories of this incident, and you will gain it at the moment of my death," Eren hugs Armin.

"You will save the world. As long as you live, you would protect everyone."

Armin goes back to the human world with no recollection of his memories.

The Battle of Heaven and Earth (Chapter 138)

"I am in the head of the titan," Mikasa suddenly hears Eren's voice.

"Come to me," He says, and she blows the teeth of that titan and enters into the mouth where Eren waits. But before she strikes, he brings her into the paths. She dreams of the sequence where Eren and her escaped and lived alone.

Mikasa, after that dream, finds herself in paths again. He begins talking.

"At that day in my heart, I wanted to run away, but I couldn't. A small part of me wanted both of us to be together, but a bigger part of me wanted to end this curse."

"I wish that things were better,"

"I wished for us to be together."

She walks towards him and kisses him. He gets into her mind and shows her a dream where they both were normal people meeting and falling in love. They spend their life happily on a farm, a simple humble life. It was a long happy dream. He brings her back.

"I am sorry that things ended up this way. I want you to live a long happy life, find someone and fall in love."

Mikasa shakes her head with teary eyes not agreeing with him.

"I can't, I won't."

"Even after I pushed you away, you came back to me. I am happy about that. I really am, but I want you to be happy,"

"I can rest peacefully knowing that you will be okay."

Ymir stands there smiling.

"Ymir believed whatever she felt for Karl Fritz was love. It wasn't loving. She was just a victim who found a bond with her captor, Fritz treated her better after he found her powers, she believed it to be love. She didn't realize it until she saw this moment that she was not loved."

"She wanted this moment to happen. Where you, who truly loved me, stopped me from doing something terrible. Something she wished she should have done." Mikasa walked to Ymir and hugs her.

"I followed this path to end this curse, but in the end, all of this hell happened because a little helpless girl trapped in a nightmare."

"It was hard and painful, wasn't it? For 2000 years, you waited for this moment. Your relationship with Karl Fritz was a long nightmare that shouldn't have happened."

"To you 2000 years ago. From me 2000 years in the future, you are free." Mikasa says, and Ymir begins breaking down, and the world of paths begins to fade away like dust. Mikasa beheads Eren and at one final moment before everything ends. Eren, before dying, sends his thoughts to all of his friends, addressing each and every one of them individually.

Eren brings her back in paths, and Eren falls in her arms smiling.

"Maybe the reason I was born into this world is for this moment alone."

"Mikasa, thank you," Eren dies smiling,
