Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: The One Who Watches

The world felt… wrong.

Not destroyed.

Not broken.

But changed.

The sky above the battlefield trembled as thin cracks spread across it, glowing like shattered glass. Each second, those cracks grew wider, as if something beyond reality was trying to break through.

Below that fractured sky stood two beings.

Two monsters.

Facing each other in absolute silence.

Eren Yeager didn't move.

His eyes were locked on the creature before him.

That Titan…

No.

That thing—

Was watching him.

Not like prey.

Not like an enemy.

But like a judge.

😈

"You've changed."

Its voice was calm. Too calm.

Eren frowned.

"And you talk too much."

For a brief moment, the world held its breath.

Then—

💥 BOOOOOOM!!

Eren moved.

The ground exploded beneath his feet as he launched forward with everything he had.

Speed.

Power.

Rage.

All focused into a single strike.

His fist tore through the air, aimed directly at the creature's head—

But it vanished.

💨

Eren's eyes widened.

"Too slow."

The voice came from behind him.

💥 CRASH!!

A brutal impact slammed into his back, sending him flying across the battlefield. His body tore through debris before crashing into the ground with overwhelming force.

Dust filled the air.

Silence followed.

Then—

Eren moved.

Slowly, he pushed himself up.

Breathing heavy.

Body shaking.

Not from fear.

From pressure.

"He's faster than anything I've faced…"

His mind raced.

Analyzing.

Learning.

Adapting.

The creature appeared again.

Right in front of him.

No warning.

No delay.

😨

Eren reacted instantly.

💥 Their fists collided.

A shockwave exploded outward, cracking the ground beneath them.

For a moment—

They were equal.

Power against power.

The creature smiled.

"Good."

Eren pushed harder.

🔥 "I'm just getting started!"

He attacked again—

Faster.

Stronger.

Relentless.

💥 BOOM!! 💥 BOOM!! 💥 BOOM!!

Each strike carried more force than the last.

But the creature—

Blocked.

Dodged.

Countered.

Effortlessly.

"You're improving," it said.

"But not enough."

💨 WHOOSH!!

It disappeared again.

Eren turned—

Too late.

💥 SMASH!!

Another hit.

Stronger.

Sharper.

He was thrown into the air, spinning before crashing back into the ground.

The battlefield was no longer intact.

Everything was destroyed.

Eren lay still for a second.

Then—

He laughed.

Low.

Dark.

Unstable.

"Heh…"

Blood ran down his face.

But his eyes—

Burned brighter.

"Now this is a real fight."

He stood again.

This time—

More focused.

More dangerous.

Something inside him was changing.

Evolving.

The creature watched silently.

"You're not breaking…"

Eren stepped forward.

"I don't break."

💥 BOOM!!

He charged again—

Faster than before.

This time—

He aimed for the core.

Not the body.

Not the head.

The source.

The third eye.

The creature reacted.

For the first time.

💥 IMPACT!!

Eren's fist connected directly with the glowing eye.

A massive shockwave exploded across the battlefield.

The sky cracked even more.

For a brief second—

Everything froze.

Then—

The creature moved.

😈

Its hand grabbed Eren's arm.

Firm.

Unbreakable.

"So… you noticed."

Eren struggled.

"Let go!"

The third eye opened wider.

Glowing intensely.

💥 FLASH!!

Suddenly—

Visions flooded Eren's mind.

Ancient wars.

Titans rising.

Humans falling.

Entire civilizations erased.

"You are not the first…"

The voice echoed inside his head.

"…and you will not be the last."

Eren's body froze.

"What… are you showing me…?"

The visions continued.

Stronger.

Darker.

"You are a vessel."

Eren's eyes widened.

"No…"

"You carry a fragment of something greater."

💥 BOOM!!

Eren roared and broke free, jumping back.

Breathing heavily.

"I decide what I am!"

The creature tilted its head.

"Do you?"

Silence.

Then—

It stepped forward.

The ground trembled.

"Then prove it."

💨 It vanished again.

This time—

Eren didn't hesitate.

He closed his eyes.

For a split second.

Feeling everything.

The air.

The movement.

The intent.

Then—

⚡ He moved.

💥 BOOM!!

He intercepted the attack.

Their fists collided again.

But this time—

Eren didn't get pushed back.

He stood his ground.

"I can see you now."

The creature paused.

Just for a moment.

"Interesting…"

🔥 Eren attacked again—

Faster than ever.

Stronger than ever.

Each strike more precise.

More controlled.

The fight intensified.

Blow after blow.

Impact after impact.

The battlefield was completely destroyed.

But neither stopped.

Neither backed down.

😈 The Truth

Suddenly—

The creature stopped moving.

Completely.

Eren hesitated.

"Why did you stop…?"

The creature looked at him.

Calm.

"Because now… you're ready."

Eren frowned.

"For what?"

Silence.

Then—

The third eye glowed brighter than ever.

💥 BOOOOOOM!!

The sky cracked open.

Not just lines—

But a massive fracture.

And from that crack—

Something looked back.

😨

Eren froze.

"What… is that…?"

The creature stepped back.

"That… is what you truly are."

💥 End

Eren stood still.

Heart pounding.

Eyes locked on the sky.

Something was coming.

Something far worse than Titans.

And deep inside—

That same voice returned.

"This is only the beginning…"
