Forcing down the nausea, Annie flipped onto the windowsill, a set of Omni-Directional Mobility Gear having appeared on her waist at some unknown point.
This was something Su Modie had prepared for her long ago.
She leaped down.
"Sshh—!"
A pair of high-carbon steel grappling hooks shot out, biting into the exterior wall of the building beside her.
With a burst of gas, Annie used the thrust to swing in a great arc through the air, heading straight for the sky.
She pulled the trigger, and the anchors, like a venomous snake's tongue, accurately pierced the belly of the Leviathan circling above.
Following the rapidly retracting cable, she actually forced her way into the giant Beast's body through the wound split open by the lightning!
After a brief, dead silence, the Leviathan in mid-air suddenly erupted with a shrill, miserable shriek.
Its massive body began to twitch violently, climbing blindly.
It was as if something terrifying was growing savagely inside, threatening to tear it apart.
Then...
"Boom—!!!"
A bolt of lightning, like divine punishment, shattered the clouds over New York and struck the giant Beast dead-on!
Blinding, high-heat light poured out from the gaps in the Leviathan's armor.
The next second, a flame Impact comparable to a small nuclear explosion erupted in mid-air.
This indestructible space Beast was actually blown apart from the inside, turning into a rain of burning steel and blood!
Amidst the sky-filling firelight, a brand-new Female Titan fell heavily toward the streets of Manhattan like a meteorite.
"Boom!"
The earth shook, and the asphalt surface collapsed layer by layer like a brittle biscuit.
As the rolling dust cleared, a suffocatingly terrifying giant stood tall in the center of the battlefield—a full thirty-meter-tall Female Titan had risen!
Compared to before, her size had directly doubled.
Her exposed crimson muscle surface was covered with a layer of snow-white Bone Armor, resembling a heavy exoskeleton.
However, this savage tactic of forcibly blowing up prey from the inside was, after all, a double-edged sword that harmed her as well.
A Titan's body was, in the end, made of flesh and blood—Annie's muscle tissue was heavily lacerated by steel fragments from the Leviathan's disintegration, and several thick pieces of metal wreckage were driven into her shoulder and flank.
Scalding blood poured onto the ruins like a waterfall, a shocking sight, but immediately after, the scalp-numbing sound of writhing flesh rang out, and high-temperature incandescent steam surged from the wounds all over her body.
With the support of her self-healing ability, the reborn muscles slowly squeezed the metal wreckage embedded in her body out.
Accompanied by dull "clangs," the debris hit the ground.
Although limited by the purity of the extracted Spinal Fluid, this body, which fused the Colossal Titan and the Armored Titan, failed to reach the Colossal Titan's terrifying sixty-meter level, and its explosive power and armor hardness were slightly inferior, it was still an epic buff for the Female Titan.
Her injuries healed in an instant.
The thirty-meter-tall Armored Female Titan stood straight, exhaling a breath of scalding white steam from between her teeth.
Annie's cold blue eyes looked down on the scene, seeing several Chitauri hover-bikes approaching.
That long leg, encased in Bone Armor, suddenly kicked high, sweeping out with a piercing sonic boom!
"Bang—Squelch!!"
An entire squad of approaching Chitauri Soldiers was kicked directly out of the air.
I want to be kicked by Annie too.
Like crushed tomatoes, they and their vehicles turned into a puddle of foul-smelling metal and meat paste, splashing against the nearby wall!
However, before the Female Titan could even catch her breath in the ruins, a sudden change occurred.
A violent green afterimage, like a heavy cannonball, fell from the sky and slammed down right in front of her!
That was... Hulk!
Annie's pupils shrank. Relying on her top-tier fighting instincts, she unhesitatingly swung her right fist—as large as a house and covered in thick Bone Armor—and smashed it down toward that seemingly tiny green figure with a whistle that tore through the air.
However, Hulk's agility completely exceeded expectations.
His thick legs kicked off the ground, dodging the building-collapsing blow by a hair's breadth.
Then, instead of retreating, he roared and leaped up, his arms wrapping around Annie's giant fist!
"Roar—!!"
Accompanied by a furious roar that pierced the eardrums, Hulk's arms bulged with veins, and his feet dug into the ground like steel nails.
"Crack—Boom!"
The pavement of the entire block instantly shattered.
Under Hulk's completely unreasonable monstrous strength, Annie's thirty-meter-tall body was actually pulled down by him, then thrown into the sky with an over-the-shoulder toss before being slammed hard onto the street!
The earth shook, and the glass of the buildings on both sides of the street shattered into powder under the terrifying shockwave.
Behind the scenes, Su Modie, who was sharing the vision through Annie's eyes, frowned.
As expected, Hulk's stats are still too broken...
The absolute disadvantage in size was not even worth mentioning in front of him.
That crushing strength and ridiculous explosive speed made the Female Titan, known for her agility, completely unable to keep up with the rhythm.
As for the fighting techniques she took pride in... in the face of "absolute power overcoming all skill," there was simply no room to use them.
On the battlefield.
Hulk didn't give Annie any chance to get up; he pounced on the Female Titan violently, his heavy fists raining down like raindrops.
The indestructible white Bone Armor cracked inch by inch under the monstrous strength, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
Under the intense pain, Annie decisively cut the neural connection, attempting to escape from the weak point at the nape of the neck.
But Hulk's Beast-like intuition was too terrifying.
Just as Annie emerged, he suddenly turned his head, his deep blue eyes staring fixedly at Annie as she struggled out of the flesh.
Annie's pupils shrank, and a rare look of panic appeared on her face.
Seeing Hulk roar and reach out his giant hand, about to crush her, a flash of determination crossed Annie's eyes.
She immediately activated her final trump card—the Hardening Seal from the War Hammer Titan!
"Sshh—!"
High-strength transparent crystal instantly surged from her body, sealing her in a giant diamond-shaped crystal.
Annie's life-size figure (
"ROAR!!!"
Hulk's furious fist slammed into the crystal.
"Crack."
A crisp sound.
This high-strength crystal, which couldn't even be blown open by a Bomb, actually had a fine crack smashed into it by a single punch!
The rampaging Hulk grabbed the crystal and, like throwing a shot put, hurled it violently toward the distant ruins!
Sealed inside the crystal and unable to move, Annie tumbled violently through the air as if on a roller coaster.
In those usually indifferent blue eyes, a hint of fear finally emerged, uncontrollable.
Meanwhile.
On the roof of another low building not far away.
Camilla and Avril were lying on the edge of the rooftop, staring at the battle in the distance.
Originally, when they saw Annie single-handedly crawl into the Leviathan to blow it up and then be reborn as a thirty-meter-tall new form with cool Bone Armor, the two girls almost jumped up and cheered on the roof.
They were practically like a fan club of little fangirls for Annie.
As it turned out, this excitement didn't last more than a few minutes before that green monster that appeared out of nowhere brutally crushed everything.
Seeing Annie being one-sidedly beaten by that irrational Beast, even forcing her to abandon her Titan body and seal herself in a crystal, yet still being chased and smashed all over the street like a baseball, Avril was so anxious her eyes turned red.
"What on earth is going on?!"
Avril gripped the rooftop railing tightly, her voice carrying an obvious sob, "Didn't the Director say before that this big green guy is a good person? Why is he hitting Annie-chan... It's over, it's over, Annie-chan, run..."
Beside her, Camilla clenched her fists and bit her lip, her heart filled with extreme frustration.
Hulk, right... You're pretty tough, huh, daring to bully Annie...
Once I graduate and become a S.H.I.E.L.D. employee, see if I don't catch you and lock you up until the end of time!
Although she thought so fiercely in her heart, Camilla couldn't do anything at all right now...
She could only close her eyes and pray for Annie's safe return.
Of course, Camilla had no idea.
The green monster that was beating up her best friend and earning her resentment...
Was actually her biological father whom she had never met...
