Eren, who had the full power of the Founding Titan, summoned Mikasa, Armin, Sasha, Connie, and Jean to the paths since they were all in different places.

"What happened to you, Eren?" Armin asked with horror after seeing Eren in this state.

"Don't worry, I was shot by the Mid-East forces." Eren said with a stoic tone.

"Can't you just heal yourself with your Titan power?" Sasha asked. "I mean, you could do that, right?"

"As much as I wanted to, I can't. Or else my cover would be blown." Eren said. "Mikasa and I were doing this undercover and if they found out I'm a Tian shifter, then we're doomed. So what did you find?"

Armin said, "It turned out that the Tyburs were actually the ones providing the Titan serum that turned Eldians into Titans and sent them to our island. They would not use their War Hammer Titan in conflicts with enemy nations and kept their high status in society. But it was also because of them that Eldians in Marley were treated less horribly compared to the other nations."

Jean said, "What about you guys?"

Eren frowned, "Not good. The other nations had been preparing weapons to counter the Titans. In this state, the Titans and the full Rumbling wouldn't be a problem to them. Now that the war was over, the officials in Marley were going to continue their operation of retaking the Founding Titan. The same thing that caused Commander Erwin, Marco, and the other's lives would happen again."

"Not to mention if that happened, the Tybur Family would also send out their War Hammer Titan, along with the other 4 Titans. Everything was the same as Eren's memories... Marley was going to gather all the nations in the world and declare war on us." Mikasa said.

"Damn it... was there no other way to prevent this?" Armin muttered with slight anger. Doing this meant that they were going to kill innocent people and children even though they were their enemies.

"We've been negotiating with almost every nation in the world." Jean muttered. "The only one who would cooperate was Hizuru, others refused to negotiate with us and wanted us dead."

"If we lose, we die. If we win, we live. The only way to move forward is to fight." Eren said. "We still needed to do the Liberio battle. If we wanted to win this, we would need to evacuate the innocents and target the army instead of the crowd."

"As much as I hated doing it, but this seemed to be the only way..." Sasha said with a frown.

"Good, we'll send you guys back to where you were." Eren said as they were all out of the paths. Eren was sitting at the bench of the hospital, and he was surprised to find Falco there. He waved his hand toward Falco.

"Um, it looks like you're recovering pretty well. Mr. Kruger." Falco said.

"I guess." Eren answered. "People come here to get treated for PTSD, but I'm faking it."

"Huh?" Falco was confused, and Eren said, "I've been acting like the wound was serious but really...I just don't want to go home. I don't think I can face my family anymore. You gonna tell the doctors?"

Falco looked down. "No, I wouldn't do that."

The man looked at him. "You're hurt. Did that happen in warrior training?"

"Yes. But I don't think I'll make the cut." Falco muttered. "I mean... Gabi was good at everything."

"That's a good thing." The man looked away from him.

"Huh?" Falco looked at him.

"You're a good person. I'm glad you'll be able to live a full life."

Falco looked down again. "But I don't want Gabi to become a warrior."

The man looked at him again. "Why not? I've seen her skills, she would be able to make Marley proud with the power of the Armored Titan."

"I know... She's famous around here. She even played a big part in ending the war. Everyone knows she's the best pick for the next Armored Titan. But I'm too weak, I won't be able to change anything before it's too late."

It was silent for a while before the man spoke up again. "Every day since I came here, I've been thinking. Why did things end up this way?" A man was in a wheelchair, a nurse took care of a man with bandages around his eyes and a man was sitting on the ground. "Having your body and mind rot away, losing your sense of self..."

A man banged his head against a wall. "Anyone who knew they'd end up this way would never set foot on a battlefield." It zoomed into his missing leg. "But something pushes them onward. And they all walk into hell anyway. Usually, that something isn't their own will. The conditions and people around them leave them with no choice." Falco looked at him.

"But people who push themselves onward see a different sort of hell. They're looking at something past that hell. It might be hope, or it might be yet another hell." It zoomed into the face of the man. His visible eye was green and dull with almost no emotions. "Only the people who keep moving forward can know for sure."

Falco was surprised at what Eren said, and he said, "You're right. I'll keep moving forward. Thank you very much, Kruger."

Eren nodded as Falco left, and at the same time, Zeke arrived and said, "Eren. You've started to resemble our father a bit."

"Is that so..." Eren nodded. "So what did you want to talk about?"

"Well, first off. Yelena had told you about my intentions. You're here because you understand, right? So do you support my plan for the Euthanization of all Eldians?"

Eren sighed and said, "Let's talk about this in another place. Where nobody would listen to us."

Just then, Eren brought Zeke to the paths, and Eren said, "You want me to euthanize every Eldian. However, there is no way I could ever go along with a plan that messed up."

Zeke was shocked, and he said, "But Eren! So long as there are Eldians, the hell will never end! If you don't do this now, this bloodshed will never stop. What we've repeated many times will only continue for eternity."

"It is because we were born into this world." Eren said. "Big brother. Four years ago, you said that I was brainwashed by my father, however, that was not the case. My father didn't use me to get the Founding Titan, instead, he kept everything from me until I saw his memories after I devoured him."

"If that's the case, why did you refuse to end this conflict, what do you plan on doing with the Founder's power?"

"If someone wanted to steal my freedom away, I won't hesitate to take theirs." Eren said. "I'm sorry that you didn't know this, you thought that your royal blood was given to you by your mother, however, our old man also had Royal Blood inside him. The Royal Blood of the Attack Titan."

"What...but..." Zeke was shocked, as he had never heard about this before. 

"Each of the Titans has Royal Blood, just like how King Fritz had the Royal Blood of the Founding Titan." Eren said. "A lot of years ago, the Attack Titan was stolen from our ancestors, however, to ensure that the Attack Titan would return to our family, they made a vow of future redemption. With both the Renouncing Vow and the Future Redemption, both vows cancel with each other, giving me the full use of each Titan power."

Noticing the shocked look at Zeke, Eren continued, "The reason that Marly won against the Mid-East using your scream was that I allowed you to. I never treated Founder Ymir a slave, which was also why she had been wanting to serve me."

"I see... So you are still going to do the full Rumbling, killing everyone outside of Paradis?" Zeke asked.

"That would only be the last resort." Eren said. "Right now our goal was to return the power of the 9 Titans to their original family, which also meant your Beast Titan. Surely you only have one year left to live, right? Wouldn't it be better if you joined Eldians in Paradis instead?"

Zeke contemplated for a while, and he said, "I never wanted to become a Warrior, only that my parents forced me to. If you have a better plan than this Euthanization plan, then I would support you as a brother should."

Eren nodded and he said, "Oh, and I forgot to tell you one thing. I'm not the only one who came here in Liberio. My comrades were also here, for their safety of the King of Eldia, and for what was about to come in the future."

"The King?" Zeke asked in shock. "You don't mean..."

"Yes, I married the queen, she was having our kid back at Paradis. I promised I'll return to her until I complete our mission." Eren said.

"I see... I'm sorry that I didn't attend the wedding." Zeke said.

"It would be better if you didn't show up. I mostly invited the Scouts to our wedding because we weren't trusting the Military Police and the Garrison." Eren said. "And they hated you for killing a lot of us back at my hometown."

"So I have to guess that Miki, the one who was with you, was also your comrade?" Zeke asked.

"Yes. She is Mikasa Ackermann. The Ackermann's prosecution already ended with two left. She's one of them." Eren said. 

"Is that so... she had Azumabito blood, didn't she? No wonder she would be able to blend in so easily." Zeke said. "And the other one had to be Levi, right?"

"Yeah, he still wanted to kill you, just so you know." Eren said. 

"I knew... but I had to do it or else Marley would notice." Zeke frowned. "So you're married to the queen. How did you do that?"

"Before she was the queen, she was a soldier like us. The two of us had been spending time together. When the Royal Family wanted to take the Founding Titan back, she saved my life and promised me that we'll be allies forever. And after founding out the royal blood inside me, there was no reason not to marry each other."

"You must like the queen a lot, huh..." Zeke nods. "Well, Eren, I would need to go back or else Marley would notice."

"Okay... we'll see you at the festival." Eren said as they were all back to the hospital. Once Zeke left, the one who visited him was Armin.

"Kruger... so what did you talk to him about?" Armin asked.

"I told him that his plan was not good and what we're planning." Eren said. "Right now we need to bet everything on the upcoming festival. If it happened the same way as my memories, we have no choice but to do it."

Armin frowned, but he knew how terrible it was. "I hope you're right, Kruger..."

Here is a new chapter, and in this chapter, Eren meets up with Zeke and he decides to tell him that the plan is not a good plan. I hope you like this chapter.
