The Devil

-Hito-

After the short talk with Lumine and dinner with his family, he went directly to his room, ready to sleep.

He's really to see which one of his theories is correct, would he still be in Ymir's world or he'd be back at the 'dreamscape'.

He'll only know after sleeping, he closed his eyes and after a minute, he was already fast asleep.

It felt like waking up, and even though he just fell asleep, he slowly opened his eyes. However, something was wrong and he could hear some faint noises near him.

Because of that, he was now fully awake and what he saw with his very own eyes made his blood boil.

He was looking at the Eldians pinning Ymir like a cattle that was about to get slaughtered.

Ymir was struggling and screamed in pain as a spear pierced into her knees, tears were coming out of her eyes.

The Eldians laugh, they did while torturing Ymir, a girl that he promised to protect, a girl that he gave his word that she'd be free.

His eyes turned red, rage filled his very core, his morality was completely forgotten, and he didn't even realize that he was tied up with a rope.

All he had in mind was.

'I'm going to slaughter them all!'

Boom!

(A/N: Damn, who else heard the Aot OST when Eren turned berserk?!)

A lightning bolt hit him from the sky, and it became clear that the Eldians shifted their gazes toward the source and they saw a huge body being formed in their very eyes.

From each bone to the muscle tissues, and finally the skin of the titanic creature.

Behold the sight that they'd never forget, and also the last thing that they'd seen in their pathetic life.

One of the founding Titans in this timeline, the titan that would be known as the True Devil in the Eldian race.

The Devil Titan,

Tadano Hitohito.

In the eyes of Eldian hunters, his Titan form was at least 50 meters tall, blood red eyes that were both glowing, a white skull-like face along with two huge black horns on his forehead.

His back has countless bone spikes that look like wings if you pay attention, and a long black tail that reaches the ground.

His skin was so dark, that he could literally blend in the dark if it wasn't for his red glowing eyes.

Then he moved, and the last thing that the Eldian hunters saw was a huge dark palm grinding like meat in a grinding machine.

Of course, he managed to get some semblance of control because he didn't include Ymir.

Hito regained his consciousness, he looked around confused as to why the scenery suddenly changed, it was as if the forest was hit by a massive typhoon.

Then a few moments later, his eyes widened as he recalled what happened, he quickly got up from whatever he's leaning on, and he started shouting. "Ymir?! Where are you?!"

Panic and nervousness started to bubble inside of him, then suddenly he heard someone squeak behind him, he turned his neck quickly so that it was almost inhumanly impossible.

Hito saw Ymir's small skinny body, the girl was looking at him with surprised nervousness, but he couldn't care less.

He immediately teared up as he saw her fine, he quickly rushed toward her and embraced her body, he didn't even care about the blood that was in her clothes, he was just relieved that she's okay and safe from any form of harm.

The image of her being toyed with by Eldian was completely engraved in his mind, he couldn't forget it no matter how he tried, nor did he want to forget about it anyway.

If before he hated the Eldians, now he despised them.

Hearing and seeing was a different thing, now that he'd seen the cruelty of the Eldians, he became more convinced that he should wipe them out of existence.

Ymir was turning red at his sudden unexpected embrace but did nothing to stop it, as far as she's concerned she loved this warm fluffy feeling.

It makes her happy, and complete.

After a few minutes of embracing Ymir, he finally let go, thinking that Ymir was probably getting uncomfortable with his lengthy hug.

However, Ymir thought the opposite: she wanted more of his warm hugs because it makes her happy, and was disappointed when he stopped hugging her.

It gave her a sense of security that nothing will ever harm her.

"Sorry about that, I was just getting emotional." Hito wipes the tears from his eyes and smiles gently at her.

He didn't realize how much he got attached to the girl until he saw that horrific scene, even though they just knew each other for a day, he didn't care as far as he was concerned he cared for her.

She doesn't have a home or a family.

He could give both to her, a home and a loving family.

(A/N: Yeah, you can help her make a family if you know what I mean.)

"N-no, it's okay…I-it was nice…" Ymir shyly answered him.

He smiled at her and then asked seriously. "So, Ymir tell me what happened?"

Hito doesn't know what happened but he just knew something big happened.

Ymir looked at him with nervousness, he didn't know what the look meant but he had to handle this with care.

"It's fine Ymir, whatever you say I'll believe you and I won't be mad. I'm just curious about what happened after 'that' incident, because I don't remember anything after that."

Hesitating for a bit, Ymir finally decided to say. "Y-you became a b-big devil! B-but you saved from t-them that's why you're good! R-right?"

Hearing that from her, he couldn't help but blink and think. 'I became a big devil?'

He tried hard to remember, but he couldn't because whenever he tries to think about what happened, he'd only see a blurry image.

Although he doesn't really understand, he nodded in agreement. "I see, anyway let's forget about it and talk about your clothes…"

He noticed that she really needs a new type of clothes, the clothes that she is wearing have a lot of bloody holes in them.

And just by seeing these clothes makes him remember his failure of not protecting her in her time of her need.

Each of the holes was a reminder of how he failed her, each hole caused her a great amount of pain, and he needed to get rid of these clothes fast.

But he doesn't how to get another piece of cloth-

Oh…oh..!

Of course, how could he forget about Gradation Air?!

He almost did a facepalm for forgetting such a thing, immediately he started making a copy of a black sweater, blue pants, a pair of white socks, white panty, a sports bra, and a pair of black and white sneakers.

To create this illusion, he needed to know how they were made and some stuff, but luckily he knew how these simple things were made out of.

He wasn't even sure if what he created is an illusion, maybe he created a real thing, after all, the influence of Gaia in this world is also nonexistent, and he realized it when gathered some prana.

He tried the same back in his reality and it was harder but in here? It's almost as easy as breathing.

In this world where the consciousness of the world has almost nonexistent influence, a simple magecraft Gradation Air could become as powerful as the first true magic Denial Of Nothingness.

Which could create literally everything that the user wanted, or so the magi claimed.

"Here, use these clothes, throw away your old ones." He gave the freshly created outfit to Ymir.

However Ymir was gaping, her mouth formed a massive O, she couldn't believe what she just witnessed.

Her companion slash protector just created luxurious clothing out of nothing! She saw it with her own eyes yet she still can't believe it.

It's even more unbelievable than him becoming a titan!

"Umm…Ymir what's wrong?"

"N-nothing!" Ymir quickly takes off her clothes in front of him.

Hito sputtered at her bold action. "What are you doing?! Why are you undressing in front of me?!"

"E-eh! B-but if I don't undress how would I change my clothes?" Ymir answered with confusion.

"Y- no, that's not what I meant! J-just change okay? I won't look." He turned around blushing at what he witnessed, he knew she was a kid but damn for someone at her age, she sure is curvy.

Ymir however found it weird for him to act like that, it's just her undressing, right? It's like he'll do anything to her.

Despite being confused, she followed his instructions, she started changing her clothes, the new shirt was a perfect fit for her.

Although…what do these things used for?

Ymir raised both of her hands looking at the white panty and the sports bra.

How does she use these..?

For those who have no idea what Denial Of Nothingness is, it's like the Arc of Embodiment from fairy tail, but better because it could actually create living beings, and it doesn't have any limitations unlike the Arc of Embodiment

Having this kind of power makes the user become 3-A at least, with that much power destroying a universe with a thought isn't that hard.

I'm probably making assumptions here, but the Denial Of Nothingness description is pretty much unknown. The only thing that was known about this magic is pretty much it could create anything the user willed, basically it's creating a very, very powerful illusion that the world thinks it's real.

Also, Gradation Air is like the trash version of that magic, not to mention it's complicated to use due to the fact that you needed to know how that particular item works, how it was made, and so on.

But it can't make a living being, even without Gaia's influence, that magecraft could never ever be on par with the true magic Denial Of Nothingness.

They are just that different, just explaining because I don't want you to misunderstand the fact that a mere Gradation Air can be compared to the first true magic.

Probably the closest thing that could match it is Shirou Emiya's Tracing.
