Becoming the Original Founding Titan

"You should be the current head of the Tybur family!"

"Who are you?"

Willy wiped his mouth with a napkin, very elegant, obviously an aristocrat with a high education.

"I come from Paradise Island. I've eaten the Founding Titan, Attack Titan, Colossal Titan, Armored Titan, Beast Titan, Jaw Titan, Cart Titan, and Female Titan. Now, I'm here to devour the War Hammer Titan."

Tang An didn't treat himself as an outsider, bringing a plate of food in front of him and started tasting it.

He laid all his cards on the table.

Hearing this, Willy was dumbfounded.

His calm expression began to stiffen.

He wondered if he had misheard or if this guy was mentally ill.

"Please don't make such jokes."

Willy's expression turned somewhat dark.

"I'm not joking! If you hand over the War Hammer Titan to me, I won't have to kill your entire family. Can't we have a pleasant trade?"

Tang An swallowed the food in his mouth, snapping his fingers as golden lightning emanated from his entire body.

This was a sign of transforming into a Titan.

Only now did Willy become dumbfounded. This guy wasn't mentally ill.

"Big brother, run!"

As a huge storm swept in, a woman in maid attire stood in front of Willy, slashing her palm, and golden lightning surrounded her.

She was the current War Hammer Titan and Willy's sister.

"It seems you are the current War Hammer Titan."

*Boom...*

As a bolt of massive golden lightning struck, the entire castle shattered. With a roar, Tang An transformed into the Armored Titan.

At the same moment, Willy's sister also transformed into the War Hammer Titan.

A tall giant with headgear and mask, wielding a hardened spear-like weapon, appeared in her hand instantly.

Simultaneously, a hardened sharp spike emerged from the ground, thrusting towards Tang An.

*Ding...*

A tremendous collision occurred; sparks flew from Tang An's armor, almost failing to block the opponent's attack.

Stepping back, Tang An began to crystallize from head to toe, doubling his defense with the Armored Titan's armor.

A Kukri knife appeared in his hand, and he charged towards the War Hammer Titan.

*Swish... Swish...*

With a swing of the War Hammer Titan's spear, hardened spikes rose from the surrounding debris, hindering Tang An's movements.

"so you can quickly create weapons using hardening"

Tang An's eyes gleamed with greed.

It turned out the War Hammer Titan's ability was to freely create various weapons using hardening—a formidable power.

Up until now, Tang An hadn't used hardening on the human body; he could only use it when transformed into a Titan.

Perhaps, after devouring the War Hammer Titan, he could use hardening even in a human form.

Then, his attack and defense would be much stronger.

In some ways, this hardening resembled the Haki in the One Piece world.

*Crackle...*

Tang An, wielding the Kukri knife, forcefully swung through the battlefield. Although the War Hammer Titan's hardened spikes were stiff, they couldn't withstand the strength of the Diamond Kukri Knife and the Armored Titan's power; they shattered.

However, the War Hammer Titan created numerous weapons.

In the distance, among the ruins, Willy, covered in blood, watched the fierce battle between the two Titans with shock and concern.

If what this guy said earlier was true, and he had devoured all eight Titans, including the Founding Titan, then his sister wouldn't be a match.

"Quick! Quick! A Titan has appeared in the Tybur family castle."

"Emergency action."

The loud noises here alarmed the Marley government, and numerous soldiers were rushing towards the scene.

*Roar...*

Tang An, covered in hardening, approached the War Hammer Titan. The opponent wasn't as difficult to deal with as he had imagined.

Moreover, the hardened spikes created by the War Hammer Titan became slower and less sturdy.

The main reason was that Willy's sister had inherited the War Hammer Titan not long ago and hadn't undergone warrior training like Annie, so her stamina couldn't hold up for long.

*Puff...*

Tang An, with the Diamond Kukri Knife in his left hand, cleaved through the hardened armor of the War Hammer Titan. In his right hand, the Kukri knife severed the War Hammer Titan's right arm.

*Ding ding ding...*

The War Hammer Titan's hardened ground spikes couldn't pierce through Tang An's armor and hardening.

With a single stroke, Tang An pressed the War Hammer Titan to the ground, and the Kukri knife flashed, slicing the War Hammer Titan's neck in half.

Tang An tore apart the flesh at the War Hammer Titan's nape, but there was no sign of Willy's sister.

Was she somewhere else in the body?

Holding the Kukri knife, Tang An, amidst the scene of blood and flesh, dismembered the War Hammer Titan. Yet, he still couldn't find the opponent's true body.

"What is this thing?"

Steam billowed out, and Tang An, holding a piece of hardened crystal, looked at Willy's terrified sister inside.

Similar to the original story where Annie sealed herself in the end.

"So, controlling the Titan from outside the body instead of at the nape."

Tang An grabbed the hardened crystal, observing Willy's sister's terrified expression with surprise.

"Did you think you would be safe inside the hardened crystal?"

Tang An opened his blood-filled mouth, and his teeth mutated.

This was using the power of the Jaw Titan.

The strongest power of the Jaw Titan? It was the biting force.

*Crack...*

Shards of hardened material scattered, and with increasing force, Tang An shattered the hardened crystal. Willy's sister was bitten in half at the waist, and the entire upper body was swallowed by Tang An.

At the moment of devouring the War Hammer Titan, Tang An's head rang, and when he came to his senses, he was in the "Paths" world.

Originally like a walking corpse, Ymir suddenly stood up and walked towards Tang An.

And she looked up.

All of Tang An's attention was drawn to those eyes—entirely diamond-patterned diamonds, shining brightly and deeply like the starry sky.

What's going on?

Tang An's mind began to blur, especially as his feet began to blur, and a lethal crisis surged to the top of his head, making him shudder.

Ymir didn't speak, just looked at Tang An, eyes devoid of any emotion.

"Damn it, you want to take over me?"

Tang An's face twisted, and this situation was something he hadn't anticipated.

This woman wanted to devour him.

"Fuck you, bitch."

"Use Soul Devour."

Tang An, now enraged, his lower body already blurred, grabbed Ymir, using the Soul Devour ability.

Originally, he intended to keep this skill, but now he had to waste it.

*Boom...*

As Tang An used Soul Devour, the entire "Paths" world's brilliance skyrocketed, accompanied by a piercing scream that tore through eardrums.

As if demons from hell, Ymir dissolves completely, ending in a howl of reluctance and resentment.

Tang An closes his eyes, his face filled with an expression of enjoyment.

Like consuming some kind of essence, causing the entire soul to sublime.

The lower half solidifies again, and Tang An opens his eyes. The original pitch-black pupils have turned into purple-patterned diamond pupils, exactly like Ymir's eyes before.

At the same time, Tang An can now use everything from Ymir, including all the power of the Titan.

Now, Tang An is the original Founding Titan.
