The climactic battle concludes with Mikasa and her comrades successfully breaking Ymir’s control over Eren, and the decisive blow is struck as Eren’s colossal Founding Titan form meets its end. In this moment, Eren’s hidden memories come to light. He used his power to communicate with his friends through the Paths, explaining his intentions. Eren revealed to Armin that by letting his friends save the world from destruction, he would make them heroes for the remaining population (he massacred 80%). He stated that he wanted them to fight and become heroes. However, he also went on to say that he also wished to see the world flattened! His head was messed up because in his mind, there was no past, no present, it all existed at once!
Driven by fear of retaliation from the outside world, Eren aimed to ensure that Paradis had defenders willing to fight for the sake of humanity. This grim outcome was the only one he believed possible, given the tumultuous influence of the Attack Titan’s power on his mind. While Armin wished to explore alternative solutions, Eren’s desire for full-scale genocide prevailed. After the battle, Armin and his allies strive to negotiate peace with other nations.

Historia reveals that Eldia has fallen under the sway of the Yeagerists, a faction poised for confrontation with the outside world.

Meanwhile, Mikasa and her companions find moments of serenity, but society continues its relentless march forward.
