Chapter 1: The Forest of the Sages

"After eternity, what is left is legend and glory, and glory will bring endless loneliness and loneliness. After the loneliness is gone, all that remains is destruction. And destruction is rebirth, and rebirth is the beginning of a new history for mankind! ”

-- "Genesis Poems", Chapter 87

"Father, will the destruction written in the "Creation Poem" really come?"

In the green forest of the sages, two travelers are walking quickly through the jungle full of ore. The older traveler, his lips pursed, his eyebrows solemn, a striking scar on his resolute face split from his forehead to the tail of his eye, and his right eye was only a fraction of a second, and the broadsword firmly wrapped in spun cloth under the huge cloak faintly emitted a pale cyan light, although it did not show its edge, but the beasts of the forest had already felt the threat under this cloak, and they all scattered in all directions, not daring to approach a single bit.

The other, sixteen or seventeen years old, had a handsome face embedded with a pair of deep eyes of the color of flames, a sharp chin with a perfect contour, a straight body, and a heavy bag on his back, which seemed to him completely weightless, and walked like the wind, closely following the older traveler, and not falling at all.

"Allen, no matter what is written in the poem, no matter how superstitious people are about this prophecy. You must remember what my mother and I told you, and find the book of Revelation in order to truly implement justice, and before that, what we have to do is not to be deceived by monsters, not to be deceived by appearances. ”

Chester's big hands, wrinkled by the ravages of time, firmly grasped his son's shoulders, and said word by word in a deep voice:

"I need to do what is right, and I must first know what is right. Child, what is justice is the greatest purpose of our trip, you must keep it in mind! ”

Eren looked up at his father, once upon a time, he didn't understand why his father ran all day long, just to carry out the so-called justice, until a year ago, witnessed his mother's death, saw the most evil side of the world, he told himself that there was no time to cower and fear, if he didn't do something, others would also enter an unimaginable desperate situation.

Recalling the past, his slightly trembling hands clenched his fists tightly, and the clicking sound of bones colliding with each other rubbed between his fingers, as if the pain at that time had penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

"Keep walking, we must get out of here before dark."

Seeing Allen's distraction, Chester said softly, his father's voice pulling Allen's thoughts back to reality

"Hmm!"

The rainbow bridge in the sky gradually disappeared into the clouds, and the sun quietly set in the treetops at some point. Although I was already trying my best, I still didn't have time to get out of the forest before dark.

Chester looked a little uneasy, and as the sky grew darker, his right hand never left the broadsword behind his back, clutching the hilt that was just exposed. In the dark forest, there are always terrifying monsters that depend on darkness to survive, lurking, waiting for every traveler who enters the Forest of Sages to become their sumptuous meal tonight.

"Wow!" With a bang, a few blue birds suddenly flew out of the bushes, what disturbed them in such a quiet night?! Chester alertly drew his broadsword from his back, the spun still wrapped around the blade. Although it can't be seen clearly, you can feel its incomparably sharp sword aura, and ordinary creatures will never dare to get close. Alan also pulled out his mining shovel from his bag, and his red eyes looked around, ready to strike at the monsters that might appear.
