Trisha was unable toprehend a single thing that Eren was saying. He even appeared like a crazy person in her eyes.


    He didn''t want her to tell him the things he had said to her? He wanted her to listen to him and not take him to the Central Continent, even if it meant not listening to his request to take him there?


    Did he have some kind of split personality? At least, that''s how it came across to her.


    "I will remember," she nodded. She wasn''t nning to take him to the Central Continent in the first ce, after all.


    It was a dangerous ce, and she didn''t think her son-inw was going to be safe there. But after witnessing his strength, it looked less like his safety was at stake, and more like the Central Continent''s safety was at stake.


    "Only two seconds left..." Eren frowned, with the timer slowly ticking away. "And onest thing..."


    "Urgh, nothing." He rubbed his forehead and didn''t say anything else.


    He dropped his thoughts about telling her to stop forcing her to be together with her daughter. He was about to advise her to stop bullying him, but remembered that he had already interfered a little too much.


    "Hmm? What?" His expressions darkened, and he abruptly looked in the direction of the Central Continent.


    "That fool! I only told him to leave a trace behind! Who told him to-" Eren was in disbelief, and even a little frustrated, an expression that was rare for him.


    The timer struck zero, and he fell on the ground, unable to evenplete his sentence.


    He slowly opened his eyes again, but the coldness was nowhere to be seen. Instead, there was only confusion on his face when he saw the Pce Master sitting before him, in the middle of a crater.


    There was still a trace of blood trickling down the corner of her eyes.


    "Mother-inw?" he called out, worried about the damage that his future self might have caused during the possession.


    He thought that thirty seconds were barely enough for his future self to find a way to heal his soul. He never thought that within this time, he was going to find ways to hurt the Pce Master.


    Why did his future self do it? Had he lost his mind? When he hurt the Pce Master, did he not think that the Pce Master was going to thrash him when he left?


    Throughout this incident, he had once again been convinced that his future self was stronger than the Pce Master. First, he had killed the Goddess of Light, and now he made the Pce Master bleed. But what how?


    In a situation like this, was he even going to live long enough to be that future self?


    ''Is it toote to ask for her forgiveness?'' he thought, his mind being in aplete mess. ''Should I pretend to be ignorant?''


    "Cough, Mother-inw? Who hurt you? Didn''t we just leave hell? Where are we now?" He chose the second option, not wanting any responsibility for what might have happened.


    The Pce Master frowned, and her expressions made Eren even more frightened. Was he truly going to die today? He couldn''t even use the Echo of Eternity right now, and even if he did, the chances of sess weren''t certain.


    "Cough, don''t worry about it. We are in the Upper Realm. Unfortunately, someone attacked me just when we arrived. I killed that assassin, so we are safe now."


    To Eren''s disbelief, the Pce Master yed along and didn''t expose him. If anything, she looked a little more cautious before him, her arrogant cold self nowhere to be seen.


    It felt more like she was talking to someone equal or superior, than a junior that she could p to death.


    The Pce Master didn''t know if Eren was simply pretending, or if it was truly a split personality and he was apletely different person now. She didn''t want to find out either, as she was a little scared of bringing forth the other Eren again.


    Eren didn''t want to acknowledge what had happened a few moments ago. It was the same for Trisha. The only difference was that only one of them knew the full extent of the storm that had arrived.


    "We... we are?" Eren''s eyes widened in feigned surprise, ncing around the devastated surroundings.


    Chunks of ice and snow were scattered everywhere. He could even see arge hole in the wall not far from him.


    "It must be a scary enemy. I am d that you are safe." Eren brought out a handkerchief from his storage, and rushed to the Pce Master to wipe the blood off her lips gently.


    The Pce Master instinctively moved back, her hands still trembling a little. For some reason, Eren found her reaction amusing, since it used to be his reaction before her in the past.


    He sat next to the Pce Master, and wiped the blood from her face using the handkerchief, as the cuts on her face had already healed. Only the traces of blood were left behind.


    It was a moment of peace that didn''t belong to the Ice Maiden Pce which was on just alert. Many people of the Ice Maiden Pce, including the Elders were still a little scared after seeing those Lightning Bolts in the sky.


    It wasn''t just the Ice Maiden Pce that had suffered. There was one ce in the Central Continent which had suffered even more in thest few seconds.


    Someone was sent to the Central Continent to create false traces. Unfortunately, that wasn''t the only thing he had done. Instead, he had intervened to a much bigger extent than that.


    "T-thank you." Trisha thanked Eren for helping her, but she still couldn''t forget that there was a monster hiding within this seemingly ordinary man.


    She even started to have second thoughts if it was fine to give her daughter to this man. There were many things about him that she didn''t know, especially now.
