The New Era Arrives: Giant World

Chapter 41 The Awakening and Transformation of Dana Fritz and Her Descendants

The consciousness of Frida Reis, the third-generation ruler of the Eldian Empire, entered Diana Fritz's dream while she was in a coma. She witnessed Diana Fritz's past and discovered that Diana Fritz was trapped by it, unable to escape, and had been kept in a semi-conscious state of unconsciousness. Only members of the ancient Eldian imperial family could sense Diana Fritz's current state, and as the ancient ruler, Frida Reis naturally understood why and to what extent Diana Fritz was in this state. Frida Reis tried to awaken Diana Fritz, telling her that the past was the past and she should let go of her burdens and look forward. However, Diana Fritz remained trapped in the dream, unable to break free.

Frieda Reiss decides to use her own power to enter Dina Fritz's deepest dreams in search of a way to unravel her inner turmoil.

Because the stunningly beautiful young girl, Frieda Reis, brought new life and new power to Dina Fritz, allowing her to remain unaffected by the dreams, Frieda Reis, seeing that Dina Fritz was unable to escape her dreams, decided to help her gain new life and new power. So, she entered several dreams that had a significant impact on Dina Fritz. In the first dream, Frieda Reis saw Dina Fritz being abandoned by her parents as a child. She went forward, gently hugged little Dina Fritz, and told her not to be afraid, that many wonderful things awaited her in the future.

First, she saw the Dana Fritz of her childhood memories, a girl seemingly filled with endless sadness and loneliness. Back then, Dana Fritz's eyes revealed a deep sorrow, as if she were the only person left in the world. Meanwhile, her younger grandfather was using every trick in the book to pursue his beloved. Scenes flashed before her eyes like a movie: sometimes making funny faces to amuse her, sometimes deliberately striking comical poses to get her attention; sometimes acting like a child, just to win a smile from her. After many hilarious and absurd events, her grandfather finally won over the woman he had longed for, and they married. Months later, they welcomed their love's fruit—a lovely little princess. The couple happily named their daughter Dana Fritz, hoping she would have a future as beautiful and hopeful as the dawn. From then on, the family of three lived a warm, sweet, and happy life. However, due to the dwindling supply of the control agent left by the first ancient emperor of the Eldian Empire, members of the imperial family were frequently targeted by assassination attempts. To ensure his beloved girl no longer lived in fear and the safety of his child, he strengthened protection in all aspects. He became the 144th ancient emperor of the Eldian Empire. To stabilize the Eldian Empire and the people of the world, he married a woman of extraordinary influence. Through a series of actions by his successor, the 144th ancient emperor of the Eldian Empire had a child named Karl Fritz, bringing over a decade of peace to the world and its people. However, they still couldn't escape assassination attempts. Although he sent elite forces to protect his beloved girl and child, the mastermind behind the assassinations became even more ruthless. For example, this time the poison was incredibly vicious, leaving even the Eldian Empire's medical gods and kings helpless. The 144th ancient emperor of the Eldian Empire looked on with dismay at his beloved... The girl and child, suffering so much pain, were taken to a hidden place and healed with all the power of the Titans. Enduring the pain, the Titans separated two streams of their own power from their complete origin and merged them into their bodies. He then sat cross-legged to recover his depleted strength and barely replenished his own Titan origin with his own life force and lifespan. The beloved girl and child awoke with the help of the two Titan sources. Then, the 144th Ancient Emperor of the Eldian Empire said to his beloved girl and child, "You have suffered. I will arrange a peaceful life and daily routine for you. I will accompany you in another way." He then summoned the most powerful women of the Eldian Empire and gave them his final orders: ensure their daily lives and safety, and obey the girl's reasonable instructions. They were forbidden to reveal their true identities to anyone except the Ancient Emperor of the Eldian Empire, who wanted to know the truth. He then sent the most powerful women to take his beloved girl and child to a peaceful place. Immediately afterwards, the 144th Ancient Emperor of the Eldian Empire used the power of the Titans to erase everything concerning him, his beloved girl, and their child. He then used his own power to connect the consciousnesses of his beloved girl and the child, creating a hidden space that only any one of their three consciousnesses could enter. Thus, he existed in two states: one where he lived freely in the hidden space, enjoying a happy life with his beloved girl and child; and another where he lived harmoniously with the current Eldian Empress, constantly working to resolve various problems within the Eldian Empire and improve relations with other nations. This continued until the 144th Ancient Emperor's lifespan was nearing its end. He then nurtured Karl Fritz, the eldest son of the 145th Ancient Emperor, in all aspects. When the 144th Ancient Emperor was dying, he took Karl Fritz to the secret place where the previous Eldian Emperors had passed away, explaining the succession process and saying, "I am gone, you are their father." This way, they wouldn't be overwhelmed with grief and sorrow. Then, the 144th Ancient Emperor of the Eldian Empire used the power of the Titans to alter the memories of all nations in the world, ensuring they only remembered him as a benevolent Ancient Emperor. Simultaneously, the consciousness of the 144th Ancient Emperor of the Eldian Empire formed a contract with the consciousness of the First Ancient Empress of the Eldian Empire in another dimension: "After my death, my first child, upon awakening, will become the new Ancient Emperor of the Eldian Empire; if not, life will continue as before." Immediately afterward, the First Ancient Empress of the Eldian Empire instinctively complied with the contract, and then the consciousness of the 144th Ancient Emperor of the Eldian Empire... Having left the dimensional space and returned to his physical body, he used his Titan power to pull the consciousnesses of his beloved girl and child into a hidden space. He told them he was dying and had come to say his final farewell, asking them to take care of themselves and that he would watch over them from afar. His beloved girl, tears streaming down her face, asked if he could stay and watch over their child as he grew up. He shook his head, saying he couldn't; otherwise, he couldn't face the ancient empire his ancestors had upheld. He couldn't be so selfish. Therefore, he pleaded with her to take care of their child, allowing him to experience the hardships and labor of the lower classes and the actions and deeds of the higher classes from a young age, so that she could better bring new life to the ancient Eldian empire in the future. After saying this, his consciousness left the hidden space and returned to his physical body. With his last breath, he said, "Only by sharing the power of the Titans within my corpse can you become the true 145th Ancient Emperor of the Eldian Empire." Then, his breath ceased. Immediately afterward, Karl Fritz, the 145th Ancient Emperor of the Eldian Empire, silently guarded this beauty, leaving the world with a final tenderness, like a shooting star in the sky, briefly shining before disappearing into darkness. The loss of a loved one caused the world to change color; the heart was heavy with grief, a heart torn apart by the pain of separation and death. Having shared his deceased body, Karl Fritz became the true Ancient Emperor of Eldia, the 145th Ancient Emperor of the Eldian Empire, shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting the empire. He understood that his father's departure was for his better growth; he had to be strong. Through Karl Fritz's efforts, the Eldian Empire gradually grew stronger. And he did not forget his father's instructions. Time passed, and the 144th Ancient Emperor's young wife and child lived peacefully for many years. One day, the beloved wife of the 144th generation ancient emperor once again slipped into that secret little space, and there she discovered the last trace of her husband's presence. It was his eternal protection for her and their child, and his deep love for his family. The 144th generation ancient emperor's beloved girl burst into tears, but she knew that although her husband was gone, his love would always be with them. However, the beloved girl of the 144th Ancient Emperor knew she had to fulfill his wish to raise his beloved daughter, Diana Fritz, to adulthood. At the same time, she began to provide comprehensive training for Diana Fritz with the most powerful women in the Eldian Empire. However, on the day she came of age, an accident occurred: her mother and those who had raised her died protecting her. She suffered a severe blow, her memories became fragmented and incomplete, and her personality underwent a dramatic change. Meanwhile, the 144th Ancient Emperor's confidants, through a chance encounter, discovered Diana Fritz's striking resemblance to him. They took her to the remnants of the Eldian Empire for further training until she became acquainted with Grisha Yeager, married him, and had a son, Zeke Yeager. After learning the truth, Szayelaporro, having become one of the leaders, meticulously planned the destruction of the Marleyan Empire's army stationed in a crucial location in Eldia to avenge his sister. The Marleyan army repeatedly surrounded and attacked them, but due to an accident, they were captured and tortured, unable to extract any information, so they were exiled to this place. The plan was to inject them with a strange drug and place them there, but they were knocked unconscious. A group of secret agents replaced the strange drug with a new, special one, saving their lives and strengthening their physiques. However, due to several near-death experiences during their advance, not far from the Eldian Empire, during a crisis, Dina Fritz fell into a coma. Freya Reiss, however, recalled a premonition of a blood relative appearing before her. She first sensed this through her grandfather, Karl Fritz, but because she hadn't inherited the complete Titan power and it was limited, she thought it was a mistake.
