<h4>Chapter 1657 Eliza''s Rampage</h4>


    Eren left soon after giving his farewell speech to the audience.


    He didn''t stop Agatha and others from throwing a celebration in his honor for breaking into the Grandmaster Rank.


    He believed that he didn''t need to oppose all of Anfang''s traditions. It was fine if others celebrated in his name. And it was fine to follow traditions just for the sake of following them.


    After Eren left, the tform was taken over by the stage artists he had hired long back during his graduation ceremony. The y this time depicted Eren''s struggles at the time of the Lazarus Project. It was his story but with some dramatic ir and exaggeration. Sort of twisting the truth and erging the drama for a theater-like experience.


    The y was broadcast on various parts of Ravendale at the same time, enabling the people of the continent to get some insights into what actually happened that caused the Great Shattering.


    The y also had an onscreen Eliza serving as the onscreen Eren''s arch-nemesis. The actors ying these two lead roles were chosen carefully by the city administration. As such, the audience received the y quite well.


    After the y, one of Argo''s recorded performances was going to get rendered spectrally on the tform. The colosseum was soon filled with various bustling noises and shouts as the Rankers started enjoying the celebration.


    The Grandmaster for whom this celebration was organized was nowhere to be found. However, nobodyined. It was as if people hade to a tacit understanding to just enjoy themselves for the day before moving on.


    ***


    Sansara World 2.0. Maya''s abode.


    "That was quite a speech you gave there," Eliza said as she saw Eren approaching her. It seemed that the Witch of the Endermes saw Eren making his public appearance via a spectral feed avable to her inside Sansara World 2.0.


    She wasn''t surprised by the fact that Eren had taken his timeing here. After all, some personal goodbyes needed to be done for the onest time.


    "I could have said more. But then they''d have to pay me," Eren said casually as he stepped towards Eliza. It didn''t take him long to stand right in front of her.


    Eliza was not alone. Le and La were also with her. Plus, Maya and Alephee stood close to each other in the vicinity as well, discussing stuff only they were aware of regarding the uing task.


    ***


    A lot of things happened to Eliza after Eren defeated her during the onset of the Great Shattering.


    Eren made sure that Eliza, La, and Le could never hurt him or his allies. He used the Sin Series restrictions that only he had ess to.


    He then set the trio free, enabling them to seek vengeance on the Anfang Alliance. This was so that the Anfang Alliance could focus on its greatest threat– Witch of the Endermes and leave Ravendale alone for some time until he got things in order.


    One could say that Eren''s n had worked too well. This was because it took the Alliance a whole nine months to initiate a siege on him. A part of the credit needed to be given to Eliza.


    Eliza had not kept quiet after she recovered from her physical and soul-rted injuries. She could not do anything against Eren. her pride had already been broken so she could not use her Sin Series Abilities on him anymore either. It was as if she had be a toothless tiger when it came to battling against Eren.


    Eliza did the next smart thing after she realized the situation she was in. She decided to make use of the chance given to her by Eren, seeking payback from the Anfang Alliance for what they did to her, her House, and all of the half-bloods of her time.


    It seemed that Lady Zee''s consciousness also influenced Eliza''s actions to some degree. This was because she had located and fought with a group of cultists from the Illuminati who had persecuted Lady Zee for having the same name as Eliza''s original name.


    One could call it a mere coincidence or fate itself that Lady Zee shared her original name with Eliza. However, since Eliza''s name was considered an ill-omen in Afang by a lot of Rankers who knew about the Cmity Era, the cultist Ranker had to call herself Lady Zee.


    Eliza was pissed when she got to know about Lady Zee''s past experiences. Her Sin Series Ability influenced her to take a hard stance against Lady Zee''s enemies within the Illuminati.


    It didn''t take much effort on Eliza''s part to destroy arge number of Illuminati assets during the past nine months. She defeated the man from the Illuminati who had forced Lady Zee to change her name. However, she didn''t kill him.


    Just like what Lady Zee wanted, Eliza changed the name of the man after defeating him effortlessly in an open duel. She renamed him Asswipe and asked the other witnesses to call him by his changed name from then on.


    Of course, Eliza didn''t care about what she had to do across all of Anfang to settle Lady Zee''s score with some members of the Illuminati. She destroyed a few cities that were closely connected with the cultist organizations, causing more headaches for the Alliance than what it was forced to deal with due to the Great Shattering.


    It seemed that Lady Zee and Eliza had decided to ept each other after being forced to share the same body. The two were slowly letting their soul fusion change themselves into someone who was both of them at the same time.


    They had agreed to let the other take control of the body they shared intermittently. This was thepromise Eliza had decided willingly in order to recover from the grievous soul-rted injury she had.


    Eliza got ess to Lady Zee''s ck mes after she epted thetter and took revenge in her stead. She managed to merge the properties of ck and green mes, turning her spells even more potent and destructive than what they were before.
