I was never on board with the theory that Eren was the Father because it made no sense and this chapter reinforced that in my eyes. Why would Historia choose to have a child with someone who outright declared that he would slaughter tens of millions of men, women, and children, and would erase her memories if the guilt was too much for her to handle? That's sickening on a whole different level. But she proposed to have a child to stop Eren from doing that, and from what we can tell in chp 108, he agreed to it. So why would he agree to her counter offer to destroying the world and then proceed to do so? Nevermind that flashback was between the end of season 3, and his conversation with Reiner in chp 98-100 where he clearly spoke a different tune than when we last saw him at the time.

I know you're mainly talking about Eren being the father, but this chapter reinforces how that should never should've been the mystery readers debated immediately in lieu of the real mystery of what Eren is up to. Instead they just buy that he is a genocidal maniac yet there is evidence and logic to suggest he isn't simply that, with cracks in his POV that make him look that way no less.
