I just realized, so we discover in this chapter that no, the world has definitely not been taken over in an apocalypse of titans, that's all just fiction (within fiction).

It'd be quite ironic if somehow through a series of events, the 'nuclear option' was initiated and the millions of wall titans did emerge to flatten the Earth and in so many ways, there would be a tragic irony of Eren seeing that the apocalypse was a lie only to basically make that apocalypse happen in the end.

But I have a bit of a hunch that King Fritz was bluffing.
