Above and Below (Chapter)

All Creation (天地) is the 2nd chapter of the 29th volume and the 116th chapter overall of the Attack on Titan manga, written and illustrated by Hajime Isayama.

Overview
Pieck reveals to both Gabi and Eren that she also wishes to liberate the Eldians of Marley; as a sign of her intentions, she offers to show Eren the location of her fellow spies in Paradis. Yelena also fills in the captured Survey Corps soldiers the details of Zeke's euthanasia plan for the entire Eldian race.

Eren accepts Pieck's offer, and the latter takes Eren and Yelena to the roof of the jail. However, it turns out to be a ruse to lure Eren out for Galliard to attack him. Eren transforms into Titan and fends Galliard off, but an airship fleet led by Magath appears and identifies Eren as their target.

Summary
As Pieck aims her pistol at Eren, she orders Gabi to take the other soldier's rifle; she then tells Eren to take his hands out of his pockets or she will shoot him. Eren calls her out, saying that if she truly wanted to, she would have already done so. After Eren calls her out on her mission to take the holder of the Founding Titan alive, Pieck complies and has Gabi lower the rifle. Pieck states that she too wishes for the liberation of all Eldians, causing Gabi to accuse Pieck of being a traitor like Zeke.

Meanwhile, Connie bitterly laments the recent turn of events; he then asks Armin if he could use his Titan powers to break them out. Armin replies that if he did so, the whole village would be destroyed as a result. Jean then asks Armin why Eren hit him back at the restaurant. Armin informs Jean and the others how Eren verbally abused Mikasa and he punched Eren as a result; when Jean inquires further, Mikasa refuses to elaborate. Just then, Yelena, Onyankopon and Grior arrive with both Connie and Jean insulting them. As Jean implies that Eren is doing Zeke's will via Yelena to avenge the homeland of the Volunteers, Niccolo goes on to say that they mean to take over Paradis as rulers once the plan is completed. Grior insults him and calls Sasha a filthy whore; as Niccolo tries to grab him, Grior is quickly shot in the head by Yelena. She clarifies that their goal is to ultimately save both Eldia and Marley from a never-ending cycle of hatred.

Back in the jail cell, Pieck reveals that she wants to ultimately be able to show her father a bright future for the Eldian race. When Gabi protests that she once again is a traitor, Pieck asks Gabi what she thinks they are. When Gabi responds that they are honorary Marelyans, Pieck scoffs at it and says they will never be able to escape the persecution every Eldian in Marley faces everyday. She then finishes by reminding Gabi Marley can no longer rely solely on the Titans and they will all be killed regardless of how loyal they were to Marley. Pieck offers to reveal her co-conspirators to Eren who are hidden in the village; Eren, having cut his finger as a precaution, heals his finger and has them handcuffed and led away.

Yelena tells the captured Survey Corps soldiers what the euthanasia plan will be for the Eldian race. When she says it will be a peaceful end, Jean argues that it would be anything but. Yelena says that despite how much longer human history will continue, no one will have reached the levels of godliness that Eren and Zeke will achieve. She notices Armin crying, who says it was beautiful. Just then, a member of the Yeagerists arrives and reveals they have a traitor among them. As many other Yeagerists equip their gear and ponder who the spy could be, Nile notices the commotion and ponders what the cause could have been.

As Pieck and Gabi are taken up to the roof of the jail, the Yeagerists notice and, due to conflicting reports, wonder if she is on their side or not. Pieck asks if Eren considers her a colleague; Eren responds that he might if she hands over the other infiltrators. After reaching the roof, they meet Yelena and Onyankopon; Pieck bemusedly remembers Yelena from the Raid on Liberio, asking if she shaved off the beard used as a disguise. Eren demands Pieck reveal the other spies and gets ready to injure himself again to transform; she merely smiles at Gabi and points at Eren. As a rumble is heard, Pieck grabs Gabi and dives for safety as Galliard suddenly breaks through the ground, biting off Eren's legs. In a rage, Eren immediately transforms and then everyone notices several blimps approaching their location. Aboard the blimp, Magath sees that Pieck and Galliard have located Eren and as he orders they immediately take the Founding Titan, both Reiner and Eren glare at their respective targets: each other.
