The Devil of All Earth is a fictional fictional character in Attack on Titan. It is a figure of Eldian mythology who granted Ymir Fritz the Power of the Titans, causing the existence of the Titans on Earth.
Biography[]
A girl by the name of Ymir Fritz is claimed to have met with the Devil and struck a deal more than 1,800 years before Zeke Yeager's birth and the Fall of Wall Maria. Unknown to us, Ymir offered the Devil something in exchange for the great power it bestowed upon her, making her the first of all Titans. Legendary tales of Marley tell how the brave and heroic fictional figure of Helos fought and slew the Devil of All Earth, conspired with the Tybur family to overthrow the Eldian Empire, and defeated the unbeatable King Karl Fritz. It is not specified if legends mean that Helos literally slew the Devil, or if it is meant to be symbolism with Helos bringing down Eldia.
Eren Kruger subsequently told Grisha Jaeger that this myth may mean different things to different people and that there is no such thing as ultimate truth. She also offered the possibility that she had found the origin of all life, from which she had drawn the power of the Titans.
Growing up on the family farm in Wall Sina, Historia Reiss, a direct descendant of Ymir Fritz, shared a home with her half-sister Frieda Reiss who would visit her and read her the story.
Trivia[]
- The Devil's true historical counterparts responsible of the existence of the Power of the Titans and the Subjects of Ymir are King Fritz, who was a normal mortal man, and a supernatural parasitic life form known as the "source of all living matter", as named by Marley's scholars trying to discover a scientific explanation behind the Titans and the Paths.
