Did you ever wonder what would happen if Eren Yeager won against the alliance and destroyed the entire world? What would happen to Paradise Island and his friends would Eren Yeager manage to finally bring true peace to his people or would it all be in vain?

Well before we talk about what exactly would happen let’s first quickly cover three ways Eren Yeager could have easily won in the final battle.
First Way to Won the Final Battle
The very first and obvious thing Eren Yeager could have done is not allow his friends to use their abilities. The only ones who had a real chance to take him down were the other Titan shifters and depriving them of their power would have been an easy win for Yeager. But how would he even do this well back in the paths when Eren Yeager convinced Ymir to lend him her strength.
He unlocked all the abilities of a founding Titan using those Eren could have easily modified all the eldians as he pleased and stopped other Titan Shifters from using their powers after this no one in the world would be able to stop him as the regular weapons do pretty much no damage to Eren Yeager and his army.
In this scenario, it's most likely that the alliance would still try to pursue Eren Yeager and make him change his mind but without their Titan Powers, they wouldn't get very far and would most likely die at Paradise’s Harbor way before they ever had a chance to talk to Eren Yeager. Although the decision to steal his friends' Titan Powers would allow him to easily destroy the entire world.
You have to agree that it doesn't seem like something Eren Yeager would do as he always wanted to give his friends the freedom to fight back. However, there are still two more ways Eren Yeager could have easily won in the final battle and this next one is even simpler than the previous one.
Second Way to Won the Final Battle
Back when Eren Yeager started the rumbling flock immediately knew that his friends would try and stop him so he captured Kiomi and the engineers to prevent the alliance from using the ship though the flock was well prepared for this battle. There wasn't much he and his soldiers could do against two experienced Titan Shifters like Annie and Reiner. So in the end the flock could only buy Eren Yeager some time. But what if I tell you that Eren Yeager could have done one really simple thing that would pretty much ensure his and flocks Victory.
Eren Yeager could have easily left a few colossal Titans to help flock guard the harbor and stop the alliance from pursuing him with the presence of the Colossal Titans it'd be pretty much impossible for the alliance to win this battle even if they find a way to somehow defeat the Colossal Titans.
It still wouldn't matter as the flock would have more than enough time to sink the ship before anyone gets on board just like he wanted to do in the original story but was stopped by Gabby. This would make it impossible for the alliance to follow Eren Yeager and would lead to him destroying the entire world with no one standing in his way.
But I guess Eren Yeager didn't really think of that and chose not to help his biggest supporter which ultimately resulted in the flock dying poor guy all he ever wanted was to help Eren Yeager. Even Though Eren Yeager didn't take his friends' powers and even though he didn’t help the flock in the harbor he still should have easily won against the alliance in the final battle by doing basically nothing.
Third Way to Won the Final Battle
One of the biggest reasons Eren Yeager lost in the end was because Zeke died and the rumbling stopped. This meant that the alliance didn’t have to worry about marching colossal Titans anymore and could focus all their strength on taking Eren Yeager down. Now at first, it may seem that there’s nothing wrong with this but if you think about it for a moment there's actually no reason for the rumbling to stop after Zeke's death. Let's go back and take a look at a few moments from the anime so you can understand exactly what I mean.
Firstly when Zeke and Eren Yeager came into contact both of them were transported to paths where Zeke was able to negate King Fritz’s vow to renounce war. After that, Zeke gained full control of the Founder’s abilities which he was going to use to euthanize eldians. However, Eren Yeager managed to convince Eren to give him the powers in exchange for giving her the freedom that she deserved because Eren herself decided to support Eren Yeager Zeke's importance here no longer matters and his death shouldn’t have caused the rumbling to stop.
Ymir is the one who gives the powers to Titan Shifters and she should have been able to easily continue the rumbling if she wanted to know why some fans believe that despite Eren’s wishes. Eren Yeager still needs to be in contact with someone with royal blood to keep using the founder's Powers but that's not true. You see back when Eren Yeager touched Dina Fritz and used the coordinate for the first time he commanded nearby Titans to devour her after a few moments Dena was dead meaning that the connection he had with Royal Blood also ended and he shouldn't be able to control the Titans any longer right well not really.
Because even after the physical contact the Titans still pursued Bertholdt and Reiner instead of the soldiers unlike the situation in the final battle where killing Zeke immediately stopped the Colossal Titans Dena's death didn't yield immediate results and Eren Yeager was still able to command the Titans for a much longer time.
If we consider this and the fact that Eren Yeager had Ymir's full support in continuing the rumbling it doesn’t make sense for it to stop. So suddenly due to the complexity of the attack on Titan story, there's probably some way you could try to explain this but the fact is that if this weird thing didn’t happen the alliance would have no chance of winning and Eren Yeager would continue the rumbling until the whole world is destroyed With that we covered three things Eren Yeager could have done to win in the original story.
But now comes the interesting part of what would happen after that. After researching the attack on Titan story for a long time I found two possible ways the story could go from here and the second one will completely blow your mind.
First Scenario - Where would the story go?
After the Colossal Titans finish their March all the alliance members would be dead from fighting the Titan Shifters Eren Yeager created initially Eren Yeager’s main goal was to be free and Grant that same freedom to his family and friends now however having lost everyone he ever cared about Eren would fall into depression and start questioning himself and his actions still having a strong sense of Duty.
Eren Yeager wouldn't just give up now and would decide to modify the remaining Eldians to completely eradicate the curse of Ymir and prevent any more casualties caused by the power of Titans. This was always Eren Yeager’s intention and now that there is nobody in the world capable of hurting eldians.
It's finally the right time to do it after that Eren Yeager would convince Historiato to rule the people of Paradis as their one and only Queen while he goes into hiding. This would work well with Eren Yeager’s character as he never had intentions of ruling or being worshipped, he just wanted to do what was best for his people and now that his plan has been exceeded there’s no reason for him to show himself anymore.
The remaining survivors on the island would probably work towards building a modern civilization similar to Marley and the rest of the world although this kind of seems like a happy ending for the eldian people it won’t stay like this forever you see although some people supported Eren Yeager's decision many others were against it even though there isn’t an outside threat anymore with time it's inevitable that new conflicts will eventually arise and peace will be broken once again. There's a quote from the anime that perfectly summarises this
In the end, Achieving Eternal peace was never a real possibility and finally let's cover the most interesting scenario yet.
Second Scenario - Where would the story go?
Here Eren Yeager will embody his true character of villain the one we see throughout the final season of Attack on Titan during this season Eren Yeager seemed like someone who was fully engrossed in his Ambitions to the point that he became a completely different person however in the end during his conversation Ymir. We learned that Eren Yeager did this because he wanted to carry all the burden by himself so his friends could be free.
In this scenario, he'll stay true to his villain character and will take the whole burden of destroying the world on his shoulders. We can agree that Eren's actions near the end of the show were questionable but his main goal was always to Grant his people something he could never achieve Freedom with no guilt. After destroying the entire world Eren Yeager would use his powers to make one final decision to completely wipe away memories of all subjects of Ymir.
He would make sure that no one remembers the rumbling in the outside world, completely freeing them from all terrible things such as war and conflicts. This will allow Eldians to freely explore the world like Eren Yeager always wanted to do with Armin and Mikasa granting them true Freedom.
King Fritz tried to do something similar in the past when he created the walls and brought his people to Paradise silent. However in this case there were still a bunch of threats outside the walls like Titans Marley and pretty much the whole world Eren Yeager’s decision although similar has a much better chance of succeeding and bringing peace to his people ultimately.
Eren Yeager would also free everyone from the curse of Eren and the power of Titans ensuring that history never repeats itself again wiping the memories will help Eren Yeager blend in with everyone and try to live a normal life however as the sole bearer of his terrible actions and memories off Reny lost it's unlikely that he'll ever be truly happy.
