Since the stones crack straight through, it's likely the entire slab that's bending, and unless the material you're "repairing" with is extremely plastic, it will probably just detach from the edges or look messy. I'm doubtful that any form of repair can make it look better. Is there a tree nearby that could have a root growing underneath? Something must be causing part of the ground to rise/lower.
Since it looks like the crack starts at the fence attachment (also on the other side that is not visible in the picture), I would think that differences in expansion in the metal and the masonry have caused the cracking. In fact, it is claimed that Tec 7 should be plastic. Trees are excluded. It's a bit strange that the crack extends further over the years. One would like to believe that the stresses should have been released?

The crack growing might be frost weathering.
