Seeing the Armored Titan, covered head to toe in dark gray armor, Kiyan instantly felt a sense of dread. He quickly looked behind him and, sure enough, there was the gate of Wall Maria.
Kiyan had been so absorbed in the joy of digging blocks and scavenging trash that he had completely forgotten to pay attention to his location.
The Armored Titan before him had another nickname: the Gate Titan. The Wall Maria gate behind Kiyan was precisely the reason he had earned that name.
Looking at the fortress-like Armored Titan, Kiyan prepared to get out of the way. However, the Armored Titan didn't give him any time to escape.
When Kiyan turned back to look at it, he saw the Armored Titan had already assumed a sprinting stance. Its powerful physique and the muscle lines, still visible beneath the armor, all spoke to its immense strength, far surpassing that of an ordinary Titan.
As the Armored Titan finished building up power, the fortress before Kiyan shot forward like an arrow released from a bow.
Kiyan watched the Armored Titan's figure grow larger and larger in his vision, and he frantically placed a large number of blocks in front of himself.
But the Armored Titan's eyes never once focused on the insect at its feet. At this moment, it had only one target: the gate.
The Garrison soldiers guarding the gate also spotted the Armored Titan and hurriedly began a fierce bombardment. However, the powerful artillery shells did absolutely nothing to the Armored Titan.
Ignoring the baptism of cannon fire, the Armored Titan charged straight for the gate.
Boom!
With a deafening explosion, Paradis Island's first line of defense, Wall Maria, officially fell.
The thick gate couldn't stop the Armored Titan, and neither could Kiyan's hastily placed blocks. In front of the Armored Titan, those blocks weren't even a speed bump.
By this time, Kiyan had already returned to the Overworld.
Although the Armored Titan was jokingly called the Gate Titan, Kiyan knew his own limits. He was nothing compared to the gate. A single hit from the Titan Dina had left him with only two hearts. If he got hit by the Armored Titan, that would be "hitting the jackpot."
So, the moment the Armored Titan charged, he had quickly teleported back.
Looking at the grass block beneath his feet, Kiyan slowly let out a breath of relief.
"Hit the jackpot. I can declare this skyblock run complete."
Looking at the materials in his backpack, Kiyan quickly put down a workbench and made two wooden chests. He didn't relax until he had transferred everything from his backpack into the chests. After all, he hadn't enabled "Keep Inventory." If he slipped and fell into the void, today's work would have been for nothing.
He lay on the grass block for a rest, but soon stood up again. Although his Steve body didn't get tired, experiencing so much in one go was mentally exhausting.
Looking at the empty Overworld, Kiyan immediately crafted some slabs and expanded the platform.
"There. Now I don't have to worry about slipping into the void."
Kiyan not only expanded the platform but also planted all the saplings. The resources in his backpack were now almost gone.
Kiyan wiped away the non-existent sweat and looked at his empty inventory bar, but his heart was full of joy.
This is the empire I built!
"Next up, the mob farm."
No sooner said than done. Kiyan skillfully constructed the mob farm. In the process, he returned to the Titan world several times to dig up building blocks. During this, he discovered a major problem.
The time flow between the Overworld and the Titan world was not synchronized.
After repeated testing, Kiyan concluded that the time flow between the two worlds was completely chaotic. In short, there was no function that could describe it. It was possible that one second in the Overworld was a day in the Titan world. It was also possible that a day passed in the Overworld, and not even a second had passed in the Titan world.
Kiyan could do nothing about this. All he could do was seal the gates that the Colossal and Armored Titans had destroyed to reduce the number of Titans getting in. This was the most he could do for now.
Faced with this chaotic time flow, Kiyan chose to just roll with it. Since he couldn't change it, he had to accept it.
There was one silver lining, however. There were still five years until the main plot of the Titan world began. As long as the time flow wasn't too outrageous during this period, Kiyan would have the chance to go back in fully enchanted diamond armor and change that world.
The mob farm was successfully built, and it was a water-flow-based design. Kiyan didn't need to craft cauldrons and pray for rain to get water like in a normal skyblock. He could just go to the Titan world and get some. Water taken from the Titan world in an iron bucket was no longer part of that world; it became Minecraft water.
The water-flow mob farm was highly efficient. Kiyan soon collected a large amount of materials: spicy strips, iron ingots, carrots, potatoes, bones, arrows, bows, string, spider eyes, gunpowder, glass bottles, redstone dust, glowstone dust...
Soon, the two chests were full.
Kiyan also used the gold ingots from the Titan world to craft two Golden Apples and successfully cured two Zombie Villagers.
Next up was the villager breeder.
Using the bonemeal from the mob farm, Kiyan quickly grew a large number of carrots and fed them to the villagers.
"Now, I'll leave it to time."
He only had two villagers at the moment, so Kiyan had to feed them himself to get them to breed. But as long as he got more, he could build an automatic breeder and free up his labor.
Just as Kiyan was quietly waiting for the villagers to multiply, another wooden door appeared next to the one for the Titan world.
"!? Another challenger?"
Kiyan studied the new door, his mind racing with guesses as to which world lay behind it.
"It would be great if it was an eroge world."
With his mind full of lewd thoughts, Kiyan completely forgot he couldn't even take his pants off. Going into an eroge world would probably just get him cuckolded.
Faced with the new door, Kiyan immediately set off on his journey.
After another dizzying spin, Kiyan smoothly arrived in the new world.
This time, however, Kiyan had no way of determining what world it was. He had appeared in a dense forest. Besides trees, there were more trees. It was nothing like the Titan world, where he could see a landmark building just by looking up.
Kiyan quickly gave up thinking. He couldn't confirm anything based on just these trees. Rather than waste time guessing, he might as well chop down a few.
Kiyan immediately took out his iron axe and walked toward the surrounding trees. This was a natural tree farm. It would be a waste not to chop some.
Just as Kiyan was preparing his axe, he suddenly felt the world spin.
Realizing something was wrong, Kiyan quickly looked at his status bar.
