In Warhammer, My System is Minecraft-Chapter 176: Ender Dragon Titan
"Give me some time to prepare." Leaving this sentence with Zeke, Guilliman hurriedly returned to Terra.
"When you're ready, remember to come find me. With the Lion as the Lord Protector of Imperium Secundus, I believe you two will reconcile."
While on Iax, Zeke first dug three feet deep, uprooting the plague factory entirely before following in Guilliman's footsteps back to Terra.
He first visited Bela's garden, strolled around twice, and took two potted flowers.
One was a golden dandelion that could restore creatures to, and maintain them in, a juvenile state; certain elderly and frail individuals would definitely love it.
The other pot was the key to Zeke's next plan.
Zeke secretly arrived on Archmagos Cawl's ship and asked how the Titan construction was coming along.
"Constructing a Titan takes years and requires the concerted effort of all the Magi of an entire Forge World..." Archmagos Cawl said while analyzing some Necron technology provided to him.
"I'm sure you've already found a way, right, Archmagos Cawl?"
"Of course. Nothing can stump me." Archmagos Cawl handed Zeke a blueprint detailing a combat Titan.
"Titan construction technology is held tightly by those high-ranking Magi, who naturally are unwilling to hand it over. Fortunately, with the pressure of the Imperial Regent and the temptation of Necron technology, I successfully managed to get a copy."
Zeke opened the blueprint. Recorded on it was a drastically altered Warlord-class Titan.
As one of the most numerous Titans equipped by the Imperium, the Warlord-class wasn't quite as awe-inspiring as the most powerful Emperor-class Titan, but it was a whole tier higher than the standard Warhound-class Titan.
It belonged to the 'above passing grade, approaching excellent' category of Titans.
Its primary defense consisted of six void shield generators, capable of withstanding the sustained bombardment of over 50 armored vehicles.
Its weaponry was equally formidable, mounting four Titan-grade weapons along with a massive array of secondary weapons used for dense urban combat. These powerful weapons were enough to level an entire city.
"By the way, I must mention that miraculous technology of yours called 'Valkyrien Skies'. I have to say, you always manage to bring surprises, Zeke."
"This technology drastically reduces the time and difficulty of building a Titan, and it supports exaggerated modifications with an extremely high degree of freedom."
Zeke looked at the data recorded on the blueprint. Just as Archmagos Cawl had said, the Titan on it had been modified beyond recognition.
Its size had been expanded from 30 meters to a full 200 meters—much larger than even an Emperor-class Titan.
Just like in Minecraft, using dirt blocks, you could build a house as big as you wanted without it ever collapsing.
The various weapons of war built using Valkyrien Skies also wouldn't suffer from structural collapse issues.
"However, Zeke, I must ask: what is the purpose of having me reserve a massive cage right in the center?"
"A reserved spot for a good friend," Zeke replied with an ambiguous remark.
He packed all the materials provided by Archmagos Cawl into his Black Hole Talisman and hurriedly headed to The End.
–
The End.
Without the Ender Dragon, this place indeed lacked a bit of liveliness.
Using Glass, Eyes of Ender, and Ghast Tears, Zeke crafted four End Crystals. He placed them on the four corners of the Bedrock portal to resummon the Ender Dragon.
This time, Zeke's goal was not to kill it.
After a few attacks, the Ender Dragon would enter a fixed, hovering phase perched above the portal—originally intended to give players a prime opportunity to deal damage.
Zeke seized the moment the Ender Dragon hovered. He pulled out the blueprint, calibrated the position, aligned the specially reserved empty space in the chest perfectly over the Ender Dragon, and clicked confirm.
The blueprint unfolded in his hands, transforming into an overwhelming silhouette—the massive outline of a Titan.
Every single block of material neatly materialized in its corresponding position. The construction was completed in an instant, and a colossal Titan pointing towards the heavens appeared on the End island.
The Ender Dragon was awkwardly stuck in the Titan's chest.
Zeke hadn't quite estimated the position perfectly. He had to equip his Elytra, fly up into the sky, and use a wooden stick enchanted with Knockback to whack the Ender Dragon a few times, knocking it fully into the Titan.
The dragon that once dominated this End dimension was now trapped in the specially reserved cage within the Titan's chest.
Zeke flipped into the Titan's cockpit. The occasional whispers of the Endermen were isolated outside, leaving only the faint hum of the equipment running inside the cockpit.
From the cockpit, Zeke made his way down to the cage holding the Ender Dragon.
As per Zeke's request, this cage was made of transparent material and was extremely sturdy.
The Ender Dragon struggled and flapped its body. With a wingspan of about 16 meters, it frequently collided with the cage walls, even exhibiting a bit of a clipping effect.
Hehehe, Zeke chuckled, securing the Botania mod flower onto the ground.
Zeke putting an Ender Dragon inside a Titan obviously wasn't just for fun; it was to utilize the Ender Dragon's invincibility mechanics.
This flower of Zeke's was called the Hebeia, a flower capable of sharing health points among entities in its area.
It perfectly shared the health between the Ender Dragon and the Titan. Since the Ender Dragon was completely immune to damage from non-player entities, this invincibility trait was effectively shared with the Titan!
Zeke climbed back up to the cockpit. Logically speaking, a Titan required a Princeps and several Moderati working in tandem to operate.
The controller provided by the Valkyrien Skies mod solved this issue entirely. Zeke looked at the rudimentary controller in his hand, which looked just like a video game gamepad. With a 'give it a try' attitude, he gripped the joystick.
The Titan came alive.
Zeke tangibly felt his consciousness extending outward, ultimately merging into one with the Titan.
Just like riding a Strider or a Pig with a carrot on a stick, Minecraft vastly simplified the difficulty of piloting.
Looking out from the Titan's perspective, the towering obsidian pillars of The End now looked as short as fences by a dirt path.
The Endermen were currently gathering at the Titan's feet like tiny ants.
Using any artillery fire to deal with these Endermen would be highly disrespectful to the Titan.
The corners of Zeke's mouth curved up slightly. He lifted a foot. The entire leg system of the Titan began to roar, hydraulic pistons extending and joints rotating as tens of thousands of tons of weight were slowly lifted.
Stomp.
The ground beneath the foot violently caved in. The resulting shockwave spread outward, instantly one-shotting the dozens of nearest Endermen.
Enraged, more Endermen teleported and swarmed the Titan from all directions, waving their long arms in an attempt to attack it.
Here it comes. Zeke paid close attention to the Titan's health bar. It didn't drop by a single point.
It's a success! Zeke was overjoyed.
To confirm it wasn't just because the Endermen's attack power was too low, Zeke temporarily stored the potted flower back into his inventory.
Now, the Endermen could deal minor damage to the mech—just one point per hit. Very weak.
But there was an insurmountable gap between 1 and 0. Zeke re-placed the flower next to the Ender Dragon.
"Good buddy, I'm relying on you from now on!" Zeke sighed with emotion and gave the Ender Dragon a thumbs-up. The Ender Dragon glared angrily at the player who had imprisoned it.
A mouthful of Dragon's Breath was spewed violently against the cage.
Look how happy this Ender Dragon is, it's even drooling.
Zeke bid farewell to the Ender Dragon and used the Cart Assembler from the Create mod to pack the entire 200-meter Titan directly into his inventory.
