Sculpting New Titans

The next day, sunlight had already begun spilling across the land.

Inside the tent, Eren woke amid overlapping fair arms. After getting up and washing, he prepared to begin the day's work.

He was going to visit the church today. The severely wounded brought back two days earlier were probably nearing death, so he planned to go to the church shortly and turn them into Pure Titans.

There were already quite a few Pure Titans now. This time, he wanted to see whether he could sculpt some Colossal Titans.

After breakfast, Eren left his tent and had a female soldier bring his horse over. Then he swung into the saddle and headed for the Church of the Giants with a squad of female guards.

The Church of the Giants was not far from Eren's tent. About ten minutes on horseback would bring its tent into view.

The church's tent was an oversized one Eren had specially ordered his subordinates to make. It could accommodate up to five hundred people praying, offering supplications, and studying doctrine.

Eren rode up to the Church of the Giants' tent and saw a flag standing before it. The flag was black, bearing an emblem modeled on the head of Eren's Titan form. The emblem was primarily red, embellished with gold thread.

After dismounting, Eren entered the church tent. At the very back stood a small statue. Its pedestal was one meter tall, and the statue on top was two meters tall, making three meters altogether. That was also the height the tent could accommodate; anything taller would not fit.

The statue had also been sculpted in the likeness of Eren's Titan form, depicting the Titan throwing a javelin.

Its powerful right arm extended straight back to the side, holding a javelin ready to throw, while its left arm stretched forward toward its target. Eren had formed the entire statue directly with his Hardening ability.

The crystalline statue shimmered with rainbow colors in the sunlight, looking like a god descending to earth.

Below the statue were simple beds made from straw mats. The severely wounded who had been brought back lay on them, their lives temporarily sustained by various medicines administered by the nuns as they awaited Eren's arrival.

Of course, even with the nuns using medicine to keep them alive temporarily, some had injuries so severe that they died despite treatment.

The Mother Superior was changing a severely wounded patient's dressings when he happened to see Eren arrive, so he temporarily handed the task over to a young nun studying beside him.

The church had expanded considerably by now. Quite a few Dothraki women no longer wanted to fight, so Eren had sent them straight to the church to begin learning how to be nuns.

In their daily lives, they not only had to accompany the others from the church to preach and study doctrine, but also learn basic medical skills, such as bandaging injuries and changing dressings.

The Mother Superior approached Eren, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for failing your trust. Quite a few of the severely wounded have died because their injuries were too serious. There are 243 left now."

Eren understood when he heard this. "You're not to blame. They were already badly injured. It's perfectly normal for them to die."

"But have these severely wounded taken outside first. I'm going to bestow my blessing on them."

Upon hearing Eren's words, the Mother Superior immediately instructed the nuns under her to summon some Dothraki warriors on duty around the church.

The nuns brought back the Dothraki warriors they had summoned and carried the severely wounded out to the open ground outside.

Then they organized people to bring over some flatbed wagons and transport the severely wounded outside the camp.

After all, Eren intended to sculpt Colossal Titans this time, and there simply was not enough room in the camp.

Moreover, he needed to sculpt enough Colossal Titans, so they could only find a way to move the severely wounded outside the camp.

Eren rode out of the camp with the Mother Superior.

He watched the Dothraki warriors transport the wounded outside in batches. Once all the wounded had been moved outside the camp, Eren's consciousness entered the Coordinate Space. There were already quite a few fifteen-meter Pure Titans, enough for both everyday fighting and hauling goods.

This time, he planned to sculpt some colossal Pure Titans in the Coordinate Space.

After reaching Pentos, he intended to found a nation there, and founding a nation also meant he would have to start building his own castle and palace.

He planned to build a ring of walls around his castle, separating it from the outside world, with the castle's grounds serving as the inner city and the area beyond as the outer city.

This was also to ensure that if enemies ever broke into the city, he could continue defending from the inner city's walls. Although he held the Power of the Giants and it was virtually impossible for anyone to invade, having such tall walls in the center of the city was itself a symbol of power.

Building these walls would require Colossal Titans. Eren planned to reproduce the walls from the Attack on Titan manga, using the Colossal Titans' Hardening as the foundation and then covering the exterior with stone and brick.

This time, Eren planned to sculpt some sixty-meter Colossal Titans in the Coordinate Space. He could then use ten meters as the foundation and fifty meters as the wall itself, creating walls fifty meters high.

Eren controlled the people within the Coordinate Space. Many warriors had died in the recent conflict with Drogo, bringing quite a few new guests to this world.

Eren was delighted by their arrival, since he now had more free labor. He happened to need over two hundred Colossal Titans sculpted this time, and their arrival would help advance this enormous project.

For these dead people within the Coordinate Space, Eren first used the Coordinate's ability to immerse their consciousnesses in beautiful dreams of Valhalla. He also connected them to a local network so they could meet their fallen comrades.

Eren then drove the empty shells left in the Coordinate Space to sculpt Colossal Titans. He planned to give these Colossal Titans some new designs.

This time, Eren wanted to see whether he could sculpt an Ultraman model in the Coordinate Space, so he directly controlled some of the people and had them start with the original Ultraman, whose suit was also the simplest.

Before long, Ultraman's form was nearly complete: the signature egg-shaped eyes, a raised ridge on the head, and a round light between powerful pectoral muscles.

Its appearance was much like the one Eren had watched before, only in statue form. But Eren also thought of a fatal problem: the Titans he sculpted had no suits, which meant their texture was somewhat different from the Ultraman he had watched before.

After all, the Titans he sculpted wore no clothes, making them a little uglier than Ultraman in a suit.
