To create a nuclear weapon, the first step is to get a weapon-grade uranium... seeing as you are searching this online, you don’t have any weapon-grade uranium lying in your house... and if there is, I highly recommend you don’t breathe in that house anymore.

The real question is how to obtain, or rather create, a weapon-grade uranium. Well, follow these steps, and you can have some for yourself.

The first step is creating a centrifuge capable of spinning not only at terrifying speeds but also with extreme accuracy—

’What is a centrifuge...’ Marking the word to research about it later, Dhruv questioned this and was about to resume his learning when a sudden headache appeared.

His head felt like getting hit by a hammer over and over again. His ears began buzzing, as a wave of nausea ran rampant. Clutching his head, Dhruv grimaced in pain, feeling something missing.

’Mana its getting dangerously low...’ Quickly, closing his eyes, he deactivated the skill and appeared back on his throne.

Gasping for air, Dhruv clutches his chest trying to stop his racing heart. The lack of mana forced the core to suck mana out of his blood, resulting in his brain shutting down.

’Calm down... calm down...’

Calming himself down, Dhruv took a few deep breaths and began meditating.

Eventually, the balance was restored, and the mana had regenerated enough for the core to leave his brain alone. Only after a few minutes did Dhruv heave a sigh of relief.

’Shit... Man, that was too dangerous... This skill suck mana too much, and too quickly. I have to keep in mind the decreasing mana level while operating it...’

Despite the danger to his life, a smile was blooming over his face.

’It was a fucking success...’

Dhruv didn’t really want to build a nuclear weapon—not that he would refuse the chance if it were possible. With his level of intelligence, creating something like that was nearly impossible anyway. What he truly wanted to know was whether the knowledge of all humanity was really within his reach or not.

Even with his perfect memory, he was limited to the things he had learned... which wasn’t great to be honest. All his experiences were in fighting, and even that was the dogfight kind.

But now, with the entirety of humanity’s knowledge alongside the wonders of magic, he could build an army with such discipline and training that could rival anything that this world has seen.

Not only that. Imagine if he created a weapon... a gun in a world where people still relied on bows, then who would be able to stop him?

’I can’t even imagine what someone of Lucian’s brilliance could do with this sort of knowledge.’ Dhruv smirked, remembering the only limitation the skill has: his mana level.

’I have to find a way to improve my mana efficiency... I have to train my magic as well.’ Thinking, Dhruv checked his mana level. Now it has regenerated quite a bit.

As his thought wondered about the magic training, something clicked inside his little head.

’Although I’ve rot manipulation... how do I actually cast spells out of it. There wasn’t any guide in it... Hello cube... no, hello god sir... can I have a guide?’

Dhruv prayed, but as usual, no reply came from above.

’Huh! Nothing strange here at least. Even in my last world, gods often ignored the prayer of those in need.’ Chuckling, he was about to think of a way when something whispered in his head.

It was the voice of a dead god, but a sound full of lust and greed.

[Master... complete.]

It was the voice of the Matriarch informing him that the goblins had sorted out the battlefield.

[What about the ones in the tunnels?]

[That... yes]

[Okay... wait, I’m coming.]

Putting the training in the back of his head, he activated the skill and teleported right in the middle of the jungle.

As Dhruv looked around, all he found were black and broken trees, ruined by the spell. Even now, smoke drifted through the hot air while ashes covered the ground like gray snow.

The smell of burning wood and flesh lingered everywhere as Dhruv considered himself lucky, having survived the blast, "Fucking hell... how did I survive this...’

’It’s a good thing they’re only Tier 1, or I really would have had to kill them. This much power is too dangerous for this dungeon when there is no one to stop it...’

As he thought about it, the scene of his betrayal played in front of him.

’Should kill them now? I wouldn’t lose anything anyway. I still have to send Lucian outside, and at this point, they’re no longer of much use to me.’ Sighing, Dhruv contemplated whether to kill them or not.

On one hand, he wanted to trust them and believe they would do nothing reckless, but expecting them to value his trust would be foolish. After being betrayed once already, Dhruv no longer wanted to take unnecessary chances.

"Master...look.." While he was organizing his thoughts, the goblin blacksmith came to try to show him something.

Nodding his head, he followed the monster as it pointed at something on the ground.

"Ash?... With such fire around, there was bound to be some ash... what’s so special about it?" Looking at the monster, he asked.

"Not ash!! Book I picked... ash." The monster said, trying to convey his feelings.

Frowning, he stared at the formation of ash on the ground, and sure enough, it was in the shape of a book. Dhruv slowly bent down to inspect it, but the moment his fingers touched the ash, it scattered into the air like dust.

’Wasn’t this the item... Michael was using?’

After thinking for a moment, Dhruv guessed the item had burned out from excessive use, and he explained the same thing to the monster.

The blacksmith quickly nodded and pointed toward the remaining pile of items. Other than their clothes, the blacksmith had stripped everything from them.

It was the right call. If Dhruv hadn’t warned them, the monster would’ve definitely stripped them naked. And once the goblins saw exposed bodies, their minds would’ve been consumed by lust.

Without even realizing it, Dhruv had prevented something truly horrible from happening.

’How do I transport this...’ Dhruv wondered after realizing that Teleport only worked on living beings.

After thinking for a while, he finally found a way around the problem. Turning toward the goblins, he ordered, "Everyone, carry as many corpses as you can."

The goblins quickly got to work, and before long, nearly all of them were carrying two corpses each, one over each shoulder.

After gathering them close, Dhruv activated the skill and instantly appeared in the center of the core room. One by one, he placed the human bodies beside the core and sacrificed them, turning every one of them into dungeon points.

[You have earned...]

[...]

[...]

Now, it was the goblins’ turn.

’Let’s see whether the dungeon is on our side or not...’ Thinking that, he dragged a goblin warrior beside the core.

Instantly, a notification appeared before him.

[Core detected in the sacrifice.]

[Please choose an option:]

→ Codex

→ Equivalent Exchange]

A smile slowly spread across Dhruv’s face as his eyes locked onto the first option. The moment he selected it, the goblin’s body broke apart into glowing particles, vanishing into the core.

Another notification soon appeared before him, showing him the process.

[Goblin: 2%]

’Fifty more to go...’

It took several trips through the jungle, but in the end, the task was finally complete. Dhruv’s lips curled upward on their own as a faint whisper echoed inside his ears.

[Congratulations. You can now summon Tier 2 Goblins.]
