Chapter 466: Chapter 448: The Surge in Nuclear Reserves and the New Space-Time Gate! (Two in One)

Even with Lynn’s near-perfect offers of temptation, the beast remained indifferent, growling uneasily within the circle of fire, with its gaze filled with distrust.

“Why not just kill it?” Sanche grumbled angrily, forced to resist the energy waves at the cost of an arm.

In his view, though this exotic beast was somewhat useful, its threat level was simply too high. If not for Lynn’s Undying Flame having a certain restraining effect on it, they might have struggled to retreat in one piece.

Domesticating such a powerful magical beast was fraught with danger—a single mishap could result in catastrophic casualties.

Lynn, too, found himself in a quandary. After some thought, he quickly realized that the creature was interested in novel, high-energy substances it had never consumed before, so he decided to try again. Opening his hand, a lead-wrapped sphere appeared in his palm.

As the lead layer was peeled away, a beautiful “ice crystal” was revealed.

This was none other than tritium, extracted from water, cooled and preserved, and destined to be used as nuclear fusion fuel!

Like uranium, this substance was also a radioactive element, but with a much shorter half-life of only 12.43 years!

If he was not mistaken, the beast before him likely replenished its energy or grew bigger by absorbing alpha, beta, or gamma radiation emitted by radioactive materials.

Thus, tritium would undoubtedly be easier to consume than the “tough” uranium!

True to expectations, upon seeing the ice crystal materializing in Lynn’s palm, the beast immediately became restless and exhibited an intense craving for it.

Lynn smiled; it seemed there was still hope. He turned and instructed Alade,

“Go have some uranium ore brought here.”

…

For the following week, Lynn was in the Magic Crystal Mine, implementing his beast-taming plan.

Although the beast’s ability to refine ore was of great importance to them, Lynn was not about to cater to its every whim. A mix of strictness and reward was the essence of beast taming.

He had to make it clear who was the master.

Beyond that, the beast’s combat abilities were not to be underestimated. Its energy-based body possessed formidable destructive power and speed beyond the ordinary. Without the terrifying characteristics of chlorotrifluoride, Lynn truly had few options against the creature. If he could completely tame it, it would be an excellent asset against the Church.

Previously, he managed to kill the avatar of a false god by suddenly unleashing Nuclear Explosion Magic. Next time, with their guard up, it would likely not be so easy.

After a week of ‘friendly interactions,’ they finally established a rudimentary trust.

For ease of reference, Lynn even came up with a fitting name for the creature.

Since it could devour nuclear fuel and release powerful energy waves from its mouth, reminiscent of Godzilla from an ancient film in his previous life,

why not call it…

Mutuo!

Godzilla’s arch-enemy!

Of course, Lynn didn’t spend the entire seven days taming the beast; he also explored the uranium mine with Rafael and the others.

The scene inside the mine astounded Lynn—the deeper they went, the stronger the radiation and the denser the magic power, with an increasing number of Magic Crystals embedded in the rocky walls.

Even some protruding rocks began showing signs of semi-assimilation by magic power.

He quickly found the source of the radiation: numerous Demon Stones scattered throughout the mine.

Gathering them up, Lynn estimated that, based on the previous breakdown, there should be enough for five critical points of nuclear explosion.

This meant that the council could at last rise from the hardship of nuclear scarcity and stand tall with newfound leverage!

Having been released from the fire ring, Mutuo successfully regained three-quarters of its previous size after a week of uranium ore nourishment, though its ‘brain’ still couldn’t understand why these bipedal beings were so keen on collecting its excrement—with gleeful expressions no less.

Under Mutuo’s guidance, it took Lynn and his party about an hour to reach the deepest part of the mine.

Before them lay a vast cavern, over seven hundred meters in diameter, with crystalline magic stones embedded on its walls and floor that twinkled with faint blue light against the darkness.

“Tsk tsk tsk, we’re going to strike it rich!” Rafael couldn’t help but click his tongue in admiration.

The value of a magic ore mine went without saying. The reason the council chose to establish a new home in Wizard Land was precisely because they found a Magic Crystal Mine with immense reserves there.

After centuries of mining, however, the reserves were nearly depleted. If not for the war, they wouldn’t have been willing to tap into their already limited magic stone reserves.

The discovery of a new Magic Crystal Mine now was undoubtedly wonderful news!

Lynn’s gaze, however, was fixed upon a place even deeper inside the cave. Massive amounts of magic power were converging there, forming a bizarre magic power node in the very center, surrounded by a blue glow about three meters out, constantly swirling like a vortex…

Lynn knew this was a visual phenomenon caused by space-time distortion.

“Is this… a Space-Time Gate?!” Lynn’s expression was extremely solemn.

Alade and the others noticed the magic power node as well, but they were not as surprised as Lynn. After all, there was also a Space-Time Gate inside the magic stone mine of Wizard Land, and most of them, as high-level wizards, had been there before.
