The Newbie God Is Summoning Heroes From Earth [World Creation/ Management]

Chapter 75. Birth Of Hand Grenade



Inside the Divine Space.

After three days passed, there were only a few minutes left before the world finished upgrading. Cedric recalled all of his clones and waited for the Crystal Cube world to complete its upgrade.

While recalling his experience in the world, Cedric checked the amount of stability remaining.

[Stability: 8%
Note: Please stop intervening when your world's stability has reached 5%, as it might cause lasting damage to your world that'll continue even after the upgrade process has been completed.]

While experiencing life through his clone, Cedric has been constantly monitoring the stability count.

From the initial 36 percent stability, 24 are spent due to the clones. On average, the three-day stay in the Crystal Cube world cost him 8 percent stability per clone.

It's almost double the amount that the System initially estimated. Perhaps because he often casually talked through the clone.

As for the remaining four percent,
The decrease came from writing the two books that he gave to Merthyr.

Cedric didn't know how the decrease in stability was counted. But, the books containing level 2 wind element training method cost him less stability than the Book of Forgotten History.

Thinking back to the book of forgotten history, Cedric felt a bit melancholic.

At first, he only planned to possess the clones he created and experience life in the Crystal Cube world just like what the System has suggested.

But when he heard Yuma, Tsukiko, and the other's name that had been thoroughly erased from history, Cedric decided to intervene.

No matter what, they are still people who have greatly contributed to the advancement of his world.

That's why he created the book. He even crafted it with the strongest but flexible metal in the world. This way, the book won't be able to be destroyed anytime soon.

Furthermore, he also added warnings about the danger of war and the demon king, which is one of the reasons he decided to leave the book.

While Cedric is lost in thought, his world finally finishes upgrading.

[Congratulations, your world has finished upgrading.]

[Warning, world stability has stopped being strengthened and has returned to normal.]

[Removing temporary stability meter function.]

Once the notifications were gone, Cedric checked the Crystal Cube world.

Inside the world, except for a few creatures who Cedric's clone has gotten close with. The three missing clones didn't cause much ripple to the world.

At most, the dwarves will start creating cannons and guns much earlier than they should've been because of his accidental slip of the tongue.

As for the elves, he didn't control his clone to cause much trouble there.

Perhaps, only the books he left in the human kingdom might cause a surprise. It's just, that whether the surprise will be something good or bad is something he is unsure of.

With his attention in the Crystal Cube world, Cedric focused on the elf village where his clone had visited and saw the familiar Vilina.

Except for occasionally going into a daze as she recalled Cedric's elven clone. Vilinia has returned to her usual routine before meeting him.

Seeing Vilinia didn't fall into sadness because he left, Cedric felt relieved. 'Well, it's good that Vilinia only has a bit of a crush on me. Otherwise, I might not be able to leave her alone.'

Even if it's just a clone he possessed, Vilinia is still the first woman who has a crush on him, whether it's on Earth or in other worlds.

While he is reminiscing, the System suddenly makes a noise to jab at him.

[What a pitiful single man.]

"Shut up." Cedric waved at the virtual system screen to shoo away the System that didn't know about other's privacy.

With the System making him lose the mood to reminisce, Cedric decided to check the situation in the elf queen's village.

There, the elf queen has gathered many elves to share the training method engraved on the stele.

During the three days he has spent experiencing the world, the elf queen has been busy testing the credibility of the training method engraved in the stone stele.

Every elf leader rose to their position through silly competition like sculpting, weaving leaves, or singing and dancing. All of them always took their responsibility seriously.

The same is true with the current elf queen.

She was the first one to test the training method and only called elves from nearby villages once she indeed felt her power being strengthened after following the training method engraved on the stone stele.

Seeing the situation in the elven territory has progressed nicely, Cedric moved his mental power to the Silver Hope city to check on Merthyr.

Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings.

Currently, Merthyr has closed the store and searched around the city for his trace.

'It seems he is incredibly surprised by the book I give.'

Cedric watched Merthyr searching for him for a whole day, and only planned to stop once he saw Merthyr finding the inn he once stayed in.

With how anxious, excited, and fearful his expressions are, Cedric thinks Merthyr might've guessed his identity.

When Cedric saw Merthyr exiting the inn building with a disappointed expression, he slightly grinned. 'Messing with others is pretty fun. Who asked you to doubt my word.'

[What a petty person.]

The System once again tried to increase its presence.

"You're wrong, I am not a petty person." Cedric immediately shook his head and denied the System's accusations.

[No matter how the System sees it, you're messing with that pitiful guy out of spite.]

"Well, I never said I am not petty. I just want to correct you that I am not a petty person, but a petty god."

[...]

Ignoring the System that seems to have crashed, Cedric moved his mental power to observe the dwarves.

The situation in the dwarf's magic mountain is still normal. There are dwarves busy mining to collect metals, dwarves who are busy forging new metals, and dwarves who are busy causing explosions.

Except for their normal activities, the dwarf council is also busy testing the training method he has engraved on the stone stele near their council building.

Currently, the blessed that has joined the dwarf council has been spread to different areas to test the training methods.

Some water element blessed went to rivers to train, those with earth elements trained while inside their mining tunnel, and those who hadn't found a suitable place are still traveling around to look for a suitable place.

The dwarves blessed with water element and earth element quickly returned to the council building once they indeed felt their power increasing after using the training method.

The returning dwarf blessed immediately acknowledged the content of the stone stele.

After a discussion, the dwarf council decided to spread the training technique written in the stele to every dwarf blessed and strengthen the overall strength of the dwarves.

Once he saw the dwarf had indeed started spreading the training method, Cedric observed the situation in other dwarf cities and stopped in the city that his clone had visited before.

With just a simple glimpse inside the familiar city, Cedric quickly found several dwarves working together to craft what he assumed to be a cannon barrel.

Most of the dwarves involved are faces he is familiar with.

They're his drinking buddy, and also the tavern patron who has exited the tavern after he talked about cannon and guns.

Amidst the clanging sound inside the dwarf's workshop, cannon parts are being built and combined at incredible speed.

Soon, several prototype cannons with varying forms were built. Next to those prototype cannons, there are also some cannonballs of varying sizes and what can be assumed as gunpowders.

The dwarves who had finished their work excitedly left the forge to test their newly developed cannon in the city.

Seeing the sight of several dwarves bringing several unknown metal pieces of equipment, the surrounding dwarves began to gather around them in curiosity.

One of the dwarfs that Cedric is acquainted with is the first one to test a cannon.

After placing the cannonball inside the cannon, he placed gunpowders into a hole in the cannon before plugging a fuse made with dried wood that had been fitted with some gunpowders.

After igniting the end of the fuse, the dwarf, together with the other dwarves who had created the cannons, quickly ran away.

Seeing the dwarves that ran away, the surrounding spectators also follow suit.

All of them had seen the dwarf placing gunpowder inside the cannon and knew it'll explode soon.

The moment the fuse finally triggered the gunpowders stored inside the cannon. It caused a massive explosion that knocked the heavy cannonball a few meters away.

But at the same time, the cannon barrel crafted by the dwarves also exploded. The cannon barrel's unplanned explosion caused the cannonball to only fly for a short moment.

Luckily, the dwarves have run away from the center of the explosion. Even though the explosion caused many sharp metal fragments to shoot out from the cannon barrel's location, there were no deaths or injuries among the dwarves.

The first failure didn't cause the other dwarves to feel disappointed. Instead, they started the next experiment with even more vigor.

Once all prototype cannon barrels had been launched, the dwarves who created the cannons began to discuss.

"Although all of the cannon has either exploded after launch or failed to gather enough force to launch the cannon too far, we've gathered enough data to conclude that it's indeed possible to create this cannon."

"Indeed. The strength of this cannonball is also pretty incredible."

Another dwarf nodded, " Although the cannon ball's destructive power is lower than directly causing an explosion with the explosive powder. But, it can achieve attack over a long distance, which is extremely beneficial in defending the city against magical beasts."

" The only problem now is to stop the cannon barrel from exploding while generating enough force to launch the cannonball at the same time."

"Perhaps we should try to pierce a hole in the back to decrease the explosive force?"

"But it'll also decrease the explosive force and make it unable to push the cannonball as intended."

The dwarves discussed for a long time before gathering their best metal to reforge a new cannon.

Some of the dwarves who have watched their cannon test also got interested and wished to join in the fun.

It caused the number of dwarves to experiment on the cannon to further increase.

Inside their workshop, the dwarves started gathering their precious secret metal alloy as a material.

They forged different alloys into the same hollow ball-shaped metal. Then, they placed some gunpowders and fuse to test the alloy's resistance to explosions.

They do so to test which metal has the highest resistance against explosions.

Most of the metal failed the test and immediately exploded into fragments that injured several dwarves. While the ones that passed the explosion resistance test are recorded for further testing.

While conducting those tests, one of the dwarves saw one of the failed experiments and seemed enlightened, "This explosive hollow metals… I think they can also be used as weapons."

The surrounding dwarves heard his input and thought for a moment before nodding.

One dwarf even added, "Perhaps we can change the solid cannonball with this explosive hollow metal ball to add explosive properties to the cannonball."

The surrounding dwarf's eyes lit up upon hearing that suggestion.

And so, the dwarves split their research team into two.

Most of them continued to experiment with creating cannons. While a few started an experiment to craft the even more dangerous explosive hollow ball.

Cedric who saw all that in the Divine Space has been dumbfounded since long ago.

"WTF?! They created hand grenades already?"

[Actually, not only hand grenades. If this goes on, the dwarves will be able to create cannon shells that can explode soon.]

Although he is the one who introduced the concept of the cannon to the dwarf, Cedric still can't believe it actually bore fruit so quickly.

'I guess I've been underestimating the dwarf's talents.' Cedric thought while trying to suppress the uncomfortable feeling caused by introducing such a killing weapon to the world.

[Well, look at the bright side. At least the dwarf in your world is pretty peace-loving.]

Cedric nodded his head upon hearing the System's attempt at calming him down.

It's truly a life-saving grace that the dwarves in his world rarely fought against each other.

Compared to the humans who started a large-scale battle at every chance they got. The dwarves are just nerds who love metals and explosions.

Cedric continued to watch the dwarf's experiments, 'If this goes on, the dwarf will be able to deal with the NE infected ant queen that I sent to pressure them to level up.'
