i hope there is more, but if this is the end it's pretty satisfying.

I was expecting a nuke or a meteor-level bombardment or something, not a dang antimatter bomb lmao.
Same tbh. I thought he'd add mass to the pebble, toss it into space and then drag it back down with magic

Hopefully this isn't the last we see of this, but I'm not holding my breath...

As for the antimatter bomb, I feel like it was less powerful than it should have been, but not by much... afaik, 1kg of matter that gets annihilated with 1kg of antimatter in a perfect matter to energy conversion would have an output of 180 petajoules, around 43 megatons of TNT, a bit less than the Tsar Bomba yield of 27,000kg (damn that energy efficiency sure is crazy huh).
Still, unlike an hydrogen bomb, and I guess thanks to magic, the area of effect gets concentrated to just the city's border, liquifying everything within its range... though I guess in this case it would be more like crystalizing.
Wish we could see more of this kind of mix between magic and science, since things can get pretty crazy with weird materials combined with the law breaking properties of magic... Planck matter sword anyone? It only has a weight of 5.155 x (10^93) g/cm^3, slap in some anti gravity magic and a bit of space-time correction magic and you're good to go! A single swing can effectively annihilate an entire planet! Not OP at all.
it's important to remember that most of the fissile material in nuclear bombs don't actually go off. Something like 14% of the nukes dropped on Japan actually went critical. Antimatter, however, would always react. Unlike nuclear bombs if the explosion pushes away the other material, it would still react with air/whatever.

So yes, an anti-matter bomb of that mass would have a wildly bigger explosion. Not to mention that most of the destruction of bombs of that magnitude are from the shockwaves, not the initial fireball. In general, if you can see the explosion of the nuke, you're not getting away unscathed.

When I read the chapter it wasn't tagged as the end so I still held a little bit of hope...

Such a shame only the mangas I truly enjoy end up getting axed/used as promo material

Thanks for the scanlation!

The drip keeps getting better and better. I really hate that this was a novel ad, but at the same time it worked. Off to the novel, I guess

Huh…so we basically got a Square Enix demo (a long-ass prologue/tutorial ch before title drop)

One of the other things to consider I'd the location if the explosion. Since it went off on the ground, it actually reduced the destruction. Nukes are set off as either ground burst or air burst. An air burst is more destructive because the shock wave will bounce off the ground and compound with the rest of it, making it more devastating. Ground burst is only worse with a regular nuke because it will throw more contaminated material into the air, but it's destructive capabilities are less.

I thought this was a good ending, kinda tied everything up neatly? It's nice when manga end like this and don't just go on for hundreds of chapters losing sight of the original concept... also I don't know what conflict they could realistically experience at this point

Ohboi.... Someone who doesn't understand physics....

There were only two nuclear bombs dropped on Japan. That was.... enough....
As far as efficiency... post-calculation showed that about 14% of the fissile material did not do whatt it was supposed to do. Due to Whatevers, possibly Quantum.
( some of the best Mushroom pictures are from surface bomb tests that did.... unexpectedly well... Especially the fission bombs turned out to be.... tricky...)

Fact is that those two bombs were 85% energy-efficient with that roughly-14%-waste. That's an awful lot of energy released in an instant. Impressively scary, if you realise how much energy was involved there.
Or if you don't.... It left shadows of the people vaporised... Bit of a sad tourist attraction...

Can someone give me spoiler what happens next in the novel? Will the human keep trying to kill him or there's someone actually trying to talk to him?
