title drop, the end?
Same tbh. I thought he'd add mass to the pebble, toss it into space and then drag it back down with magicI was expecting a nuke or a meteor-level bombardment or something, not a dang antimatter bomb lmao.
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.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.
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.Hopefully this isn't the last we see of this, but I'm not holding my breath...

Go to the novel updates link on the manga page and you can read the light novel. It's got like 100+ chapters as of right now.I hope this does not mean it is ending?
Ohboi.... Someone who doesn't understand physics....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.
