Chapter 46 630 Trillion (2/2)

The hollow metal sphere that he used contained concentrated amounts of hydrogen inside it, and all that Clint did was to use weak and strong nuclear force to activate it.

By using the Strong Nuclear Force, Clint was able to force the hydrogen atoms to smash together with each other, producing large amounts of unstable Helium atoms.

As this process created an overabundance of protons, Clint then was able to use the Weak Nuclear Force to initiate beta decay on these unstable Helium atoms.

With this beta decay, the unstable Helium atoms became stabilized.

And in the process of doing this, massive amounts of energy and heat were produced, creating an explosion of energy that blasted in front of Aleksei.

This process was basically a simplified version of the thermonuclear fusion, a process which powered the stars in space.

Clint used its miniaturized version, as he knew that using the full version will be enough to destroy this world.

There is a kilogram of hydrogen inside Clint's metal sphere, which meant that the conversion from hydrogen to helium will produce around 630 trillion joules of energy, which Clint all purposely concentrated to explode on Aleksei.

”Let's see if you can survive that.” Clint thought to himself as he saw Aleksei being covered with pure heat from the explosion.

”Bzzt!” Clint then bombarded the area in front of him with countless lightning bolts just to make sure that Aleksei will be down.

After seeing that he had bombarded the possibly dead Aleksei with enough lightning bolts to power the entire world for a month, Clint stopped as he waited to see Aleksei's dead body.

Clint's attacks covered the whole area with smoke, something that Clint usually hated to see.

With Clint's scans covering the whole area, he could detect that there are no living beings near him, which could indicate that Alelksei was dead.

But Clint knew how slimy Aleksei could be, so he thought that maybe Aleksei was just faking it.

So, Clint had no choice but to use his vision in order to see where Aleksei was.

However, the smoke that he created were interfering with his ability to look around him.

”Damn smoke…” As such, Clint has no choice but to wait for the smoke to clear out before he can freely look around him.

But Clint did not have to wait that long as a glowing hand suddenly reached out from the smoke, plunging itself on Clint's left lung.

”Pfft!” Clint let out a strangled cry as he felt his left lung deflating as a large hole appeared on it.

Clint jumped backwards, allowing the glowing hand to slide off his chest.

”Hah, hah, hah.” Clint let out a wheeze as his left lung fully collapsed, only leaving his right lung functional.

”Tsk, I tried to aim for the heart, but it seems like your damage to my body jarred my aim off.” Clint heard these words as the owner of the glowing hand walked out of the smoke.

The speaker was no other than Aleksei, and he looked very much alive.

There are countless injuries on Aleksei's body, with numerous gouges and deep wounds on his body, courtesy of the attacks that Clint placed on him.

But even with these injuries, Aleksei seemed to be fine, evidenced by the way his body moved.

This realization justserved to make Clint more dismayed as he realized that he must use greater firepower in order to win against Aleksei.

”You must be wondering on how I survived that attack, right?” Aleksei mused as he let out a deep breath. ”I'm sorry, but I won't tell it to you. However, if you managed to damage me more later, then you will probably find it out for yourself.”

”In that case, I will just damage you more!”

Clint then let out a shout as he used his power to gather all the hydrogen in that the could muster inside his Range.

Clint was a 25 Star Esper, meaning that his Range covers the area 25 kilometers around him. That area was already enough for Alex to gather enough hydrogen to initiate a much powerful thermonuclear fusion.

Aleksei seems to have sensed what Clint was doing, as all that he did was to spread his arms while saying,

”Hahahaha! Come hit me more with your blasts! Let us see which one is stronger! My body or your attacks! Hahahaha! This really is fun!”

”If you can learn to shut your mouth for a minute, then maybe you will have some friends.” Clint then reached deep into his power, and after confirming that he had everything under control, he activated the fusion.

”Booom!” The resulting explosion covered the sky with a glow so bright, anyone who saw it from below were temporarily blinded.

Clint felt the superheated winds buffeting all around him as he watched for any signs of a sneak attack approaching him.

”If you are still alive, then I dare you to come and approach me.”

************************

While Clint was having his fated match with Aleksei, Alex and Alina were having their own dilemma.

Lord Ergo already arrived on his/her destination, with him/her setting down Alina and Alex on top of a small island located at the middle of the ocean.

Lord Ergo then laid down on the ground as he/she looked at Alex quietly, as if he/she was saying,

”Here, come heal me now before the crazy Lord Ergo comes out. If you don't he will surely kill you.”

Of course Alex would gladly attempt to use the computer virus ball on Lord Ergo right now, but there was one thing that was bothering him.

And that was the airship that was still following them earlier.

With his scans, Alex knew that there is only one person inside the ship, and that person was Lord Gallius.

”Tsk, and I thought this guy is on our side.”

Even though Alex was not sure what prompted Lord Gallius to ally with the afro guy, he knew that Lord Gallius must not be allowed to get near them as the process starts.

Nothing must go wrong in the process, and someone following them with ill intentions was obviously one of the objects that must stay far away.

”...”

It did not take Alex that long to come to a decision, and frankly speaking, this decision is something that Alex was perfectly fine on doing.

”Sorry Lord Gallius, but it seems like we have to chase a nuisance away.” Alex said as he and Alina stood up, with their sights concentrated on the incoming airship. ”Of course if the nuisance tries to fight back, then we will have no choice but to erase it.”

”After all, the usual solution to a problem is to make the problem disappear.”
