Chapter 50 mOtIvaTIonaL sPEakeR (2/2)

”Win? You two must be delusional.” The afro guy seemed to be not surprised with what Alex and Alina did. He however had an interested gaze on the Star-Crusted Dagger.

”It took me only a few seconds to defeat Clint, but due to the time dilation that he did, it took me some minutes to come here.” The afro guy said as he slowly approached Alex and Alina.

The afro guy's confident demeanor showed that he was feeling that he was just here to take something that he wanted, and not to fight for his life. This of course pissed Alex off, as he felt that this gesture was extremely insulting.

”I presume that you are done with your power-ups then.” The afro guy said as he tore his gaze away from the dagger.

The afro guy started to stretch his body as he looked at Alex and Alina intently. ”Now that you are done strengthening yourselves, it will be the perfect time for me to demolish you two down. After all, seeing someone fall from their peak is a very satisfying sight to see. And you two shall be included in my this list…”

”Hmph, let us see if you can do that.” With Alex stepping on the temporary Star Esper Stage, he realized all the things that he can do with his EM Wave Manipulation Ability.

Not only that but combining his ability with Quantum Property Manipulation, and Alex felt that he and Alina might have the chance to win!

”First strike goes to me!” Alex declared as he pointed his fingers as the afro guy.

By taking advantage of his Quantum Property Manipulation and EM Wave Manipulation, Alex was able to force the creation of positrons.

Positrons, from what Alex knew, are basically the antimatter version of electrons.

Both positron and the electron has the same mass and spin, but they have opposite charges.

With Alex's abundant knowledge in physics, he knew for a fact that antimatter annihilates matter when they were in contact with each other, producing large amounts of energy in the process.

With this knowledge in mind, Alex gleefully created a kilogram of positrons within his range. Of course he made sure that these positrons will not collide against any nearby electrons at all.

Once he was sure that he had the right amount, Alex used his power to converge all these positrons towards the afro guy.

This time, Alex did not care even if the afro guy was covered with numerous amounts of electrons, and Alex made sure that the afro guy was surrounded with around a kilogram of electrons.

”Schoom!”

Alex's ears almost popped as a flash of light covered him and Alina. Alex was sure that this light waspart of the explosion, produced when 1 kilogram of positrons collided with 1 kilogram of electrons.

Alex and Alina were able to survive the blast as they used Superposition to dodge the blast.

Also, Alex made sure that the explosion will be mostlydirected above, away from the direction of Lord Ergo and Ricardo.

”D**n, this is one strong explosion.” Alex muttered to himself as he remembered the equations of showing the strength of this blast.

By following the equation E = mc2, the energy released by Alex's antimatter bomb was approximatelyaround 1.8 x 10^18 Joules or 4.3 x 10^5 Kilotons.

That was approximately around 17,200 regular nuclear bombs.

”Even if that guy was tough as hell, there is no way that he can survive that.” Alex muttered to himselfas Alina started to make her move too.

Alex was not sure what Alina did, but he was pretty sure that Alina manipulated space in terms of quantum mechanics.

Alex could see the space around the explosion folding on itself, as if it was being slowly turned inside out, then forced to be compressed.

Alex could only look with wide eyes as he saw the space collapsing inwards, bringing the explosion and everything inside it towards the center.

It took Alina a few seconds to do it, but in the end, she managed to compress the portion of space in front of her to the size of a large ball

”F**k! The afro guy is still alive after all that we did to him?” Alex exclaimed in surprise as he saw that the afro guy was inside the space ball in front of him.

The afro guy was littered with numerous injuries, but Alex could feel that the afro guy was still alive and kicking.

Alex shook his head in mild disbelief as he gave a pleading look at Alina. ”Alina, if you want to kill him, then maybe you should just make that space smaller and smaller until he gets crushed…”

”I can't compress it anymore.” Alina replied as she shook her head. Sweat beaded her face, showing how strenuous the task that she did. ”I can feel the afro guy resisting the space compression, and no matter what I do right now, I cannot force the space to compress anymore.”

”Tsk, this guy is one tough cookie.” Alex muttered as he looked at the compressed space with trepidation. ”So, we are just going to trap the afro guy here?”

”We can do that, but with our current state, we can only trap him at most 3 minutes.” Alina replied with a grimace. ”We have a time limit, right?”

”Oh f**kity, f**kity, f**k, f**k!” Alex's eyes widened with panic as he realized that they are still doomed.

With them using the Star-Crusted Dagger, Alex and Alina will be paralyzed once the 5-minute time limit is up.

Right now, there are only 3 minutes left before the time limit runs up.

Sure, both Alex and Alina were able to trap the afro guy with their current powerup.

However, once the 3-minute time limit was up, they will be unable to trap the afro guy anymore. What's worse was that they will also be unable to defend themselves at that time.

The afro guy will surely rip Alex and Alina apart 3 minutes from now.

”What do we do?” Alina asked with panic as she did her best to contain the afro guy. ”We should kill the afro guy before our last 3 minutes gets used up!”

”…Don't worry, I have a plan.” Alex serenely replied as he ignored the words coming out of Asteria's filthy mouth, which sounded like she was blaming Alex and Alina for being too 'eager to win'.

Asteria's current demeanor reminded Alex of some sports fans who will curse their favorite team just because they were about to lose.

People like those were extremely hypocritical, and Alex had no time to deal with one right now.

”Woosh~” Alex did not say anything as he suddenly flew towards Lord Ergo, who was still writhing on the ground in pain.

The disguised Ricardo was beside him, saying words of comfort, probably to ease some pain.

Ricardo sensed Alex's arrival, but before he can say anything, Ricardo's face changed as he saw Alex doing something that enraged him.

”Pyak!” Alex did not act with any respect as he started to kick Lord Ergo's body. He continued kicking him for a few more times, eliciting shocked reactions from both Alina and Ricardo,

Asteria of course enjoyed what she saw, and she even cheered as each of Alex's kick landed.

Alex ignored all of these reactions as he gave the writhing Lord Ergo a level glare while saying,

”If you don't wake up now, you will lose the chance to make up with your family.Do you want to see all your loved ones gone? If you don't… then stop being an effing coward and fight it out! Don't use your current condition to stay there! Fight for your freedom! Our lives depend on it, you dumbass!”
