However, what happened next was somewhat beyond my expectations.
The electrons colliding back and forth actually began to slowly connect to one another. As the current began to make contact, I suddenly
noticed that the electricity was starting to take on
a plasma-like form, and began connecting to each other. The light grew brighter and brighter, and a strong heat was clearly building all around us!
The moment I saw this, I jolted awake and instinctively flew out of the ball of plasma. Immediately afterward, it began to condense, while absorbing the electricity in the sky. Lightning struck it with crackling booms, but instead of making the massive ball of plasma expand...
it began to shrink!
Wait... was this nuclear fusion?!
At that moment, the rain all around us also began gathering rapidly around the plasma. I didn't know whether this was nuclear fusion or not, but I had a bad feeling.
I spun around, no longer caring about the bugs, and rapidly descended, flying straight to Gin-san and landing on top of his head.
"Move! Gin-san, faster! Go!"
As I watched the plasma shrink little by little, I felt more and more uneasy. The rain around it had stopped in midair, as if drawn there by a powerful magnetic force!
Time seemed to stretch endlessly in that instant. But when the plasma, which had originally been more than ten meters across, shrank to less than a meter, a flash of light suddenly blazed out!
"Zzz—BOOM!"
I instinctively squeezed my eyes shut. Then a powerful wave of heat surged toward us. Almost without thinking, I flattened myself against Gin-san's head, and the armor on my back took the full force of the heat. The rain in the air evaporated in an instant, and then a deafening explosion rang out across
