The war was not over. Without the bombs it was expected to last another whole year if not longer, costing over a million combat casualties on each side. Dropping the two atomic bombs we had ready right then ended the war four days later instead of a year.
The US had another MK-III Fat Man type bomb ready four days after Japan surrendered, so it was not used. We had 20 more after that scheduled in the production pipeline for 1945 (no idea about 1946), if Japan refused to surrender.
