"Is this guy... really that persistent?"
With his arms crossed in front of him, forming a spiraling force barrier, Izuku Midoriya blocked the spreading abyssal mist. Not knowing what Shigaraki Tomura was planning, he could only focus on defense.
As for why this guy is fixated on fighting him, to be honest, Izuku Midoriya doesn't understand either. Why is Shigaraki Tomura constantly causing him trouble? Is he being ordered by Akaya Kaiun...? That might have been the case before, but now Midoriya can clearly feel that the guy standing opposite him, Shigaraki Tomura, genuinely wants to defeat him.
The surroundings were plunged into an impenetrable darkness. The dark mist released by Shigaraki Tomura instantly transformed the environment into an area even deeper than the night, devoid of any light.
Unable to see his surroundings clearly, Izuku Midoriya remained silent, his arms crossed, while the spiral barrier covering him intensified. He couldn't hear anything... he couldn't see anything... but his intuition told him that danger was lurking nearby.
The first blow was a sudden, heavy attack that came from right in front of him. It was silent and made no sound, but its power was unimaginably terrifying. The spiral force barrier formed by Izuku Midoriya actually developed huge cracks.
"This guy..."
He had no idea how Shigaraki Tomura launched his attack; the dark mist completely concealed him, like a stalker in the night, the environment hiding everything within it.
The second attack came very quickly, a sneak attack from behind Izuku Midoriya. Although the Spiral Force's full-body barrier defended against it, the terrifying power had already cracked the barrier, and another attack would shatter it completely.
"We need to get out of here!"
Realizing he couldn't continue taking hits like this, Izuku Midoriya prepared to retreat immediately, at least to escape this dark fog. He stomped his foot on the ground, ready to leap into the air.
A collision occurred, as if hitting an iron wall. Crimson Knight ZERO was unable to escape the mist, and Izuku Midoriya once again plunged headfirst into the dark abyss.
Realizing what was happening mid-air, just as Midoriya was about to use the spiral force to perform a double jump, he crashed headfirst to the ground.
"Damn it... what is that...?"
It wasn't that he bumped into some wall again, but rather that Izuku Midoriya was intercepted in mid-air by something, and was crushed to the ground by a huge, unseen creature.
The black mist still obscured his vision, but Izuku Midoriya could sense what was attacking him. The enormous thing crushing him now was a claw... a jet-black claw that only beasts possess.
“Izuku Midoriya, that person has entrusted you with an important plan and asked me to test your strength.”
"He's just a lucky brat, I'm so jealous!"
"I won't kill you as ordered by the master, but I'll make it clear to you! You just got lucky, and you're not even a fraction as good as me, Shigaraki Tomura!!"
It was a frantic roar coming from above that made Izuku Midoriya understand something. Why would Shigaraki Tomura consider him an opponent like this? Was it because Akaya Kaiun valued him so much... that he developed an extreme hatred for him?
It's not surprising that this happened. Given Akaya Kaion's methods and the length of time they've spent together, it's impossible for him not to have tricked Shigaraki Tomura into worshipping him. So it's perfectly normal for Shigaraki Tomura, who treats the League of Villains boss like a god, to feel jealous after realizing that a mere Midoriya Izuku is so highly regarded.
Originally, Shigaraki Tomura didn't think Izuku Midoriya was that powerful. After all, in his eyes, this kid was just a pawn being played by that master. Moreover, when Shigaraki Tomura transformed into Kamen Rider Kaixa, he was definitely superior to Izuku Midoriya.
But later... as Kamen Rider Faiz's power increased step by step, he directly beat Kaixa to the ground and shattered Shigaraki Tomura's confidence. From that moment on, he began to be jealous of Midoriya Izuku... Why is this guy able to gain Akaya Kaion's attention when he's just a lucky brat?
Now, Shigaraki Tomura has received new power from Akaya Kaiun. Although he is not ordered to kill Midoriya Izuku, he is prepared to torture this brat mercilessly.
"Izuku Midoriya, remember this well!"
With double the force, Shigaraki Tomura pressed down mercilessly, slamming Midoriya Izuku under his claws into the ground. He wanted to make this brat feel the pain.
"This is really troublesome..."
Unbeknownst to him, Midoriya had already escaped Shigaraki Tomura's claws. The giant drill in Crimson Knight Zero's right hand clearly indicated that he had escaped by digging a hole in the ground to escape being crushed by the claws.
"Izuku Midoriya, you're like a rat, you actually dug a hole and ran away!"
"You, a big rat hiding in the dark, have no right to talk to me."
The drill in Crimson Knight ZERO's right hand did not retract or disappear. Instead, it spun at lightning speed, recreating the technique he used against Chisaki. The high-speed spinning drill formed a storm-like eye, gathering the surrounding darkness and mist, and dispelling the illusion that concealed Shigaraki Tomura's true identity.
Before Izuku Midoriya appeared a terrifying behemoth, a pitch-black dragon about thirty meters tall, with abyssal mist constantly billowing from its breath. It was staring intently at him, and it was clear that... this guy was Shigaraki Tomura.
"Excuse me for my earlier offense, but I should have called you a giant lizard hiding in the dark."
Having had his vision obscured by the mist of the abyss, Izuku Midoriya finally realized what kind of monster Shigaraki Tomura had become. No wonder he encountered an obstacle when trying to jump out of the mist earlier; it seemed he had bumped into this guy.
"Izuku Midoriya! I've made quite a few preparations so I can properly torture you."
The black dragon that spoke human language was Shigaraki Tomura, who had transformed into this terrifying monster. He appeared before Midoriya Izuku in the form of a pitch-black dragon from Western folklore, blotting out the sky.
The power bestowed upon him by Akaya Kaiun allows Shigaraki Tomura to devour "Quirks" to enhance his inhuman abilities. Shigaraki Tomura is a dark dragon that devours Quirks.
All For One used the tens of thousands of quirks collected by the "Reunion School" to devour Shigaraki Tomura, transforming them into his own terrifying power.
"Kneel down and beg for mercy!"
Without any fancy techniques, the enormous black dragon crushed down, leaving Izuku Midoriya with nowhere to escape with just one claw. Shigaraki Tomura grabbed Crimson Knight Zero in his palm and gripped it with immense force.
"As long as I don't kill you, breaking a few bones shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"Perhaps, but... who knows, you might be the one who breaks your bones?"
Facing the terrifying enemy who was holding him in his grasp, Izuku Midoriya showed no fear or panic whatsoever. As for Shigaraki Tomura, whose size had increased dramatically, it was nothing. Anyone could grow bigger to increase their power!
"Spiral Force activated!"
"FIGHT THE POWER"! ! "
It is the triumphant song of the Knight's Belt, the evolution of Crimson Knight ZERO, and the posture of unleashing infinite spiral power to take a step forward. Heroes will not stay in place and be hindered by difficulties. Overcoming all difficulties and obstacles is the path of heroes.
The spiraling force that burst forth broke free from Shigaraki Tomura's grip and materialized into a physical form before the black dragon. The Crimson Knight, whose size was almost the same as Shigaraki's, made a grand entrance with its arms crossed.
The characteristic of "spiral force" is to continuously move towards the path of evolution. What if you encounter an enemy stronger than yourself in front of the Spiral Race? Then just become bigger and stronger than them! No need to talk about logic, as long as your momentum and belief are enough, you can carry out the path you firmly believe in to the end.
The enormous power gap was instantly leveled out. Standing before the black dragon was the Crimson Knight, the form that Izuku Midoriya transformed into after unleashing his Spiral Force. He piloted and fought like a robot inside, completely deviating from the concept of Kamen Rider. He should be called "Super Robot."
Who do you think I am?!
Believing in himself and in All Might's words, Izuku Midoriya is determined to become a hero and face everything on his own path.
"Come on, let's settle this once and for all!"
"Izuku Midoriya!!"
Without exchanging many words, the two behemoths instantly clashed and fought fiercely. The shockwaves from their battle alone caused a powerful earthquake, affecting and even impacting the Philadelphia area. Citizens, unaware of what was happening, covered their heads and hid to avoid the disaster.
"Ora ora ora!"
Shouting these powerful catchphrases, just as All Might taught, try to change yourself to be more confident, and swing your fist at the enemy with this burning passion.
The giant Crimson Knight Robot is not complicated to operate. Applying Real Type to this Super Type machine is meaningless. As long as Izuku Midoriya maintains his high fighting spirit and keeps unleashing Spiral Force, Crimson Knight will never be defeated.
The fists were full of power. Despite their similar size, the Crimson Knight's fists kept hitting the black dragon's head directly, making Shigaraki Tomura retreat and become dizzy.
"asshole!"
After being relentlessly beaten, the dragon was not in a good mood. The already somewhat irrational Shigaraki Tomura became even more frenzied. It immediately launched a sweeping tail attack that wrapped around the feet of the Crimson Knight's machine. At the same time, it seized the opportunity with its claws to push and crush the Crimson Knight, knocking it to the ground.
Regardless of why the black dragon's tail is so long and flexible, perhaps Shigaraki Tomura, who has devoured tens of thousands of "Quirks," possesses all sorts of abilities. After all, the dark mist from earlier was quite troublesome.
After slamming the Crimson Knight to the ground, the Dark Dragon pressed down on him, using its weight to restrain its opponent, and began to gather power in its mouth... clearly preparing a dangerous attack.
Shut up!
Before Shigaraki Tomura could unleash his ultimate attack, Crimson Knight reacted quickly, grabbing the black dragon's mouth shut with his right hand and simultaneously reaching out with his left, holding it tightly like a duck, making it impossible for the dragon to break free.
Realizing that this powerful attack would be his downfall, Shigaraki Tomura quickly stopped his breath attack, but this gave Crimson Knight a chance to counterattack. Midoriya Izuku grabbed the black dragon's mouth and unleashed his power, swinging it forcefully.
Because his head was seized, Shigaraki Tomura was ripped off Crimson Knight by a powerful hurled attack, and his body slammed into the ground behind him. The ground tremor caused an even stronger earthquake in Philadelphia, but this was only the beginning.
"You need to calm down!"
It was Midoriya Izuku who simply grabbed the dragon's head and wouldn't let go. The Crimson Knight unleashed his powerful strength, repeatedly slamming the black dragon into the ground, turning the surrounding area into a giant, horribly mangled crater. Only then did he toss the dazed and nearly dead Shigaraki Tomura aside.
"Now can you tell me what Akaya Kaiun is trying to do?"
"Damn it... I... I will not fail..."
Despite being badly beaten, Shigaraki Tomura refused to give up. The black dragon struggled to its feet, spread its wings, and took flight.
"Die, Izuku Midoriya!!"
Overwhelmed by rage and humiliation, Shigaraki Tomura disregarded the urgency of the situation and unleashed his full power. Unlike before, he was prepared to use his full strength to annihilate the wretched brat before him, regardless of the consequences.
"They really refuse to admit defeat."
The pitch-black dragon soared into the sky, while the crimson knight stood on the ground; their final, deadly duel was about to begin.
The darkness gathered in Shigaraki Tomura's mouth reversed course, forming a hollow white light, while Midoriya Izuku raised his right hand high in the air, unleashing his ultimate attack:
""Giga Drill Break"! ! "
"Give me nothing but ashes!!"
A pale, annihilating light shot out from the mouth of the dark dragon, a powerful attack capable of obliterating and destroying Philadelphia in a single strike. However, facing the Crimson Knight who fearlessly charged forward with his breath, the drill in his hand was a weapon capable of breaking through all obstacles.
The situation was completely one-sided. The drill pierced through the annihilation breath, and the Crimson Knight arrived in front of the dark dragon. The next moment—!
"You should lie down!"
At the crucial moment, the drill stopped and showed mercy. Izuku Midoriya, controlling the Crimson Knight, delivered a powerful punch to the head of the black demon, knocking Shigaraki Tomura unconscious and causing him to fall to the ground.
Chapter 83 Heroes are all willful guys
"This guy... is troublesome enough."
Despite Shigaraki Tomura's attack, Midoriya managed to knock him to the ground with considerable effort. However, after being knocked unconscious, Shigaraki reverted from his black dragon form to his original form and was unable to answer Izuku Midoriya's questions.
According to what Shigaraki Tomura just said, Akaya Kaiun seems to have an important plan entrusted to him, and based on the current situation, it is clear that it is related to the "Spiral Force".
However, Shigaraki Tomura had already fainted, and it would be very troublesome to wait for him to wake up and interrogate him, so Midoriya chose a straightforward approach.
Bending down, Izuku Midoriya grabbed Shigaraki Tomura and hoisted it onto his shoulder before heading straight back towards the Philadelphia Freemasons to ask All For One for clarification.
The massive shockwave from the battle between the Dark Dragon and the Crimson Knight reached Philadelphia. People there, thinking it was an earthquake, evacuated the city center for safety, leaving the area around the cathedral, which had been surrounded, empty.
Izuku Midoriya returned the way he came and entered the cathedral through the hole he had smashed open in the wall. All For One was still there, but the group of people from the cathedral were nowhere to be seen.
"Well done, Midoriya-kun."
"Even his current power is no match for yours. You should know that even I cannot withstand the power of tens of thousands of sexes."
While AFO clapped and offered words of praise, Izuku Midoriya simply tossed the Shigaraki Tomura from his shoulder to the ground and, facing the seemingly pleased man before him, directly asked:
"What exactly does Akaya Kaiun want to do? What purpose does he intend to achieve using the 'Spiral Force'?"
"Oh dear, it seems he let it slip? But it's alright, this is something I was supposed to tell you anyway."
After Izuku Midoriya defeated Tomura Shigaraki, he passed the strength test ordered by Kaiu Akaya, and AFO was able to reveal part of its true purpose to Midoriya.
"Midori-kun, did you know? The emergence of 'Quirks' is something that no one can explain to this day. Is it a gift from the gods, an experiment by aliens, or even human evolution...? All of this is just speculation, because there is no evidence to show how 'Quirks' are born."
Philadelphia, USA, has a very famous history museum. In addition to the precious artifacts left from the early days of the country, it also contains traces of human history left over 100 years after the emergence of "individuality". It is evidence of the gradual distortion of mankind as it deviated from the right path for unknown reasons.
"My Quirk, 'All For One,' can strip other people of their Quirks, but Midoriya-kun, do you know something?"
According to information from AFO, as human "personality" abilities continue to evolve and become more complex, absurd, and powerful, personality has completely distorted the essence of humanity.
"If I strip a person of their 'personality,' and two people without personality come together to have offspring, the child will still possess 'personality.'"
"Originally, 'individuality' was a rare and precious quality, but in today's world, people without individuality are becoming increasingly scarce."
"People like you, Midoriya-kun, who are 'quirkless,' are becoming increasingly rare these days."
According to statistics, 80% of people in the modern world have "personality" abilities, while the remaining 20% do not. The vast majority of those without personality are older generations, and it is almost impossible for any new generation to have "no personality".
"What do you mean?"
"Our leader, the League of Villains, your teacher, Akaya Kaiun, plans to make all Quirks disappear from the world, so that they will never exist again."
"As expected... this is his goal."
AFO's words were not too surprising to Izuku Midoriya. After talking with All Might, Izuku Midoriya also learned about his teacher, Kaiu Akaya, who disliked "Quirk" abilities. If he wanted to eliminate all "Quirks" in the world, it would really fit his identity and behavior.
"And the 'spiral force' within you is crucial to achieving this goal."
"The 'Spiral Force'... Does he intend to use this power to eliminate all 'Quirks' in the world? What exactly does he plan to do?!"
Afo shook his head helplessly, gesturing with his hands. To be honest, he didn't know either. As the former leader of the League of Villains, this was all he knew. Now, all he could do was pass on messages and deceive people. It really was time for the old man to retire.
"Once you meet the leader, go and ask him yourself."
"Since the 'Spiral Force' is so important to his plans, why did Akaya Kaiun give this power to me!?"
"How would I know? As the leader of the 'League of Villains,' he naturally has his reasons. Who knows why you, this lucky kid, are receiving such attention?"
"........."
The silent Izuku Midoriya had only gotten this much information from AFO. Who knew what kind of show his teacher, Kaiu Akaya, was planning?
"Akatani Kaiun...where is he?"
"Yellowstone Mountain National Park, Wyoming."
The Rocky Mountains of the western United States, Wyoming, home to the world's first national park, are home to one of the most destructive supervolcanoes on Earth, lying in the heart of the United States.
