[MHCISQD] Chapter 148: What Does it Have to do With Me?
Added 2023-04-25 21:09:28 +0000 UTCIn the moment of hesitation, All For One seized the opportunity and swung his fist toward All Might's abdomen.
Renault had been watching from the sidelines and immediately teleported to his side upon seeing All Might's reaction, pulling him away and kicking All For One's fist.
However, his spontaneous attack was weaker compared to All For One's prearranged strike and sent Renault flying.
Regaining his composure, All Might gritted his teeth and retracted his right fist to his waist.
"DETROIT SMASH!!!"
All For One strengthened his right arm and firmly caught All Might's attack.
Looking at All Might's tense expression, All For One chuckled, "What's wrong? Did you think I was lying to you? Hahaha... Honestly, I was surprised too when I found out his identity. But soon, that surprise turned into delight because he is the one who can inherit my will."
"You shut your mouth!!!"
*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*
A series of attacks rained down, reckless and relentless.
Even All For One was struggling to withstand them. After blocking All Might's fist, he stepped back and created multiple Quirks with his right arm.
"What's wrong? Do you want to dodge again? If you don't dodge this time..."
All Might was about to use high-speed movement to confuse his opponent, but he immediately stopped in his tracks, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
In the previous battles, he had consciously controlled the direction of All For One's attacks to avoid harming the civilians in the vicinity.
If he could hold on for a few more minutes, there would be no such problem since the ordinary people in the surrounding area would have already been evacuated.
But the problem was that his time was running out.
Even then, many personnel were being evacuated under the leadership of the Pro Heroes in the rear, and many Pro Heroes were carrying out rescue operations to deal with the damage caused by the flying debris.
"It seems... being the Symbol of Peace is really tough..." A terrifying aura gathered on All For One's right arm. "Are you sure you want to dodge this?"
The next moment, compressed air formed a terrifying bullet and appeared before All Might.
All Might could only directly punch and withstand this attack.
The clash between his punch and All For One's attack created a terrifying impact, blowing away Gran Torino and others who were trying to rush out to help.
"Troublesome." Renault immediately rushed out to try to share the stress with All Might. "Don't move recklessly, All Might!"
But who would have thought that All For One had also been paying attention to Renault; he lifts his left hand and launches another compressed air, no weaker than his previous attack.
"Again?"
"Renault, it won't work to keep taking these hits like this. This time, you're definitely done for," Evolto's voice casually appeared at the opportune moment, but Renault didn't have time to respond.
His right hand frantically moved the control lever of his Driver. Renault took a deep breath and threw a punch with all his strength.
Rider Punch!
Of course, it was a punch with Vector Manipulation added.
There was no other way. It was not the time to hide his identity anymore. With just his current state of having transformed twice, he couldn't safely take this hit.
"Hmm?"
Indeed, at the moment of the collision attack, All For One realized that something was amiss. In the attack used by Evolto, there was a strength that he was very familiar with. Yes, it was Vector Manipulation.
"I see... I see! Ahahaha! How interesting, this is truly too interesting!" As the attack dissipated, All For One looked at 'Evolto' for a second, then turned to All Might, who had withstood his attack and had already returned to his skinny form. He said, "Your dignity, which made you persist even when injured, has been completely stripped away by me. Your original form has been revealed to the world. How do you feel, Symbol of Peace...?"
In an instant, all the people watching the battle on the screen in the helicopter fell silent.
"What's going on?"
"Who's that skeleton?"
"Is that... All Might?"
"Did the audience see that? All Might... he looks like he's dying!"
Watching this scene on the big screen, Midoriya's face changed drastically as he heard the people around him discussing it.
He understood that things were spiraling out of control, and they were becoming very... very bad.
On the battlefield, All For One opened his arms and said, "With sunken cheeks and hollow eyes, you really are a shabby-looking top hero. Don't be shy, this is your true form, isn't it? Oh, the topic we were just discussing seems to be unfinished. Shigaraki Tomura is indeed the grandson of Shimura Nana. And, you should also understand that what I said is the truth, isn't it?"
"That... is that true? He's... Master's relative?" All Might stood motionless with lifeless eyes as if he had lost his fighting spirit, muttering to himself.
All For One looked satisfied with All Might's reaction, and then turned to Renault and said, "I didn't expect you to have something that could enhance your strength, but in the end, it's still something that cannot be hidden. My other disciple, was taken away by you, right? Renault-kun."
"Renault?"
All Might was taken aback and looked at Renault in armor, "You are Renault?"
Renault knew that once his Quirk was used, he could not hide it anymore, so he had to use his original voice and said, "So what if you know? Except for us few, no one can hear us. We just need to defeat you."
"Defeat me? With just you? Or with the already incapacitated Number One?" All For One laughed while looking at the 'skinny' All Might and said, "It seems you still don't understand. Shimura Nana, who was All Might's mentor and the previous One For All inheritor, was really weak."
"..." Renault fell silent. He understood completely why All Might had that expression on his face.
After his mentor passed away, the villain found the grandson of his mentor and trained him as his disciple. The grandson also became a leader of the villains. For someone like All Might, who had devoted his entire life to maintaining peace and fighting crime, this was like a bolt from the blue.
But...
"What does it have to do with me?" Renault said calmly.
"Hmm?"
