BNHA: Accelerator The Strongest Hero

The equal and calm counterattack echoed throughout the entire Shinya District, like the clear and dull sound of a large wooden stake striking a temple bell.

And AFO's aggressive attack seemed like a death wish to someone.

Yes, it was full of flaws.

At this moment, the severely pained All for One paid the first deep price.

Even though he quickly used several defensive Quirks before being hit, it was useless. He could only try his best to minimize the damage.

Under the unstoppable force of the attack, AFO was easily knocked back.

He hit the ground, which was still somewhat intact, and his body, temporarily enhanced with various defensive Quirks, slid rapidly. The incredible speed caused sparks of high-temperature heat to fly.

A long trail, hundreds of meters long, was left behind, like hot lava flowing and forming a path, constantly emitting scorching steam.

Two-thirds of the Shinjuku area was engulfed in this high-temperature onslaught.

The few remaining innocent buildings were turned into a vast wasteland by the terrifying wind pressure and shockwaves. Even the helicopter carrying the media, Hero Special, which was risking their lives to report to the public, trembled in the violent winds.

Only a small part of the ground remained, though it was also on the verge of collapse.

Someone noticed that the battlefield was reaching its limit. He casually clapped his hands and discreetly reinforced and strengthened the battlefield.

The underground vibrations and the ruins, with most of the steel bars sticking out like tombstones, along with the existing lava paths, were all gradually reducing the dangerous factors.

This was done so he could have fewer worries and more enjoyment.

Because Accelerator was too worried, he secretly modified the battlefield. Otherwise, regardless of whether All For One could withstand it, even a slight effort from him would cause the area to decay prematurely, preventing him from having any fun.

This was something AFO never expected. He could only watch as his flesh, due to the massive impact, burst into a bright blood flower. Then, like a snake shedding its skin or scales falling off, his face's skin turned into crimson flesh residue.

With the Quirk to sense his body's condition, AFO felt confused because half of his body was left with only white bones, emitting a terrifying sight amidst the flesh.

The most angering, humiliating, and painful situation for AFO was probably this.

If an ordinary person suffered such a terrifying and soul-devouring injury, their spirit might completely collapse.

Not to mention the emptiness of losing something that cannot be recovered.

AFO who once ruled the Eleventh District for nearly two eras was not an ordinary person.

Of course, such pain and humiliation would only further fuel his rage.

But that was exactly what someone hoped for.

The endless anger from his own lack of ability was, in someone's view, the best appetizer to repay evil.

In fact, Accelerator did it on purpose. He thought heroes would never use such an unforgivable method, worse than killing, to punish evil.

Someone never intended to replace All Might because All Might was the pillar of the Eleventh District, the pillar that must not break to maintain order.

He believed he was just like his wise guardian, Endeavor, always doing what he thought was right.

In the story, All Might would reveal his extremely weak state in the battle with AFO. Then, amidst the unchanging cheers and prayers for victory from the people, and the voices of countless aspiring heroes wanting to be like All Might, he would burn his life to achieve a hard-fought victory over AFO.

Therefore, Accelerator wanted to be willful once, not to help All Might or make choices for the entire other world.

But to provide them with a choice.

Although he was already an incurable villain, he still hoped that good people would be rewarded.

Just as he believed in dealing with evil:

Fight fire with fire, fight poison with poison, an eye for an eye, violence against violence.

Only by making evil experience the right kind of pain can Accelerator find his true purpose in the other world.

So he acted accordingly.

This vivid scene was broadcasted to the whole world.

The shockwaves from the clash were calmed down by someone's efforts, and the on-site reporter from "Hero Weekly" excitedly exclaimed,

"Viewers! There's a turn of events on the scene!"

"It's unimaginable! A person who is still seen as a top hero candidate by the public has stepped up. Surprisingly, he is now fighting the vicious enemy to protect the injured All Might and the civilians who haven't evacuated yet."

"Go, All Might! Go, Accelerator!"

The reporter from "Hero Weekly" was so excited that he even shed tears, and the cameraman beside him was the same.

Unlike the numerous unscrupulous media, the official media reporters, who are also ordinary people, have always been doing worse jobs than their peers while being questioned by the public.

It's not even easier than being a regular professional hero, but even the smallest voice belongs to these ordinary people.

Even at the risk of their lives, they must convey the truth.

Everyone has had heroes in their hearts, but these people are destined not to become those shining heroes.

Just as heroes believe that true justice will remain in people's hearts, many weak ordinary people have not given up following in the footsteps of heroes.

While some people call a deer a horse, others have a clear mind.

Even the smallest, quietest voice is a light in the darkness.

For the malicious ones, it was hard to accept that AFO, whom they once regarded as a god, was being suppressed and even severely injured.

With a questioning look, Oppression asked Shigaraki Tomura,

"Hey, hey, this isn't what we agreed on!"

"That Accelerator feels really bad."

Following his companion's words, Margie had a different opinion.

Cold sweat from fear kept dripping down his forehead, and the dust in the air changed its color, making him look even more disheveled.

He tentatively suggested to the uneasy Shigaraki Tomura,

"Tomura, should we retreat for now..."

"Keep Aoyama alive, and we won't run out of firewood. If your teacher is as strong as you say, he might have solved everything by the time we're safe."

Shigaraki Tomura, with trembling hands, scratched his neck back and forth irritably, just like before, and shouted,

"No!"

"No, I don't believe the teacher will lose."

"I want to witness the teacher's victory with my own eyes."

Shigaraki Tomura's feelings for AFO were even stronger than Midoriya's for All Might.

AFO appeared when young Shigaraki Tomura was most desperate and told him,

"It's okay, I'm here."

Since then, Tomura has been taken in by AFO as a disciple, and their relationship is like that of a teacher and a son.

At this moment, Toga Himiko seized the opportunity and reluctantly said,

"Tomura-kun, I don't want to end it either."

And Kurogiri, like Shigaraki Tomura, chose to believe in AFO's victory.

Seeing these people's attitudes, the others had no choice but to give up.

Of course, the mastermind behind the League of Villains couldn't fully protect himself when facing someone's counterattack, let alone take care of his disciples and their subordinates.

The reason why the members of the League of Villains managed to survive this encounter in such a sorry state was all thanks to someone's sinister intentions.

Just like how All for One wanted to crush All Might and the superhero society.

As a being of malice, Accelerator naturally wouldn't miss such a satisfying opportunity.

So, the first round of attacks made AFO lose his regained face forever.

No matter how grand the reasons may seem, malice doesn't deserve any redemption.

As for the members of the League of Villains, including Shigaraki Tomura, they could even witness the complete collapse of the strongest power and faith they knew.

Even though they were malicious and could harm the good without any burden, the League of Villains were still human.

So, only when they experienced the same heart-wrenching pain and regret themselves would it be the twisted justice that Accelerator believed in.

Honestly, Accelerator was really looking forward to that moment.

AFO also sharply noticed this. Although he didn't yet understand Accelerator's purpose, there was no doubt that in his counterattack just now, he used something that could suppress the "Super Regeneration" Quirk.

All for One's precious face, which had just recovered, turned to nothing again in less than a month.

As AFO's roaring emotions reached their peak, he shouted with a sinister and hateful voice.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"If I remember correctly, you're only fifteen, right? All Might didn't achieve what you have at this age! You will die a horrible death! I promise!"

"You have no idea what kind of existence you've angered!"

Accelerator's slightly shallow lips curled up, not hiding the mockery and joy within, almost laughing as he spoke.

"Hahahahahaha, since you didn't lose consciousness from your injuries just now, I'll admit you're just a piece of trash among villains."

"But since you don't need your face, I'll tear that disgusting face of yours apart, All for One!"

Up to this point, all of AFO's actions had been calculated and predicted by Accelerator without any deviation.

In his battle with someone, Accelerator deeply understood that when calculating, all luck should be excluded, and never attempt a fight with insufficient information. Only then is it the correct strategy.

All for One stared at Accelerator, who had made him so miserable, and suddenly launched the next round of attacks.

If close combat couldn't deal with Accelerator, then he would just pick another Quirk from his inventory to test the limits.

He raised his hands, and black lightning crisscrossed in the air.

Like the "Psychic Blade," a skill not shown in the story was used.

In someone's keen perception, they noticed something moving underground.

Sure enough, it was a Quirk similar to Class B's Shiozaki Ibara's "Thorns."

Soon, these green waves of vines broke through the ground. These hard vines, like tentacles, were as tough as steel, and their most terrifying aspect was their sheer number.

At the same time, this was not AFO's full attack.

AFO let out a cold laugh, like a sewer, and slowly raised his hand.

"Do you think you can take me down just because you're fast? What a big appetite!"

With this move, several black streaks appeared in the sky, leaving behind many white high-energy spheres with diameters ranging from three to seven or eight meters.

The entire area was illuminated by the dazzling light emitted by these dense spheres.

Next, countless hot white beams of light shot out from these white high-energy spheres.

The entire sky was covered by these seemingly beautiful beams. AFO's strategy was to use a wide-range AOE attack to restrain Accelerator while secretly preparing a real killing move.

Based on his experience, the peak speed Accelerator just displayed was about seven times the speed of sound.

Even though AFO had mostly regained his peak strength, he had only one thing in his inventory that could deal with an enemy with such speed.

That was silent and invisible deadly gas.

The Deadly Gas Quirk was not as gentle as the gas Quirk used by his disciple. It was a colorless and odorless Quirk that could cause the body to rot and the mind to collapse upon contact, making it impossible to defend against.

Moreover, he had two other Quirks in his inventory that could further enhance the power of the Deadly Gas Quirk.

These were the Sonic Speed and Snake Transformation Quirks.

Since the Deadly Gas was colorless and odorless, he first gave it intelligence for easier control with the Snake Transformation Quirk, making it a must-have for silent killing.

And Sonic Speed was exactly what it sounded like.

This was one of his ultimate killing move combinations!
