"That thing is compressing!"
Just as All Might was facing off against Pet Shop, Denki Kaminari shouted.
Everyone looked up. The massive metal dragon in the sky was shrinking, like a soda can getting crushed by a fist.
"Is he trying to crush Arthur to death inside?"
Even Minoru Mineta could see what was happening, let alone All Might. It was obvious.
Arthur hadn't been seen outside, so he was clearly trapped inside.
Now that the endless metal tornado was compressing like this, everyone knew what was going on.
Momo Yaoyorozu and the other girls clenched their fists, sweat running down their faces.
"No!!!"
All Might went all out. His speed completely outpaced Pet Shop's.
There was no time to stop him. All Might's muscled body shot past the bird.
The Class A students below watched the metal tornado keep compressing, turning from an iron barrel into ten thin rods.
"This enemy really went all out to counter his time stop. First he hid inside endless steel so Arthur couldn't find him, and now he's trying to wear him down and kill him."
Shoto Todoroki analyzed Wolfram's strategy.
"Young Arthur, are you still alive!?"
All Might stood on one of the steel rods and shouted inside.
But his answer came from inside the steel. Wolfram's hoarse, crazy voice dragged out, "Don't worry~ All Might~ I've already killed the kid. According to All For One's orders, you're next."
All Might's face went pale. A figure he still had nightmares about popped into his head. "You bastard... did he send you?"
The truth was, All For One had made two moves this time.
First, he sent Wolfram and some other mercenaries to steal the Quirk-boosting device David Shield invented.
But he also knew that kind of device would probably cost someone's life or something.
So he wasn't that interested in it.
He gave Wolfram a push just to mess with All Might.
Second, he sent the new League of Villains led by Shigaraki Tomura.
They were using the bullets that could completely erase Quirks, made from his own Quirk, Chisaki Kai's, and another Shie Hassaikai member's.
The goal was to get rid of Arthur's annoying Quirk.
Honestly, All For One really wanted Arthur's Quirk.
But he wasn't confident he could catch him.
[The World]'s ability was just too broken.
Even with all of All For One's own Quirks, he wasn't sure he could take Arthur down.
If he couldn't have it, he'd destroy it.
But All For One probably didn't expect that bullet would end up hitting Izuku Midoriya.
"You bastard!!!!"
All Might's face twisted with rage.
Meanwhile, Momo Yaoyorozu, Melissa, and the other girls below went pale when they heard Wolfram say Arthur was dead.
Thud!
Melissa fell to her knees, covering her eyes with her hands, sobbing. "Waaah waaah waaah~ I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! Arthur, this is my fault! Waaah waaah waaah"
"Damn it!!!!"
All Might was furious and ready to strike.
"Perfect! First the world's strongest Quirk user, now the strongest hero. There's no better fight..." Wolfram shifted his attack, getting ready to target All Might. But just as he was about to finish speaking, he suddenly let out a weird cry of pain.
All Might and the Class A students below were confused.
What happened?
"Uh... Uh... Uh uh!!!"
Wolfram, hidden inside the steel dragon, kept making unnatural sounds of pain.
Then a sound grew louder and louder.
Thump!
Huh!?
Thump-thump!!
Thump-thump-thump!!!
Thump-thump-thump-thump!!!!
Fists.
The sound of nonstop punching came from inside the iron dragon.
And that familiar battle cry.
"Muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda!!!!!!!!!"
Right in front of everyone, the steel dragon's body started trembling.
Then it began to crack and fall apart.
"Muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda!!!!!!!!!"
Boom!!
From the center of the giant dragon, the hard metal body finally got pulverized.
The golden [The World] appeared again, punching its way out like crazy.
Behind [The World] stood Arthur, radiating a wild golden aura.
"Young Arthur!"
"Arthur!"
"Arthur-kun!"
"He's okay!"
All Might and the others shouted, but Arthur didn't respond. He was covered in blood, his hero suit torn to shreds.
After breaking free from the steel dragon, he stood outside and turned with The World to face Wolfram directly.
"Hoo"
Arthur closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
The next moment, The World tensed up and let out a storm of heavy punches.
"Muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda Muda!!!!!!"
Rumble!!!!
The steel dragon, hundreds of meters tall and nearly touching the clouds, started falling apart.
Wolfram's body was finally exposed.
Along with the shattered metal fragments, he fell from a hundred meters up.
"H-how is this possible!? How!!??"
Wolfram coughed up blood, unable to believe it.
"This is the last time you'll ever see time stop in your life. Za Warudo!"
