As the three of us fought each other, every one of our clashes altered the terrain of our surroundings, completely up-lifting massive chunks of the earth; the creepy dude was even able to disintegrate the chunks of earth with ease, which wasn't really my cup of tea. I enjoyed causing destruction and chaos; in my opinion, disintegrating everything into nothingness wasn't all that fun.
However, because of his many unique quirks working in tandem with each other and the fact that he seemed to be growing mid-battle, the creepy guy was a much bigger threat than All-Might, and I paid him far more attention. Although, what did annoy me was that numerous other people had joined in the battle; both heroes and villains helped to aid All-Might or the creepy dude in defeating me, and it was rather annoying if anything.
Dodging a rather dangerous attack from the creepy dude, I was suddenly punched into the ground by a massive rock monster, causing me to click my tongue as I swiftly leaped into the air.
"Tch, move, weakling!" Said Diddy in slight anger as he punched Gigantomachia in the chin, causing the sheer might of his attack to completely disfigure his head into something utterly unrecognizable.
Raising my hand, I conjured a bolt of lightning in my hand before stabbing it into the monster's exposed brain, shocking his entire body, only for his building-sized body to collapse lifelessly onto the ground.
'Tsk, so annoying.' Mused Diddy in annoyance as he glanced at Gigantomachia's corpse, only for him to be engulfed in a blaze of vibrant yet scorching blue flames, followed by an equally intense red one.
Clicking my tongue, I enlarged my lungs before quickly squeezing them as I released a mighty yet short burst of air that pushed the waves of flames back, though I wasn't given a moment of rest since All-Might seemingly appeared from nowhere as he violently punched me.
"California Smash!" Yelled Yagi as he aggressively punched Diddy with enough force a massive explosion erupted with them at the center, only for him to slam into the ground.
"Ouch." Muttered Diddy lightly as he rubbed his cheek and spat out some blood, only for him to use his inhuman-like instincts and reflexes as he narrowly evaded nearly a hundred reddish tendrils.
I may have been fighting a little sloppy against everyone else, but that was mainly because most of my focus was on the creepy dude; since I wasn't using haki, he was more than capable of disintegrating me with but a touch, so I was forced to stay diligent regarding him, though I sort of like the thrill of knowing that if I were to mess up once and allow him to touch me, I'd die.
'Hehe, I always grow the most in life-or-death situations, though I suppose since I'm massively limiting myself, I couldn't say the situation is as dire as it looks.' Thought Diddy lightly as he slashed his hand, launching five sharp blades of wind that sliced through numerous tendrils, allowing him to gain distance.
Once I escaped the little trap he was forcing me into, I opened my mouth, only to violently close it as I launched a teeth version of shigan towards the creepy dude, which was much stronger than any normal shigan.
"Watch out Shigaraki!" Yelled one of Shigaraki's underlings, though his warning was unnecessary as two massive hands emerged from his body, protecting him from the attack, yet even so, he was still injured.
"Huh, your name's Shigaraki?" Asked Diddy lightly as he stood on the top of the rubble while glancing at Shigaraki, who emerged from the protective cocoon the two massive hands made, only for a chunk of his body to be seen missing.
While watching Shigaraki's body heal and slowly strengthen him, I couldn't help but click my tongue at how amazing his body was; if I could have a body that simply healed and strengthened itself by taking damage, I would've already been the strongest.
'Tsk, and I thought I had a special body.' Mused Diddy lightly as he gazed at Shigaraki, only for him to tilt his head, evading Yagi's punch that left a path of fo destruction behind him.
"You know, you're starting to become a nuisance now; it seems even when strengthened by Stars, you still don't amount to much. Disappointing." Muttered Diddy blandly with a slight frown as he glanced at Yagi, who simply attacked once more, yet his knee met nothing but air.
With speed and precision, I brutally attacked All-Might with a flurry of blows, fighting him exactly as he had been doing so before delivering a violent knee to his stomach, causing him to drop to one knee while coughing blood.
ALL-MIGHT!!" Yelled Deku and Todoroki loudly from a distance while Bakugo flew towards Diddy and Yagi, only for him to be intercepted by Jeanist
"You see… This is what happens when one has both power and technique." Remarked Diddy lightly as he squatted down and eyed Yagi, who stared at him with furious yet determined eyes.
"So long as I still breath–" Said Yagi through gritted teeth as he slowly began to stand, only for him to suddenly be taken aback while he slowly looked down at the gaping hole in his chest.
Tossing All-Might heart onto the ground, I gave him one last glance before pushing him onto the ground, though I must've underestimated how much vitality I gave him since even with a missing heart and a gaping hole in his chest, he didn't quite yet die.
"–I'll protect this world from people like you." Added Yagi weakly as he stood up and glanced at Diddy, who simply raised an eyebrow.
At All-Might words, he suddenly raised his arm while transferring every ounce of remaining strength that coursed through his body into his fist, causing me to smirk as I glanced at his enlarged arm. It seemed everyone could sense the sheer might held within his enlarged arm as none dared to interfere or attack me, causing me to smirk as I did the same and transferred all of my strength into my right arm.
"United States of Smash." Said Yagi weakly, yet his movements didn't mirror his voice as he stepped forward before punching Diddy, causing everyone's heart to momentarily stop.
'Beastly Fist!' Thought Diddy with a feral grin as he met Yagi's fist with his own, their clash releasing such might that massive torrents of wind erupted from the impact, forming immense tornadoes that launched tons of debris in all directions.
Once everything began to calm down and the dust settled, All-Might was lying motionlessly on the ground, having reverted to his previous scrawny appearance, while I was still standing with vigor, though my arm was completely broken; bones were jutting out through my flesh in all direction, tearing through my muscles and blood vessels.
"This fucking hurts." Muttered Diddy lightly as he gazed at his malformed arm before shaking his head and glancing at everyone else with a feral grin.
"Hehe, c'mon, let's continue." Added Diddy with a savage expression as he ignored his arm and lunged towards Shigaraki, who sported an ugly expression.

Sitting on a random pile of rubble, I glanced at the battlefield that was littered with bodies of both heroes and villains; most were dead, yet some were still alive, though none of them were of concern; landing on the ground, I approached Shigaraki in the distance, the only person who was still standing after nearly an hour of fighting, well, except for Stars who was in the distance, having watched everything unfold without offering a helping hand.
"The hell are you doing to that kid?" Asked Diddy with a raised eyebrow as he glanced at Shigaraki, who was fiddling around with Deku's unconscious body.
I didn't get a response, not that I cared all that much, to begin with, but suddenly, I sensed the boy's strength vanish, causing me to frown as I glanced at Shigaraki, who erupted into maniacal laughter.
"Finally… FINALLY! One-For-All… It's MINE!!" Yelled Shigaraki loudly in pure joy as he laughed while his body assimilated the new quirk.
'Creepy dude is a fitting nickname for him.' Mused Diddy lightly as he stared at Shigaraki, who suddenly glanced at him.
While looking right at me, he raised his hand and pointed it at the boy's body, only for it to disintegrate into nothingness without even touching him, causing me to raise an eyebrow; however, what he did next caused my face to twitch as he raised his hand at me. Though he didn't attempt to disintegrate me, instead he launched a powerful blast of air at me, only vastly stronger than he'd ever shown before; being flung through the air along with half of the destroyed city, I quickly regained my bearing and floated in the air as I assessed Shigaraki from a distance.
"Hmm, I don't know what he did with that boy, but he's much stronger than before." Muttered Diddy lightly as he eyed Shigaraki, only for him to tilt his to the side, narrowly dodging a thick, red tendril that emerged from his body.
Even from such a distance, I couldn't fully evade the attack as he scratched my cheek.
Clicking my tongue at how he was mocking me with his newly enhanced strength, I headed right for him, though just as I did so, his figure suddenly appeared in front of me, only for him to attack me with such speed I was only able to offset the force of impact by going with the kick.
