After being pierced by the [Steel Wings], the Sky King's minions began to fall from the sky.
The [Steel Wings] Quirk had an ample supply of feathers, and the Sky King's minions were equally numerous.
This confrontation had evolved into a delicate and stalemated situation.
Many professional heroes noticed that the Sky King did not show the usual tension of a criminal surrounded by guardians. Everyone remained vigilant, wary of any tricks.
Of course Hawks also pays attention to these seemingly insignificant details.
So, he cautiously spoke to Accelerator through the secret communication channel in his hero suit.
"Accelerator, I need you to hold the line."
A calm response came from the other end.
"Understood."
He did not ask the older professional heroes in his group but chose Accelerator to hold the line.
Then, Hawks began to flap his wings faster.
The [Steel Feathers] that had been shot out like bullets and lost their power, drifting aimlessly in the air, were once again imbued with invisible power by Hawks.
These black, metallic [Steel Feathers] defied gravity, first stabilizing in mid-air, then shaking violently as if coming to life, and finally returning to the [Steel Wings] like magnets.
However, the individual strength, speed, and wing vibrations of the Sky King's minions, as well as the breathing of both enemies and allies, were all within Hawks' grasp.
This time, except for the [Tail Feathers] that maintained his flight, every [Steel Feather] under Hawks' control became a more lethal weapon than bullets.
If one were to describe it, it would be like flying blades with speed and impact similar to bullets but with greater penetration and destructive power.
The black [Steel Feathers] formed a sweeping attack, accompanied by Hawks' killing intent reaching its peak, becoming a sharp black feather blade storm that seemed to slice through the surrounding air.
The countless minions diving down to face the feather blade storm formed layers of walls with their flesh and blood, effectively protecting their [King].
If one were to look up at the sky from the ground in this mountainous area, they would see a scene filled with blood and mist, with [Steel Feathers] stained with filthy blood.
The air in this area became thick with the scent of blood.
However, Hawks' attack was not without effect.
Behind the Sky King's exaggerated wings, there were no more minions to replenish.
Just like when the two sides first met, only a few dozen minions remained.
Hawks, focused, looked at the Sky King and said,
"Is this your highlight?"
The Sky King, with an unchanged arrogant expression, still looked down and smiled.
"Hahaha, how could that be possible!"
"For mere humans to defeat my numerous minion army, you should be proud of your strength."
At this moment, Accelerator, based on various details from the remaining minions of the Sky King, concluded and informed Hawks through the voice system.
"The abilities of those small minions are basically replication types."
"The minions you just cut down, as well as the ones left now, are all replicas or you could say split-offs."
"The real minions are probably hiding behind the Sky King's broad wings, deliberately blocking the view."
The Sky King's wings, also black, span nearly twenty meters when fully spread, with a height between seven to eight meters.
Even though Hawks had not had much contact with Accelerator before this event, he was willing to trust Accelerator's judgment.
Even if it meant taking some risks, it didn't matter.
Just as Hawks had told Accelerator, as long as Endeavor still trusted Accelerator, he would give the same trust to this junior as Endeavor did.
One of Hawks' ultimate moves, the Feather Blade Storm.
Those soft yet hard "Steel Feathers" could be launched three times in a full feather launch.
Without any hesitation, purely based on the junior's speculation, Hawks launched his ultimate move again.
The second round of Feather Blade Storm was slightly different from the first.
If you had to say, it was the attack intensity and the flight curve.
The black Feather Blade Storm that Hawks unleashed in one burst split into two paths.
The main target was the massive Sky King.
The other path continued to climb higher, drawing a beautiful and perfect curve straight towards the Sky King's back.
He sacrificed some attack power to further increase the overall speed of his Feather Storm.
Based on the information obtained from the initial confrontation, Hawks had already gathered data on the Sky King and his minions.
Even if the Sky King could increase his speed limit again, it didn't matter if he dodged the frontal attack and the rear pincer attack.
For now, just eliminating the minion army would solve many problems.
This time, even the arrogant Sky King suddenly became furious.
He roared in anger like a mortal.
"Your courage is truly commendable!"
Even though he could retreat unscathed after fighting the strongest on the ground, the "Symbol of Peace," and although he bore honorable scars, it was of no consequence to the proud Sky King.
The powerful Sky King had noticed the gradual decline from within the "Symbol of Peace" during his battle with All Might.
From his knowledge, it was an irreversible decline.
The Sky King, who considered himself a superior race, had long internalized the concept of human frailty.
The contract with the "League of Villains" was merely a matter of mutual benefit.
After all, the Sky King had great confidence in his own strength.
But this self-proclaimed "King of the Sky" was forced to this extent by the winged hero before him, reduced to choosing between himself or his subordinates.
How could the Sky King not be angry?
Facing the overwhelming Feather Blade Storm, the monster "Sky King" resolutely chose to withstand it head-on.
