Nobu was moving decisively towards the place of the strong shockwave together with Ningen. The real Nobu was deeply hurt that he killed the second person, but Ash continued to suppress and suppress the emotions that were unnecessary for "him". Nobu continued to fight this creature, which now had the name Ash. The remnants of Nobu's consciousness ordered Ningen.
- Find grandma and Ryuji, make sure that they are safe. - the man with black hair named Ningen agreed. Nobu understood that there was no time to hesitate, Ash was progressing too quickly. He felt the fear and despair of the inevitable, Nobu was still just a boy, albeit a rather smart one. However, he had a plan, if there really was a person who could steal someone else's quirk, he could use it for his own purposes. It was necessary to act, if such anger broke out with such force - the consequences could be irreversible.
- As you command, sir. - they separated. Ningen was surprised that the young master was not a psychopath, but a rather sensitive child. Although he could also notice the duplicity that was creeping up on him from nowhere. He decided to serve him for himself, even if his faith in Nobu was unstable. Ningen needed support, motivation to move forward, he found it in this boy when he shone as if he was on top of this world. For a second, it seemed to him that Nobu was stronger than anyone, even Endeavor was a worthless bug.
All the residents except Teruko and Ryuji were teleported by a purple haze to an unknown laboratory, and All For One mocked Takeda, standing near the tree on which Takeda himself was sitting, completely not understanding what to do next, because Absorption could not be used again for a long time.
- What a pitiful sight. You should have found out more about the customer. In any case, this will not help you, it's time to finish. - All For One threw the cowardly mercenary out of the tree with a blow from his giant hand to the trunk, breaking the tree. Takeda fell to the ground and was crushed by the log.
- Aaah!! Let me go, scum! You-you won't know about me, I swear! W-you want money? - the coward tried to save his skin to the end, as any adequately thinking person would do, but in his case...
- I've been called a liar, a thief, a villain, even a coward and the purest manifestation of evil, but no one would ever dare call me a traitor. I hate traitors like you. You betrayed your squad. - All For One didn't wait for a reaction, grabbed him by the neck and took away the quirk "Absorption". It so happened that he had a quirk "Release" and it was just perfect for "Absorption". His rather old Quirk, "Quirk Synthesis", which can only combine three Quirks and then disappear, manifested itself and merged the Quirk "Absorption and Release". "Quirk Synthesis" is now inactive, this was the last attempt.
- "It fit perfectly, as I planned." - The nature of Quirks did not allow for the creation of super-powerful Quirks by mixing them, even "Quirk Synthesis" is affected by genetic limitations, creating errors and flaws. Only one time was an exception for the universe - this was the birth of All-For-One. Even All For One could not fully control such a complex system of birth, editing, changing Quirks. Only adjust. Now he has what he called the Triad of Superpowers. "Now these are real superpowers, not just half-baked quirks." This trio includes:
Fatigue Relief + Time Loop = Rollback
Bone Seal + Muscle Spiral = Skeletal Muscle Spiral
Absorption + Release = Absorption and Release
These abilities still have drawbacks, but minimal, according to All For One's calculations they are capable of revealing 100% of their potential. - "If they are strengthened..." - All For One was interrupted by a sharp silhouette flying out, instilling quiet indignation at why such a young child was given such great power. All For One was determined to take it away, even though he did not know about its disadvantages, he hoped to extinguish these disadvantages with other quirks in his arsenal.
- Hoo-h. - Nobu exhaled, standing next to All For One. He felt an unprecedented feeling from this man. It was the feeling of being on the verge of defeat, giving up everything for his goal. This feeling of absolute suppression and dominance. All for One was able to instill such awe in those around him. Ash realized, the battle had already begun, but only in their minds. He had to play no less cunningly and wisely. Fear was gathering, like the Ash personality, he resisted with all his might until his nose bled, each time he showed resistance, All for One finally decided to speak first.
- There are many strong children of Himura. But you... you are the strongest of them. Even Endeavor and his children are nothing compared to you. Of course, not without its flaws, but with intelligence, this power is perfect.
- You are wrong... - all that Nobu managed to say before Ash took control of his mind. - You are right! - All For One observed this strange variability, but did not particularly suspect the duplicity of this quirk.
- You must be out of your mind with such power. I understand! I've been through something similar, but a strong opponent will teach you. Always taught.
Ash flew up and rushed into the sky, capturing more and more heat emitted by the Sun, the further from the surface, the greater the access to radiation. Near the stratosphere, when it would be unacceptable for an ordinary person to breathe, Ash collected more and more heat into the source. All for One understood this process. "The quirk has already demonstrated almost all the types of interactions that are known. We can't miss this!" All for One used the quirk Air Walk and Acceleration of Flows, he rushed towards Ash collecting energy. And delivered a crushing blow, it would seem, with the quirk Skeletal Muscle Spiral. The air trembled and the sky opened up.
Ash activated the jet stream and ejected air under extreme pressure, pushing out the villain. All For One crashed into a massive mountain formation at the speed of sound, scattering fragments around. - "This will be harder than I thought. You can't get close to it. It throws out highly compressed air and..." - All For One teleported to another place, before the strongest attack, melting the rock, the rocks cracked, turning everything into magma, which scattered for kilometers.
"Come on, I know, this is not the strongest attack" - thought All For One, waiting for the moment.
- Haha! What an incredible power. No one would even see this attack! - All For One once again thanked the quirk of Infrared Vision.
Meanwhile, Teruko and Ryuji tried to understand what was happening. The heavens opened up, it was unclear where the explosions were heard. - What's going on?!" he asked the old woman, who did not understand anything. She herself did not know the answer.
A man came out from behind a tree, who looked like the mercenary who had threatened them and hit Ryuji.
Ryuji pounced on him in a fit of anger, but he didn't have enough strength to knock the man down and simply fell.
"I'm not your enemy, there's no time to explain, I'm from Himura." - that's what Nobu asked to tell the man, so that they would believe him. Of course, it was a bluff, but there was a chance that at least Teruko would believe that help had come for them.
"I-if Himura is here and knows what's going on...Where is Nobu?"
