----------
Then, Shigaraki Tomura covered the right side of his face where he had been punched, blood gushing from his nostrils and mouth, and said with resentment, "Damn it! It hurts!"
"Hehehe…Hahahahaha...!!!!"
Itadori first chuckled softly, then laughed loudly, and finally laughed wildly. He looked up at the ceiling and shouted in ecstasy, "It's done!!!"
Kirishima, Bakugo and others who rushed over were all stunned when they saw Itadori's appearance.
"Finally done! Thank you so much, League of Villains!!!"
No one realized it at first.
The punch from Nomu with 100% power just now was less than one centimeter away from the head of [The World].
It would have taken less than 0.1 seconds to smash both Itadori and The World's heads together.
In Itadori's eyes, the time and space of the whole world stopped at that moment.
For a moment, he thought it was just an illusion, just as a trained boxer or someone in a car accident might experience—a single moment that seems as long as seconds or minutes.
In that moment, [The World] lifted up its master, Itadori, and carried him behind Shigaraki Tomura.
It wasn't an illusion!
Just as exhaling follows inhaling, just as breaking a pencil in your fingers, it was something natural!
The gears of time overlapped with [The World]!
"What on earth is this guy talking about?" Shigaraki Tomura repeated the question again, not noticing that his voice had begun to tremble.
"Be careful, Shigaraki, his aura is completely different from before!" Kurogiri felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
Aside from All for One, the only person who had ever made him feel this way was All Might.
"So what?" Shigaraki Tomura waved his hand dismissively, "Nomu!"
Nomu rushed forward, passing by Shigaraki Tomura and Kurogiri, and charging at Itadori at a speed no one could track.
"Heh, the monster developed for All Might is worthy of me to test. I'll show you! The true power of [The World]—the power to change the world!"
Itadori waved his arms and shouted passionately.
"It's coming!" Kurogiri's eyes narrowed in fear.
The next moment, Itadori raised his index finger toward Nomu.
"Smash it!!!"
What everyone heard was Itadori's loud roar.
Then, to their disbelief, Nomu, who had just charged toward Itadori and was about to land a fierce punch on his forehead, suddenly spun 180 degrees.
The massive body completely turned in another direction, aiming an attack at Kurogiri and Shigaraki Tomura instead.
Nomu's eyes shifted in confusion as it tried to stop itself, but it was too late! The greater the force it applied, the harder it was to brake because of inertia.
Kurogiri and Shigaraki Tomura's faces changed drastically as Nomu's fist smashed the ground where they stood. The two were sent flying toward the ceiling of the USJ training ground like baseballs hit out of the park.
"Wha-what!?"
Shigaraki Tomura's head was covered in blood, but he no longer cared about the pain in his body. Only endless shock filled his mind.
Why?
Why was Nomu clearly attacking that brat, but in the next instant, it turned and struck him and Kurogiri?
Kurogiri expanded his gaseous form, enveloping Shigaraki Tomura and reappearing beside Nomu. Despite his efforts, Kurogiri was clearly injured, his breathing labored as he released Shigaraki.
"To...just now, what happened?" Kurogiri's tone was filled with disbelief.
"Gugugugu...?" Itadori let out a strange, arrogant laugh that made Shigaraki Tomura furious.
He waved his hand and yelled, "Damn it! Nomu! Kill that guy!"
Nomu didn't hesitate and charged again, fist ready.
"Wait! Shigaraki-kun, we don't know the extent of his power!" Kurogiri tried to intervene, but it was too late.
Nomu lunged for the third time, its fist mere inches from Itadori.
BOOM!!!
The sheer force of the blow uprooted all the trees around them. This time, Shigaraki Tomura and Kurogiri were blasted back even faster than before.
Exactly the same as before! Nomu unknowingly changed direction and struck its allies instead.
Kurogiri once again encased Shigaraki in his form, attempting to save him.
"Cough...cough!!!"
Shigaraki Tomura was now badly injured, kneeling on the ground as blood poured from his mouth. When he looked up, his face was filled with confusion and anger as he stared at Itadori and [The World] beside him.
"What on earth did this guy did?"
"Shigaraki! Retreat!" Kurogiri, casting a fearful glance at Itadori, urged, "We don't even know his ability. We can't fight him!"
Not only the League of Villains but even the students in Class A were shocked beyond belief.
"Hey! Did you see that?" Kirishima asked Bakugo, Todoroki, and others around him.
Bakugo stared at Itadori in the center of the square, gritting his teeth as cold sweat trickled down his face.
Todoroki solemnly shook his head, "No, I don't get it. The monster was about to attack Itadori, but somehow it turned and attacked its own allies instead."
"Momo, what exactly is Itadori's quirk? Did he, did he do something?" Mina asked Momo beside her.
"No, I don't know." Momo shook her head in amazement, "I've never seen Itadori use an ability like this."
BAM!
Suddenly, the doors to the USJ training ground burst open. A tall figure stepped inside.
"It's all right now!"
The figure had his iconic bangs, though his usual bright smile was missing.
"All Might..."
Everyone turned to look at the new arrival. Under normal circumstances, they'd have cheered at their savior's arrival.
But after witnessing Itadori's unbelievable power…
"Because I am here!"
No one had yet recovered from the shock of [The World].
"What's going on? Everyone?" All Might asked, a bit confused by the students' expressions.
Walking quickly into the training ground, All Might noticed the severely injured Aizawa being carried by Asui, anger filling his face.
"Are you the ones who caused all of this?!"
All Might looked down at the center of the field and addressed Itadori, "Young Itadori, you fall back now! I'll handle this!"
Itadori turned his head, chuckling, "While I could kill the other two, I don't have a way to kill Nomu yet. So, I'll leave him to you."
As Itadori retreated, neither Kurogiri nor Shigaraki Tomura dared to attack again. The repeated "rebounds" had left them terrified.
"Sorry, even though we're excited to have you here, we're ready to retreat." Kurogiri, already wounded, said with forced politeness to All Might, who was slowly advancing toward him.
"Are you kidding me!?" All Might was furious, "You attacked Aizawa-kun and No. 13, injuring or even killing students—and now you think you can just walk away? How could such a thing happen!?"
Kurogiri gestured to All Might's left rear, pointing at Itadori, who had just reabsorbed [The World] into himself, "You may want to focus on the student behind you rather than us. Do you truly understand that boy's power?"
All Might froze, taken aback by Kurogiri's words.
