— Chapter 271 —

All for One looked at the ridiculous scene with a dumbfounded expression.

Yunlong pumped his sword intent and million swords directed at AFO’s head.

Imagining a million gigantic swords were about to come over your head would be a terrifying experience, and this is not an illusion.

“KUROGIRI!” All for One shouted.

A purplish mist started to cover AFO’s body, but Yunlong won’t let him run away and sealed the space around them with his spatial manipulation.

“You can’t run.” Yunlong stabbed AFO’s leg with his compressed Susanoo’s bone swords.

All for One tried to use [White Light Grace], but Yunlong’s Susanoo possessed a unique property where any damage he dealt was impossible to recover.

Not to mention the Amaterasu, which burned violently on the blade. AFO must feel searing pains on his right leg and left arm right now.

“ARRRGHHH! Why won’t it heal!!!” All for One grimaced at his wounds.

On the verge of panic, AFO cut off his limbs and regenerated in a flash. He breathed heavily and moved his gaze to Yunlong with angered yet frightened eyes.

He was angry because an unknown young man could injure him in such a way but also frightened by his mysterious power.

‘A God, that can’t be.’ He thought while calming himself down.

As if Yunlong could hear what AFO thought, a sharp giant sword fell from the sky and touched the ground beside him.

SWING! BOOM!

The entire ground violently trembled because of the sword’s strike, which created a mini earthquake.

All for One couldn’t react quickly to what happened to him, but it was too fast for him. He slowly glanced at his nonexistent right arm, which had disappeared cleanly.

“ARGHHH!!!”

“Are you wondering why [Linked Damage] didn’t work?” Yunlong playfully commented. “First, I need to attack you physically, no?”

“H-How did you, and no one should-.” All for One has a speechless expression.

“Thanks for the confirmation.” Yunlong chuckled, which left AFO more dumbfounded.

“The quirk activation should be a direct attack, so now I don’t have to hesitate.”

“What should I cut next?”

“Your leg?”

“Another Arm?”

“Maybe your head?”

“It was nice to have my quirk, no?” Yunlong asked while tilting his head. “You can heal pretty fast and become semi-immortal.”

“However, it consumes your stamina.”

“Just how long will you preserve, All for One?”

“That was one sword attack. We still have 999,999 swords left to go.”

Yunlong picked out a bright pink pill and skillfully threw it into AFO’s mouth, leaving him gagged for a second.

“With that pill, your body becomes 100x times more sensitive to pain.”

He threw a paper at AFO’s neck and created a tiny bleed, but the pain was like his entire neck incapacitated.

Yunlong grinned coldly and whispered, “Don’t worry, I’ve prepared everything to make sure you feel the most painful experience.”

“It would be worse than death~.”

Bibi Dong placed the barrier around the battlefield, so there shouldn’t be further damage outside the destroyed area.

“ARRRRGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!”

All for One’s painful groan echoed in the Kamino. Everyone, who witnessed this from live news, couldn’t hold an urge to throw up just because of how brutal Yunlong playfully tortured the number one villain.

Every time a sword falls, one of AFO’s limbs would disappear, and a painful experience worse than death will haunt his mind.

He couldn’t even create a barrier in time.

“Come on. We just used 100 swords?” Yunlong glanced at the stacked giant swords, and AFO’s body was buried deeply in the ground.

He could sense AFO’s body healed automatically with [White Light Grace], but it was more like a curse than a blessing for him now.

“1000.”

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

“10.000.”

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

“100.000.”

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

“Why so quiet?” Don’t worry. You can have the rest of them…”

BOOOOOOOM!

In this brief moment, the entire Makano, no the whole japan were silent at this scenery.

.

.

.

Yunlong deactivated his martial soul and lowered his gaze to the deep hole he made.

All for One lay with a faint white light covering his body, which basically has turned into a meat blob.

The only thing intact was his head, but his eyes seemed lifeless without any spark of light.

Yunlong jumped into the hole and landed on AFO’s head, which he stomped lightly.

“Are you still there?”

“K-Kill me…”

“If my death satisfied you… T-Then kill me right now…”

All for One responded with a meek yet dying voice.

He doesn’t even have enough energy to open his lips properly anymore.

“Oh, you think it will be over after I kill you?”

“No, no, no…”

“You’re wrong.”

“Do you think I don’t know you’ve planted a piece of your consciousness on someone else?”

Yunlong picked AFO’s head by his hair and said, “I’ll keep your soul in my hell forever, making you feel every painful experience there.”

“It’s been years since you killed me, but here I am to pull you down to hell with me.”

All for One’s eyes widened, but it was apparent his fear spiked up, and he died out of panic.

[You have killed All for One]

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony activated]

[You have devoured-]

“Stop. Don’t devour the soul.” Yunlong solemnly commanded.

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony confused]

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony sensed your extreme emotion and nodded silently]

Yunlong brought out AFO’s soul and used Gluttony to maintain a sub-space filled with darkness and loneliness.

“This is the perfect place for your soul, All for One.” He commented while throwing the soul into the sub-space.

He stretched his body slightly and flew with angel wings on his back.

The news helicopter caught his appearance and broadcasted his new look on the entire country.

“Angel…” A high-school girl muttered.

Even after witnessing such gruesome scenery a few moments ago, people still were caught off guard by an unknown hero’s appearance.

“You don’t have to worry anymore.” Yunlong glanced at the camera. “He died.”

He disappeared and arrived on the building top, where Katsuki repelled villains with his explosion.

A tingle of cold sweat ran down on everyone’s head on that building top, but Yunlong didn’t particularly care about their reaction.

“You killed sensei… I must kill you, must kill you!” Tomura lunged himself forward to Yunlong.

Yunlong casually clenched his fist, and Tomura exploded into a puddle of blood.

[You have killed Tomura Shigaraki]

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony activated]

[You have devoured Tomura Shigaraki’s soul and a fragment of All for One’s soul]

[You have obtained [Decay] and [All for One]]

He glanced over the rest of the villains and walked toward Kurogiri because he possessed that person’s location.

Yunlong used his sharingan and put Kurogiri in a deep illusion.

After a brief moment, he casually picked Kurogiri away and teleported himself to Bibi Dong’s location.

“Let’s go.” He said to Bibi Dong, who nodded her head.

The other villains swiftly ran away from the location, but Himiko Toga couldn’t help but lick her lips for some reason.

“He killed All for One and Shigaraki easily, ahh… so hot.” She whispered while running in the dark alley.

“I wonder if I can meet him again~.”

Katsuki Bakugou fell onto the concrete and released a sigh of relief. “What was that presence…” He said.

“Just what’s his quirk?”

“No, are those even quirk, to begin with?”

— Jaku General Hospital —

Kyudai Garaki, a middle-aged bald man who wore a unique goggle, sat on his chair with a horrified look.

“All for One died…” He grimly looked at the television.

“Yes, he is.” Yunlong suddenly appeared in front of him.

Kyudai Garaki hatefully stared at Yunlong and pulled a gun from his coat.

“DIE!” He fired a bullet.

Bang!

Yunlong was uninterested and casually caught the bullet with his left hand.

“Futile resistance.” He crushed the bullet into dust and released it off his hand.

He walked toward the bald doctor and cast [Kotoamatsukami] on him, making the villain his loyal subordinate.

Kyudai won’t dare to defy Yunlong’s order after this because he believed he was his master all along, and it was his own choice.

Yunlong believed [Kotoamatsukami] is a broken technique comparable to [Heavenly Ruler], one of his most powerful abilities.

However, even the original could only cast [Kotoamatsukami] three times a month, while he could only use it once as a clone.

Of course, deep hypnotism will work too, but it won’t be as effective as [Kotoamatsukami].

“What’s your order, master?” Kyudai knelt.

“Gather all invention, research, and tools you have built and made. After that, put those into this.” Yunlong threw a spatial ring, which had a space comparable to a warehouse.

He injected spiritual and soul energy into the spatial ring, which granted Kyudai a unique print so that he could use it easily.

“I’ll gladly do it as fast as possible.” Kyudai nodded his bald head. “Anything else, Master?”

Yunlong wondered for a second and added, “Give me all information related to the inventor, strategist, and unique individual in this world.”

Kyudai quickly reached over a tablet on his table and transferred every information.

Even though it wasn’t complete because every second something unique appeared in the other part of the world, it’s vast enough to give Yunlong a candidate for his future subordinate.

“Neo, can you transfer all the data into my mind?” Yunlong instructed.

[Scanning the source device…]

[Transfer…]

[…]

[…]

[Completed]

“Nice.” Yunlong smiled. “I’ll be back in a day.”

“Prepare yourself. I’ll open your eyes to the new world.”

Kyudai excitedly nodded his head, and Yunlong disappeared from his view, leaving the room quiet again.

Knock! Knock!

“Chairman, are you okay?” A nurse knocked on his door. “I heard a loud noise just now.”

“I’m okay.” Kyudai naturally answered. “It’s just that I dropped a ceramic pot accidentally.”

“Haha, clumsy me.” He added with a chuckle.

“Ah, I see…” The nurse responded. “Then, I’ll continue my round to the third ward.”

Kyudai glanced at the television again and sighed, “If only you didn’t offend the master, he wouldn’t have killed you All for One.”

“How unfortunate.”

— Musutafu, Shizuoka. —

Takoba Municipal Beach Park.

Bibi Dong was waiting on the beach and calmly staring at the sea.

Yunlong appeared beside her and handed a warm chai tea to her.

“How do you feel?” Bibi Dong asked while drinking the chai tea.

He wryly smiled and answered, “I’m relieved.”

“At least I don’t feel stuck anymore.” He added while observing the calm morning sea.

“I see.” Bibi Dong nodded.

They stayed in their position for an hour and saw a car approaching them gradually from behind.

All Might walked out of the car and looked at them solemnly.

“What do you want, All Might?” Yunlong asked without even turning his head. “With your current condition, it’s not a good move to fight me.”

All Might stood there mute and responded, “Who are you? No, maybe what you are is a more appropriate question.”

“When I saw a recording of your display of power, It’s simply out of this world.”

“Are you an alien?”

“Pfft… Hahaha.” Yunlong couldn’t hold his laughter for a moment.

“I’m not an alien, fortunately.” He answered with a smile. “I was once from this world too, you know.”

“Huh? What do you mean?” All Might was confused by Yunlong’s answer.

Yunlong adjusted his vocal cord slightly and said, “How are you, Uncle Toshinori.”

“Eh.” All Might’s eyes widened, and his hand trembled when hearing this childish boy voice.

He observed Yunlong from behind and didn’t see any resemblance to the former.

“R-Ryuu shounen, is that you?” All Might stuttered because he remembered the boy died in his arms.

“I’m not him anymore, but technically yes,” Yunlong replied while eating a pill from his inventory. “I won’t say how I ended like this, though.”

“It’s not like they are a threat for me, but I prefer answering without being annoyed.” He indifferently continued because a few presences pointed their weapon at him.

All Might realized what Yunlong meant and quickly raised his hand at the heroes, who observed them from afar.

Snipe, who noticed All Might’s sign, lowered his gun and felt something cold touch his neck.

A small golden needle has floated beside him, which also happened to everyone ready, who monitored Yunlong from afar.

“But, how…?!” Snipe mumbled in disbelief because he was 600km away from the [Unknown].

It’s only been a few hours since the Villain’s Hideout Raid, and Yunlong has received a title [Unknown] by the world government.

[Unknown], a silver-haired young man with unique/monstrous quirks/abilities, from [Extreme Bloodlust], [Material Manipulation], [Size Manipulation], [Telekinesis], [Black Flame], [Unknown Martial based on Kyokushin Karate ], [Angel like Wings], and possibly [Physical Strength Enhancement].

There is a possibility that [Unknown] possessed more quirk, but he hasn’t shown them yet.

The [Unknown] killed AFO based on revenge with no further objective so far, and nevertheless, with such an amount of power, he’s a clear threat to this world.

“I’m not even sure [Star and Stripe] could win against such a monster.” Snipe glanced at All Might, who approached [Unknown] with a calm expression.

“Ryuu shounen, what’s your motive after killing All for One?” All Might asked naturally.

“I don’t know.” Yunlong shrugged his shoulders. “Don’t worry. I’m not interested in this world.”

“That’s the answer you wanted, right?”

He pointed at a mini camera on All Might’s hero suit and playfully added, “Right?”

— Secret Conference Room —

All the world leaders’ holograms gathered to witness Yunlong’s confrontation with Japan’s heroes. A big screen projector perfectly was placed in the center of the room.

When Yunlong pointed his finger at them, some of them frowned immediately.

“He’s a threat. We must take measures to control him.”

“With what?”

“Have you seen his ridiculous ability? He could sweep Japan with those skyscrapers like swords if he wanted to.”

“People said he was a descended god, which is more likely true.”

“That kind of ability wasn’t on a human’s level.”

“I know some of you want to use Nuclear Bomb, but don’t you think [Unknown] could easily slash those bombs with his giant swords.”

“If he knew we reacted in such a bad way. He could have dropped a million swords on us.”

“Think about it…”

“This is beyond common sense.”

The room was quiet because no one could deny those statements. [Unknown]’s display of power was simply out of this world.

“Let’s wait… All Might seems to know [Unknown] from the past.”

“He might be able to converse more calmly with him.”

“That’s true…”

Meanwhile, Yunlong has instructed Neo to scan the camera’s connection and basically locate every world leader’s current location.

Neo also collected some secret information from each country, and some of them were darker than AFO’s crime.

“Wise move,” Yunlong’s voice echoed in the conference room as he smirked at the camera. “I’ll definitely drop a sword as a warning if you offended me.”

“He noticed us…?!”

“No, you are wrong.”

“[Unknown] noticed us from the start.”

“We walked into his trap and danced on his palm.”

The world leaders released a cold sweat, but Yunlong only waved his hand casually at them.

“Don’t do stupid things. I warned you guys, okay?” Yunlong flicked a pebble and destroyed the camera into pieces.

“Now, let’s go.” He jumped off the concrete wall.

He was followed by Bibi Dong and walked past All Might, who stood there speechless.

“Where do you want to go?” He hurriedly asked.

Yunlong tilted his head and answered, “Hmm? U.A? I want to meet Grandma, the Recovery Girl.”
