***********************

Chapter Begins:

A bang resounded as Magne's Quirk-Amplified Clone slammed the large magnetic pillar she carried into the chest of the strongest fighter of the Wild, Wild Pussycats—Tiger.

Her original strength already rivaled that of Tiger, who could beat Midoriya at 17% Full Cowl easily.

Even if Magne's innate strength had become weaker by some levels due to her fourth-generation clone status, her amplified Quirk made up for that. The sheer force of attraction and repulsion was enough to hit the Heroes as if she weren't a clone but the real Magne.

On the ground, Tiger coughed up blood, his chest caving in.

His left arm was already bent at hideous angles. And no, it wasn't because of his Pilabody Quirk, which allowed him cat-like agility, letting him even bend and twist his bones.

That arm was broken… crushed by Magne's earlier attacks.

As his vision blackened, Tiger saw the Villain raise the large magnet, wrapped in a white strip of cloth, higher before slamming it down on his head.

With an alarming reaction, Tiger shot backward, flipping to land on his feet.

His left arm dangled lifelessly next to him as he panted, eyeing the Villain.

Then, once again, his feet lifted off the ground, and he flew forward like a bullet, losing all control over his movements.

"Shit!" Tiger cursed as the square tip of the magnet pillar widened in his eyes.

Carrying the pillar effortlessly, Magne grinned. This time… she would smash the Hero's face in and finally lose her attempted murder's virginity.

Suddenly, just as Tiger's face was about to smash into the magnetic pillar, words rang in Magne's mind.

"… Ugly bitch!" The voice cursed. "No wonder no one dated you all your life! What a hideous face!"

Tiger's face brushed against the pillar's edge as he fell, the magnetic force losing its hold on him.

Above him, Magne stood, her body shaking all over. Seething in anger, her eyes were planted dead on Mandalay as she and Spinner fought on equal ground.

Then, sensing eyes on her, Mandalay looked over her shoulder at Mange and… smirked.

"AHHHHH!" Magne's clone roared before charging toward the Pro Hero like a mad bull, even forgetting that she could pull Mandalay toward her using her Quirk.

Spinner, who had been hacking at the Pro Hero with his enormous sword, was also taken aback by Magne's sudden charge.

For a moment, he couldn't put his finger on whether Big Sis Magne had been faking her madness like last time or not. However, when his eyes landed on the large magnet that she always carried on her, now lying on the ground behind her, he knew that things had already taken the worst imaginable turn.

"Big Sis Magne!" Spinner charged toward her. "Get a hold of yourself! She's messing with your head!!"

But Magne's clone couldn't have heard Spinner even if she wanted to.

Finding out that her taunts were working, Mandalay was screaming the nastiest sentences in the clone's mind.

Spinner grabbed Magne's waist but was flung away like a child, despite the clone lacking strength. Then, she made two large fists and lifted them like hammers before slamming them down on Mandalay's head.

An even more massive fist hit the clone's chin squarely first, though.

A squelching-boom resounded as Magne's entire head exploded into a mass of mud, the modified Quirk Amplification Device sparking before breaking into many pieces.

Gobsmacked, Tiger—who had punched Magne—and Mandalay gawked at the headless Villain.

Slowly, the rest of the Villain's body melted into a pile of mud as well, leaving behind a stunned Spinner behind her

The Pros' and the Villain's eyes matched.

And Spinner tightened his grip on the sword, readying himself for the last stand.

Far away from the two Pussycats and Spinner, another BOOM shattered half the mountain.

Midoriya, carrying Kota on his back, was thrown away like a rag doll, bouncing off the stony earth.

A painful grunt escaped Midoriya's throat, his vision darkening… again.

"… Is that it?!" Muscular shouted from afar, pulling out his hand from the broken mountain. "Is that how you were going to save him, Midoriya?!"

Muscular looked like a monster from comics, pure muscle fibers donning him like an inflated suit.

Even if he wasn't as strong as his third-generation clone, who was fighting Rabbit Hero: Mirko now, he wasn't held back by the clone's weakness either.

Opposite him, barely able to remember that he was still alive, was Deku. His left arm was already broken, and his right arm had gone blue after the first use of All For One 100%.

Surprisingly, the Villain had survived that blow, which was equal to All Might's full power, coming back stronger than ever.

It was as if the Villain hadn't been fighting him seriously at all before.

Next to him, a bruised Kota was shaking in fear as he saw Muscular walking toward them.

"… Don't… get scared…" Midoriya managed to say, getting up and looking over his shoulder with a smile. "Why… Because I am here…"

Muscular grinned as he heard those words.

"Nice last words…" With a bang, the Villain charged forward, screaming, "… Midoriya!"

"Detroit…" Midoriya made a fist in return, punching the wall of muscles with his 100%. "… Smash!"

And, as the BOOM echoed off the mountain, the wall of muscles buried him an inch into the ground.

"Oi! That was weaker than before!" Muscular shouted from the other side, laughing like a maniac. "I am gonna crush your head!!"

Buried under the muscles, Midoriya had already lost vision.

Pain had kept him awake, but now that was gone, too.

Suddenly, Midoriya found himself experiencing a déjà vu. It was as if he had returned to the roof of I-Island's tower, a pillar of white fire coming to incinerate them.

I… sure like to become useless when it matters the most… Midoriya thought.

"Yeah," a strong, sweet voice agreed with him in his mind. "That's Luke's humor rubbing off on you… in a good way. Do you want to defeat him, kid?"

Yeah… Midoriya replied.

"Then, clench your butt and repeat after me…"

Outside, a splash of water hit the muscles, making Muscular pause. "Ho?! Same quirk as those two idiots I killed? Wait! Wait for your turn! I will kill you slowly…"

Crackle!

A wave of power pushed the wall of muscles up, making Muscular gasp.

One For All—1,000,000% —

"Delaware—" Midoriya repeated, multicolored stars dancing in his eyes.

—Go Beyond—

"… Detroit…"

— Plus Ultra!

Clenching his butt, Midoriya roared. "SMASH!"

The BOOOOOM sent Muscular flying, burying him into the mountain.

At the same time, as Kota stared at Midoriya's back, remembering Aina's words, and as Midoriya gasped for air… words rang in their minds.

"We have discovered one of the Villains' targets!" Mandalay's voice echoed, carrying an urgency. "It's one of the students—

"—Momo Yaoyorozu!"
