Everyone looked shocked. Why did the attack just lose all its power?
Izuku Midoriya's face was even more confused.
Why couldn't he feel One For All at all?
Shigaraki Tomura suddenly kicked, sending Izuku flying.
"Midoriya!"
Tenya Iida shouted anxiously.
"Dark Shadow!"
Tokoyami raised his right hand and pointed, his neck slightly tilted. For some reason, he felt like his pose looked a bit like someone else's.
Dark Shadow rushed out fast and caught Izuku mid-air.
"Kurogiri! You bastard, you used up the only bullet without permission!"
Shigaraki Tomura yelled furiously at Kurogiri.
Kurogiri landed next to Shigaraki Tomura and bowed his head. "I'm sorry. But if I hadn't done that, you would have..."
Shigaraki scratched his neck like crazy. "Damn it, damn it, damn it!"
He nearly drew blood, then finally waved his hand and shouted, "Mission failed! Retreat!"
"What?!"
Muscular, who was facing off with Yoarashi Inasa, roared, "I still have a score to settle with that brat Arthur! No way I'm retreating!"
"Shut up, Muscular. Follow orders."
Kurogiri spread his body and opened a portal. "Everyone, let's go."
"Too bad. I was hoping to see Arthur-kun."
Toga Himiko kept her crazy smile as she backed into the black mist step by step.
Dabi also stopped fighting Shoto Todoroki, shoved his hands in his pockets, and turned to leave. He sighed, "That was meant for Arthur... what a shame."
"Don't run!"
Shoto Todoroki reached out, trying to stop them.
But Dabi's cold voice came back. "Instead of stopping us, you should head upstairs. Aren't you worried about All Might and the others?"
Shoto's expression changed. He had to pull his hand back.
After the League of Villains completely disappeared, a bunch of people rushed to Izuku Midoriya's side, asking:
"Midoriya, are you okay?"
"Are you hurt?"
"What just happened?"
But Izuku didn't seem to hear any of it. He just stared at his hands. "I... I can't feel One For All anymore..."
He muttered under his breath. "I can't feel it... I can't feel it anymore."
At the same time, in the central control room on the top floor of the Central Tower.
"Finally. You're here,"
Arthur walked out from one side of the room, hands on his hips. "Took you long enough."
"An, Arthur-kun!?"
"An?"
"Wu Arthur-kun, how did you..."
Momo Yaoyorozu, Melissa, and Ochaco Uraraka were completely caught off guard.
Wolfram's eyes went wide. "You... when did you get in here, kid?"
"When did I get in? Heh. Let's just say I've been here the whole time."
Arthur said with a smirk.
"Wh-what?"
Everyone was stunned.
"Cut the act, mercenary. Put on that Quirk enhancement device. That was your plan from the start, right?"
Arthur didn't bother explaining. He just tilted his head.
"What are you talking about? He's hired by me..."
David said in disbelief.
But before he could finish, Wolfram smacked him with a rifle butt and knocked him to the ground.
"Dad!"
Melissa cried out and rushed over to check on David.
Wolfram pulled the Quirk enhancement device out of the case. He glared at Arthur. "You brat. You heard our conversation?"
"Otherwise why do you think I let you live for over ten hours? I could have wiped all of you out at the factory last night."
Arthur looked at him like he was an idiot.
"A guy with a time-stopping Quirk really is arrogant."
Wolfram snorted and said coldly, "Do I even need to explain? If it weren't for this thing, why would I take such a boring job? The whole point was to steal this Quirk enhancement device from you, David Shield."
"I can't believe you were dumb enough to think we'd actually work with you."
Wolfram laughed mockingly.
"How could this..."
David held his bleeding head, in shock.
"Melissa, take your dad and leave. Momo Yaoyorozu, Ochaco Uraraka, you two go too."
Arthur said.
"Arthur-kun, what about you..."
Momo said anxiously.
Right now, she'd completely forgotten what she wanted to ask Arthur.
"None of you"
Bang!!!
Wolfram was about to yell.
Then his whole body got sent flying.
Arthur and The World behind him had already moved to the spot where Wolfram just stood.
Wolfram slid over ten meters across the floor, blood at the corner of his mouth. He gasped, "This... this is The World. The rumored time-stopping Quirk. Lives up to the hype..."
"You guys go first. If a fight breaks out, I won't have time to watch over you."
Arthur said as he helped David up.
Seeing that, Ochaco Uraraka quickly used her Quirk to reduce David's weight to almost nothing. The three girls struggled to support David and hurried down the tower.
"Arthur-kun, please be careful."
"Arthur, be careful."
Right before leaving, Melissa and Momo Yaoyorozu spoke almost at the same time. Then they exchanged surprised looks.
"Got it,"
Arthur turned around, hands on his hips, and muttered to himself, "Seriously. Why did those two have to run into each other?"
"Hehehe..."
Wolfram laughed nonstop, already back on his feet. "What a terrifying ability, Arthur."
"But don't forget. The Quirk enhancement device David Shield made is still in my hands."
Wolfram roared, then slammed the VR-looking device onto his face.
The way he posed made it look like he was saying, "I'm not human anymore."
"I wanted you to put that on the whole time. Why do you think I kept you alive?"
Arthur gave a dangerous smile. "You'd better unleash something stronger than a Nomu. Strong enough to make my The World evolve again."
