MHATG: Chapter 329/330

Chapter 329: The Powerful Wolfram!

"This… this is incredible…"

Haaagh!

All Might let out a battle cry, shifting into a battle stance.

But even with just the simple motion of squatting down and placing his hands on his waist, a powerful gust of wind erupted, sending Kaminari flying ten meters away!

Kaminari shielded his face against the shockwave.

"Thank you, Kaminari boy!!"

Boom!

The next moment, a tornado-like force wrapped around All Might, and in an instant, he shot into the sky like a golden meteor.

Boom!

The ground where he had just been standing caved in completely, leaving behind shattered steel plates and twisted metal, reduced to rubble in an instant.

Kaminari stared blankly at the golden streak soaring through the air and muttered, "Right… twice my power doesn't equal just twice the power of All Might…"

SMASH!

Boom!!

Up in the air, All Might punched a steel pillar, shattering it to pieces. The resulting shockwave sent countless metal fragments flying outward. It was pure, overwhelming brute strength.

"What?!"

Midoriya, Momo, and the others looked on in shock, but as the one facing him, Wolfram was far from pleased.

"How… how?! How did All Might regain his strength?!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

But no matter what Wolfram thought, All Might was closing the distance at unstoppable speed!

Steel pillars, reinforced bars—none of it could get within five meters of him. Every casual movement of his sent powerful gusts of wind roaring through the battlefield.

"Villain, have you ever heard this saying?"

"Break past your limits and go beyond—Plus Ultra!!!"

With a heroic laugh, All Might smashed through another steel pillar. As he closed in to just ten meters from Wolfram, he unleashed an attack on the final layer of metal defenses surrounding him.

"Carolina Smash!!!"

Crossing his arms in front of him, he swung forward with all his might. The air before him exploded into a violent storm, slamming six or seven steel pillars together.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The windstorm acted like an enormous, invisible hand, crushing the steel pillars bit by bit as if breaking bones, before sweeping the debris aside like discarded trash.

The resulting shockwave blasted across the battlefield, forcing Bakugo, Midoriya, and Kaminari back toward Todoroki and Kirishima. The sheer force of the wind made them instinctively raise their arms to shield their eyes.

And then, finally—king versus king!

"Villain, I've found you!"

For a moment, the air before All Might cleared completely, and his sharp blue eyes locked onto Wolfram's piercing purple gaze.

"Prepare yourself, villain!!"

Snort.

Wolfram met All Might's approach without fear, a mocking smirk curling at the edges of his lips.

"Prepare? You should be the one preparing, All Might."

Rip!

As he spoke, he raised his right arm and clenched his fist. The sleeve of his coat tore apart completely, revealing his muscular forearm.

"This is what I should be saying to you, All Might!"

"What?!"

All Might's pupils shrank in shock, his opponent was actually planning to go toe-to-toe with him in raw power?

This villain wasn't a fool. If he dared to take on All Might in a head-on clash, then he must have something up his sleeve!

Boom!!

The next second, under everyone's watchful gaze, the fists of the two titans collided with immense force.

Boom!

As expected, the sheer impact sent a visible shockwave blasting outward, rippling through the battlefield.

But then, something shocking happened, All Might didn't win the clash!

He wasn't overpowered, but the fact that they were evenly matched was already enough to shake everyone to their core.

"How… how is this possible?! That's All Might—the Symbol of Peace!!"

Melissa clutched her face in horror, unable to believe what she was seeing.

"This is unbelievable… in all these years, I've never heard of anyone who could match All Might's strength!" Momo gasped in disbelief.

"Is this… really happening?"

Midoriya looked up at All Might's back, his mind racing.

"Could it be… because he passed One For All to me?"

A pang of guilt hit him. If All Might hadn't transferred his Quirk, would this battle be going differently?

"What's going on…? How does he have this much power?!"

All Might gritted his teeth as he stared at Wolfram up close.

At this moment, Wolfram's entire body was changing once again. His eyes glowed an ominous purple, and his already muscular physique swelled further.

His skin turned bright red, radiating intense heat like smoldering iron. Even his breath came out in white, steaming wisps.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Suddenly, dozens of steel bars shot out from behind All Might, wrapping around his arms, waist, and thighs like sentient chains.

But All Might didn't even flinch. For him, this kind of restraint could be ripped apart with a single flex.

His focus remained locked on Wolfram's transformed body—until, in his mind, the image of another black-clad figure surfaced.

"This power… muscle augmentation… He has multiple Quirks… Could it be—?!"

"Ahh, it seems you've figured it out, All Might."

Wolfram raised his blazing fist, his smirk widening.

"Yes… Before I carried out this plan, the legendary ruler of darkness contacted me himself."

"He told me he absolutely had to assist me in this operation. When I asked why, he simply said…"

"'Since All Might's best friend has strayed from the right path, I want to help him… no matter what.'"

"It's just a shame I won't get to see All Might's humiliated, heartbroken face when he realizes the truth."

"…So it really is him."

All Might clenched his jaw, veins bulging in his forehead as he roared:

"All For One!!"

(To be continued.)

Chapter 330: The Appearance of the Ame-no-Murakumo Sword!

"Haha! So he gave me some interesting Quirks—Muscle Augmentation, Arm Strength Enhancement, Scorching Skin!"

Wolfram laughed as he looked up at the sky, then sneered as he turned his gaze back to All Might.

"But I never expected that, under the effects of David Shield's invention, these Quirks would grow so much stronger!"

He let out a mocking chuckle, his expression filled with amusement.

"It's just a shame that even with this newfound power, these Quirks, boosted by the device still haven't evolved like my own."

"But… the strength given to me by David Shield is more than enough to kill you and those brats! Hahahahaha!"

The next moment, the metal on the battlefield surged once again. At the same time, Wolfram tore off his windbreaker and charged toward All Might himself.

"Die, Symbol of Peace!"

Boom!

All Might's body trembled as he shattered the steel bars restraining him. Golden electricity crackled around him as he rushed forward with unwavering determination.

Kaminari's powerful stimulant and God-Speed had given him renewed strength and confidence!

"SMASH!"

Bang! Bang!—Bang! Bang! Bang!

BOOM!!!

In an instant, the two fighters clashed once more, their battle fiercer than ever. Fists met fists, legs collided with legs both sides trading blows relentlessly!

Golden lightning, surging shockwaves, scalding steam, beast-like roars, the sound of shattering steel pillars, the dull impact of fists striking flesh, the second round of battle erupted in full force!

"They're… so strong!" Midoriya raised his arm to shield himself as he shouted to Uraraka.

"This reminds me of the attack on USJ… except this battle is even more intense," Todoroki muttered, using his flames to melt the frost on his body.

"Damn it!"

Bakugo clenched his aching arm in frustration, his teeth grinding as he watched the battle unfold.

"We can't even get involved!"

Kaminari narrowed his eyes, deep in thought. Something was off. He couldn't put his finger on it, but it felt like all of them, including All Might, had overlooked something crucial.

"But what was it?"

His train of thought was interrupted when he noticed the pain on Bakugo's face. Pushing his doubts aside for now, he reached into his Coat and pulled out a syringe.

"Hah?! What the hell is that?!"

Ignoring Bakugo's irritated glare, Kaminari smirked.

"Your arm's hurting, right? This is a powerful painkiller—it should help."

"Tch, I don't need it. Get that thing away from me!" Bakugo scoffed, turning his head away in defiance.

Kaminari couldn't help but chuckle at his typical stubbornness. "Oh? So you're just gonna stand here and watch while we keep fighting?"

"If you're feeling tired and want to sit this one out, then fine, don't use it." He shrugged and retracted his arm.

"Ugh, so annoying!"

Barely a second later, Bakugo snatched the syringe, jamming it into his arm with an irritated grunt.

"Without me, you idiots would never beat that bastard!"

Kirishima grinned and gave him a thumbs-up. "That's the spirit, Bakugo!"

"Shut up, you damn redhead!" Bakugo barked back, clearly embarrassed.

"Heh… hehehe," Kaminari shook his head with a laugh, then turned his focus back to the battle.

At the same time, he noticed something peculiar—his Electricity Absorbing Quirk had remained active this entire time.

"Alright… time to test something out."

Taking a few steps forward, he caught the attention of Jiro, Momo, and the others.

ZZZT! ZZZT! ZZZT!

Kaminari raised both hands, facing his palms toward each other with only a ten-centimeter gap between them.

Immediately, arcs of golden lightning burst forth, crackling between his hands. The sound of Raikiri's signature high-pitched chirping filled the air.

"Kaminari, what are you—?" Jiro stared at him in shock.

But Kaminari didn't respond—he was fully focused on refining his Quirk's control.

ZZZT! ZZZT! ZZZT!

His classmates watched in awe as the dark golden electricity in Kaminari's palms began to form a solid connection, gathering at a rapid pace.

Snap!

Then, in an instant, Kaminari clapped his hands together.

Shing—!

Just as Momo was about to ask what he was doing, Kaminari slowly spread his palms apart again.

A golden energy sword, formed from high-voltage electricity, materialized between them!

"I… did it!" Kaminari grinned.

But just as he reached out to grasp the hilt.

CRACK!

The sword suddenly shattered, dissipating into scattered sparks. His face stiffened.

"...That didn't last long."

"Did it fail?" Todoroki asked, his expression neutral.

But deep inside, he was stunned. Can Kaminari's Quirk actually manipulate electricity to form weapons?!

"Fail?"

Kaminari thought for a moment, then glanced at Kyoka's worried face before flashing a confident grin.

"Failure doesn't exist for me!"

ZZZT! ZZZT! ZZZT!

He activated Raikiri once again, bringing his palms together before slowly pulling them apart.

This time, the golden energy sword reappeared, brighter and more stable than before.

Carefully, Kaminari gripped the hilt.

One second… two seconds… three seconds… ten seconds passed.

The sword remained intact.

With a deep breath, Kaminari raised the blade, then swung it forward.

Shing—!

A brilliant golden arc slashed through the air. The sword sliced cleanly through the steel-plated ground beneath his feet, just like a knife through soft wood.

Its cutting power wasn't as extreme as Raikiri, but for slicing through steel and metal, it was perfect.

"Success!"

Kyoka was the first to cheer, her voice filled with excitement. She didn't fully understand the sword's capabilities, but all that mattered was that Kaminari had done it.

Kirishima grinned. "That was awesome! What's it called?"

"A name…?"

Kaminari glanced down at the glowing blade in his hand, then turned to look at All Might, still battling fiercely in the distance.

"The Ame-no-Murakumo Sword!"

"Huh?" Midoriya blinked in confusion. "Isn't that a legendary artifact from history?"

"That's right, it's the sword of the gods!" Kaminari grinned.

"And I'll make sure it lives up to its name! Now then… I'm going in!"

Crack!

The next second, Kaminari activated High-Voltage Shock Mode. With his Ame-no-Murakumo Sword gleaming in his grasp, he became a streak of golden light, rushing into battle.

"Kaminari!!!"

"Damn it, that bastard's charging in first again!" Bakugo growled.

BOOM!

Flames erupted as explosions sent him hurtling into the air, his silhouette outlined against the moonlit sky.

Meanwhile, Todoroki summoned a massive iceberg, freezing everything in his path as he re-entered the fray.

The battle… was far from over!
