Luke couldn't believe it.
First, the idiot Warden, instead of going after Stain, who seemed to have devoured another Nomu, and an Upper Tier or stronger one this time, had come after him.
But if he were to rethink it, this was something Luke had brought upon himself.
Stain, Shigaraki, and Kurogiri's arrival here was a mystery to Alex—their goal unknown. Yes, they had already killed a Hero, making them unforgivable and, for now, the USA's greatest enemy at the Villain Detention Center.
However, with Captain Celebrity here, the Radiants wouldn't let them get away, anyway.
It left Alex only one person to worry about—Dr. Blessed.
An International Criminal and Terrorist, who had the means to subtly infiltrate a highly secured facility like the LA Villains Detention Center, and who could create an escape method on the spot, instead of relying on spatial portals…
Such a man needed not only Alex's utmost, but also careful attention.
That's why, instead of using the 1000% accumulated weight to punch Dr. Blessed, he had first spread it out, trying to hit the Villain with a normal punch, instead?
Still, Luke's mind had only reached this question when something even more baffling occupied his vision.
Out of nowhere, the dead cyborg had resurrected, sending Alex flying with one punch.
If it were only resurrection, then Luke could have made his peace with it as well.
However, this went beyond resurrection… because he could still feel his Spirit Points within Mushroom-nimi!
So, not only had the cyborg come back to life—after the Activation Limit of its Quirks—but it had also preserved all the Quirks, including the Super Complexity one…
… making them its own!!!
As the 12-ft-tall cyborg stood up to its full height in front of Luke, tiny cyan-colored bolts of lightning were crackling around it.
Even the large hole in the stem of its large mushroom head had regenerated.
The cyborg turned around, and its red eyes met Luke's. "… Surprise!"
"…"
Suddenly, Luke's spirituality triggered, making him realize that the extra 1800 kg weight had disappeared along with Alex as well.
From behind, Koichi was rushing at him, the palms of his hands glowing blue.
Mushroom made a fist.
Luke's eyes widened. "Don't hurt him!"
Luke's command had come so fast and so out of context that both Mushroom and Koichi paused, disbelieving the words.
The Cyborg regained its faculties much faster, as it didn't need to question its Master's command.
With an extremely fast rate, a mutation appeared in its palm as it opened its fist, taking the shape of a small mushroom with an overly large cap.
Facing the mushroom cap toward Koichi, Mushroom squeezed.
Pop!
Boooooom!!
A sonic storm raged out of the mushroom, sending Koichi flying, making his Quirk ineffective.
This wasn't the end, though.
In the very next moment, the large mushroom cap on the cyborg's head suddenly began glowing as if millions of cyan-colored stars were embedded in it.
From the gills right under the mushroom cap, hundreds of tiny, cyan-colored spores came whirring out, like drones.
In only a few moments, all the spore-drones whistled across space, latching onto the bodies of Spider Drones.
Mayhem took over the entire battlefield as all the Spider Drones lifted off the ground and began flying in random directions, creating clouds of dust.
Hundreds of meters away, Alex stood up, shaking his head and holding his chest with a jet-black bruise over it. "… It's gonna hurt tomorrow…" he noticed, feeling the broken bones underneath. "… Motherfucking mushroom!"
He'd thought that he could bring Dr. Blessed in easily, just knocking him out with one punch. Who would have thought that he also had a robot as a bodyguard?!
Well… the good thing was… he wouldn't need to hold himself back against a robot, right?
Accumulating 10000% of his weight, making himself invincible once again, Alex lifted his head, his blue eyes searching for the thrice-damned, mushroom-headed robot.
And what he saw made his pupils widen on the spot.
"Oh, no, you don't…" Alex's feet dug into the earth, dozens of meters around him caving in. "… Get back here!"
…
Hero Killer Stain's pupils reflected the same sight that made Alex lose his bearings, too.
Through the mayhem created by glitching, randomly flying Spider Drones, the large mushroom-headed robotic creature was shooting for the sky, carrying four figures.
Dr. Blessed—like the coward he was—was running away!
Not only that, but Stain had already seen Dr. Sam among those figures, the man for whom they had come here, to begin with.
So, this time, as Captain Celebrity came for him, hundreds of muscle tendrils came shooting out of Stain's chest, creating a fleshly wall between them.
Then, two enormous wings, similar to the ones the Near High End Nomu had possessed, came squelching out of his back.
With one flap of those wings, Stain boomed through the Spider Drones, chasing Dr. Blessed, with Christopher Skyline high on his heels.
…
Unconcerned with his stepbrother's newly found assistant, Rikuya thrust the staff toward Kurogiri's neck with gusto, not being affected by the increased gravity anymore.
However, just as the electrified tip of the staff was about to touch Kurogiri, Shigaraki appeared like a wraith, grinning madly, with the tips of his fingers mere millimeters away from Rikuya's head.
A chill ran down Rikuya's spine.
In the very next moment, blasting across space, Bakugo's palm appeared to Rikuya's left.
The grin on Shigaraki's face widened. "Gotcha…"
Pulling back his hand, Shigaraki ducked under the explosion let out by Bakugo and went for his face, instead.
Suddenly, just as the lava-like fingers were about to disintegrate Bakugo's entire existence, a massive, blue blast of air hit Shigaraki's chest, Koichi panting in the distance.
With a boom, Shigaraki was sent flying over Rikuya's body, hit Kurogiri, and then both went rolling down the crater, disappearing into the darkness.
…
In the sky, leaving behind a fiery trail, Mushroom was roaring across space.
In the very next moment, with a stupendous BOOM, the Radiant of Gravity appeared in front of them like an 18,180 kg ballistic missile, his fist raised high.
From the other side, the leader of Claws of Conformity came tearing through space, a touch of blackness appearing on his hand as he made a fist.
From the top, like a meteor, Captain Celebrity fell, his torn cape catching fire as he made a fist as well.
"… Atomic…" Mushroom hissed, hundreds of tiny mushrooms mutating on his fist as he pulled back his hand. "… Fist!"
Before the all-annihilating fists could even meet —
— the entire space exploded, a massive mushroom cloud lighting up the skies of Los Angeles!
