On the other side of USJ, the students found themselves scattered across different zones, each facing their own set of challenges. Some landed in the shipwreck zone, others in the landslide area, while a few were left stranded near the conflagration section.
Midoriya, Asui, and Mineta had ended up in the shipwreck zone, struggling to stay afloat as villains lurked in the murky waters. The sight of their twisted grins and sharpened weapons made Mineta whimper in fear, his hands trembling as he clung to a broken piece of debris.
"W-we're gonna die!" Mineta cried out, his voice barely audible over the crashing waves.
"Calm down" Asui said in her usual monotone voice, though even she seemed tense.
"We need to think of a plan."
Midoriya wiped the water from his eyes, trying to analyze their situation. "They're keeping their distance, they must be waiting for us to tire out before attacking."
Asui nodded. "That means we need to act first."
Meanwhile, in the landslide zone, Bakugo and Kirishima stood back to back, surrounded by a group of sneering villains.
"Heh" one of them smirked, cracking his knuckles. "You kids really think you stand a chance?"
"Shut up" Bakugo growled. His hands crackled with small explosions.
"You extras picked the wrong hero to mess with."
Kirishima grinned, his body hardening like stone. "Damn right. Let's show these losers what we got!"
In another part of the battlefield, Todoroki stood alone, ice already creeping across the ground. His expression remained cold as a villain charged at him, only to be instantly frozen in place.
"They're weak" he muttered under his breath, his breath visible in the cold air.
While the students fought for survival, Aizawa had his hands full dealing with a swarm of villains. His scarf lashed out, wrapping around one attacker's neck before slamming him into the ground. He dodged another strike, erasing a villain's Quirk before countering with a brutal takedown.
But despite his efficiency, his eyes flickered towards the center of the battlefield—towards Radahn. And what he saw made his stomach tighten.
Radahn was fighting the Nomu.
Aizawa had dealt with many powerful enemies in his time, but this creature, it was on another level. It may took All Might's full strength to handle something like this. But Radahn was holding his own. No, more than that—he was dominating.
Radahn tightened his grip on Nomu's throat, his golden eyes flashing with golden glow. With a sudden burst of strength, he hurled the monstrous creature straight into the ground.
BOOM!
The force of impact sent a thunderous shockwave rippling through the battlefield, creating deep fractures across the cracked concrete. The sheer weight of the Nomu's body caused the ground to cave in slightly, forming a crater beneath it. Dust and debris exploded into the air, obscuring the battlefield for a moment.
But Radahn didn't wait. In a blur, he descended like a meteor, slamming his foot into Nomu's stomach with such devastating force that the ground beneath them split even further. The impact created a deep fissure, chunks of rubble flying in all directions. The air rippled from the sheer energy of the attack. Nomu's body contorted under the pressure, its ribcage momentarily caving in from the impact. A normal opponent would have been obliterated on the spot—but Nomu was no ordinary enemy.
As Radahn leaped back, landing lightly on his feet, he narrowed his eyes. The gaping hole in Nomu's stomach was already beginning to close, the torn muscles stitching themselves back together in an instant. The creature sat up as if nothing had happened, its vacant, lifeless eyes staring forward without a hint of pain.
Radahn's expression remained unreadable, but internally, he analyzed the situation.
'It doesn't react to pain. It regenerates instantly. Is this thing even alive? No, something feels off. This isn't a quirk user—it's something unnatural.'
Nomu suddenly lunged, its massive fist hurtling toward Radahn with terrifying speed. The sheer force behind the attack sent a deafening boom through the air, shattering nearby debris before the punch even landed. Radahn barely tilted his head to the side, the fist grazing past his cheek, before he countered.
He twisted his body, grabbing Nomu's extended arm and, with a burst of gravity, swung the beast into the air before launching it straight into the mountains of rubble nearby. The impact sent dust and smoke billowing into the sky, and for a moment, there was silence.
Then, in an instant, Nomu burst from the rubble, unscathed. It rushed forward again, this time swiping with its elongated claws. Radahn ducked beneath the attack, pivoting on his foot before driving his knee into Nomu's chest. The beast barely flinched.
Radahn clicked his tongue. "So, you don't even feel force, huh?"
He suddenly leaped backward, extending his arm forward. A massive chunk of the battlefield trembled before lifting off the ground—an entire boulder the size of a small truck hovered mid-air, crackling with energy. With a flick of his fingers, he sent it hurtling toward Nomu at breakneck speed.
The boulder crashed into the creature with an earth-shaking impact, crushing it beneath its weight. The ground cracked, smoke filling the area. For a moment, everything was still.
Then, without warning, the boulder was sent flying backward as Nomu emerged once again, entirely unharmed.
From the side-lines, Shigaraki let out a laugh, his confidence returning. "You still don't get it, do you? You're just an NPC in my story. Nomu was made to kill All Might. He has infinite stamina and regeneration. You can't win."
Midoriya stood frozen, his breath caught in his throat as he watched the battle unfold before him. His eyes were wide, filled with a mixture of awe and sheer disbelief. Radahn—Hoshigami Enrai—was standing alone against the monstrosity known as Nomu, and despite the overwhelming odds, he wasn't just holding his ground—he was dominating the battlefield in a way that defied all logic.
The ground was in ruins, massive cracks spider-webbing across the concrete, and piles of rubble lay scattered from the sheer force of their clash. The air was thick with dust and debris, making it hard to see at times, but every time the dust settled, Radahn was still there, unmoving, standing tall like an immovable titan.
Nomu lunged again, its enormous frame moving at impossible speed, its clawed hands tearing through the air like scythes. Radahn didn't flinch. His golden eyes gleamed as he stepped forward, meeting the attack head-on.
Boom!
The impact sent shockwaves rippling through the battlefield as Radahn intercepted Nomu's attack with his bare hands, stopping it mid-motion. The force behind Nomu's strike was enough to shatter stone, but Radahn remained unshaken. His fingers dug into the monster's wrist, and with a twist of his arm, he threw Nomu over his shoulder like it weighed nothing.
Nomu crashed into the ground with an earth-shattering impact, the ground beneath it caving in. But before Midoriya could even process what had happened, Nomu was already back on its feet, its wounds regenerating instantly. The gaping hole in its chest from earlier had vanished without a trace, as if it had never been there in the first place.
Midoriya clenched his fists. 'It's just like what he said , infinite regeneration.'
'Is there really no limit to his regeneration?'
His heart pounded in his chest. He could barely keep up with the battle—Radahn wasn't just strong, he was beyond anything Midoriya had ever seen. His movements were precise, calculated, as if he had fought against creatures like Nomu before.
Boom!
Another deafening impact shook the battlefield. Radahn had just sent Nomu flying again, this time with a devastating kick to the chest that sent the creature skidding backward, its heels digging deep trenches into the ground. But just like before, Nomu stood up again, completely unharmed.
Midoriya's stomach twisted in anxiety.
'No matter how much damage Hoshigami-sensei does… it doesn't matter. It'll just heal.
Shigaraki's voice again rang through the battlefield, his confidence fully restored.
"You see now, right? This isn't just some strong villain. Nomu was designed to take on All Might himself. He was made to win. And you? You're just some random NPC who happened to get in the way."
Midoriya's breath hitched. He knew how strong All Might was—if this thing was created to fight him, then what did that mean for Radahn?
Midoriya eyes shot open at the scene as realization struck him,
'Wait a minute , Its Nomu who have endless stamina not Hoshigami-sensei, but Why does sensei doesn't look tired after such display of power?'
'With such heavy blows , even All Might would be tired , not only that from
This entire ordeal, Sensei hasn't even suffered a single injury.'
'If Nomu was made to defeat All Might , then they must have known All Might's current battle prowess but Hoshigami-sensei is one sided massacring the Nomu, It means—!'
'Hoshigami-sensei has already Surpassed All Might!'
Radahn just smiled. It wasn't a cocky smirk or an arrogant grin. It was the smile of a warrior who had just found an interesting challenge.
Midoriya felt a chill run down his spine. He had never seen someone so confident in the face of something this terrifying.
Radahn exhaled, his body radiating an aura of pure, overwhelming power. The ground beneath his feet trembled.
"Endless regeneration, huh?" His golden eyes flashed ominously. "Well then… I have just the thing to deal with that."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All Might stood outside U.A., the bright sky overhead doing little to ease the growing unease in his chest. The school grounds were peaceful, quiet even. He had just finished handling some minor work, expecting the day to be routine.
Then he saw him.
Iida Tenya—one of the brightest and most disciplined students of Class 1-A—was sprinting toward him at full speed, his engines roaring louder than ever. But what caught All Might's attention wasn't the sheer urgency of his movement. It was his face.
Wide, panic-stricken eyes. A face drained of colour. Breath coming out in ragged gasps. This wasn't the expression of a student running late or delivering an important message. This was pure, unfiltered terror.
"All Might—!" Iida barely got the words out before stopping abruptly, nearly stumbling over himself. He gasped for air, his entire body trembling.
All Might felt his stomach sink.
"What happened?" His voice was firm, but not harsh.
Iida swallowed hard, forcing himself to speak.
"Villains…! Villains at USJ—! They—they appeared out of nowhere!"
The world around All Might seemed to slow.
'Villains? At USJ?'
His chest tightened as Iida continued in a desperate, breathless ramble.
"They… they attacked us! There were so many! They have a monster—a huge monster with insane strength! It's too much—too strong! Mr. Aizawa and Hoshigami-sensei are fighting, but the students—we were scattered! We're separated all across the facility!"
The words hit All Might like a sledgehammer. His mind raced.
'USJ was supposed to be secure. How did villains get inside? How did they even know we would be there today?'
And then, another realization gripped him.
'The students! they're in danger.'
His Smile dropped.
All Might's teeth clenched. He had entrusted their safety to Aizawa and Thirteen, confident they could handle any normal situation. But this—this wasn't normal. This was a direct, calculated attack.
The sound of Iida's heavy breathing snapped him back to reality. The boy looked desperate, looking up at him as if he was the last hope.
"Please, sir! We need you there—now!"
All Might didn't need to hear another word.
His body tensed, muscles coiling like a spring. He felt the fire surge within him, his very soul screaming at him to move. He couldn't waste another second.
'Hold on, everyone!'
Without hesitation, he launched himself forward, the very ground beneath him cracking from the force. Wind roared past his ears as he soared through the sky, his mind filled with one singular thought:
'I'm coming!'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The battlefield was a ruin of destruction—cracked floors, shattered pillars, and the bloodied remains of fallen villains scattered across USJ's central plaza.
The air was thick with tension as Radahn stood tall, his golden eyes locked onto the monstrous being before him. The Nomu, despite the wounds it had taken earlier, remained unfazed, its grotesque form still regenerating without pause.
Amidst the chaos, Radahn reached into seemingly nothingness and pulled out a small, twisted blade. It was unlike any weapon present in this world—its crimson hue pulsated ominously, as if alive, a sliver of an ancient, cursed power contained within.
No one seemed to notice it yet.
The students were too busy struggling against the lesser villains, their adrenaline-filled minds occupied with survival. Aizawa was still engaged in his brutal close-quarters combat, his capture weapon striking down opponents one after another. The remaining villains who weren't unconscious or crushed beyond recognition were frozen in fear, unwilling to approach the golden-haired warrior who had just massacred their allies without effort.
But one person did notice.
Shigaraki.
His decayed lips curled upward, a twisted grin forming beneath his severed hand mask. His red, bloodshot eyes tracked the strange weapon with interest.
"Huh? What's that? I don't remember seeing him holding that before."
Radahn, however, paid no attention to him.
His fingers tightened around the blade's hilt, his mind briefly overtaken by a distant memory—a battlefield of another kind, a different world altogether. Screams echoed in his ears, the stench of burning flesh filled his nostrils. Blood, not crimson but black as the void, coated his armor. A familiar presence loomed in his mind—a force that even he, a demigod, had hesitated against.
Every demi-god feared this Rune.
'Destined Death'
This blade was imbued with the rune of destined death , even Queen Marika The Eternal had to betray Malekith to lock away destined death.
The words left his lips in a near whisper, lost amidst the surrounding chaos.
The Nomu suddenly lunged at him.
Radahn did nothing.
No evasive manoeuvre. No counterattack.
He simply stood his ground, his expression unreadable. The blade in his grip barely twitched.
Shigaraki's grin widened. "Hah! Did you finally lose your mind? That's right, stay still! NOMU, TEAR APAR—!'
A single slash.
It was barely visible but tint of crimson-black hue was left in its place. A mere flick of Radahn's wrist, effortless, almost casual.
For a second, nothing seemed to happen.
Then, Nomu halted mid-charge.
Shigaraki blinked.
Nomu didn't move.
The monstrosity simply stood in place, unmoving, its grotesque body rigid. The gaping hole in its torso—where Radahn had kicked earlier—remained, but this time, something was different. The flesh wasn't regenerating. The exposed muscles weren't repairing themselves.
Shigaraki's expression contorted in confusion.
"What? What's it doing? Nomu?"
No response.
The creature trembled slightly, its muscles twitching, but no further action came. Then, with a sickening lurch, its legs gave out. The Nomu fell to its knees, then forward onto the cracked concrete, face-first.
A heavy silence overtook the battlefield.
The villains, previously laughing and taunting, now stood frozen. Even Aizawa, who had been busy subduing another opponent, briefly turned his head, his eyes narrowing at the sight of the fallen Nomu.
Shigaraki's breath hitched. His fingers twitched erratically.
"W-what the hell? Get up, Nomu. GET UP!"
No movement.
No twitch.
No regeneration.
Shigaraki's hands clawed at his own throat, frustration and disbelief surging within him. "That's impossible! You were designed to withstand All Might! You have infinite regeneration! You—!"
Radahn exhaled, his fingers brushing against the crimson blade. He barely spared Shigaraki a glance as he muttered under his breath.
The blade flickered for a brief moment before vanishing from Radahn's grasp, retreating to where it truly belonged, as if it had never existed.
"You miscalculated."
Shigaraki gritted his teeth, pure rage flaring in his eyes.
Then—
A powerful shockwave erupted across the battlefield, accompanied by a voice so loud, so commanding, that it overpowered everything else.
"I AM HERE!"
All Might had arrived.
