章 149: Chapter 145: Offer
BAMMMMMM!!
An explosion occurred that marked the end of the night's biggest and most important battle.
Uncertain whether intentionally or unintentionally, A.F.O crashed into a massive igneous rock a few meters from Teka. No dust cloud appeared as it hit the pure igneous rock.
Blake continued to hold A.F.O. by the neck, who was lying on the wall, giving up. He placed one leg on his chest so that he could not move. Lightning came out from various parts of his body and engulfed his arms, legs, and waist. If he tried to teleport again, they could even rip his body off, except to pull him from where he teleported.
''YEAHHHH!!
"HAHAHAHAHA!!"
"WE ARE SAVED!"
People watching the war on television revolted when Blake caught A.F.O. They started cheering for Blake, forgetting about the scary moves he had done all this time and their fears for him.
No one could blame them. A.F.O was terror in the eyes of the people of Japan and the world. It was the cause of the pain and blood pools that appeared on this happy day. It would be fair to say that it was the source of his troubles all this time.
They were delighted to see such a person fall for the second time.
"Run!!!"
Unlike them, the villain was in a panic. They started to run and hide, throwing away whatever they were doing.
In the eyes of humanity, All Might was the symbol of justice and peace, the idol of every student and hero, and for them the brightest sun. Similarly, A.F.O was just as important to villains. Regardless of their mindset, A.F.O was the idol of all villains and they almost adored him.
It was a blow to their morale to watch the man their idols thought was invincible once again defeated, and while doing so, he was so helpless that he could only escape.
Knowing that they couldn't fight their current morale, the villain started to run away, putting their actions aside.
''HAHAHAHAHAHA'''
''CATCH!!''
The cops and heroes chasing after them were screaming wildly as they ran through alleys, rooftops, or streets. Blake's extraordinary battle had made their blood boil. Even in this world of Quirks, his battle seemed like magic.
His brave and heroic figure lit a fire in their hearts, and his shocking power gave them hope.
If Blake didn't do something to scare them and upset the situation, his name could be cleared and he could be loved by all the Japanese people, forgetting everything he had done before.
Blake, who didn't care what the world thought, was thinking about how to kill this man he's holding his throat right now.
He was thinking because killing A.F.O wasn't that simple. Even if he killed Nomu hundreds of times, who aid the development of the main characters, it was reborn. He was sure Lilith would intervene if he tried to kill A.F.O, one of the main bosses of the MHA world.
Lilith really didn't care what happened to the MHA world. Blake was aware of this. Presumably, instead of trying to stop the war, he's waging right now, she was watching them from her villa in the Golden World with snacks and drinks in hand.
But he was sure that if he did something to interfere with the main characters or their development, she would interfere with the situation
So he had to find another way to kill him. He had to find another method, a method that Lilith could not interfere with.
"Use it." In Blake's thoughts, he heard the voice of the beautiful woman he had been talking to lately in his ears.
Blake's eyes widened slightly. True, he could use it. He didn't know exactly what it was doing, but since it was that woman's spear, he could challenge Lilith's authority.
"Are you going to kill me?" A.F.O asked in a light tone as Blake struggled with thoughts, pinned to the ground by his leg and hand. He wasn't begging for his life, he was asking a simple question.
Although A.F.O experienced the fear of death many times during his battles, it was more of a reflexive move than an indirect one. Blake's killing intent and surprising killing moves triggered a deep-seated fear of death in his heart.
But he was very indifferent to death. The moment he decided to become a villain, he forgot his fear of death. But in his battle with Blake, this fear resurfaced time and again.
"Of course, I will kill you. There's before, but the moment you hurt Rumi, your death is decided." Blake's voice cut A.F.O's ears like a knife. A.F.O just stood there for a while, suddenly smiling awkwardly.
"So the reason you want to kill me is that simple. You're very selfish, Blake. A lot.''
Following his words, A.F.O tilted his head back. He turned his head to the sky with a blank smile, as if he was watching the sky. His hands fell to his sides, the dust lifted into the air.
"Do whatever you want." His tone seemed to give up, as did his gestures. Similar words had been spoken by Teka just a few minutes ago.
However, while the first of these words harbored a sense of salvation, warmth, and trust, the other contained a feeling of renunciation, despair, and death. Both had Blake at their center. It was very surprising that they were completely different from each other.
"I will." Blake threw back his hand, spread five fingers, and opened it as if he wanted to grasp something.
''Come.''
At Blake's command, the air rippled behind him. The air in his palm began to spread sideways and was replaced by something else.
This thing was a spear with a scarlet water-like color. The handle of the 2-meter-long spear was adorned with long, thin red threads. On the back was a sharp blade, and on the front was the spearhead, which claimed to be able to cut anything, glowing with the sharpest light in the universe.
This is Scathach's spear godslayer Gae Bolg.
The atmosphere changed as soon as Gae Bolg appeared. As the God Slayer spear began to breathe once again, the people of Japan who watched them on TV came under suffocating pressure. The color of the air changed and took on a blood-red color.
Blake's gaze turned serious, grasping Gae Bolg, then turning it in his hand. He aligned the tip to face A.F.O's heart and stabbed it without thinking of anything else.
''Stop!!''
Blake heard a voice that only he could hear. Red threads appeared in his knuckles, throat, and most of his limbs. Blake could sense a mysterious force from the threads that he couldn't resist. It was as if fate itself was interfering with him.
Lilith finally took action.
Brrmm!!
Gae Bolg trembled slightly as if he didn't like someone's interference with his new master's intentions. The scarlet threads that hindered Blake's movements broke apart and began to scatter through the air. Like thousands of red drops, they fell to the ground after being thrown left and right.
As soon as Blake regained his mobility, he continued to swing the spear.
SPLASH!
''Ughhh!!''
The spear pierced through A.F.O's chest and, after smashing his heart, came out of his back and plunged into the ground. Without stopping for a moment in its movement, it cut through the bones, flesh, and igneous rock like a piece of water and sank into the ground.
A small moan escaped A.F.O's lips. As his heart crashed, he felt a small tingling at the tip of his limbs. He couldn't control the blood that pooled in his mouth and started vomiting blood.
"That feeling again…" Contrary to his situation, A.F.O was not struggling or doing anything to show his pain. On the contrary, he was thinking of something different as he looked up at the sky.
When the spear entered his heart, he was again filled with a strange feeling. He couldn't put the feeling into words, but if he had to say anything to describe the feeling, he would have said "Real death".
Yes, those words somewhat described his current feelings. He felt like was dying. The ties that bound him to this world were being broken by the smooth spear with the color of scarlet water.
His body was growing cold, and sleepy, and his organs were collapsing with each passing second. The organs deprived of blood and oxygen flow were collapsing one by one, and the brain was losing its function. His lungs were on their last legs, living their last moments as they struggled desperately to breathe.
He felt like he was carrying a huge mountain in his mind. Darkness was taking over his mind. He wanted to sleep, but something was preventing him from doing so. He wasn't sure exactly what it was, but it seemed impossible for him to sleep at the moment.
Blake continued to listen to the flustered voice in his ears as he watched A.F.O die moment by moment.
The sound echoed in his ears since the red threads were useless. She was yelling at him to stop, why he couldn't do this, how it would hurt the world, how a reincarnator couldn't do that.
Blake could sense the panic in the woman's voice. She acted as if she was going to die. Or as if A.F.O's death would be permanent.
Blake didn't care. A sadistic smile bloomed on his face as he heard the flutter of the voice. He liked the way the owner of the voice struggled and desperately tried to stop him, but that didn't mean he would stop. He wanted this person to suffer more after what he had done to her and Teka.
His next words, however, caused him to completely change his mind.
"If you let him go, I'll help you and the girls get out of this world, and I'll help you go to other worlds."
The words made his clenched hand loosen. He began to think as he continued to stare at A.F.O.
After Scathach's words about "Loop", he had intended to leave this world. He wasn't going to let the girls' memory be wiped, and someone else instead of him, flirting with any of them, even the possibility of pairing with them. Blake was not such a wide man.
That's why he decided to take the girls and leave this world. However, there was a big obstacle in front of this.
Blake didn't know how to get girls out of this world. He knew that removing them as part of this world would be a great blow to the world. As reckless as she was, no way Lilith letting it happen.
Especially getting one of the main characters, Momo, out of this world had an extra challenge. Despite this, Blake did not give up and began to think of a way to get them out of this world.
However, finding a solution to this was not easy. He knew very little about the Golden World. Everything was possible. If he took them out of here without Lilith's permission, their souls might be harmed, their existence would be wiped out the moment he took them out because they were connected to the world. He didn't want to hurt the girls by blindly removing them from the world.
Lilith's approval would benefit him greatly. However, it was unclear whether she was serious in her words.
''Don't worry. I heard her words, there was no chance of going back now." Blake heard Scathach's authoritative words in his thoughts. He unconsciously smiled. With that, his only worry was gone.
He grabbed Gae Bolg and pulled back in an instant. The blood bloomed like red flowers in the sky. The tip of the scarlet water-colored Gae Bolg looked even prettier than it did, bringing drops of blood behind it.
With the release of Gae Bolg, the weird feeling of A.F.O had disappeared. But death did not disappear. With Blake's cold eyes, his search Quirks ceased to function, his emotions faded, and his face discolored.
In just a few seconds, the A.F.O., who terrorized the world, passed away.
Blake rested the spear on his shoulder, turned, and walked toward Teka. He didn't take a second glance at the deceased A.F.O.
Blake stepped closer to Teka. He was walking among the bloody corpses and pools of blood on the floor with an unsuitable warm smile on his face. His shadow was reflected on the floor behind him and spread around. The way he hid the bloody image behind his back and walked toward the woman with a warm expression formed an image of his personality.
Tıp! Tıp!
As he approached Teka step by step, red drops of blood were dripping from the tip of his spear to the ground. With the end of the battle, the city was once again enveloped in silence. The dark clouds on earth had dissipated during their war and returned to their place in the sky. But the hole in the sky was still there, illuminating only Blake and the surrounding few hundred meters with star and moonlight.
Blake came in front of the woman. His warm gaze fell on her. He took the hand that was holding the spear to the side. He opened his hand. The scarlet water-like spear vanished into the air as he let it go.
He bowed with a slight but attentive smile. Teka had not recovered but was much better than before. Her skin was bright red like a hot iron, and her hair was bright red. Her breathing wasn't under pressure as before, it was back to normal.
She had sunk into the tree he was leaning against, and the area she was leaning on had turned black. Even the stone floor she was sitting on had turned muddy, but like the previous time, she didn't melt the ground where she touched it until it turned into steam.
"She should have destroyed them." That was Blake's thought. With the strength, she showed, even if she fought A.F.O, she should not have been defeated. It should have been difficult to beat a few villains with Teka's power and fight or even defeat A.F.O on an equal footing.
Could human skin be harder than stone? Even a simple step of Teka's was hot enough to turn the stone into steam, what villain in this world could resist it?
But there were three major factors in her defeat.
The first of these was Teka's desire not to kill people. She didn't know why, but Teka, as cold to her enemies as he was, hadn't killed the villain. The villain, fearing A.F.O as much as death itself, would keep on attacking no matter how much they suffered.
Knocking them out was useless. The pain the villains feel was enough to wake them from their faintness. As soon as they awoke from their faint, they would continue to fight.
The second was the ice rays. The ice rays were the enemy of Teka's Quirk and caused her great harm by petrifying her body. Moreover, every stone that fell from her body was giving her great pain.
And the only temperatures that could petrify her near-nuclear body temperature were temperatures close to absolute zero. It would be fair to say that such an ice ray is her natural enemy.
Finally, her body temperature.
Blake knew that Teka had heat and fire resistance. If it wasn't, her body should have turned to ashes with the power she unleashed in battle, but she stood firm before him. This showed how strong the heat and fire resistance was.
However, no matter how much heat she resisted, her constant standing at a certain temperature had turned the inside of her body into a high-temperature furnace, and her organs were cooking every second.
Do not underestimate this, the human body could withstand a minimum temperature of 65 °C for a limited time, and a maximum temperature of 177 °C for 1 minute. Teka's body, on the other hand, had exceeded this temperature long ago.
When these three factors combined, Teka's defeat was decided. However, this was only for one time. After her experiences today, Blake would make sure to train her and change her mindset.
And after this change, Teka would turn into a real demon for his enemies.
She would become a real Lava Demon of Earth and Sky for enemies.
Blake leaned forward and reached for the woman. He placed one of his arms under her plump hips. He placed the other on her waist.
Tsssss!!
As soon as his skin came into contact with the hot lava, it began to burn and turn to ash. Even the blood that tried to come out as his skin turned to ash evaporated before it had a chance to come into contact with the air.
But Blake ignored it. His face didn't even twitch, he carefully lifted her and pressed her against his chest while maintaining his warm smile.
TSSSSSS!!
The more areas of his body came into contact with the woman, the more skin and flesh burned. It was engulfed in flames for a moment, covering his upper body, then turning to ash.
Blake rested her chin on his shoulder and ran a hand through her lava hair, rubbing her skull. Teka seemed to notice this, her languid expression turning into a melting one, and she continued her sleep with a small smile. The lava forming her hair was gripping Blake's hand more and more. It was obvious how much she liked the move and how much she didn't want it to end
Bzt!
A small lightning charge came out of Blake's body. His burned skin was instantly regenerated, his muscles regenerated, and his lost blood was replenished with every beat of his heart. Even his hair, which was burning and covered with black spots, grew back.
Blake took the woman in his arms and turned his head left and right. After looking for a while, he passed the tree where Teka was leaning and started walking among the trees.
**
"I get off lightly." Inside her villa in the Golden World, Lilith lowered her head and sighed in relief as she watched the huge television in the living room from her sofa bed.
"PUHA!!" The sudden relief made her lose the strength in her arms and she threw herself on the bed. She lifted her head slightly and looked at Blake, who was reflected on the wall-mounted TV.
For a moment she thought she was going to lose A.F.O. With Blake's persona, he would have killed A.F.O if she hadn't intervened, and she would have lost him forever because of the way he did it.
She didn't really care if A.F.O died. Well, to tell the truth, she cared. A.F.O played a big role in Tomura's development and considering Tomura's role in MHA's main story in the future, A.F.O's premature death would cause major changes in the main story.
Lilith's pink pupils glowed dimly. She would like to see it. However, major changes in the main story could lead to the deaths of the main characters, and she did not want her beloved main characters to die.
They were like her children, she didn't want to see any of them die. Apart from the maternal instinct she developed towards them, she didn't want to see them die because she was the biggest fan of each of them.
Still, she shouldn't have panicked so much. It was a normal thing in loops for A.F.O or All Might to die. It was quite normal in every world for key roles to be killed by reincarnators.
They could not control reincarnators. Except for some complicated and deep reasons for this, the fate of these people who were not born in their world was very different. It was impossible to predict what they would do, and their futures were constantly changing, with their thoughts constantly changing. They had no power to interfere with such a fate.
And Lilith had no intention of controlling Blake. There was no problem killing A.F.O. She could intervene in the changes, protect the main characters and ensure that they do not die.
However, when the red spear, Gae Bolg, was involved, the situation completely changed.
The god killer spear, the crucial weapon that never misses its target, could cut through anything in the universe. And most importantly, this spear that could accompany Scathach could interfere with cause and effect.
Other than that, it was Scathach's weapon. Every living thing slain by it was sent to the lands of the Shadowland Queen Scathach and left at her mercy.
If Lilith had allowed Blake to continue, with A.F.O's death, his soul would have been severed from the world and sent to the Shadow Realm.
This was not as simple as it was written. A.F.O's existence would be completely cut off from the MHA world. There would be no more A.F.O. in the subsequent loop, nothing born of his actions.
In the next cycle and after that, the world of MHA would change completely and would not be the same as before.
As the representative of the universe, she should be able to recreate the characters. As it was said before, the entire world was her playground, and every being was under her control, except those who were not reincarnators.
She could destroy him, recreate him, change his existence.
However, it was not such a simple thing. If she wanted to integrate something new into her world, she had to expend a great deal of strength.
The Universe Representatives were very powerful beings. If we're talking about Lilith's full strength, she was strong enough to fight Scathach.
But most of that power was going to keep their universe stable. Keeping a universe stable in the Golden World was no simple matter. Incredible amounts of power were required, which is why every Universe Representative on this side of the "Border" had a world. 90% of their power was used to keep their universe stable.
Other than keeping it stable, 10% was going to create new characters, deepen their stories, and increase the strength of the characters.
This is the reason why some anime in the world have bad or average quality in season one and have good quality in season 2. Or vice versa. The quality that the representatives of the universe reflected on the screens in the world was determined by the amount of power they transferred.
Even a piece of stone added to the world would take 0.1% of their strength.
If A.F.O's soul were plucked from this world, she would have to use all the power she had accumulated so far to make a new one.
The Universe Representative could also become stronger. But unlike Blake and the other reincarnators, their goal of empowerment is to enlarge their world, deepen the main story...
And it was to cross behind the "Border".
However, that didn't mean they were weak. As can be seen in "Sword Sister", they could evolve to a level that even a speedster could not react by getting stronger. However, for this, they had to relinquish special development paths that would allow them to evolve their world.
Because Lilith didn't want to do this, she had increased her strength in a special way all her life. But even that wasn't enough to fill the void that would be left with A.F.O's disappearance.
It wasn't enough, especially at this time when she was trying to renew the space-time barrier around the world because of Gae Bolg.
That's why she suggested such a thing to Blake.
She didn't know that Blake wanted to leave the world, the reason behind her suggestion was that she know all reincarnators wanted to explore the "Multi-verse.'' With Blake's personality, she would do it with the girls.
It would be fair to say that she made a lucky guess.
Leaving the girls out of the world was a problem, but if she was in control of it, she could get out with minimal damage. If Blake, whom Scathach had her eye on, did this, she would take a huge amount of damage, there was nothing she could do to stop it as the other side was Scathach.
So her suggestion was a kind of self-rescue method.
Moreover...
"I'm going to see a lot of new things." The corner of Lilith's lip curls up as she lies on the bed. There was great enthusiasm in his exhausted expression. She couldn't wait to see what would happen in the future.
