章 68: Chapter 67: Million Volts and Plus Ultra

"Kaminari!!"

Midoriya shouted, watching helplessly from a distance as Shigaraki lunged at Kaminari. A deep sense of frustration surged within him, knowing he couldn't protect his friends the way All Might could if he had full control over One For All.

"Boom!"

Shigaraki shattered the ice barriers Todoroki had created, breaking through with a single strike as his hand reached for Kaminari's face, a deadly glint in his eyes.

"I don't care anymore!"

At this critical moment of life and death, Kaminari could no longer think about Todoroki or anyone beside him. In order to protect himself, he discharged electricity from his entire body without hesitation, trying to force Shigaraki back.

With no time to lose, Kaminari activated his full discharge. "100,000 volts!" Lightning crackled and surged around him, surrounding his body with an intense electric field. He hoped it would be enough to force Shigaraki back.

For a moment, Shigaraki's advance slowed, his hand meeting the electric barrier Kaminari had created. But Kaminari's relief was short-lived; Shigaraki's hand continued to press forward, unaffected by the electricity.

The gloves! Kaminari realized. Those gloves were insulated against electricity. This wasn't just a random attack; they had planned for situations like this. Desperation kicked in as he struggled to think of a way to escape.

Just then, he managed to activate his High-speed movement, darting backward and grabbing Todoroki in the process. He pulled him out of harm's way, stumbling slightly as they landed back near Midoriya.

"Help me get him back on his feet," Kaminari said to Midoriya, pushing Todoroki toward him. He turned back to Shigaraki, still panting from the exertion.

Shigaraki tilted his head, watching them curiously. "What was that? Some kind of speed quirk? Or do you have more than one ability?"

Kaminari just sneered, trying to hide his exhaustion. "Wouldn't you like to know? Maybe if you'd actually read a book or two, you'd realize how out of your depth you are."

"Enough!!" Shigaraki's voice was laced with fury, his fingers twitching with deadly intent. He looked to Kaminari with an unsettling grin. "Now that your ice friend is out of the way, let's see how well you do alone!"

Shigaraki lunged again, and Kaminari acted fast. Reaching into his pocket, he grabbed the small pouch Momo had crafted for him earlier, containing fifty steel balls. He tossed them into the air, charging each with electricity, creating a shimmering barrier around them both.

"If you want me, you'll have to go through this first!" Kaminari taunted, lightning dancing around him as he activated his ability. "Chain Lightning — 500,000 volts!"

Electricity arced between each steel ball, forming a web of golden light that surrounded Shigaraki, trapping him in the center. As long as Kaminari kept supplying electricity, the barrier would hold, creating a cage of lightning. A slight smirk crossed his face. Let's see you dodge this.

"What—?!" Shigaraki hesitated, eyeing the electrified field in front of him. He'd never encountered anything like this before.

But Kaminari wasn't finished. Taking advantage of Shigaraki's pause, he rushed in, his body still charged with electricity. He leapt high above Shigaraki, lightning crackling around him, and extended his arms wide. His voice echoed with confidence and a calm fury.

"Feel the pain. Experience it. Accept it. Understand it. Those who don't know pain they will never understand true peace." He paused, looking down at Shigaraki with a fierce gaze. "One million volts!!"

With a roar, Kaminari unleashed the full extent of his power, a surge of blinding electricity crashing down like a thunderstorm. The entire battlefield lit up with a golden glow, bathing the surroundings in searing light and crackling energy. The air grew thick with the smell of ozone, the ground beneath them scorched by the intensity of the discharge.

Even Midoriya, several meters away, had to shield his eyes from the overwhelming brightness. He could feel the heat through his closed eyelids, hear the thunderous roar that filled the air. Across the battlefield, Momo, Kyoka, and the others looked on in awe at the electrified whirlwind Kaminari had created.

"That's… Kaminari?!" Momo gasped, her eyes wide with shock.

Not far from there, All Might was nearing the end of his battle with Nomu, his time limit pushing dangerously close. His muscles trembled with exhaustion, yet he stood tall, still determined to protect his students.

"Villain, do you know what it means to be a hero?" All Might's voice boomed with righteous anger, his face set in grim determination. "It means you go beyond… you push yourself further than anyone else."

He took a deep breath, focusing all his remaining power into his right fist. This would be his last chance.

"Plus… Ultra!"

With one final, devastating punch, All Might's fist connected with Nomu's chest, sending shockwaves that echoed throughout the building. The sheer force was unimaginable, causing flames and debris to erupt upon impact. Nomu was launched upward, breaking through the ceiling of USJ and vanishing into the sky.

All Might stumbled, his vision blurring. He could feel his body reaching its limit, steam beginning to rise from his skin. "In my prime, I'd only need five punches for that… but today…" He muttered to himself, grimacing. "Today, I lost count."

The shockwave of his final attack rippled through the USJ facility, shaking the other zones where the students were scattered. Tokoyami and Koda looked up, staring in disbelief as a hole was blasted through the ceiling.

In the fire zone, Ojiro braced himself as heat and dust washed over him, his tail lashing in reflex. "Was… was that All Might?!"

At the entrance, Mineta was sobbing uncontrollably, overwhelmed by both fear and relief. "He's… he's really here! All Might's really here! We're saved!"

Tetsutetsu, who was pinning Kurogiri down with Kirishima, looked up at the ceiling in awe. "The force of that punch… it broke straight through Kurogiri's defenses."

Kirishima, catching his breath, looked on with admiration. "This is what it means to be unbreakable! That's what I want to be, too… someone who can stand strong like All Might!"

Even Bakugo, standing in stunned silence, felt a shift within himself. As much as he despised feeling weak, watching All Might fight reminded him of why he wanted to become a hero. "This is the world of real heroes…"

Amid the dust and debris, All Might took a few unsteady steps back, his vision blurring. He was nearly at his limit. But as he glanced around, he could see that the students were safe. His mission was accomplished.

"All Might!"

Hearing Midoriya's voice, All Might turned to see the boy approaching, supporting Todoroki on his shoulder. Behind them, Kaminari stood, breathing heavily, golden sparks still flickering around him from his massive discharge.

"What… happened to you?" Midoriya asked Kaminari, his voice filled with awe.

Kaminari just smirked, swaying slightly as he tried to catch his breath. "I went… Plus Ultra."

章 69: Chapter 68: Sewage and Midnight

Just as Midoriya was hesitating over what to do next, he noticed something unsettling, villains who had been taken down by Aizawa-sensei earlier were now staggering back to their feet. Most of them seemed like brute types, with tough bodies that could withstand a beating.

These thugs, oblivious to the carnage around them, turned their bloodthirsty eyes toward Kaminari, Bakugo, and the rest of Class A. They let out wild cries and charged forward once more, undeterred by their earlier defeat.

What did Shigaraki and the League of Villains promise these guys to make them so… fanatically loyal? Midoriya wondered. He couldn't wrap his head around it. It was as though they'd been given something they were willing to die for.

The truth was, no one on the hero side knew. They couldn't possibly understand. Only those who were in the League understood what the "boss" had offered them.

"Purpose."

For those with Quirks who had been abandoned by society, those who felt invisible and discarded, the League provided a sense of purpose. For those who were born Quirkless, like Midoriya had once been, or who were frustrated with their seemingly weak Quirks, they offered an opportunity, a chance to gain power, a chance to evolve.

"Purpose" and "opportunity"—two words that were powerful motivators, especially when wielded by someone who had ruled the underworld for decades. They were more than enough to inspire fierce loyalty among the downtrodden, combined with the allure of his own powerful Quirk.

What should I do… what should I do?! Midoriya's mind raced as he glanced between All Might, who stood in the distance enveloped in faint wisps of steam, and Kaminari, who was still dazed from his short-circuited high-voltage attack.

Just then, Todoroki freed himself from Midoriya's support and gave Kaminari a complicated look, though his expression remained as stoic as ever.

"Good, then Kaminari's all yours," Midoriya said with relief, then sprinted toward All Might. Behind the towering ice wall, Bakugo and Kirishima held the line, with Tetsutetsu pinning down Kurogiri.

Suddenly, the loud crack of a gunshot rang out, drawing everyone's attention. More shots followed, each bullet finding its mark in the legs or arms of the villain minions, halting their advance.

"Finally… they're here!" All Might's tense expression softened in relief.

"I'm sorry we're late, everyone!!" came the voice of the Principal, perched atop Vlad's shoulder, with a group of other hero teachers fanning out behind him. "I called everyone who could respond immediately."

"Iida!" Uraraka's eyes widened with joy as she spotted her class rep standing at the edge of the group.

"Iida Tenya of Class 1-A, reporting for duty!" Iida's voice boomed, his enthusiasm clear as he saluted the Principal. His voice echoed across USJ, commanding everyone's attention and earning admiration from his classmates.

The booming announcement seemed to jolt Kaminari out of his short-circuited state. He blinked, quickly looking around and taking in the bewildered expressions of his classmates—especially Todoroki, who was watching him with an unreadable gaze.

Realizing what had happened, Kaminari felt his face heat up with embarrassment. He muttered to himself as he approached Todoroki. Then, leaning in close, he whispered in Todoroki's ear with a slight grin.

"If you breathe a word of this to anyone, I'll fry you."

Todoroki raised an eyebrow, unfazed, and stepped back. "Midoriya saw it too," he replied in his usual deadpan tone.

Kaminari's eye twitched. "Same goes for him! If either of you blabs, you're in for 'daily electrotherapy.'"

"Immature," Todoroki muttered, looking away as if Kaminari's threat wasn't even worth acknowledging.

With a sigh of resignation, Kaminari turned around, only to be met by another strange sight. A dark, foul-smelling sludge appeared out of thin air around Shigaraki and Kurogiri. The stench was so overpowering that Tetsutetsu, who had been holding Kurogiri down, instinctively let go and staggered back, covering his nose in disgust.

"What the…?"

Before anyone could react, the sludge fully enveloped Shigaraki, then vanished with a wet plop, leaving nothing but a lingering foul odor and damp stains on the ground. The same thing happened to Kurogiri on the other side of the ice wall, as he disappeared right in front of Cementoss, Bakugo, and the others.

"Well, that's just great," Kaminari muttered, scratching his head. "Seems like every villain these days has some kind of teleportation Quirk."

At that moment, a voice addressed him from nearby. "Did you cause all of this?"

Kaminari turned to see the sultry, whip-wielding hero Midnight watching him with an intense gaze. Her eyes were fixed on the scorched ground where Kaminari had unleashed his million-volt attack, a patch of earth that now lay blackened and lifeless.

"Uh… yeah, that was me," Kaminari replied, somewhat sheepishly. He glanced at the charred area, still littered with the remnants of his steel ball arsenal.

Midnight's gaze lingered on the destruction for a moment before her lips curved into a smirk. "Kaminari… you're stronger than I expected."

Kaminari shrugged, his usual bravado returning. "Well, I try."

Midnight's expression shifted, her tone turning serious. "But remember, strength is only valuable if it's used responsibly. Power like yours… if it's misused, it can lead to serious consequences."

"Understood." Kaminari nodded, appreciating her words of caution.

But then, to his surprise, Midnight's expression softened into a sly smile. "By the way… what's your phone number?"

"...Huh?"
