บท 115: The Two Remaining Sparks

With Shen obliterating all of the heroes publicly and so openly things went smoothly just as he planned. Unlike the Bleach Universe which kept its supernatural and normal people separate, heroes were the main protective force of this world and its cities. Now that they were all effectively dead, the heroes left behind didn't have the guts to step out.

So U.A, the police force, and other hero-based academies around the world did what they could to minimize the damage, and that included surrender. "Really, you're not even going to try and resist?"

At first, he didn't know the limits of using the system's ability to create vortexes to other universes.

However, after realizing he could make them large enough Shen brought his fortress to the MHA universe. It was convenient and it didn't take long for Shen to get every single representative who held power. "Yes…" Bowing their heads they all nodded while gritting their teeth. "We only ask that you do not hurt the innocent. I promise you we will make sure no one tries to go against you."

Sitting on their knees in front of Shen as he looked down at them from his throne they waited for a response. "Well that's very kind of you, however, it's not necessary." Shen had been speaking as if he was bored to the point he had yawned while they spoke to him. "What… What do you mean?" Feeling anxious, he stuttered over his words while trying to get an explanation.

Looking down at him Shen responded. "I mean I don't care if you're giving me your support or not since I'm not going to be the one dealing with all of you." Looking at one another trying to understand what Shen was saying, they heard someone open the doors leading into the room.

Recognizing the young man's clothing, the officials knew he must be serving under Shen. "I said this already, but this conquering thing is new to me and honestly I don't like dealing with politics. So instead I make one of my servants run things as my representative." Listening to Shen, they turned their eyes to Midoriya understanding what Shen meant.

"S- So… This boy will be in charge in your stead?" Trying not to seem rude the official asked slowly. Seeing this, Shen chuckled before standing up. "Oh don't act so excited. Despite how he looks he is more than enough to take care of any heroes or villains remaining in this world." Midoriya smiled at them innocently while Shen spoke, creating a strange contrast to Shen's words.

"Of course if you have a problem with that w-" Immediately everyone shook their heads. "No! There are no issues as long as the citizens are safe we will follow your orders." Seeing that Shen felt he had given them enough of a scare. Turning to Midoriya he whispered in his ear. "I have two more things to do here before I set off so try to get everything organized by then."

Midoriya was nervous but he nodded his head before speaking. "I won't let you down." With that Shen left the rest to Midoriya and the others. 'Finally, I can get to the important stuff.' Walking to his room, Shen laid down on his bed before checking all of his system notifications. 'I was right…'

There were thousands of people there between heroes and villains, and the fact that they had quirks let him bypass the system's rule of only gaining XP from things stronger than normal humans. Scrolling up and down the list of notifications Shen did some of the math in his head. He had gained millions, literally millions of XP from killing all of those heroes and villains.

Not wanting to wait any longer Shen opened his stats menu in the system.

-Stats-

Name: Shen

Race Bonuses: Human, Saiyan, [Fire]Dragon Slayer

Level: 81

SP: 18115

Strength: 411

Agility: 467

Endurance: 421

Power: 506

"I guess it's true what they say. Quantity over quality." Despite Yamamoto being his biggest XP gain in one try, this trip to MHA was almost as fruitful for a lot less effort despite how it looked. Not only that Shen had finally seen how many SP points he had just sitting in his stock. 'I had been saving these for when I wanted to buy something really powerful.'

Despite his spending with the Rinnegan and other abilities, he hadn't really made a dip in his SP reserves. "Alright then!" He was going to a new universe soon and this time he probably wouldn't have it easy. In the end that meant it was time for him to make preparations and that included buying the most broken abilities, he could find.

'Since I'm level 81 and I still don't even have access to Super Saiyan I can guess I'll unlock it around level 100. That would also mean I would only be able to afford abilities below the level of Super Saiyan.' Keeping all that in mind Shen scoured his memories for anything that he might actually want.

"Oh right." Suddenly Shen remembered something. "System I still have that video game category thing right?" Speaking to the System Shen had almost forgotten about this since he couldn't decide at first. "Hey System I was wondering... If I chose transformations for the video game's category how much would Creative Mode cost in SP?"

Shen thought it was a long shot, but hey who wouldn't want to go game mode in case of an emergency. It was after a couple of seconds that the System gave him an answer in the form of a prompt. [The Host would be over 650,000 SP short.] Hearing that Shen almost choked at the absurdly high number.

"Huh…" Shen wondered just how long it would take to get an insane number like 650,000. Even adding up all the SP he has collected so far probably wouldn't add up to a number over 100k. But still, he was fine with it. It simply told him he was nowhere near done. There were definitely more versions of the System he could unlock and levels he could reach.

"Slow and steady wins the race." Speaking to himself Shen opened the System's shop and his eyes began to glow with anticipation. Inside his room, Shen spent the following days simply using the System. Every couple of minutes his SP would go down sometimes by the hundreds or by the thousands.

But one evident thing was that with each change in the SP value Shen was getting stronger, Of course, that wasn't the only thing changing. Everyone had to get used to a sudden change in the world. Everyone in the world of MHA was all under one rule now, and they had to get used to it.

As the officials said, they tried to stop the rare brave heroes and citizens alike from rallying against Shen, but ultimately some managed to slip by. "Disappear you bastard!" A young boy shouted at one of Shen's Void Warrior's as it walked the streets of the city. Over the day's many people had tried to fight these creatures but it never worked out.

No matter the quirk or the method they would either regenerate or kill the person who planned to attack them before they could. It made it difficult for anyone to mount a resistance. However, the boy who shouted at the Void Warrior's was wearing a strange outfit. If Shen or Midoriya were here they would recognize him immediately but more importantly, they would be surprised.

The ground shook violently as a ball of fire exploded from behind the boy. Before any of the citizens nearby could properly gauge what was happening the Void Warrior was being attacked. Appearing above the warrior before it could recognize it was under threat, orange electricity seemed to run up and down Bakugo's body.

Looking down at the Void Warrior Bakugo aimed his arm at his target before the area was enveloped in a white flash. The fire expanded in every direction creating a sphere of destruction below Bakugo. Completely enveloping the Void Warrior he wasn't given a chance to regenerate or attack before being completely disintegrated.

"What… Did he just…" A mother who was out with her child had her hands on her mouth as she looked at the crater where the void warrior once stood. Ignoring the damage to the surrounding buildings, street, and sidewalk there was no trace of it left. "That boy actually managed to destroy one of those things?"

It was unbelievable and the reason why he could do it in the first place was thanks to One For All. Shen's guess for who All Might gave One For All too was Mirio. He was All Might's original choice but Midoriya changed his mind. "You're acting like a villain while doing a hero's job isn't that ironic."

A dry yet chilling voice came from behind Bakugo as he turned around and scoffed. "Shut up Tomura. How can you remain calm after what they did!" The person who had walked up behind Bakugo was indeed Tomura although he looked different. He no longer had hands covering his body and his appearance wasn't shaggy anymore either. "If you remember we were trained specifically if something like this happened."

Shen's original threat was supposed to make the villain and heroes work together out of necessity and he had proven it worked, however, it also worked in different ways. After receiving and training All For One Tomura's view on the world changed. Realizing how small you are in the grand scheme of things causes you to shrink your goals.

And with Shen causing everyone's plans to go awry it could be described as putting him in his place. Along with that after his training with Bakugo, they could be considered friends to an extent. "Whatever! First, ima destroys all of his little dolls and then..." Looking towards a certain direction Bakugo's eyes seemed to flare.

Everyone in the area could hear what he was saying and knew what was in the direction he was looking at. Word had it that Shen had wiped out an entire area of land to prepare to build a base of operations. All officials in power had already met Shen in his fortress and pledged their allegiance so this base would be more of a symbol than anything else.

"Wait are you two seriously going to fight him?" Someone from the crowd of people spoke up. Bakugo turned to that person with a glare. "Of course. All of you can just sit here and watch. After im did with him Ima murder all those bastards that surrendered to him." Listening to the way Bakugo spoke they all simply stared at him not knowing what to say.

It was truly a lot of people in power surrendered to Shen even though it was to overall protect the citizens. No one was in the right or wrong so they could only watch as Bakugo turned away along with Tomura and left the area. Along the way, Bakugo did exactly as he said he would. Despite the police trying to stop him, he destroyed every Void Warrior he came up against no matter the number.

Destroying tens to hundreds in this one city alone word spread fast and so did the people secretly supporting him. It had only been days and there were already two people able to defeat Shen's 'unkillable' army. However, while it was a beacon of hope for some for others it was nothing but trouble.
