Bang! Bang! Bang!
All For One was horrified to discover that he couldn't feel anything anymore.
No pain.
No sensation.
And yet—
His body was rapidly breaking apart at an astonishing speed.
Through his perception, he could sense it clearly—
His legs were filled with something indescribable. The moment Shina Etsuha activated his ability, those microscopic entities began destroying him at the cellular level.
Before he could even register it—
His legs had already turned to dust.
Completely gone.
"What… kind of power is this?!"
For the first time in his life—
All For One felt true fear.
Even in his battles against All Might, he had never been this shaken.
This—
Was the closest he had ever come to death.
"…Did I miss a full hit because of the distance?"
High above, Shina Etsuha observed calmly.
All For One's perception ability had allowed him to detect Garuda the moment it appeared. He had fled immediately, creating just enough distance to avoid complete annihilation.
As a result—
Only his lower body had been destroyed.
Even so—
He was critically injured.
Etsuha wouldn't let this opportunity slip.
Gritting his teeth, he urged the giant white bird forward. Its wings snapped through the air as it curved sharply, positioning itself directly behind All For One.
"Susanoo."
BOOM!
A surge of crimson energy erupted around Etsuha.
It condensed into a massive skeletal form—only the upper body, but towering and terrifying.
Within that skeletal construct—
A blade began to form.
The Totsuka Blade.
In its other hand—
The Yata Mirror took shape.
Offense and defense, perfectly balanced.
A blazing red aura radiated outward, forming a monstrous figure that loomed over the battlefield like a god of destruction.
Below—
Edgeshot's mind went blank.
He had never imagined that the boy he'd dismissed as an ordinary student could unleash such overwhelming power.
This—
Was beyond comprehension.
At the same time—
All For One was shaken to his core.
When he had faced Etsuha earlier, he hadn't sensed anything like this.
But now—
Fully recovered, Etsuha's power had erupted completely.
Even in his current state—
All For One didn't dare take it head-on.
Whoosh!
The giant white bird accelerated again.
A streak of white flashed across the sky, overtaking the crippled All For One in an instant and cutting off his escape route.
The crimson blade descended.
A chill ran through All For One's body.
If that attack landed—
He would die.
Without hesitation—
He reached out with his remaining arm.
A Nomu appeared instantly in his grasp, used as a living shield.
The blade struck.
The Totsuka Blade pierced through the Nomu effortlessly, passing cleanly through its shoulder.
But then—
Something strange happened.
A mysterious energy spread through the Nomu's body.
Its form began to dissolve—
Melting into liquid—
Before being drawn into the gourd attached to the Susanoo.
All For One watched in horror.
His scalp tingled.
Only now did he realize—
Etsuha possessed far more terrifying abilities than he had imagined.
In that moment of crisis—
All For One activated his Quirk with everything he had.
A silvery fluid surged through space, as though reaching across dimensions—
And then—
People began to appear.
Dabi.
Moonfish.
Twice.
And several other Villains known to Etsuha.
At this point in time, they had not yet formally joined the League of Villains—but they were all nearby, drawn here instantly by All For One's teleportation ability.
"…Unbelievable."
Etsuha's expression grew serious.
Even in such a crippled state—
All For One still had enough power to pull multiple people across space.
The Villains, however, were completely confused.
They had been dragged here without warning, forced through that strange silver substance.
"What the hell is this? Filming a movie or something?"
"Wait… is this a fight? This is insane…"
"Ugh—something just went down my throat… that's disgusting—!"
All For One spoke coldly.
"If you don't want to die—kill him."
His gaze fixed on Etsuha.
"Otherwise… get out of my sight."
One of them scoffed.
"Are you serious, old man?"
His tone was filled with disdain.
"Why should we listen to you? I don't even know what's going on here."
In an instant—
All For One locked onto him.
His arm lifted slightly.
BOOM!
An air cannon exploded forward.
The blast grazed the Villain's face, slicing a deep cut across his cheek.
Behind him—
The ground erupted violently, as if struck by an explosive.
The message was clear.
Disobedience—
Meant death.
