Chapter 190: Chapter 189: No Need.
For All for One, the intense joy was indescribable, as if it had descended upon him.
The Dark Lord greatly desired the Quirk called "Vector Manipulation."
Just as Accelerator had a premonition, AFO also had a strong feeling.
So, in this tough battle, after enduring for a long time, AFO revealed another trump card.
Quirk: Nullify
As the name suggests, it can temporarily nullify others' abilities by touching them.
The "Nullify" Quirk is very similar to Eraser Head's (Aizawa Shouta) "Erase" Quirk.
Both Quirks work by forcing the Quirk factor in the target's body into dormancy.
However, the user's development and strength affect the Quirk.
AFO's third-stage "Nullify" is the complete version.
At its peak, it can do what Eraser Head's "Erase" Quirk cannot, temporarily nullifying transformation types and even permanently enhancing types.
The reason AFO's "Nullify" surpasses Eraser Head's "Erase" is because of the All for One Quirk.
As one of the two most special Quirks in the world, it naturally has such terrifying power.
However, to use All for One Quirk to its fullest extent, AFO must be at his peak strength.
The downside is that the "Nullify" Quirk only works for a moment.
Fortunately, according to AFO's battle predictions, the current situation was still within his expectations.
Even though the League of Villains and AFO had limited and incomplete information about "Vector Manipulation."
With his vast Quirk experience, AFO was confident that "Vector Manipulation" was a permanent enhancement type Quirk.
From the instant activation of the "Reflection" effect, AFO was even more certain of his judgment.
"—Quirk: Nullify!"
With a battle cry, the Dark Lord revealed his trump card!
As if fate favored AFO for the third time, he indeed grabbed Accelerator's foot on his face.
Victory was within reach.
All of AFO's actions and strategies so far were to bypass the "Reflection."
Even enduring the humiliation of being stepped on was part of the plan.
To counter Accelerator's other trump card, his unfathomable "speed."
So, did the "Nullify" Quirk work on the "Reflection"?
The answer was no.
Accelerator smiled kindly at the trembling AFO, who was shaking with joy.
Just when it seemed like AFO was about to launch a counterattack, someone was still smiling calmly.
Could it be that Accelerator was overconfident? No, that wasn't it.
AFO's Quirk, which could cancel out almost all abilities in the world, was like the time Accelerator happily sparred with his homeroom teacher, Aizawa. Quirks that cancel out Quirk factors can't cancel out superpowers.
Moreover, there were countless ways for someone to deal with AFO's outstretched hand.
But Accelerator didn't use any of those methods.
He even stopped his "Reflection" the moment AFO touched him, based on his thoughts.
It was a proud and arrogant stride.
His actions weren't based on underestimating or playing around.
Just as AFO desired "Vector Manipulation," Accelerator was also eyeing the power called "All for One."
That strong feeling was something he couldn't ignore, as if it was a step towards "hearing the will of the heavens with a mortal body."
Although Accelerator no longer sought invincibility and stood against his past self, he hadn't let go of his desire for power after experiencing an event that seemed to save him before crossing over.
It wasn't about winning or challenging.
It was something deeper and more profound—protecting a little girl.
Even though he had more things to protect now, he never forgot the strong feelings and original intention that made him want to shout at the sky.
For this, power was essential.
All for One was one of the key points to gaining power.
When he first arrived in this world, Accelerator's calculation ability even dropped to Level 4 until he thwarted several attacks from the League of Villains and defeated many enemies.
Something that even the smartest person in Academy City couldn't understand happened. His calculation ability not only returned to its peak but also increased by ten percent. According to the Tree Diagram's calculations, it would take 250 years of regular training to evolve into a Level 6.
But in just one year in this world, it was equivalent to 25 years.
So, based on his deductions and repeated comparisons, he concluded that this world's development couldn't avoid the "story."
When Accelerator heard Shokuhou Misaki talk about the concept of "travelers," he had some conclusions that needed practical data to confirm.
It was about "destiny" and "settings."
He, Accelerator, was very likely one of the "travelers," with the only difference being that he had no memory of the "story."
So, he viewed AFO's meticulous actions this way.
He could dodge, but it wasn't necessary.
He could reflect, but it wasn't necessary either.
He wanted to understand the essence of the All for One Quirk.
Like a mathematician who calculates the force needed to destroy a planet and wants to verify if the "answer" is correct.
Setting aside so-called human ethics, perhaps it was this normal thought that made him not react.
However, still immersed in the effects of the "Cancel" Quirk, the Dark Lord didn't know his lifelong enemy's thoughts.
AFO, trembling with excitement, was sure he had obtained "Vector Manipulation."
He was so sure because a clear stream of information, like an instruction manual, appeared in his mind when he succeeded.
