Chapter 85: Chapter 84 Final Battle IV
Inazuma was able to see the evolutional process that was happening before him. A few minutes ago, Shimura was able to use physical evolutions to swim so as to stay on the surface of the water. But right now, he was standing on the water as if the water itself was solid surface. Inazuma was able to have two inferences from what he was observing and both of them was unwelcome news for him.
One, Shimura was gaining stability in his mind and was using certain quirks within him that were not used before. This is bad because Inazuma is of the belief that Shimura is not in his right mind and is suffering from all the trauma he had faced all these years and is lashing out so as to find solace for the sadness as well as all the other emotions trapped within him.
But if he had gained his intelligence and is still hell bent on attacking, it will be dangerous as he will have the same mentality as Tomura and will be hell bent on destroying everything. Leading to the rise of another catastrophe.
The other inference is that his combination of quirks and physical evolution is acting similar to how Mahoraga acts which is another kind of horror as it means that he is not limited by the quirks he had absorbed till now and therefore is able to adapt to almost any situation essentially bringing Garaki's quirk singularisation theory to life. A single quirk capable of doing almost everything any other quirk can do. If the quirk can adapt to anything, it would succeed.
Inazuma kept on dodging the attacks that landed upon him. His earlier attacks of cutting it down with his sword had strengthened it each time it regenerated so he decided not to attack and just keep on dodging the giant limbs falling on him. Thankfully, the adaptation had not reached a level where it increases its power when it comes across a shortcoming.
Right now, it only adapts to the things that directly harms him. The earlier water had brought suffocation to the real body when it was half submerged, leading to him gaining the ability to stand on water. Man, the religious fanatics of his old world would have started cults by now.
Inazuma accelerated his thoughts, trying to find an answer to this predicament. He conducted many simulations in his head about how the battle would go, and he was unable to find a way that did not involve him killing Shimura to stop him. But then another plan came to his head. A plan that would work but at the same time will leave a bitter aftertaste in his mouth. He knew the plan has a good chance of working and if it works, it will bring complete completion to this whole dilemma.
But the end result, he did not like it.
He then turned towards the direction of the beach and saw a green blur coming straight towards them.
'It seems like the fate of OFA and AFO is tied together one way or another, even if by a little bit at the end.'
For his plan to work he asked his system a question and gained an approval at the end.
"Got it" he muttered and went to catch Midoriya who was flying here,
"Inazuma- san" Deku was startled at how he was caught.
"No time to explain Deku" Inazuma said as he used his quirk to connect with One For All. He immediately send his plan to all the vestiges present in it.
He was able to feel the emotions of all of them. The most emotion came from Nana who sighed in a defeated tone at the end.
"This plan of yours, I agree that it seems like the only way to finish this and end it in a good manner" Nana said although each word seemed to drain more of her energy.
The others too were having different expressions an even the more intense of all of them had a sombre expression at the plan that was about to be executed.
"Hey, what are you doing making plans like this without telling me" Midoriya shouted in indignation. He had not even heard about the vestige of AFO in OFA being killed until way later and now they made a plan that did not reveal even a bit of it to him. He was feeling annoyed at being left out like this.
Nana Shimura came forward and hugged Deku tightly, immediately silencing him from making more comments of the unfairness he was facing.
"You are the best of us, you will also grow up to heights that was not even close to what would have been achieved by predecessors like us.
Plus, the heart of the hero you have, I'm glad that you were chosen by Allmight to carry on as the ninth user of this quirk."
Nana declared as the other vestiges nodded at the statement. Deku was startled as he was not able to process what just happened. He suddenly felt like something bad was about to happen.
"Wait… what are you planning to do?" Midoriya asked immediately but did not receive an answer. Then suddenly Nana Shimura, who was hugging him a few moments ago, vanished completely.
Midoriya was shocked, but then immediately realised that the hug he had gotten was not only Nana Shimura's way of saying goodbye, but it was also done so that he can be distracted from what was happening outside.
Midoriya immediately went out and found drops of his own blood falling on the mouth of Tomura Shigaraki whose body was now visible as Inazuma used his sword to carve out the entire humanoid form of flesh until the small body of Shigaraki became visible.
The moment the blood fell on his mouth which was pried open by Inazuma, Deku felt a loss of a part of him. He was able to feel the quirk float, one of his most used quirk vanish from his body.
