3 Chapter 3 - Leaving Home

Memories of what happened came back to Styxx and he realized he somehow devoured everyone's soul and was able to retain their knowledge and skill from that.

Outside, the rest of the world was panicking. People started to appear with superpowers, and along with those that wanted to help others, and of course, some wanted to do the opposite. The time of superpowers had arrived.

As the decades passed, they had started to send these super villains to the island, where it had been a death trap for centuries. The government could finally breathe a sigh of relief as all the villains never came back and weren't able to escape.

Unfortunately for them, they were creating a much bigger monster and they had no idea. At first, Styxx had struggled to fight these so-called 'super villains' but when he devoured them he also devoured their powers and was able to use them. No matter the power, he controlled it and advanced it, upgraded them as they started combing with other similar ones or had compatibility. After another decade, these new super villains were nothing but snacks to him.

…

Styxx laid on a comfortable sofa, that one of the criminals made, while two female villains fanned him with palm leaves. He had long ruled this island full of the scum of the earth and he had now grown tired of it. The villains that remained only lived because Styxx had powers that were vastly superior to what they had.

'Powers? I think they started calling them 'Quirks' now…' Styxx wondered,

'Almost 600 years ago, it would have been called "Witchcraft" and burned at the stake..'

Styxx suddenly got up, startling everyone in the vicinity. He had decided he had been stuck here long enough, he felt almost 600 years of serving as a warden for the world's worst and most criminally insane settled the deal he did with the church, centuries ago. He should no longer be bound to a religion that put him here as they shouldn't be anyone strong enough to stop him.

Time for revenge? Maybe not now, but it could happen as long as they leave him alone and didn't provoke him. With a nod, Styxx made his decision, It was time to see the world for himself, instead of hearing about it from those that sought to destroy it. This island should no longer be his burden to bear.

"I'm leaving this place!" Styxx exclaimed,

"Where will you be going, Lord?" someone asked,

"I think I'll travel the world and see it with my own eyes, instead of from others'," Styxx replied,

"What about us?" asked another,

Styxx grinned maliciously,

" I can't have anyone escaping, that's my one rule…" Styxx raised his finger and a swirling black and red flame appeared.

[Hell Flame]

…

Styxx flew away as the island burned in black and red. The world governments were startled to learn that the international supermax prison was on fire and nothing was able to put out the flames. The black and red flames seem to be able to burn for all eternity.

…

Styxx jumped out of the water and landed on a small pier in the Minato-Ku area just in front of the Tokyo Tower. People started to clamor and pointed at him as the water evaporated from his clothes, skin, and long black and platinum hair. Before anyone could take a picture, he disappeared. Finally, after decades of exploring the world, Japan was the last stop, the last country on his list.

Styxx reappeared above the Tokyo Tower, with his vision he was able to see and feel every soul in the city. When criminals with quirks were introduced to his island, he noticed the ball of gas had an additional color when before he had only seen three. Styxx decided that white, gray, and black showed how many sins that particular soul had. While the other colors identified the nature of the person's quirk; if it was purple it had to do with the mind, if it was red the power was most likely fire-based, things like that.

Just then, in the distance, a giant lady with a tight-fitting customer and a mask appeared and seemed to be trying to catch a villain with a dropkick, he could tell it was a villain from the dark gray soul in her vicinity.

'Look at them tits! Her name must be Mount Tits! Bet on it!' Styxx laughed at his thought before looking away and forgetting all about the commotion in the distance.

With his ability, to siphon other's knowledge when devouring their soul, Styxx learned many things from the islanders, as well as the mad scientists and super-criminals he had gladly killed. Styxx concurred that his 'Quirk' evolved when another of his kind was introduced to the world, some glowing baby in China.

Before this event, Styxx's body just passively devoured 'Life' or 'Vitality' out of nature, explaining his lack of needing to eat or drink while plant life withered and people grew weak when he healed or was in the vicinity of him for long periods of time. After he stopped aging, his need for sleep had been long nonexistent, he believes that the reason he needed sleep when he was a child so that he could grow up. Once he stopped growing and reached his 'max potential', or an age where it could handle his full power, he stopped aging.

Styxx surveyed the capital for a place to stay but was disappointed at the lack of pure and untouched nature available. So, he expanded his search parameters and found Mt. Tanzawa about 87 kilometers away. He reached the mountain in a second and quickly looked for a deserted area to make a cave.

Once he did, he palmed the side of the mountain and closed his eyes. He envisioned the dimensions of his new dwelling and once he confirmed all the details, his hand began to glow.

*Poof*

The side of the mountain was hollowed out and the stone had turned into sand, leaving an entrance made of stone. Styxx then called the wind and pulled all that sand out from the space that was made and scattered it into the sky.

Styxx then walked into his new home. From the entrance, Styxx carved out small cubes from the stone walls, then with a Quirk that made things glow he turned them into lights. Once, he was done with the lighting, he moved on to make it homier. He cut the air and a black, misty hole appeared, he stuck his arm in and pulled out all of his furniture he had collected through his travels.

The couch was from Italy, the TV from Korea, the carpets were from Brazil, one by one the empty cave stopped looking so empty and dark and turned into a high-class dwelling fit for Styxx. To power everything, all Styxx had to do was transfer electricity to the air and from there, into the devices, a sort of wireless power supply.

Once he was done, Styxx walked back out and with a stomp, a stone wall was raised and covered the rectangular entrance.

"It's time to tour the city of Tokyo," Styxx said before black angel wings sprouted from his back and he took to the skies.
