4 Chapter 4 - Looking Down On Tokyo

It was just around noon, Styxx landed back again on top of Tokyo Tower, his black wings quickly folding and going back inside his body. With his vast variety of Quirks that enhanced his vision, it was not a problem for him to look over the entirety of Tokyo and even beyond. Styxx took a seat right at the edge and monitored those millions below him, hero and civilian alike. Heroes could be seen patrolling their respective areas and signing autographs for passing fans, while others were stopping petty crimes they came across.

Suddenly, Styxx detected a disturbance coming from the Northeast of his position. His pupils turned into vertical slits as he zoned in on the particular area. Styxx tracked a green slime-looking villain running away from the crime scene, where he probably committed a robbery or some other crime.

Styxx was just about to make a move and kill the villain when the slime guy looked back and quickly escaped into the sewers. Styxx looked for what scared the slime ball, and there he was, the supposedly Symbol Of Peace, All Might.

'All Might? What's that brat doing here in Japan? … I see he is still as useless as ever, letting villains run away just so he can pose and announce his presence instead of just quietly taking them down,' Styxx thought,

Styxx wasn't worried about the slime guy, the moment the villain shows his slimy face, Styxx would lock on to him. Styxx watched as that dumbass, 'L'might, jumped into the sewers chasing the villain after regurgitating some awful lines like, 'I am here!' and 'Do not worry!'.

'You're going to smell like ass, Albrat! I hope you don't have a date later on today,'

10 minutes later, felt the slime guy reappear, he snapped his head in his direction, only to witness the slime trying to take over the body of some poor, green-haired, scrawny kid with a bad case of depression.

Styxx sat up and took a knee, he made a finger gun gesture with his hand as a small ball of red energy appeared at the tip.

'Don't move too much kid, or I'll vaporize you too!'

Styxx's eyes flickered before putting his hand down, frowning in annoyance. All Might bust out the sewers like the Kool-Aid man and saved the kid.

'Tch! Next time, I'll vaporize you along with the villain if you take my prey away again,'

Styxx saw as All Might put the villain inside a plastic bottle, sign the kid's notebook, before waking the boy up.

'What a bumbling mess,' Styxx thought as he watched the startled and nervous boy stutter trying to talk to Almight and apologizing more than he had to.

'You must be constantly bullied, boy! Grow a pair and kill your bullies already!'

"Pfffttt!" Styxx spat out a laugh as he saw the boy hold unto All Might's leg as the latter was jumping away.

The boy's fear-stricken face brought a laugh out of Styxx as he tracked them flying through the air. Almight could be seen arguing with the boy, trying to get him to let go, the boy obviously refusing for fear of falling to his death.

Feeling it was worth listening to the antics of the comedic duo, Styxx's ears morphed into ones that resemble those of a bat. These ears were specialized for mono-direction listening over long distances, instead of the Omni-directional Quirk he was using until now to cover the city.

'Oi! You dropped something!'

Styxx noticed the bottle holding the villain slip out from All Might's pocket before falling to the ground and bursting open, allowing the mucous-looking villain freedom once again.

Styxx track the slime until he found another kid with spiky blonde hair, with what looked like an explosion quirk.

Styxx smacked his forehead at another of Almight's blunder.

'Is this really the Symbol Of Peace?' he asked himself before turning to look back at the duo now standing on a rooftop.

'Who the hell is that?!'

On the rooftop, instead of the green-haired boy and All Might, a skinny blonde man that coughed up blood with every word. The dying man raised his shirt and explained how this was his true form and how he got that ghastly wound. How he was down to only a couple of hours of heroic since his respiratory system was in shambles.

'So, in the end, you didn't recover… that's a shame. If I ever feel like being nice I'll heal you but with how annoying you seem to be, there's a higher chance that I beat you up instead,'

Styxx happened to be there when All Might fought Venom Chainsaw and received that wound. At the time, he had considered healing the man but, not wanting to reveal his existence and thinking someone else could heal him, simply turned and walked away continuing his grocery shopping.

All Might continued his speech about the greater good and how heroes should put their life on the line. Styxx couldn't help but laugh at the hypocrisy as he turned his vision back to the schoolboy with the villain taken over his body and seeing at least five heroes watching from the sidelines waiting for a 'suitable' hero to appear.

Just then, the villain let out an explosion, destroying the city block. Styxx's eyes followed All Might to the scene of the ongoing crime and smirked.

"So, what will you do now, Symbol of Peace? Will you watch the young one die in front of you, even with all those heroes at the scene?"

Then, something unexpected happened, Styxx's eyes glimmer with excitement as he watched on. The green hair boy from before pushed through the crowd and dashed towards the villain. It appeared the both boys knew each other, lovers, perhaps?

"Hoh~" Styxx exclaimed, a grin forming on his face.

"That's right, boy! So what if you don't have powers?! You don't need powers to be a hero! Just look at the heroes from antiquity!"

Styxx's hands started to glow blue, he was going to reward the boy by saving him and his friend but unfortunately for Styxx, a giant, buff man blocked his vision and with a punch and a loud scream of "SMASH", the wind pressure blew the villain apart, saving the two boys.

"THAT IS IT, ALL MIGHT!!"

Styxx eyes glowed white and the sky over the fight scene darkened and it started to rain. The audience watching the scene exclaimed that All Might had changed the weather with his punch, adding more fuel to Styxx's anger.

"Taste 1.21 gigawatts, you smiling motherfucker!"

As All Might stood there posing for the cameras, he felt danger and looked up, seeing an arc of lightning spread through the clouds before quieting down and dissipating.

On the Tokyo Tower.

"*sigh* I still can't bring myself to hurt actual heroes… but, you, on the other hand, can die!"

Styxx's eyes dashed to the opposite side of the city, where he zoned in as a hero was helping a bunch of criminals smuggle drugs into a truck. A laser shot out from the tip on his finger, just as it was nearing the abandoned warehouse, where all the criminals and hero were, it split up into 30 small yet powerful beams. The lasers penetrated the heads of everyone at the scene, they went to hell never knowing how they died.

Styxx spit on the metal roof of the tower in disgust, as he saw the hero's body hit the ground, a look of surprise still etched on the dead man's face.

"Disgusting scum!"

These fake heroes didn't deserve the title. To him, they were no different than trash and he will continue to take out the trash, as long as he feels like it.

Styxx's hatred of criminals and fake heroes really didn't start until he left the island. On the island, to him, they were just people that did the crime, were caught and put there. He cared not for the specifics of their crimes or what they actually meant. But seeing it firsthand it as it happened, really disgusted Styxx.

And when he learned that some heroes were no different and fully corrupted, he lost it, making their deaths a priority over the deaths of criminals and villains. You can expect atrocities from criminals and supervillains, that's who they are, but having your trust betrayed by a hero as they watch you die, or worse, force you down and rape you, that's not something Styxx could forgive.

Styxx's ability to see the state of someone's soul dictated how he treats that particular person. Between white and gray; innocent. Between gray and black; observation and judgment of sins. Anyone with a black soul and above; Extermination without hesitation. A black soul represents the purest of evil deeds, a deadly threat to the common people.
