"Hah... hah..." Everyone sat paralyzed on the ground, looking nauseated, after being released from the black liquid. Even though it was meant for transferring, the sticky sensation that enveloped their bodies was extremely unpleasant.
Midoriya and his companions also noticed this scene and saw Bakugo, who had been kidnapped and transferred here.
"It's Kacchan!"
"Shh!" Iida immediately grabbed Midoriya, signaling for him to be quiet. "Don't forget, our goal is to rescue without fighting. There are too many people here, so we can't act recklessly. Do you understand?"
"But..."
"Iida is right," Todoroki said beside them. "The situation here is beyond our control. Even if we really want to save him, we need to find the best opportunity. For now, let's hide properly."
Midoriya struggled for a moment, watching Bakugo being caught in the distance, and could only endure it.
Meanwhile, Shigaraki, who had just recovered from the transfer, glanced at the unconscious Kurogiri on the ground before looking around. At first glance, he saw the group of Pro Heroes gathered together, but only Best Jeanist remained conscious and was looking at them warily.
"Sensei..."
All For One came from the previously destroyed building. Then, accompanied by footsteps, his tall figure appeared in front of them.
"My dear disciple, it seems that you have returned safely."
"I have to thank you for your help Sensei, but did a battle occur here?" Shigaraki looked at Best Jeanist and the others with doubt. "However, I don't think those guys could pose any threat to you."
"About that..."
All For One was about to answer, but suddenly...
"Hey, the battle is not over yet. Are you underestimating me?"
*LOCK!*
The moment All For One turned around, a golden lock rushed over and restrained him in place.
"Oh? This marvelous strength doesn't seem like a Quirk, but it has such a distinct characteristic. It's really intriguing." All For One, although restrained, was not nervous at all. Instead, he calmly commented on the situation.
Shigaraki couldn't help but speak up, "Sensei?"
"You don't have to come over. I want to get to know this interesting enemy better."
Renault, dragging his weary body out of the shadows, held a Transteam Gun in his hand and inserted another blue Fullbottle into it.
*DRAGON!*
As Renault pulled the trigger, a faint blue dragon-shaped energy emanated from the barrel, wrapping around his body as a protective shield. At the same time, he rotated the Driver control lever and activated the Phoenix fullbottle that was still attached to the Driver on his waist.
*DRAGON! PHOENIX!*
"Let's try this move, Black Hole Finish Kick." With these words, Renault appeared directly in front of All For One and kicked him in the chest with a spinning motion, powered by the gravitational force of the black hole.
With a roar of the dragon and the cry of the phoenix, the red and blue strengths merged into a formidable force that toppled All For One, propelling him into the black hole that had appeared behind him.
"Did we win?" Midoriya and the others hidden nearby were elated as they watched All For One disappear into the black hole.
However, a sudden change occurred.
"Your power is incredible, able to create a black hole. But it seems that your ability is not yet stable. This strength is impressive, but..." All For One's howl was cut short as a tremendous counterforce erupted from within the black hole, shattering it and his own body.
"Springy Muscle and Bones, Instapower Two Times, Arm Strength Enhancement Two Times, Rivets, Metalization, Gigantification... Let me show you my new move, even more painful than before! You, unknown guy, no, Evolto!!!"
Floating in mid-air, All For One's figure appeared before Renault in the blink of an eye. With a colossal fist accompanied by immense pressure, it squeezed Renault's moving space.
Unable to move! Unable to dodge! Moreover, there were residential buildings behind him!
It was evident that if this strike landed without anyone intercepting it, all objects within several hundred meters in a straight line behind him would be destroyed.
There was no choice but to withstand it.
*DIAMOND! TANK!*
With both arms petrified into diamonds and the body armored like a tank, Renault took a deep breath and stood upright.
*BANG!!!*
The huge impact directly collapsed the ground, buildings, walls, stones, and visible objects all around two people were scattered in all directions.
"Damn! It was so heavy!!!" As his body was continually pushed back by the attack, Renault could only grit his teeth and hold on.
"Renault, if you keep holding on, you won't be able to last much longer!" Evolto's voice came from his ear.
"Just... shut up!"
Just as he was about to collapse, a sharp sonic boom and a familiar roar came from the sky.
"All! For! One!!!"
"Hmm?"
All For One turned his head and looked at the sound coming from the air. He retracted his right fist and delivered a blow with his left fist, compressing the air to send Renault flying. Then, he clashed his fists against All Might.
"Return everything to me! All For One!!!"
"All Might! Do you want to kill me again?"
The powerful wind spread throughout the area once again, and the air pressure was even stronger, making it impossible for anyone to stand up.
After the exchange of a punch, both people stepped back a few steps and opened up the distance between them.
After All Might landed on the ground, he immediately looked around to assess the situation.
Shigaraki and his group were indeed here, as well as Bakugo. However, the situation with Best Jeanist and his team was not good, and before coming here, he had also seen an unknown person fighting with All For One.
Glancing to his right, All Might noticed an armored arm protruding from a pile of rubble, and understood that it was the unknown person.
The situation was not good. Another ally had fallen.
"But so what?" All Might clenched his fists and lowered his body, his muscles tense. "I won't make the same mistake as six years ago. This time, I will definitely defeat you, All For One!"
With that, the second round began.
Meanwhile, under the pile of rubble, Renault had not lost consciousness. His Kamen Rider transformation got undone, but a second before the rubble fell on him, he used Vector Manipulation to protect himself.
Within the limited space, he could only move one hand. He rubbed his chest and counted how many bones he had broken, asking, "Argh! All For One is really something. But isn't this just like the U.S.J. incident before? I got buried again! Ohh, by the way, how's my younger sister, Evolto?"
"Do you really have the time to worry about your younger sister? That old man with the American-hero comic style on the other side won't last much longer."
"I know, but I need to recover some strength, otherwise I won't stand a chance going out looking like this." As he spoke, Renault took out a syringe and injected it into himself.
