Chapter 25
As there was two weeks left for the UA Sports Festival, it was time to get working. My connections in the underworld would help me find the person who would make me stronger.
Before that, let's talk about the underworld itself. Now previously when I had said that I was mind controlling every goon it obviously didn't mean 'everyone'.
Even with all the advantages I might seem to have over other people these guys aren't that dumb. Besides in a superpower saturated world there would always be a counter to something. If not natural than artificial.
All For One is still a very feared individual in the underworld. Ever since his defeat his presence has all but seem to vanish but still whenever his name is uttered people freak out as if he's the boogeyman which to some degree he still is.
Along with the League Of Villains the Yakuza also have a important place in this ecosystem. But lately they have been in a slump. Something which Chisaki surely is working towards mending it.
So the guys who I had under my control were in game terms low level ones. Ones who's existence or disappearance would not matter to the underworld I'm the grand scheme of things.
While I was taking over them I came to know about the dark side of the society. Now sure I knew that it existed. The darkness that is hidden due to the ever shining light that was All Might's existence festering in the deep recesses of the society.
Pro Heroes that had backdoor deals with these guys. Who are in the business just to satiate their lust for power, status and money. Having ultimate power due to which no matter what they do they would always be shown in a positive light.
Extortion, Drug abuse, Rape, Killing anyone who would be a threat to themselves.Knowing is one thing but to actually witness such atrocities committed by these so 'Heroes' was revolting.
Sure unlike my classmates I had known that delusions of the world being all rainbows and sunshine was all just a facade to hide what's really going on. And the number of Pro Heroes who are like this is astonishingly high.
Well it's just like the saying the brighter a light shines the darker the shadow it casts. I would have to deal with such people in the near future considering that obviously I am not as morally corrupt as them.
Says the guy who has brainwashed goons all for the 'Greater Good'. I accept that I have done questionable things and would continue to do so if it enables me achieve my goals. But I would never consciously intend to harm any innocent person.
One of such person that is the total opposite of this is Goto Imasuji. Better known as Muscular. His crimes include Mass murder, Mutilation, Torture, Multiple jailbreaks, Terrorism, Attempted kidnapping, Psychological abuse, Assault and battery, Stalking, Abuse.
This guy is my target. Not only because he is a crazy psychopath with no restrain and would go on to become a member of the League Of Villains but also because of his quirk. His quirk Muscule Augmentation would greatly enhance my blueprint of a stronger body along with the Nomu's physique.
He is currently in hiding considering his latest actions of murdering a family of four that were collateral damage in a fight against a Hero which he injured severely.
Good thing I came early as I don't want him joining the League Of Villains. I will weaken the villains as much as possible as the awakening of Shigaraki is something truly disastrous to everyone.
Currently I am outside one of the hideouts that is presently being used by Imasuji. It deep in the forest where there is no sign of civilization anywhere you look at. I am in my Nano suit as I give Nano the order to scan him when he uses his quirk.
[Order confirmed Master]
I spread out my telepathic senses and notice that he is still in the cave. So I do what I gotta do. I bring down the entire cave down on him.
With dust and debris all around I know that he wouldn't be out of the game with just this one move. I am proven right and something or rather someone launches out of the remains of the cave and lands in front of me.
Imasuji is a large, bulky, and extremely muscular man set wide with short, spiky, and sandy blond hair with small black eyes. He has a large scar going across the left side of his face, his left eye currently lacking a prosthetic one, and he has another, smaller scar on the right side of his forehead.
He looks at me and says,"That sure was one hell of a fucking show of power you bastard! Who the fuck are you!?" he questions in rage.
"Just someone who wants to use you to get stronger" I reply to him.
He laughs,"Using me for power? Then you just have to satiate my bloodlust", saying this he pounces on me. I dodge from where I previously was as there is a crater due to the sheer power he possesses.
Muscular then charges towards me, delivering a series of powerful punches and kicks. With my superior martial prowess I am able to keep up with him.
In terms of pure physical capacity, he is stronger than me. But he is just a beast who fights on instinct, a potent one but instinct nonetheless.
While we are fighting I manipulate the debris around us to sharp spears as I hurl it towards him. It penetrates his muscles but doesn't go deep enough to actually hinder him.
I deliver a solid punch to his liver as he stumbles back. I take this chance to float up in the air and form even more spears this time lighting them on fire as I fire it towards Muscular. He dodges a few but I don't relent as I keep him on his toes.
Eventually he slips as he is skewered by the spears. He is bloodied all over with cuts and burns all over his body as he is panting like a dog.
"Raaargh!" he shouts as he activates his quirk into overdrive as muscle fibers shoot out of his body thereby removing the spears lodged inside his body and covers his entire torso with muscles.
He jumps towards me with a fist that surely packs quite a bit of power behind it. Due to my aerial maneuverability I easily side step his haphazard attack as I am done playing with him.
I charge up quite a bit of electricity around my fist as I punch him with force on his back. I don't let up the electricity as I continue to pump more electricity into his body as his muscles all contract and sustaining even more burn damage. I keep this up till he losses his consciousness as we fall towards the ground.
[Data has been collected]
Nano coming in clutch at the opportune moment I am finished with my work here. I look his unconscious body as I have to make a decision.
I take a deep breath and steel myself as I snap his neck ending his life. I have to make sure that Garaki does not get his quirk factor. I set his body on fire with the help of its higher state that is plasma.
The DNA in blood is said to be non traceable when exposed to temperature of around 1000 degrees Celsius and the temperature of plasma is atleast around 6000 degrees Celsius.
I make sure that his body is incinerated to ashes not before taking DNA samples from him as I cover the tracks left behind of our battle as much as I could as I make way back to home heavy in thoughts of my encounter with Muscular.
