Chapter 141: Arrival

Teka watched the villains and their preparations with a neutral expression on the lava. Her gaze turned to the side, checking to see if another ice ray was coming. She sighed lightly after confirming that no more ray attacks were coming.

Her breathing was stifled, even the air coming out of a hot teapot could not compare to it. It was like comparing an atomic bomb to the explosion of a firecracker. They weren't on the same lane, and that showed how hot Teka's body was.

Teka stood there silently. In her gaze, the villains recovered and took a step back to plan.

"I have to stop them, but…" Teka clicked her tongue and turned her head. Her breaths did not lose strength. Air currents were coming out not only from her mouth but also from her shoulders and hair roots.

It was not like her to wait while her enemies were preparing. As in all battles, she preferred to suppress her opponents and control the situation without giving them a chance to prepare.

But she couldn't do that. She was angry right now.

She was physically angry, not emotionally. Turning her body into the lava like it is now was not as simple as one might think.

Teka's Quirk had great potential and unrevealed power. If she used all her strength, she could wipe out cities, and if she forced herself, she could have the effect of an atomic bomb, rendering the lands of a city as big as China useless.

But doing so had a price. That price was Teka's biggest weakness.

Teka had great control over the strength and absolute authority over the lava, but she had one major weakness, namely Heat resistance.

Don't get this wrong. Teka had Heat and Flame Resistance. If it wasn't, she wouldn't be able to reveal 50% of the scene she's currently doing. She was resistant to Heat and Fire, and by controlling her Quirk she could also control the heat acting on her body.

However, no matter how heat-resistant a substance was, it needed to melt and decompose after a certain degree. Such was the situation inside Teka's body, which had become a living furnace. Her organs were covered with a suffocating feeling from the heat from outside, and they were slowly cooking from the outside to the inside.

So she could do nothing but rest while they were making plans. How annoyed she was, she didn't want to die by being cooked from the outside in.

While Teka cooled herself, the villain was thinking about how to attack her.

All Teka's demonstrations discouraged them from fighting and made them want to run away crying like a child. In particular, the experience of just being cooked alive was something they never wanted to taste again, and honestly, they were traumatized.

If they hadn't had a predator that could kill them if they did something against A.F.O's will, they would have run away.

"Those who have Quirks that strengthen their bodies will come with me. Persons with other Quirks will attack from behind. Ice/Water/Cold Gas etc. Those who have Quirks will make way for us and try to block her attacks. I want you to push the limits of your Quirk." Giganto talking while watching Teka just standing there.

Teka just stood there and stared at them. However, even that was causing a great deal of pressure to settle on their shoulders.

"D-Didn't we try that already... We can't win against her..." One of the villains stepped forward and spoke in a helpless tone. He didn't want to fight Teka again. He did not want to touch even orange, red, or yellow food in his life, it was doubtful that he would even touch hot things.

''Win against her? We will not deal with it. Master will defeat her. We'll just be meat bags that need to be beaten while the Master will kill her." Giganto spoke with a twisted sense of devotion. He had a crooked smile on his face. It was so obvious to the villain that he was willing to be a meatbag for A.F.O.

The villains looked at each other with distressed expressions. They didn't want to do this, but they had no other choice. If they didn't, Giganto would kill them, and even if he didn't do anything, they would never find a place among the villains again, and they would be slaughtered by A.F.O's subordinates.

It was a go-go situation.

Those who had Body Enhancement Quirks reluctantly pushed their Quirks to the limit. The bodies of a few tens of men in the crowd of villains doubled. Some had their skin covered with iron plates, some had their muscles formed, and some were transformed into animals.

Ice, water, etc., from the hands of those who have Quirks that can attack from afar. cold things were coming out.

The only thing the villain had in common was the pain on their faces.

One's Quirk would change that person's body and make some of their organs different from others. The lungs of someone who blew flames would differentiate, while those who strengthen skins would have different skins. If the person had a Quirk that affected their entire body, their entire body would undergo metamorphosis.

In cases where they pushed their Quirks to their limits, as they do now, these organs would be in extreme pain, or their entire body would suffer from the Quirks affecting their bodies.

But there was nothing they could do. They grit their teeth, endured the pain, and waited for Giganto's command.

"A little more…" Teka, watching them from afar, grits her teeth and whispers. Her hand was turning into a fist and loosening. As long as they stayed a little longer, she would be completely healed and all the heat in her body would go.

"Prepare for a while..."

''Get ready...''

''A little more...''

''Attack...''

"Ah, whatever."

The bigger villains pounced on Teka. Teka clicked her tongue and stopped radiating heat from her body.

She no longer thought about what would happen next. She would take them down first, then fight the pain that would come.

Her hands turned into fists, her veins exposed. However, no blood was flowing from her veins, the orange-yellow color of pure lava was visible in her veins. Her hair fluttered, the lava in the city center moving like huge waves with Teka at the center.

The muscular villains are running towards Teka, while the villains attacking from afar have directed ice, water, and various cold attacks under their feet. So the lava would freeze and the villain would have ground to step on.

Pat! Pat! Pat! Pat!

One after another, the villains came before Teka and attacked her. Some punched in the side. While some were clinging to the floor and kicking her in the face, Giganto came in front of Teka with her large body and tried to hold her with both arms.

Teka looked up, making eye contact with Giganto, who was trying to catch herself. She let out the compressed air through her nose. She curled her index finger up.

VHOSSSS!!

The lava suddenly rose and engulfed Giganto along with the villains. Teka waved her hand back. The lava completely blocked Teka's view before returning to its original state. When it was back to its old self, the villain didn't appear anywhere.

Criling!

Lava waves went from sight. A ray of ice greeted her in front of her face. The ice ray was twice the size of its predecessors, and she could feel the cold air even from afar.

"!!" Her eyes widened. Her hands lined up in front of her face. The ice ray hit her hands.

Teka was thrown back. As she was dragged by the ice ray, the lava in the areas she passed was splashing from side to side. In Teka's hand, the areas where the ice ray hit was freezing until they turned into dark rocks.

Crack!

With a snapping sound, half of her left hand snapped off and fell into the lava. Teka's face wrinkled, and she bit her lower lip. Her lava skin stirred, filling the place of her severed fingers, and her fingers formed again.

She flipped her hair to the right. Her lava hair ran over Teka's shoulder, forming a great wall of lava between her and the ice ray.

Criling!

The ice ray was freezing the lava wall from where it hit. Teka pulled her head back, severing her lava hair from the wall. She took two steps back and turned around. She looked at the lava wall, then just below it, before plunging into the lava. Then it plunged into the lava.

Blosh! Blosh! Blosh!

As soon as she disappeared, the villains, drawn into the lava, rushed out of the lava and tried to catch her, but they were able to catch the empty air.

Vhosh! Vhosh!

The villains in the distance used their Quirks to create a backdrop for the brawny villains and Giganto to land. Emerging from the lava, Giganto and the others set foot on the ground and began to survey the surroundings.

Their bodies were twice the normal size. Their muscles were stretched to their limits, their veins protruding under their skin like ropes. Giganto's body size was particularly gigantic, surpassing the others. It was as tall as a several-story building, and it took up most of the ground on which they stood.

"Where?" Giganto turned his massive body to the side. All he saw was the lava that covered the city center and the glow of the lava. He turned to the left, the lava met him again. He could see nothing of Teka, his vision of nothing but lava and burning buildings.

"Could it be… she escaped?" One of the muscular villains made an absurd guess. He knew his words were nonsense, but he wanted Teka to escape and this battle to end.

"No!" Giganto spoke loudly enough to shake the ground they were on. He shook his head.

"That tigress never escapes." Giganto trusted his judgment. He was sure that Teka was not someone to run away from, no matter how bad the situation.

She was here. She watched them through the lava that burned the oxygen and made it impossible to breathe. Like a tiger wandering in the bushes, she was walking around them with quiet and sure steps, waiting for the best moment. When she finds the best moment, she'll jump in and...

Would rip their necks off.

"So be careful and watch around."

''HA!!''

The villain obeyed orders and began to watch the environment. They were alert to the possibility of a possible attack, making sure they were watching to the right, left, ahead, everywhere possible, and were careful not to give Teka any opening where she could attack.

As the bad guys kept watching, time passed. After Teka disappeared from view, the ice ray stopped attacking. The villain was looking for Teka in the silence.

Blob! Blob! Tssss!!

The sound of burning things was heard. Air bubbles bursting on the surface of the lava spread the smell of sulfur. Accompanied by the burning buildings, the bad guys stood on the platform, watching the surroundings.

The other villains weren't just standing there and fortifying their defenses. At first, they had a silly plan to go over to the muscular villains. However, this plan was thwarted by the fact that Teka could finish them off in one strike, and they began to strengthen their defenses.

Time passed like this. Minutes passed in silence. Nothing was happening. There was neither an attack nor a sign from Teka.

Gulp!

There was a loud swallow. The villain was getting worse as time went on. They would rather fight Teka than wait for her like this. Sweat was coming out of their palms and bodies, but it instantly turned into steam in the hot environment.

They felt like prey waiting in a clearing in the middle of trees and bushes. A hunter, whose existence they knew but could not see a part of, was prowling through the bushes and watching them.

As one of the prey looked around, he turned his head to one of the villains in the distance. Like them, they were having their tense moments with distant villains.

"Hm?" But someone suddenly tried to say something while looking at them. He was waving his hands wildly, bouncing in place and trying to say something to them.

"What are you saying?" The man shouted. He frowned and tilted his head to the side. With his words, the villain he was looking at started waving his arms even more wildly. The man couldn't make sense of it.

The other side's expression was getting paler. Other villains noticed this, too, and when they looked where he was looking, their expressions were ugly, as if they had seen the scariest thing they had ever encountered.

However, because they were so far away, the man could not understand what they were saying. He squinted his eyes and read his lips.

''Be-''

''-Hind''

''You!''

"Behind me?" He turned his head and looked behind him. He had noticed the uproar the other villain was making. They turned their heads and looked behind their shoulders. He turned to check what was in the Giganto.

ROARRR!!

The huntsmen thought they saw a red fur tiger thrown at them. Because of the suffocating killing intent and brutality, they momentarily lost their ability to think.

Teka, in the lava, was jumping into their area with a huge lava wave behind her. Behind her was the biggest lava wave they had ever seen. Like a tsunami, meters of high lava waves were crashing on them.

Teka, on the nose of the Lava Tsunami, was facing the ground. Her lava body seemed to merge with the lava behind her, every drop of lava around them was her body, and the huge body was coming to swallow them.

And there was nothing they could do about it. Throughout the battle, they were helpless against Teka's attacks.

SPLASHH!! BLOSHH!!!!!

The Lava Tsunami wave crashed over them and they disappeared into the lava. When the lava wave hit the ground, the lava churned stirred, and collapsed inward. Then it erupted like a volcano.

KABOOMMMMM!!

Not only them but even the villain watching from afar were engulfed by the lava waves and were once again drawn into the hot lava waves. The hell-like experience had begun for them once again.

While the battle was going on, there was an influx of messengers from far away to the region they were in. News helicopters, jeeps and vehicles, and messengers began to arrive, using whatever they could find.

First the lava column, now a volcanic eruption, not only the messengers but the government, the heroes, and even the locals wanted to know what was going on. They were aware that a very big battle was going on, but even other battles were not as serious as what happened here.

An unknown hero fighting villains? There were many unrecognized heroes in this world, and one of them might have had Quirk who could create such effects.

Considering this possibility, the news channels were doing their best to reach the area faster, as they wanted to be the first to feature an unknown hero and present it to the public. This was gold news for them, their channels would explode if they were the first to report the news.

They had to get there, and when they did, they would encounter a scene they hadn't thought of.

...

"Looks like you defeated all of my subordinates, Teka Todoroki…" A.F.O's solemn voice echoed through the raging lava city center. The lava kept falling on top of each other, constantly mixing and burning the villain it had engulfed.

Splash! Splash! Splash!

As the lava waves crashed on top of each other and the raging waves continued to emerge, from the edges of the lava that covered the city center, each time the lava waves crashed into the pond, lava splashed out and fell far away, strengthening the flames in the city.

The lava that covered the city center had expanded considerably since the beginning of the battle. Slowly but surely, they were advancing, melting the buildings in front of them. Buildings that encountered the lava first bent to the side and then kept their position before falling to the ground and sinking into the lava.

"I knew you wouldn't be defeated by these, but I didn't think you were that strong..."

The lava waves calmed down for a moment. Progress stopped. It was as if all the lava were waiting for A.F.O's words as a self.

"Then I'll borrow some of your strength." A.F.O's words were accompanied by the positioning of satellites in space.

The closed screen of the laptop in the Blake household opened. The subordinates were commanded, money transferred, approval commands were given, and Teka's 10 satellites were positioned.

Their target was the lava pool on the battlefield.

At the command of "Fire." The satellites began to heat up. A gigantic "Fired!" appeared on the laptop screen. The tips of the satellites glowed with a red light.

However, this only lasted a moment. The next moment, the ends of the satellites glowed with a blue light. Looking closely, it could be seen that a purple portal was opening at the edges of the satellites, and a man dressed in a suit had his arm stretched out to the satellites.

Criling!

Shining with a cold blue light, the satellites were ignited. Ten satellites simultaneously fired cold beams into the lava inferno that covered the city center. It took a moment for the cold ray to reach the lava.

Deep in the lava, Teka frowned at the incoming rays. She knew it was her satellite. A.F.O must have somehow transferred his Quirk to the satellites using the worm he had placed on their satellites, and the number of ice rays had suddenly increased to 10.

''Tsk*'' It was frustrating when that number suddenly went up to 10, maybe 12 while having a problem with someone. The greatest danger to her throughout the battle was neither the A.F.O, nor the Nomus, nor the two private Nomus. These ice rays were the biggest problem for her.

When lava came into contact with the extreme cold, it would turn into stone as it cooled. This might seem like a simple thing, but some of the body parts were turning to stone and falling off. It was more painful than tearing her body apart, and she was overwhelmed after experiencing it so many times.

However, this did not mean that she would give up or give up and wait for death.

Svosh! SWOSH!!

She opened both hands. Her hair, brighter than lava, fluttered like a swallow in the water. Her gaze became serious for a moment, she grits his teeth and raised her hands. Her expression was serious as if she wanted to lift a huge thing.

Her hair disappeared in an instant. It did not disappear, it became a whole with the lava.

SPLOSH!! BLOP! BLOP! SPLASHHH!!

The temperature of the lava increased dramatically. The weather was so choppy due to the extreme heat that a person couldn't see a step ahead.

BAM!!

Some parts touched by the lava could not stand the extreme heat any longer and collapse. Large holes appeared in the streets, some of which were connected to water pipes and some to sewers.

TSSSHHHHH!!

As soon as the lava entered the sewers, it filled the sewers. When they came into contact with water, they turned into a gray-black semi-solid-semi-liquid, muddy substance. The water in the sewers was evaporating, and the pressure in the pipes was increasing.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The sewer pipes, which could not withstand any more pressure, burst. Loud sounds resembling the sound of a bomb explosion echoed through the city. The explosions turned into chain explosions and reached the houses and exploded the buildings.

The city, which had looked like an image of hell from the beginning, had now turned into complete hell. Stripped of all living things, the burning city created an image of Japan that will never be erased from their minds and will inspire many in the future.

The growing lava collided with ice beams after a few short seconds. A large amount of steam was released. In the areas where the rays and lava collided, the lava was turning into black-gray stones, preventing their contact.

At least it was supposed to be like this, but the rays from the satellites in space broke the gray-black stones and reached the lava underneath, and started to turn even the lava underneath into stone.

It didn't take long for all the lava to turn into black-gray stone. Even at the last moment, Teka continued to fight. However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not resist the attack of the ten ice rays. The final image of her as the lava turned to stone was her beautiful figure staring at the sky amidst the lava and clenching her teeth to control the lava.

**

Chop! Chop! Chop! (Helicopter sounds. I didn't know how else to describe it.)

The helicopters with the names of the news channels were arriving at the battlefield one by one. Not only helicopters but also off-road vehicles, trucks, special vehicles, etc. All the vehicles were rushing to the area one by one.

Cameramen came out of the rear windows of the vehicles with cameras on their shoulders. Newscasters, on the other hand, started to make their news without caring about their clothes and hair, which were blown away due to the speed of the vehicle.

Similar situations could be seen even in helicopters. The doors of the helicopters were opened, and the newscasters were presenting the news, shouting amid the blowing hair and the sound of propellers. One moment the cameramen were filming them, the next moment they were showing the shocking image behind them.

On the ground where the cameras were in focus was a huge black-and-gray boulder. A heat was emitted from the rock that could be felt even from afar. Huge clouds of white steam were coming out of the boulder, hot enough to burn one's skin.

The boulder covered a huge area, almost from the east side of the city to the west side, north to south. Most of the city was under stones and it would take years to rebuild.

"Hello, dear viewers. I am your server XXXXX. I'm calling you from the XXXX channel. I'm in the city of XXX right now and as you can see this is the final state of the city. It's really shocking." A female reporter was presenting the news in the helicopter she was in. After her words, she returned to the boulder with the camera.

The helicopter rose to get a wider view and began circling the huge gray-black boulder, taking a wide course to avoid colliding with the other helicopters.

The camera in the cameraman's hand trembled slightly. She almost dropped his camera to his surprise but managed to hold it at the last moment.

Nobody could blame him. The image was reminiscent of a corner of hell, he could feel the heat of the huge boulder in the city center on his face.

The most surprising thing was that it was done by a human. A human like them, made of flesh and blood, was able to create such an unbelievable sight.

It had been a long time since this image had passed the level of All Might. Even in his prime, All Might could not have produced such a thing. Even in the battle with the A.F.O, they only destroyed part of the city.

But right now, before their eyes, it was the image formed after a single person had engulfed the entire city in lava. It was normal for them to be surprised.

"This huge boulder you see was formed by the freezing of lava from an unknown hero's Quirk during the massive battle just minutes ago. We're guessing he/she's a hero because if he/she was a villain, this city could have been wiped out without our knowledge, and unfortunately we don't have a hero to stand up to this villain. That's why we think of him/her as a hero." The reporter continued to present the story with a fervent expression. She grabbed a strand of her hair, which had been blown away by the extreme winds, and placed it behind her ears.

"If you're going to ask how it came about. The huge lava field created by the hero with the Lava Quirk froze with ten glowing cold rays from the sky, and just moments ago the source of the cold rays was cut off, leaving this image behind.''

The woman continued to talk enthusiastically. This was her time to shine. If she could present it well, she could leap the ladder of fame and become the most famous newscaster.

"Where is this place, I can hear you ask, dear viewers. This is where the lava column that anyone can see in the sky is. An incredible battle was going on here. Unfortunately, we do not have footage of that battle."

''But don't worry. Our channel will contact the government and do their best to provide you with images. So continued to follow XXXXX-"

"HEY LOOK AT THIS!" The reporter was interrupted by the cameraman. Without waiting for her to reply, the cameraman turned the camera to the image he was seeing. The reporter clung to the side of the door with one hand and looked down to convey new developments.

All of Japan saw a bit of it tremble from the edges of the gray-black stone chips. ''Accompanied by the sounds of ''BANG!'' ''BANG!'' "BANG!!", the black-gray stone wall trembled and broke every second. The ground was filled with broken volcanic stones.

BANGGGG!!

With a loud noise, the wall shattered. Large volcanic stones fell to the ground. All cameras focused on the broken area. Many large figures emerged from the dust clouds and fell to the ground.

"These are the villain!!!" The villain, who was in the center of all the cameras, jumped down the hole one by one. They emerged from the dust cloud and, after a little progress, sat down on the ground.

"But… why do they look like this?" The female announcer tilted her head. The villains looked very pathetic, unlike those in other cities. Even she, who hated villains to the bone, took pity on them for a moment.

There was a strong reason behind her words. Every villain had skins that had turned into charcoal. There were tears in the corners of their eyes, and it was visible how painful even a short movement was for them. A few pieces of their clothes were left, and all the hair on their bodies, including their hair, was burnt.

Finally seeing a color other than lava and orange-red-yellow, the villains threw themselves to the ground, crying. They ignored the scorching pain and started kissing the floor.

All of Japan saw this scene and displayed strange expressions. The villains were cruel, ruthless, and bloodthirsty. For the past few hours, they had been killing all the people they saw, innocent, child or old, and even the tiniest bit of feelings towards them had turned to dust in the recent events.

But now with this image, they, like the newscaster, began to pity the villain. Of course, it was just emotion, they wouldn't do anything to help them.

"Something is happening again!?" The cameraman changed his target again. Attention was paid to where the cameraman was looking at the announcer. Japan's attention was drawn again.

Were they the villain this time? Or could he be the mysterious hero?

CRACK!

With a cracking sound, the lava broke apart and a hole appeared.

Splosh!

A large amount of lava poured from the hole. Lava suddenly covered the entire floor. Something human-sized fell along with the lava.

"Hiiiiii!" The villain looked at the shard. Seeing the lava, which was their fearful dream and which they could not survive in their lives, once again reminded them of their fear and pain.

But what was frightening and what made them so startled was what came with the lava.

Grg*

Falling on the road floor with the lava, the person raised her hand in front of her head and grasped the ground. Her arm was shaking wildly, starting with her hands.

Tss!!

The area she touched was melting due to her lava skin. Not only was there lava on it but the person's body was also made entirely of lava.

That person was Teka Todoroki, whom the villains would call the devil, and whom they never wanted to see again in their later life.

Teka clenched her hand into a fist. The concrete floor melted like mud and gathered in her palm. Teka leaned on the ground, but her hand sank into the ground due to her lava hand.

Still, she struggled to lift herself. Her body was shaking uncontrollably. Pressurized air was coming out of her mouth and nose even though she wasn't exhaling.

Her skin, unlike the previous time, was bright yellow-red like extremely hot metal. Her pupils had completely disappeared, and her frowning eyebrows revealed a frightening expression.

There was not a single bit of strength left in her body. Her previous attack had taken all the strength she had. Also, the inside of her body felt like it was cooking. The warmth that she couldn't throw away because she hadn't had a chance to rest before had increased exponentially with the domino effect, and now she was as hot as the core of the earth.

Not to mention moving, even living was enough for her to suffer.

Still, she tried to lift herself. She took her hand out of the hole and put it somewhere else. The ground melted once more, she tried to lift her body before the ground melted but failed halfway through and fell to the ground.

She staggered, straightened her posture, and once she started to move forward, she struggled to lift herself when she fell. Keeping her angry expression, she approached the villains step by step. She left a path made of lava in the region she passed, and the ground and the street were melting with the heat it spread.

The bad guys wanted to cry like little kids. Their bodies were shaking wildly. Teka's condition and expression were reminiscent of a demon trying to get out of hell. The devil was coming to devour them.

After some effort, Teka lifted her body. It was difficult for her to stand on her feet. It was difficult to even balance her body, her body was lying to the right and left, but she refused to fall. Stumbling, she walked unsteadily towards the villain.

The villains backed off with Teka's erratic strides. Step and step, step and step, they were almost synchronized with Teka, and they retreated when she took a step.

"Wait a minute…" They stopped a few steps. After looking at Teka's erratic strides, wobbly posture, almost falling with every step, walking towards them without looking at them, and more, they came to a decision.

They could finish her.

So, look at this. She was clearly at her weakest, and the pain she was in was evident by the crumpling of her lava-covered face. If they suddenly attacked, they could finish her and accomplish the mission.

With their newly acquired courage, they stopped their steps and looked at Teka.

The ground melted as Teka took a step, and she began to fall forward, but with one swift movement, she took her foot off the ground and took another step to regain her balance. It was clear that she was too bad to even control her Quirk.

"Perfect moment…" This was the perfect moment to attack her. If they cooperated with the villains who had cold Quirks, they could kill the tigress.

Tak!

Heels sounded, and Teka took a step forward.

This time, however, they did not take a step back. On the contrary, they took a step forward. Smiles, shining with murderous intent, blossomed on their faces.

Tak!

Teka stepped forward.

They stepped forward on the Teka.

Teka!

One more step.

And one more step.

They were getting closer to each other. Maybe Teka noticed they were coming to her senses, or she didn't. It was impossible to say. But when they were only eight feet apart, she stopped.

Her hands turned into fists. She lifted her head, her parted lips visible as she was clenching her teeth. Her face was burning with killing intent. Her pupilless white eyes were covered with abstract flames. Her whole body glowed with a yellow color. [EN: Berserker Guts rage moment but with his mouth shut.]

"Kill!!..." She threw aside her not-kill plan all this time. There were 73 bad guys in front of her and she decided to kill each of them. She was only one step away from escaping death, her dance with Mr. Death on a paper-thin bridge would come to an end and he would reach the end of the bridge and escape.

And they had to die for it. They would die and she saved them. She would kill them and get out of here and see her family once again. She would see her grandchildren, talk to her daughter-in-law, and joke with the girls. She would hug the man she loved.

To the white-haired man.

So, die!

Teka raised her hand. The world has lost its color. There was only a red-yellow color in the eyes of the people of Japan and the villains. The color that will lead the villain to death.

"Ghhh!!!" Teka groaned for the first time since the beginning of the battle. Yes, she groaned. Because she couldn't hold back the pain anymore.

Have you touched or felt the heat of any lava? Do you know how compressed temperature it has and is caustic?

Teka knew. She was immersed in lava every moment of her life, so she knew how devastating heat lava could hold. Her lava, in particular, was so hot that no one wanted to touch it.

However, it was the first time she felt the warmth of this lava in her internal organs. Her internal organs, every one of them, were scorching, and she was in excruciating pain. Her internal organs were trembling, some of them as yellow as her skin.

Normally she should have stopped using her Quirk in this situation. If she continued, some of her internal organs could turn to liquid.

And unlike Teka's hand, she could not renew it. It was difficult for her to regenerate body parts such as her hand with lava while creating an organ out of lava was impossible for her. Once she lost her organs, she was losing them completely.

And right now she was losing not just one, but many at once. The only way out for her was a brutal death.

Still, she would take the gamble and use her power to kill them. Then she would be reunited with her loved ones.

Yes, she would do that.

The villain panicked for a moment. Teka had plenty of opportunities to kill them from the start, but she didn't. They were confused at first. She mercilessly killed the Nomu but did not touch them.

She was so careful not to kill them that when they were trapped deep in the lava, Giganto melted, but nothing happened to them.

But this time it was different. Teka's furious expression burned with murderous intent. This time they felt that they could die. And they could see that it was a deadly attack, a mutual loss-loss attack.

Bzztt!

As the two sides were in a desperate situation, a small voice was heard. It sounded like electricity or lightning. If it was just an electric sound, no one would care. As a result, the city was leveled and broken utility poles, vehicles, etc. Tools were everywhere. This electric noise could be heard anywhere.

However, what happened the next moment surprised everyone, including Teka.

Grab* Hug*

Two strong arms clung to Teka at the cost of burning. The Lava, which melted even asphalt and stone, fearlessly hugged the skin and pulled it towards him as if it were his most important thing. Reliably strong arms wrapped around her waist, explosive muscles pressed against her soft skin.

Jumping into action and possible death, Teka was shaken when she felt the secure arms surrounding her. She was ready to take action even if everyone she loved hated her, but she was stunned by the arms surrounding her.

Her movements froze. Eyelids closed and opened. She knew these arms. She knew them very well, and in the sinful night, these arms had carved themselves into her body and could not be forgotten for the rest of her life.

And those arms were wrapping around her right now. They were clearly on fire. His skin instantly turned to ash, and his flesh was burning as even the blood evaporated. Despite all this, he hugged her with no intention of letting go.

"L-Let me g-" She tried to speak in a trembling voice. Her posture was like a statue, not moving an inch.

Pat!

However, her words were stopped by the person behind her. He closed her eyes with his hands and pulled her head himself. Her head rested on his shoulder.

TSSSS!

With it, her hair and lava body also leaned against him. Teka could feel the clothes burning on his chest, and the flesh scalding beneath it. She tried anxiously to control her Quirk.

"Come on... come on... COME ON!!" She tried, tried, and tried. However, she failed. For the first time in her life, she had lost control of her Quirk. She was so tired, exhausted, devastated, and under pressure that her brain was taking control, preventing her from using Quirk.

But she should have done it. She should have controlled her Quirk and turned off the heat. Otherwise, the secure arms that surrounded her and the chest she was leaning on would have turned to ashes.

"Shhhhhhhh*" In her thoughts, the person behind her whispered in her ears. He ran her fingers through her hair and tucked her face-falling lava hair behind her ears. He burned his finger for this cause, after doing so he brought his lips close to his ear and whispered. His voice was calm and pain-free as if he couldn't feel his burning body.

''You did a great job. You made me proud. You can leave the rest to me. I will handle everything for you. My Beloved Teka."
