Caulifla remained silent and frozen. Destroyer growled in annoyance. Looking at the same person, they saw Kale still standing between them. Breathing with difficulty, the poor saiyan had a hand resting on her hole in the abdomen. However, what caught the attention of both fighters was how his hair was green again while his height had increased by a few inches.

Yet compared to before, Kale now had a much leaner body, while her eyes featured pupils.

" Ka… Kale ? " Caulifla wondered.

Turning to her, her friend was silent. However, she ends up smiling.

" Sis'! I succeeded ! "

At that moment, Destroyer concentrated more power in his hands, before creating another surging wave. Turning instantly, Kale looked serious again, before creating two green energy spheres in her hands. Then, let out a war cry, she created two crashing waves that hit the Destroyer attack.

Matching each other, the two attacks created a shock wave, which was recoiled. Yet, managing to keep her eyes open, she ends up seeing Kale's double attack push back the breaking wave of NT Destroyer.

Roaring, the latter increased the aura around him, as well as his energy. Yet he only delayed the inevitable, as Kale's might surpassed his own.

" It's for hurting Sis'. " She cried.

Eventually, his double attack hit Destroyer's body, causing him to scream in pain. Unable to stay put, he ends up being thrown back. Passing through several boulders, he eventually coughed up blood, while several parts of his body found themselves pulverized.

Then it crashed to the ground, not far from where Kurome had fallen after Hit knocked him to the ground.

" Destroyer ? " She wondered.

In front of them, Kale stared at them. Yet she remained still, as she still breathed with difficulty. She felt far too weak to continue fighting. Still, she had to, if she wanted to protect Caulifla.

"Can she control herself now?" Kurome wondered.

Hearing a growl, the girl suddenly saw Destroyer rise to his feet. Besides the arm that Berseck Kale had ripped off, it now lacked a horn on the demon's head, its entire left shoulder, and the tip of its tail. Several streaks of blood ran down his face, as the veins of anger gradually appeared.

Seeing him take a step forward, Kurome was afraid. She was afraid that Destroyer would let his anger dominate him and eventually kill Kale.

" Destroyer! We leave ! "

Too late. The demon was running towards Kale and aimed its good fist at her face. Unable to stand any longer, Kale lost his new transformation and dropped to the ground. Getting ready to strike her, Destroyer saw someone position themselves in front of him.

Having grabbed Kale before she fell to the ground, Caulifla was surprised to see Hit, in front of them, holding Destroyer's fist in his hand.

" Good job, Kale. " Cried the assassin. " As for you, I think it's time to finish you. "

Then suddenly Hit disappeared and walked behind Destroyer. Putting his hands back in his pockets, the killer then left, while Destroyer remained motionless. Finally, a trace of impact formed in the pit of his stomach. Feeling the force of a punch, Destroyer spat more blood. Unfortunately for him, it was only the first attack in a series of hundreds of punches. Having stopped time, Hit had had time to hit it a hundred times and Destroyer was unable to cope.

Being punched again and again, the demon felt his feet slip back. Her body was so battered that all of her bones broke as her muscles and organs exploded one after the other.

When the last punch was given, Destroyer's body was right in front of the void. Despite the state of his body Destroyer was still standing. Unfortunately, directing her hand towards him, Caulifla decided to avenge all the evil the demon had done to Kale. Creating a ki-blast, she attacked Destroyer, who couldn't resist the shock of the impact.

His body fell out of the void. Opening his mouth, to say nothing, Ro saw the demon appear next to him, as his blood trickled down the steps of the stands.

" N ... NT ... Destroyer ... He lost ? "

" Lucky for us that he was considered Kurome's weapon. " Sidra remarked. " However, that means that the only bonus we have left is Koro. "

Sighing, he looked down at his former student, before noticing.

" In two hundred years, you haven't changed at all! Nevertheless, you did a good job, NT Destroyer. "

The demon, half unconscious, did not answer him.


For his part, having seen Destroyer leave the field, Kurome began to run. No longer having her sword and her dolls, the young girl had become an easy target. His only option was to hide somewhere and stay until the end, avoiding fighting.

Unfortunately, standing in front of her, Hit stared at her with a hard gaze, causing the girl to stop. Taking a step back, Kurome felt her foot sink into the void as she stood at the edge of the pitch. She was close to elimination.

" You lost. "

Not seeing any of his comrades who could help him, Kurome could only lower his gaze.

" Yes, you're right. "

Still, putting herself in a boxing stance, she cried out.

" In this case, I have nothing more to lose! Even without a weapon, I am still able to fight. "

With a simple sigh, Hit followed suit. Then they ran towards each other. Attempting to strike first, Kurome felt his fist strike the void. Then, the pupils of his eyes disappeared, as his eyes rolled back. Not even needing to stop time, Hit dodged the girl's fist and then slapped her stomach hard.

The force of the blows managed to make her lose consciousness. Kurome's body flew backwards and eventually sank into the void, before appearing alongside NT Destroyer.

" Kurome-san is eliminated. "


" Hahaha! Good job, Hit! Congratulated him Champa! Universe 6 is invincible! "

" There is unfortunately a problem. " Rota remarked.

Unfortunately for him, Champa grabbed him by the neck, before screaming.

" Did you stop with your damn comments? You annoy me. "

" He is right, Champa-sama. " Vados remarked. " They might have won, the fact remains that Caulifla-san and Kale-san are now exhausted! Since Pirina and Saonel have merged, we only have three able-bodied warriors left. "


Indeed, trying to help each other stand, Caulifla and Kale winced in pain as their wounds kept them from being able to continue fighting.

Hearing a noise behind them, they then saw Tatsumi and Wave. They too injured, the two boys tried their teigus in their hands.

" Sorry to attack you in your state, but we must win. "

" I must avenge Kurome-chan. " Wave asserted.

Running then, the two boys rushed towards the girls. However, positioning himself in front of them, Cabba managed to grab hold of their wrists, to stop them. Then, lifting his foot, he kicked Tatsumi with his knee, to push him back. Then the saiyan bent his elbow before sending it into Wave's breastbone. With a strangled cry, the boy stepped back like his sidekick.

Seeing this, Cabba ordered.

" Caulifla-san! Kale-san! Go away ! "

" Cabba ? "

" I take care of them. " Assured the saiyan.

Returning to the attack, Tatsumi and Wave attempted to hit him with their teigu, forcing their opponent to go on the defensive. Seeing him manage to hold them back, so they could escape, Caulifla finally nodded. Starting to leave, while taking Kale with her, the saiyan could not help but assert.

" You look like a man, Cabba. "

" I have always been. " The boy retorted, putting a confident smile on his face.


Not caring about their fight, Esdeath was on top of a rock, watching Hit, still standing in front of the void. Wanting to fight against him again, the young woman was about to attack him. However, hearing footsteps behind her, the young woman turned in an instant and aimed her ice sword against a tall figure. Nonetheless, she stopped dead, recognizing Budo's face.

" Don't do anything stupid. " Ordered the former general.

" What do you want ? " Esdeath questioned. " I'm busy. "

" Leave this man alone. " Budo advised him. " He is much stronger than you. "

" What did you say ? " Esdeath got on his nerves.

" It is time for you to rest a little! Your MAHAPADMA requires a lot of energy from you with each use! If you keep fighting this man, using this technique so much, you will end up losing. "

" Tsss ! There is no way I can lose to someone! And even if it did, I will fight it over and over again! And during this fight, I was improving! This is the difference between a weak and a strong. "

" You are not immortal, Esdeath! Far from there ! And our team is not the most powerful either! If we are to have any chance of winning, we are forced to take a break and let the other teams tackle each other. "

" Pfff! You have really become a coward in hell. "

" No ! My stay in hell has made me mature! Something that you apparently did not have the good fortune to know. "

Smiling playfully, Esdeath suddenly left.

" You are right ! Let them fight! Let the other teams believe they have a chance to win! Once their hope is at its height, I will attack them! I can't wait to see their horrified faces, once they find out that their victory will be impossible. "


" METEOR ! "

Covering himself with an aura of golden light, Jellal began to fly all around several cliffs, while skirting Blast and Saiatama. Being on his knees, the bald hero was breathing with difficulty. Despite Cobra's elimination, the man's poison was still working, and despite its power, Saitama had no defense against poisoning. It was lucky for Jellal. He wasn't going to miss the opportunity to bring out Universe 4's most powerful warrior.

Finally heading towards Saitama, he pretended to shoot him down. However, a wall of ice materialized in front of him, as Blast protected his comrade.

" I was really lucky to cross paths with kids from universe 12. " Remarked the hero. " Between them, they brought together a dozen different powers. "

Then directing his hand towards Jellal, he created a spiraling shock wave. Dodging it, Jellal jumped up a rock and formed several luminous spheres in the sky.

" GRAND CHARIOT ! "

A huge column of light crashed onto the ground, pulverizing the rocks and the ground. Seeing the attack rush at him, Blast grabbed Saitama's arm, before multiplying the power of his legs.

" ALL FOR ONE ! "

Making a quick start, Blast ran so fast he managed to get out of the area where the column of light crashed. Caught up by the shock wave from the impact, however, Blast felt his body lift. Then landing heavily on the ground, he whimpered a little, as Saitama's body crushed him.

" Don't bother you. "

" Sorry. " The bald man muttered, however unable to move. " Don't you have a healing spell ? "

" No ! Despite all the powers I have stolen, I have nothing that could look like it! In fact, the only person who could help you is the child of Universe 10. "

Thinking about it, Blast noticed.

" I doubt she wants to help us! Still, I could heal you if I steal his power! The problem is, I have to remove the powers of the first person I stole them from! That is to say the power of the kid with explosives. "

" Do it ! It can always be used to heal your comrades. "

" You don't lack nerve! It's a strategy to steal the right powers to win. "

" Cure me and I'll beat all these guys. " Saitama assured.

At that moment, Blast saw Jellal flying towards them, before creating six lines of light that moved towards them. Once again forming an ice shield, Blast blocked Jellal's attack. Nevertheless, the fire of lights succeeded in destroying his protection. Taking advantage, Jellal used METEOR to rush towards Blast. Finding himself in front of him, he closed his fist before punching Blast in the face. Nonetheless, his fist went through the hero's head, without hurting him the least.

" What … ? "

" What superb power. " Blast asserted. " This kid… Midoriya… growing up, he could have become the next hero number 1 in universe 4. "

Counterattacking then, he hit Jellal in the chin and created a powerful explosion that sent the man flying backwards. Feeling his teeth chatter and his head spinning, Jellal then cried out in pain as an electric spear pierced him.

Smiling as he saw his attacks follow one after the other without a hitch, Blast asserted.

" Perfect ! I am able to harness each of these new powers! Only this one remains…! ALL FOR ONE, MAX POWER ! "

Managing to regain his balance and using his powers to float in the air, Jellal suddenly created five huge balls of light in the sky. For his part, Blast made a lot of blue flashes appear around him, as his muscle strength grew.

Being running not far from them, Midoriya suddenly stopped, recognizing the man who had copied his powers.

" Him ? "

Then he saw Jellal and the five spheres of light. If the mage's attack ever managed to defeat Blast, it was obvious that Saitama would be affected by the attack as well.

And given the state he was in, Saitama certainly couldn't resist the attack.

Suddenly jumping, Blast walked over to Jellal, while using Bakugo's explosions, to fly. Seeing him heading like this, Jellal raised an arm, so a ray of light came out of the five giant spheres and headed towards Blast.

" LIGHT ARMAGEDDON ! "

Seeing the five energy beams rushing at him, Blast covered both arms with a thick layer of ice, before crossing them in front of him. The attack hit him immediately, already starting to destroy his protection, while pushing him back. Still, he managed to create spiral-shaped shockwaves at his feet, to force him to stay put. He even managed to advance through the attack.

" Impossible. " Cried Jellal. " You are unable to face my power. "

Indeed. Half of the protection on his arms was already gone, while the rest of his body was already starting to be damaged. Moaning in pain, Blast still focused his energy on his feet to allow him to continue his progress through the attack.

" Are you crazy ? " Jellal asked him. " You will die if you continue like this! Give up before it's too late. "

" Dying, you say? Fool! If I give up and let you eliminate Saitama, then I have a good chance of dying at the end of this tournament! Either way, if it's to protect my people, I'm not afraid of facing death. "

Now only a few yards from Jellal, Blast positioned both arms back. Now feeling the powerful attack hit his face full force, Blast let out a real cry of pain.

" I… I… I am the number 1 hero of my world! And a real hero must always face his opponent, without being afraid of falling! That's a hero! He is a being who protects his own, even if that must force him to fight against an entire universe! AHHHHHHHHH! "

Suddenly, he managed to create two explosions at his hands, which managed to increase his speed. In an instant, he finally managed to pull himself out of Jellal's attack and found himself in front of him, fist back. Despite the injuries… Despite the pain, burns and blood lost… Blast was facing Jellal, and having enough strength to give him the nod.

" ALL FOR ONE ! "

" It's impossible ! "

" STRONGEST HERO … ! "

" Unbelievable. " Midoriya whispered, seeing him do it.

" PUNCH ! "

Hit in the face, Jellal was immediately knocked unconscious. Remaining motionless at first, the mage's body suddenly ends up falling straight towards the field. Crashing with force, he disappeared into a hole that formed and sank into the depths of the arena. Finally, a popping sound was heard at the bottom of the arena, as Jellal had walked through the arena from top to bottom, now falling into the depths of the void.

Mouths agape, the deities of Universe 10 then saw Jellal appear in the stands, face and the rest of the body in poor condition and covered in blood.

"Did he… beat Jellal-san in one fell swoop?" Gowasu wondered.

" This damn universe 4. " Rumsshi growled.

For her part, Quitela heaved a sigh of relief. He had been afraid that a loss for Blast would also mean that for Saitama. Lucky for him, he had underestimated the power of his warrior.

" We are save. "

" Unfortunately, the situation is problematic. " Kuru remarked. " Saitama is still down and Blast has lost lost a lot of power while fighting Jellal. "


Indeed. As soon as Blast put his foot down, he felt the muscles all over his body tighten again, making her cry out in pain. He felt like they were about to burst.

ALL-FOR-ONE was truly a power he had the greatest difficulty in harnessing. Not to mention that dealing with Jellal's attack had severely damaged him. Gritting his teeth, Blast however, ended up running towards Saitama, put him on his back, and then ran to find someone.

" The kid from universe 10! I must find her and steal her power. "

Having seen Blast's determination in the face of danger, the boy could only have been impressed. The heroes of Universe 4 and 11 were truly role models for the child. They were of the same caliber as All Might.

" Jiren-san and Saitama-san… but also Toppo-san and Blast-san! I really want to fight them! I want to compete with them! I want to know if I am fit to be the greatest hero! Yes, for that I must show my power to everyone. "

Hearing noises behind her back, Midoriya turned to see Bang and Toriko fighting each other.
