A large explosion rang out as the building began to shake. Tobio tore down a wall leading outside which everyone jumped out of. I waited for everyone to jump out before creating four clones. Two clones transformed into crows that flew into the air that would be my eyes and ears for things like sneak attacks or what may be happening around me that I would like to know.
The last two turned into long snakes that wrapped around me, from my waist to my arms under my clothing. They provided extra protection and support when I fought. Finally ready to leave, I jumped out and landed on a battlefield. Fresh bodies laid on the ground which painted the ground red. I saw the faction leaders fighting people I didn't know but were clearly dominating.
I saw that my Generals were either fighting alongside my army or fighting individual people I didn't know. The MHA team was handling themselves well killing enemies at the dozen. I then saw Dai fighting Vali but it was obvious that Vali was winning. It did make sense since Dai didn't spend as much time mastering his gear.
Much of the fighting happened in the air, but there were many ground battles. I was looking for a team in particular and I found them not too far from Vali. They just began ganging up on Tiamat and Yasaka. ' Wait, didn't they do something to Yasaka in the show? Ahh, it doesn't matter. ' I thought as I began to run to their location. When I arrived, I saw who I thought was Georg shoot a large fireball at Yasaka from a blind spot while she was defending from Cao Cao.
I teleported right in front of the fireball at an angle where no one could see me. I then created an ice wall which took the full attack. The contact made steam erupt and fill the area. A strong gust of wind blew the air away, most likely created by magic. ' I should really begin learning magic. The utility alone is worth it. ' I thought while slowly walking out of a small cloud of steam that was conveniently there with my hand in my pockets.
" Tsk, tsk. Haven't you ever been taught to never attack a lady? Such beauties as well." I said while shaking my head in disappointment. That brought all eyes to me. " Jasi senpai, to risk your life like that. You must really love me." Yasaka said with mirth. I just sighed at her antics. " I thought I told you never to use that nickname." I said letting out another sigh. She just gave me a smirk in response.
Forgetting her, I looked at the group who were still staring at us with mixed expressions. " I'm a friendly guy, so I'll offer you guys the chance to leave now or die." I said with my lazy smile. Seeing them getting ready to fight, I began stretching before giving them the go-ahead to attack. A blonde girl in armour carrying a sword ran to me aiming to thrust.
I didn't move until she was about to pierce me, only to easily dodge thanks to my acceleration quirk. I then made the floor she was standing on ice. As she was slipping, I kicked the girl in the side of her ribs which made a cracking sound and sent her flying. Who I believe was Georg, sent streams of different projectile attacks toward me, but I just bobbed and weaved out of the way. A guy with brown hair equipped with a sword and shield zoomed toward me.
I was preparing to dodge to the side but the brunette adjusted to my movements. " Oh, a fast one." I said with a smile. I took out a sword from my inventory full of crap and parried the guy's attack. We then began clashing swords but I was losing as I didn't have as much experience with swordsmanship. While fighting, I got a message in my head telling me the blonde girl was attacking from behind me.
Using telekinesis to push the brunette forward in one of his attacks making him overextend his attack, I pulled the brunette to the front of me. At that exact time, the blonde girl thrust her sword forward, right into the brunette's gut. I saw them both look at each other in shock which I took advantage of by grabbing the back of the brunette's head and using my decay quirk.
The blonde girl too focused on her friend dying did not see the dozen grenades rolling toward her until too late. They blew up and sent her flying into the air. I took a look at my Generals and Tiamat seemed to be doing fine while Yasaka who was facing Cao Cao wasn't doing as fine. I decided to assist her so I teleported behind the guy and slashed aiming to decapitate him. Somehow, he managed to dodge my attack and made some distance between us.
" How are you holding up?" I ask. " Much better now that my knight in shining armour is here." Yasaka said with a smile that had a mix of amusement and appreciation. " I'll handle the boy scout here, help Tiamat and be careful. These guys are hiding dangerous weapons like that guy there." I said while subtly gesturing to Georg. " Has a sacred gear that can create a mist that would block attacks and take people to a pocket dimension." said with seriousness.
Yasaka nodded before taking off to Tiamat. " Hello there, Cao Cao if I'm not mistaken." I say taking a relaxed stance. " And who might you be?" Cao Cao asked. " Just a fellow human." I said with my signature smile. Cao Cao raised his eyebrows before inspecting me and then speaking. " As humans, should we not work together? Take care of these beings who threaten our race. Those who kill humans every day and treat them like trash? Why not join me? Join in taking back our planet from these foul creatures." Cao Cao said with a determined look on his face.
" Cao Cao, what your trying to do is never going to happen. Whether we like it or not, the supernatural species of the world will forever be with us. What you are doing is only going to lead you to a faster death. You're trying to perform surgery with a hammer instead of a scalpel. Not all supernatural beings threaten humanity nor do all members of a species that does threaten humanity want to hurt humans. Instead of senselessly killing everyone, why not integrate them? Show them the wrongs in their actions. Only those who choose not to deserve to die. That is what I am doing. Which is why I ask you to change your ways. To join me. In ridding this world of all the foul creatures that don't want to change and help those who can change." I say with my own determined look.
' I didn't really care about all of that but having Cao Cao on my side would be a huge boon. Plus, I'm not opposed to enacting some changes to ensure his loyalty. ' I thought. We both just stared at each other for a minute before Cao Cao spoke. " I'm sorry but I cannot change my methods. I was destined for this path and I cannot change it. What you are doing is admirable but it will not work." Cao Cao said. " It will, just take a look." I said while pointing at my army. He turned to look in the direction I pointed.
My army was valiantly fighting hard together. Vampire saving Youkai, what I thought was a birdman saved an elf. A fallen and human fighting side by side. " Humans and supernatural beings fighting side by side. This is what we could achieve worldwide instead of fighting. Supernatural beings are not evil nor do they all want death. Even if you are not totally convinced, I ask you to take a chance. Try it out. At least you can say for sure that such a thing cannot work if it doesn't then guestimating." I say while looking into Cao Cao's eyes.
I could see the cogs moving in Cao Cao's head as he looks back at my army fighting." One chance. Just one." I say. I could see his inner conflict between his destiny and heritage versus his curiosity and intrigue. After a deep sigh, he spoke up. " I cannot change my destiny. This is something I must do." he said with conviction.
I sighed before taking a stance with my sword while Cao Cao did the same with his spear. At an incredible speed, Cao Cao appeared in front of me and thrust his spear at my head. I ducked down and brought my hands together like a Kamehameha to shoot a huge stream of fire blasting far into the sky killing many enemy units and some friendly ones but luckily none from my army.
A message to roll forward hit my mind which I followed. When I took a look behind me, Cao Cao had his spear in the ground at my previous location. Taking advantage of this, I teleported above him and threw most of my grenades in my inventory which was at least over fifty, unpinned one and teleported as far away as I could.
A massive explosion rang out across the battlefield making everyone look in its direction. I took time to examine the battlefield. That's when I noticed monsters appearing out of nowhere which made me smile. 'Annihilation maker' I thought. This is the gear I wanted. I created some clones to search for the wielder.
While quickly examining the battlefield, I noticed how beaten up Dai was looking. I decided to make a clone to help him fight or escape. I finally looked back at the explosion site which was on fire. A figure walked out of the fire. When I took a closer look, it was the menace himself, Cao Cao who was burnt and bruised with no clothing from the waist up and he did not look happy. While inspecting the guy, I saw a halo behind him and seven light orbs around him. When he saw me, an immense fury took his face. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of me and began attacking at groundbreaking speeds.
I parried and dodged most of his attacks working my acceleration quirk hard doing so but I was easily being pushed back. The one's that hit me were only grazes. He suddenly tried to sweep my feet which I jumped out of the way of but a sudden attack hit me mid-air and sent me flying high into the sky. I used my telekinesis to stabilize myself. I immediately noticed how I was still in the air when I shouldn't be, which made me look toward Cao Cao who was making his spear absorb those light orbs.
He then teleported in front of me and aimed to pierce my heart but I moved to the side making it stab into my shoulder. I grabbed onto the spear and pulled it bringing Cao Cao closer. I extended my unoccupied hand out and the snake clone on that arm shot out and bit into Cao Cao's left cheek. Cao Cao ripped it off of him and threw it down. The snake clone had ripped a part of Cao Cao's cheek and I could see it slowly decaying. Cao Cao, seeing or feeling it decaying, sliced off the decaying parts with the spear he ripped from my grasp stopping the spread.
I teleported dozens of meters away to use my therianthrope quirk to grow black and white crow wings for style and to help in maneuvering in the sky. " Why are you so upset destiny boy? Did I do something to anger you?" I taunted. " You shall regret messing with me." he said in response. I teleported in front of him and said "stop moving" using my brainwashing quirk. For a second, he stopped moving but regained his senses immediately after. Though that stop allowed me to cut him before he kicked me away.
I smiled at Cao Cao before licking his blood from my sword. He immediately froze up and began falling. Taking this chance, I teleported onto his back and bit into his neck allowing me to drink his blood keeping him paralyzed for way longer. I then activated my decay quirk and plunged my sword into his neck for extra measure, planting a grenade on the back of his neck and teleporting away.
An explosion sounded out as I got to a safe distance and flew in the air watching Cao Cao fall. ' I did it! I beat the strongest human. Granted, it's only because he didn't know my powers, some cheap tricks and the acceleration quirk being op but that doesn't matter.' I thought with a grin. I took a look around and noticed how all eyes were on either me or Cao Cao. I gave a toothy grin at everyone and I saw some shiver while others vomited. ' That's just rude' I thought but I didn't blame them as my mouth was covered in blood and it must have looked quite scary and disgusting to some. I did notice how the vampires were looking at me with smiles and admiration while Shalltear was looking at me with ecstasy.
I didn't know how to feel about that so I instead decided to give an impromptu speech. " They think they can mess with us and get away with it. No, I think not. We shall slaughter them all for even thinking they could touch us. Let's show them HOW HUGE OF A MISTAKE THEY MADE!" I shout. Cheers and roars rang out as all my allies and subordinates began attacking with new vigour while the enemy began retreating.
I saw Georg pick up Cao Cao's body and spear but I teleported behind him and ripped the spear from his hand before teleporting to my Generals. I gave the spear to Cocytus before sprinting and teleporting around knocking out people my clones saw using sacred gears. I then took their bodies to my faction so we could take them. Unfortunately, the user of annihilation maker got away but all in all, I was happy.
