Ecstatic!
That was the best way to describe how Tomura felt. After ripping apart that vestige of his former master and finally taking back control of his body he was now locked in a vicious battle with his arch-nemesis, Izuku Midoriya (aka Deku), with the fate of the world at stake.
There were several outcomes Shigaraki predicted would happen: he would reach the ground and spread his decay killing everyone and everything except his friends; Midoriya would stop him by killing him; or both would die in the process. Whatever the case, someone would die. Shigaraki did not mind though. If he could take as much as possible with him; and make as many people feel the same misery he felt all his life, then he could go to Hell happy.
Eraserhead, no longer the cool hero he believed, and the Copycat NPC had been a problem. But once Dabi got rid of them he made quick and full use of his quirks, which led to his battle with Midoriya as they fell through the sky.
Even more when flames consumed him, Shigaraki finally broke free of his mental chains.
Unlike many others, Shigaraki could withstand the flames and even flourished in them. He relished in the pain as it gave him a sense of clarity. He supposed that made him an oddball compared to everyone else but who cared? It was his show and his life. He could do whatever he wanted.
The flames blinded Midoriya from him and vice versa. Kurogiri (oh how he had missed him, and also wished he'd appreciated more) kept summoning portals to block Midoriya and keep him distracted. Not wanting to let his caretaker and friend's efforts go to waste. Shigaraki shot straight downward towards the ground hand outstretched.
No one could see him. Not Midoriya, not Eraser, not that damn Sniper. That meant no one could stop him.
Maximising his speed and using several quirks he propelled himself downward. Midoriya was still behind him, but he was too far away to matter.
CRASH!
Shigaraki collided with the ground, all ten fingers touching it perfectly. With all his rage, hate, and willpower he activated his quirk.
Decay began to spread quickly throughout the land at a speed far succeeding his battle at Jaku City.
"Let it all be destroyed!"
Across Japan
In the span of seconds, a calamity made its way across the nation destroying both property and people.
Buildings crumbled to dust.
Civilians who had refused the aid of heroes barely had time to process what was happening before they turned to dust.
Hero schools that didn't have the defences UA and Shiketsu did.
There was nothing left of anyone or anything.
There was no trace that they had ever existed.
And whatever was left was swept away by the winds.
The UA shelters weren't any safer either. Thanks to Skeptic breaking through the system several shelters were brought up.
Shelters that had the misfortune of being close enough to Shigaraki were eradicated in an instant. Families and friends alike who were seeking refuge fell victim to the chaos.
And UA, the most prestigious hero school in the country was wiped off the face of the earth.
With Shigaraki
"Hahahahahahahahahaha!" Shigaraki laughed like a madman (which in fairness he was).
This was it! This was everything he wanted!
His pain!
His despair!
His misery!
His anger!
Everything that made him what he was, everything that gave birth to that house, it was all being destroyed.
He had no regrets! No remorse!
It was everything he wanted!
His decay would kill everything he didn't like with only the League, his friends, being spared his wrath. If he had one regret, it's that most of them would not be here to witness it.
Spinner, Kurogiri, Himiko, Twice, Compress, Dabi, and Magne. His friends. Everything he hated would be destroyed. But those that remained, the only ones he didn't hate, they would survive.
Even so, he was happy.

While wrapped up in his destruction, a finally freed and badly burnt Midoriya dived straight towards him. With what had just happened, whatever desire he had to save Shigaraki ended as he maxed out OFA.
Focusing all his power into his fist, he aimed straight at Tomura Shigaraki's head.
"Gearshift: Overdrive!"
Hi there! Well, what did you think of that?
Short chapter this time, but I think the events spoke for themselves.
My Hero Academia is steadily reaching its conclusion. I'm guessing it'll end just before 2024 or in the early days of it. While I'm sad it is finishing, I'm interested to see how it all ends.
Hope you enjoyed reading! Please review!
