The Shadow Monarch Izuku Midoriya

Ch 3: Origins Part 3

"Talk"

'Thought'

[???]

And so everyone bowed towards the statue and for a few seconds someone said, "Are we gonna live!"

After him someone said, "I don't wanna die please!"

As Izuku looked at the statue it didn't have red eyes but a devious smile! As all the heroes looked at it they became filled with fear but the eyes became the colour of stone again.

Izuku thought, 'I was right... But there are two more.'

Song said, "How did you know to bow?"

Izuku said, "The commandments! Praise the lord is the next one!"

As he said that it was then as the whole temple started to rumble as the entire chamber began to shake.

Someone yelled, "What.... what the hell!! It wasn't over yet?! This, this can't be!!"

None of them could guess what they wanted to say. Despair rapidly dyed their expressions. Soon, the god statue completely stood up from the throne. The statue swept its gaze around once, and began walking towards the Heroes.

THUD!!

Every time the god statue stepped on the ground, the whole world seemed to shake.

THUD!!

It was so tall that its head was almost scraping against the chamber's indescribably high ceiling.

THUD!!

Even when the Heroes were overwhelmed by the statue's sheer size, the thing was gradually closing its distance to them.

"Midoriya!! Midoriya!!"

Someone said, "What can we do??" The Heroes who were cussing at Izuku only a short while ago hurriedly began crowding around him. (When someone found the right door in fall guys i know dead meme but its true.)

Someone asked, "Is there a way out of this? Say something!!"

All these adults were forming tearful expressions as if they'd start breaking down in sobs and wails very soon. Currently, Izuku was their only hope.

Izuku helped the frozen-stiff Juhui up from the ground and began talking about the second law.

Izuku told them, "Praise the lord. That's the key."

Song then said, "Wait, isn't that...?! Isn't that what's written on the slate?"

Izuku said, "Correct. Worship the god. Exalt the god. And finally, prove your piety. We need to satisfy all three laws." Izuku began speaking faster and faster. Why? The god statue was already a stone's throw away from them.

THUD!!

Everyone's complexion paled as the gigantic shadow loomed over them.

A young man said, "Let, let me try something." A young male Heroes who usually kept to himself suddenly took a step forward.

Someone said, "What the?! What are you trying to do?"

The man said, "I've been in a church choir. I'm confident if it's about 'Praise' something."

As he started to 'praise' Izuku thought, 'This... this is wrong.'

The chamber featured its own set of rules. But the young Hero was 'praising' the god statue with the 'rule' of Christianity, not with the rules of this chamber. Thankfully, the statue wasn't moving – but, could singing that hymn qualify as upholding the rules? Izuku shook his head. The only reason why he didn't say anything was solely because he couldn't think of a better way to stop the god statue himself. It was right then!
