Chapter 80: Awakened, Demon Prince

┏─┉┈◈◉◈┈┉─┓

The World I Once Dreamt Of Closes

┗━━━━ ━━━━┛

Inside of Tomioka Y/n's subconscious realm, there lies a hidden throne inside the chains. Y/n continue to lower himself into the vortex of chains. With his Spiritual core destroyed, he had no will and died intestate.

Fleeting echoes of past voices drifted through the emptiness.

"No one needs you anymore."

"Even if you disappeared, the world would carry on unchanged."

Cruel, haunting words that had rooted themselves deep within him. Words he had come to believe.

From the shadows, they emerged. An identical silhouette, Y/n's body, but corrupted. A smile that perfectly mirrored his own, warped into cruelty.

They watched Y/n fall, amusement twisting their expression.

"How foolish. To think you really go that far on attempting to end your life just to delay me."

They stepped forward, chains rattling as the entire realm shivered at their presence.

"Did you really think buying time would help them?" Their grin widened, sharp and knowing. "Those heroes or anyone out there could stop what's coming?"

They crouched at the edge of the vortex.

"All you managed was to slow the inevitable."

With a final, mocking smirk, they allowed their body to melt into the in.

"Delay me all you want, Y/n. But you cannot stop me... Our throne is waiting."

"Hold it! What the hell are you doing?!" Aizawa snapped, struggling against Present Mic, who held him back with a firm grip.

Across the field, armed police escorted Y/n's body toward a reinforced transport unit, his limbs tightly bound in Quirk-restraining restraints. Cold metal shackles clicked into place as officers prepared to transfer him to the Maiden Cell

"Tsukauchi-san. What did you just said?" Hawks asked. 

"They wanted to turn Tomioka to the Tartarus." Tsukauchi said.

"Tartarus?!" Midnight's voice cracked in disbelief. "You can't be serious! He's just a kid!"

Shock rippled through the gathered UA faculty. Cementoss clenched his fists. Snipe turned away, unable to look. Powerloader muttered a curse under his breath.

"I'm sorry," Tsukauchi said, his tone heavy. "But the decision isn't ours. Tomioka Y/n is now officially classified as a national threat. The entire country saw what happened."

"They're basing this on livestreams?" Ectoplasm muttered, his voice laced with irritation. "Half the people filming were endangering themselves just to get views."

"The footage went viral," Tsukauchi continued. "Multiple civilian injuries, massive property damage, and... his transformation. People are scared. The Public Safety Commission is pushing hard for this."

"It's lucky enough the rest of the world hasn't caught on," Tsukauchi muttered, watching the containment unit. "They don't know we're dealing with actual demons here in Japan. If they did and realized the scale of what Tomioka could become, it wouldn't just be bad for him. It'd be catastrophic."
