Kuroki got up unexpectedly, moving with a speed that caught me completely off guard. Before I could react, he grabbed me and hurled me across the room with incredible force. The impact sent me smashing through several reinforced walls, each one collapsing under the sheer power of his throw. I gritted my teeth as the pain surged through my body, but my regeneration quickly kicked in, healing my injuries as I staggered to my feet.
I glanced down at my hands, realizing they had fully regenerated. I had almost forgotten the extent of my own power in the heat of battle. A cold smirk crossed my lips as I prepared to strike back.
"Shadow Step,"
I whispered, my voice barely audible over the sound of the crumbling debris.
In an instant, I vanished, moving faster than the eye could see. I attacked Kuroki from all sides, striking him with a series of rapid kicks and punches. He managed to block one of my kicks, but I only smirked.
Izuku: I have another leg
I said coldly, driving my foot into his face with enough force to send him flying backward.
As he hurtled through the air, I raised my hand, dark green energy gathering at my fingertips.
"Eclipse Beam,"
I commanded, firing a concentrated beam of energy that spiraled into a drill-like form. It bored into his chest, tearing through flesh and bone until it left a gaping hole where his heart should have been.
But to my dismay, Kuroki got up again, laughing as the wound in his chest began to close
Izuku:No... This can't be
I muttered, realizing that his body was breaking down and yet still healing. There was something off about this-something that nagged at the back of my mind.
His laughter echoed through the destroyed facility.
Dr kuroki: I know what you're thinking
he taunted.
Dr kuroki:What's my real quirk? It's body modification.
He grinned, his eyes wild with madness.
Dr kuroki:All my life, I have pursued one thing, and that's true evolution. I was laughed at, scorned for my methods.
I looked at him emotionlessly, knowing the truth of his words.
Izuku:Of course, they'll laugh at your methods
I replied.
Izuku:i'm a living example of that.
He shook his head, his grin widening.
Dr kuroki:Exactly! But yet I achieved it, didn't I? I wasn't wrong... In a way. I thought you were a success, but you even surpassed my expectations. Your current strength could-yes, it could kill All Might. Haven't I succeeded?
I dodged an attack from behind, barely catching the movement out of the corner of my eye. It was a body double, a trick he had used to distract me. I retaliated with a powerful kick, shattering the double's face and sending it flying.
Our battle raged on, an epic clash of power and will. Both of us were taking damage, but neither of us was willing to back down. Kuroki's body was slowly dying, unable to keep up with the strain of his quirk and the injuries I was inflicting. But he refused to give in.
His hand grew immensely larger, grotesque and swollen, crackling with a chaotic mix of energy. The flesh seemed to ripple and distort, as if barely able to contain the raw power within. The skin split in places, exposing the glowing, pulsing energy that threatened to burst forth. It was a monstrous sight, a terrifying display of his body modification quirk taken to its absolute limit.
