Chapter 213: The World's Self-Rescue

"Boom!"

A massive fireball came howling from the distance, the air scorched by high heat emitting a piercing whistle. At the center of the flames, a tall figure flickered in and out of sight.

"What!" Andewa had just arrived at the scene, and upon seeing the sight before him, his pupils suddenly contracted, "This is..."

Buildings within several kilometers had already been reduced to ruins, and a huge circular crater suddenly appeared on the ground.

Even more shocking was a towering giant tree rising from the ground, its trunk thick enough to be suffocating.

"Whoosh!"

A sound of breaking air came from midair, Hawks spread his wings and hovered high in the sky. His gaze swept over the scene below, his expression becoming unusually solemn.

"The entire city district has been destroyed." Hawks hovered in midair, his gaze sweeping over the shocking traces of destruction on the ground, "Destruction of this scale has already surpassed all previous cases..."

Madara Uchiha leaped down from the top of the God Tree, his long black hair fluttering in the air current. He landed steadily on the ground and looked up at the two heroes.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Andewa's flames surged violently all over his body, the surrounding air twisted by the heat, "I warn you, stop this behavior immediately!"

"What do I want?" A cold smile curved the corner of his mouth, "Of course, to destroy this false world."

"Bullshit!" Andewa slammed his hands together, scorching flames condensing in his palm, "I will never let you succeed! Hellfire Fist!"

Scorching flames instantly boiled the surrounding air. Andewa threw a punch, and the flames turned into a crimson giant dragon, roaring as it slammed toward Madara Uchiha.

"Boom!" The fire dragon crashed into Madara Uchiha, instantly triggering a huge explosion, with flames scattering everywhere.

"Not over yet!" Andewa stomped his feet hard, rushing out like a shell, his fists wrapped in flames: "Burning Hell!"

"Crack crack crack!" Amidst a series of explosive sounds, Andewa's fists fell like a rainstorm, each punch carrying a high temperature enough to melt steel.

In midair, Hawks flapped his wings, his eyes fixed tightly on the battlefield below.

Feathers trembled constantly in the violent air waves: "Worthy Of Andewa, this level of heat, even I cannot approach."

"Is this the strength of the world's second hero?" Amidst the smoke and dust, Madara's voice carried a hint of disappointment: "It really fails to arouse interest."

"What?!"

Madara Uchiha's pupils suddenly contracted, his Hellfire actually being looked down upon like this?

"Bastard!" Andewa gritted his teeth, flames all over his body suddenly surging, the temperature rising again, "Don't get too cocky! Hellfire·Purgatory!"

Towering flames shot into the sky, turning into a huge fire vortex that enveloped Madara Uchiha within.

"Let me tell you, what true fire is."

Madara Uchiha's fingers changed rapidly, forming a seal: "Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

"Hmph!" Andewa sneered, "I am a hero who controls Hellfire, fire to me basically"

His voice had not yet fallen when his pupils suddenly contracted. Only to see that in front of Madara Uchiha, the air suddenly twisted. The next moment, a wall of fire fell from the sky.

No, it could no longer be called a wall of fire.

It was a sea of fire! Scorching flames, centered on Madara Uchiha, spread outward, covering a range of several kilometers in the blink of an eye. The entire sky was dyed blood-red, as if doomsday had arrived.

"This, how is this possible?!"

He had never seen such terrifying flames; this was no longer a difference in quantity, but a difference in essence! "Block it for me!" Andewa roared, his muscles swelling instantly, more flames bursting from within his body, trying to resist this terrifying heat, but this barrier in front of Madara Uchiha's flames was like a candle against the blazing sun.

"Ah!"

Andewa let out a painful scream. His skin began to crack under the high temperature, his flesh and blood roasted black.

Just as the sea of fire was about to devour Andewa, a figure descended from the sky.

"Pfft!"

A black shadow descended from the sky, it was Thirteen. His right hand suddenly extended forward, the armor on his finger making a "crack" sound, revealing a pitch-black void inside.

"Black Hole!"

Terrifying suction erupted instantly, the sea of fire as if summoned, rushing crazily toward that black point. Air was pulled by the suction, emitting a piercing whistle.

"Aaaah!"

Thirteen's whole body trembled, the temperature of the flames too high, the surface of his armor already beginning to turn red, cracks spreading like a spider web.

"Boom!"

The armor shattered with a huge bang, Thirteen kneeling heavily on the ground like a broken puppet, but that sea of fire that devoured everything had been completely absorbed by him.

Andewa's legs could no longer support him, kneeling heavily on the ground, his whole body charred and smoking. His flesh had begun to carbonize, emitting a burnt meat stench.

At this moment, a commotion came from the distance, a large number of professional heroes arrived at the scene, several medical personnel were treating All Might's injuries.

"All Might!" someone exclaimed, rushing toward the blond man lying in the ruins.

"Move aside! Let me!"

Recovery Girl squeezed through the crowd, pressing her hands on All Might's chest. A warm light enveloped the injured person, and the wounds began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Madara Uchiha stood where he was, his gaze falling on Thirteen: "To be able to absorb a Fire Release of such scale, it seems this world is not completely without interesting things."

"Damn it!" A roar suddenly sounded. A burly professional hero rushed forward, his arms already turned into a metallic texture, emitting: "Don't be too arrogant!"

"Attack together!" The surrounding professional heroes all assumed combat stances, preparing to swarm him.

"Stop!" All Might suddenly shouted, but the movement aggravated his injuries, causing him to let out a muffled groan, "You are not his match!"

Everyone was stunned, but All Might had already struggled to stand up. Blood dripped down his body, pooling into a pool of blood on the ground.

"As long as I am still alive!" He slowly took a step, his muscles beginning to swell: "I will not allow you to wantonly destroy!"

"Damn..." The surrounding heroes gritted their teeth, looking at All Might's swaying back.

"Notify citizens to evacuate immediately!" Hawks suddenly shouted, "All support personnel retreat! Now! "

"But..." someone still wanted to say something.

"Execute the order!" Hawks shouted sternly, "A battle of this level will only drag us down here! "

Professional heroes began to retreat in an orderly manner, evacuating the surrounding crowd.

"Hmm?"

Madara Uchiha's gaze suddenly turned to the distance, only to see a large amount of black liquid suddenly surging out on the ground, spreading like ink on the ground.

"Gurgle gurgle." The black liquid boiled and churned, and two figures slowly rose from within.

One was a man whose face was covered in scars; the other was covered all over in hands, his tattered black clothes making him look like a madman.

"All For One!" All Might's pupils shrank sharply: "What are the two of you here for?" All For One at this moment looked around at the surrounding environment, and the massive God Tree behind Madara Uchiha.

"Heh." The scars on All For One's face twisted, letting out a low laugh, "Naturally, it is for this unprecedented power."

"Such powerful power should not be wasted on meaningless destruction." All For One turned toward Madara, "To be able to destroy a city district in a short time, your Quirk must be very special."

He stepped forward one step, "The future of this world will ultimately be ruled by me. Your power rightfully belongs to me!"

He raised his scar-covered right hand, extending it toward Madara, "Join me, become my subordinate. With your strength, you will surely gain a place in the New World."

"Heh"

Madara suddenly laughed out loud, his laughter full of mockery, "Just with you?"

"You!" Tomura Shigaraki trembled all over, his nails growing wildly, "Don't be too arrogant!"

He kicked off hard with both legs, his whole body shooting toward Madara like an arrow leaving the bowstring, five fingers spread open glowing with an eerie light: "I'll turn you to dust!"

Madara raised his eyes slightly, a trace of disdain flashing in them; he couldn't even be bothered to raise a hand, merely releasing a wisp of chakra lightly.

"Boom!"

An invisible repulsive force erupted; Tomura Shigaraki's body flew backward like a kite with its string cut, crashing heavily onto the ground, unmoving.

The scene fell instantly silent.

The expression on All For One's face became incomparably gloomy. His gaze fixed on Madara no longer held any playfulness, replaced by boundless killing intent.

He slowly raised his right hand; several pitch-black tentacles extended from his fingertips, emitting a "hiss hiss" sound in the air.

"Since you refuse to submit, then become my power!"

"Whoosh!"

His figure vanished from the spot in an instant. The surrounding air suddenly twisted; dozens of tentacles struck toward Madara from all directions like venomous snakes.

"Heh." Madara merely smiled lightly, waving his right hand casually.

All tentacles were severed in an instant, black liquid splattering everywhere; suddenly All For One's figure reappeared, a dazzling red light flaring on his chest.

"Zzt!"

A thick laser beam blasted toward Madara's face. Madara raised his right hand, palm facing the laser. The laser collided with his palm, refracting in all directions as if striking a mirror surface.

"Crack crack crack!"

The ground was cut by the refracted lasers into several deep gullies, rubble flying everywhere.

"To actually block my laser barehanded." All For One's voice sank.

"Bang!"

Madara's eyes moved; an invisible force instantly sent All For One flying. His body tumbled through the air like a rag doll, finally crashing heavily into distant ruins.

"Texas."

A roar came from the side. All Might had already closed in; his whole body was like a fired shell, every muscle swollen to the limit, every vein clearly visible.

"Smash!"

Madara merely tilted his body slightly, only extending one finger to lightly tap All Might's fist tip.

"Boom!"

A terrifying shockwave erupted between the two. The ground instantly collapsed, forming a huge pit. All Might's whole body flew backward like a kite with its string cut, crashing heavily onto the ground.

"Cough!" He spat a mouthful of blood; his right arm was already completely twisted and deformed.

"Still not enough!" All Might sprang up from the ground fiercely, blood flowing down his forehead, dyeing half his cheek red. His gaze burned bright: "As long as I have one breath left, I will not give up!"

"300% Power!" He stomped hard with both feet; the ground instantly shattered. Muscles swelled wildly in a limit state, every vein bulging as if about to burst.

At the same time, far away, All For One stood up from the ruins, roaring, "Let you witness true power!"

"Power Multiplication, Hypertrophy, Rivet Blades, Spear-like Bones..."

Without saying a word, All For One's arm began to deform; over a dozen Quirks activated simultaneously, his arm completely twisted into a massive flesh lump, its surface covered in sharp bone spikes, black tentacles writhing within.

The next instant, both figures vanished from their spots simultaneously; air waves surged, the ground shattering inch by inch.

"Boom!"

Two powers capable of destroying heaven and earth converged beside Madara; the shockwave spread outward with him as the center, the ground within a dozen li rapidly sinking under this strike.

Amidst the smoke and dust, Madara's two hands separately grasped the two men's attacks. His right hand clamped All For One's deformed arm; his left hand gripped All Might's fist.

"Hm?"

Madara's brows suddenly furrowed; he felt two powers growing at an inconceivable speed. The power erupting from All Might's fist grew stronger and stronger, already far exceeding the previous level.

"Hmph." Madara snorted coldly, fingers curling slightly, flinging the two men out violently.

"Boom!"

Air waves exploded; both bodies flew backward instantly. Their figures traced long parabolas, crashing heavily onto the ground hundreds of meters away, smashing two huge pits.

Madara stood in place looking at the two before him, a trace of thought flashing in his eyes; this growth speed had already exceeded common sense, as if some invisible force was driving them.

"Could it be?" Madara's gaze pierced the void, "This world's will is saving itself?"

"S-still... not over!"

In the smoke and dust, All Might stood up swaying, blood flowing down his forehead, soaking half his blond hair. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.

"Why." His voice was hoarse, yet carried an unyielding will, "Why do you destroy this world?"

With every step he took, the ground sank into a deep pit. Blood dripped from his body, leaving a string of blood traces on the ground.

"Even if this world has flaws, there are still countless people striving! There are still countless smiles that need protecting!"

"Therefore." All Might's muscles swelled again, the cracks on his skin surface even denser, blood seeping from the gaps, "I absolutely will not let you succeed!"

At the same time, All For One also stood up from the ruins. Black qi surged on his deformed arm; an unprecedented aura erupted from within him.

Madara watched the two men's continuously breaking-through power; a trace of interest flashed in his Rinnegan. This world's will was displaying its power through these two; this was the first time he had seen such a phenomenon.

"Interesting." Madara's mouth corners curled slightly, he spread his arms, his black hair fluttering in the energy wave, "Since that's the case, then let me see what level you can reach."

"Come!" His voice echoed between heaven and earth, "Let me see your resolve!"
