Chapter 382: The Yasakani no Magatama Reappears!

"What a tough thing!"

In the blue night sky illuminated by the firelight below, two figures, one black and one blue, were fiercely chasing and battling each other.

A single-beam Sound Cannon, traveling at sonic speed, formed a dense barrage, relentlessly pursuing the massive Blue Marlin.

But no matter how many times its body was destroyed, countless streams of water would materialize out of thin air, rapidly reassembling it as if it were immortal.

"It seems that to make this thing disappear, I have to eliminate the one controlling it first..." thought Kyoka, who had transformed into a flying bat-girl.

What she didn't realize was that, as the battle dragged on, she had unknowingly moved farther and farther away from her original position. The Blue Marlin had been driving her in a specific direction, intentionally or not.

"Finally here, Ojou-sama."

Just as Kyoka noticed the Blue Marlin vanishing into thin air, a strange, magnetic male voice sounded from behind.

"Who?!"

She quickly turned around, only to find herself surrounded by purple-black mist.

"Please come with us. Don't worry, it won't be long before you see Kaminari-kun again. Well… that is, if he's still standing by then."

Kyoka ignored his words and continued firing soundwave attacks and Dantō Sound Cannons at Kurogiri.

But every beam and wave of sound vanished like a pebble dropped into the ocean, without even the faintest ripple. Panic slowly crept onto her face.

The next moment, darkness engulfed her from all directions, swallowing her whole. At the same time, Kurogiri disappeared.

The night sky returned to silence...

Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang.

"Ahahahaha! Is this all you've got, Kaminari Denki?!"

"Come on, let me really cut loose!"

"Is dodging all you can do, you little rat? Hah! Kick me like before!"

On Kota's hidden base, a massive, muscular man clashed fiercely with a golden flash of light, shattering the ground with every movement.

What was once a relatively flat hilltop had been reduced to a cratered battlefield, as though pounded by endless artillery fire.

Nearly all the destruction was caused by Muscular. Each of his charges, punches, and kicks tore through the area like a rampaging bull.

"You're so noisy. Can you keep it down during a fight?"

Kaminari, cloaked in golden lightning and flames, nimbly dodged the flurry of attacks, his face cold and expressionless.

The constant shouting irritated him. After enduring it for some time, he finally couldn't resist commenting.

"You're such a buzzkill. Why don't you try shutting me up yourself?" the man taunted with a wicked smile.

For some reason, as Kaminari nimbly evaded the heavy blows, he glanced at his opponent and casually asked, "You're not Bakugo Katsuki's brother, are you?"

"Bakugo? What's that?" The musclehead stopped and asked, genuinely confused.

Unlike in the original world, where Bakugo was famous for winning first place in the Hero Sports Festival, in this version of reality, his notoriety only came from a previous drumming performance on I-Island.

Naturally, criminals like "Muscular" had no interest in such mundane details.

"He's not a 'what'... ah, never mind. I've basically figured out what you can do." Floating in midair, Kaminari looked down at the man, bringing his palms together in front of him.

Zzzzzzzzt...

A sharp, piercing sound like thousands of birds chirping rang out, and a blinding golden light began to shine from between his hands, outshining even the glow surrounding his body.

"Feel honored. You are about to witness this divine blade, the Ame-no-Murakumo, a god's sword from myth itself, brought into this world!"

In the next instant, a sword of pure golden electricity took shape in Kaminari's hand.

"Oh ho! You're finally getting serious!" Instead of being shocked, "Muscular" looked even more excited.

"Yeah."

The next second, his grin froze. Though Kaminari was clearly still in the air above, the voice came from behind him.

"It's almost time."

Crack!!

A familiar electric burst, a familiar long leg, and a familiar position. Once again, "Muscular" was kicked square in the face. This time, it was even more powerful than before.

Bang.

The electric-charged brute was sent flying several meters back but still didn't fall.

"This guy really knows how to take a hit." Kaminari frowned slightly, seeing how little effect his full-powered kick had.

"You brat, you're really getting on my nerves. Why do you keep kicking me in the face?"

"And seriously, you've got that dumb sword in your hand, so why not just use it?!"

Crack.

"Really? Then I'll grant your wish." With another golden flash, Kaminari instantly appeared behind him and slashed with the glowing sword.

"Hahahaha! I've been waiting for this!!"

"Muscular" laughed and, without turning, swung his elbow back, muscle layers hardening to meet the blade.

Sparks exploded the moment the Ame-no-Murakumo blade made contact with the hardened elbow, lighting up the battlefield.

"This guy..."

Kaminari's heart sank. The sacred sword, strong enough to cut through steel, couldn't slice through the thick muscle fibers of his opponent's arm.

What Kaminari didn't know was that in the original timeline, this "Muscular" could withstand 100% of Midoriya Izuku's One For All.

At that moment, he realized the opponent in front of him had strength rivaling top Pro Heroes.

"Strength, speed, defense, even extreme resistance to electricity. He's basically a budget All Might..."

As their blades and arms separated, Kaminari used the shockwave from the clash to retreat high into the night sky.

In that direct confrontation, he had clearly been at a disadvantage. If the Ame-no-Murakumo couldn't injure him, then pure strength wouldn't be enough.

But combat wasn't just about brute force. There were no rules that said you had to fight head-on.

"What's wrong? Scared from that last hit?!"

"Muscular" sneered, then launched himself upward. The force of his leap cracked the ground beneath him.

Kaminari ignored him completely. He focused, channeling more energy through his body. A storm of electricity surged outward.

The next moment, violent lightning gathered and shaped itself into a golden, five-clawed dragon above his head.

"Brontosaurus!!"

Roar.

Though made entirely of electricity, the thunder dragon let out a deafening roar as it charged toward the enemy who dared challenge its master.

"Stop bringing out such ridiculous stuff!"

Muscular swung his fist at the dragon and was immediately struck by an immense shockwave.

"Maybe you're highly resistant to electricity. But how much heat and energy can you take?"

Kaminari hovered in the night sky like a Thunder God, glaring coldly at the enemy writhing in the electric storm.

"I should thank you, actually. Because thanks to you... I now know how strong I really am."

He crossed his arms in front of him as a blinding light burst from his body like a miniature sun. The brilliance lit up the entire forest, catching the attention of everyone fighting or fleeing within it.

"Let this thunder, this light, this divine punishment drag you down into a hell of fire and lightning..."

"Yasakani no Magatama!!!"
