"Nova Genesis!" Novabel's voice rang sharply through the comms embedded in every member's mask. "End your battles fast! Pro heroes are just ten kilometers away from the city! Novagent—finish securing all civilians into compress balls!"
Even as he issued commands, Novabel moved like a phantom in the sky. Golden spheres shot toward him from below, but he weaved through them effortlessly, his body flickering with red energy.
"Power Smash!" he declared, driving his gauntlet upward into Dark Might's jaw with devastating force. The impact launched the monstrous figure high into the air.
"Continuous Punch Sequence!" Novabel blurred around the airborne giant, fists striking the air at insane speeds. Each punch generated compressed shockwaves that slammed into Dark Might from every direction.
The monster's massive body jerked violently as invisible blows juggled it midair, deep punch-shaped dents forming across its grotesque frame.
Elsewhere, Novangle hovered in the air, surrounded by a battlefield of chaos. Over a hundred red lightning arrows hung frozen inside Bruno's time dome, their energy crackling silently.
"You can't beat me in my domain!" Bruno laughed arrogantly.
Melissa smirked behind her mask, lowering her bow. She clasped her hands together, red lightning sparking between her fingers. "Thunder Current."
A surge of electricity shot through her hands and connected to one of the suspended arrows.
In an instant, the entire network ignited.
Lightning surged from arrow to arrow in a violent chain reaction, bypassing the time dome's control and directly electrocuting both Bruno and Simon. Their screams echoed as the current overwhelmed them.
The time dome shattered.
All the arrows detonated simultaneously, a storm of red lightning exploding outward and wiping out the remaining monsters.
Melissa didn't waste a second. She grabbed the unconscious Bruno and Simon—along with Deborah and Paulo—and hurled them toward Novagent.
David calmly caught them midair, compressing them into marbles and storing them in a separate container meant for villains.
"Gamma Mode!"
Her suit's stripes shifted to orange as her wings folded and formed a circular frame behind her. She thrust her hands forward. "Gamma Beam!"
A massive circular beam of orange energy blasted forward, sweeping across a horde of Trigger-enhanced villains. Melissa carefully controlled the beam's intensity, knocking enemies unconscious without killing them as she rotated it across the battlefield.
On another front, Novamor darted through the air, her staff glowing as she disrupted the Gollini members operating cameras.
"Let's clean this up," she muttered, rerouting the feeds.
Nova-Drive's drones swooped in, taking over the broadcast as Novamor disabled the original cameras. Her glider wings deployed as she soared toward Novaflex.
Below her, Novaflex stood atop a warped building.
He had turned the entire structure rubbery.
With a powerful swing of his staff, he bent the building to an extreme angle before releasing it. The structure snapped back violently, slamming into a cluster of enemies and sending them flying.
Novamor landed beside him. "No civilians left in the streets. Only a few scattered ones detected—let's grab them."
Novaflex nodded. He planted his staff into the ground, bent it like a spring, and launched himself high into the air, catching the staff mid-flight as he followed her.
Meanwhile, Novak hovered above her opponents—Kamile, the exhausted teleporter, and the aging telekinetic.
She holstered her weapon calmly. "You three are finished."
They frowned in confusion—and then explosions erupted around them.
Energy bullets burst from the ground itself, detonating beneath their feet and blasting them into unconsciousness.
"Mine bullets~," Novak said casually, a hint of satisfaction in her tone. "Very useful."
Ropes shot from her suit, binding the three tightly before she lifted them into the air and carried them toward Novagent.
Back at the center, Dark Might's monstrous form trembled violently. Cracks spread across his crimson-black skin from the relentless barrage of shockwaves.
"RAAAAAAA!" he roared.
Memories flashed in his mind—his rise, his ambition… and the moment he killed his own father.
His quirk spiraled further out of control.
His already massive body expanded again, mutating grotesquely as his skin turned a deeper crimson.
"I WON'T LOSE!!!" his distorted voice screeched across the sky.
"You already have."
Novabel appeared directly in front of him, calm and unwavering. His hands came together, gathering immense power between them.
"Power Beam: Spiral Form!"
A spiraling beam of condensed red energy erupted forward, drilling straight through the monstrous body. It tore apart everything—head, limbs, and torso—until only a fragment of the chest remained.
That fragment exploded.
From within, Valdo's broken, unconscious body fell from the sky.
Arata raised his hand.
With a subtle motion of the Space Stone, Valdo's fall stopped midair.
He descended slowly, landing near his team.
The battlefield had fallen silent.
Nova Genesis stood together—tired, bruised, but victorious.
Behind them, Nova-Drive hovered as its rear doors opened, revealing two massive containers filled with marbles.
One held the civilians and heroes of Hiroshima.
The other… every captured villain.
Novabel gestured, lowering Valdo toward Novagent, who compressed him into a marble and placed him inside the villain container.
Novamor directed the drones closer, positioning the cameras in front of Novabel.
He stepped forward.
"The Gollini family sought to overthrow Japan," he said, his voice echoing across the live broadcast. "They took advantage of the chaos caused by corruption within the government and HPSC."
He spread his arms.
"We stopped them."
"But this will not be the last time. As long as corruption exists… greater threats will follow."
His gaze hardened behind the mask."So I ask you again—join me."
"In one month, I will begin removing the corrupt higher-ups… starting with the pro heroes."
"Those who wish to stand against corruption—rise. You have my full support."
Behind him, Nova-Drive extended a pole from its roof, raising the black flag marked with the blazing supernova symbol.
"We will meet again… for a better future."
With that, Novabel raised his hand—and destroyed the cameras.
At that exact moment, flames erupted from the distance.
Endeavor burst onto the scene, his body engulfed in fire as he unleashed a powerful Blast Burn toward Novabel.
Novabel didn't even flinch.
A red beam shot from his gauntlet, cutting through the flames and slamming into Endeavor, sending the number two hero crashing backward.
"Let's go," Arata said calmly.
A portal opened behind him. One by one, Nova Genesis members entered, followed by Nova-Drive.
Before stepping through, Novabel glanced back and said coldly, "We'll meet soon enough…Enji Todoroki."
"STOP RIGHT THERE, VILLAIN!" Endeavor roared, lunging forward.
But the portal closed—right in front of his attack.
Leaving behind nothing but silence… and a shattered battlefield.
