The world blurred, as if several colors were racing to outshine each other.
This was no re teleportation. Using Descorrer needed ti. The act of Nyx slashing her wing to slice the space open, and then Luke and lissa rushing into the blackness would have occupied at least a few monts. Monts that the world's Top Heroes would have never given him.
The Heroes gathered at I-Island weren't so run-of-the-mill group.
They were among the best of the best, each one holding a powerful Quirk.
Not to ntion, they had been counting on Dr. Blessed's arrival after he had failed to kidnap Dr. Samuel Abraham. As if that wasn't enough, the Quirks Dr. Blessed had used were mostly known to the upper echelons, anyway.
So, it was highly likely that they had prepared asures to counter his known Quirks.
Star Shift was not a known Quirk.
Nor was it a common teleportation technique.
Not only was it as fast as thought, but it was also almost impossible to stop by any ans, as it depended on what Nyx was thinking at that ti.
If Nyx was picturing Luke, lissa, and herself being at a different place, then they would disappear, no matter how much anyone tried to stop them.
It was like layering a texture of space over another, and then shifting between the two textures.
It was complex.
It was full of unimaginable risks.
And it was also the most broken Quirk available in Luke's arsenal.
Coupled with Perfect Recall Quirk, there was hardly any force that could confine Nyx to a place, despite Star Shift being only a Super Complexity Quirk.
If it weren't for Nyx passing out cold during the LA Villains Detention Center incident, Luke would not have shied away from using this Quirk to run.
But Star Shift and Perfect Recall needed intelligence to function.
Luke hadn't had nearly enough Spirit Points to bestow so many Quirks upon the Mushroom and still keep it intact.
Also, it would have been a monstrous risk, letting such a creature use Star Shift. In hindsight, and given how Mushroom turned out, Luke seed to have avoided a great disaster. Otherwise, with one stray thought… what if Mushroom had taken them outside The Boundary?!
Now, though, Luke wasn't hindered by these restrictions.
A Magician perford the best when he was prepared.
With Mushroom-nimi acting as the best and most bombastic distraction, it also gave Luke the best opportunity to kidnap lissa.
Swiftness was the key, Luke had known.
With his Spirit Points dwindling at 165, he couldn't have afforded a prolonged battle — an unavoidable scenario given the sheer number of Heroes there.
Using the Astrologer's Crystal Globe to see precise locations contributed the most.
It had allowed Luke to avoid using manipulative tactics unnecessarily, like in the case of the Detention Center. At that ti, he had just beco an Astrologer and hadn't gotten the hang of it.
But, in the last week, he had been continuously familiarizing himself with the Crystal Globe, advancing his Potion Digestion to the extre.
Presently, as Luke and lissa appeared in the Conference Hall at Apostles' HQ, Nyx, who had been hiding under Luke's coat, silently slipped away, flying toward a dark corner.
"Wait a minute, Ms. Shield," Dr. Blessed said, walking toward the sa corner.
lissa, flabbergasted beyond words, kept snapping her head in all directions, unable to believe that they had managed to escape… just like that.
anwhile, Luke canceled all the Quirks within Nyx and activated Descorrer.
Space parted up and down in the dark corner, the Quirk connecting the Conference Hall to a predetermined coordinate near the I-Island.
From the spatial tunnel, a humongous figure ca flying in at the speed of a rocket.
Boooooooooooom!!!
The 12-foot-tall figure slamd into the table and went rolling to the opposite wall, creating a massive impression.
lissa scread and ran toward Dr. Blessed.
Suddenly, her eyes landed on a Hero's face as it tried to co out of the darkness, Dr. Blessed trying to push him back as he let out grunts.
"Oh, you are here!" Dr. Blessed shouted. "Co here, Ms. Shield! Help !!"
"…"
Despite the sheer comical sight and still scared by the huge figure that had co slamming into the Conference Hall, lissa walked toward Dr. Blessed and put her hand on his face, too.
"… Ms. lissa?!" the Hero, trying to barge through Descorrer, hissed in shock. "… Wha…"
"On 3!" Dr. Blessed shouted. "3!!!"
With great force, they pushed the Hero back, Nyx canceling the Quirk as she hid herself behind Luke.
"Whoa…" Dr. Blessed said, rubbing away non-existent sweat from his clownish mask. "Are you alright?"
lissa stared at the… International Criminal… and nodded.
Suddenly, she rembered the huge figure, her head snapping back.
It was a 12-foot-tall creature with a bio-tallic fra, and little mushrooms were popping out from all over its body. For a head, it had a large mushroom, with a gigantic cap. And its eyes were glowing red on the mushroom's stem.
lissa stumbled back, her face paling.
Luke looked away from her and then at Mushroom. "Oh, it's with us. Don't worry."
"… What is… that thing?!" lissa asked as Mushroom's eyes beca cyan and it began picking broken mushrooms off its body.
Luke smiled behind the mask. "A cyborg."
lissa's brows shot up, her eyes popping out.
"… Co," Dr. Blessed said, walking away. "Mushroom-nimi, set the table in its place, please."
"Oh, yes," the cyborg hurriedly stepped away from the broken wall and lifted the massive, steel-like table with one hand. "Also, We cannot keep using this move, Master. It eats away too much of our fuel."
Luke nodded in understanding, realizing he needed to figure out just how much fuel Mushroom even held.
"Please sit, Ms. Shield," he said, sitting in the head chair. "We have a lot to discuss."
lissa sat down to Dr. Blessed's right, her eyes never leaving the sight of Mushroom. She wanted to ask so many things about the cyborg.
It was a cyborg.
A CYBORG!!!
My God… lissa gulped, barely able to contain her curiosity and fascination.
But before she could lose to the innovator and researcher inside her, Dr. Blessed placed a black, clownish mask on the table.
"And now," Luke said, looking into lissa's watery eyes. "… let tell you what it ans to be an Apostle of Mr. Fool."
