"Endeavor, the Pro Hero."
Having completed his transformation, the doctor straightened his massive body and looked down at Endeavor, whose entire form was engulfed in roaring flas.
"I've heard your na for a long ti," the doctor said calmly.
"But I wonder—just how big is the gap between you and All Might?"
The mont those words left his mouth, Endeavor's pupils shrank.
All Might was a wound that never healed. Being directly compared like this caused Endeavor to freeze for an instant.
"Let see how much weight you really carry!"
Blue veins bulged violently across the doctor's thick legs. His massive body vanished in a blur, closing the distance in an instant.
"So fast—my eyes can't even keep up!"
Masata and Todoroki, watching from behind, were visibly shaken. Just how terrifying had the doctor beco after fusing the monkey and rhino genes? Or had he been modifying his body long before this?
"Burn!!!"
Endeavor snapped out of it instantly. Living up to his title as the No. 2 Hero, he reacted without hesitation. Flas gathered around his fists, forming two massive fireballs that shot straight toward the doctor.
"It's useless!"
Facing the high-temperature fireballs, the doctor took a deep breath—and then exhaled violently.
A powerful gust of air erupted, forming a hurricane that blew the fireballs apart midair.
"Physical strength comparable to a Nomu at USJ—over two hundred tis reinforced," the doctor sneered.
"And with intelligence intact. I really am a masterpiece."
Seeing his attack dispersed so easily, Endeavor showed no frustration.
Flas continued to compress around his fists, growing denser, hotter—almost solid.
"Hell Scorching Fist!"
With unstoppable montum, the blazing punch slamd toward the doctor while he was still airborne.
The distance between them was less than a ter.
There was no ti to dodge.
BOOM!!
The terrifying heat instantly carbonized the doctor's skin. Flas tore straight through his body, punching a massive hole clean through his torso.
For a mont, it looked as though Endeavor had ended everything in a single strike.
"…Did he kill him?!"
Masata stared in shock. The sheer temperature of Endeavor's flas far exceeded his own magma. His skin felt dry and cracked just from standing nearby. Since awakening his quirk, this was the first ti Masata had felt such overwhelming heat.
"If my magma could reach that temperature," Masata thought,
"the destructive power would increase exponentially…"
Todoroki was just as stunned. This was the first ti he had seen his father fight at full power. Compared to Endeavor, Todoroki's flas were vastly inferior in both heat and control.
Watching the doctor collapse onto the ground, flas still burning on his body and the sll of charred flesh filling the air, Endeavor exhaled slowly.
"Is that all you've got?"
Countless villains had been reduced to ashes by this technique. Endeavor had no reason to believe a body of flesh and blood could survive it.
"I was about to ask you the sa thing."
The voice ca from the ground.
"What?!"
All three froze.
Slowly, the doctor stood up from the flas.
His flesh writhed and intertwined, rapidly filling the gaping hole in his chest. New skin ford at a terrifying speed. The carbonized layers peeled away and fell to the floor.
"You think flas like that can kill ?" the doctor sneered, touching the sharp horn on his nose.
"My quirk has been fully developed. Accelerated regeneration is the easiest part of it."
"Heaven Dog!"
Masata struck.
Taking advantage of the mont when the doctor was still regenerating, Masata had already closed in. His strongest attack slamd forward without hesitation.
BOOM!!
The doctor raised one arm and caught Masata's fist mid-swing.
Gripping Masata's magma-covered arm, he hurled him sideways like a toy.
Masata crashed hard into the tal wall of the passage. Although his magma wasn't as hot as Endeavor's flas, the impact was devastating—his forearm partially lted from the force.
"Masata!"
An ice wall erupted beneath Masata, separating him from the doctor.
Masata was embedded halfway into the tal wall, clearly having taken a heavy blow.
"Cough… I'm fine," Masata said, pushing himself up while leaning on the ice wall.
"No broken bones—just a bit dizzy."
He forced himself to his feet and looked back at the battlefield.
The doctor's severed arm had already grown back.
The regeneration speed was horrifying.
Now he was once again locked in combat with Endeavor.
Endeavor's flas continuously scorched the doctor's body, yet the flesh regenerated just as quickly. At the sa ti, the doctor's attacks were fierce—fast and heavy. In terms of raw strength, Endeavor was being pushed back.
Blood trickled from Endeavor's mouth.
Yet the flas around his body only grew stronger.
The fire reflected in his eyes burned with unyielding resolve.
"Fla Whip!"
Five blazing streams shot out from Endeavor's fingers, lashing toward the doctor like whips of fire.
The doctor clearly didn't want to take another direct hit. He dodged repeatedly with agile movents, and for a mont, the battle fell into a tense stalemate.
"…His body is shrinking!" Todoroki shouted.
Masata noticed it too.
Before, the doctor had stood nearly three ters tall—almost a full ter taller than Endeavor. Now, he was only slightly taller.
Endeavor noticed as well.
"It looks like regeneration is consuming your body mass," Endeavor said, a grim smile appearing.
"How many tis can you keep regenerating at this rate?"
"And your punches—are getting weaker."
The doctor clenched his teeth.
He hadn't expected Endeavor's flas to be so destructive. Continuous regeneration was rapidly draining his reserves. The Rhino-Man's flesh had almost been completely consud, and his strength was declining fast.
"This isn't over yet!"
With a furious roar, the doctor charged forward, driving the sharp horn on his nose straight toward Endeavor.
"That kind of attack won't hit !"
Endeavor sidestepped effortlessly and slamd his fist into the doctor's torso.
But the doctor endured the blow and continued charging forward without slowing down.
