I came back to the battle location at the right time and punched the new villain. The new villain, and by that, I mean the pitch-black version of Overhaul.
In the time I had arrived, I had found him giving Reiko a hard time, and I won't lie, I punched him the moment he split his body and regenerated.
Overhaul flew back from the overwhelming strength of the stand. His body pierced many buildings on his way, and his momentum only stopped after his body clashed with ten buildings or so.
Overhaul stopped in the air, a hole in his stomach. However, it didn't bleed, instead, it was closed in instant, as he fell to the ground.
"Are you a Nomu?"
I asked as soon as I appeared in front of him.
The Kai Chisaki whom I met in the past wasn't a Nomu like. However, the one in front of me, he is – except that he has his skull.
Overhaul lifted his head, looked at me, giving me a hit of surprise in his eyes.
"And so what, if I were," He flipped back and landed on top of one building.
"Then, there are few things I would like to know." I said, "but first, how did you change your look."
"Tsk. Why should I answer someone who is about to die." Overhaul seemed to be too confident as he sneered at me.
"What a pain."
This conversation was painful honestly. "I'll beat you up until you can't talk anymore."
That was a good solution.
"Tsk, that if you lived to then." Overhaul put his hand on the roof of the building he was standing at.
The shape of it changed, twisted, creating very sharp spikes, gigantic ones that headed toward me.
Since I had exposed the Time Stop from earlier, I guess I won't hide it now.
Fl.i.c.k.i.n.g my finger, I called the stand, and a wave-like left my body freezing everything. In instant, I appeared in front of Overhaul, whose hand was on the ground and eyes on my original spot.
I crossed my arms as I floated above him and sneered.
"For you to be a human a moment ago, and then turn into a black beast the next moment." I started thinking, with Hamon pumped into my brain.
I opened my eyes as the idea invaded my mind. Earlier, I had let that thicc rabbit woman fight with that pitch-black person, who happened to have regeneration and power and speed that Mirio couldn't do anything to him.
Now, I think of it. The overhaul has a Quirk that can manipulate the matter, and the living beings as well.
"Could it be that guy was the real Nomu, yet Overhaul changed his look, before fusing with him?"
I sneered. If this means one thing, it would be that Kai is either a part of the League of Villains, or he has a relationship with them to have a Nomu here to his side.
While the ideas were invading my mind, Star Platinum was using his fingertips to make many holes across his body, before clenching his fists and punch as fast as possible.
Each second, Overhaul should be taking thousands of punches, that for sure. I wasn't really accurate, as even I, with my brain boosted, can't keep up with the speed of the Stand.
"Time flows yet again."
Kai flew back, with many holes on his body and an expression that showed surprise on his face. The building that he was manipulating stopped twisting its shape.
Kai was now in the air, with a surprised expression as he flew past the helicopter that was steaming the event.
I wrapped myself with the stand and followed him.
"USELESS!" Overhaul screamed as he flipped in the air, his wounds got healed in instant.
Damn. This level of regeneration has surely surpassed the usual level of a Nomu.
"Good Grief," I said as I stopped the time again.
Star Platinum and I punched him again, sending him flying away this time.
Although the Yakuza young master has a super regeneration now, it doesn't mean that I don't have my own ways to deal with them.
Well… time to increase my stamina in the bed again – ahem, I mean, my physical and spiritual strength.
Kai kept flying back with new injuries appearing in his body. I sneered at him each time he healed and pushed him away until we were outside the region of Hosu.
"Now, you can rest in peace."
Once the time flowed, as we were above a mountain, I made Star Platinum hold Overhaul from his head. Kai was so confused giving his expression. From his point of view, it must be that he had been getting beaten and teleporting all along.
We descended to the ground, surrounded by a forest. Star Platinum took a deep breath, and a Hamon was channelled from his hand to Kai's brain, rendering him paralysed temporarily.
"What's going on?" Kai questioned. Although his regeneration was working, he was unable to issue commands to his body.
"Your ability is to fix things, and modify them, am I wrong," I asked with a sneer as I approached him.
Kai was unable to lie, with Hamon in his mind. "Yes, I am."
"Mmm… can you pull yourself out from what you have done?" I asked.
"I can, of course, take back the modification I make on myself," he said, but then suddenly flinched. "Hey. What the f.u.c.k did you do to me?"
"None of your business." With my hands reaching his face, I controlled his mind.
"Now, disable the modifications."
All of the sudden, Kai, the white one, was pulled out of this body. On its place, appeared a Nomu, which laid on the ground, almost dead.
"Oh shit."
Don't die now. I need your life force. I quickly made Star Platinum grab the Nomu, before I control its body, making it give its Life Ripples to me.
It would be a waste not to get that.
After all, that would increase the duration that I can stop time, besides training.
"What happened?" Kai, who just fell to the ground, looking so tired, asked as he looked at the Nomu that became white, before looking at me with my hair spiking up.
I looked at Kai, who looked to be young and full of life.
If I'm not wrong, I promised Yu some water.
And the Nomu is already dead.
"How about you answer some questions if you don't want to become white," I said, pointing to the Nomu, before sneering. "It's not like you have the choice."
Overhaul, aka Kai, shivered when he saw me approaching him, my hand slowly moving to his head.
