BNHA: Accelerator The Strongest Hero

As the power of the security system rebooted, the masked man felt an uneasy sensation rising within him, especially when he saw the unknown top-tier hero's confident demeanor.

As the leader of the group and the executor of the plan, how could he ignore an unexpected turn of events?

So, he immediately suppressed the burning rage in his heart, focused on keeping a wary eye on Accelerator, and without losing focus on David, who was still the target and hostage, used the communicator under his mask to contact the center of the tower his team had originally controlled.

"Damn it... What's going on?!"

His voice, full of malice and rage, was amplified and sent to the control room.

"You idiots can't even control an unmanned security system?!"

The masked man hadn't expected that the other end of the communication was completely silent, and no one answered his question.

(Could it be... my men are all dead?!)

"I-Island" was on par with the Tartarus prison designed to hold enemies, and even a large elite criminal organization like his group wouldn't have been able to break in.

These criminals managed to infiltrate the island with the help of Sam, the assistant, who was a trusted aide to the island's founders, and even David himself had an indirect role in helping bypass the security system.

Even then, the masked man and his subordinates spent years looking for flaws in the security system and several more months solving technical issues, achieving an almost seamless efficiency to seize control of the vital "I-Island" in such a short time.

Once the intruders became the controllers, the security system's role as the "eye" of the law naturally turned into a weapon for the group.

Without insiders or a large number of technical experts, no one could bypass the security system, not even someone as powerful as All Might.

As for the collective betrayal by his subordinates, the masked man had never considered it. Who would be foolish enough to hand over their life's most important chips to someone else?

(There's only one top-tier hero left who can still move.)

(Even the top-tier hero, Hawks, couldn't possibly kill my subordinates and immediately turn around to easily seize control of the island's security system, appearing right in front of me at the same time.)

(This guy makes no sense... What kind of hero is he?!)

(What exactly did he do!!!)

With these thoughts, a cold and eerie feeling, along with the pressure emanating from someone, coiled around his spine like a giant serpent that had just woken up from a long winter's sleep, hungry and fierce.

It even made the masked man feel an absurd illusion, as if his breath grew even a little heavier, his once solid spine would easily be crushed by that terrifying chill.

In the "Tower" control room, the members of the security system team were still "holding their ground" at their usual posts, in front of dozens of computers, but that didn't really mean anything.

Despite these highly skilled and professional team members in electronic technology, none of them had suffered any physical harm.

They were not physically restrained either. Instead, the real struggle was for control of the security system of the "Island."

Their opponent was — the blue artificial AI girl, Ene.

The screens that should've shown the monitoring of each floor of the tower and the island's situation had all turned into the latest episode of Ene's favorite superhero TV show.

Everyone in the control room was relaxing on a virtual bed with the AI girl, casually watching the show, stretching her slim waist or making light jokes. Meanwhile, the dozen or so tech team members were sweating heavily, anxiously and hopelessly listening to the boss's desperate shouts over the comms but were unable to do anything.

Any commands or permissions were useless, like throwing a stone into the sea, leaving them feeling utterly hopeless.

It was like the difference between the steam age and the information age.

This made the once proud team members, who thought they had control of the most advanced security system in the world, feel a huge gap in reality. They could only suffer in panic as they watched the situation turn against them.

They watched helplessly as their colleagues guarding the lobby and the doors were taken down by security robots and defensive devices.

They could do nothing.

These criminals in the control room, who seemed to see their own fate in the future, were trembling slightly, unable to escape just like the U.A. students before, stuck in a hopeless struggle.

After all, the enemy had already regained full control of the island.

With such an unbelievable level of tech, infiltrating the team's communication system was like child's play.

But even with all this, their boss, the masked man, still let out increasingly frantic growls, echoing through the spacious control room, each second crushing their hearts, mocking the incompetence of their team.

The more leisurely the blue AI girl on the screen appeared, the more it made them feel ashamed and helpless.

Accelerator, with malicious intent, took advantage of the situation.

"It looks like what you said is really easy to do."

The masked man's face under the mask darkened, still not fully understanding what the opponent had done, but he could already tell that the situation on the island had reached an irreparable point in such a short time.

He hadn't forgotten that, even without control of the island's security system and most of the hostages, he still had the best cards left.

David, who had initially become an accomplice, and Midoriya Izuku and Melissa, who were now too close to move.

He stepped back in humiliation, pretending to retreat, but in reality, he reached out to grab Melissa, hoping to gain more leverage.

"You think you can win against me like this?!"

"Die!"

With his roar, the power of the masked man's Quirk, metal manipulation, exploded instantly. The silver special metal floor turned into large silver metal arms, moving like a person's limbs.

The area where Accelerator was standing also quickly turned the metal floor into heavy arms, trying to entangle someone and force them into a face-to-face battle with the silver metal limbs, as if to land an unexpected strike and defeat him.

Seeing this, someone casually said:

"What? Do you want to shake hands with me?"

"Come on."

Then, Accelerator casually reached out his hand.
