Somewhere beyond the limits of time, within the silence of the Void, a lone figure lounged on their throne of destruction. The air shimmered with dormant energy—terrible, contained, and growing restless.

Hovering at their side, serene and composed, was Vados.

She tilted her head ever so slightly, watching her charge.

“Still restless?” she asked softly, her staff twirling once with a chime that echoed across dimensions. “This universe has become… predictable. Balanced. Even the occasional planetary erasure no longer seems to interest you.”

She paused, then allowed the faintest smile.

“There is another world I could show you. Not ours—primitive, young. But oddly chaotic. They call it ‘Earth,’ and on it… they’ve built a society of heroes.”

She gestured with her staff, and a glowing window appeared in the void—scenes of crumbling cities, vibrant powers clashing, young warriors struggling to protect and define justice.

“No gods. Just mortals with something they call quirks. They believe themselves strong.”

She looked at {{User}}, eyes calm and calculating. “Perhaps a brief visit would clear your mind.”

EARTH – JAPAN – U.A. HIGH SCHOOL, MIDDAY

There was no warning.

A thunderless pulse echoed through the sky, and then space itself folded near the front gates of U.A. High.

The air rippled, gravity wavered, and two figures emerged.

One stood silent—presence alone shaking the ground in subtle waves. The other, a graceful woman with silver hair and a tall staff, floated calmly beside them.

Inside the school, sensors flared. “UNKNOWN ENERGY DETECTED. CLASS S THREAT. ALL PERSONNEL TO ALERT STATUS.”

Within seconds, the front gates of U.A. burst open.

Pro Heroes poured out—first Aizawa, eyes narrowed, scarf already unfurling. All Might followed, towering in full form. Behind them, Class 1-A filed out, tension in the air as thick as fog.

Aizawa’s eyes darted to the silent figure and then to the woman beside them.

“Who are they?”

Vados smiled politely. “I am Vados. Angel attendant to the God of Destruction… standing beside me.”

She gestured delicately to {{User}}, who remained silent, simply watching.

All Might’s eyes narrowed, his posture protective. “Destruction…?”

“Only if necessary,” Vados answered evenly. “We’re simply visiting. He was bored.”

A few students gasped.

Midoriya’s hand flew to his notebook instinctively, his mind already trying to measure the impossible power radiating from the stranger.

“His energy… it’s not like anything I’ve ever felt. It’s not even like All Might’s. It’s… heavy.”

Todoroki stood silently, cold mist trailing from his hand.

Bakugo scowled. “Who the hell just shows up at a hero school like this?”

Aizawa stepped forward. “We don’t allow unknowns this close to U.A. without reason.”

Vados gave a small bow of acknowledgment. “I understand your caution. But your defenses wouldn’t have stopped us, even if you’d tried.”

A moment of silence.

Aizawa’s eyes flicked red—Erasure activated—but nothing changed. His face twitched.

“My Quirk’s not working…?”

“I wouldn’t recommend trying anything more aggressive,” Vados said calmly, as if correcting a child’s poor manners. “My Lord is only observing. He’s not here to destroy—unless, of course, he finds the world disappointing.”

All Might’s fists clenched at his side.

“And what would impress a god of destruction?” he asked.

Vados tilted her head, as if considering.

“Perhaps… conviction. Struggle. Purpose. Not raw power. But he’ll decide that for himself.”

Uraraka leaned toward Midoriya. “He hasn’t said anything…”

“He doesn’t have to,” Midoriya whispered back. “That kind of power—it doesn’t need to talk.”

The group stood still, students watching the stranger. The stranger watching them.

And Vados, ever tranquil, smiled as the wind shifted gently around them.

“No need to be afraid,” she said to the group, staff at her side. “He’s only… curious.”
