"After all, the result is the same."
"bodyguard!"
When Shinso made a clear threat, the "agent," sensing something was wrong, shouted loudly, and two men burst through the door into the office.
"Someone's trying to cause trouble!?"
One man was a muscular giant, and the other was a ferocious humanoid beast with a tiger's head.
"Quickly, kill them!"
"No problem, boss!"
At the manager's shout, two bodyguards pounced on Shinso and the others. They had dealt with troublemakers before, but this time they had clearly run into a brick wall.
"That's interesting."
Stein drew his blade from behind and charged forward. After all, Izuku Midoriya had assigned him the task of protecting Shinso Hitoshi's safety, so he naturally had to take the initiative.
The two strong bodyguards passed by Stein, who easily dodged their claws and fists, while blood spurted from each of the bodyguards.
The muscular giant had a deep slash on his arm, while the tiger-headed man had a bloody gash on his shoulder. Although the two of them were certainly capable as the "agent's" bodyguards, they were probably still too inexperienced to match Stein, the highly skilled "hero assassin."
Stein's tongue had already licked the blood off the blade, and the two bodyguards instantly froze, like wax figures, leaving only Shinso to look indifferently at the panicked "agent" before him.
"Alright, now we can have a proper talk."
..................
About half an hour later, Shinso and the others came out of the "agent's" office, and at that moment the "magician" was still tossing a small ball in his hand.
"Speaking of which, Chabi, why did you make me take this guy away?"
As the "magician" kept tossing the small ball, he asked his companion Chabi why Chabi wanted to take away the muscular giant who had been subdued by Stein in one go.
"After all, our two new comrades who joined the League of Villains have shone brightly; we can't go back empty-handed, can we?"
Chabi looked at Shinso and Stain walking ahead. They had put in a lot of effort in this operation, and as senior members of the League of Villains, they couldn't just do nothing, could they?
"This muscular bodyguard's personality seemed to be 'regenerative'; the wounds Stein inflicted on him healed instantly."
“So…” Chabi said with a smile to the “magician”:
"I suppose the leader will find his personality useful, won't he?"
------------
Meanwhile, at U.A. High School, Akira looked at the news with some relief. The news that Izuku Midoriya had successfully escaped from prison was indeed very good news for her.
"They were originally planning to use you when they were storming the execution ground, but it seems they won't need you for the time being."
Faming patted the sealed box next to her, and then, as if she had thought of something, she opened the sealed box directly, revealing its contents.
A silver metal sphere the size of a basketball, with an electronic watch on its front, and a red button at the very top of the sphere. It appears to be protected by a glass cover for safety.
"I remember Midoriya telling me that pressing the red button activates it... and then it explodes after a 60-second countdown, but... why would he create something like this?!"
Akira scratched her head in annoyance. Midoriya hadn't even explained the details of this thing before going to the League of Villains. Now, even this genius inventor girl dared not disassemble it carelessly, lest she accidentally cause an explosion and be finished.
Furthermore... why Midoriya created this thing is also a mystery. It seems that he is indeed more suited to be a scientist than a hero.
Faming believed with absolute certainty... well, that he was a demon scientist.
Chapter 201 Political Correctness
The League of Villains' stronghold is no longer what it used to be... The people who used to hang out here are almost nowhere to be seen. Only Izuku Midoriya is sitting at the bar looking at a thick book. Even the Black Mist has completely disappeared.
"The birth of individuality, the chaos of society... is it the evolution or the destruction of humanity?"
"What seems like a profound truth is nothing but pointless lamentation..."
He closed the thick book and tossed it aside. Compared to the other members of the League of Villains who were busy lately, Izuku Midoriya, as the leader, simply squatted in the base to preview the books.
Midoriya has a great advantage over ordinary people: he has a very clear self-awareness. He dreams of becoming a hero without a "Quirk"... To others, this is a ridiculous joke, but Midoriya is willing to study hard, train hard, and turn this fantasy into reality.
At this very moment, Izuku Midoriya realized the shortcomings of this hero society and that it was necessary to abolish the old system and go further... From slave society to feudalism, from the old era of kings and subjects to the current capitalist society, human social systems have been constantly evolving.
A great philosopher once said that if it weren't for "individuality," humanity might have already entered the space age. However, the emergence of "individuality" led to social unrest and cut off humanity's own potential.
Over the past century... the chaos caused by "individuality" has been ended and order has been rebuilt. However, the shackles of the old era have bound the possibilities of humanity itself. New forces and ways of life have brought about tremendous changes to the entire social system of humankind.
We'll talk about the future path of humanity later. It's impossible to break away from Earth and enter the space age without several centuries of technological development. Right now, Midoriya's focus is on resolving the current social conflicts.
The imbalance of psychology among people is caused by the strength of their individuality, which is the biggest reason for the emergence of "enemies" and "heroes". Some people want to do evil with their strength, while others want to help others with their strength. This is an unavoidable factor.
Midoriya still remembers that guy named Chisaki from the Shie Hassaikai, who fantasized about using Eri's flesh and blood to create a drug that could eliminate "Quirks" in order to break the contradictions that exist in this society... However, this is completely impossible.
Putting aside the fact that he would never tolerate using a little girl for such a cruel experiment, what do you think is the total number of people in the world?
Moreover, no one is willing to give up the power of "individuality"... because in the past hundred years, "individuality" has become an indispensable part of human society.
As for solutions to the conflict between strong and weak "Quirks," Midoriya consulted many reliable solutions, such as:
The United States' "freedom of expression" system
A good example of "quirks" is the gun laws in American society. Midoriya's father works in the United States, so he has a certain understanding of the country's laws, but to be specific... the people are tough and have never changed.
Even with the existence of "personality," it seems unlikely to have much impact on the change of the United States, because Americans can legally carry guns after obtaining a gun license, and "personality" is something that varies in strength... and the vast majority of personalities cannot withstand bullets. When an enemy wants to commit a crime, the first thing to consider is... that a passerby who has been robbed or injured might pull out a gun and shoot you dead on the spot.
So, in the US, those who commit serious crimes are usually supervillains, and naturally, superheroes fight them off. For ordinary people, encountering a "personalized" enemy is basically just being robbed at gunpoint, which feels pretty much the same as before...
But as for allowing all Japanese people to carry guns... let's forget about it. The consequences would probably be no better than they are now, and might even be more chaotic.
Another point is the "legal use of the individual system," a method adopted by the coastal superpower, which is also the most worthy of reference and learning for Midoriya.
The socialist superpower by the sea operates on a system where "heroes" are equivalent to "police officers" and "civil servants," who are directly controlled by the government. In addition, ordinary people who want to use their "quirks" at work must take the corresponding exams and obtain licenses. Specifically, you need to memorize a lot of precautions and laws and regulations. The "quirk exam" is probably the most troublesome thing for people in that country.
The corresponding results were naturally very good. That country had one of the lowest crime rates in the world, making it an enviable country in some respects... Unfortunately, this is an example that cannot be imitated by modern Japanese society.
Because that large country is socialist, while Japan is a capitalist society mainly composed of powerful financial families, one country's government primarily serves the lower classes, while the other primarily serves the upper class. Fundamentally, these are irreconcilable contradictions.
Furthermore, and most importantly, the governments of coastal countries possess unparalleled efficiency and credibility... Any enemy seeking to commit a crime is merely an insignificant insect before the machinery of the state, whereas in Japan, it becomes a truly painful experience...
The mere existence of "quirks" plunged Japan into chaos. If it weren't for the appearance of All For One, Japan would probably have already erupted into a "quirk" war recorded in textbooks.
The Japanese government is truly hopeless. Whether it's the dark rule of "all for one" or the full assistance and support from All Might, the people in power in this country prioritize maintaining their own interests rather than considering the lives of the lower classes. They are utterly useless.
Although Midoriya greatly admires the socialist model of the coastal superpower, he believes that turning Japanese society into socialism is impossible unless the entire upper class is overthrown and removed from power.
This is something you can only think about... It's impossible to actually do it. Japan's social class system has become a fixed and unchangeable pattern. To completely change this deeply rooted and stubborn social problem, it would probably require a lot of bloodshed.
But Midoriya is not such a terrifying ambitious man, and the contradictions in Japanese society are not enough to warrant such a change. In addition, he does not want to see more innocent people shed blood. Therefore... there is only one way.
"We're back."
The portal in the black mist opened, and Shinso and the others walked out. Shinso greeted Midoriya directly, saying that he had completed the task he had entrusted to him.
"Thank you for your help. Now we can proceed with the next steps."
Midoriya expresses his gratitude to Shinso; the League of Villains' true operation is about to begin, an act that will completely change this hero society.
"Have you got the list yet?"
"It's all sorted out. There were a surprisingly large number of people involved."
"Well... after all, there are always many unspeakable secrets behind deliberate crimes."
The list of information obtained from the "agents"—a list of individuals hired to use "enemies" for criminal activities—is the next target of the "League of Villains."
"The real battle is about to begin!"
I stayed up all night watching LGD's TI8 finals last night, and I became depressed after watching the match... I'm almost going to get autism after watching it. Poor FY was treated like a treasure by his teammate Ame.
Chapter 202: Should I get an invoice?
The following day, another major news story that shocked society emerged: a high-ranking Japanese government official was murdered in his home, where the perpetrator had deliberately left behind numerous pieces of evidence related to his crimes.
Hiring "enemies" to kill political opponents, embezzling and accepting bribes in corporate groups, and using their power to protect criminals... These kinds of crimes are not isolated incidents; they can be described as corrupt officials who are black to the core.
The evidence left at the scene was very complete, and all the actions were traceable. In addition, the perpetrators left a mark at the original site, which was a symbol of the "United Front".
This operation was different from usual. The fact that the "Alliance of the Enemy" had taken action against high-ranking Japanese government officials shocked the public. They never expected this enemy organization to be so courageous, now openly clamoring to the Japanese government: "I'm going to rebel!"
Nevertheless, the people were very happy to see this scene. They had long been dissatisfied with the incompetent Japanese government. Although they would not openly support the rebellion this time, it was still quite nice to be a happy bystander.
This time, the Japanese government was truly shocked and furious. Although they usually present an image of incompetence to the people, they are still the government that rules the country. Even if the high-ranking officials killed by the "Alliance of the Enemy" deserved their fate, the actual punishment should be decided by the government itself. The excessive actions of the "Alliance of the Enemy" have thoroughly enraged them.
The Japanese government cabinet was formed with the support of major conglomerate families. Their usual political meetings are all about securing greater benefits for their respective groups. Generally speaking, they often engage in infighting among themselves. However, this time, the Japanese government cabinet officials have to consider one thing together.
The current excessive actions of the League of Villains, and the man behind them named All For One, led these politicians to think of a scenario: in a society where All Might did not exist... the entire country of Japan was ruled by this man in a dark and secretive manner.
At a time when Japan was in a chaotic period of "quirks" erupting, the Japanese government was completely unable to stop the people's uprisings and struggles. With its credibility and ability to execute gradually being lost, it was All For One who stepped forward to end this situation. This man used his "quirk" to stop the impending war and snowballed his own power.
The people who gathered to worship "all for one" were a powerful force that even the entire Japanese government and the wealthy financial families behind them had to submit to.
Therefore, Japan was later ruled by this man, who had absolute power. However, All For One had no interest in governing the country well, or rather, his greatest hobby was playing the role of a demon king and watching the people suffer.
On the other hand, the Japanese government, which acts as this man's lackey, and these zaibatsu families have even less interest in managing society. Their biggest characteristic is that they can always find ways to make money under different circumstances, and they don't care about the lives of ordinary people at all.
In the face of the chaotic social situation, rebels have emerged one after another, and All For One is naturally the target that the heroes want to defeat, but many of them have failed without exception... It's not just about facing this powerful man; the forces under his command are enough to suppress the rebels.
Ultimately, with the appearance of All Might, the forces under All For One were wiped out in one fell swoop. Even All For One himself was forced to flee by All Might. Immediately, the politicians of the Japanese government made a very smart decision: they betrayed All For One and joined All Might.
Just as All For One once said, All Might is capable of controlling Japan on his own. Those opportunistic politicians are all pushovers. If All Might is truly prepared to take over the country's discourse power, what can those powerless guys say? People without great power have no so-called discourse power.
Unfortunately, All Might himself did not have such ambition and courage. His greatest goal was to enable ordinary people to live peaceful and happy lives. Therefore, he fought on the front lines as a hero, fighting against enemies and crimes. This method brought the crime rate of the entire Japanese society to the lowest level. Therefore, All Might is the "symbol of peace" worshipped by everyone.
Allmet proposed to rebuild social order, and politicians who had regained political power naturally did not object. They were even eager for Allmet to reshape the image of the Japanese government, since they would ultimately benefit the most.
Thanks to the hard work of the "symbol of peace" over the years, the image of the Japanese government has been gradually rebuilt, and the lives of ordinary people are much better than before. This win-win outcome was indeed very satisfying at the time.
Unfortunately, the contradictions that exist in society will never disappear. Even if they do not erupt at the time, they will lie dormant in people's hearts until a spark can ignite them, at which point the biggest explosion will occur.
On the surface, the people are keeping a very quiet and obedient attitude, but they are all happily watching the show, and even hoping that the "enemy alliance" will teach this incompetent government a lesson. Your incompetence is not your fault... but if your incompetence harms everyone's interests, then you should step down as soon as possible.
At this moment, the Japanese government, already in a panic, issued a nationwide arrest warrant, offering a tempting reward for all members of the League of Villains. Izuku Midoriya was the top target, with the reward amount several times higher than usual, making people envious. In fact, anyone who could provide reliable information could receive a substantial reward. The meaning behind this was self-evident.
The Japanese government is already very wary of the "Alliance of the Enemy" as an enemy organization because its existence has threatened their rule. Moreover, as politicians who betrayed "all for one," they are terrified that the man from the past will come after them to settle accounts.
------------
Inside the League of Villains' stronghold bar, Izuku Midoriya was still flipping through the book in his hand, as if the League of Villains' big deeds had nothing to do with him.
On the other side, "Hero Killer" Stein was wiping his blade with a rag. This time, he was the one who took down that high-ranking official. After all, he still had the title of "assassin," so he was quite adept at doing this kind of thing.
"Midori, what are you planning to do next?"
When Shinso, sitting next to Midoriya, inquired, he had already extracted a lot of information from his "manager." Currently, high-ranking Japanese government officials have many shady dealings that are not to be seen. If they were to be fully disclosed, the entire Japanese government would probably lose face.
"Do what the enemy should do. This is first and foremost a warning, and then..."
Midoriya closed the books in his hands, stood up, and announced:
"Prepare for battle!"
PS (Author's Note):
800 million DNF warriors: Give me an invoice, both this year's and last year's. Weren't you all happy when I recharged? Well then, give me the invoices, maybe I'll be in a good mood and recharge for the National Day package.
Chapter 203 Stage Preparation
The "Alliance of the Enemy" directly targeting Japanese government officials has amused the Japanese public, who have long disliked these corrupt officials who are all talk and no action. The fact that they were killed after their crimes were proven and confirmed is a delightful and entertaining story.
On the other hand, the Japanese government is starting to lose its footing. This behavior by the "enemy alliance" is not only embarrassing for them, but also a result of the deliberate manipulation of social trends... Now the public is waiting for the so-called national government to make a fool of itself.
Allmite was begged by high-ranking Japanese officials to arrest the members of the League of Villains as soon as possible, and they said they would kill them on the spot if necessary, and the Japanese government would fully support his actions.
"These guys... sigh..."
Although he was somewhat disgusted by the attitude of these Japanese officials, All Might could only sigh helplessly. After all, from the perspective of a "hero," Izuku Midoriya's actions in bringing the "League of Villains" were obviously outrageously wrong. If the Japanese government really collapsed completely... the social situation would probably return to what it was before.
"All Might, this time the situation might be very bad..."
Nighteye, deeply worried about the terrible future he foresaw, now finds everything in the present situation moving in that horrible direction, leaving him both regretful and terrified.
“I know, but I must stand up... because I am the symbol of peace.”
We can't let Izuku Midoriya and the League of Villains continue like this. All Might summoned all the top-ranking professional heroes in his own name, and the Japanese government also arranged for the police to fully cooperate with the heroes' actions. This time, we must take down the League of Villains in one fell swoop.
On the other side, the various financial groups that control the Japanese government behind the scenes are also carrying out their own actions. The "League of Villains'" outrageous behavior has seriously damaged their ruling power. Those in power have decided that this situation cannot continue. Therefore, this time it is not only All Might and the heroes who are taking action, but also the "enemies" who are gathering under the undercurrent.
Why are there so many "enemies" in Japanese society?
