He gestured an invitation, and just as the old team leader was about to let the other team members come in to take care of his granddaughter, the little girl Eri had already tugged at Shinso Hitoshi's sleeve, gazing at him with expectant, starry eyes.

"Um... big brother, isn't Midoriya coming to see Eri?"

"Forehead........"

Staring at him like that by the cute little girl, Shinsoto couldn't refuse at all, so he could only awkwardly say to the old team leader:

"If you don't mind, I'll take care of little Huili for a while. I'll have my partner discuss the specifics of the collaboration with you."

"Then, thank you for your help."

If an outsider had said that, the old team leader would have kicked him long ago. But the old man showed great trust in Izuku Midoriya and his companions, who had saved his granddaughter Eri.

Chabi and the old group leader went to the back room for a detailed discussion, while Shinso picked up the painting that Eri had just drawn and asked her some questions with curiosity.

"Eri, who did you draw?"

"It was Midoriya-nii! Grandpa told me that he helped Eri defeat that bad guy. Midoriya-nii is Eri's hero!"

"Is that so..."

Looking at the child's doodle on the paper, a crooked little green-haired man punches down a distorted, inhuman-shaped thing. It's completely impossible to tell what this drawing is... However.

"That's a really good drawing, Eri drew it very well!"

"Really?!"

He gave Shinso a thumbs-up in encouragement for the praise he received... At this moment, Shinso could also understand why Midoriya Izuku was willing to abandon his future and step into the darkness. If even a child like this could not be saved, what would be the point of being a hero?

Chapter 212 The overall situation

Having left the Shie Hassaikai, Shinso and Chabi had successfully completed the mission assigned to them by Midoriya. Now it was time to return to the League of Villains to report back.

Meanwhile, two other groups were also carrying out their operations.

"Hero Killer" Stain joined the League of Villains after agreeing with Izuku Midoriya's ideals and ideas, and he is currently working with Twice, who has a "double" Quirk.

"Copy OK, now we just wait for Xiaodu to send me a message."

"Your 'personality' seems really out of place, like having another version of yourself appear before you..."

"Yes! That's what I thought too, which is why I killed all the other extra versions of myself!"

Stein and Twice chatted for a bit, while there were two "hero killers" present. Twice, who used the "2x" Quirk, could create an extra copy of his teammate, and because he was not afraid of death, he was ready to take on some dangerous missions.

However, the "2x" clone will automatically deactivate its personality after being hit hard, so in this respect, it is most suitable for Stein and Twice, who are highly skilled in physical combat, to team up.

The two groups assigned to carry out the dangerous mission are Stein and Twice, and another group consisting of Toga Himiko and a magician, while Kurogiri follows behind as an off-site supporter.

Target: The Heroes' Committee!

The mission this time is to capture a key figure. Although the original plan was for Kurogiri and the magician to work together to open the door and steal the person, Midoriya has revised the plan and made it a bit more difficult.

After all, this operation is the clarion call for war, and it can't be too petty. We must let the whole of Japanese society know that this is a kidnapping by the "League of Villains" to launch a frontal breakthrough.

After disguising himself as an internal government official, Toga relayed the information to the outside world after thoroughly investigating the situation inside. Meanwhile, "Hero Killer" Stain, who had a clear understanding of the internal personnel arrangements and environment, immediately began his operation.

The Hero Committee is an important government agency in modern Japan that controls the work of professional heroes. It is responsible for daily tasks such as issuing and revoking temporary hero licenses and professional hero licenses, as well as issuing work orders for commissioned missions.

While it may seem like an insignificant department, the Hero Committee is actually quite important as the Japanese government's agency that controls professional heroes.

The gatekeepers are bored, and they really are. Putting aside the possibility of some idiots causing trouble, the professional heroes who come and go every day already take up most of their work.

As a government agency, the Heroes' Council sees a large number of professional heroes coming and going every day. If an enemy were to come here to cause trouble, they would probably be dealt with by a bunch of professional heroes before they even have a chance to make a move.

"How boring. By the way, why are the two of us standing guard at the main gate?"

"Because our security personnel are actually consultants."

The two bored gatekeepers were complaining. Their job was to guard the place, but it was also to give directions to rookie professional heroes. Just as they were about to yawn out of boredom, they saw a person walking towards the entrance of the Hero Committee. Although the person had a unique appearance, compared to the various oddly-looking professional heroes of the modern era, he was just a bit fierce.

The cloned "Hero Killer" Stein looked at the two security guards with some strangeness. He was originally prepared to take them down directly, but the two guards completely ignored his presence.

"To obtain a hero's license, you must first take a license exam. Please consult the front desk for details."

"To accept a commissioned task, please go to the lobby, where there is an electronic task announcement board."

The security personnel, who were skilled at explaining and giving directions to Stein, didn't even look at who was next to them, acting as if they wanted to get things done quickly and efficiently.

Stein, amazed, simply ignored the two security personnel and strode into the Heroes Committee Center.

A little while later...

One of the security guards, still standing idly at the gate, suddenly spoke up:

"By the way, have you heard any loud noises?"

"You heard that too? I thought it was just a hallucination from standing guard for too long!"

The two security guards exchanged surprised glances. They heard a commotion coming from the committee center, and just as they were about to turn around to look inside, they saw a large group of professional heroes tumbling and scrambling out.

"Enemy...enemy!"

"It's 'Hero Killer' Stein!"

"Run!"

The group of professional heroes, terrified, ran and shouted, while the two security guards stared in disbelief... It seemed that the person who had just gone in really was that "Hero Killer"?!

The Stain clone in the center of the committee spat angrily. This time, Izuku Midoriya was worried about the danger of the mission and asked Twice to use his "2x" Quirk to clone him and launch a surprise attack. As a result, a bunch of pro heroes couldn't even beat this clone.

Now that several professional heroes are lying on the ground under the control of "Blood Clotting," all the other professional heroes are so scared that they run away in a panic. In terms of results, it was a very successful raid, but it made Stein furious... He had actually trusted the heroes this time.

Meanwhile, the magician and the black mist also succeeded. Their combination of opening the door and stealing people was so effective that it was impossible to defend against. Originally, there was the factor of not knowing the coordinates and location, but after Toga transformed into his body and thoroughly investigated all the unknown information, the mission was carried out perfectly and successfully.

--------------

All Might felt a real headache coming on after receiving a call from Officer Takunai and hearing the news... They were still urgently discussing how to deal with and defend against Izuku Midoriya's dangerous weapon... when the League of Villains pulled off another major stunt.

The Hero Committee was directly attacked by "Hero Killer" Stain, and the chairman of the Hero Committee himself was kidnapped and disappeared by the League of Villains.

All Might was truly at a loss. What was Midoriya planning to do? He'd prepared a weapon capable of attacking an entire city, and now he'd even kidnapped the chairman of the Hero Committee?

All Might couldn't figure out Izuku Midoriya's purpose after all these actions, so he could only pass the message on to Nighteye and rely on Nighteye to deduce and analyze Izuku Midoriya's action plan.

Nighteye, having analyzed the entire situation, adjusted his glasses... A weapon with widespread destructive power... The Hero Committee... Could it be!?

Nighteye suddenly realized what Izuku Midoriya was planning to do, and he immediately stood up and told everyone about the terrible situation he had imagined.

"Izuku Midoriya, he probably wants to make pro heroes disappear from this society!"

Chapter 213 is set.

After the portal to the League of Villains' stronghold opened, Stain and the others emerged. When Toga saw Izuku Midoriya, she excitedly pounced on him, only to be skillfully blocked and pushed aside by Midoriya.

"Welcome back. Did you complete the mission?"

"Perfectly achieved! Chief, this is the person you wanted."

The magician tossed a small cylinder to Izuku Midoriya, who caught it and, upon closer inspection, recognized it as the chairman of the Hero Committee, a frequent television personality.

"Well done, now I'll leave the rest to you."

Midoriya tossed the small cylinder in his hand to Shinso, who caught it and went to his private room. The next step was to interrogate him for information.

"Once everything is almost ready, we can move on to the next step of the plan."

As Izuku Midoriya pondered silently, he had always admired and longed for heroes since childhood. However, in modern society, "hero" is just a profession. There may be heroes like All Might who are dedicated to helping others, but most are not like that.

Why would someone like Stein, the "hero killer," exist?

It's not just because modern society has professionalized heroism; among these professional heroes, there are also those who collude with the enemy and degenerate for their own benefit.

Don't judge people's character based on a single group. Those who become "enemies" are not necessarily bad guys, and those who become "heroes" are not all good people. People with these two contradictory views are intertwined and mixed up in their own interests.

After the profession of heroism was established, there were heroes like All Might who fought purely to help people, as well as those who would risk everything and collude with others for personal gain.

What Izuku Midoriya received from his "agent" was not just the shady deals involving hiring government officials and "enemies," but also the despicable acts of professional heroes and enemies putting on a show to boost his popularity.

Izuku Midoriya is familiar with the usual battles for popularity among professional heroes, as he was taught about them at U.A. High School. However, this is considered normal competition in the professional arena and is not considered a violation of the rules.

However... competing for popularity with fellow professional heroes is obviously not that effective. It would be much more effective to put on a show with the "enemy." There are quite a few people with this idea in mind. In this society, it is not uncommon for professional heroes to collude with the enemy.

Such information would not be published on the internet, but the "agent" on the dark side has a lot of evidence of criminal transactions hidden in his hands. He is able to live a prosperous life not only because he is popular with the "enemy", but also because he has a lot of transactions on the side of professional heroes.

Don't be surprised, don't doubt it... This kind of thing has existed in the world since ancient times. Before there were heroes, there were police officers who would fight each other. When professional heroes took over some of the powers and duties of the police, there were heroes and enemies who colluded.

Humanity's inherent flaws will always exist; this is a fact that even God cannot change.

Even so, Izuku Midoriya was still very unhappy... The fact that a guy with the title of hero was colluding with the enemy made him a little furious.

This planned operation will conveniently eliminate these unqualified professional heroes from society.

Midoriya, pondering his next move, silently calculated the steps he had already taken:

"Have the old man from the 'Shie Hassaikai' help make the connections, and promise him the resurgence of the yakuza organization."

"The 'Messenger of Hell' that I've acquired is ready."

"Finally, release the bait to attract all the targets!"

----------------

The League of Villains' renewed operation, or rather, the operation of "Hero Killer" Stain, saw him return to his old ways and kill several professional heroes, but this time his actions were justified.

The intelligence evidence released online shows that these professional heroes colluded with criminal enemies, and the evidence is as follows:

"The enemy robbed the bank and killed many people. The professional heroes on patrol at the time failed to arrive in time. In fact, the two groups were accomplices in the bank robbery."

"An innocent person was killed by the enemy because he declared on the internet that he hated a professional hero, but the professional hero deliberately sent enemies to harm him."

...............

The evidence of crimes committed by the pro heroes eliminated by "Hero Killer" Stain was released online, immediately causing a huge uproar among the public. Usually, these pro heroes would express their dissatisfaction by criticizing the government, but no one expected that there would be such a dark side among pro heroes!

Here, it's worth explaining why negative news about the Japanese government is so widely known, while negative news about professional heroes never appears online.

Although Japanese politicians prioritize their own interests, they are not stupid... The stability of Japanese society today is entirely dependent on the existence of professional heroes. They can allow the Japanese people to vent their negative emotions by calling them useless and incompetent, but they absolutely cannot allow the existence of a hero society to be questioned in the slightest.

The reason for wanting to suppress All Might at the time was because this No. 1 hero was a "symbol of peace" among all the people of Japan, but All Might's excessive popularity affected the stability of the hero society.

If one day Allmight becomes dissatisfied with the status quo and wants to make changes, then it's a matter of a single word from someone causing a huge uproar, which is something the Japanese government is very wary of.

Initially, the Japanese government wanted to change the form of the Hero Law and then deliberately manipulate the situation to question All Might's reputation. However, this was a safe and slow approach that would not cause serious damage to the hero society all at once, and it was entirely within their tolerance.

The Japanese government's goal is to create a situation of antagonism between professional heroes and most of its enemies, thereby allowing the public to rely on the sense of security provided by these heroes, while also enabling it to illegally profit from these enemies.

You think that if you unilaterally improve social order, no one will complain? You're overthinking it... Humans are never satisfied. Once they have a peaceful and good life, they will always find fault with their current situation and want an even better life.

The Japanese government obviously wouldn't do something so thankless. From the beginning, they created chaos in society by controlling a portion of their enemies. But with the emergence of professional heroes, a balance was formed between the two sides. This is because the existence of heroes must be highlighted by their enemies.

At the same time, it fosters a dependency mentality among the Japanese people on heroes. When there is dissatisfaction, the Japanese government criticizes its own incompetence and ineptitude, although this may indeed help maintain the peaceful status quo in society.

But overall... this is the kind of ridiculous idea that only incompetent Japanese politicians would come up with. Instead of pursuing a better future, they are willing to maintain a false peace. Someone will always stand up and break this fragile peace.

Izuku Midoriya stepped forward. He would lead the League of Villains to shatter this false peace and stability. A future without progress will ultimately perish in the past.

PS: (Author's Note)

If a person doesn't pursue a better life, what's the difference between them and a salted fish?

(Although I'm just a salted fish)

Chapter 214 The Beginning of the Endgame

"Let's get started."

"understand!"

In the League of Villains' stronghold, Izuku Midoriya gave his final instructions to everyone. All the preliminary plans and arrangements were complete, and now all that was needed was to put everything on the stage that had been prepared long ago.

"Finally, let this heroic society be completely destroyed!"

......................

The exposure and execution of the fallen professional heroes by the League of Villains has truly stirred up a tsunami in Japanese society. Countless Japanese citizens are now seeking the truth: how many such professional heroes still exist?

Modern Japanese social order was born from the chaos of the old era. The existence of heroes created the new order, but also became a shackle for modern society. When heroism becomes a profession, it no longer possesses greatness and symbolic significance.

The Japanese government relies on the existence of professional heroes to stabilize public sentiment and foster dependence, just as most people worship and hope for All Might, the "symbol of peace." This approach can indeed provide people with a great deal of emotional support and allow them to live in peace. However, everything has two sides.

When All Might is no longer the "symbol of peace," or in other words... as the No. 1 hero's physical condition gradually deteriorates, if All Might were to be defeated by the "enemy" under such circumstances, it would truly be a devastating blow to the beliefs of people in society.
