As Mirio blasted Izuku Midoriya aside, Midoriya focused his entire being on using the steel wire to sense and capture Mirio's motivation from all angles.
Just as Mirio was about to launch his attack, All Might, who was bound by steel wires, also underwent a mutation. His muscle system instantly shrank, turning him into a emaciated figure. All Might exposed his long-held secret to the public.
However, because All Might's system shrank rapidly, the steel wires binding him were freed, and All Might, who fell from the sky, instantly transformed back into his usual hero form, just like an inflating balloon. He used the Skytree, whose top had been cut off, as a foothold and leaped towards Izuku Midoriya's location with all his might.
"Final! Smash!!"
This punch, capable of altering the climate, this strike that could shatter mountains, sent Izuku Midoriya crashing to the ground like a falling comet. The earth, blasted into a giant crater by his body, was also affected, and even the three nearby buildings collapsed into ruins.
All Might is willing to expose his true state to everyone, and he is determined to seize this opportunity to completely defeat Izuku Midoriya. This is his choice!
Shocked by All Might's condition and confused about Izuku Midoriya's situation after being blasted into the underground, everyone watched as the smoke from the giant crater dissipated.
All Might and Mirio Togata, who had fallen back to the ground and reached the edge of the giant pit, saw the current situation inside. Izuku Midoriya, whose clothes were now tattered, stood up at some point, his left cheek stained with blood from his head.
"Even this won't defeat him..."
All Might felt a sense of despair. He had used all his strength in that attack, and if even his strongest attack couldn't defeat Izuku Midoriya, then Mirio Togata's current attack would be even less likely to defeat him.
"It hurts so much..."
He wiped his face with his left hand, looking at his left palm, which was now stained red with his own blood, but that was all... The wounds he suffered were constantly healing under his "Super Regeneration" Quirk.
"But now it's about time."
Standing in the deep pit, Izuku Midoriya looked up at All Might and Mirio Togata on the edge, while people curious about the current situation continued to rush towards this place.
"It's time to close the net and end all this!"
Izuku Midoriya pulled out a small round bead from his still-intact pocket, crushed it, and the "Grim Reaper" appeared and sat on his right palm.
"Oops!"
"not good!!"
Upon discovering this situation, All Might and Mirio Togata immediately rushed towards Izuku Midoriya, only to find that he had brought that thing with him.
"too late!"
Midoriya slammed his left palm down on the red start button, and the electronic watch on the basketball-sized metal object immediately began its countdown: 60 seconds... 59 seconds.
“New Hampshire Smash!!”
At that moment, All Might rushed forward and arrived in front of Izuku Midoriya in just one second. Without stopping, he delivered a straight punch that sent Midoriya flying and simultaneously snatched the "Grim Reaper" from him.
"Stop right there!"
All Might was shaking the "Grim Reaper" violently while the countdown on the digital watch continued relentlessly, 58 seconds... 57 seconds.
"Friendly reminder: trying to break it with brute force will only cause it to explode prematurely. After all, the countdown is just a safety avoidance time I created."
"Also, don't even think about throwing it into the air. Unless you can throw it out of the Earth's range in one go, I won't be responsible for any further outbreaks caused by it."
Two intentionally pointed reminders from Izuku Midoriya immediately threw All Might into a panic, completely at a loss. The terrifying weapon that Midoriya had created was simply impossible to handle properly.
"All Might, I'll take care of it!"
He snatched the "Hellbringer" Mirio from All Might's hand and then sped off in one direction without looking back, now in a battle against time.
"Wait! Could it be..."
Mirio Togata's deliberate actions startled Izuku Midoriya. He realized something he had overlooked: how the heroes had handled the "Grim Reaper" properly.
"Don't think about it!"
The mishap in the plan prompted Midoriya to take immediate remedial action. He suddenly flew out of the giant crater, locked onto Mirio Togata, and charged towards a certain direction, forcefully swinging his right hand down.
At this moment, millions of steel wires emerged from the sky and swept down in a massive, overwhelming manner. Izuku Midoriya's goal at this moment was very simple: he wanted to manually detonate the "Hell Messenger".
"Don't forget, I'm here too!"
"Detroit Smash!!"
A raging hurricane burst through, directly repelling the millions of steel wires that were about to pass through. At the same time, All Might flashed in front of Izuku Midoriya and slammed his headbutt into him.
Izuku Midoriya, who was dizzy from the severe head injury, was tightly bound and held by All Might. At this moment, as the No. 1 hero, he had to block the "enemy".
"The million is in your hands now! Hurry up!!"
...48 seconds...47 seconds......
The countdown of "Hellbringer" continues, and this short minute will be the key to victory or defeat for the heroes and the League of Villains. Mirio Togata is rushing towards the destination at full speed, and that person is already waiting there.
In order to deal with Izuku Midoriya's "Hellbringer", Nighteye learned from U.A. High School that the weapon had a 60-second countdown and then arranged a way to deal with it properly. Only one person could handle this terrible object safely.
"Hurry, hurry!!"
He was racing against time, and the countdown on the "Hellbringer" in his hand continued to tick away: 40 seconds... 39 seconds...
"Stop right there!"
Mirio Togata's voice came from behind him. At the same time, a flash of silver light appeared in front of him, and three tall buildings were cut in half. The tilted parts fell directly in front of him, blocking Mirio Togata's path.
Mirio Togata, who was holding the "Grim Reaper" and unable to use "Penetrating" to get past obstacles, was caught up by Izuku Midoriya in time, while All Might was once again entangled in countless steel wires and could not break free even a little bit.
36 seconds....35 seconds....
The time for the "Hellbringer" to activate is still ticking away, and Mirio Togata's path forward is completely blocked. Meanwhile, Izuku Midoriya is catching up from behind, and the heroes are once again facing a desperate situation.
However... at that moment, that person appeared.
"It's not good to vandalize public property, Midoriya-kun."
The obstacle that had blocked the passage of millions of miles disappeared, and a person dressed in an astronaut suit appeared in front of Midoriya. He was none other than the teacher of U.A. High School, the space hero "Number 13".
"It really is you, Teacher Number 13!"
As expected, Nighteye's solution to the "Hellbringer" was to have "Number 13" use a "black hole" to completely transfer it to an unknown location.
As Mirio Togata's "Hellbringer" is about to be sucked into the black hole created by "Android 13", the only way Midoriya can stop it at this moment is probably to strangle this space hero "Android 13".
However, Izuku Midoriya abandoned this plan immediately. Teacher "Number 13" is a respectable hero because his existence has saved countless people in disasters.
31 seconds....30 seconds...After witnessing the "Hell Messenger" completely disappear into the black hole created by "Number 13", Mirio Togata finally felt relieved.
"Izuku Midoriya, your plan has failed!"
"Oh! Is that so?"
Mirio Togata's righteous words were completely ignored by Izuku Midoriya. Plan failed? That's impossible!
"You've taken my 'mercy' and are now gloating? Well then, prepare to face 'cruelty'!"
"The League of Villains, let's close the net!"
At Midoriya's words, Mirio Togata suddenly looked up and saw a huge steel wire net covering the entire city of Tokyo appear in the air and beyond.
PS: (Author's Note)
①: I've finally planted the seed for going to the next world.
②: The "Birdcage" skill is still awesome, I'll borrow it for a moment.
③: As a qualified villain, you generally need to prepare two plans.
Chapter 222 The End: Cunning
"Oh my God!"
"What is that!?"
The helicopter flying high in the sky broadcast the scene to everyone via cameras. People sitting in front of their televisions saw the huge steel wire net covering the entire city of Tokyo. The countless steel wires hanging down from the sky seemed to form a giant birdcage with the city.
"What did you do?!"
With a terrible premonition, Mirio Togata stared at Izuku Midoriya and angrily questioned him.
"Of course, it's my backup plan. You really don't think I only made one contingency plan, do you?"
The answer came from Midoriya, and the steel wire network covering the entire Tokyo area began to operate. As if it had a life of its own, it gradually surged from the outside towards the center, and those who were unable to escape were directly entangled and bound to death by the steel wires.
"What on earth happened!?"
"Run!"
The panicked professional heroes tried to break through the steel wires, but all their attacks were ineffective and even provoked a swift counterattack from the steel wire network, which entangled and bound the attackers.
Not knowing what this wire mesh was all about, and unable to break through it, everyone could only helplessly flee towards the center of Tokyo.
"The primary purpose of the 'Hellbringer' is to evacuate ordinary citizens of Tokyo in a panic. Secondly, it serves as a decoy to attract the heroes' attention; after all, I won't underestimate All Might and you."
"Of course, it would be best if the 'Hellbringer' could be successfully detonated, as that would save a lot of effort, but in specifics, it doesn't really matter."
"All I need is to achieve the result. Whether the operation involves detonating the 'Hellbringer' or me doing it myself... it doesn't matter!"
The entire network of steel wires covering the Tokyo area was released by a clone of Izuku Midoriya, which was replicated using Twice's "2x" Quirk and formed after Midoriya's numerous experiments.
"Quirk Combination" is a technique used by All For One that combines multiple "Quirks" into a hybrid skill, such as the immense power that allowed him to overwhelm All Might in the battle of Kannaujō.
At this moment, the only Quirks of the Izuku Midoriya clone are "Steel Wire", "Black Box", "Multiple Copy", "Sense Enhancement", "Iron Body", and "Super Regeneration".
Twice's "2x" copying quirk is very interesting. He can copy a person's physical body at once, and at the same time, it can also have the same combat power. However, it seems that when facing Izuku Midoriya, who has multiple "quirks", he can only create a copy that can contain a few "quirks" under the extreme condition.
However, this was enough for Midoriya himself. After many attempts and experiments, he discovered that he could use his clone as the "core" and then extend the steel wires infinitely like tree branches, eventually forming a steel wire network that covered Tokyo.
While Izuku Midoriya could do it himself, he needed to find someone who could stand up to All Might and Mirio Togata. Among the League of Villains, no one but himself could confront the two of them.
Therefore, Twice's "double" personality was used to replicate himself in the steel wire network to truly implement the plan. Unless they found out where the original copy of himself, as the "core," was, no matter how they attacked the steel wire, it would be futile.
Meanwhile, Izuku Midoriya himself is responsible for confronting two people that only he can handle: All Might and Mirio Togata.
Furthermore, the steel wire network of the clones plays a very important role in implementing the plan. It is connected with Izuku Midoriya himself, and we will soon witness the true nature of this action plan.
"You bastard!!"
Mirio Togata, realizing what Izuku Midoriya was planning, could no longer remain indifferent. This time, he had to find a way to defeat this most dangerous "enemy" no matter what.
"ofa Infinite Penetration"
Mirio Togata once again used his signature move, merging into the entire space like air, making his presence imperceptible to everyone. This was his "Quirk" of vanishing into nothingness and entering the Phase Dimension, rendering even Izuku Midoriya's wide-range, all-encompassing AOE attack useless.
"Is it that trick again? And Teacher Number 13, please keep quiet for now."
"Penetrating" merged into the void, along with "Number 13" who was preparing to use a black hole to break the steel wire network. Midoriya Izuku slightly hooked his right finger and used countless steel wires to bind the space hero "Number 13". He did not want to see any unexpected situations interrupt his plans.
At that moment, Mirio Togata, in his "Infinite Penetration" state, launched his attack. Instantly, an invisible heavy blow struck Izuku Midoriya. Unable to detect when or where the attack came from, and unable to make any effective defense, Izuku was sent flying by the blow.
Midoriya, who had just steadied himself in mid-air and was about to reinforce the steel wire barrier to carefully sense his surroundings, was met with a merciless second wave of pursuit from Mirio Togata.
He was hit hard on the head, but only 60% of "One For All" could not seriously harm Midoriya, but Mirio Togata's attacks did not stop.
The battle in the Kamino Ward was repeated. Mirio Togashi relentlessly hammered at Izuku Midoriya without giving him any room to think. Mirio, who had dissolved into this space, left no trace. Even Izuku Midoriya was unable to defend himself effectively and could only passively take the beating.
Mirio Togashi launched another all-out attack, and Izuku Midoriya, struck in the chest with tremendous force, plummeted backward from mid-air. After crashing through a building, he returned to his original position, in the giant crater created by All Might's powerful fall. All Might himself was also there, but bound by countless steel wires and fixed in a cross shape like the "Crucifixion of Jesus".
"Green Valley..."
Seeing Izuku Midoriya in a slightly disheveled state, All Might was speechless. In any case, he was now standing from the perspective of a hero and could no longer tolerate his "enemy".
"Heroes have no limits! Even if a thousand or ten thousand attacks fail to affect you, I will continue to attack you a million times!"
"I will absolutely not let your plan succeed!"
From an unseen place came the voice of Tong Xing Bai Yan, and Midoriya Izuku simply closed his eyes indifferently in response:
"I hope you're not just saying that for show."
"Then you'll just have to wait and see!"
Mirio Togata launched another attack from the void, and Izuku Midoriya, who had used "Sense Enhancement," finally found the direction from which the attack was coming. Although he could only sense a general direction and could not even determine when Mirio Togata would attack him, it was enough for Midoriya at this moment.
With his mind highly focused, Izuku Midoriya unleashed his long-planned trump card the moment his body sensed an attack.
"General!"
With a swift, silvery flash of light, Midoriya Izuku maintained his attack stance while blood suddenly appeared in the air behind him, and blood began to flow continuously.
Mirio Togata also appeared behind Midoriya, his right hand covering his abdomen, but blood was flowing uncontrollably from the cut wound.
"How...did you do that...?"
Seeing the cut in his abdomen that revealed his internal organs, Mirio Togata's face showed only shock. He had clearly been in a "penetrating" state, but Izuku Midoriya's attack had truly caused him serious injury.
"You told me your own weaknesses, have you forgotten?"
Seeing Izuku Midoriya pointing to the cape on his hero costume, Mirio Togata immediately understood what was going on, and all he could show now was a bitter smile.
