"I lost..."
After saying this, Tongxing Baiwan could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground. The open wound in his abdomen had caused him to lose too much blood, and he would probably die from blood loss in a little while.
"No... I just cheated."
Izuku Midoriya shook his head, denying his own identity. He then beckoned with his right finger to have the steel wire stitch up Mirio Togata's wound. As a worthy opponent and hero, Midoriya could not allow Mirio Togata to die here.
The "Death Gloves" were what delivered the fatal blow to Mirio Togata. Midoriya had Kurogiri obtain fibers woven from Mirio Togata's hair from the place where the battle suit was made, and then modified them into steel wire before adding them to his own equipment. Just as Midoriya said... he used inferior and underhanded methods, but this was also the only way he could defeat Mirio Togata head-on.
"Well... it's time to move on to the next stage."
Chapter 223 The Endgame: Variations
"million!"
Watching Mirio Togata fall, All Might's eyes turned red, but no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free from Izuku Midoriya's steel wire restraints. Moreover, this time it was a multi-layered restraint specifically designed to prevent him from breaking free, and it was almost impossible to break the steel wire shackles with brute force alone.
"All Might, don't worry, Mirio Toru will be fine. I won't harm you or any of the other true heroes."
"After all... my only target is that group of incompetent guys."
After saying this, Izuku Midoriya turned and left; it was time for him to act as the executioner.
"No, stop right now!"
Despite All Might's desperate cries, Midoriya's steps remained unwavering as he walked away. He was no longer the soft-hearted man who dreamed of becoming a hero.
"So...where are those filthy rats hiding now?"
As Izuku Midoriya muttered to himself, a steel wire descended from the sky and connected to him. Through the resonance of his clone, Midoriya learned about the current situation in Tokyo.
Many professional heroes are now trapped and unable to move by the steel wire network that is spreading inward. However, most of them are fleeing towards the inner center. It is indeed a wise choice to avoid being captured by the steel wires without knowing the current situation, but isn't it also part of Izuku Midoriya's plan?
Having sensed the target group he was looking for, Midoriya simply wore a terrifying smile and moved forward. It was time to eliminate the threat.
The enemy groups lurking in Tokyo were partly recruited by the Japanese government, and partly there to take advantage of the chaos for their own benefit. But all of them shared a common goal: to prevent the "Alliance of the Enemy" from continuing to exist.
The League of Villains, led by Izuku Midoriya, greatly threatened the survival space of the evil enemy groups. After all, no one wants to suddenly lose their head and die a miserable death. After the first time the enemy groups gathered to try to overthrow the League of Villains but were crushed by the "Steel Wire Reaper", these enemy groups, which were all focused on their own interests, went into hiding to survive.
After the Japanese government rallied and gathered them together, the enemies also formed a group. They infiltrated Tokyo in advance, intending to take advantage of the heroes and the League of Villains being exhausted in their battle and launch a surprise attack, hoping to outmaneuver them.
But the battle between the heroes and the League of Villains was beyond their expectations from the very beginning. It was a completely different level of fighting power, and they absolutely could not show their faces and risk death... They might as well just hide like turtles and get through it.
Just as the enemy group was thinking this, a network of steel wires covering the entire Tokyo area appeared, deliberately driving everyone toward the center.
They tried everything – frontal assault, digging tunnels, and even going through the sewers – but no one could break through the steel wire network. Anyone who got close would be entangled and captured by the countless wires. With no other options, the enemy group could only flee towards the center.
At this very moment, the professional heroes are facing off against the enemy group. With the steel wire network covering the entire Tokyo area, everyone has no choice but to flee to one place, so it is not surprising that the scene before us has occurred.
Many of the fugitive, vicious criminals were recognized by the professional heroes, but they dared not make a move due to the enemy's overwhelming numbers. The same was true for the enemy group on their side... There were quite a few professional heroes present, and if a fight broke out, they might be the ones who suffered.
"It seems everyone has arrived; it's time to settle the score."
The sudden appearance of the figure drew the attention of all the professional heroes and enemies present, and immediately an enemy trembled as he called out his name:
"Steel...steel wire Grim Reaper!"
"It's Izuku Midoriya!!"
The equally shocked professional heroes saw the leader of the League of Villains appear before them. Had All Might been defeated?!
"Don't be so surprised, it's you first!"
The enemy who trembled and cried out the name "Steel Wire Reaper" was instantly split in two by Izuku Midoriya's flick of his finger, his internal organs and blood splattering all over the ground.
“I know you have a history of burglary and even tried to stop your husband from killing you, but you escaped without being caught.”
With a flick of his finger, he instantly killed an enemy. While everyone present was filled with utter shock and fear, Izuku Midoriya smiled and slowly continued his narration:
“I remember very clearly the crimes of all the enemies present, and there are even some scum who don’t deserve to be called heroes, so... isn’t it time to settle the score?”
Although there were nearly ten thousand professional heroes and enemy groups present, they trembled under the words of Izuku Midoriya, because the person standing in front of them at this moment was not a person, but a "Shinigami"!
"Don't be afraid, he's alone! Let's all attack together!"
The person who had just shouted those words had his head severed by a sharp steel wire in an instant, and he didn't even know what had happened until the moment he died.
But because of a reminder, the enemy group, which dared not surrender, launched a general attack, seemingly emboldened by their sheer numbers.
However... all of this was a laughable delusion. Even All Might couldn't defeat Izuku Midoriya at his full strength; all he was doing at this moment was a one-sided massacre.
He clearly understands each person, reviews all their information in his mind, and punishes those who cross his bottom line with death, while those who don't deserve to die are bound with steel wires and hung in mid-air until the very end, when they are stripped of their "personality".
The ground was littered with corpses. The enemies who wanted to defeat Izuku Midoriya had now piled up like mountains and turned into dead bodies. Among them, the pro heroes who had fallen and committed serious crimes were also captured by Izuku Midoriya and all of them were sentenced to death.
Unqualified professional heroes only bring destruction and chaos; they are unwanted burdens on society. This is an extremely cruel treatment process.
Only by eradicating the source of the epidemic can this diseased society be slowly healed and restored, no matter how bloody and cruel the process may be, Izuku Midoriya is willing to do it.
"Please...don't kill me!"
An enemy who had given up hope knelt before Izuku Midoriya, begging the "Grim Reaper" before him to spare his life.
However, as the silver light of the steel wire flashed by, the enemy's head fell directly to the ground, the terror still lingering in his eyes.
"Go to hell and tell those you have harmed."
After saying this indifferently, Midoriya turned to look at the enemies who were huddled together. At this moment, the corpses behind Midoriya Izuku were piled up like mountains. In a short time, most of the unqualified guys had been eliminated by him. What was left was just a group of people who had been scared out of their wits and dared not resist.
"All that's left to eliminate are you guys."
Midoriya's words were like a death knell's declaration, a desperate enemy who could only sit and wait to die. But then someone suddenly appeared and attacked Midoriya.
This time, Midoriya neither dodged nor retaliated, after all, he knew the person who attacked him all too well, Bakugo Katsuki.
A powerful explosion struck Izuku Midoriya's face, but Bakugo's attack was now just a gentle breeze to him, barely causing any pain.
"Izuku Midoriya, you bastard! You've gone too far these days!!"
"I didn't expect you to come here, but why did you stop me?"
As the smoke from the explosion cleared, Midoriya asked Bakugo Katsuki with some confusion why he had also come to Tokyo and even appeared at this moment to stop his actions.
"It's not just me, everyone's here!"
As Bakugo finished speaking, those hidden within the Pro Hero group revealed their true identities: Akira Hata, Shoto Todoroki, Yuu Takeyama, Ochako Uraraka... and most of the students from Class A of the Hero Course also arrived.
Chapter 224 The Finale: Pink Hair Turns to Black
"Um... Midoriya-kun... you've gone a little too far. These people don't dare to resist you anymore... can you not kill them?"
The timid Ochako was deeply shocked to witness Izuku Midoriya kill so many people. After all, the educational policy of U.A. High School was only to capture enemies. The mountains of corpses at the scene were chilling even to the bone for experienced professional heroes, let alone these students who had not yet graduated from U.A.
Although they came here to support Midoriya, after witnessing most of the enemies being mercilessly slaughtered and the remaining enemy groups having lost the will to resist, and with Midoriya Izuku still preparing to completely eliminate them, Bakugo Katsuki finally couldn't help but stand up.
"Although I also loathe these guys, they no longer have the courage to resist you, so there's no need to wipe them out!"
"Not bad, Bakugo... no, you've definitely grown a lot compared to before. I acknowledge that you are now an outstanding hero."
Faced with Bakugo Katsuki's angry accusations, Midoriya Izuku praised Bakugo with great satisfaction, because compared to the Bakugo who used to only shout "Shinai," he had now truly grown significantly in spirit.
"I don't need you to say that! My dream is to become a hero who surpasses All Might. Since you can even defeat All Might now, then Izuku Midoriya! You are now my target!!"
Katsuki Bakugo, who didn't hold back and launched an explosive attack on Midoriya, is simply a straightforward person. He doesn't care about reasoning and just takes action when he sees something he doesn't like.
When the enemy group recklessly attacked Izuku Midoriya and was brutally killed, Bakugo could watch the show... because that was the price of overestimating himself and challenging the strong; but Bakugo couldn't stand by and watch the remaining enemies, who had now lost the courage to resist, and Midoriya's plan to wipe them out with the rest of the group.
Katsutoshi Bakugo has realized his mistake. The pride he sought from bullying the weak since childhood was nothing but worthless arrogance.
Having realized his mistake and dared to repent, Katsuki Bakugo saw Izuku Midoriya behaving the same way he used to and finally couldn't help but show up to stop him.
"What's the difference between you and the old me? Do you derive pleasure from torturing the weak?!"
“You’re right. Seeing the despair in the eyes of these cowardly, homeless dogs makes me very happy.”
"You bastard!!"
Bakugo, gritting his teeth, cursed angrily. He immediately closed in and threw a punch at Midoriya's face, but before his fist even touched the target, he was already unable to move... Countless steel wires appeared and tightly bound Bakugo.
"Also, don't forget one thing: you are the 'hero,' and I am the 'enemy.'"
Heeding Midoriya's warning, he continued forward without looking back, leaving Bakugo furious but unable to break free of the steel wire.
"I'm sorry, Midoriya, but I had to stop you after all."
"Boom... I knew you would do this."
Looking at Todoroki Shoto in front of him, Midoriya Izuku waved his hand helplessly. Bakugo Katsuki's actions would definitely influence everyone, after all, heroes are all such fools.
"Midori-kun, I really have to stop you. I can't let you continue doing bad things."
"You make it sound so true..."
Yuu Gakuyama, who also came from the same group, and Ochako, not wanting to be left behind, came to stand in front of Midoriya.
"Midori-kun, we can't make the same mistake again!"
"Are you just making up some excuse to cause me trouble?"
Izuku Midoriya was speechless with disbelief when another person came to his side.
"Little Midoriya~ Killing too many people is no good, you'll get addicted to it."
"Do you think I'm a smoker...?"
With his usual eccentric behavior, Midoriya was starting to get a headache... These guys were definitely just there to cause him trouble.
Furthermore, most of the Class A students who arrived here blocked Midoriya's path, effectively shutting it off completely.
"Let's run now and get to All Might... This is all we can do."
Class representative Tenya Iida said to the already desperate enemies, "Regardless of whether what we are doing now is right or wrong, as a student who strictly abides by the rules of U.A. High School, Iida can only make the same choice as his classmates."
Helping the enemy is wrong, but Izuku Midoriya's act of killing all the enemies is also wrong. Perhaps many of them really deserve to die, but it is wrong to kill them all.
Of course, no one can give the best answer to how to do this; it's just that everyone has different internal standards of judgment... Midoriya chose to eliminate all enemies who crossed the line, while the heroes chose to abide by the law and show mercy by giving them a chance to repent.
Tenya Iida's advice had an effect. As if they had found a savior, all the enemies rushed to All Might. If they could free the bound No. 1 hero, they might still have a chance to live.
The most ridiculous thing is that a group of enemies who hate All Might to the core usually turn to this No. 1 hero as their savior when they are about to die.
Furthermore, having learned that Izuku Midoriya now possessed extraordinary defensive capabilities, the group immediately launched their full-force attacks against him without hesitation.
"Hey...you guys, I'm getting angry!"
He shredded the giant iceberg of Shoto Todoroki into ice flowers, dodged the stomp of Yuu Takeyama as it grew to gigantic size, and evaded Ochako's sneak attack that tried to erase his gravity... After a series of attacks, Izuku Midoriya decided not to continue playing with them.
With a wave of his right hand, all those who attacked him were bound and entangled in steel wires. In the end, Midoriya only needed to move his finger to deal with these troublemakers.
"Please be quiet for a moment, I'm not finished with my work yet."
Looking at the group of people now entangled and suspended by steel wire, it did indeed delay Izuku Midoriya for a while, since he couldn't directly take action against these friends because of old friendships.
"Did they go to Allmight's place?"
The remaining enemies were powerless to resist, and even if they did manage to rescue All Might, it would be meaningless. At this point, the No. 1 hero was no longer a match for Izuku Midoriya.
Just as he was about to step into the green valley emerging from the giant pit, he found himself unable to move. He immediately looked down and saw that he was standing on purple grape balls.
"Mineta-kun...when did you stick this on me?"
Looking at the grapes that were almost bound like mummies with steel wire, Midoriya asked them, both amused and annoyed, that he hadn't even noticed he'd been caught in the trap.
"It's not my fault, it was Famu Ming who stuck it there!"
"Hair-eyed!?"
Looking at the only one not bound by the steel wire, Hairi Akira was making an apologetic gesture, sticking out her tongue and saying:
"Recently, I received a request from the students in Class A to modify their combat suits, so I tried making a special piece of equipment for Mineta—a 'bouncy gun' that can shoot sticky balls."
"It's perfect to use you, Midoriya, for the experiment~~ It's alright, isn't it?"
"........."
At this moment, Izuku Midoriya realized one thing: the so-called pink-haired girl who is actually black inside...
Chapter 225 The Endgame: The Foreseen Future
Although it took a little time, the sticky balls of the colored grapes didn't really cause any trouble for Midoriya. When he arrived at the giant pit, he saw that All Might had already broken free from his steel wire bundle.
"Since you were able to rescue All Might, it seems you're not entirely useless trash after all."
