Contemptuous of these scumbag enemies who have committed heinous crimes, they now cower and hide behind All Might. They have committed a series of evil deeds and yet they still ask the "symbol of peace" for protection. It is utterly disgusting.

"Izuku Midoriya!"

All Might was furious. At that moment, Mirio Togata, who was lying on the ground seriously injured, was being supported by Tamaki Amamiya and Rokuro Hadou, who had come with the juniors from Class A.

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, U.A. High School strictly prohibited students living on campus from leaving the school grounds. Furthermore, the third-year students, Rokuro and Tamaki Amamiya, were tasked with keeping an eye on the students in Class A. Although the school had made ample preparations, the gatekeepers had already colluded with each other.

Having conspired with the juniors in Class A, both Hikari Rokumaru and Amamiya Tamaki ran out together, since Mirio Togata was coming to participate in the battle... which made his two good friends worry.

While Class A was stopping Izuku Midoriya, Tamaki Amakami and Spiral Wave found All Might at the giant crater and also discovered Mirio Togata lying heavily injured on the ground.

"All Might, do you want to fight me to protect those evil enemies?"

Pointing to the remaining enemy group huddled together behind All Might, they no longer dared to face Izuku Midoriya directly, since those who had dared to resist earlier were now piled high with corpses.

"Whether it's true or not, all I want to do right now is beat you up!!"

"Hmm... this answer is barely acceptable."

Seeing Mirio Togata severely injured by Midoriya enraged All Might. Despite Midoriya's anger in the face of the No. 1 hero, he didn't really argue... after all, what he had done had indeed angered All Might.

"You'd better learn your lesson!!"

Enraged, All Might unleashed a devastating punch at Izuku Midoriya. This time, Midoriya refrained from using restraints or other techniques; it was time for a direct confrontation with All Might.

He blocked All Might's frontal punch with his arm, but the powerful and terrifying force still sent Midoriya's entire body flying. At that moment, the buildings in Tokyo were hit again... All Might's powerful force carried Midoriya directly into another building, causing it to collapse.

"Taking a direct hit really hurts..."

As Midoriya stood up from the ruins of the collapsed building, he rubbed his aching arm. At that moment, All Might's body descended from the sky and landed in front of him, the immense force even creating a large crater in the ground.

"Izuku Midoriya, do you know... your current reckless and arrogant behavior is exactly like that man I hate... Is that why he chose you as his successor?!"

"Is that what you think...?"

All Might's words immediately displeased Midoriya. With a wave of his right hand, he bound several steel wires to All Might's left leg, then swung the wire violently, sending All Might flying into a distant building that crashed into it. He then swung his right hand again, sending All Might flying into the surrounding buildings one after another.

"Carolina Smash!"

With his arms free, All Might immediately used a cross slash to cut the steel wire wrapped around his left leg. As he fell, he used the clock tower below as a foothold, and as the clock tower collapsed under the immense force, All Might charged towards Izuku Midoriya like a rocket.

"Missouri Smash!"

Midoriya, who was about to use the steel wire to bind All Might again, was a step too slow. All Might instantly rushed to his side and struck Midoriya's neck with his right palm in a chop motion.

Stop using the steel wire. If he were to suffer a heavy blow to the neck, he might actually faint. All Might was targeting his weak point this time. Izuku Midoriya blocked the hand chop with his left arm and grabbed All Might's right arm with his right hand, preparing to throw him away with a sudden burst of strength.

“Oklahoma Smash!”

However, compared to close combat skills, Izuku Midoriya was still too inexperienced. All Might's downward chop was transformed into a grab on Izuku Midoriya's left arm. Then, with a sudden burst of power from his right hand, All Might used his body advantage to lift Izuku Midoriya up. Instantly, a high-speed tornado was generated, and with the enormous force generated by the rotation, All Might slammed Izuku Midoriya to the ground.

All Might's attack was so powerful that even people far away felt a violent shockwave, like an earthquake. Izuku Midoriya was also in great pain... All Might's attack had truly caused him harm.

"Detroit Smash!!"

Just as All Might was about to launch a fatal attack on the defenseless Izuku Midoriya, he found himself unable to move again, because... the steel wires wrapped around his body had somehow completely blocked All Might's movements.

"Close combat isn't just your forte, All Might."

As Izuku Midoriya stood up from the ground, he realized that during All Might's charged tornado slam, Midoriya had already wrapped steel wires around All Might's body. It seemed that even All Might was powerless to fight Midoriya in his current state.

"Damn it... Izuku Midoriya!"

"Just watch and see how I clean up the garbage in this society."

As he approached the final enemy to be eliminated, Izuku Midoriya's expression remained completely unchanged... His goals and plans couldn't be swayed by a few words of friendship and love; this wasn't some third-rate anime.

They wanted to stop Izuku Midoriya's Wave Spiral and Amakura Ring, but the two upperclassmen were also bound and hung aside by steel wires, just like before. Midoriya didn't have time to continue playing with the heroes now.

Finally standing before the enemies whose faces were filled with only despair, Izuku Midoriya began the final removal of the steel wires.

"If you have someone to blame, blame yourselves for doing something irreversible."

As the last blood-stained corpses lay scattered across the land, Izuku Midoriya turned back to look. All Might's transformation time had ended, and he had reverted to his frail form.

"All Might..."

Mirio Togata woke up, but he was seriously injured and unable to fight anymore. No one could fight Izuku Midoriya anymore.

Feeling that things were about the same, Izuku Midoriya waved his hand, and the steel wire network covering the entire city of Tokyo began to operate. All the unqualified pro heroes who needed to have their Quirks stripped were suspended in the air above the city by the steel wires. At the same time, the steel wires binding All Might's body also disappeared, since he no longer posed a threat to Midoriya.

"All Might, is there anything you want to say?"

As he slowly walked up to All Might, Izuku Midoriya asked, his tone a mix of mockery and wistfulness.

"Is this... the future Nighteye saw...?"

Kneeling helplessly before Izuku Midoriya, All Might's face was filled with nothing but regret... All of this had come true.

Chapter 226 The Endgame: The Final Steps

"It's about time we took the final step..."

Even All Might can't stop him now. Midoriya looks up and sees countless pro heroes in high school who are bound and ensnared by steel wires. This is one of the disqualified ones... a person who doesn't deserve the title of hero.

The next step is to strip these people of their "personality" and permanently deprive them of the abilities they rely on to become professional heroes.

"Midori... what's the point of you doing this...?"

Raising his bowed head, All Might looked at Izuku Midoriya before him, the child he once admired and praised, who had now become a demon lord even more terrifying than All For One.

“True peace will not be achieved through cruelty and violence. You have killed so many people... whether they were enemies or professional heroes. Now people only feel fear for your existence.”

You're right.

Without denying his opposition to All Might, Midoriya, of course, understood better than anyone else the consequences of his actions. Sitting on the ruins destroyed by the battle, he answered All Might's words in response:

"In this battle in Tokyo, a total of 7365 professional heroes, including you, came, while the total number of enemies was 3871."

"Among them, I killed 2731 enemies and 583 professional heroes, all of whom were guys who had committed unforgivable crimes."

“I remember every single crime very clearly, and they will not escape the judgment they deserve.”

"Although I personally executed those who deserved to die, it is indeed as you said. After seeing this, all the people in Japan now only feel fear towards me."

The scenes of Izuku Midoriya's brutal killings were broadcast to every household's television. His cruel acts and the mountains of corpses deeply shocked everyone. After witnessing the Demon King kill thousands of people with cruel methods, can you still raise the banner of worship for him?

People are probably living in fear right now. At a time when even All Might couldn't defeat Izuku Midoriya, if this terrifying demon king wanted to do something even more horrible, no one could stop him.

All Might is a powerful "symbol of peace" because he has built a relationship of trust with people through decades of his actions. Everyone admires and believes in him, and this great hero will surely protect and safeguard peace.

Izuku Midoriya is the terrifying leader of the League of Villains, because he punishes criminals with cruel methods of elimination and has mercilessly killed thousands of people. Even All Might is no match for him now. What could this terrible "Demon King" possibly do to civilians one day? Just imagining it is enough to make people terrified.

Izuku Midoriya was well aware that he could never become a hero like All Might, worshipped by countless people, but even so, he carried out his plan without hesitation.

"What society needs is not a group of heroes to be worshipped, but an environment where people can live in peace."

"Let me utterly destroy the current state of professional heroes."

Midoriya raised his right hand towards the sky, while countless steel wires descended from the high-altitude replica and wrapped around Midoriya's right hand, harmoniously integrating with it.

One's own body can resonate with the clones created by Twice, and the "all for one" personality can also be released and utilized through the steel wire network. This way, all those whose personalities need to be stripped can be dealt with at once, while avoiding the consequences of being overwhelmed by too many "personalities".

There is a limit to the number of "Quirks" a person can possess. Even All For One can only accommodate a maximum of a few dozen "Quirks". Once the number of "Quirks" exceeds the capacity of the individual, the individual will become a monster like a "Nomu".

Midoriya uses clones to carry all his "Quirks," and when the burden becomes too heavy, he only needs to scatter his clones, intending to let all these "Quirks" dissipate into the world and disappear completely.

"Oh, right! All Might, let me tell you something else."

While preparing to strip away his "Quirk," Midoriya told All Might all of his plans.

"Do you know why I'm the only member of the League of Villains in Tokyo this time?"

"The others are all working on another important operation, after all, we're in Tokyo."

"To completely dismantle this hero society, it's not enough to simply eliminate the excessive burdens; we also need to eradicate the root causes through a 'coup.'"

The Japanese government's defenses are extremely weak today, as Tokyo has been chosen as the battlefield and the government has been forced to relocate its headquarters there.

Similarly, the League of Villains split into two groups: Izuku Midoriya was responsible for confronting All Might and Mirio Togata, who were the main targets; while Shinso and the others went to raid the Japanese government to carry out this "coup" operation.

"You will not succeed in this endeavor!"

"Oh? Do you think I'm a fool who acts without a plan?"

Izuku Midoriya was angrily rebuked by All Might, who was powerless to do anything about it, but he didn't care at all. In the end, it was all a predetermined fate that could not be changed.

"Aside from Endeavor, the No. 2 hero, the other top ten professional heroes—'Street Fighter,' 'Dragon Hero,' 'Paper Peak Archer'... these heroes who didn't appear on this battlefield, were they all forced to perform defensive duties in response to the Japanese government's call?"

"The ideas and judgments of these politicians are not wrong, but unfortunately they underestimated the greedy people among their own people."

All For One, this old guy, still has pawns to use in the Japanese government. After all, as the dark overlord of the past era, it's not surprising that there are still people loyal to him. Midoriya, through his connections with these internal politicians, uses incriminating evidence to threaten and coerce, and uses benefits to buy people's hearts. Now, quite a few people have joined his camp.

"Those guys are far more despicable and shameless than you can imagine, but they are also invaluable and useful pawns."

"If my plan fails, I'll drag them all down with me. To protect their own positions and interests, they have to cooperate with me. And if the 'coup' succeeds, they'll be the ones who profit. These greedy politicians are incredibly daring gamblers."

By drawing some Japanese politicians onto his side, Izuku Midoriya orchestrated a "coup" from within, then had other members of the "League of Villains" cooperate in the breakthrough—a truly brilliant and deadly backstab.

"you........"

At this moment, All Might was speechless. He had underestimated Izuku Midoriya from beginning to end... thinking that he was just a child who did things recklessly. In the end, it turned out that his own thinking was too naive.

“All Might, the man who is all for one once told me something. He said that your ideas are too idealistic and beautiful... This society cannot be governed by the banner of order by just one person.”

"If you had used your power to forcibly reform the Japanese government, perhaps there wouldn't be so many enemies in Japanese society today."

"No... If I did that, how would it be any different from the actions of that man, 'All For One'..."

All Might, head bowed in anguish, resists everything about All For One. His master and many friends were killed by that man, so even though he has the power to defeat All For One, All Might fundamentally avoids doing the same thing as that man.

"That's not how it is... No matter what All Might does, you're still just everyone's All Might."

The sudden, gentle comfort made All Might look up to see Izuku Midoriya's warm smile, a genuine smile that came from the depths of his heart.

"Power and actions have always varied from person to person; there is no possibility of them being the same or consistent... The man who controls Japanese society, all for one, does so simply because he wants to see the current state of chaos and destruction."

"Similarly... All Might, everything you've done is just to help everyone live a better life, isn't it?"

"No matter how strong a person is, their strength has its limits. You should consider relieving yourself of this burden and seeking help from others."

"Midori... boy..."

All Might opened his mouth, speechless, as he called out the name he used to use for Izuku Midoriya after so long... In truth, Midoriya's actions were right, but his own mental shackles bound him, and All Might couldn't face the destruction of the order he had painstakingly built over decades.

"Alright... it's almost time for the final step, isn't it?"

Gazing at the steel wire network in the sky, Izuku Midoriya could feel a terrifying pulse about to erupt; the stripping of his "Quirk" was now complete.

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

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Japanese government, which was relocating key locations for land acquisition, had already completed its "coup" plan.

"Your 'personality' is terrifying..."

"You flatter me! It's all thanks to everyone's help."

"Help my ass... You took care of all the heroes by yourself."

Chabi, speechless, had a fairly decent relationship with Shinso within the League of Villains. However, during this "coup" operation, even the top ten Pro Heroes, whom Izuku Midoriya couldn't defeat in a short time, were all betrayed by Shinso using a combination of his Quirks of "confessing his true feelings" and "brainwashing."

With the help and assistance of traitorous politicians, infiltrating and carrying out the backstabbing was incredibly easy, and this "coup" was accomplished without bloodshed.

Chapter 227 The End: The Reign

As the intense pulsation began, everyone seemed to look up at the steel wire network in the sky, and the steel wire network that had been binding and binding the pro heroes, now stripped of their "quirks," loosened and retracted.

The steel wire network covering the entire city of Tokyo rapidly contracted and coalesced, finally revealing the original form of Izuku Midoriya. At this moment, he exuded a terrifying and frightening dark aura, making it impossible to find any resemblance to the real Izuku Midoriya.

At that moment, countless steel wires appeared and wrapped around Midoriya's clone, pulling him violently to the ground. At the same time, even more steel wires appeared out of nowhere and tightly wrapped around the clone.

"As expected, the load of over a thousand 'personals' is enormous; it's almost about to go berserk."

There are thousands of professional heroes present who have been stripped of their "Quirks," and the clone of Izuku Midoriya, who has taken on too many "Quirks" at once, is also on the verge of going berserk.

"However, the time is almost right; it's time to put an end to all of this."

Rising from the ruins, Izuku Midoriya walked to All Might and helped the hero who had knelt before him to his feet, even though All Might was now frail and weak... but All Might was still All Might.

"All Might, I know you still have strength left. As the strongest hero of the 'Symbol of Peace,' how could you possibly be so easily defeated by an enemy like me? You should possess a final, deadly strike that could defeat me in one blow, right?"

"However... now you understand that even if you defeat me, you cannot change the reality that this hero society is dying, so you give up on this hopeless outcome."

"But... the 'Symbol of Peace' cannot fall yet. I need your help to do one last thing."
