I, without any personality, become a hero!

This is a question that even the planet itself and the world's consciousness cannot answer. After all, before Midoriya came to this world, "the world" had also carried out a plan to completely destroy humanity. The monster it carefully created, "Vaccine Man," was considered the son of Earth. The world itself also placed its hopes on it to eliminate humanity... In the end, it was punched to death by a bald guy who appeared out of nowhere... killed.

"I see... then I'm relieved."

Patting Izuku Midoriya on the chest, he smiled again and replied, "The world."

"As long as that hero named Saitama exists, humanity will not be wiped out, right?"

"........."

The world consciousness is completely silent. What Izuku Midoriya said is indeed true... As long as that bald hero named Saitama exists, it cannot create powerful monsters to destroy humanity... Perhaps even it, as the planet itself, is protected by this hero.

It's like when Boros fought Saitama last time, if that "Collapsing Star Roaring Cannon" had directly hit Earth, this planet probably wouldn't exist now.

"Humanity is courting its own destruction. You should carefully consider my demands."

The conversation had reached a dead end, and "the world" took the initiative to back down, disappearing from Izuku Midoriya's dream consciousness.

When Midoriya woke up from his dream, he saw that Garou was also lying on the stone bed and hadn't fallen asleep yet, so he knew that everything that had just happened was only a short while ago.

"I'll think about it carefully..."

"What do you say?"

"It's nothing, go to sleep!"

Chapter 85 The Real Enemy

One reason for his "monsterization" was finally explained: the "immune system" created by this planet to eliminate humanity. At the same time, another question arose in Midoriya's mind.

Why does this world possess consciousness? Or could it be that this world developed self-awareness due to "monstrosity"?

So at this moment, Izuku Midoriya completely divided "monsterization" into two types: one is "monsterization" created by the Earth after it gained self-awareness in order to eliminate humanity, and the other is... Saitama.

Is Saitama even human? He possesses the strength to easily defeat Boros, the ruler of the universe, which is far beyond human imagination. He is so powerful that no one can compare to him.

Therefore, Izuku Midoriya directly classified Saitama as the source of another kind of "monsterization". Because the Hell Messenger, the Hair Growth Potion Monster, and the Plague Messenger are all monsters born because of Saitama. They are monsters that do not have hostile consciousness towards humans. On the contrary, they are determined to completely defeat Saitama, the source that caused their appearance.

Unable to uncover the truth behind "monsterization" to this day, Midoriya began to consider the matters at hand that needed his attention. First and foremost was tomorrow's siege of the "Monster Association." It was clear that this whole group of monsters had been born from "world consciousness" and were monsters who wanted to exterminate humanity... so he absolutely could not let them go.

Thinking about this, Midoriya felt a pang of heartache. Humans, who were born on this earth, are now being treated as "cancer cells" and eliminated... But the world is right. From the perspective of this planet, humans are indeed "cancer cells" that harm other creatures and destroy the environment.

The world consciousness wants to destroy humanity, and it will continuously create monsters to cause disasters and destruction. Only the complete extinction of humanity is its ultimate goal.

Saitama is very strong; he can defeat any powerful monster with a single punch. But he is just a person, a hero... He can't protect all of humanity at all times, nor can he solve the problem of the origin of monsters... or the Earth that nurtures all of humanity.

The world views humanity as a "cancer cell" threatening it, and humanity will not be complacent and will not voluntarily regress, because as long as human civilization continues to develop, it will continue to extract resources from this planet, which is an unavoidable fact.

At this point, Midoriya must make a choice: either agree to the demands of this "world consciousness," become the "King of the World," rule over humanity, and reduce civilization to a primitive state, allowing humans to live like other animals under the natural law of survival of the fittest.

Either we just watch as the "world" keeps creating organizations similar to the current "Monster Association," and it doesn't matter if they are wiped out by Saitama; it will only try its best to consume them... until all of humanity is wiped out.

This was a difficult decision, with the scales tipping in one direction... while the other side still led to a painful ending. So, Izuku Midoriya chose the third path.

Midoriya stood up, and seeing that Garou beside him had fallen asleep, he waved his hand to summon the "Hyperspace Cube" to open the portal, and then stepped inside.

"Let's take action! We can't hesitate any longer!"

Izuku Midoriya, whose goals were unwavering and whose resolve was in no way wavering, chose the wrong path.

"Protecting humanity"... Even knowing it's wrong, one must act from the perspective of humanity's best interests. This is Midoriya's only... and the only choice he must make.

Because Izuku Midoriya is also human... from his own standpoint, he would never agree with the "world's" actions, even if humanity as a whole is an "evil" destroyer to other creatures and to this planet. Midoriya still wants to protect the interests of humanity itself.

Humanity's future lies in the universe. It is the wisdom accumulated over countless eras that has brought us to the level of civilization we have reached today. We cannot allow any factors to interfere or cause us to back down. Humanity's future will undoubtedly be a journey to the stars and the sea.

Even if it means sacrificing Earth, it doesn't matter! Midoriya made up his mind that he absolutely had to find a way to stop the actions of "World Consciousness".

A world that treats humanity as "cancer cells" will create monsters to try every means to destroy humanity. Even if Saitama can defeat any powerful enemy, it will be of no use, because he, as a human being and a hero, has his limits, just like All Might... He cannot save everyone anytime, anywhere.

This is the most troublesome enemy. You can't physically damage it because the opponent is the "world consciousness," not the planet itself. Once Midoriya understood this, he knew that even Saitama and Boros couldn't help this time. Although these two big shots have the strength to destroy a planet by themselves... if they really destroyed Earth, then there would be no way to play.

We must find a way to seal away "world consciousness" or detach it from the earth... similar to turning humans into vegetative states, that would be the most appropriate approach.

Midoriya, who cannot afford to delay any longer, should immediately return to the research institute to conduct more in-depth research. As for Garou, let him stay in the Monster Association for the time being. It just so happens that Midoriya has an idea that Garou must personally conduct experiments on. Currently, Plague Messenger is also here, so there is no need to worry about his safety.

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

The next morning, when Garou woke up, he was shocked to discover that he was the only one left in the prison... Dr. Hell, Izuku Midoriya, had disappeared without a trace.

It couldn't have been dragged away by the "Monster Association" guys. At the same time, thinking of Izuku Midoriya who had the "Hyperspace Cube" and could teleport anytime, anywhere, Garou instantly understood the truth... He himself had been tricked by that bastard "Doctor Hell" again!

"Damn bastard..."

The ravenous wolf gritted his teeth, but he couldn't stay here any longer. If the Monster Association discovered that Dr. Hell had escaped, there was no doubt that they would target him.

With a few swift movements, Garou broke through the prison's iron bars and charged straight out of the prison passage. He wanted to escape before the Monster Association noticed him. Just as he was thinking this, Garou saw a huge scythe of death stuck in the gate.

A green messenger of death and plague descended and stood in the way of the hungry wolf, which obeyed its master's orders.

"You bastard, why are you stopping me!"

"Master... orders... require you..."

After simply stating Midoriya's orders, the Plague Messenger made its move! It instantly appeared behind Garou, its massive scythe piercing through his entire body.

Chapter 86 Monster Association Extermination War

Without pain or a visible wound, the massive scythe of death pierced through Garou's body as if it were nothing. Although he didn't know what was happening, this "human monster" wasn't going to be polite. Garou turned around and cursed viciously:

"You bastard, what do you want to do to me?!"

"Life...is passed on..."

The life force drawn by the Plaguebringer flowed into the Garou's body through the Grim Reaper's scythe, and the "human monster" immediately felt his physical condition become unusually good. He was somewhat surprised and suspicious of what the Plaguebringer had done to him... and also wondered why it would do such a thing.

"Command... Complete..."

After carrying out the orders given to him by his master, the Plaguebringer pulled the Grim Reaper's Scythe from the wolf's body, then turned and left without a word.

Garou touched his chest and found no wounds. In fact, he felt full of power... It seemed that the Plague Messenger had done something to him. But now was not the time to speculate. He had to escape the Monster Association as soon as possible.

Thus, Garou began his escape, while Plaguebringer prepared to rendezvous with the "Dragon-level" executives. The Hero Association's operation was about to begin.

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

The operation to subdue the "Monster Association" has begun. Many S-class heroes, as well as other A-class and B-class heroes with considerable strength, who had already been notified have arrived. Currently, everyone is gathered at the fence leading to the outskirts of Z City. According to specific information, the "Monster Association's" base is underground there.

"You're saying Midoriya's younger brother has already escaped?!"

"Yes, because Master has discovered very important information and he needs to deal with it immediately, so this operation will be carried out by me and you."

"Honestly, I made them worry for nothing."

Tatsumaki, who had calmed down by holding onto the non-existent chest, had originally planned to rush to the Monster Association's base to rescue Midoriya and, incidentally, completely wipe out the Monster Association that dared to capture her younger brother.

"And this is information on the executives of the Monster Association, the 'Dragon-level' monsters..."

The Hell Messenger distributed the pre-collected data to the S-class heroes, ensuring it was handed over directly to them before the operation to prevent unnecessary information from being revealed should any traitors from the Monster Association be present.

"I'm so grateful to 'Dr. Hell'! He's been a huge help!"

The association's senior members in charge of leading the operation were extremely grateful to Izuku Midoriya. They never expected that "Dr. Hell" would risk his life to infiltrate the Monster Association to help them gather intelligence on the enemy. They were truly moved to tears.

The S-class heroes participating in this battle against the "Monster Association" include Tatsumaki, the main force, and King, the ace hero... However, this strongest man on earth said he wanted to act alone, so he left early.

Other S-class heroes currently include Silver Fang, Child Emperor, Atomic Samurai, Zombieman, Pig God, Superalloy Darkshine, Flashy Flash, and Sexy Prisoner.

Sweet Mask, currently ranked number one in A-class with S-class strength, also participated in this raid, although his personality isn't the best.

"Did 'Doctor Hell' escape? It's unbelievable that an ordinary person like him could escape the Monster Association. Who knows, maybe he's betrayed us?!"

"What nonsense are you spouting, Sweet Mask? 'Doctor Hell' saved the entire City A; he's a hero everyone loves and idolizes!"

Sweet Mask's words were inappropriate, and the association's higher-ups immediately refuted his opinion. After all, the Hero Association had received a lot of help from Izuku Midoriya. Compared to these heroes with twisted personalities who were a headache... Dr. Hell was the S-class hero they could trust.

"Am I wrong? Doctor Hell's heroic activities are all done by 'monsters,' and a bunch of ignorant people are going to worship monsters? It's disgusting!"

Sweet Mask, who pointed at the "Grim Reaper" and said this, is the first A-class hero who is obsessed with hating all monsters... or rather, in his mind, "monsters = evil", so he also hates Izuku Midoriya, the "Doctor Hell".

"I can't believe the scientists who created these monsters. It's possible that 'Doctor Hell' is already in cahoots with the 'Monster Association,' just waiting for us to walk into their trap."

"This kid... is really annoying."

Atomic Samurai's expression wasn't very pleasant. When they first gathered today, Sweet Mask was making grand pronouncements about taking charge of the S-class heroes' actions. Atomic Samurai had originally wanted to teach him a lesson and show him that he should think before he speaks.

As it happened, King arrived, so everyone gave "the strongest man on earth" face and didn't argue with Sweet Mask too much. But now this kid has started nagging again, which is really annoying.

"Who is this kid? How dare he belittle my master?!"

"The number one A-rank character, 'Sweet Mask,' is just like you see him—a very arrogant guy."

"Looks like I'll have to teach him a lesson about fists the size of sandbags!"

The hellish messenger, eager to teach Sweet Mask a lesson for daring to speak ill of its master, was suddenly blocked by a small arm.

"let me!"

The little tornado, whose hair moved without wind and whose body glowed with green superpowers, floated in mid-air with an angry expression on her face. This "Tornado of Terror" stretched out her right hand and activated her terrifying superpower, abruptly stopping Sweet Mask's rambling words.

An invisible, immense force gripped his throat, dragging this top-ranked A-level hero off the ground and into the air.

"This is so annoying! Wouldn't it be better if the bugs just died?"

It was as if he were looking at an insignificant insect, or rather, even though Sweet Mask possessed S-class strength, he was only worthy of being a tiny insect in front of "Tornado of Terror".

Everyone was shocked to see this. Sweet Mask was helplessly choked by Tornado's superpowers and lifted into the air, unable to even utter a word... It was likely that the next second they would see his neck snapped.

"that......."

The association's senior member, whose voice trembled with fear, couldn't bear to see the heroes killing each other before the battle even began. But just as he was about to speak, he saw Little Tornado's murderous gaze and was immediately terrified into silence.

"Stop it, Tornado! Midoriya doesn't want to see you kill anyone."

Fortunately, at this moment, "Silver Fang" Bangor spoke the truth. He was quite familiar with the relationship between Tatsumaki and Izuku Midoriya, so he said something that was effective in stopping the angry "Tornado".

"snort....."

Knowing that the old man Bang was right, Little Tornado snorted unhappily and then threw Sweet Mask into an abandoned building, deciding to spare the disgusting bug's life for now.

Chapter 87 The Most Difficult Enemy to Defeat

Early in the morning, in addition to the Hero Association starting its battle against the Monster Association, Izuku Midoriya, who had been doing research all night, teleported directly to Saitama's house.

"It's Midoriya? Didn't we capture you at the Monster Association?!"

"I don't have time to joke with you, Mr. Saitama. I have something I want to ask you."

"Uh...you go ahead and say it."

Seeing that Izuku Midoriya's eyes were bloodshot and he still had a serious expression on his face after staying up all night, Saitama knew that this was not the time to joke.

Do you ever feel like someone is watching you?

"Yes, of course! Your black-haired guy comes to stalk me every day without a second thought."

"........."

Rubbing his forehead, Midoriya, full of trouble, decided to temporarily accuse the Grim Reaper of wrongdoing and then earnestly corrected and supplemented his explanation.

"Last night, the consciousness of Earth appeared in my dream. It said it wanted to completely exterminate humanity... From what I know so far, the 'monsterization' is also caused by it."

"Um... Midoriya, have you been researching 'monsterization' too much and it's messed up your brain? Shouldn't you go to the hospital to get checked out?"

Seeing Saitama's worried expression, Midoriya didn't want to say anything anymore... It was completely impossible to communicate with him anymore.

"First of all, everything I'm saying is true, Mr. Saitama, please don't interrupt... According to the information I've gathered from the Hero Association, a Dragon-level monster called 'Vaccine Man' was created by the Earth's consciousness."

"Oh? You mean that guy? I think I vaguely remember him..."

As Saitama stroked his chin, he vaguely remembered that he had killed a monster called "Piccolo Daimaō," which seemed to have said that its name was "Vaccine Man" or something like that.

"In short, that 'Vaccine Man' was extremely powerful. The city was completely destroyed, and many heroes were defeated... It was a weapon created by the Earth's consciousness to exterminate humanity. I think it was Mr. King who destroyed it?"

"Hmm...that seems to be the case."

There was no correction, no rebuttal... Saitama had killed far too many powerful monsters whose names he couldn't remember, and King was one of his few remaining friends, a man who could make Saitama feel utterly defeated and invincible in games.

"Earth's consciousness now views humanity as 'cancer cells,' and 'monsters' are its means of eliminating them."

"I see... That does sound complicated."

Upon hearing what Izuku Midoriya said, Saitama also felt a bit troubled. No matter how strong he was, he couldn't possibly defeat the Earth.
