"Killing this kid would be too easy. Let's brainwash him and turn him into a fighting tool."

Having made up her mind, Big Eyes was about to use her superpowers to pull the hungry wolf down from the wall when the Plague Messenger appeared in front of them.

"It's a 'plague,' is there something wrong?"

"Death...is coming..."

The Plague Messenger, speaking haltingly, swung its Grim Reaper scythe down at Big Eyes, instantly cleaving the leader of the Monster Association in two. Big Eyes fell to the ground, dead.

"Damn it, did you let 'Doctor Hell' go?!"

Even though the Great Eye was cut in two by a scythe of death, its voice still pierced through the corpse. This didn't mean it wasn't dead... but rather that the "Great Eye" form was originally a puppet used to cover up its true form.

The true mastermind behind the "Monster Association," the esper "Psykos," was once friends with Fubuki.

At this moment, the Plague Messenger's scythe was slashing at him. If Psykos still didn't understand the truth, she would be a fool. Why was "Doctor Hell" able to escape from the Monster Association's prison? How did Garou manage to deceive the "Dragon-level" monster guarding the prison? Obviously, it was... "Plague," who had just joined the Monster Association. It was a monster created by "Doctor Hell."

At first, she hadn't thought about it carefully, but Psykos suddenly realized that this guy had caught her attention because of his battle with "Hell Monster". As a result, she invited him into the Monster Association without much thought, which was really like inviting a wolf into the house.

"I really underestimated heroes; I never imagined they could also have a 'spy' infiltrated."

"Kill it, Lord Orochi!"

Having been thoroughly outmaneuvered, Psykos was not about to allow a traitor to live. She issued a kill order to "Monster King" Orochi, declaring that anyone who dared to do such a thing would only face certain death.

However, she underestimated the Plague Bringer's strength. She transformed her body again, her arms becoming a giant snake with dozens of dragon and snake heads. She used the "Water Stream Rock Smash Fist" that she had just learned from Garou to attack her target. However, the Plague Bringer swiftly slashed down with her Death Scythe, instantly severing all the dozens of dragon and snake heads, which fell to the ground.

The Plague Messenger, who had once brutally defeated Garou with the Grim Reaper, was no match for the "Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist." After all, Garou had repeatedly used his fist techniques when he tried to fight back against the two monsters, but in the end, he was still mercilessly suppressed and rubbed into the ground.

However, the Plague Messenger did not continue its pursuit. Its master's order to it was simply to save Garou at the critical moment. So the green Grim Reaper flew over, grabbed Garou who was stuck to the wall, and then, with a single slash, cut through the dome of the Monster Association base, escaping with Garou.

"Damn it..."

Psykos was furious and completely lost, but she couldn't very well order "Monster King" to give chase, since the Hero Association was about to invade her stronghold. At this point, she had to rely on the base's advantage to fight.

At that very moment, the battle on the ground had also ended. The Evil Eye Monster was compressed into a ball by Tornado's superpowers, and then easily crushed into nothingness with a flick of her wrist. The Rhino Wrestler was also slashed into pieces by Atomic Samurai, which fell to the ground. This resulted in the complete annihilation of all the monsters that had come to the ground.

"Shouldn't we be getting ready to go down?"

"Indeed, it's time to go to the enemy's lair."

While Atomic Samurai and Bangoro were exchanging a few words, the ground was cut open, revealing a large gap. The green Reaper, carrying Garou, leaped out from within.

Thinking it was another attack by the "Monster Association," Atomic Samurai was about to draw his sword and slash when Bang stopped him in time. The old man remembered that Izuku Midoriya had called out his helpers to fight aliens back in City A. And at this moment, this monster was holding his disciple Garou in his hand.

After rushing out of the "Monster Association" base and onto the ground, the Plague Messenger stopped when it saw "Silver Fang" Bang and then threw Garou to the old man.

“Master… orders… to you…”

"Hungry wolf..."

The plague messenger, who was being recounted intermittently by Midoriya, sighed helplessly as Bango caught Garou.

Although he was the unfilial disciple who had been kicked out of the dojo, Bang now realized that he had failed as a teacher and that he might not have truly understood his disciple's inner thoughts.

"Kamikaze, you and the others go down first. I'll come back later."

"Is this your disciple, 'Ghost Wolf'?"

With a toothpick in his mouth, Atomic Samurai didn't say much. He turned around and joined the other S-class heroes to head to the underground "Monster Association." Finally, as a colleague, he left Bang with a message.

"You don't have to come. Anyway, by the time you arrive, those weirdos will probably have been killed by me."

"Sorry, old man, I don't think your knife can outrun my fists."

Bang, who was joking and laughing with his old friend, carried the unconscious Garou on his back. Although he was now a very old man, his physical strength was comparable to or even surpassed that of a "Dragon-level" monster.

Not wanting to abandon his unfilial disciple, Bango decided to first transfer him to a safer location in Z City, and then rush back to continue eliminating the "Monster Association".

After Bang carried his disciple Garou away from here for the time being, the Plague Messenger also joined forces with the Hell Messenger.

"Brother, how's the situation down there?"

"Plague...death..."

"Alright, you don't need to say anything more... I'll go down and see for myself."

Even now, the Plague Messenger's speech is still fragmented and its consciousness is completely incomprehensible. Even the Hell Messenger, which shares the same origin as it, cannot understand its meaning. This jet-black bald-headed man decided to refrain from communicating with it further... because it is completely incomprehensible.

With the Plague Messenger and the Hell Messenger joined forces, the two major monsters under "Dr. Hell" were all assembled, and all the monsters on the ground were wiped out. Thus, the battle to subdue the "Monster Association" officially began.

Meanwhile, Saitama and Boros, who had already entered the Monster Association base, encountered their first guard general, "Pochi".

Boros was about to easily defeat the "Dragon-level" monster dog, but Saitama stopped him.

"It doesn't have any weird aura at all; it's just an oversized pet dog, isn't it?"

"As expected of Saitama, this guy is not much weaker than my three former admirals. Since you say it's a pet dog, then it is a pet dog."

"No, I'm serious... it looks exactly like a pet dog."

One of the Dragon-level executives of the "Monster Association," Pochi... his full name is—"Overgrown Pochi."

Chapter 91 Evil Humans

Upon entering the "Monster Association" base, the heroes participating in the extermination operation sprang into action. Those below S-rank were persuaded to remain on the surface, as the upcoming raid was far too dangerous for these lower-ranking heroes to handle.

"I never imagined that I would be working with you one day."

"Humph!"

While the S-class heroes were infiltrating the Monster Association's underground base, the arrogant Tatsumaki teamed up with Hellbringer and the ever-silent Plaguebringer.

Because they were preparing to storm the enemy's lair and face the leader, the Plague Messenger, acting as a double agent, took on the role of guide. Whether it was because she was the second-ranked S-class hero in the Hero Association or because of her arrogant personality, she thought that there was no need to go to such lengths with mere trash monsters. Therefore, it was perfectly normal for her to regard the leader of the Monster Association as her opponent.

However, despite this, the Hell Messenger was ordered by its master to eliminate the "Monster Association," and it had no intention of slacking off, so it accompanied Tatsumaki into the underground base.

Meanwhile, the paths of Saitama and Boros, these two major bosses, were blocked. It wasn't that a powerful enemy was obstructing them, but rather...

"Wang Wang!"

One of the Monster Association's trump cards, a terrifying being known as "Pochi," a Dragon-level monster dog capable of easily annihilating a "Demon-level" monster with a single scorching bomb... It is currently using all its strength to stop the two strongest bosses.

Lying on the ground with its belly exposed, it rolled over and frantically wagged its tail, sticking out its tongue to please its owner... "Pochi" used the pet dog triple attack on Saitama and Boros.

Just now, when "Pochi" pounced on Saitama, this bald hero punched it directly. Instantly, the seemingly fierce Dragon-level monster dog revealed its true form and immediately turned into a pet dog trying to please its master.

On one hand, "Rocchio" has an amazing defensive ability. Even though Saitama didn't use much power in his punch, most "Dragon-level" monsters would be instantly killed if they encountered it. However, "Rocchio" was neither killed nor ran away... Instead, it came over and wagged its tail at Saitama.

"Saitama, it must have submitted to your immense power, right?"

"No way! I don't want to raise a dog, and I can't afford to keep one that big."

Saitama raised his right index finger and spoke righteously, and "Pochi" seemed to understand him. It wagged its tail and shrank to the size of an ordinary pet dog. It kept raising its head, sticking out its tongue, and sweeping its tail on the ground, looking forward to its new owner.

"Uh... even if you shrink, I still don't want to raise you!"

Saitama was already struggling financially, and the thought of having to buy dog ​​food for a dog made him anything but happy. However, at that moment, Boros bent down and picked up "Boros," who had grown to the size of a pet dog.

"What does it matter? Keeping it at home will also keep thieves away, won't it?"

"That's true..."

Convinced by Boros's words, Saitama completely failed to consider how his residence on the outskirts of Z-City could possibly be burgled; at most, it could be a malicious intruder (Sonic).

Boros, who had learned to adapt to local customs even to thieves, suddenly became sentimental and thought of his three former subordinates who had already died. They had begged to become his "dogs" in the same way, so Boros let them join his team... which gradually expanded into the "Cosmic Dark Matter Pirate Crew".

And that's it! "Boqi" used his cuteness and charm to betray his country and become a double agent, holding off the two strongest bosses for nearly 10 minutes. Congratulations!

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

At this moment, in the research institute, Izuku Midoriya is being monitored by a bunch of electronic devices with the help of Dr. Kunos, and he has also put on a helmet full of electronic wires.

Meanwhile, Dr. Genus, who had been called in to help, was attaching patches to Midoriya's back and chest, making him look like a severely ill patient undergoing mechanical modifications.

"Midori-kun, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Hmm! This is the only way I can think of for now. Let's use human technology to help me."

"Seriously, hearing you say that makes me excited too."

Dr. Genus, who adjusted his glasses, was the world's foremost biological genius, while Kunos was a renowned mechanical scientist. The two scientists, focused on mechanical physics and biochemistry, were gathered here for one purpose only.

Izuku Midoriya pleaded with the two of them: "Help me, help humanity... defeat the Earth!"

The Earth's consciousness wants to destroy humanity, which is why all things that hate humanity have been "monsterized." To date, countless people have lost their lives to the disasters caused by these monsters. Even if heroes eventually defeat the monsters, it is all in vain... The lives lost can never be recovered.

Humanity is indeed seen as a "cancer cell" by the Earth... To this day, humanity shows no remorse in its destruction of the Earth's environment. The world's consciousness judges this behavior as "just," while humanity is seen as an evil entity that harms the Earth.

But... Izuku Midoriya is human. He is not a "hero" who can save everything, even evil things... As long as humanity can continue to survive, he is willing to be an enemy of the Earth.

Justice is not eternal; it is only a matter of different perspectives. To the Earth, humanity is a "cancer cell" that threatens its life; to humanity, the Earth is now a home that we must rely on to survive.

Human "cancer cells" are constantly absorbing the life and nutrients of the people called "humans" on Earth, oppressing the living environment of other life forms, and causing this planet to gradually head towards a dead future... But even with such "evil" behavior, Midoriya will protect humanity.

Even if it means constantly draining Earth's resources, even if it means ultimately sacrificing the planet that nurtured us... humanity must move forward into the future.

If the existence of humanity is an inevitable form of "evil," then Izuku Midoriya is willing to become "extremely evil," paving the way for a future for "evil" humanity.

Having made up his mind, Midoriya realized that even Saitama and Boros couldn't help him this time. Even though these two were powerful enough to easily destroy the Earth, what humanity still needed was a safe and secure home.

This is the strongest enemy that humanity must face, a test that even "heroes" cannot help with. So, it is Izuku Midoriya who will face this formidable foe as a human.

"The greatest power that humankind has ever possessed throughout history is the 'wisdom' accumulated by countless individuals."

With the assistance of Dr. Kunos and Dr. Genos, Izuku Midoriya once again entered the dream world.

Chapter 92 ended in tragedy.

Having fallen into a dark dream, Izuku Midoriya, aided by the mechanical instruments that allowed him to reconnect with the "world consciousness" through the remnants of his previous thoughts.

It was the same place as before, the sky was blank, the ground was made up of something tangled together, and the giant that reached the sky still existed here.

"You've come. Are you prepared to grant my request, accept the strongest power, and become the 'King of the World'?"

"........."

Without giving an immediate answer, Izuku Midoriya's mind was racing, analyzing the problem. First, the "World Consciousness" didn't know he was prepared to fight it to the end? But why did it appear in his mind... and even know his thoughts?!

This is a very important issue. If the enemy knows your thoughts and ideas perfectly, you cannot win without invincible power like Saitama. When he met "World Consciousness" for the second time, he found that this guy did not know everything as he thought. Suddenly, Midoriya felt that he had a better chance of winning against it.

"I have a question..."

"Oh?"

Izuku Midoriya, who took the initiative to ask the question, felt a strange "world consciousness." At this moment, the two doctors were analyzing all the unknown data through their bodies, so Midoriya had to stall for as much time as possible.

"Why did you choose me? Even if I'm not from this world, I'm still someone you despise, right?"

"Um......"

Midoriya's question did indeed trouble the "world consciousness" to some extent, but it was also a strange situation for Midoriya Izuku: why was the Earth's consciousness paying so much attention to him? Was there something special about him? ...Believe it or not, there really was!

"You are special; you possess something that no human being in this world has."

You mean "personality," right...?

"Individuality? Is that what you call it? Then let's call it 'individuality'."

After Midoriya brought up the topic, the World Consciousness began to explain to the human it had chosen.

"You possess a unique ability called 'Quirk,' which allows you to strip away the power of 'Monsters' and convert it into your own. With this ability, you can become the undisputed 'King of the World.'"

It says "all for one!"

Realizing that the most dangerous "Quirk" he inherited from that man was the terrifying ability to strip other people's "Quirks" into his own, Izuku Midoriya frowned deeply... He never imagined that "all for one" could strip monsters of their power.

Or rather, Midoriya never actually tried it. After all, it would be too foolish for someone who was no longer a human being to go and conduct such a dangerous experiment.

It's unclear how the "World Consciousness" detected the existence of "All For One," but Izuku Midoriya finally understands why it's targeting him—because this "Quirk" is truly extremely dangerous...

"You are a human who can easily turn anything into a powerful 'monster,' and you can easily strip them of their power; therefore, you are qualified to become the 'King of the World.'"

"That's really enough..."

Izuku Midoriya is completely regarded as the creator of monsters. This "world consciousness" really can choose its people... However, Midoriya has another problem to consider now: how does it detect his thoughts?

When it was in the "Monster Association", the Earth consciousness appeared in its mind, but now in the research institute, it is unable to know its own thoughts, or how the "world consciousness" observes it.

These questions cannot be explained for the time being. Izuku Midoriya raised his head and looked up at the giant that reached the sky. It was the manifestation of Earth's consciousness. But now it was time to explain his choices to the world.

"I will now answer your request to make me the 'King of the World'."

"Is that so? So you finally understand that humans are just a hopeless bunch."
