Chapter 57 Boss Battle (Part 1)
“Power itself is neither good nor evil; those who are powerful are heroes when they do good and enemies when they do evil.”
Seeing Izuku Midoriya and All Might ready for battle, Kaiu Akaya took a step forward. The shadow beneath his feet transformed into wisps of black smoke that rose from his feet. This boss of the League of Villains didn't immediately attack; instead, he slowly began to speak:
"The existence of 'individuality' is like placing a weapon in everyone's hand; some may receive a toy gun, while others may receive a nuclear bomb."
"All Might, you must know this very well. The Quirk 'One For All' itself originated from 'All For One.' Teacher uses his Quirk to satisfy himself, but you choose to use your power to serve the public."
In front of AFO, without any politeness, Akaya Kaion only addressed him as "teacher" in words, but in reality, Akaya Kaion, who was just casually praising All Might, had no intention of giving AFO any face.
"This already unfair world becomes even more unfair after the emergence of 'Quirks,' cutting off a person's potential because of a boring 'Quirk.' This is the ridiculous product of a hero society."
"If you want to be a hero to help others, you might as well consider becoming a police officer. That would be more practical, at least you could help resolve some disputes and conflicts."
"There are too many professional heroes, which have become a burden on the whole society. Their dazzling appearance continues to attract ordinary people to aspire to and gravitate towards them. In the end, the excessive burden will drag the whole society down."
What might happen next? Akaya Kaiun thought about it for a moment and understood that not all those who act as professional heroes are good people. There are many who use the name of hero to seek personal gain. The future situation is that society will continue to experience riots and unrest. If it cannot be effectively stopped, it will eventually become a chaotic society without order.
Comparing professional heroes to soldiers in modern Japan, there are always people who want to join the army because of the good conditions and benefits, but society can only support a small portion of the soldiers. When there is not enough military pay to feed the soldiers, these people become like the enemy, soldiers who harm others.
But just as Akaya Kaiun said before, the existence of professional heroes is not wrong. Even if they are a burden to the whole society, all these people have done is choose a profession they like and successfully become heroes.
What to do? Then let's make it impossible for the heroes to survive. Let's turn the whole of Japan into a crime-free society (kill all the criminals). If the enemy dares to show their face, kill them. If the heroes dare to resist, suppress them with force. Otherwise, what is the purpose of the "Leo Cavalry Project"?
"I will put Japanese society on the right track. Are you trying to stop me, Allmight?"
"No matter what, Akaya Kaiun, you're in cahoots with All For One, and I absolutely will not let that happen!"
"Tsk... So, it turns out that one's position is determined by their own self-interest?"
Too lazy to say anything more to All Might, Akaya Kaiun's nonsense was just to make his image better in All Might's eyes, at least to show a conflicted attitude of "although we have different positions, I understand you but we have to be enemies". What a waste of breath.
"Me too, because my idol is All Might, so the League of Villains is my enemy... Akaya-sensei, you are too."
Although Akaya Kaiun, as his mentor, imparted a lot of knowledge and principles to Midoriya Izuku, it was precisely because of this that Izuku, as a student, could not understand this behavior. His teacher, who was supposed to be promoting heroic beliefs, was actually the boss of the League of Villains.
Feeling a pang of betrayal, Izuku Midoriya resolutely chose to become an enemy of Kaiu Akaya.
"Then let's get started. Let me see how much you've improved lately."
There was no point in saying more, so Akaya Kaiun simply took the initiative and attacked first. Although it was an attack that was initiated by him, it was the kind of attack that held back several levels. Otherwise, if he had taken the fight seriously from the start, what would have been the point of playing?
The wisps of black smoke rising from the ground condensed into several steel wires that attacked Izuku Midoriya and All Might at an astonishing speed.
"careful!"
He immediately alerted Izuku Midoriya, and All Might realized that this was the same thing that had trapped him before, so he dared not be careless and immediately unleashed a full-force punch.
"Texas Smash!"
All Might concentrated his power in a straight punch with his right hand, creating a tornado-like pressure that could alter the weather in the region. He launched a full-force attack right from the start, and All Might dared not underestimate Akagani Kaiun.
However, what No. 1 Hero didn't expect was that even if he used all his strength to attack, he couldn't stop Akaya Kaiun's attack. The completely immovable black steel wires penetrated the tornado and wrapped around All Might's right hand, successfully locking onto the target.
"What?!"
Akaya Kaiun simply waved his right hand casually, and before All Might could react, the black steel wire seemed to have a life of its own, using terrifying force to violently fling the No. 1 hero, carving a furrow in the ground within a hundred meters, and then throwing him to a place where he could no longer be seen.
"All Might!!"
Despite his anxiety and worry, Izuku Midoriya knew that now was not the time to be distracted, so he immediately pressed the command button on his belt.
"Complete!"
"START UP!"
With the "Accelerated Form" activated, All Might's disastrous performance had already shown Izuku Midoriya just how terrifying his teacher was. So when facing Kaigumo Akaya, Midoriya didn't hesitate to activate his trump card, transforming Kamen Rider Faiz into a form that was 1000 times faster.
For a moment, time seemed to stand still. The "Accelerated Form" could only be maintained for 10 seconds, but it was more than enough for Izuku Midoriya. After entering the Accelerated Form, his mind was also undergoing a resonance acceleration of 1000.
Although it was wrong to use FAIZ's power to attack his teacher, Izuku Midoriya would not tolerate Kaiu Akaya's actions. Relying on his 1000x speed-up, Kaiu Akaya laughed, even though AFO would have no chance to react.
It was right before his eyes, crystal clear, and in the student's astonished expression, his teacher, Akaya Kaiun, revealed a meaningful smile.
"FAIZ is something I created. Do you think I can't handle it?"
The words reached Izuku Midoriya's ears clearly, and then he was struck hard. The shadow on the ground appeared like a whip, lashing hard at Kamen Rider Faiz's chest and knocking Izuku Midoriya out of his "Accelerated Form".
"This... how is this possible...?"
If it were another way to break the "accelerated form", it would be understandable, but the fact that Akaya Kaion reacted and acted in the 1000x acceleration state still deeply shocked Midoriya Izuku. This behavior, which was like that of a god and a demon, made him wonder if his teacher was even human.
"Midori, are you alright?!"
All Might, who had just run back from the outer field, saw Izuku Midoriya getting his comeuppance as soon as he arrived. Although the scene was unsightly, it made the No. 1 hero realize the current situation: Kaiu Akaya was handling the two of them with ease.
“Everything Nighteye witnessed was correct, Akaya Kaiun... You are completely beyond our imagination. Now I even doubt... whether you are human at all?”
"Human, I suppose I could still be considered one..."
Akaya Kaiun doubted whether he could even be considered human now. After all, in terms of life state, he was undoubtedly human, but in terms of status... there was a fundamental difference between humans and ants.
"You can leave with Izuku Midoriya. I have no interest in continuing to fight you, and I will not do anything to harm the heroes."
Having absolutely no fighting spirit or hostility, Akaya Kaion was just playing a game to him. The strongest hero named All Might was merely an insignificant obstacle. All this League of Villains boss was looking forward to was his fully grown self.
Have you ever seen a hero turn his back on the enemy and run away?
“That’s right, I always remember what you said, All Might: ‘A hero never abandons his enemy and runs away!’”
"It was All Might who declared war on Akaya Kaion," Midoriya Izuku replied, struggling to his feet. The two of them were very resolute and decisive. When faced with such a huge and invincible evil, heroes would only choose to fight with all their might.
"Then come at me all at once. I don't have any more time to waste with you guys."
To be honest, Akaya Kaion, why do you think only he and AFO are here among so many members of the League of Villains? Where have Kurogiri, Shigaraki Tomura, and the others gone?!
The "Leo Rider Project" is a mass-produced armor manufacturing project for Kamen Riders. The League of Villains will need these items to quell the chaos in the hero society.
The Japanese government had long seen through the situation, and high-ranking politicians chose to cooperate with the League of Villains. In addition to the "Leo Riders" being a mass-production knight plan, the League of Villains also had a lot of other things prepared on its own.
"Mass production of Nomu" and "monsterization"—After giving some loyal and reliable people monsterization and powerful abilities, Akaya Kaiun then transformed piles of useless scum into Nomu. This was a preparation that the League of Villains had been secretly carrying out for more than ten months, and now it was time to bring it to the stage.
A heroic society is not a stagnant pool that will automatically calm down after being stirred up. In order to completely suppress any resistance that may arise, a large number of capable subordinates are indispensable.
Besides, there are more important things to do to end this hero society, and Akaya Kaiun has set his sights on All Might.
The most important step was to defeat the strongest hero, the "symbol of peace" worshipped by the entire nation!
Chapter 58 Boss Battle (Part 2)
After the raid on the Kamino Ward began, the professional heroes and police officers were caught off guard. Despite their previous preparations for a covert operation, the massive scale of the battle still alarmed the citizens.
Among the citizens, there is a professional group who can run faster than the police and heroes when an accident occurs: journalists.
This looked like a major news story, and the reporters from the Kamino Ward couldn't wait any longer. The news agency, eager to get the story going, flew a helicopter straight to the center of the battle.
Along the way to the battle center in the Kamino Ward, reporters on the helicopter broadcast the following scenes on camera: the fierce battle between pro heroes and Nomu continued. Even Endeavor would have to spend some time dealing with these artificial "Quirk" monsters, let alone now that they were appearing in groups.
"Damn dad? What on earth happened...?"
Shoto Todoroki, who was at home, watched the news on TV with some interest. Not only was his father, the No.2 hero Endeavor, but also the No.4 bull king, the No.5 paper peak shooter... almost all the top ten heroes were there.
"Olmat should be there too."
Todoroki Shoto's older sister, Todoroki Fuyumi, walked over and sat down next to her younger brother, speaking thoughtfully:
"My father has been frequently seen with All Might lately, seemingly concerning the League of Villains. It looks like they've finally found the enemy's location."
"Maybe... wait!"
As the helicopter broadcasting from the scene flew inward, Todoroki Shoto was shocked to see the scene in the center of the ruins, where his classmates, whom he knew all too well, were located.
"Midori! What's he doing there, All Might... and Akaya-sensei...?"
Of the four people appearing in the scene, AFO, who invaded U.A. High School last time, was wearing an industrial mask, which Todoroki Shoto couldn't recognize at first. But how could he not recognize Izuku Midoriya, All Might, and Kaion Akaya, who had transformed into Kamen Rider Faiz?
If All Might's mission was to rescue Akaya Kaiun, then Midoriya Izuku following along wouldn't be surprising. But the current situation is definitely... All Might and Midoriya Izuku teaming up to fight Akaya Kaiun? ...No, it's more like they're being unilaterally crushed and slaughtered.
The overwhelming visuals caused Shoto Todoroki to momentarily stop thinking; it was too much of a challenge to his understanding.
..........
At the heart of the battle in the Kanno district, All Might and Izuku Midoriya were not dealt with severely. The shadowy figure simply transformed into a long whip and swept them away again. Akaya Kaiun looked up at the helicopter in the sky, where the news reporters' cameras were pointed at him, and smiled in response.
"It looks like it's about time."
Akaya Kaiun turned to look at the two who were panting heavily. All Might and Midoriya Izuku had launched attacks multiple times, but the black shadow that emerged from under their feet was simply ridiculously overpowered. Its speed and strength completely overwhelmed All Might, not to mention Midoriya Izuku, who was forced to retreat even in his "Accelerated Form". They were simply not on the same level as the opponent.
At this moment, both All Might and Izuku Midoriya had the same thought: with such powerful strength, they could easily end the battle, so why was the person in front of them only defending and not launching any attacks?
"All Might, I've been thinking about something. You appear to people as the 'Symbol of Peace,' always a picture of victory, but what if they saw their revered and respected invincible hero defeated?"
"How wonderful! I'm really looking forward to this!"
Upon hearing Akaya Kaiun's words, All Might hadn't yet reacted, but Afo, the cheerful monster, laughed happily; he had wanted to do this for a long time.
"Damn it... Akaya-sensei, you clearly said you were an All Might fan, so why did you do this?!"
"That's perfectly normal. Do you think All Might can continue to serve as the 'Symbol of Peace' after handing over One For All to you? Let him take this opportunity to retire."
"What!?"
These shocking words left Izuku Midoriya completely bewildered. He never expected that Akaya Kaion would learn of his inheritance of One For All, even though no information had been leaked and he had never used a single ounce of that Quirk.
"To completely destroy this hero society, it is necessary to defeat All Might, the No. 1 hero and the embodiment of people's faith. This is a necessary ritual."
"You really did plan this all along, Akaya Kaiun... You probably found out about our operation well in advance, didn't you?"
"Of course, putting aside the fact that you spent an entire afternoon preparing, do you think the 'League of Villains' would be that blind? Ultimately, I didn't want innocent civilians to be injured or killed, which is why I let you slowly disperse the people."
"Moreover, I taught Izuku all his techniques. The tracking device that was secretly placed on Tomoe was easy to detect. This place was a trap from the very beginning."
"All Might, this is the stage where you, as the 'Symbol of Peace,' fell!"
It was all part of a well-planned scheme. The heroes' grand and elaborate operation was designed to set the stage for All Might's defeat; it was just a good show.
"Akagu—Haiyun!!"
Enraged, Izuku Midoriya felt a deep-seated anger towards his respected and admired teacher, and he no longer hesitated.
After flipping open the FAIZ phone on the belt and entering the transformation code "555", the system-controlled form was activated and the character transformed.
"Awakening"
The transformation is activated, and bright red energy spreads upwards from Kamen Rider FAIZ's feet. The black exterior under the armor completely transforms into bright red, unleashing the final form with abundant energy throughout the body: "Burst Form".
"It's the 'Burst Mode,' huh? Looks like you did a great job. But Mou suffered a lot in this form."
I will never forgive you!
A furious roar filled the air. Perhaps everything Akaya Kaiun did was not wrong, but there was only one thing that made Midoriya Izuku extremely angry, and that was his attitude towards All Might.
He jokingly calls himself an admirer, and indeed, his understanding of All Might is almost the same as his own. Izuku Midoriya initially liked and respected Kaiu Akaya from the bottom of his heart, as he was the teacher who guided him from "Quirkless" to becoming a hero.
However, All Might is a hero who has worked hard to protect everyone, but Akaya Kaion wants to use him to achieve his own goals. Midoriya Izuku will never forgive him!
All Might has fought to the death against his enemies, striving for peace to this day. Even after his battle with AFO, he still struggles to move forward despite being half-dead. The title of "Symbol of Peace" is not just an honorary title, but a testament to everything All Might has done throughout his life, a testament to his unwavering work for peace.
While the goals stated by the "Alliance of the Enemy" may seem reasonable, what is this? Are they preparing to achieve their objectives through oppression and tyranny? Is dismantling a hero's society a prelude to building an enemy's society?!
All Might is a hero worshipped by everyone, so to achieve the League of Villains' goals, they're now turning the "Symbol of Peace" into a tool for such a ridiculous reason? What a joke!
Izuku Midoriya doesn't know much about his teacher, Kaiu Akaya. He has no idea where his teacher came from or what he wants to do. However, he knows All Might perfectly and believes in him as his dream goal, aspiring to become a hero like All Might who saves everyone.
Because of Akaya Kaion's words, Midoriya Izuku was so enraged that he activated his "Explosion Form" and attacked his teacher.
Enraged, Izuku Midoriya didn't say anything. He transformed into "Burst Mode" and charged towards Kaiu Akaya. Although the speed was vastly different from "Accelerated Mode," the armor's defensive capabilities were maximized, and several shadow whips only briefly repelled him.
"The 'Burst Form' is quite well-done; it seems like entrusting the FAIZ belt to you was a wise choice."
"asshole!!"
Upon hearing this, Izuku Midoriya gritted his teeth in hatred. He had not forgotten what his respected and admired teacher had said to him back then.
"This powerful force must be given to righteous heroes."
The sentence that Izuku Midoriya could never forget turned out to be a blatant lie. Anger surged through his brain, making it impossible for him to maintain his rationality.
Enraged, Izuku Midoriya actually withstood the shadow's whip and charged towards Kaigumo Akaya, unleashing a punch from Kamen Rider Faiz filled with terrifying power.
"That won't defeat me."
He was teaching his student a lesson. Facing the fist that was about to knock him down, Akaya Kaiun simply raised his right hand and gently blocked the attack with his right index finger. In "Burst Mode," FAIZ possessed the power to completely overwhelm Kaixa, yet he acted as if the attack didn't exist.
But Izuku Midoriya knew very well that he had thrown a punch with all his might, yet it had been easily blocked by his teacher, like an ant...
