""RAW! RAW! Fight The Power!"

The drill key was inserted into the belt hole, and after being twisted, the activation was completed. The "spiral force" burst forth and wrapped around Izuku Midoriya's entire body. After the light dissipated, the Kamen Rider armor appeared. The crimson Kamen Rider, the original ZERO, was about to bloom with infinite evolution.

Who do you think I am?!

He slammed his right fist into his chest, remembering All Might's words: to become a hero, no longer the Izuku Midoriya of the past, but a hero capable of breaking through the heavens.

"Don't think you can defeat me just because you've transformed. The power that lord bestowed upon me is invincible!"

"Then let's give it a try."

Without any hesitation, the two clashed and fought instantly. Izuku Midoriya transformed into Crimson Knight Zero and attacked the man in front of him. Without using any special moves, he unleashed the power of "One For All" and instantly appeared behind Chisaki, throwing a powerful punch with his right fist.

It has the same power as All Might's ultimate move. Even its normal attacks have the terrifying power of "Detroit Smash". A powerful storm was brought up by the punch and swept over, crushing the entrance of the Shie Hassaikai mansion into flat ground.

Because his mother, Inoko Midoriya, was still inside the Shie Hassaikai, Izuku Midoriya carefully adjusted his attack direction to avoid affecting those inside. However, even when facing Chisaki, who had endured such an attack, he was still unharmed.

"It's a waste of your energy; everything you've done is useless."

"Physical attacks are completely ineffective; it seems quite similar to Senior Million's 'penetration' technique."

Izuku Midoriya stepped back, widening the distance between himself and Chisaki once more, recalling the information All Might had given him about Mirio Togata's contact with Chisaki.

At that time, Mirio Togata used "Penetration" to infiltrate underground but was caught by Chisaki. After he turned into his shadow state, he seemed to be able to ignore physical collisions, which is exactly the same as the effect of Penetration.

However, after Mirio Togata was rescued by Tamaki Amakuri, when the three leaders of U.A. High School were preparing to escape and retreat, Chisaki enlarged his body to pursue and stop them. Fortunately, Hōhachi Rohō used the impact of air waves to shatter Chisaki's hand.

Because Izuku Midoriya was going to the "Shie Hassaikai" (a secret society), All Might told him all this information without missing a single word, hoping it would be of some help.

After reviewing this information, Izuku Midoriya realized that the ability of the guy in front of him was strange. He was probably not completely immune to physical damage, otherwise he would not be able to attack while being immune to damage. The Wave Spiral had also shattered Chisaki's hand before.

"Let's give it a try then."

Having made up his mind, Izuku Midoriya reached up to his face and grabbed the five-pointed star goggles on Crimson Knight ZERO's head. These exaggerated glasses, made of "spiral force," were not only decorations but also weapons.

"Ultimate move: Crimson Lotus Whirlwind Slash!"

The spiral force reconstructed matter, and the five-pointed star headdress transformed into a crimson boomerang, which, thrown by Izuku Midoriya, swept up a storm and flew at high speed toward Chisaki.

The Crimson Boomerang was incredibly fast; before Chisaki could even react, it had already flashed past his waist, arced through the air, and returned to Izuku Midoriya's hand.

"I've already said it, everything you've done is useless."

Just like before, Chisaki was not harmed. All physical attacks were useless against him. After receiving the power bestowed upon him by Akaya Kaiun, this man could transform his body into a shadow to avoid all harm. And this pure black shadow aggregate could not be dispelled by fire and light alone.

"I see, so that's how it is!"

However, in that fatal blow, Izuku Midoriya had already seen through the true nature of Chisaki's ability. He hadn't noticed it during the close-range attack because he was worried about Chisaki's counterattack, but he only noticed the truth after using the ranged slashing attack.

"Your ability is completely different from 'penetration.' In essence, it's like a wisp of smoke. I noticed healing marks from your slash just now, but because your mass is on a completely different scale, even a hurricane couldn't disperse it."

"What? Even if you understand, so what? In the end, you still can't deal with me."

Chisaki was full of confidence. Apart from the fact that he had been scattered by the wave spiral after expanding the shadow into a giant volume of tens of meters, due to the decrease in the overall mass of the shadow, Chisaki was not so easy to deal with when he maintained a human body size. The shadow's aggregated body was immune to all attacks. Even the power of "one for all" could not blast it apart, making it an invincible defense.

"Now that you understand, things will be much easier."

Izuku Midoriya placed the Crimson Lotus Boomerang back on his head, transforming it back into a five-pointed star goggles. He raised his right hand high in the air, and "Spiral Force" spread out, gathering and forming a physical entity—a drill appeared.

"Watch me break through it!"

"Are you kidding me? You think you can defeat me with just a drill? Are you underestimating me!?"

"Underestimating you? You're nothing compared to this drill."

With his right hand facing forward, Izuku Midoriya spun the drill in his right hand at lightning speed, exuding an aura capable of piercing through anything. The Knight of Crimson Lotus was ready.

"Deadly move! 'Giga Drill Break'!!"

This special move, once used by a hero capable of drilling a hole through the universe, is now unleashed by Izuku Midoriya. Any enemy is nothing but a trivial existence before this drill.

In an instant, it burst forth in front of Chisaki, the drill capable of piercing through everything aimed directly at his chest, striking straight down!

"It's useless. Before that person's power, everything you do is just a waste of effort!"

The situation was exactly the same as before. The drill pierced through Chisaki's body, but this guy's body was made of shadow, so even with a big hole in his chest, he was completely unharmed. With the power given by Akaya Kaiun, this man had surpassed humanity... But...

Without stopping, Izuku Midoriya's movements were unwavering and he maintained his stance, the drill spinning at an incredible speed.

"I've said it so many times, it's no use, don't waste my patience."

Impatient, Chisaki reached for Midoriya Izuku's arm with his right hand. The head of the Shie Hassaikai intended to cripple his opponent's arm to prevent him from continuing his futile efforts. However...

"This... wait, my body..."

In an unexpected turn of events, Chisaki's body began to shrink back. He had intended to reach out and grab Izuku Midoriya's right hand, but instead, he shortened his position even faster than he could have reached out.

"As I've said before, you're nothing compared to this drill."

"Damn it—it's spinning, stop it!!"

What was going on with Chisaki's consciousness? The drill that Midoriya Izuku was attacking was spinning so fast that it had completely formed a small eye of a storm. Even if his shadow had a high mass, it couldn't withstand this continuous and powerful force. The drill's super-fast speed caused Chisaki's body to keep shrinking back, completely compressed by the eye of the storm created by the drill.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you. Just reflect on your sins."

After the rapidly spinning drill completely pulled Chisaki back into a ball, Izuku Midoriya plunged the drill directly into the ground. At the same time, the "spiral force" caused the weapon's material form to change, instantly creating a seamless glass bottle that trapped Chisaki inside.

Just like the technique All Might used to deal with the mud enemies, Izuku Midoriya learned it to deal with Chisaki. However, this man also had another "Disintegration" Quirk. Izuku did not take it lightly and directly grabbed the glass bottle made of "Spiral Force" with his right hand, and then used the power of "One For All" to throw it with all his might.

"Go away!"

It's like a shooting star streaking across the sky, a home run thrown with all his might in "one for all." I hope Chisaki doesn't fall into the sea.

"The trouble is finally over..."

After dealing with the troublesome guys guarding the "Shie Hassaikai", Izuku Midoriya went straight inside to find his mother, Hikari Midoriya. It didn't take long for him to see his mother.

"Izuku?"

"Ah...it's that mean older brother from last time!"

In the inner hall of the Shie Hassaikai, Izuku Midoriya saw his mother as soon as he entered. However, Mrs. Midoriya Inoko was still playing with little girl Eri, building blocks, and she looked like she was taking care of her daughter.

Upon seeing Mrs. Inoko, who had met her child before, and Eri, the little girl she had met before, both women reacted differently yet similarly, both feeling surprised and puzzled by Izuku Midoriya's arrival.

"......"

Although he knew that his mother had not been harmed by the "Shie Hassaikai", seeing her carefree and happy expression as she took care of her daughter, Izuku Midoriya felt that he had worried for nothing, even though he had been so concerned.

"Mom, let's go home."

Although he didn't know what to say, all Izuku Midoriya could say was, "It's time to go back home after being away for three months."

"Huh?...Okay!"

Completely oblivious, Midoriya Inko seemed to think that her mother had gotten so used to living in the "Shie Hassaikai" that she had almost forgotten where her home was.

It was time to return to the home that had been away for so long. As Midoriya Inoko was preparing to go home with her child, Midoriya Izuku, a little girl named Eri suddenly rushed over and pounced on her.

"Waaah... Aunt Inoko, don't go. Eri will be so lonely after you leave."

Seeing the little girl on the verge of tears, Midoriya's mother couldn't leave. She immediately began to frantically comfort her. At that moment, Midoriya Izuku felt a deep sense of malice. Only now did he realize that Chisaki was just there to make a show of things, and that this was the real opponent that Akaya-sensei had arranged for him.

If he were to force his mother to leave with him, little Eri would be heartbroken. Just thinking about it made Izuku Midoriya feel a strong sense of guilt. Akaya Kaion's move was too cruel.

"Don't be sad, Huili. You can go to Aunt Yinzi's house to play with her in the future."

"It's you!"

The voice that comforted Eri was not that of Izuku Midoriya's mother, Inoko Midoriya, nor could it be Izuku Midoriya himself. It was the voice of a third person who suddenly appeared, and Izuku Midoriya knew that voice all too well.

"It's Uncle Akaya!"

"Akatani... teacher..."

The man standing at the entrance of the hall smiled as he looked at Izuku Midoriya, completely unconcerned that the League of Villains executive Chisaki had been knocked away and disappeared somewhere. He figured if he couldn't beat them, it was just because he was bad.

"Hey! It's been three months, hasn't it? Izuku... It's a wonder you're still willing to call me teacher."

"......"

Seeing this scene, Inoko Midoriya didn't quite understand what was going on, but she still hugged Eri and moved her away, letting the two children talk and deal with it themselves.

“I understand that you never intended to hurt me from the beginning. I don’t quite understand why you did these things either, but to be honest... I am where I am today because of your teachings, Akaya-sensei.”

"So tell me... what exactly is your purpose, Akaya Kaiun!"

The second time, Izuku Midoriya did not address the man in front of him as "teacher." Instead, he used his status as a hero to question the "League of Villains" boss about what unknown purpose he was planning.

"The momentum is pretty good, at least much stronger than before."

"However, it would be too boring to just tell you this, so I can only reveal one piece of information to you now."

The mystery is only interesting if someone explores it. A quote left by Akaya Kaion to Midoriya Izuku:

“Go to America. The 'League of Villains' executives are already in action. I'll be waiting for you there.”

"and many more!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Akaya Kaiun disappeared into the shadows, giving Midoriya Izuku no chance to ask a question.

It was a completely baffling act. In the end, Izuku Midoriya still didn't understand what Kaion Akaya wanted to do. Why was he making such a big fuss and going to such lengths to mess with him?

But since Akaya Kaiun had already told him what to do, Midoriya Izuku wouldn't hesitate to go. He couldn't let the League of Villains do anything dangerous, especially that man who was all for one... Having inherited "one for all" from All Might, he had a responsibility to end this fated enemy.

"America, huh..."

Having just returned to Japan, Izuku Midoriya's next destination has already been booked: the birthplace of professional heroes, the United States.

Chapter 78 New Target

"Wait, Midoriya! Are you going to America?"

"Hmm... These are the words left by Professor Akaya. To find out the League of Villains' operational plans, I must go to America in person."

Having just returned to Japan, Izuku Midoriya was immediately heading to the United States. After talking to All Might, the No. 1 was quite surprised.

"I can't get away from things here...it's too troublesome, I can't go with you."

All Might, who was so annoyed he was scratching his head, thought that he would be fine if he didn't actively get involved in the changes in the situation in Japan. However, when he found that the two forces were about to go to war, All Might, as the No. 1 hero, still couldn't sit idly by. Now he tried his best to act as a mediator to prevent the Japanese government and the resistance from going to war.

Ultimately, All Might couldn't stand by and watch anyone get hurt. If something could be resolved peacefully, there was no need to fight. The lingering influence of the "symbol of peace" meant that when All Might intervened, the Japanese government and the resistance forces were truly unable to directly wage war.

Driven by self-interest, Japan was divided. The people distrusted the government and instead believed in heroes. The desperate Japanese government tried to suppress the rebellion by using the Leo Cavalry, which it had acquired from the League of Villains, but this only further fueled the anger of many who were dissatisfied with the status quo.

But it's impossible to govern a country with a bunch of people who know nothing. Although the current Japanese government officials aren't exactly good people either, Allmight has to mediate between the two sides to avoid conflict, which is quite a difficult task for him.

"Don't worry, Olmat, you don't need to worry about going to the United States. It's still the same old story."

Who do you think I am?!

Seeing Izuku Midoriya confidently pounding his chest, All Might also relaxed. The near-retirement No. 1 hero turned around, poured a cup of coffee, and handed it to the boy in front of him, continuing:

"I think I can understand how my master felt back then."

"All Might's master... the seventh 'One For All'?"

"Hmm... She was a beautiful and powerful woman, and undoubtedly a true hero, but she died at the hands of that man Afo while protecting me, which is why I can never forget the hatred."

All Might shook his head, banishing inappropriate thoughts from his mind, and corrected himself, saying:

"I hate AFO not only because of my master's hatred, but more because of what that man did back then. He was in the highest position in Japan and manipulated everything. Most of the enemy forces were under his control. He wantonly brought harm to this society and people. It was a very dark era."

The details about All Might, which weren't explained in detail, were actually quite limited when he was still unknown. Despite the presence of a hero academy and numerous heroes fighting against evil forces, it was all in vain. In the end, everything was being manipulated by All For One, and he was being ridiculed at will by that bastard.

With the Japanese government's inaction, the police are even less likely to uphold justice. Only a few heroes will step forward at crucial moments. The persistently high crime rate is not something to be taken lightly. Every crime causes harm and suffering to someone. Most of the time, All Might can only silently witness all of this and then fight hard to try to change things.

“My master once told me that only those who always have a smile on their face are the strongest, and I still remember that to this day.”

"But that might not apply to you, Midoriya... Remember that!"

"Believe in yourself, not in the you who believes in me."

"It's not about believing in the 'me' who believes in you, but about believing in the 'you' who believes in yourself."

Izuku Midoriya is not All Might, and he doesn't need to blindly learn from All Might. What he should do is be himself, believe in the path he believes in, and then use courage and determination to forge his own future.

Izuku Midoriya, who is about to travel to America, no longer needs to consult All Might. This young man, who has grown up, needs to learn to make his own decisions. The hero who has always been with him has nothing more to teach him. The young man who will become a hero in the future will move forward with his own will.

"All Might..."

"That's it. Remember to send me a text message when you arrive in the United States."

What was supposed to be a very touching scene was completely ruined by All Might's next words. However, Izuku Midoriya wasn't angry. It was time to say goodbye to the hero he admired, and now it was his turn to fight alone.
