"What the Fack!"

"Fack You!"

The two enemies who landed on the ground were not rendered powerless by the serious car accident. Perhaps due to their "quirks," the two guys stood up energetically, and after discovering that Izuku Midoriya was the one who caused it all, they cursed and walked over, clearly not intending to let this troublesome kid have a good ending.

One enemy sprouted many sharp spikes, making it look like a sea urchin covered in weapons; the other enemy had its hands extended into sharp blades, giving off a menacing vibe.

Faced with these two menacing guys, Izuku Midoriya made only one move: he reached behind him with his right hand, grabbed the modified car from before, and then threw it forcefully.

"OMG!"

The modified car fell from the sky, and the two enemies, who only had time to exclaim in surprise, were crushed underneath before they could even dodge. The money they had stolen from the bank was also waiting to be recovered by the pro heroes and the police.

"Well done, boy."

The "Bandaged Man," who arrived just in time, saw Izuku Midoriya take care of the two bank robbers and immediately praised and commended him.

"Boy, what's your name?"

"Izuku Midoriya".

"Midori... Such power and speed remind me of someone, All Might."

"You and he look a lot alike."

Before returning to Japan, All Might was active as a hero in the United States, and "Bandaged Man" was naturally very familiar with the "symbol of peace." When they heard that All Might had left the United States and returned to Japan, many American professional heroes felt sorry for him, since heroes like All Might have many fans and admirers no matter where they are.

"Thank you so much for your help, BOY. Do you want to stay here and wait for the police and reporters to interview you? If you want to be a hero and build up your fame, this is an essential step."

"No need, I have other things to do."

"Goodbye then! Boy, you'll definitely become a great hero someday."

"Haha, thank you for your kind words."

After waving goodbye to the "bandaged man," Izuku Midoriya returned to the plaza. He was waiting for Melissa there; there were more important things to do in this country.

Despite the bank robbery incident on the way back and forth, Izuku Midoriya didn't waste too much time. When he returned to the plaza, Melissa hadn't come back yet. After waiting for about five more minutes, the girl finally returned from checking into the hotel.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting, Izuku!"

"........"

Seeing Melissa's apologetic face, Izuku Midoriya surprisingly remained silent. Instead, his expression turned cold, and he asked in a chillingly serious tone:

"Who are you?"

Chapter 80 Philadelphia, Second Stop

Even though the person in front of him was clearly Melissa, with an exact identical appearance, and they had only just exchanged a single sentence, and there was nothing suspicious about it, Izuku Midoriya instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

Perhaps because of the awakening of the "Spiral Force", Izuku Midoriya's intuition was stronger than usual. Although he could not sense anything wrong from his appearance and voice, his strong intuition stimulated his nerves and told him that the person in front of him was definitely not Melissa.

"Izuku, what's wrong with you? Are you trying to joke with me?"

"You are not 'Melissa,' who are you?!"

It wasn't a questioning tone anymore; Izuku Midoriya trusted his intuition. Just like All Might had said, he had to believe in himself... This feeling couldn't have arisen for no reason, so there was only one possibility.

The "Melissa" in front of us could only be someone using their quirk to impersonate her!

"Oh dear, what a pity... I thought I could fool you a little longer."

Melissa gave a sinister smile, then her figure changed and shrank, revealing the true identity of the imposter, Toga Himiko, one of the executives of the League of Villains.

"The boss asked me to deliver a message to you. I was hoping to give Midoriya-kun a surprise, but you saw through it."

"What the hell?! What did you do to Melissa?!"

Seeing that Midoriya Izuku was somewhat angry and furious, Toga Himeko wisely refrained from provoking him. Sometimes, it's necessary to understand one's own duties and responsibilities; sometimes, excessive recklessness will only lead to a miserable death.

"Don't worry, your girlfriend is probably still busy taking care of things at the hotel. I have no intention of making a move on her."

"Tell me why you've come!"

After hearing that Melissa was alright, Izuku Midoriya calmed down. Because of his mother, Iniko Midoriya, Izuku now values ​​the people around him very much. If any accident were to affect the people he cherishes, Izuku Midoriya would probably really go berserk.

"You've probably heard of the 'Unification School,' haven't you?"

"As expected... this gang was created by you guys, wasn't it?"

After learning about the "Reunion Faction" from the bandaged man, Izuku Midoriya basically suspected the "League of Villains." Based on the fact that Akaya Kaiun had sent him to America, most of these religious gangs that deceived most people into joining were likely the work of that man.

"You could say that, but the BOSS won't get involved in such trivial matters; it's currently being organized and arranged by others."

"Just say what you want me to do."

Without any patience for Toga Heishi to continue dawdling, Midoriya Izuku directly asked the "League of Villains" executive in front of him about serious matters. Surely Akaya Kaion couldn't have sent her here to talk nonsense with him.

"I'm really worried, Midoriya-kun."

"But I'll just tell you directly, it's an order from the BOSS."

The order given by Akaya Kaiun, which was relayed to Midoriya Izuku by Toga, determined his next destination in the United States.

"Go to Philadelphia; you'll find the answers you're looking for there."

"Tsk... another one of these mysterious tricks. Can't he just say it directly?"

"Well, after all, he doesn't understand what the boss is thinking. Good luck, Midoriya-kun!"

After saying this, Toga Himeko disappeared into the air. This member of the League of Villains had naturally received the power bestowed by Akaya Kaiun, becoming the "Thousand-Faced Witch" Toga Himeko.

The ability to transform into others by absorbing blood has been overwritten and enhanced. The basic ability is to directly transform into anyone's appearance. Now, it can even transform its own form into anything. Although the overall quality cannot be changed, the nature of the ability is completely different from the original.

"Philadelphia, huh...."

Thinking about the information left behind by Toga's body, Midoriya Izuku had no idea what Akaya Kaion was up to, but he still had to find out the person's true purpose, so the journey ahead was inevitable.

Melissa soon arrived and met up with Izuku Midoriya. After telling her what had just happened, the understanding girl immediately booked train tickets to go directly to Philadelphia the next day.

"Izuku, you said that girl just now turned into me, and you didn't fall for it?"

"Yes, my intuition tells me very strongly that it's not you, and I choose to trust my intuition."

"Hmph~ What if it really is me?"

Although she was grumbling a little, Melissa was actually very happy inside. After all, her boyfriend had recognized the fake product with his intuition at a glance, which was a very happy thing for any girl.

"Um... I don't think so?"

Hearing Melissa's complaint, Midoriya scratched his head awkwardly. To be honest, he had trusted his intuition too much just now, and it would have been a bad thing if he had been wrong, but at least nothing unexpected had gone wrong.

"But we're going to Philadelphia next, right?"

"Well, it's time to get ready to leave again... I'm so sorry to have troubled you, Melissa, with me all this time."

"It's okay. I'm happy to travel around with you like this, Izuku."

Just as her mother, Inoko Midoriya, believed, what appeared to be a business trip was actually a honeymoon, without a doubt.

After resting for a night in the hotel they had booked in New York, Izuku Midoriya and Melissa set off early the next morning, taking the train to Philadelphia, another city in the United States.

Philadelphia is the fifth largest city in the United States, located at the mouth of the Delaware River in Pennsylvania in the northeastern United States. Philadelphia is a historic city in the country and was the capital of the United States before Washington was founded, so it has a very important place in American history.

The famous "Philadelphia Experiment: The Invisibility Project" has attracted many enthusiasts in Philadelphia who are passionate about various mysterious phenomena that have appeared on Earth in the past, such as UFO sightings, Bermuda Triangle research, and various mysterious and unknown cults.

After the emergence of "personality," the residents of Philadelphia, USA, did not actually change much. There were many different opinions about the origin of "personality." Some people believed it was a gift from God, some believed it was an experiment by aliens, and others believed it was human evolution. In short, it was all a debate where everyone disagreed and argued back and forth without any evidence.

The origin of "individuality" has been studied in detail by many countries, but no one has been able to figure it out. It seems to be something that is completely imprinted on human DNA as an instinctual thing, like flowering, fruiting, aging, sickness and death.

However, the emergence of "personality" is too mysterious, and no one has stopped exploring the origin of "personality" to this day. Various mysterious sects still exist in Philadelphia, and the "Unionists" is a new sect that has only recently emerged.

It appeared for a very short time, but it expanded at an alarming rate. Many people in the United States believed in the doctrines promoted by the "United Ones" and were convinced of them.

"The existence of 'individuality' is an obstacle to human development. Because of individuality, human technology has not progressed in 100 years, and humans, who should have set foot in space, are still confined to Earth."

"Personality has completely distorted humanity, causing humans to gradually lose their original selves."

"Abandon 'individuality' and return to humanity's original, natural state."

The doctrine of the "Return to Oneness" sect is roughly as follows: it believes that "individuality" is a poison to human existence and should be abandoned to return to the original human form and appearance.

In reality, it's basically the kind of cult organization full of empty promises, completely designed to fool fools. But... in the United States, it's hard to say.

Have you heard of any American left-wing human rights activists? They have always liked to promote doctrines that strongly advocate human rights, and it's not just a simple slogan.

After the emergence of "Quirks," in addition to the Quirk abilities released and used by people like Katsuki Bakugo and Shoto Todoroki, many more people experienced physical changes, such as Tsuyu Asui's "frog," Mezo Shoji's non-human form, and Iroha's... well, let's just leave that aside; they're all just scum.

Human beings have undergone tremendous changes in their physical form. Will people in the future still be considered human? This is a question that many people are worried about. Many human rights activists often criticize this issue. After the emergence of the "Unification Faction," it seems that they have found a like-minded goal, and many people have gathered together as a result.

Leaving aside the doctrine of the "Unity Cult" that has lured so many people to join, in a capitalist country like the United States, doing this kind of thing won't get you investigated by the police, as long as you don't evade taxes...yes, no doubt about it.

However, since the "Unified Sect" is currently only recruiting and deceiving people with its doctrines and has not done anything dangerous, the police and heroes have turned a blind eye to this new sect. However, the speed at which the "Unified Sect" is expanding is indeed alarming.

In many American cities, citizens claiming to be followers of the "One China" movement are now parading and promoting their doctrines. Putting aside the question of where these human rights activists get so much time and energy, the forces behind the "One China" movement are indeed very powerful. Otherwise, with this speed of dissemination, it would be hard to believe that it was a spontaneous event.

The Philadelphia that Izuku Midoriya is heading to is said to be the headquarters of the "Unionist" sect, which has spread from there in just two months and has already spread to all cities in the United States.

With such a huge sectarian power suddenly formed, it's no wonder that the "Bandaged Man," who is entangled with the hero, has a headache. He has worked overtime a lot because of the street propaganda of those human rights fighters.

Who founded the "Return to One" faction and why it grew to such a large scale so quickly were things that Izuku Midoriya didn't care about. What he cared about was Akaya Kaiun's purpose and what his mysterious teacher wanted to do.

This trip to the United States is to find out the answer, but I don't know what awaits me in Philadelphia.

The differences between the United States and Japan are significant. Each city can make you feel like you've traveled to another country. In reality, the ethnic composition of the country is very complex, which results in a large cultural gap between cities. You can feel this just by looking at the architecture of the cities.

Philadelphia is a historic city in the United States. In addition to the fact that many occult enthusiasts gather here, as mentioned above, the overall structure of the city has an artistic beauty, and the overall atmosphere of the city has a strong sense of history.

Having just arrived at Philadelphia train station, Izuku Midoriya and Melissa saw a large group of people holding signs and marching as they exited the station. Judging from the slogans and propaganda on the signs, they knew that these were followers of the "Unification Movement".

"Izuku, look at the group composition of these people..."

"Yes, it's no wonder that the doctrines of the 'Unity Sect' are so appealing."

The marching group that Izuku Midoriya and Melissa saw consisted mostly of people with grotesque appearances, aside from some genuine human rights activists who couldn't find anything else to do. What are grotesque appearances?

They are roughly like some of the students in Class A, whose appearance is very different from that of normal people, and who have changed their appearance because of their "personality".

In a world where 80% of the population has "individuality," the problems arising from individual abilities are not uncommon. Humans discriminate against each other based on skin color and race, let alone in this chaotic era of individuality.

From a normal person's aesthetic point of view, would you like someone whose appearance is completely alien? Apart from a few enthusiasts with very special tastes, it is difficult for a normal man to be interested in a girl whose head is actually a snake's head.

For those whose appearance is far beyond the normal range due to their "individuality," most people are extremely self-loathing. The emergence of the "Unification Faction" gave them an opportunity to vent, and... it really was able to change the status quo.

"There are rumors online that the 'Unification Faction' possesses the ability to erase individuality, without a doubt."

"It's all for one!"

All Might's nemesis, the fated enemy of "one for all," the man with the ability to strip away Quirks, is in this Philadelphia.

"Izuku, what's next?"

"I need to go check out the headquarters of the 'Unification Faction' first. Melissa... you don't need to come with me."

"Hmm...I understand, I won't hold you back."

Given the possibility of battles ahead, Izuku Midoriya would not allow Melissa to accompany him into danger. And this understanding girl would not put Midoriya in a difficult position; she would first find a place to stay and await the return of her hero.

"Then let's split up and act separately. We'll keep in touch by phone if anything comes up."

"Okay, please be careful."

"no problem!"

After a temporary farewell, Izuku Midoriya heads to the headquarters of the "Union Faction" in Philadelphia: the Philadelphia Freemason Cathedral.

Chapter 81 The Long-Awaited Old Rival

The Philadelphia Freemasons Cathedral is the largest Christian church in the city. To be honest, Izuku Midoriya doesn't know why the headquarters of the "Unified Faction" is located here... If you knew what those "League of Villains" were up to, they wouldn't have come all the way here.

Heading towards their destination, Midoriya Izuku saw many people heading towards the cathedral. He overheard the conversations among the pedestrians. Although he wasn't fluent in English, he could still make out that they were talking about something like "lottery".

Because Melissa wasn't around, he couldn't understand what they were talking about in detail, but Izuku Midoriya didn't get impatient. He calmly followed the group, and when they arrived at the cathedral, he knew what tricks the "Unified Faction" was up to.

It didn't take long to walk there. When Izuku Midoriya arrived at the largest church in Philadelphia, the outside was already packed with people, who seemed to have come for the "Unification Church".

However, what's peculiar is that while the area around the cathedral is crowded with people, the order isn't exactly orderly, but it's not chaotic either, mainly because there are many police officers and professional heroes maintaining order on site.

It's really strange that this is clearly an illegitimate religious activity, yet law enforcement officers representing justice and the law are helping to maintain order and peace. I really don't know what to think.

However, when he thought of the power and abilities of his teacher, Akaya Kaion, Izuku Midoriya was not surprised by the current situation. Who knew if that person had once again colluded with the US government?

Instead of speculating about too many things, Izuku Midoriya's most pressing concern right now is how to infiltrate the area.
