A jumble of thoughts swirled in Izuku Midoriya's mind, while the man named all for one continued:
"First, I apologize for the way I invited you. Now, let's get to the main purpose."
"Izuku Midoriya, would you be willing to join my 'League of Villains'?"
"I refuse!"
Izuku Midoriya didn't even need to think about it; he immediately rejected the all-for-one proposal. His dream was to become a hero, and even if he couldn't be a hero, Izuku Midoriya would never side with the enemy.
"I knew it."
Izuku Midoriya's answer was not unexpected by AFO. If nothing unexpected happened, the boy in front of them might really become a hero like All Might. But unfortunately, the future has changed.
"There's no need to rush to answer that. Let me continue with my self-introduction."
Afo isn't in a hurry. It's too easy for him to lead a righteous teenager into darkness, but it's a bit difficult to make the kid not hate him.
"My Quirk, 'All For One,' has the effect of stealing Quirks and granting Quirks. I imagine you'd be quite interested, wouldn't you?"
"what!"
Upon hearing about the abilities of the Quirk of AFO before him, Izuku Midoriya was truly shocked. Possessing the ability to steal and bestow Quirks, it could be said to be a "Quirk" that transcends Quirks. Could this person really be the leader of the League of Villains?!
"Midori, you're Quirkless, right? My AFO can steal any Quirk. Whatever Quirk you want, I can get it for you. How about it?"
"........."
Izuku Midoriya fell silent. Being Quirkless was his greatest inner wound. Although he now used equipment and tools to compensate for it, Midoriya still greatly envied people with Quirks and longed to have a powerful and cool Quirk of his own.
The conditions offered by all·for·one are indeed very tempting; perhaps others would have agreed immediately, however...
"I refuse!"
Repeating his previous words, Izuku Midoriya said righteously:
"First, I will never join the enemy's organization; my dream is to become a hero."
"Secondly, if it involves stealing someone else's personality, I would never accept it even if it were given to me as a gift."
"Third, the League of Villains' goal is to kill All Might, do you think I don't know that?"
After hearing Izuku Midoriya's words, AFO was silent for a moment, then burst into laughter:
“That’s right, my goal is to kill All Might, that guy is the person I hate the most!”
All For One suddenly stood up and took two or three steps to stand in front of Izuku Midoriya, facing him with his face that had turned into a tumor. Midoriya, not to be outdone, stared back at All For One.
"You see my face now, right? All Might almost killed me back then. Even though I survived, I can only look like this now. It's ridiculous, isn't it?"
"That's right! You brought this on yourself. All Might is a hero of justice!"
Midoriya, who idolizes All Might, would never doubt that the "Symbol of Peace" would do anything wrong; there are only shameless villains who bring trouble upon themselves.
"This is really infuriating."
Five metal branches suddenly extended from AFO's hand and instantly pierced Izuku Midoriya's body. Midoriya, who wanted to fight back, felt his body go limp and collapsed to the ground.
"All Might, that guy's Quirk is called 'One For All'!"
"All Might... his personality..."
Hearing AFO's words, Izuku Midoriya was paralyzed and lay on the ground, only able to barely speak.
"I created the 'One For All' Quirk; it possesses the ability to store and transfer power. All Might is the eighth inheritor."
"What......"
Even the paralyzed and powerless Izuku Midoriya was astonished by what All Might said. All Might's Quirk was a secret that all of Japan wanted to know, but the truth was something else entirely...
"It's ridiculous, isn't it? The 'Quirk' I created was ultimately inherited by All Might, almost killing me, its creator."
"However, 'One For All' is currently in Mirio Togata's possession; All Might passed his Quirk on to him."
"Million-dollar senior..."
Izuku Midoriya felt a pang of bitterness. He hadn't expected that Mirio Togata, rumored to be All Might's successor, would truly be so. Was he really All Might's successor? He was truly envious...
"What do you want to do...?"
Now was not the time to be distracted. Izuku Midoriya could feel the metal branch that had penetrated his body and rendered him powerless transmitting something into him.
"Of course, I'm giving you a big gift! I'm really looking forward to our second meeting, and I've prepared this gift in advance."
"asshole......"
Izuku Midoriya naturally understood what AFO meant, but he felt extreme disgust! He absolutely did not want this kind of quirk that plundered others!
Prelude to Chapter 113
"Are you sure it's this place?"
"Yes, according to the enemy intelligence 'Eraser Head' gave us, people with these characteristics were seen loitering around here a few days ago."
At the police station, Ormight and his friend, Officer Takuna, have located the hideout of the League of Villains. The key clue is a man named "Chabi" with obvious stitches on his face. Patrolling police officers noticed that he had been seen in a secluded bar recently.
"Then let's prepare for action immediately!"
All Might pressed his large hand on the target map, while behind him, Millionaire, Endeavor, Mountain Heroine, Forest Warrior... the heroes were already ready, the time for the counterattack had come!
At the hospital, some of the students who were attacked during the forest training camp were poisoned and unconscious. Although they are not in serious condition, they are still under observation in the hospital. The other students are currently on summer vacation and are free to do whatever they want at home. Most of them are also worried about their classmates and have formed groups to visit the hospitalized students regularly.
"Hello, Shin-chan."
"It's Todoroki Shoto from Class A... and is this guy here too?"
The three people who bumped into each other in the hospital corridor were Todoroki Shoto, who patiently greeted them, Shinso Hitoshi, who maintained his usual deadpan expression, and Bakugo Katsuki, who clearly looked very unhappy and turned his head to the side.
"Thank you so much for your help in the forest."
"Why thank him? I could easily take down that enemy!"
Todoroki bowed and thanked him, while Bakugo stubbornly defended himself with a displeased look, and Shinso Hitoshi just scratched the back of his head... It was just "a matter of speaking up".
During the forest training camp, it wasn't just Mandalay Cat and her friends who were attacked by the enemy; the students inside the forest were also ambushed. At that time, Todoroki Shoto and Bakugo Katsuki were a team, and they happened to encounter a death row inmate named "Moonfish." Not only was the inmate's personality troublesome, but the difference in combat experience also put Todoroki and Bakugo at a complete disadvantage.
Then... with the appearance of a shadowy behemoth, the "Moonfish" that had been giving Todoroki and Bakugo such a headache was instantly killed by the shadowy behemoth with a single slap, the power of which also leveled a large area of trees in the forest.
Todoroki and Bakugo were immediately stunned. When the shadow beast opened its mouth, they realized that it was Tokoyami Takage inside. Tokoyami looked dazed and confused. At that moment, Shinso Hitoshi and Shoji Mezo ran out of the forest.
Later, it was learned that after seeing Shoji being injured by the enemy, Tokoyami lost control of his "shadow" and went berserk. When the shadow turned into a giant shadow beast and rampaged, Shinso arrived. Tokoyami immediately cooperated with Shinso to trigger the "brainwashing" effect and became a puppet and was controlled.
Although Tokoyami's "shadow" has its own consciousness, it is actually a part of Tokoyami himself. After "brainwashing" and controlling Tokoyami, the shadow also becomes a puppet of Shinso Hitoshi. Moreover, Tokoyami, who is hidden in the mouth of the Shadow Beast, will not be affected by the shock and will not wake up on his own. It can be said to be a very good combination.
With the berserk Shadow Beast as a powerful ally, Shinso Hitoshi took it to the place where he was fighting the enemy. He controlled the Shadow Beast to kill the enemy with a single slap. The huge difference in strength shocked everyone.
This is one of the reasons why Shinso Hitoshi played a significant role in the forest training camp not long ago. Enemies who were aware of his "brainwashing" personality and were on guard were directly crushed by the shadow behemoth that he controlled.
"The League of Villains' operation was too sudden, and we had no idea what they wanted to do by kidnapping Midoriya."
While Todoroki Shoto was analyzing the situation but was completely baffled, Shinso Hitoshi hesitated for a moment... then spoke up:
"When the police asked me to help pry open the enemy's mouth, I got a little bit of information... Don't tell anyone else."
"The enemy's leader seems to value Midoriya highly... The League of Villains' mission is to 'invite' Midoriya Izuku unharmed."
For a moment, Shoto Todoroki and Katsuki Bakugo both widened their eyes in surprise. The amount of information Shinso had given them was so overwhelming that it was astonishing.
"So you're saying those damn enemies want to recruit Deku to defect? Are they out of their minds, or are they just plain stupid?!"
Katsuki Bakugo seemed to have heard the most ridiculous joke, and he said viciously:
"Although I hate to admit it, that guy Dekisugi is more like a hero than anyone else. Getting him to do bad things is probably harder than getting him to die!"
"Bakugo is right. No matter how many setbacks Midoriya suffers, he will never give up on becoming a hero."
Todoroki Shoto spoke sincerely, saying that Midoriya Izuku, as a "Quirkless" individual, had reached his current level by climbing step by step from the very bottom through his own efforts.
"Hmm... Izuku Midoriya is definitely someone who can become a hero."
Shinso Hitoshi, who also firmly believed in Midoriya, overheard everything, along with two girls standing by the corner wall of the hospital.
"Izuku-kun... you must be safe and sound..."
"Midori-kun will definitely be rescued by All Might and the heroes!"
Yue Shan was worried and praying, while Ochako tried her best to cheer her on. Both of them hoped that Midoriya Izuku would return safely.
At school, Famei looked at the pile of broken mechanical armor in front of her, as well as the "Death Gauntlet" and "King of Storms" that Izuku Midoriya hadn't had time to take from his dormitory. Since these were the property of Izuku Midoriya's "Support Section", the police handed them over to the school, and the teachers entrusted them to her for safekeeping.
"Babies~~Are they all damaged like this? This is really worrying..."
Akira stretched, then picked up his tools and walked towards the pile of damaged mechanical armor, starting to work with his hands:
"Let's fix it first, otherwise Little Green Valley won't have any equipment to use when he comes back."
The worries of classmates and friends, the tears of mother Inoko Midoriya, the heroes and police officers who are urgently taking action, and in that place...
------------------
Inside a huge factory, which seemed to be an abandoned and deserted place, there were cultivation tanks on both sides of the factory, and humanoid monsters were wriggling inside, which were none other than the Brainless!
In the empty center of the factory, Izuku Midoriya warily shielded Kota behind him, while the man facing him was none other than the bloodthirsty, muscular man he had once fought against, and who now looked far from presentable...
Two black cylinders pierced through the muscular man's shoulders, and two cylinders were inserted into the muscles of his thighs. There was also a cylinder inserted into the center of his chest.
"You disobeyed my orders. I was initially thinking your personality was alright and planned to turn you into a 'Nomu,' but now I've changed my mind."
Standing on the second floor of the factory, All For One spoke to the muscular man below, and also to Izuku Midoriya:
"See that little boy? Kill him and I'll let you go, but you can't hurt Izuku Midoriya, okay? Otherwise, the black catheter in your body will inject a nerve agent directly, turning you into a mindless null."
All For One uttered these cruel words with a smile, and the atmosphere in the factory instantly turned icy cold. The muscular man stared intently at Kota with bloodthirsty eyes, his purpose singular:
"I can only survive by killing this brat!"
Just as Kota was about to lose his balance in fear, Izuku Midoriya placed his hand on his head and declared as if making a vow:
I will protect you!
Chapter 114 Malice
All For One has retrieved the metal branch in his hand; the transfer he made is complete. Now it's up to Izuku Midoriya to see how he performs.
With barely enough strength left to stand, Midoriya angrily questioned:
What exactly do you want to do?
"It's nothing, I just really admire you, this is just a gift I prepared especially for you."
Faced with the dismissive and irrelevant attitude of "all for one," Izuku Midoriya could only suppress his anger. Kota was still in the enemy's hands... He couldn't act impulsively.
"You can choose to leave now."
"what?!"
The words "all for one" surprised and puzzled Izuku Midoriya. The enemy had caused such a huge disturbance that brought him here, but now the man in front of him was telling him to leave. What kind of conspiracy was this?
"You were invited as a guest, so we won't force you to exercise your personal freedom."
With an exaggerated smile, AFO said that Izuku Midoriya absolutely did not believe a word from the leader of the League of Villains, but it didn't matter now... The most important thing was:
"Where's Kota?! That little boy you kidnapped, I'm taking him with me."
"Is that little boy named Kota?"
Afo suddenly realized something, tapped his temple with his finger, and then looked at Izuku Midoriya with an expression that suggested he had no eyes:
"As the hostage who made you behave, I've taken good care of him."
"I want to see Kota!"
Izuku Midoriya's blunt words were met with AFO's response, who spread their hands in a gesture of resignation:
"No problem~"
As he finished speaking, a portal to the black mist appeared, rotating within the room, and Afo gestured with his right hand.
"That child is right across from the 'door,' he must be terrified right now, right?"
With an angry glare at All For One, Izuku Midoriya stepped directly into the portal of the black mist, while AFO gave a terrifying smile and followed him in.
Across from the "door," Izuku Midoriya stepped out and found himself inside an abandoned factory. He immediately noticed the incubation tanks on either side of the factory, filled with writhing humanoid monsters—all Nomu…
A sense of dread rose within Midoriya. What was the purpose of that man called All For One who had trained so many Nomu?!
