I, without any personality, become a hero!

"Yes... heroes are just that kind of idiots!"

Blood continued to flow, but Izuku Midoriya remained standing upright, answering the enemy earnestly.

Chapter 116 Golden Spirit

The portal of the black mist opened again, and Toga Himiko, Chabi, the magician... all the members of the League of Villains arrived at the abandoned factory. They watched with curiosity what was happening before their eyes, the battle between the battered Izuku Midoriya and the muscular man.

"Open your eyes and look carefully. He is Izuku Midoriya, the one who will become your partner in the future."

Afo smiled. It was now necessary to introduce his "enemy alliance" members to their future leader.

"The Grim Reaper on Steel Wire... He doesn't look like the one on TV news at all?"

Chabi looked at Midoriya Izuku below with a suspicious gaze, who was covered in wounds and in a sorry state, dodging the muscular man's attacks.

"I...I'm in love!!"

With her face flushed, Toga saw Midoriya covered in blood, and her heart raced. She shyly covered her face... She wanted to see Midoriya bleed more.

"Does the teacher value this kid that much?"

Shigaraki Tomura was curious; it was the first time he had ever seen All For One care so much about someone else, and he couldn't help but wonder what was so noteworthy about this kid named Midoriya Izuku.

..................

In the center of the abandoned factory, Izuku Midoriya and his enemy are fighting a bloody battle. Although the muscular man dares not use lethal force to attack the kid in front of him due to AFO's orders, his own strong muscles and fists are still quite lethal.

Desperately dodging the attacks, Midoriya could only rely on his quicker reflexes and speed, but the attacks from the enemy in front of him were completely ineffective, as the protection formed by the muscle fibers on the muscular man's body could not be penetrated.

However, the muscular man's target wasn't Izuku Midoriya. He was also tired of dealing with this annoying kid in front of him. Now, he just wanted to kill the "Waterhouse" brat as soon as possible so that he could save his own life.

As his muscle fibers expanded, the muscular man's right hand suddenly grew larger and larger, sweeping Midoriya Izuku aside with his arm. Then he charged directly at Kota, who was hiding in the distance.

"Kid, this time you're going to meet your mom and dad in hell!"

Just as the muscular man was about to crush the terrified, tearful Kota to death, someone charged at an even faster speed.

"Bajiquan: Iron Mountain Lean"

Izuku Midoriya charged forward at full speed and with all his might, unleashing a powerful attack that sent the muscular man flying before he could get close to Kota. The muscular man crashed to the ground and smashed the Nomu's culture tank into pieces.

"Don't go near him, you piece of trash!"

Izuku Midoriya cursed angrily, but his right arm was already hanging limply. The powerful Iron Mountain Strike he had just unleashed was so strong that the recoil had almost destroyed his right arm.

"I've changed my mind!"

Throwing aside the still-developing Nomu that was pressing down on him, the muscular man stood up and glared fiercely at Izuku Midoriya. He looked up and asked AFO on the second floor:

"You said as long as that kid doesn't die, everything will be fine, right?"

"No problem, I always keep my word."

Afo replied with a smile, saying that with his "super regeneration" quirk, he could perfectly revive Izuku Midoriya even if he was on his last breath. So let's make the scene a little more exciting from here on out.

"That's good, now I'll play with you to your heart's content! Steel Wire Kid!"

The muscular man revealed a bloodthirsty smile, then charged towards Izuku Midoriya, grinning maliciously:

"This time I'll beat you until you're barely alive and can't get up anymore."

Despite his terrible physical condition, Izuku Midoriya silently charged at the muscular man again, with only one goal in mind!

Protect Kota!

Even if I only have one breath left, I must protect this child!

The two men clashed, their fists colliding. Midoriya's right arm swelled up, and blood gushed out as his arm burst open. Despite this, he gritted his teeth and swung his left arm to strike the muscular man.

The muscular man, who had easily blocked Midoriya's punch, said mockingly:

"A 'Quirkless' character wants to fight me, an 'Enhancement-type'? Without those troublesome steel wires and armor, do you think you can win?"

"It's not about whether we can win or not..."

Dodging the muscular man's punch with his sideways movement, Midoriya endured the excruciating pain throughout his body and roared through gritted teeth:

"We absolutely must win!!"

"Heroes can overcome adversity."

These were All Might's words, and Izuku Midoriya always kept them in mind, never giving up hope and never giving up easily. A hero is someone who risks their life to protect others.

"Ahhhhh!!"

Midoriya roared, no longer considering tactics or dodging attacks. He had only one goal now: to beat the muscle-bound bastard in front of him to a pulp before he fell.

Despite sustaining more injuries, he didn't care! He couldn't inflict any effective damage on the muscular man, but that didn't matter! Izuku Midoriya now had to defeat this enemy.

The fist that was about to strike Izuku Midoriya's head again was caught by his jaws, his teeth biting down hard, blood trickling down...

The muscular man froze, then forcefully pulled his right fist out. Looking at the deep teeth marks and the gushing blood, he roared in fury:

"You little bastard, you're asking for it!!"

"You're finally injured and bleeding..."

Midoriya's reply, coupled with his own injury and bleeding, made the muscular man even more ferocious. He swung his fists and kept punching the person in front of him. For a while, Midoriya was being beaten like a punching bag.

"Green... Green Valley..."

Kota knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, watching the hero who fought desperately to protect him, who would never give up even when covered in wounds and blood. So... so!

"Don't lose!"

A weak stream of water shot directly into the muscular man's left eye, instantly diverting his attention to the little brat beside him.

His legs trembled uncontrollably with fear, but Kota still managed to stand, shouting:

"Don't lose to the bad guys who killed your parents, you're a hero!!"

"Stinky brat!"

The muscular man turned his ferocious, bloodthirsty gaze to Kota, unable to resist the urge to go and kill this brat left behind by "Waterhouse" right now.

"Ah! Of course..."

Kota's water attack on the muscular man, while causing no harm to the enemy, did soothe Izuku Midoriya somewhat. He answered Kota's question and roared at the muscular man before him:

"A hero will never lose to the enemy!!"

Grabbing tightly against his enemy's arms, the muscular man suddenly turned around. This kid... this kid's strength?!?

He was suppressed! The muscular man with the "muscle fiber" quirk was actually outmatched in strength by Izuku Midoriya, who had no quirk!?

Faced with such a vast disparity in strength, let us bridge it with our passion, our spirit, and everything we have!

Izuku Midoriya ignored the groans of his bones and the unbearable pain in his body, determined to defeat the enemy before him, even at the cost of his life!

The muscular man, gradually being suppressed, was filled with shock and disbelief... What's wrong with this kid?!

Equally surprising was All For One. This wasn't the Quirk he gave to Izuku Midoriya, yet he managed to suppress that "Enhancement" Quirk with his own power. It was unbelievable!

"A hero is someone who must defeat the enemy!!"

Midoriya roared, using life-burning power to forcefully press down on the muscular man's arms, and at the same instant! An uppercut punch!

His right arm was battered and broken, yet it was infused with all of Izuku Midoriya's power—his spirit, his passion, his conviction! All of it was contained in that single punch!!

The muscular man, stunned and speechless, was struck squarely on the chin by Izuku Midoriya's full-force punch!

Smash him away!

The muscular man was sent flying and slammed hard against the wall of the abandoned factory, smashing several culture tanks before collapsing to the ground, motionless.

"Midori! Midoriya!!"

Kota was shedding tears, but this time they were tears of excitement from witnessing his hero's victory. This was his hero!

"That's amazing... Now I finally understand why All Might values ​​you so much!"

The exclamation of "all for one" was still somewhat disbelief in Nighteye's prophecy about the future, but now there was no more hesitation. This young man before him would become a great hero, surpassing All Might.

However, if he becomes an enemy, he will be the "Grim Reaper" that everyone fears and dreads.

Chapter 117 Dark Will

Izuku Midoriya collapsed to his knees on the ground. His attack had exhausted him, and now his body felt like an overloaded machine, with pain, fatigue, and weakness all rushing back at once... But...

It's not over yet!

Izuku Midoriya weakly raised his head and looked at All For One and the League of Villains on the second floor. He had to find a way to get Kota out of there unharmed.

"That was really well done, Midoriya-kun! I didn't expect you to actually defeat this guy. Now you can take Kota-kun with you."

"......"

Without speaking or intending to reply, Izuku Midoriya struggled to his feet and, with Kota's support, headed towards the gate of the abandoned factory. All he wanted was to get out of there safely.

"What a useless guy."

All For One muttered to himself, and when Izuku Midoriya and the others turned away and couldn't see him anymore, his fingers extended metal branches that pierced the muscular man lying on the other side of the culture tank. When the plan failed, he could only cheat quietly.

A moment later, the metal branch quickly retracted into Afo's hand, while the muscular man who had been lying unconscious in the culture tank got up, shook his dizzy brain, and was still unaware of what had happened.

"Oh my, I didn't expect you to wake up. I was planning to turn you, this useless guy, into a brainless nucleus."

Afo's pretentious words to the muscular man were also heard by Izuku Midoriya, who was leading Kota towards the door. He turned around in surprise. The man who had just collapsed had actually woken up! How could this be?

"Damn brat, and those Waterhouse brats, don't even think about escaping!!"

Upon hearing Afo's words, the muscular man immediately understood the situation and frantically rushed towards the two who were about to walk out the door. Midoriya could only pull Kota away to avoid them.

"Teacher, you cheated...!"

Shigaraki Tomura whispered from the side, while All For One blushed and coughed as he spoke:

"We're bad people to begin with, so cheating is to be expected."

"That's not wrong..."

Shigaraki Tomura remained silent. If one doesn't learn to be a little more despicable and shameless, what kind of enemy is he? He should have become a hero long ago.

Izuku Midoriya is in a terrible situation. After fighting tooth and nail to defeat the muscular man, he is now too weak to even walk. And now the enemy has woken up and is attacking again, making the situation extremely critical.

"Kota, push open the door! Get out!!"

Izuku Midoriya's final order: They had reached the gate of the abandoned factory, just one step away from escape. Now, all they needed to do was for Kota to escape safely.

With his last ounce of strength barely holding on, Midoriya charged toward the muscular man, hoping to buy Kota time to escape, as every second he could hold him off was precious.

"Don't get in my way!"

The muscular man had no time to deal with Izuku Midoriya this time. If he didn't kill that brat soon, he might really be doomed.

Having been knocked down in a single blow, Midoriya Izuku had neither the strength to dodge nor the strength to stand up, but...

Kota couldn't push open the gate of the abandoned factory. The steel gate was difficult for even an adult to open, let alone a 7-year-old child, while the muscular man pressed closer to him.

"Don't...go near him..."

With his right hand gripping the muscular man's foot tightly, Midoriya Izuku used his last bit of strength to stop the enemy. The muscular man, however, had no time or inclination to pay attention to him and simply dragged Midoriya away.

"Mom and Dad... Midoriya..."

In despair, Kota stared at the muscular man standing before him. This man had killed his parents, and Izuku Midoriya, despite his desperate efforts, couldn't stop him. Was he really going to die here...?

"Damn brat, I can live as long as I kill you!"

The muscular man grinned bloodthirstyly, then grabbed Kota and lifted him into the air. Seeing the fear and terror on Kota's face, the muscular man felt extremely happy.

"Let him go..."

Midoriya tried his best to punch the enemy, but he didn't even have the strength to stand up, let alone the laughable power of his punches. However, his behavior also annoyed the muscle man.

"Get lost!"

The muscular man kicked Izuku Midoriya away, and Midoriya, who fell to the ground some distance away, tried to get up, but his severely injured body and exhausted strength made it impossible for him to stand up.

"Midori!!"

Kouta, who was being hoisted into the air and shouting in worry, was met with a sinister grin from the muscular man, who said to him:

"Kid, you'd better worry about yourself. He won't die, but you're about to be killed by me!"
