I, without any personality, become a hero!

The surprise and panic in Midoriya Inoko's voice revealed that she only learned what had happened after she arrived in the United States. Her child and husband had been hiding such a big thing from her. During this time, she cried more than once because of her worry, and she immediately wanted to take a plane back to Japan.

However, Midoriya's father stopped his wife, because it was a request entrusted to him by his proud son. He used all sorts of comforting words and relentless pleading to keep Midoriya in America.

However, since Midoriya hasn't contacted him during this time, not only Midoriya Inoko, but even Midoriya's father is extremely worried. He even plans to return to Japan with his wife to look for Izuku.

But now he finally felt relieved. He handed the phone call from his son directly to his wife, letting Midoriya Inoko have a good talk with Izuku.

"Mom, I'm sorry... I lied to you."

"It's okay...it's okay, as long as you're alright, Deku!"

Hearing her child's words was more important than anything else, and tears streamed down Midoriya Inoko's face. She had been worried sick about him for a long time.

"Um........"

Afterwards, Midoriya talked a lot with his parents, explaining what had happened to him during this time, even though these things were things that no outsiders could know... because the last people he should hide things from were his parents, and Izuku knew he had caused them too much worry.

Words of worry and words of comfort... more than two hours passed on and off, and Midoriya Inoko and Midoriya's father were finally relieved. No matter what, their child was someone they could be proud of.

At the very end, Inoko Midoriya picked up the phone and earnestly spoke to her child:

“Izuku, come to America! Even if you still want to be a hero, Mom won’t object anymore. Besides, Mom and Dad are here.”

“Here you can become a hero again. Mom knows that your dream has never changed, Izuku.”

"........."

Midoriya remained silent. His mother's words deeply moved him. His dream of becoming a hero had never ended. If he went to America... he could start over there.

But... but not now...

"I'm sorry, Mom. I'll stay in Japan for now. I'll come to America to see you and Dad once things are settled here."

"Um........"

After the call ended, Midoriya reflected on everything that had happened so far. Going to America now would indeed allow him to escape everything... but he couldn't; he still had things he had to do.

Upon entering his room, Midoriya opened a small box in the closet. Inside were items he used for disguises, as his current appearance was too conspicuous.

Everyone knows Izuku Midoriya's image because he gained attention after the U.A. High School Games, but the image of "Kaguya Aoi" has only appeared a few times online. In addition, he always covers the lower half of his face with a scarf, so many people don't know what he looks like.

After dyeing his hair black and completely changing his hairstyle, "Akatani Kaiun" left Midoriya's house and is now going to another place.

Midoriya walked on the street without attracting attention. After all, the image of "Akatani Kaiun" had only appeared during covert operations. The last time he was recognized as "Hero Killer" was because he was with Mirio-senpai, and at that time he was already very well-known.

Online trends always come in waves. A person who was once known to the whole nation might not even be remembered after a while. Therefore, Midoriya disguised himself and walked openly down the street, eventually arriving at his desired destination.

Seaside Park, the place where he wanted to become a hero and where his dream began, is a place that Midoriya fondly remembers. It has his secret base and the modified exercise equipment, all of which remain intact to this day.

For some reason, he came here. Midoriya looked at everything here with great nostalgia. He had rarely come here since he entered U.A. High School. Maybe it would be a long time before anyone found out.

But it doesn't matter anymore... Midoriya's right hand transformed into a steel wire, several silver lights flashed around him, followed by a loud bang.

The collapse of the mountain of electrical appliance waste turned the original secret base into ruins, and the modified exercise equipment was also broken into pieces, no longer the same as before.

"Let's say goodbye to everything that was before."

Turning away, this was the beginning of his dream of becoming a hero, so he would bury it with his own hands.

On his way back to Kanno Ward, Midoriya strolled aimlessly down the street. The city he had lived in since childhood was still the same. People were busy working, and young children smiled as they looked at the hero figures in the display cases... Everything was so peaceful.

But... there are always those who wantonly do evil and disrupt this peace.

An explosion suddenly rang out, black smoke and flames erupted, and a giant werewolf, three meters tall, charged out... Midoriya recognized him; he was the guy he had arrested at the beginning, who was later handed over to the police by the heroes and imprisoned.

However, a riot recently broke out inside the prison where the enemy was being held, and many vicious "enemies" escaped. Midoriya had seen this news on the news.

Was it a coincidence? Was it fate? ... The "enemy" who escaped from prison came before the "hero" who first subdued him, wreaking havoc on everything around him.

Seemingly being chased by a hero, the giant werewolf shifted its target to a group of children surrounding the display counter outside the window, and charged straight at them without hesitation, seemingly intending to grab the children as hostages.

The children huddled together in fear, the bystanders who watched but dared not intervene, the hero who was slow to arrive, and the crucial moment of helplessness and despair.

The black-haired "Grim Reaper" slowly passed by, a flash of silver light passing by. The giant werewolf's charging movement stopped and froze in place. The frightened children... the bewildered passersby... the belated hero.

As the black-haired "Grim Reaper" departed, the werewolf, gushing blood, crumbled into pieces of flesh that scattered on the ground...

When the two heroes finally arrived at the scene, Milin Shenwei and Shanling Nüxia, all they found were chunks of flesh and blood scattered on the ground, along with frightened passersby and children. The person who caused all of this had long since disappeared without a trace.

Chapter 166 The Last Gift

Is one's behavior "just" or "evil"?

Izuku Midoriya didn't care. How others viewed him was their opinion, and all he needed to do was understand what he was doing.

The two children's letters made Midoriya realize that everything he had done was worthwhile... At least for the innocent people who wanted to live peaceful lives, killing the evildoers who were causing chaos was the best outcome.

Because he is no longer a "hero," but an "enemy."

Heroes and police officers have limited power; they must abide by the laws of society to perform their duties. However, the law is a set of fixed rules, and there will always be areas where punishment cannot be determined.

There's a reason why enemies always cause trouble: they know that once they're arrested by heroes and the police, they'll basically be imprisoned, and even if they're sentenced to death... they might die in prison and the death penalty won't actually be carried out.

Midoriya had thought about this a lot before, but in the face of his dream of becoming a hero, all his doubts were overshadowed. But now that he is the "enemy," all of that is irrelevant.

"Then... let's slowly erase the stains on this society."

What exactly does "symbol of peace" refer to? The ordinary citizens would naturally answer All Might, because once he personally appears, the enemy will surely be defeated, and those in need of help will surely be saved. He is such a legendary hero.

Midoriya naturally viewed things that way since he was a child, but his thoughts have changed now, probably because of what happened back then... regarding Stain.

Of course, Midoriya couldn't possibly agree with the nonsense spouted by that "hero killer." If he were standing in front of him right now, Midoriya would probably kill him without hesitation. It's just that Midoriya Izuku is feeling this way now.

The world only needs pure "heroes" like All Might, a principle that Midoriya naturally disregards... What kind of nonsense is that?

Heroes, police officers, firefighters, doctors... For those who are rescued, the person who saves their life is their "hero." Moreover, in today's society, being a hero is a "profession." Even if money is accepted, the fact that they at least help others is undeniable. Therefore, he ignores the crazy talk.

But now... Midoriya is thinking about another question. Stain's words make some sense, though on a different level... Instead of purging the fake heroes, what if we purged and eliminated the enemies who were causing trouble and doing evil?

All Might is the "symbol of peace" because his arrival always saves those in trouble, and his enemies are always defeated and captured.

However, whether for the sake of a positive image or according to Japanese law, heroes will not kill enemies; they will only arrest them and hand them over to the police.

Compared to the consequences of the crimes committed by enemies, the price they are punished for is far too lenient, which is why there are always evil enemies emerging in society.

Izuku Midoriya's current thought is to bring those who commit heinous crimes to their due punishment. Bad guys always rely on their powerful strength to despise and trample on innocent people.

So let me do my part and let these wicked people experience the pain of being trampled on.

Perhaps this way... society will be more peaceful?

"Midori-kun, you look so cool right now!"

Back at the League of Villains, Izuku Midoriya hadn't even sat down when Toga was already wrapped around him; this girl was now fixated on him.

"Excuse me... could you move a little further away from me?"

"I don't want to, unless you agree to date me!"

Toga was throwing a tantrum and acting cute, while the other members of the "League of Villains" just watched without saying anything, because an urgent news report was being broadcast on the bar's TV.

The image shows a werewolf "enemy" that has been blurred out and dismembered into pieces. Now, a reporter is interviewing a frightened child who says he saw a black-haired older brother walk past him.

Comparing this familiar style of killing to Izuku Midoriya's current appearance, everyone knew that this kid had just returned from killing someone.

The other members of the League of Villains now have a sense of fear towards Izuku Midoriya. This kid's ruthless style and terrifying way of killing truly live up to his title of "Steel Wire Grim Reaper." No wonder All For One values ​​him so much.

Midoriya didn't care what others thought. He was now an "enemy," so he might as well act like an enemy and do as he pleased.

At that moment, Kuroki, who was wiping the wine glass in his hand, put down his work and slowly said to Midoriya Izuku:

"Midori-kun, I have some information I'd like to share. I wonder if you'd be interested?"

"What news?"

Since I'm just listening to what's going on, I hope Kurogiri won't give me any useless information.

"The 'butcher' you arrested before has also escaped from prison, and he's already killed someone."

"........."

The bar suddenly grew bitterly cold. Midoriya Izuku's killing intent surged uncontrollably. He took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and gritted his teeth as he asked the black mist before him:

"Tell me where that guy is right now!!"

"As you wish."

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

In the dimly lit office lobby, All For One turned off the television. He already knew about the news, and at this moment, only a happy smile appeared on the man's face.

"That's really good, Midoriya-kun... This is perfect... Just like I used to be."

"My body... is almost at its limit."

Allmat suffered a severe injury, with half of his stomach removed. He has been in a weak state ever since and is now extremely thin compared to before.

The other person, All For One, is in an even worse state than All Might. He barely survived after being on the verge of death. His entire face and head have turned into tumors, and his body has reached its limit... This is a situation that is beyond repair.

For over a century, people have used "individuality" to achieve immortality, but this ultimately has its limits.

"Super Regeneration"... "Healing"... "Decomposition and Recombination"... There are so many "quirks" in the world that allow one to heal oneself. Do you think All For One hasn't tried them?

"Personality" is also part of the body, and the body is like a machine. When it is brand new, any problems can be fixed, but too much time has passed, and the whole machine has rusted and can no longer operate. Everything has its limits.

Having lived for over a hundred years, all for one is also tired. He has reached the pinnacle of achievement, and it's about time for him to end it all.

However... before his death, this man's final goal was to pass on his "personality".

Of course... in the end, All Might's face must be filled with despair; this is the final gift left for his "old friend" and the entire society.

Chapter 167 Death's Night Patrol

"The Butcher," a ruthless and cruel enemy, was subdued and captured by "Steel Wire Death" a year ago, and the police imprisoned him in the "Personal Crimes" prison.

The court then sentenced this cruel enemy to death... but the sentence was never carried out.

In Japan, the average waiting time between sentencing and execution for death row inmates is seven years; most death row inmates who commit serious crimes are executed more than 20 years later.

This is why it has been said that some death row inmates may even die in their cells without ever being executed. Perhaps the people who made this law thought that these death row inmates would contribute their remaining energy to atone for their sins, while most prisoners would eventually be sent to heavy labor camps for reform through labor.

Of course, most prisoners with minor offenses would obediently follow orders, but for the "enemies" who had already been sentenced to death, even if the actual death penalty was never carried out, spending their next life in prison was not what they wanted. Therefore... a riot broke out in the prison.

With prior collusion and premeditation, several death row inmates successfully escaped from prison. Faced with the overwhelming manhunt and search by heroes and the police, they all went into hiding and disappeared without a trace.

"Moonfish," one of the death row inmates who escaped from prison, was later introduced to the League of Villains by "Agent." However, during the forest training camp, he was instantly killed by the berserk Tokoyami Tsumugi, controlled by Shinso Hitoshi, and has now returned to prison.

"Bloodthirsty Wolf" easily goes berserk when he smells blood. He once went berserk and brutally murdered more than a dozen innocent civilians. When the hero tried to persuade him to calm down and surrender, he also brutally murdered the professional hero. In the end, the police determined that he was a heinous murderer and had to be arrested. After that, he became an "enemy" and went on the run.

He was subdued and arrested by "Steel Wire Reaper" a year ago. After being handed over to the police by the hero Kamui Miyazaki, he was sentenced to death and imprisoned... Not long ago, he escaped from prison with other death row inmates.

The "Bloodthirsty Wolf," who had been lurking until yesterday, was exposed by the Forest God and the Mountain Heroine. After a fierce chase and battle, he was finally killed by the passing "Steel Wire Reaper."

"Butcher," like the other two, went into hiding and disappeared after escaping from prison. The search efforts by heroes and police after the death row inmates' escape were very intense, as it was a matter of the government's reputation... So even "Butcher" had to lay low for a while.

At first, "Butcher" wanted to take revenge on the kid who had cut off his limbs and thrown him into prison, but when he thought of the kid's death-like gaze, "Butcher" didn't even dare to think about it anymore... Revenge and deliberately courting death are two different things. Even if he fell into the hands of heroes and police, he would at most be locked up in prison again, but if he ran into that kid again, he would probably be dead for sure.

Not wanting to have too much contact with that terrifying "Grim Reaper," "Butcher" has been hiding in the shadows like a sewer rat, afraid to show his face.

As time passed, the heroes and police began to slow down their search efforts, or rather, most of their energy was now focused on the League of Villains.

Now, the long-suppressed "butcher" can no longer hold back and begins to act. He has had enough of this sewer rat life, and he is hungry!

----------------

As night fell over the city, the bright moonlight dispelled the darkness, yet on this beautiful night, not a single pedestrian could be seen in the streets and alleys, for everyone was too afraid to go out due to their fear.

Last night, a horrifying incident occurred in this city. A commuter on his way home from get off work was attacked by an "enemy." When the police on night patrol arrived, only half of his body remained... The "enemy" who caused all of this had already fled. The scene was too gruesome to bear.

This morning, news briefings were intensified, with heroes and police warning citizens not to go out at night. The entire day was dedicated to patrolling and searching for traces of the "enemy," but to no avail.

As night falls, something unexpected happens in a corner of the city: a man is frantically running for his life, seeking help from heroes and the police. However, this man is actually a "butcher" who has committed serious crimes.

"Why...why!?"

The "Butcher" fled so fast he didn't even dare to look back; the fear in his heart had devoured all reason, because a terrifying "Grim Reaper" was approaching from behind.

As night falls, "The Butcher" prepares to act once again, for the arrival of patrolling heroes has forced him to discard his half-eaten meal; he cannot afford to be delayed by the heroes any longer.

The "Butcher," who hurriedly hid back in the sewers, had been hiding there like a rat all this time, which is why the hero and the police had not been able to find him.

As night fell, the Butcher emerged from the sewers, his stomach growling with hunger. He wanted nothing more than to devour anyone—heroes, police officers, anything. The Butcher prepared to attack lone individuals and cruelly consume them.
