Hopeless.
This was what everyone felt at that moment.
Every hero that came out was taken down.
Even All-Might was in a condition that was far from good. Instead, his condition was so horrible that one was unable to think that he was the symbol of peace. The robust and reliable body was no longer there. All that was left was a skeleton-like body, which was thin and far from healthy.
Many wondered what they should do at this moment since they felt the peace that they enjoyed at this moment was about to crumble.
"Get up..."
It was only a single voice, but this single voice slowly spread in every direction.
"All-Might, stand up!"
"Don't give up!"
"If you're not there, who can defeat them?"
Everyone screamed.
Their voices, emotions, and hopes became one.
Even Midoriya and Bakugou also stopped their ways and screamed the name of All-Might with their might.
All-Might could do anything.
As long as All-Might was around, he could save everyone.
All-Might was the number one hero.
Even if his figure had become a skeleton and sick, no one could believe he would lose.
"ALL MIGHT!"
All-Might could hear their voices, feelings, and everything. His body was blazing with this fire-like emotion. It was burning hot, and he just wanted to unleash it.
Unfortunately, in front of the overwhelming power, everything was meaningless.
Voice? Emotion? Hope?
What was the use of that?
Everything was meaningless in front of the power!
As All-Might was about to stand up, a fist was smashed into his stomach.
Hokusai had been worried about All-Might, so he didn't give him a chance and quickly defeated him with the black All-Might.
"Guwah!"
The amber-like fire on his soul dissipated, and all that was left was pure white ash.
Nothing remained.
He had lost.
The symbol of peace and hope was lost.
Everyone had fallen into deeper despair, but no one could say anything.
"Wh-What should we do?"
"We should help All-Might?"
"Helping? Do you want to get killed?!"
Many started to fight and argue with each other, including the government, law enforcers, and many others. They couldn't let All-For-One and Hokusai rampage and destroy the peace of this country any longer, but who could stop them?
"Hahaha... how do you feel? How do you feel, All-Might? Sad? Despair? This was what I had felt before! Taste it! Feel it."
All-For-One laughed as he spoke loudly as he watched All-Might lower his head and was unable to exert his power.
"Sensei, you're a bit too loud."
"Haha... sorry, sorry." All-For-One smiled, then glanced in the direction of Mineta before he looked at Hokusai. "So, what do you plan to do after this?"
"This stage is a bit too small, Sensei." Hokusai looked at the helicopter from the television and said, "I want to make this stage bigger."
"Oh? I don't know what you're planning to do, but I will support you."
All-For-One didn't know what Hokusai was planning to do, but he knew Hokusai was his best ally at that moment.
"The helicopter over there!" Hokusai shouted and said, "Come closer! Record us and don't stop the broadcast, or I will visit your broadcasting company, destroy everything, and kill everyone."
"....."
The female MC, cameraman, and pilot stayed in silence for a while, but they couldn't maintain their calm any longer.
"Wh-What to do?!"
"...just follow his words."
"They're villains!"
"So what?! Do you want to be killed here?!"
"....."
No one said anything this time, and they could only lower the helicopter in the direction of All-For-One and Hokusai.
The government wanted to stop the broadcast, but they were scolded by the broadcasting company since All-For-One and Hokusai had hostages. If they could take responsibility for those hostages being killed, then go ahead and forcefully close their broadcast rights!
The only thing that the government was afraid of was taking responsibility, so they couldn't say anything and just let the broadcast continue since they wanted to know what Hokusai wanted to say.
All-For-One, black All-Might, and Hokusai.
When the three of them stood next to each other, everyone subconsciously gulped.
The pitiful cameraman ordered by Hokusai to perfectly capture their image.
Everything was ready, and Hokusai, who was in the middle, started to give a speech.
"Everyone, who is living in this country, please don't fear me."
Hokusai smiled, showing an amiable and gentle smile, which made it hard for people to imagine that this person was a villain.
However, many gritted their teeth since they didn't know who Hokusai was.
Unlike the villains in the League of Villains, only Hokusai's information wasn't known, which made them frustrated.
"Let me tell you that in this battle, no one is killed. We have done our best, so no one will be hurt in this battle."
"....." Everyone.
All-For-One wanted to laugh, but he endured it.
"I am sure that everyone is curious about us." His expression changed and became solemn.
"What is happening? Why must a tragedy happen to us? Why must we fight each other? Naturally, many will think of us as villains since we are fighting against the heroes, but who has decided it? Villains evil? Are heroes righteous? Those terms have always changed throughout the course of history! Kids who have never seen peace and kids who have never seen war have different values. Those who stand at the top determine what's wrong and what's right! This very place is neutral ground! Justice will prevail, you say? But of course, it will! Whoever wins this war becomes justice!
"So we will fight!"
Hokusai looked at the camera and shouted, "People! Fear for us or seek us as you, please! We are the League of Villains!" He smiled like a devil and said, "Yes, we don't deny we're villains, but please don't fear us since we have always stood on the side of those who do not have weapons! So whether you're discriminated against, hurt, deceived, or whatever the situation you have received because of something you can't control from birth, we will tell you that we will always be by your side! We're your ally! We're those salvations that you have been waiting for!"
"...."
Everyone was in a daze.
Everyone, at this moment, quickly understood what Hokusai planned to do.
While All-For-One was surprised and also became happy, the rest, especially the government, panicked, and they quickly fought each other, arguing about who would take responsibility in case something happened.
"The government has always hidden everything. They have always wanted to show how bright, peaceful, and happy the people in this country are while hiding all of us who can only live in the dark sewer. Even if we don't want to, we're being labeled as devils, villains, criminals, terrorists, or whatever.
"What did we do wrong? We just want to invite our friend, Mineta Minoru, to our place to have tea and eat something while playing a game, but because of that, everyone has labeled us as villains. How sad is that, right?"
"....." Everyone.
"So, we fight! We will fight this unjust act! We will no longer tolerate this injustice! Like now, we have punished their envoy for justice! All-Might, Endeavor, and many others, we will punish all of them to show our unbreakable will! As for whoever will come later, we will also do the same! We won't stand by and allow this cruel action to take place any longer!
"Naturally, I won't repudiate fighting. But neither will I stand for one-sided slaughter by the strong!"
'Weak? Who's weak?' Everyone.
"Those who are ready to fight are those who are prepared to pay the price!
"Where those with power attack those without, we shall appear again! No matter how great a power our enemy possesses!"
Hokusai raised one of his arms and said, "Those of you with power, fear us!" Then he raised his other arm and shouted, "Those who have none, seek us!
"For us, the League of Villains shall judge this world!"
