Madness

"Say, how about we take a step back? You guys can go back, and we will also go back. It isn't a bad deal, right?" Hokusai asked with a cheerful tone. As of now, he was so helpless. Facing Shigaraki's request, he could only try to stop Mineta, but even so, it was so hard. He knew that Mineta was his nemesis, and he had made up his mind to stop him, but the real battle wasn't so easy.

Mineta was like a monster.

While Hokusai was exhausted, Mineta had bottomless stamina.

Still, Mineta said nothing and ignored Hokusai. However, he had to say that Hokusai was strong, and it was so troublesome to face him, especially with his army of creations.

"You're at your limit, right? There is no reason to throw away your life like this. You have a bright future in front of you."

Hokusai didn't give up, but inwardly, he was still thinking about how to defeat Mineta.

With how fierce their battle was, no one dared to get closer, and they were left alone.

Still, as their fight became even more intense, they noticed the change in the battle on the opposite side.

Yet, Hokusai didn't expect Mineta to suddenly charge in Shigaraki's direction.

"Wait!"

---

When the heroes thought they had the upper hand, a man-like giant suddenly appeared, bringing their hope to a bottom.

Midoriya was also startled, and it gave Shigaraki's chance to put his hand over his head.

"No!"

The Nomus had been aiming for Aizawa, and they tried to stop him from interrupting Shigaraki.

Shigaraki didn't have hesitation, and his purpose for staying in this place had always been to steal Midoriya's Quirk, so by using the power of "All-For-One," he stole "One-For-All."

Yet, how could it be so easy?

The minds of the two merged, and they saw each other inside.

As the power of the "All-For-One" worked, the power of the "One-For-All" also worked.

"Hahaha... it's been a while. How do you do?" All-For-One laughed happily when he saw Nana Shimura.

Who was Nana Shimura?

She was the previous generation of the One-For-All before All-Might.

However, Nana Shimura wasn't alone since all the previous generations of "One-For-All" also appeared, trying to stop the power of "All-For-One."

"All-For-One, you won't succeed! You will fail!"

"Fail? I might think so in the past, but now, I have a lovely, loyal subordinate who can help me. Do you think that I will fail? No! I will get your Quirk and then dominate this world! I will become the Demon King in this world!"

Now, the question is, how did All-For-One appear?

The answer was simple, and it was because of the Quirk.

A Quirk was like an organ. It kept all the memories of the owner, but in All-For-One's case, his thought was also transferred into Shigaraki's mind.

In Shigaraki's body, two consciousness existed. One was the thought of Shigaraki himself, and the second was the thought of All-For-One.

If Shigaraki's hate and obsession weren't strong enough, his body would be hijacked by All-For-One.

Still, as of now, All-For-One is confident that he can take down One-For-All since he has the help of Hokusai.

While Hokusai's previous move made him speechless and also made Shigaraki almost die, who could blame him? After all, Mineta was too strong. While he didn't want to admit it, he knew that he wasn't Hokusai's opponent, but fortunately, he had help, and this help was so powerful since the power of a hydrogen bomb wasn't something that a mere mortal could do anything.

One explosion was enough to raze the entire city, killing hundreds of thousands or even millions of people as easily as a human killing an ant. One pressed on a human's finger, and the ant could only be crushed helplessly.

This was the power of Hokusai.

It was so strong that All-For-One had the urge to steal it, yet he knew that Hokusai's Quirk wasn't easy. More importantly, Hokusai was a good follower, so he would treat him well.

All-For-One was confident in this generation that he would become the demon king that would rule over this world.

"Your evil won't be able to succeed! Victory has always been on the side of justice! We will win!"

Facing the provocation of the All-For-One, all generations of One-For-All didn't show fear. Instead, all of them thought that they wouldn't lose, especially when they had Mineta on their side.

Unlike in the past, they saw how powerful Mineta was, especially when he fought against Hokusai.

Before, they were alone. Then, they didn't have a comrade, but now, it was different. They had a dependable comrade to whom they could entrust their back.

To be honest, as of now, it was just the confrontation between the All-For-One and all the generations of One-For-All.

As for Shigaraki and Midoriya? Their mouths were wrapped in black smoke, and they were unable to talk. They could only listen to their bicker as Shigaraki complained and tried to fight All-For-One's control since he didn't want to be controlled by All-For-One.

Yet, when they were in the confrontation, the others were also the same.

The heroes and the villains used their everything to defeat each other.

Especially those High-End Nomus; they tried to stop anyone who wanted to interrupt the process of Shigaraki trying to steal Midoriya's Quirk.

While many wondered what the meaning of All-For-One and One-For-All, which Shigaki and Midoriya mentioned, was, they didn't have time to think about that matter currently.

As the hero group started losing their advantage, their situation worsened when Dabi announced his identity to the entire country. All the people in this country were dumbfounded, and many heroes lost their calm when they learned the current number one hero, Endeavour, would be the father of the villain.

Dabi, the young man with a burnt face, told everything about the world.

His identity, experience, and everything else were announced.

The government tried its best to stop it, but it couldn't.

After all, there was a master hacker on the side of the Paranormal Liberation Front. No matter what, they wouldn't let this matter end since it was a good way to cause the situation in the government to deteriorate.

By now, the battle had become even more chaotic.

Endeavour lost his will to fight since he couldn't believe the reality before him.

"DAD!" Todoroki roared, trying to wake Endeavour up.

Bakugou fell with a lot of blood on his stomach.

Midoriya was still in the confrontation with Shigaraki.

Even though Best Jeanist had supported the battle in the middle, he couldn't help much since the number of villains was too much, and they were all so powerful, especially those Nomus.

The number one hero of this country lost his will to fight.

By now, it wouldn't be weird for the hero group to lose.

Midoriya was screaming, trying to escape, but Shigaraki wouldn't let him go. No, All-For-One wouldn't let him go.

Yet, during that critical moment, a hammer suddenly appeared and smashed into the body of Shigaraki's body.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Shigaraki was in crisis, and almost all of his bones were broken.

During this critical moment, when everyone was in despair, their hero, hope, and salvation appeared.

Mineta joined this battle.
