Darkness looms over everyone!
A heavily built man wearing a retro hero costume lies there, a massive hole torn through his abdomen, blood pouring out as organs spill across the ground!
All Might, the No.1 Hero, hailed as the Symbol of Peace, kneels on one knee with great difficulty. His vital signs are dropping dangerously low, his eyes wide, teeth clenched tightly for the sake of his belief.
"All Might!"
Ren whispered, his determined expression filled with unyielding resolve.
This is probably the first time he has truly understood what a hero is.
Rumble...
Unimaginable destruction unfolds all around. Compared to this devastation, earthquakes and tsunamis seem insignificant.
Collapsed buildings surround them, and countless civilians flee in every direction.
Amid screams and overwhelming fear, it feels like the end of the world.
Shifting his gaze, Ren follows All Might's line of sight and looks toward the demon-like figure on the battlefield...
Compared to All Might, that man barely looks human. Even lying on the ground, he continuously releases black energy blasts without pause.
A destructive Quirk!
Ren knows exactly who this is—and what he intends to do!
"All For One!"
A true demon of destruction, he has stolen countless Quirks to make himself stronger.
Destruction itself has become his defining nature.
At this very moment, he proves it through his actions.
All For One!
He intends to destroy this world he so despises.
"Hahaha... you're so weak, so fragile—and you dare call yourself the Symbol of Peace? Now watch as I destroy the world you protect with my own hands!" The battered villain sneers harshly.
His body is mangled, bones exposed.
His legs are gone, his arms dripping with blood.
The ground around him is shattered into countless fragments, like broken glass, all centered around All For One.
With a wave of his hand, two more black blasts shoot out!
"Cough..."
All Might remains on one knee, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. His powerful arms are torn open, even exposing bone.
His right hand presses tightly against his wound, while his left hand slowly clenches into a fist—but he is utterly exhausted.
Faint visions begin to appear before his eyes—like silhouettes of past wielders, hovering as if calling out to him.
Their glowing blue eyes flicker like ghostly flames, as if urging him onward.
All Might grits his teeth, his body trembling, but he refuses to fall.
Hero...
A symbol of peace...
The hellish scene before them makes it clear how brutal the battle has been.
This may be the first time All Might has unleashed his full power in so long—even pushing himself to his absolute limit.
"One For All... and All For One!"
"A clash between justice and evil!"
"Perhaps... this is what makes this world so compelling..."
Ren clenches his fists. Everything is happening so suddenly, as if he had only just arrived in this world.
Everything... for this moment of trial.
This is their first true battle after countless clashes.
It represents the struggle between inheritance and theft—the very meaning of this war. No matter the outcome, the future will lean toward one side.
There are countless lives tied to this world.
So, All Might cannot fall!
"Well? How does it feel to watch me destroy the world you love? Powerless... unable to do anything—how does it feel?!"
All For One bursts into laughter.
In this society where heroes have risen, peace and hope exist because of All Might.
If the Symbol of Peace is destroyed here, darkness will take root once more—and perhaps never be stopped again.
His laughter turns into coughing as blood spills from his mouth. Slowly, All For One stops, wiping the blood away.
"The final blow... let me show you true destruction!"
"Was it worth it? Fighting me like this while your body is falling apart..."
The sneer fades from his face. He can feel his own life nearing its limit, yet he raises both hands without hesitation. Dark energy gathers between them.
Countless destructive beams converge, forming a dense sphere of power in an instant.
"Cough..."
As All Might tries to move, more blood spills from his mouth. His body may already be beyond saving.
But—
"..."
He forces himself forward a single step.
The next moment, his strength gives out completely.
Just as All For One said, he can only watch.
All Might begins to collapse as the sphere of destruction reaches its peak.
The end is coming.
The final strike—
"In that case... this should be enough."
Glancing at the slowly progressing system interface before him, then at the destructive sphere ahead, Ren licks the corner of his lips.
Yeah... this is dangerous.
But he'll do it anyway.
...
"Don't forget—you still owe me sandwiches and chocolate, All Might!"
That familiar voice echoes in his ears.
All Might freezes for a moment—then sees Ren leaping straight toward the gathering destruction.
"Ren!!!"
With All Might's desperate shout, the black, destructive force erupts the instant Ren enters it.
The dark explosion expands instantly, swallowing everything in its path. The overwhelming pressure makes everyone tremble—
But then...
It vanishes in less than a second.
Like a dream—yet undeniably real.
The darkness fades, revealing—
Ren, completely unharmed, is falling from the sky.
The severely injured Pro Hero Gran Torino quickly rushes forward and catches the unconscious Ren.
All For One, who believed everything would be destroyed, stares in shock—
Before being buried beneath the collapsing remains of a towering building.
