Quirkless Hero-Chapter 214: The Beginning of the End

"Let's begin."

"Understood!"

At the League of Villains' base, Midoriya Izuku issued his final command. Every plan was already in place. Now, all that was left was to set everything into motion.

"Let's bring this hero society to its final end!"

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

The exposure and execution of corrupt pro heroes by the League of Villains sent shockwaves through Japan. Countless citizens were now questioning everything they had believed. Just how many more heroes were hiding such dark secrets?

Modern Japanese society was built on the chaos of the past. The rise of heroes had created a new order, but over time, that very order had turned into a prison. When being a hero became just another job, it lost its greatness. It lost its true meaning. ƒreewebɳovel.com

The government had long relied on heroes to keep people calm and dependent. Just like how most people admired and looked up to All Might as the "Symbol of Peace," this system gave them a sense of security. But everything has two sides.

If All Might were to fall, if the No.1 hero was defeated by a villain in his weakened state, it wouldn't just be a loss—it would completely destroy people's belief in heroes.

Because right now, no one—not even the No.2 hero, Endeavor—could replace the trust and faith people had in the "Symbol of Peace."

Originally, the government had planned to gradually push All Might into retirement while promoting Endeavor as his replacement. By staging intense battles between Endeavor and villains, they hoped to craft a new No.1 hero that the public could believe in.

But with the rise of the new League of Villains, that plan had fallen apart. Midoriya Izuku's existence had made it impossible for the government to continue their illusion. For the first time, they were facing a villain who truly intended to tear down the entire hero society.

"What do we do now?"

At the Nighteye Agency, a large group of top pro heroes had gathered. They had come at All Might's request, all with one goal in mind: taking down the League of Villains. But right now, all they could do was complain.

"We've been searching for so long, and not only have we failed to locate the League's base, but now even the Hero Commission has been attacked. The chairman has been kidnapped. This is a complete slap in the face for us."

"This isn't just some minor setback anymore. The internet and news are flooded with reports about pro heroes working with villains. Even the government can't cover this up anymore."

"Looks like some criminal organizations are using this to their advantage. But honestly... it makes sense. If the hero industry takes a hit, they're the ones who benefit the most."

The heroes discussed the situation, while Sir Nighteye sat in silence, deep in thought. In the end, wasn't all of this happening because of selfish, corrupt fools? It was enough to make him question whether they were even on the right path anymore.

"Nighteye... Have I been wrong all this time?"

Before Nighteye could fall into self-doubt, All Might had already begun questioning himself. Had he spent his whole life fighting to protect a system that was rotten to the core?

"No, All Might, you haven't done anything wrong!"

"You're the hero we look up to. Everything you did was for the sake of helping others. At the very least, the people you saved—they were truly grateful, weren't they?"

"Yeah... I suppose so."

Nighteye's words of comfort made All Might feel a little better. He didn't become the "Symbol of Peace" for any special reason—he just had a natural instinct to step up whenever he saw someone in danger.

"But now, Midoriya Izuku's true goal has been exposed. He's planning to take down every single pro hero!"

Nighteye sighed helplessly, but there was nothing they could do about it... Based on the current situation, quite a few pro heroes had already been caught by the League of Villains for their dirty dealings.

Just as Nighteye predicted, that very afternoon, a shocking message spread across major websites in Japan—sponsored by the entire underground criminal network.

"The President of the Hero Commission is now in our hands. Just how many dirty secrets about pro heroes does he know? Will we expose everything online?"

"Well then, let's play a little game with all of you!"

"This weekend, in Tokyo."

"The League of Villains will be waiting for all pro heroes to challenge us. If you manage to defeat us, then it's a victory for the heroes. But if you lose..."

"Too bad—your filthy secrets will be made public!"

The moment this message was released, the entire country was shaken. No matter how you looked at it, this was a direct declaration of war against all pro heroes. A villain organization challenging every pro hero? Even All Might didn't have that kind of power!

Some people were shocked, some were speechless, and others just watched for entertainment. But as if to prove they weren't bluffing, the League of Villains immediately released evidence of three pro heroes' crimes—and those heroes had already been executed by Stain, the Hero Killer.

After this, the pro hero community was in complete chaos. The League of Villains had truly positioned themselves against both the heroes and the Japanese government. They had stepped on far too many toes.

The President of the Hero Commission—a high-ranking official—was deeply involved in corruption with pro heroes. He had knowledge of countless illegal transactions, as well as the shady dealings between the government and the hero community.

All Might had no clue about any of this. Even Nighteye had only heard rumors. It was a classic case of birds of a feather flocking together.

Many people became pro heroes for their own benefit, and they were always extremely careful about their actions. Plus, with the government covering up their tracks, heroes like All Might had no idea about the dark side of the system.

Heroes represented order, villains represented chaos—this so-called "peaceful" hero society was built on hypocrisy.

In short, the President of the Hero Commission held the leverage over many pro heroes. If they didn't want their dirty secrets exposed by the League of Villains, they had only one option—show up in Tokyo this weekend and fight.

Most pro heroes, however, thought the League of Villains was being suicidal. Not only was All Might definitely going to show up, but there were also simply too many pro heroes. Just by sheer numbers alone, they could crush the villains.

As for who would die in the end... that remained to be seen.
