The Mistake Black Shirou Made / Shirou's Mysterious Organization...
Isaka couldn't help but think the worst; perhaps the world had developed the way it did because of him?
"According to the history of your world, even though I helped those heroes in this way, did they still lose? Or was it because of what I did that those heroes didn't get enough training, which led to their defeat?" Isaka asked worriedly.
"Who knows, anyway, they lost. The active heroes aren't good enough, and they wanted to rely on those dim-witted students. It would be strange if they didn't lose. That's why Shirou and I started cleaning up their messes," Yuli said, arms crossed, sounding annoyed.
"Is there really no way to let the heroes defeat those enemies?" Isaka asked.
"Even if we win, it won't matter. The germs will still spread, and even superpowered individuals have no resistance to them. Humanity will still perish." Shirou shook his head.
"So how can we avoid disagreements? How can we prevent tragedies from happening in the future?" Isaka asked the question that concerned him most.
Chapter 1182 The Mistake Made by Black Shirou
Shirou held up his finger and explained:
"In other words, it means changing the course of the world while minimizing the impact on the world and without creating points of disagreement."
Even the slightest change can slowly propel what follows, leading to more changes, and through this chain reaction, altering the future. We must calculate backwards again and again, ultimately pushing over the most suitable first domino.
"This is too difficult! Even supercomputers with advanced artificial intelligence would struggle to perform calculations of this scale!" Isaka said.
Although humans have indeed lost out to supercomputers in terms of computational and analytical capabilities, while supercomputers have been invented, our understanding of the internal structure and operating principles of the human brain remains far from complete.
"Yes, that's why I've been very careful. Everything is done by Shirou! Shirou has a constitution that makes it difficult for him to affect the world. (Monthly membership group 694936135)" the girl said proudly.
Is this something to be proud of? No, to some extent, given Yuli's nature, the fact that she didn't act recklessly is indeed a huge contribution.
"Then what should I do? I don't have that kind of constitution," Isaka asked, pointing to himself.
"Well, if we're talking about breaking the balance, I was actually the one who started it," Shirou said with a sigh.
"Shirou is right, that madman deserves to die. He deserves to die no matter how many times he dies!" Yuli said angrily.
Isaka paused, then, puzzled by the girl's words, asked:
"Who is that person? Is he some kind of major villain?"
"Ah, that was the first heir to the Enemy Alliance's leadership, known as absolute evil. He killed his entire family when he was a child, a psychopath with no humanity, a terrorist with water in his brain. He did evil for evil's sake, and he went against justice for evil's sake, so Shirou killed him." Yuri said Yuli her arms crossed, speaking with righteous indignation.
"Then... now that they've taken down such a terrible villain, shouldn't the heroes win?"
"No, everyone says those useless guys lost, lost terribly, and the Enemy Alliance collapsed too. In the end, there are no winners in the whole world."
"Aren't you on the heroes' side?" Isaka asked in surprise. Why did it seem like he looked down on both sides?
"No, we are the 'third party.' Whether we are heroes or villains is irrelevant; we are simply eliminating the pests that are harming the world."
Shirou and Yuli stood shoulder to shoulder, as if black light were swirling around them, Isaka seemed to see black cloaks fluttering behind them.
They are third parties, opposing the villains who are enemies of terrorists, as well as overly individualistic heroes, and the unorthodox hero schools run by lay heroes rather than educators.
However, because of this, the future world can no longer proceed according to its original laws, because Shirou killed Shigaraki Tomura.
As the world's main villain, the chosen Demon King, would he be killed so easily?
In fact, it would have been very easy for Shirou to kill him.
Find the right time and place, pause time, and before the opponent can unleash their Honkai ability, cut them into 278 pieces, making them utterly dead.
Then they poured gasoline on him and burned him to ashes. No matter how advanced the technology, he couldn't be brought back to life.
Everything went very smoothly because Shirou was a part of this world, and he was a similar being to the world's consciousness, so there was no so-called Counter Force.
Just as time waits for no one, the earth won't stop turning just because someone is there or gone.
However, at certain crucial junctures, when something could have a significant global impact, the power of some individuals can be amplified to an extreme degree.
"That was my mistake. Even if I had to kill him, I should have made sure his superpowers were preserved," Shirou said in a deep voice.
What are that person's abilities?
"The ability is collapse. After analyzing multiple battles, it has been confirmed that it gradually collapses objects by touching them with the fingers. The scope of destruction can cover the entire city, shattering the ground and corroding steel bars into iron filings."
"City?" Isaka repeated blankly.
Is it possible to test the extent of destruction of a city? It's not like it has telepathy; all it takes is for the hero to use a vehicle.
"Yes, in fact, he did destroy a city, and the number of humans he killed was no less than a massacre." Shirou nodded, confirming his thoughts.
"Objects touched by him will gradually shatter from the outside in, starting from the point of contact. The collapse is already spreading, and basically anyone touched by him will die on the spot and turn into ashes instantly."
Furthermore, as he develops his abilities, he can destroy things without even touching them, using only air as a medium.
"Isn't that an extremely dangerous person?" Isaka exclaimed in surprise. To him, he wanted to stay as far away from such a terrorist as possible. What good would it do to lock him up in prison? He knew the death penalty was the only option. Japan's existence of the death penalty was truly an Akechi choice.
"But... killing him was a mistake," Shirou said.
"How could this be..." Isaka wanted to Shirou, but then he thought again that something didn't quite make sense.
You killed so decisively and cleanly, are you now worried that killing is wrong?
Isaka recalled his conversation with Shirou five years ago, when the young man had the same expression on his face—regretful and sorrowful.
After a long pause, Shirou finally spoke his true meaning in a deep voice:
"Nature has endowed all things with life, and each has its own meaning. Ants on the ground, gods in the sky, saints who lead a race, and hysterical villains who attempt to destroy the world are all equal in a certain sense."
"Shigaraki Tomura... we could have used his abilities to eliminate those drug-resistant bacteria."
But it was too late; he was killed by Shirou. Even All-For-One, who had fought All Might to a standstill, was no match for Shirou and could only hide away like a turtle.
Then the world took this turn: the enemies who could not defeat the heroes openly began to resort to more intrigue and trickery. On the other hand, the heroes' side was extremely lacking in truly wise strategists, and most of the heroes had their own ideas, making them like a disorganized mess.
At that time, Shirou also split into two due to the awakening of the white god, and was hunted down by the god's consciousness clones, so he couldn't get away at all.
Thus, they were systematically defeated one by one. When the heroes no longer had someone who could turn the tide with sheer strength, they were naturally defeated.
The villains of the Enemy Alliance of Villains also suffered heavy losses. In the end, they used biological weapons... to spread a deadly superbug, thus dragging the whole world into hell.
Therefore, Shirou also felt that he had a responsibility to go back to the past and rewrite the future of this world.
Chapter 1183 Shirou's Mysterious Organization
On a certain day and at a certain time, at a certain bar counter.
"Do you know about that third party that's been all over the news lately?" the woman asked.
"What is that? A third party? Someone cheated on you? Or is it a movie? A song?"
"There's this mysterious organization, and inside it lives a serial killer with precognitive abilities."
"Where? A secret society?" The man looked around playfully.
"Somewhere... someone in somewhere is going to kill someone. And then, that organization can predict in advance that someone will kill someone," the woman said irritably.
"So complicated." The man turned his gaze back to the contents of his glass.
The woman raised her hand and tossed her long hair, revealing her neck and ears. Her earlobes were bare; they used to be adorned with matching crystal earrings from her lover, but now that she had officially declared herself single, she was hoping to find a boyfriend she could get along with.
Women hope that men can notice these things sooner.
However, at this moment, the man was completely focused on the drink in his glass.
The woman had no choice but to continue the conversation.
"So, before a murder occurs, this organization will kill the murderer first."
"Killing for the sake of preventing murder feels a bit strange."
"But because that organization only kills bad people, we cannot deny that its actions are righteous. However, from an outsider's perspective, this mysterious organization is nothing more than a serial killer."
"Because this organization commits murders before the murders even take place."
"How terrifying."
"It's not scary. If you're not a bad person, you won't be targeted," the woman explained.
"That's not what I meant. In that case, the organization would have already put the other party to trial before they actually committed the murder," the man said.
"Yes, because it's about stopping things before they happen."
"So, in reality, nobody knows whether a murder will happen, right? Because it's about stopping it before it happens, it's possible to kill someone who is innocent. No, even if that's not the case, just starting to worry about 'did I kill an innocent person' is terrifying. I would be scared, I couldn't do it."
"That's because this organization has precognitive abilities," the woman retorted.
"It's terrifying when you start worrying about how far you can go to believe in precognitive abilities. It's also possible that it's not precognition at all, but just your own delusion. And, no matter the pretext, murder is absolutely unacceptable. It must never be done."
"No matter how bad the other person is?"
"Yes. If we rush headlong down this terrifying path, it will turn into a horrific massacre."
"It doesn't necessarily have to be torture; there might be the opposite pattern."
"The opposite model? Anti-torture?"
"Torture is the indiscriminate killing of innocent people, right? The opposite is killing one person to protect the majority," the woman said earnestly.
"What's going on?" the man asked in surprise.
"If someone told you that the world would be saved if you died, what would you do? Would you have the courage to die?" the woman asked.
Her expression was very serious as she looked at the man's face, as if she were waiting for a vow. In return, she would respond with the same vow.
The man crossed his arms, hummed in agreement, thought for a long time, and then answered decisively:
"It's impossible!"
The woman sighed inwardly.
Shirou with black hair is now an independent individual, but he retains a great deal of knowledge about the world. In the future, he establishes a third-party force to maintain world order.
They are a group of night stalkers from a mysterious organization, who do not reveal their information to the public like professional heroes, but hide their identities and infiltrate the masses.
If the heroes represent the Japanese government, then they represent the people. They do not participate in any public activities, nor do they report to the government.
Although they were seen as rebels walking the line of the law by various governments, Shirou and his group were actually more trustworthy in the eyes of the people.
When facing the evil deeds of the enemy, they are more reliable than heroes.
They will not back down when faced with government mistakes.
Moreover, the most crucial point is that Shirou's organization is very united. Unlike the heroes who set up agencies, formed teams, and fought independently, Shirou's side can gather the power of more than twenty superpowered individuals to form an army.
Even if an individual's strength is insufficient, it can be made up for by the collective's ability, often resulting in a strength that surpasses that of others.
In comparison, heroes who rush forward headlong are just a disorganized mess, and even if some groups can coordinate, it is not the optimal solution.
Shirou and his group are avengers, and most of their members are victims like Nakamura Yuli. In fact, most of them were not rescued in time when facing those villains.
They harbor deep-seated hatred for their enemies, treating their struggles as a war to the death—a stark contrast to the attitude of professional heroes who simply receive a salary for a job.
Shirou earned the respect and trust of his companions through his formidable strength and his exemplary character and conduct.
Therefore, the third party did not become a vengeful ghost obsessed with revenge and disregarded everything else, and thus gained people's trust.
To this day, Shirou has always followed the precognitive illusions to handle incidents in advance and prevent them from happening in the first place.
Strictly speaking, it was to prevent one incident from triggering another. But not every incident was dealt with. If the incident occurred far away, it was difficult to get there. Although there were expeditions such as taking the Shinkansen to Morioka or flying to Fukuoka, there were still various constraints.
Sometimes, we have to ignore several incidents. So companions are essential, forming a third-party alliance dedicated to protecting ordinary people and fighting evil.
Thanks to the help of his companions, Shirou is now able to free up his time to accomplish the most difficult tasks.
Ultimately, however, Shirou made a mistake. Even though people applauded him at the time, Shigaraki Tomura's death was a loss for humanity.
"Shirou-kun, there's no need for you to be so discouraged."
Isaka sighed, then straightened up and shouted in the impassioned tone of a politician giving a campaign speech, "Because it is mistakes that make history!"
Yuli and Shirou remained silent, unsure of what he was suddenly saying.
"These are words from President Kennedy," Isaka continued, "Said after the failed invasion of the Bay of Pigs. Everyone makes mistakes, no matter how great a person is, they will fail and make mistakes. Shirou-kun, the important thing is to admit that you did something wrong. And admitting mistakes is harder than anything else."
Chapter 1184 Errors Shaped Human History
"Huh? What exactly are you trying to say, uncle?" Yuli asked, frowning.
"Shirou-kun, Yuli -chan, do you know the story of Nobel?" Isaka said to himself.
"Nobel? The one with the Nobel Prize?" Yuli surprise.
"Yes, when Nobel was still alive, a reporter, whether intentionally or by mistake, published news of his death in the newspaper."
"Is that so? But, uncle? Why are you bringing up news about deaths again?" Yuli asked, displeased.
"In reality, it was his brother who died, but the reporter made a mistake and wrote that he had died. Nobel was shocked to see the news of his own death, but what shocked him even more than death itself was that in that news report he was called the 'Merchant of Death.'"
