The Main Battlefield

"This is your first time committing a crime and you're already like this... You'd better be prepared!"

All Might exerted more force and found that the strength in Nomu's hand not only did not decrease, but continued to increase. He struggled and turned his face toward Shigaraki and Shigaraki others, warning them and trying to influence their mentality so that they would reveal a weakness and he could find an opportunity.

However, such techniques were obviously ineffective against Shigaraki and Kurogiri, and as for the 'Nomu', it lacked sufficient self-awareness, so there was no need to mention it.

"Kurogiri, hurry up!"

No, perhaps it's not entirely useless.

After hearing All Might's warning, Shigaraki seemed somewhat anxious, whether from unease or simply from disgust and annoyance, it was unclear.

He urged the Kurogiri on.

The Kurogiri was using its Quirk at full power to close the portal that was trapping All Might as soon as possible.

However, due to All Might's struggle and resistance, even though he was using all his strength, he was still unable to close the portal quickly.

"Tomura Shigaraki, I'm trying my best, but his struggles are stronger than expected... the door is a bit unstable..."

That's what the Kurogiri said...

That's what they say...

But in reality, the portal was still shrinking little by little, albeit slowly, but with an unwavering momentum...

It can be predicted that in about ten minutes, this portal will shrink to a size large enough to strangle All Might.

Shigaraki was very irritable, and he was extremely self-centered at the moment, but when faced with a situation where he only needed to wait a little while to get the desired result, he clearly still possessed that small amount of patience.

"Since that's the case, fine, I'll stay a little longer. As for you, All Might... keep howling like a defeated dog. As the final boss, you still have the right to leave a final message before you exit the stage..."

"A final message...?"

Upon hearing this, All Might tensed up and looked around.

The U.A. High School students were about to leave USJ under the cover of "Thirteen". It was still early, and with the presence of Uraraka Shige, the group of small fry "enemies" in the original story had already been dealt with by this time. Midoriya and the others who came here were still fighting the "enemies" or trying to extract information from them.

Those other 'heroic' teachers who were busy with other things may have already finished their tasks and are on their way, but obviously they won't have enough time.

"I see..."

All Might's body relaxed slightly, and his eyes, which had been full of firm conviction, were quietly covered by some other complex emotions.

Perhaps, as Tomura Shigaraki said, all he can do now is utter his final words?

Throughout his life, he aspired from a young age to enable everyone in the world to live happily, and for this purpose, he resolved to become Symbol of Justice.

Now, he has already achieved this. He ended the dark era of 'AFO', he became the 'No.1 Hero', and he became the 'Symbol of Justice' in everyone's hearts.

Most of his 'enemies' would have their minds broken the moment they saw him; society is seeing more and more 'heroes' and fewer and fewer 'enemies'...

The 'Quirk' he inherited has also been passed down to the boy Midoriya, who is very similar to him. He firmly believes that given time, Midoriya will definitely become the second him, or even surpass him...

Is that... good enough?

... He has largely accomplished everything he wanted to do...

Even now, amidst the crisis, he has already saved those students who represent the future... So, given this, letting him die as a 'hero' in his final role as the 'No. 1 Hero'... is probably the best outcome...

Perhaps after his death, people will still say that he spent his entire life as a 'hero' who saved others, and in the end, he died as the 'Number One Hero'... Maybe he will be recorded in history, maybe one day in the future, he will become a great figure in various textbooks...

"Perhaps... this result... can really be considered quite good?"

All Might's resistance began to falter, and the portal's shrinking speed increased dramatically in an instant.

So...

Like this...

This is the result...

"This isn't the result I wanted!!!"

All Might suddenly exerted all his strength again and forcibly pulled his hands out of the portal.

"I am the No. 1 Hero! The Symbol of Justice! If I die here, if I die like this..."

That would surely throw this 'heroic' society into chaos!

"And Master, she..."

If Nana Shimura inherited his 'Quirk,' knew what he would become, if she knew he would fail here, and die here...

"Master certainly won't be satisfied either!"

All Might's eyes instantly ignited with a raging flame, fueled by an indomitable spirit, unwavering resolve, courage, and fighting will... It was his 'Number One Hero,' his heart's desire, and the will of his ' Symbol of Justice 'All Might!

"And..."

Midoriya is still far from mature; he needs me, his senior, to continue protecting and guiding him!

"With so many reasons and so many unfinished tasks, how can I possibly give up here?! Smash!!!"

All Might roared and slammed his elbows into the ground with a Smash.

Call!

Then, with this attack, a much more violent and intense airflow—no, a storm!—instantly swept up from the point where he swung his elbows.

Boom!

Centered on the target point where he struck with both elbows, a huge crack tens of meters in diameter instantly appeared on the ground. Then, the ground in the center began to sink, while the ground in the distance began to rise. Even at the edge of the crack, a large amount of gravel and sand were ejected from the ground into the air.

The entire sprawling 'USJ' was shattered, with all the glass fixtures inside broken. The earth could even be felt shaking in the distant school buildings.

Shigaraki and Kurogiri, despite deliberately keeping a distance from All Might and the Nomu's battleground, were still severely affected immediately.

The sudden and drastic change in the ground made it difficult for Shigaraki to maintain his balance, and several of his arms fell to the ground and were swallowed up by the cracks that appeared in the ground.

The Kurogiri also lost its footing instantly, as the strong gusts of wind pushed it away from All Might and the Nomu.

The Nomu, which was closest to All Might, was the one most affected.

Although the Nomu possesses Quirk specifically designed to counter All Might, such as Shock Absorption and Super Regeneration, the flying debris, the raging storms, and the terrain altered by its immense power can still affect it.

In particular, the sudden sinking of the ground beneath its feet caused 'Nomu' to briefly lose its footing.

This caused the 'Nomu' to suddenly become weak and unable to withstand force when it exerted its strength, and the control it had maintained over All Might with its hands naturally weakened as a result.

All Might, who was prepared, seized the opportunity precisely, instantly breaking free from the Nomu's control. Before the portal closed, he escaped at an invisible speed, launching himself into the air and landing far away at the edge of the giant crater he had created.
