Crossroads of Destiny:The Heavenly Demon Route

In the wake of this confrontation, both All For One and All Might exchanged barbed criticisms, accusing each other of having grown weaker over the years. Todoroki, his eyes trained on the battle before him, noted with a sense of realization that All For One had thwarted All Might's attack with sheer raw strength, a testament to his terrifying power. In that moment, the true leader of the League of Villains became unmistakably clear to him.With unwavering resolve, All Might vowed to save Todoroki and rectify the mistakes of the past, ensuring that All For One and the League of Villains faced justice this time. He rushed forward, determination fueling his every step. But All For One, a cunning strategist, countered with a colossal blast wave that sent the Symbol of Peace hurtling through the air with devastating force. The attack not only struck All Might but also razed several buildings in its path. All For One, his eyes gleaming with a sinister light, mused to himself about the potential of his Quirk blend, a deadly combination of Air Cannon and Springlike Limbs, one he intended to enhance further with additional power-up-type Quirks.Todoroki, his concern growing, received assurance from All For One that his fiery and icy assault was insufficient to kill him. All For One issued orders to Tomura, directing him to escape alongside Todoroki. Black tendrils extended from his fingers, embedding themselves into the unconscious form of Kurogiri. Magne, bewildered and protesting, questioned All For One's actions, wondering why he didn't use the black liquid for their escape. All For One offered a chilling explanation, assuring her that his warping Quirk wouldn't aid the League of Villains in this dire moment.With grim determination, All For One employed Forced Quirk Activation to activate Kurogiri's Warp Gate. He commanded the League of Villains to make their escape through the portal. Yet, even as they moved to depart, All Might reemerged onto the battlefield, a resolute force that refused to allow his arch-nemesis to evade justice. With unstoppable resolve, he charged at All For One. Before disappearing into the fray, All For One left Tomura with a parting message: the potential for growth remained, even in the darkest of times.Amidst the tumultuous aerial battle, All For One exhibited effortless mastery of his Air Walk, gracefully ascending into the heavens. High above the ground, he clashed with All Might once more, unleashing a shockwave that reverberated through the very earth beneath them.As the titanic battle raged on, Mr. Compress, ever the strategist, applied his Quirk to the unconscious Dabi. He leaned in close to Tomura, his voice a whispering shadow, suggesting that they seize this moment of chaos to effect their escape. The League of Villains, recognizing the gravity of the situation, initiated an impromptu strategy session, their eyes settling on Todoroki as a potential captive. Meanwhile, Todoroki himself steeled his resolve, readying himself for the imminent showdown.In the midst of this chaotic clash of wills, a lone figure observed from a vantage point atop a nearby building, concealed and vigilant. It was Izuku, whose ingenious devices crafted by Momo afforded him the ability to discreetly eavesdrop on every word and action, granting him a secret well of information.Himiko, Twice, and Mr. Compress moved in on Todoroki, but his icy prowess repelled their advances with an elegant display of power. All Might, ever the protector, sought to intervene on Todoroki's behalf. Yet, the sinister tendrils of All For One swept in, diverting All Might's attention and separating him from Todoroki. Izuku, aware of the dire circumstances, understood that rescuing Todoroki appeared increasingly elusive, with the Vanguard Action Squad now outnumbering him.Far below, Bakugo initiated his daring plan. With Tenya at his side and Eijiro serving as their shield, they burst through the wall with explosive power. Uraraka's Quirk rendered them weightless, and with Bakugo's explosive propulsion, they ascended into the sky above the tumultuous battle below.All For One, ever vigilant, aimed to thwart their escape, but as Bakugo had foreseen, All Might intervened, landing a mighty punch that disrupted the sequence of events. With the battlefield now clear and high above the ground, Eijiro called out to his friend, offering his hand. Todoroki, seizing the opportunity, unleashed a torrent of flames and used his feet to propel himself through the air, reaching out to Bakugo, Tenya, and Eijiro. With a determined grip, Todoroki grabbed Eijiro's hand, a victorious smile gracing his face.Their daring escape complete, the group moved swiftly to put distance between themselves and the battleground. Tomura, the remaining Vanguard Action Squad members, and All Might stood dumbfounded, surprised by the unexpected intervention of Bakugo, Eijiro, Tenya, and Todoroki.Refusing to allow Todoroki to slip through their grasp, Magne, Spinner, and Mr. Compress hatched a plan to recapture him. Magne magnetized Mr. Compress, and Spinner launched him toward Izuku's group. But in a dramatic twist, Mt. Lady intervened with her Titan Cliff Quirk, intercepting Mr. Compress and causing a collision that prevented him from reaching the students. The unexpected heroics of Mt. Lady left Bakugo and Todoroki in awe as she urged them to escape before succumbing to unconsciousness.Magne and Spinner, determined to recapture their prize, prepared to launch Twice into the sky. However, Gran Torino arrived on the scene, his swift and decisive actions incapacitating them all. All the while, All Might stood surprised but ultimately pleased by the intervention of Bakugo and his fellow students. With their arrival, he could now engage All For One without restraint.Bakugo, Eijiro, Tenya, and Todoroki wasted no time in making their escape from the tumultuous battlefield, their retreat marked by a renewed sense of determination. As they fled, Gran Torino prepared to confront Tomura and Himiko.With the scales now tipping in favor of the heroes, All For One realized that victory had slipped from his grasp. Todoroki's rescue and the incapacitation of most of the Vanguard Action Squad left him with no recourse. Determined to safeguard Tomura and his allies, he employed Kenji's Magnetism Quirk to magnetize all the male villains. In an instant, Tomura and the Vanguard Action Squad were forcefully pulled into Himiko, creating a chaotic whirlwind that propelled them all toward the waiting warp gate. But before they could go through the portal, a shadow appeared and took all the villains away, jumping and crushing the ground, leaving a shockwave behind.PS: If you're wondering, Izuku took them and made them sleep using a sleeping gas bomb created from Momo. He has placed each member in a cell with protective measures taken.In the midst of the chaotic battle, All For One's malevolent gaze fell upon a shadowy figure with distinctive white hair. Yet, his attention couldn't linger, for All Might, the Symbol of Peace, charged at him with an unwavering determination. As their clash seemed imminent, All For One swiftly activated his Warping Quirk, and in a cruel twist of fate, Gran Torino materialized in front of him, unwittingly becoming a human shield.The elderly hero, Gran Torino, bore the brunt of All Might's devastating attack, a selfless act that left All Might in remorse. But All For One, the mastermind of darkness, was not one to pass up an opportunity. He harnessed the force of All Might's punch with his Impact Recoil Quirk and unleashed it back towards the hero.Tomura's master, shrouded in sinister intent, claimed to have intervened only to save his protege, though it appeared to be an endeavor doomed to failure. Nevertheless, he declared his intent to remain and face his arch-nemesis, All Might, head-on. In the depths of his hatred, All For One recounted how All Might had dismantled his comrades of old, while he himself had descended into the abyss. The hero had risen as the paragon of peace, a stark contrast to his own dark path.All For One readied himself, preparing to unleash a devastating blast wave meant to engulf both Gran Torino and All Might. But All Might, unwavering in his resolve, acted swiftly. He pulled Gran Torino to safety and unleashed his Detroit Smash, countering All For One's destructive onslaught, albeit at the cost of sustaining injuries.Aware that All Might was still holding back, concerned for the citizens caught in the crossfire, the hero ceased the villain's taunts. He declared his unforgiving stance towards All For One, condemning his ruthless manipulation of people as mere pawns to further his own dark ambitions. With a surge of determination, All Might rushed All For One, seizing his left arm while flinging Gran Torino to safety.All For One, caught off guard, found himself unable to employ his Warping Quirk in time. In a swift and powerful motion, All Might drove the villain's head into the ground, shattering his menacing mask. Yet, the battle was far from over, as All Might's time in his formidable form was ebbing away. To his astonishment, All For One remained conscious, revealing a chilling connection between them.The villain scoffed at All Might's righteous anger, recalling that he had heard similar sentiments before - from none other than the previous One For All successor, Nana Shimura. In the heat of the battlefield, with his face partially reverting to its true form, All Might's fury surged. All For One's taunts about Nana Shimura's supposed weakness and disgraceful end ignited an inferno within the hero's heart.With fierce determination, All Might readied himself to strike at All For One. Yet, the villain, ever cunning, employed his Air Cannon, unleashing a devastating blast that sent the Symbol of Peace hurtling into the sky.As All Might soared perilously close to crashing into a media helicopter, it was the timely intervention of Gran Torino that prevented disaster. The elderly hero swooped in, rescuing All Might and gently landing him on the safety of the ground. Gran Torino imparted sage advice to his protege, cautioning him not to succumb to All For One's provocations and reminding him of the need to strike only when the villain's guard faltered.High above in the expansive sky, the rhythmic hum of news helicopters filled the air. These airborne sentinels of information captured every moment of the titanic struggle below. Across the nation, from bustling cities to quiet towns, people from all walks of life were riveted to their screens. Among them were the stalwart members of U.A. staff, including Aizawa, Nezu, and Sekijiro, each bearing a solemn expression as they watched the unfolding clash of titans. Alongside them stood U.A. students, the next generation of heroes and heroines. Ochaco, Fumikage, Minoru, Yuga, and countless others were united in their shared concern for All Might's perilous battle. Their faces mirrored the gravity of the situation, their hearts heavy with anxiety.As the broadcast transmitted the dire scene, a collective sense of dismay swept through the viewers. All Might, the Symbol of Peace, was in the throes of an intense struggle. Yet, the question lingered in the minds of many: What could the heroes do in the face of such a cataclysmic clash?In the midst of this aerial spectacle, All For One's malevolent voice pierced the airwaves. He spoke of a twisted inner conflict, torn between delivering the final blow to the hero society his protege had strived to dismantle, all in the hope of reclaiming Tomura. His words carried an eerie resonance, a chilling reminder of the depths to which this villain would stoop.All For One's declaration grew darker still as he revealed the seething hatred he harbored for All Might. In his eyes, the hero had become the embodiment of destruction, laying waste to everything the villain had meticulously constructed over the span of his dark reign. The desire for All Might's demise gnawed at him, a hunger for a death steeped in torment and suffering.In this moment, the sky bore witness to a battle not only of raw power and Quirks but also of ideology and vengeance. The nation held its collective breath, unsure of the outcome, yet acutely aware that the destiny of hero society hung in the balance.Amid the raging battle in the skies, All For One prepared to unleash another devastating air cannon, a malevolent force that threatened to consume everything in its path. Gran Torino, with the instincts of a seasoned hero, foresaw the impending assault and urgently advised All Might to evade and retaliate. The elderly hero swiftly maneuvered out of harm's way, leaving All For One's ominous words hanging in the air.Yet, those words carried a weight that went beyond mere threats. They bore the specter of innocent lives, a stark reminder that the cost of heroism was often paid in the currency of sacrifice. All Might's sharp senses detected the plight of an innocent civilian, trapped beneath a heap of rubble, vulnerable to All For One's merciless onslaught. In a heartbeat, he made a choice that defined heroism - he threw himself in the path of the monstrous air cannon, shielding the civilian from the impending cataclysm.The blast wave surged forward, a tempest of destructive force. All Might bore the brunt of it, his weakened form absorbing the cataclysmic impact. In this selfless act, he safeguarded the innocent, but it came at the price of his remaining strength. As the dust settled, the Symbol of Peace was left utterly depleted, his once-mighty form now completely reduced to its frail state.All For One reveled in the sight of the fallen hero, his twisted delight evident. Across the nation, viewers were gripped by shock and despair as they witnessed the transformation of their indomitable symbol into a mere shadow of his former self. Even Mirio, a paragon of optimism, felt the weight of the moment as All Might's secret vulnerability was laid bare.The villain's taunts echoed in the air, his mockery cutting deep. Yet, All Might's spirit remained unbroken. The hero cared not for the rotting husk that was now exposed to the world; his resolve remained unwavering. The mantle of the Symbol of Peace was not something All For One could steal, for it transcended physical form.In a final attempt to shatter All Might's spirit, All For One unveiled a chilling truth - Tomura Shigaraki was the grandson of Nana Shimura, All Might's mentor. The revelation struck like a thunderbolt, causing All Might to reel in disbelief. But All For One, with a venomous grin, insisted it was the undeniable truth. The memory of Nana Shimura, the mentor who had taught him about the strength of a smile, flooded All Might's mind, but it was now tainted by the darkness of her grandson's actions.All Might's once-indomitable spirit wavered under the weight of All For One's sarcasm, his resolve teetering on the brink. The villain reveled in the hero's despair as the nation watched, helpless witnesses to the hero's inner turmoil.Yet, in the midst of this despair, a voice of hope emerged. The innocent civilian All Might had saved earlier, emboldened by his heroism, encouraged him to rise above. The collective will of the nation, their unwavering faith in All Might's victory, began to manifest as cheers and rallying cries.From all corners of the country, those who watched refused to accept defeat for their symbol of hope, regardless of his true form. They rallied behind him, exhorting him to persevere. Even Izuku and Katsuki, whose destinies were forever intertwined with All Might's, added their voices to the chorus of encouragement.The resounding support of the innocent and the unwavering faith of the nation breathed new life into All Might's battered spirit. With renewed determination, he focused the remnants of One For All into his right arm, causing it to transform into its Hero form. A smile graced his lips as he faced All For One, declaring that heroes had countless things to protect, and it was this unwavering resolve that fueled their strength.In the depths of his struggle, as he activated One For All throughout his right side, echoes of Nana Shimura's wisdom reverberated in All Might's mind. He remembered the fateful encounter with Nana during his youth, where he had expressed his desire to become a beacon of hope for the people. Nana had found him intriguing, setting the course for his journey as a hero.With Nana's words as his guiding light, All Might summoned the power of One For All, coursing through the right side of his body. Gran Torino watched in astonishment as All Might defied the odds, still standing and ready to face the ultimate challenge. Yet, the toll of enduring All For One's relentless onslaught was undeniable, leaving concerns about his body and Quirk in its wake.In the charged atmosphere of the battlefield, All For One, the embodiment of malevolence, calculated his next move. He knew that wounded heroes were often the most fearsome adversaries, and he couldn't help but reminisce about their previous battle. A haunting memory from that encounter still clung to him, an image of All Might's unwavering determination during the hero's final, devastating strike.With a serene levitation, All For One positioned himself above All Might, readying his formidable blast wave attack. The air crackled with anticipation as the moment of reckoning drew near.Yet, just as the tension reached its zenith, flames erupted from the heavens, striking out at the formidable villain. All For One, a master of his powers, effortlessly deflected the fiery onslaught with a single swipe of his blast wave attack. The assailant behind this fiery assault was none other than Endeavor, the scorching hero, accompanied by Edgeshot, a master of stealth.Endeavor was left agog by the sight of All Might's pitiable condition. The hero, who had devoted the majority of his life to surpassing the Symbol of Peace, had now borne witness to his idol's frailty. In his desperation to bridge the unbridgeable gap, Endeavor had taken drastic measures, marrying Rei and fathering a child in the hope of creating an heir who could finally achieve his unattainable goal. The fervor in his eyes ignited, and he demanded that the Number One Hero display the reason he had earned that title.All For One, annoyed by Endeavor's intervention, prepared to unleash his wrath, but Edgeshot's agility and Quirk came into play. The hero launched a lightning-fast assault, yet All For One's uncanny reflexes allowed him to evade the strike with ease.As the battle raged on, Kamui Woods entered the fray, rescuing the wounded Mt. Lady, Best Jeanist, and Gang Orca. His commendation for Mt. Lady's bravery echoed through the chaos. Tiger, too, rallied, regaining his strength and employing his Quirk to free a trapped civilian. He turned his attention to All Might, offering words of encouragement. Tiger reminded the hero that they were shouldering some of his burden, urging him to defeat All For One. He emphasized that, regardless of his appearance, All Might remained everyone's Number One Hero.Tiger's heartfelt encouragement stirred something deep within Gran Torino's memory. He recalled a conversation with his dear friend, Nana Shimura, from years gone by. She had explained to him Toshinori's belief that crime persisted because people lacked a symbol of justice and peace in whom to place their faith. Now, Toshinori had become that very pillar of hope. The realization resonated within Gran Torino as he watched the heroic struggle unfold. Amid the relentless resistance of the heroes, All For One unleashed his might, blowing Edgeshot and Endeavor aside. With a chilling resolve, he activated his Ultimate Quirk Combination, an amalgamation of numerous deadly Quirks that transformed his right arm into a grotesque appendage bristling with lethal screws and hardened minerals. All For One revealed that his previous attacks had been mere preludes, meant to erode All Might's strength, not to end his life. His intention was now clear - he aimed to crush the Symbol of Peace with this devastating final blow.Within the heart of this tumultuous clash, as All Might and All For One charged towards their inevitable collision, a new player emerged. A fighter descended from the heavens with thunderous force, causing the very ground to tremble and fracture. A seismic shockwave rippled outward, reaching both All Might and All For One, interrupting their impending confrontation in a cataclysmic upheaval of earth and power.All For One and All Might exchanged astonished glances as they laid eyes on the new arrival. Their shock was impossible to conceal. It was Izuku Midoriya. All For One's mind raced back to the conversation he had with the Doctor about Izuku's quirk. At the time, he couldn't quite grasp how extraordinary it was, but witnessing this astounding display of power before him, All For One couldn't help but concede that it was indeed an incredible quirk. However, before he could dwell further on this revelation, he was abruptly snapped out of his thoughts.Izuku started to speak, his voice steady and firm, "You know, All For One, I thought that when I met you, I would feel immense anger. After all, you are the cause of her death. But here, I don't feel anything. It's empty." His words hung in the air, a strange stillness enveloping the room.Then, unexpectedly, Izuku began to laugh, the sound echoing with madness. But deep down, he understood why he didn't feel any emotion in that moment. He knew the truth. The cause of his mother's death wasn't solely All For One; it was his own battle lust, the overwhelming desire to unleash his quirk, that had driven him to this point. And that's why he didn't feel much emotion at seeing All For One, the realization weighing heavily on his heart.Seeing Izuku's maddened laughter, All Might appeared worried. He knew he needed to help Izuku regain his composure. "Izuku, it's not your fault for your mother..." All Might began to say, but he was interrupted by Izuku himself."You don't need to say that, All Might," Izuku said, his voice filled with sadness. His smile was bittersweet, as if tears were just beneath the surface. All Might could see the heavy burden of self-blame in Izuku's eyes."If only I didn't lose control, but anyway..." Izuku trailed off, then turned his attention to All Might. "You look miserable, All Might." All Might couldn't help but grunt in response. He was torn between concern for Izuku and the responsibility of safeguarding his power.Izuku continued, his tone resolute. "So, I will take care of him for you, so you can rest easy and let go of your quirk." All Might hesitated, unsure of Izuku's plan, but knowing he couldn't maintain his current state for long. He stored his power, ready to intervene if needed, and placed his hope in Izuku for the time being.Then, Izuku dropped another bombshell. "Oh, All Might, I will not be returning to UA after this. I'm going to withdraw." He paused for a moment, contemplating his decision, before adding, "All Might, this society will crumble without you as the Symbol of Peace. I might not become the next symbol, but I will be something that can help keep this society intact, whether it's as a symbol of fear or something else." All Might tensed up upon hearing this, but before he could respond, Izuku turned his attention to All For One, assuming a bold stance.(battle stance.)Before the battle erupted, Izuku posed a question to All For One, his voice laced with a curious intensity. "All For One, do you know what defines our existence?" Before All For One could respond, Izuku continued, his words flowing with an almost philosophical weight, "Time, space... and mass." There was a brief pause before Izuku pressed on, his gaze unwavering. "And what happens when a being that can control the fundamental elements of existence goes out of control?"A hushed tension hung in the air as Izuku completed his thought. "A heavenly demon is born." But just as Izuku concluded his statement, All For One launched his attack, extending his finger in a deadly strike. In a split-second reaction, Izuku dodged, narrowly avoiding the dangerous attack.(the attack where his finger extengs out that attack i don't know what that is called so i just put that there)Izuku sprang into action, his voice filled with determination as he leaped toward All For One. "Can you withstand the force of a mountain?" he challenged. As he uttered those words, Izuku increased his mass, transforming into a formidable force, and went for a powerful punch. Simultaneously, All For One unleashed his ultimate attack, the same attack intended to defeat All Might. Their arms collided with a thunderous impact, sending shockwaves through the battlefield. Izuku was pushed back, but All For One's arm was visibly damaged.Izuku's surprise turned into resolve as he glanced at a nearby helicopter, then turned back to All For One. "Time to end this," he declared. With a surge of power, Izuku increased his mass to the level of Mount Everest, the highest peak on Earth. He launched himself off the ground, shattering it beneath him, and reappeared in front of All For One. His punch struck with incredible force, shattering All For One's arm.As All For One attempted to retreat and use his healing quirk, Izuku once again appeared before him, striking his shoulder, causing it to separate. All For One grimaced in pain and attempted to play mind games, questioning Izuku's heroism. But Izuku remained resolute. "Who says I want to be a hero?" he retorted. "I am the heavenly demon."With another forceful kick off the ground, Izuku closed in on All For One, and as he neared his enemy, he executed a precise strike to the neck, swiftly ending the villain's life.All Might stood there, stunned and speechless, witnessing his student accomplish what he never could. But before he could voice his concerns, Izuku turned to him, addressing the moral dilemma at hand. "All Might, villains like him won't be held in Tartarus, so it's safe to eliminate him here," Izuku explained firmly. He then dropped another bombshell, leaving All Might in disbelief. "I won't be a hero, All Might. I gave up that dream months ago."Izuku paused briefly and concluded, "This is goodbye, All Might," before leaping away, leaving All Might standing there, utterly stunned and grappling with the consequences of his student's choices.As Bakugo watched the dramatic showdown unfold before his eyes, he couldn't help but be transported back to his younger days when he and Izuku had clashed relentlessly, each driven by the burning ambition to become the number one hero. Those fierce battles, the determination, the rivalry - they were all vivid memories etched into his mind.But now, as he witnessed Izuku's shocking decision to retire and his brutal defeat of a villain, a complex whirlwind of emotions swept over Bakugo. He found himself laughing, almost uncontrollably, as tears streamed down his face. It was a bitter laughter, one born of disbelief and irony.Bakugo knew that with Izuku effectively stepping out of the hero scene, the path to becoming the number one hero had suddenly become more attainable for him. The realization that he now had a chance at achieving his long-cherished dream was both exhilarating and surreal. But intertwined with his laughter was a profound sense of sorrow and loss.Tears welled up in Bakugo's eyes as he grappled with the poignant truth that his childhood friend, who had once shared the same dream, was no longer able to pursue it. He cried for the friendship they had, the battles they had fought, and the dreams they had once shared.Amidst this internal struggle, Bakugo looked at his friends, his voice trembling with a mix of conflicting emotions. "I finally have a chance at number one," he said, his tone laced with sadness. "But at what cost?"His friends gazed back at him, their own emotions mirroring the complex feelings that swirled within Bakugo. The realization had dawned upon them all: the landscape of hero society had shifted dramatically, and with it, the hopes and dreams of those who had once aspired to be heroes.As the days turned to weeks, the weeks to months, and the months to years, a noticeable shift occurred in society. The civilian population had gradually adapted to life without their symbol of peace. More and more heroes were thrust into the field to fill the void left by All might's retirement. The world appeared as peacefull as ever a hero socity will be.However, in the hidden world of villains and the underworld, a new figure had risen, a symbol of terror. This enigmatic persona was known to all but feared by everyone. Whenever a crime occurred near his presence, the criminals or villains involved would mysteriously vanish, only to reappear in front of the nearest police station with their hands and arms broken, incapacitated.This enforcer was none other than "the heavenly demon." His name sent shivers down the spines of those who dared to utter it. When he made his presence known, the crime rate in that area plummeted to zero. Even when he departed, he left a significant number of criminals and villains apprehended, though this time, they were relatively intact.The question of how he acquired information about hideouts, organized crime deals, and ongoing criminal activities remained a mystery to the general public. But those in the know understood that it was Momo Yaoyorozu, formerly the hero "Creati," who was also known as Izuku Midoriya's wife, that provided him with these crucial details.Despite being considered the highest-rated villain, primarily due to his act of eliminating All For One, the law-abiding society didn't perceive him as such, but the law is the law. And yet, no hero ever managed to capture or confront him. In fact, there were instances when "the heavenly demon" appeared to rescue heroes, specifically those from Class 1-A, leaving the hero community and the public in a state of perplexity, admiration, and fear. The legacy of Izuku Midoriya, once the aspiring Symbol of Peace, had evolved into something altogether different, enigmatic, and awe-inspiring.A SYMBOL OF TERRORPS: if you are wandering to whom did all might pass on all for one to its merio. and as i promised romance i you will get it as i have something planed and this story is not finished.i had to do it this way as it felt more natural but i have more planed so stay tuned even though this part is finished
