Chapter 21: Chapter 20 (Supplment):Discussion
Driven by fear, Nighteye fell off the chair, looking at the Allmight who was extending his hand to help him stand up. Nezu, understanding that the vision of the future had caused fear in one of the most pragmatic heroes, sparked genuine interest in Chimera. This made him nod his tail even more intensely and take a long sip of tea.
Lying on the ground and supporting himself with his hand to avoid lying on the floor, Nezu decided to ask what he had seen that was so terrifying in the Allmight's future.
"Do I understand correctly that you didn't see anything good? Am I right?" Mirai merely nodded in agreement with Nezuko's arguments. Standing up from the ground, adjusting his suit, Nighteye sat back on the chair. Heaving a deep sigh, pondering everything he had seen, he placed his hands on his hips, unable to look into the eyes of the still-living Allmight.
"Now listen," he said. None of the participants dared to interrupt him, but in the astral dimension, where human eyes cannot see, seven people stood behind the Allmight, listening to everything his partner would say.

"You all heard what he said. However much I may dislike him due to his fanaticism, his vision of the future has never been wrong," said the second holder of One For All, crossing his arms, dissatisfied with the Allmight's inability to complete what they had been trying to stop for decades — All For One.
Next to him stood the first and third holders, who continued to listen to the negotiations between the three heroes as the main information was obtained.
"I assume this young man with the letter 'M' was created by the Omnipotent, but how?" asked En, the sixth holder of One For All, who had the Quirk "Smoke Screen."
"What concerns me is that Nighteye did not mention All For One, who was supposed to oppose the Allmight. According to his foresight, many points do not match," said Nana Shimura with the Quirk "Flight."
"Indeed, my brother was not mentioned, which means he is dead or by the time frame this hero saw, he had already been defeated," said Eiichiro Shigaraki, the first holder of immense power, the creator of a generation of heroes, and the brother of Hisashi Shigaraki.
"I wouldn't be so optimistic; he is alive, though in a critical condition," said the ally of the second holder of One For All, who had the Quirk of accumulating and releasing kinetic energy, abbreviated as "Fa Jin," who had fought side by side against the terror of All For One, who also died at his hands.
"The young man had his own score to settle with the Allmight and defeated him along with the Quirk of One For All," said the fifth holder, Daigorou, with the Quirk "Black Whip."
"Judging by everything, this young man is still young and not fully matured. If they find this child before it's too late, we can consider that we have defeated the enemy without even fighting him," proposed the fourth holder, Shinomori Hikedo, with the Quirk "Danger Sense." After hearing all the possible options, the first holder decided to draw attention to himself, involving everyone to make one correct decision.
"No matter how frightening this future may be, we, as avatars of One For All, cannot influence it," he said, making a dramatic pause. He glanced at all the attendees, whose expressions showed dissatisfaction but accepted this outcome. Shigaraki continued:
"The Allmight, as the current holder of my Quirk, must choose a successor, and as we all understand, he must be Quirkless to fully absorb our powers for the victory of my brother." The second and third holders smirked at the first holder's words, as finding a young successor who is Quirkless is an impossible task in this era of Quirkless individuals.
"It would be that easy, Eiichiro," smirked the third, drawing attention to himself. Everyone understood what he meant. The Omnipotent, who was Quirkless but had the power of One For All without the Quirks of previous users, fought on equal terms with All For One.
Shimura sighed and looked into the eyes of her student, who found it difficult to bear the burden of the Symbol of Peace and the guardian of One For All. Adjusting her hair, she glanced at everyone with a determined look that said there was something that should not have been.
"What if All For One calculated such an outcome of events and, just like us, prepared his own successor to counter One For All?" she asked.
"Do you think such a powerful being as him could have a son? Don't make me laugh; such a creature is incapable of feeling anything except a thirst for blood. Have you seen that girl and what she turned into?" said Daigorou, feeling revulsion towards his enemy.
"It sounds complicated, but it's entirely possible since we don't know what plans he might have," hypothesized the second holder. But, clearing his throat from the question about All For One's son, the second decided to ask a question that every holder should know.
"Regardless, the Allmight's choice will mark the end of the One For All era with or without a Quirk. Our ninth successor must win, no matter what. And as soon as he chooses him, we must create all the conditions for the ninth holder to use our power." Everyone agreed with this judgment and nodded in approval, but he was not finished and continued speaking.
"If I find the successor unworthy with his selfish goals, he shouldn't even think about using our power," said the second holder.
Reflecting on his words, the opinion was divided into two camps: cold calculation, despite its effectiveness, can always be a biased choice. And then, giving the ninth holder the opportunity to use the Quirks, what was the probability that the ninth holder would not be intoxicated by such monstrous power? Both sides were right in their own way, but everyone knows that the ninth holder will be under the supervision of the previous holders.
"Time will put everything in its place, my friend," he said.
With his words, the silhouettes of the holders began to disappear until the last holder appeared.
