It quickly cleared as the tendril broke into a million pieces with Izuku using his teeth before it reached Katsuki's body not too far away.

"Oops... Wrong target... Still worked out, I suppose." He grinned, "Interesting how you're so eager to protect a dead body."

Izuku felt his rage boil once more, his hands almost losing their feel with how tight his fists were gripped, but his mind kept telling him that All For One was purposely trying to irk him. He couldn't let him win.

Without warning, he kicked All For One in his face, sending him flying in the opposite direction of where Katsuki's body was currently resting.

It would be best if I take the fight as far from here as possible!

When All For One landed, he couldn't catch his breath or make any comments as Izuku was already leaping towards him, landing more hits into his weakening body.

He's starting to lose muscle. If I keep hitting him like this, he won't have time to heal! I just need to hope that I have enough One For All left to destroy his body!

All For One grabbed both Izuku's fists, stopping him in his place and kicking him off from his body.

He took a deep breath as he stood back up, "I bet you thought you were pretty close to defeating me, huh? If the past One For All users couldn't, no matter how hard they trained their bodies to wield the power of One For All, what makes you think you could ever defeat me!? I have more quirks than you can name! I've lived longer than anyone on the planet! And even if I were to be beaten, it won't be by some nobody Omega like you!" All For One laughed.

Izuku felt as though it was almost hopeless. No matter how many times All For One is kicked down, he gets back up like it's nothing. However, there were a few key things he picked up on.

"No matter how hard they trained their bodies to wield the power of One For All..."

"I just need to hope I have enough One For All left to destroy his body!"

It was a crazy idea, but Izuku thought back to the conversation he had when he first met All Might all those years ago...

"I never thought about giving my powers to an Omega before, given how dangerous the effects could be."

"D-Dangerous how, exactly?"

"Well, it's a quirk stronger than even most typical Alpha quirks, so an Omega wielding it would probably cause your body to explode instantly."

"MY BODY WILL EXPLODE!? I CAN'T TAKE YOUR QUIRK, I'LL DIE!"

"Relax, kid. It just means you'll have to train harder than most people. Even with being an Alpha, I had to train more than your average Alpha to make sure my body could keep up too. I won't transfer it until I know that you're ready for it."

"Well, I always figured with me being quirkless and an Omega already, I'd have to do more than everyone else to be a hero. I guess this wouldn't change much then."

"That's the spirit, kid. Now, let's get to work. You have a long way to go..."

It would be a huge gamble, but seeing how All For One's body was seconds from falling apart, perhaps it was the best chance he had. Otherwise, he'd risk being the first to lose consciousness and let All For One win.

Being a hero was always about big risks for the greater good, right?

As much as he didn't want to say goodbye to One For All, having no quirk was better than a life of constant oppression. Not just for him, but for everyone. If he could protect the future for all Omegas, it was a sacrifice he'd gladly take.
