(A.N.: This chapter is a Flashback. Let's see how many people are triggered beacause the MC do stupid things now.)
In the night of the Kamino Incident
After having finished stealing the quirks of the heroes that faced him in the Central Plaza of Kamino, leaving only the one of Endeavor and some others.
Hector retreats to a desolate area in the woods.
In fact, he had arrived in this world a day earlier to prepare. Due to his meta knowledge he knew that the attack on the Training Camp took place two days before the Heroes Raid in Kamino.
In those two days they found the location of the League of Villains due to police investigation and the tracker that Yaoyorozu Momo placed on one of the Nomus with the help of a student from Class 1-B, Awase Yosetsu.
And that the U.A. would trick the villains into thinking they had no clue of they whereabouts, using a press conference where they would apologize for their mistakes. And receive reprisal by the public.
When Hector arrived in the world of BNHA and saw the groundwork of the recent events of Katsuki bakugou's kidnapping, he was able to trust that the world he just arrives is exactly as shown in the Manga/Anime.
He would just have to wait on Kamino until it was time to attack.
And everything goes according with the plan.
After accomplishing the objective of that night, Hector enters his tent that he had brought from Minecraft Inventory and meditates. This was not one of his daily meditations. He had something important to check.

Hector P.O.V. Follow current novels at novelhall.com)
Starting to focus on my inner world and my new acquisitions in powers, my consciousness is moving to a very separate place in my mental world.
A place I prepared early while giving that cringe edgy speech on TV. I couldn't fight without figuring it out first.
The thing is, in the final chapters of the BNHA manga that I read before being transmigrated, it was shown that quirks possess some of the original wielder's personality and consciousness. And complementing this, there is a fandom theory that quirks affect a person's personality as well, such as Bakugou's explosive attitude and Toga's obsession with blood.
That is, when quirks are stolen, transferred or passed on, there is a possibility that the person will inherit personality traits from the previous quirk bearer. And this can be even more extreme in people with incredible egos and willpower.
And special quirks like All For One and One For All.
I have both quirks now, and as I predicted...
I'm not a fanfic MC with plot armor that has some special defense pulled out of his ass against mind attacks and possessions. That's why I've worked hard on strengthening my defenses every night since I got the Chakra Books.
Now I have some loose ends to take care.
.....
Hector Inner World
"Now this is a surprise" I say looking at the nine figures in front of me.
I am in a separate corner of my Inner World. And in front of me is a fragmented room floating on the calm endless lake that is my mind.
The room is divided into two contrasts. In my left half is lit and in my right half is darker.
On one side, the brightest one, sits 8 figures, all strapped into their respective chairs. These are the 8 users of One For All. Or at least what was left of their conscience and spirit.
All Might is the only faded one. Like a flame with the shape of Skinny Might.
And on the other side, darker, there is only one chair. A throne. But the figure seated on it is similarly tied up. In fact, chained all the way down, he can't even move a muscle. Very extreme, but necessary, because this figure is All For One himself.
None of these consciousnesses can do anything in my Inner World. I prepared myself for the possibility of this happening even before I came into this world. With my training I created this split part of my mind to trap them.
Now they are at my mercy, I can erase them at any time.
But like those Wuxia/Xianxia novels, I maybe have something to gain from them. At least with the One For All users...
"I know from the theory that quirks carry personality traits and desires of their users, but you guys are really awesome... Or rather... your quirks are awesome. Full consciences... With Egos, feelings and memories. Ridiculous. Haha" I say just to get a glare from everyone but All For One who seems to be enjoying it all. Keeping an eternal smile on your face.
"I never thought I would get the chance to see so many dead people. Ah~ The nostalgia. My silly little brother... I would hug you if I could." All for One says. Apparently he's been talking and talking, to getting under the skin of all One For All users.
"Keep your sarcasm to yourself, brother." The first One For All user simply responds. He has white hair reaching to his shoulders and a frail appearance.
"...And you're not much better than us All For One. Dead too. Hah. Finally! You got what you deserved!" The fifth user, wielder of the quirk [Black Whip] speaks from his seat. A bald man and with a bulky appearance.
Honestly this situation sounds like a lot of fun, but I have things to do and I don't like people living in my head...
Walking to the room I make a seat appear for me there. Much simpler than theirs. Just a wooden chair.
"Well... this is awkward. But I will have to erase you all." I say while scratching my cheek.
With that, many start talking at the same time.
Their talks have almost the same subject: "Who am I", "What am I going to do with One For All"...
After seeing me ignoring their every word, they calm down. And it seems that an order has been established...
"What is happening in the real world?" the first user asks. It looks like he wants to start small.
And they lost whatever connection they had with their powers. They cannot interfere with One For All nor can they observe the world through my senses. Unless I allow it.
"Nothing for now Only a few hours have passed since I stole eh you guys? But I predict that in time chaos will set in the world, after all the two great Symbols of this society divided between Heroes and Villains have fallen." I answer truthfully.
"What is your objective?" The fourth user, wielder of [Danger Sense] asks. A white-haired man with lines on his face.
"Self preservation" I answer simply "I need to be strong to protect myself"
"If you need protection, you could have asked the heroes for help" Nana Shimura. All might teacher and seventh carrier speaks. She is fair-skinned and has a small mole below her bottom lip, centered to the right, and sharp, intelligent eyes with long eyelashes. Her hair is was dark and straight, kept shoulder-length with the exception of a clump of short bangs hanging above her forehead.
"It's more complicated than that," I reply simply. It wouldn't be a problem to tell these dead guys more, but the explanation would take too long.
They look confused. Understandable I think...
"You should get rid of All For One as soon as possible. I don't mind disappearing. One For All goal has been accomplished anyway." The second user speaks. He is a man with short, spiky hair, a large scar across the front of his face, and wears a combat jacket with a large black collar.
And they began to see the images that I allow. Nothing personal. Just to give them an idea of my motives. Where did I come from? The power levels of my world. That I have seen them through Manga pages.
The information is very little. I didn't give any knowledge about myself, about the future, or anything like that. Nothing will change, they won't exist when I return to the Marvel Universe.
I'm also curious to know what people would think if they found out they were fictional characters for someone else. I will summon fictional characters in the future. It's inevitable. I want to have experience with the situation. I want to know how they will react. Good people and bad people.
And I'm in this world to do tests.
After a few minutes, the water tentacles retreat.
Everyone is shocked and shaken by the revelation.
Surprising me, the first to open his mouth is All For One. And his reaction is unexpected to say at least.
"HAHAHAHA. So the theory of infinite universes is true! And are we that low? Your world is really dangerous, Hector-kun" he says laughing.
"I understand your concerns about surviving now, Hector. But was it really necessary to take the quirks of the heroes?" The first user, Yoichi asks.
But All For One answers before me.
"Don't you understand, silly little brother? This man in front of you comes from a world far superior to ours in terms of power and everything else. Why should he care? For him we are just NPCs, background characters in his story..." he says laughing.
"Ah. I thought I didn't care about dying. But knowing that there are endless possibilities out there ignites a flame that I thought was long gone in my heart" he continues.
"Hector huhu. I admit my defeat." All For One turns to me. "I know my disappearance is inevitable now. I know that Tomura-kun doesn't stand a chance against you... This whole world doesn't stand a chance against you... I will help you. Teaching everything I know in this little time left. Then I will live. I will live in my teachings to you. Huhu" He completes.
And the worst thing is that I do not detect any falsehood in his speech. Inside here I can feel all the emotions and thoughts of these guys. All For One really accepted its fate.
That's a strange way to take all this.
"So that's what you are, brother? A soulless being... You never cared about other people's lives. But now I know you never even cared about your own life. You always treated it like a game... and you were just petty enough not to want to lose." The first user speaks.
But All For One just smiles without responding.
"All these lives All these losses For no reason. No Purpose. Just because you could???" the first user is shaking in rage.
"It would be a waste to have all that power and not use it, right? I just wanted to see how far I could go. Huhu" Al For One responds.
And if they didn't have the restrictions on them, I'm sure it would become a fist fight here.
"Okay. Whatever, you can speak up and I will listen to what you have to say Old Bastard." I say to All For One.
Who knows what the future holds for me. Any experience or knowledge can be precious to me.
"HECTOR" Shimura-san looks outraged.
"Sorry, Shimura-san. But this guy has remained the king of the underworld for over 100 years. With a power similar to mine. Anything he says could be useful to me in the future." I tell her.
"And relax, it's not like I'm going to accept everything he says as an absolute truth. Or as a rule I must follow" I say to calm her down, but she doesn't seem to like this situation at all. Too bad I decide my path here.
"I can't convince you, but let me talk about the other side then. I can help you see that not everything needs to be resolved with clandestine methods," she says after a while.
"No need to counterbalance, Shimura-san. Relax, that's I'm the one using this Old Villain and not the other way around. But if you want to teach me. I will not refuse." I say. And All For One just keeps smiling to itself.
They take this better than I expected. No existencial crisis, or denial... Hum. I'm disapointed.
....
Anyway , with that, I started to be the pupil of the users of One For All and All For One himself. Talk about a strange, unplanned situation.
Shimura-san also convinced me a bit not to kill all of the Shie Hassaikai. To be more merciful, that taking away the quirks would be enough. I followed in part, because it is the pure truth. But I killed Chisaki, even against her advice.
All For One has really stopped trying to take over my body. But I never let my guard down with him in any way.
.....
"When you control an Underworld Empire from the shadows you have to make your subordinates fear you. But it's not good to go around showing your strength all the time, trivializing your existence..." All For One starts talking as I listen. He's talking to me about how to maintain an organization without even having contact with his subordinates.
"If you want to keep your identity a secret, or if this organization is disposable. It is good that you keep a minimum of direct contact with it. Use a proxy... Someone you trust. To carry your orders and wishes." he continues.
"But wouldn't that cause eventual insubordination?" I ask.
"And you better let it cause at first. Let discontent grow, your subordinates underestimating you, some even doubting your existence. Let thoughts of rebellion arise... For you to cut everything with one movement!" It ends cruelly.
"It's not good to be ruthless all the time with your cute pawns. Your time is too precious to take care of any little problems. So you need to think about the moment that you will be the most cruel and ruthless. To they never think of defying you again. To embed in their minds and bodies that you are an absolute existence. Above them..." he continues.
"Machiavelli, huh?" I mumble.
"Exactly!" he says excitedly. "When your organization grows, it will have all kinds of people... Bad apples too. Traitors, incompetent people. Wait for them to give you a reason. And you eliminate them all as an example to others." He continues.
"No one will blame you. Your might will make it right. You may have killed friends, lovers, their family... But in their minds, they will only think that those who challenged you were the fools, the wrong ones. And they will try hard not to be next" he ends.
"I see"
I look at the users side and I see that many of them are disgusted.
"What? Doesn't mean I'm going to do as he says. Just a reference." I say shrugging my shoulders
"I don't like it, Hector" Shimura-san, the person I have the best relationship in here speaks. The one I trust the most. She was the first to accept my side. And she doesn't talk about how I should do things. She advises me saying the bad consequences of my actions.
I don't listen to everything. But I learn a little.
I am young and inexperienced. I understand this much.
Until now I used my superior strength to defeat enemies. I won't always have that advantage.
"I know that, Shimura-san. But you know I'm not a heroic figure, but I'm not a psychopath villain either. I want a perspective from both sides." I reply to her.
She just sighs and doesn't say anything else. She understands my situation.
Over time I released One For All users from their restrictions, they can get out of their chairs now. Minus All For One, he's still stuck. And he doesn't seem to care. I can't understand this guy's mind...
.....
In the afternoon after the Shie Hassaikai raid. And After a little time with Eri.
"In less than an hour I will finishing off your grandson Shimura-san" I tell her. "After taking care of the Shie Hassaikai, I will now end the League of Villains" she looks at me.
"Can't you just take his quirk?" she asks hopefully.
"You know his is too far gone in the madness of wanting to destroy everything.." I reply "He's no more special to me than the others he's killed" I complete and see her just closing her eyes resignedly before I leave.
