Before the start of this chapter I would like to thank zhoujianto12 for helping me in writing this chapter(don't listen to him zhoujianto12 did most of the work). So please check his work, he wrote an awesome story(by the upload of this chapter).

Thanks zhou without him I don't think I would have done this chapter.

This chapter for me is the biggest turning point in this series. So that's why(and my upcoming boards) I have been busy in my actual life.

Garou.

He didn't knew where he was. What he saw was only sea of rubble, shrouded by the dark of the night. All buildings were obliterated, save few. He knew that only god-level disaster could inflict such damage upon the land. He walked from his current place to inspect the surroundings. He climbed a hill of ruin. And behind it, was something he never expected. He fell on his knee as his vision caught the spectacle.

Bodies of knocked out heroes garnished the place. He knew who they were. Result of his last hunt. He could discern each individual. Most of them sustained severe injuries to the point that they were on the verge of demise. But since they were heroes, death seemed only looked for a while and left them in such a miserable state. And there was only one of them who stood, without wound, unwavering. His shiny bald head reflected the moonlight as his cape blown by the night wind.

Facing the hero, was a devilish creature. The symbol of fear. The epitome of terror. The ultimate form of monstrosity. Or that's what Garou ever thought.

The giant demon lashed out its punch toward the baldy, only to be countered with an absurdly strong headbutt. Its arm was destroyed. The baldy then retaliated with a very strong jab which sent the very body of the creature into oblivion.

Garou didn't have the courage to see the sight. He could not bear the reality that the loser was him. It was HIM who chased the ideal to reach the top form of evil. To achieve… peace? And the result… it was nothing more than humiliation. It was so wrong. Monster always lose. Hero is always the winner in the end.

"Yo!" A man greeted Garou.

Garou kept his face down. He was too embarrassed to face the man.

"Oi, stand up!" The man commanded Garou with annoyed tone.

Garou didn't budge.

"Stand up!" The man's hands grabbed Garou's shoulders brashly.

As he stood and turned around, Garou finally knew the identity of the man. It was his own self when started to transform. The crimson hair and right eye with matching color were the telling appearance.

"Pathetic. You are totally useless." His transformed self mocked Garou.

Garou sneered in response. He really despised his other self who he had ever became.

"What happened to you." His other self said as his derisive glare pierced Garou's golden eyes. "TELL ME! You said you were a monster. Now where is it?" Then the monster smirked. "Don't tell that the monster is nothing more than a crybaby after that fight"

The statement pissed Garou off. He dashed forward to punch the crimson haired man only to get a very strong kick to his stomach. Garou crashed onto a ruined building. He felt so much pain.

"See…" His other self stood near him with a very wide smirk. "You can't do anything."

Garou stood and lashed his arm to strike using Bomb's technique. But the man dodged it with little effort and slapped Garou's face. Blood trickled down his nose.

"We are in a different league. Now… see for yourself!"

His monster self vanished as the surrounding place morphed into places he ever visited. What he saw was scenes of his Hero hunting. He stood, watching himself.

"You said you were a monster. You said it yourself!" His monster self said as the scene showed the moment he declared himself as a monster when he came to Heroes Association HQ.

"Do you think that you can take them all?" His other self continued as the scenes of his struggles against heroes played until he was caught by Phoenixman as three other heroes were facing Elder Centipede. "How can you endure such grave wounds if it wasn't because of that monster[a]?"

"Do you think that you a human can bring one self to that level[b]?" His other self inquired as the scenes changed to the time when he endured the consecutive attacks from Overgrown Rover, Gyoro-Gyoro, and Orochi. The entire scene then dissolved into a black void. His monster self then materialized in its full monster form. The form he attained after defeating nearly all S-class heroes.

Both the warriors took a fighting stance. But Garou didn't have the chance. In a blink of an eye, his monster self sent a left hook to Garou. Garou flew and crashed into an invisible wall. He stood and suddenly the monster attacked Garou with both his hands. Garou's eyes glowed red and caught both the arm and hit his other self with his knee, sending Bang's move to its chin. Garou let loose the hands of the monster as it stumbled backward. Garou placed his left foot on the monster's feet and used Water Flowing technique to kick its face. The monster rolled over and laid on the ground for a few minutes to stand up again.

"Pathetic. Just as I thought." The monster uttered with its flaming gaze. "Is that how that monster fought?"

Garou flinched. The only reason was not that he wasn't strong enough. He was broken down inside due to his deeds. Injuring heroes, letting his master down and other mayhems he committed, all felt made his heart sank when he lost to the baldy. That wasn't just a loss. No! It was something more than Garou could ever recover from. He not only lost his confidence, but also his former self too.

And now, he is nothing more than a person who is dead inside but doesn't want to die because of that kid. Why? He doesn't understand. But right now he had to deal with his former self now.

His other self flew toward Garou while using its combo of demonic power and Fist of Whirling Wind to beat Garou. He was beaten until his soul nearly slipped. Yet, death didn't claim his soul. The monster left the arena as he tried to stand, and then suddenly the monster stopped and turned his head and seemed to smirk.

The monster vanishes into thin air and suddenly Garou sees silhouettes. Many of them were standing in a file, and while some looked like human some did not, but the one standing behind them was huge. So big that it was like a city came to life and took a form to kill. Garou felt real fear inside him, sweat rolling through his body and just as they were about to rush at him to kill, he woke up.i

PS: I didn't upload this chapter because of someone supposedly said that I got a competition.
