He had succeeded. After witnessing the "enemies" seen on the screen of that Elder, those he considered monsters for being capable of destroying planets as if nothing, they, who stood in his way to become the true "Demon King."
Soon, those individuals would be nothing but obstacles for him. Thought a man; who had a powerfully muscular physique, imposing features, short white hair, and discolored red eyes that showed no sensitivity except pure indifference. He wore a dark suit over a white shirt. This individual is known as All For One.
*Insert Image of All For One*
Right now, he was aboard a spaceship, heading toward the New Planet Namek. Certainly, he had faced many difficulties to reach this point, as once they had seen everything the Elder wanted them to see through the screen; about Moro and Granolah, or even Cell Max.
The first thing All For One did when returning to his planet was to put all his funds and resources into building a spacecraft with enough power to travel through outer space. He used all the Quirks he had in his arsenal, the most useful ones he had collected over his 100 years, and prepared to embark on a journey through space.
But he also knew he had to prepare his power and condition beforehand; he knew and had seen the threats lurking beyond his own planet Earth. Those who could kill him unintentionally, as mere collateral damage.
So, using the rewinding Quirk bullets of the now-deceased Yakuza "Kai Chisaki," and alongside Dr. Kyudai Garaki, he managed to improve them to the point of being usable without risks or side effects on his body, managing to regain his youth and strengthen himself as much as possible.
Also, since they didn't have much time and were racing against the clock before the heroes could locate them and ambush them, he used the excuse of transferring his original All For One Quirk to strengthen Tomura Shigaraki and increase their chances of victory against them. Meanwhile, he would keep a copy, with All For One convincing him of this and turning him into practically a Perfect Nomu.
But All For One already had a plan against Tomura Shigaraki; managing to manipulate the transfer process and eliminating Tomura Shigaraki's consciousness from his body. Thus, All For One transferred his original Quirk and consciousness to the "perfect vessel," as he considered Tomura Shigaraki's body.
And he, along with the League of Villains, allied with the "Meta Liberation Army," with All For One taking command of the Army and now being known as the "Paranormal Liberation Front." All of this happened long before the Heroes managed to find their new hideout and a war against the League of Villains was waged. It was smart and quite cautious of him not to wait to implement his plans and to have immediately prepared in advance to deliver the first blow.
And so, they fought together in a bloody and cruel war against the Heroes; one that ravaged entire cities and countries. Killing thousands, or perhaps millions, of people in the process—a total massacre.
Many fell during the war; both Heroes and Villains. But finally, from enormous rivers of blood and mountains of corpses scattered across the battlefield, All For One emerged victorious. He managed to steal Quirks left and right, such as Cathleen Bate alias "Star and Stripes," or that girl named Momo Yaoyorozu's Quirk; which would be very useful for his goal of building a spaceship.
– "You won't get away with this, you damn monster!" – He yelled with all the strength he could muster at that moment. – "There will always be someone or something that will stop you! ... No matter what you did here! Because as long as one man stands up and faces you, All For One, YOU WILL NEVER RISE WITH VICTORY!" – He proclaimed heroically with his last breath. This was none other than the Ninth Successor of One For All; Izuku Midoriya.
He lay on the ground, his body severely battered and broken, with unbearable pain coursing through his entire being; his two arms were mutilated, leaving nothing but stumps in their place. His abdomen was perforated and bleeding, his two legs were broken and twisted at unnatural angles. He was also covered and soaked in his own blood and dust/dirt. It was, in fact, a miracle that he was still alive, though barely hanging on in that state.
– "Hmph! Noble words for someone who's about to die." – He scoffed, while smirking and giving a triumphant smile to the boy who had been one of his greatest challenges, but not an obstacle, in this war. – "Well, be grateful I gave you the privilege to say your last words, Izuku Midoriya." – He stretched one of his arms, placing it on Izuku Midoriya's head, and a glow began to emanate from his palm. He had finally achieved what he had long desired.
While All For One rejoiced, Izuku Midoriya was agonizing on the ground, feeling how little by little not only his body's vitality faded but also how his Quirk, One For All, was slipping away.
– (I'm sorry, Mom, I couldn't protect you... I'm sorry too, guys. I failed all of you... Even though you put your trust and faith in me... I still couldn't defeat All For One... I'm sorry... I am truly, deeply sorry...) – Izuku muttered and apologized in his mind, apologizing to his teammates/friends and those who trusted him. While tears began to well up in the corners of his eyes, falling and rolling down his cheeks.
The boy could no longer keep his eyes open for much longer, beginning to close them, as darkness took over his consciousness. And finally, he succumbed to the sweet embrace of death. He hoped he could meet his friends and family in the afterlife.
Seeing that he had finally eliminated the current successor of One For All, Izuku Midoriya, and taken what was originally his, All For One couldn't help but laugh in happiness. – "HAHAHA, Finally! Finally, I did it!" – He shouted, euphoric.
Thanks to the efforts he made after leaving that cinema room, he had managed to continue strengthening himself like never before, especially now that he had One For All in his arsenal of Quirks. He couldn't help but feel like the king of the world, the most powerful of them all, just as he once had in the past.
But he, more than anyone, knew that this was nothing but a false sense of empowerment. He knew there were people, no, monsters, beyond his planet, capable of making even his newly acquired power seem like nothing. They could crush him as if he were nothing but an ant. No, to them, he was less than an ant, a miserable speck of dust in the vast and great universe compared to those beings.
That infuriated and terrified him in equal parts.
But that was over now, once he had fully recovered from his fight and, using a Quirk from his arsenal to alter his appearance to that of his old body, without further incident, and using Momo Yaoyorozu's "Creation" Quirk to speed up the process of constructing his spaceship, he was finally able to leave his planet in search of the New Planet Namek.
The spaceship could be seen leaving Earth's atmosphere, leaving a trail of light behind it. Until it finally disappeared, leaving behind the now ruined planet Earth; which was littered with the bodies of millions of people scattered throughout the streets.
Buildings and skyscrapers that once stood proudly were now destroyed and collapsed into nothing but rubble. The streets and roads, once clean and pristine, were now shattered and cracked, stained with rivers of blood that soaked those areas. Forests were infested with massive wildfires, with gigantic columns of black smoke rising in many parts of the planet. The giant mountains also collapsed. All of this was the result of the enormous war that had taken place on the planet.

-Outer Space, All For One's Spaceship-
All For One was heading towards New Namek, he didn't know its exact location, but he wasn't too worried now that he was young again, with a body much more powerful than his previous and original one. And with multiple Quirks at his disposal, he would be able to live for thousands of years at his peak power without many inconveniences. He had no idea how he would reach his destination without an exact location, but he would... sooner or later, he would get there.
He promised himself that.

-Time Skip of thousands of years later-
All For One somehow managed to find the location of Namek after going through many things. He had witnessed multiple galactic wars, powerful individuals, and highly advanced civilizations that had almost managed to accidentally kill him through collateral damage; if not for the fact that he barely managed to escape in those instances.
But in the end, he triumphed. He saw countless civilizations and powerful individuals fall, the resurgence of many other civilizations or immensely strong people, but in the end, he always prevailed. And so what if they were much more powerful or technologically advanced than him? He personally saw their downfalls, while he remained alive even to this day.
Furthermore, after all these experiences, he had certainly managed to strengthen himself and gain quite a bit of wisdom and knowledge over time about the galaxy in general. And having obtained information that a person named Zuno supposedly knew everything about Universe 7 and could provide him with the location of the New Planet Namek, he went to him.
However, it was quite a hassle and a huge headache for All For One, as Zuno only granted him one question. But once he asked what he knew about Namek, the person just kept answering absurd things to confuse him or avoid answering, such as "the color of the planet," "the circumference of the planet," or "how the first Namek planet exploded," and so on. But despite the difficulties, in the end, he managed to get information about Namek's location.
So he was heading there at full speed to get the Dragon Balls that he had longed for over thousands of years. After wandering through outer space for so long, after so many hardships and sufferings, he had finally arrived at Namek.
– "Now, finally, I've made it. It's time for my resurgence as the most powerful being in the entire universe! Not even those disgusting Saiyans, nor Freezer, Majin Buu, Moro, Granolah, or Gas could stop me once I make my wish!" – All For One would exclaim in an excited and eager tone, watching as his spaceship was making an atmospheric reentry into Planet Namek, surrounded by a layer of fire due to the speed at which it was approaching the planet's surface.
He kept observing the villages within his range of vision from his spaceship. Expectant, finally being so close to fulfilling his long-awaited wish that once seemed so far away, the one he had suffered so much for. He was about to have his well-deserved reward. – Or that's what he thought.
The ship would land on flat ground near the location of one of the villages, and shortly after, the ship would power off, the hatch opening, revealing All For One in all his splendor. He stepped out of the ship and hovered in the air, watching as the Namekians gradually gathered around him.
– "Greetings, people of Namek. I have come from far away to collect the Dragon Balls of your planet and fulfill my wishes. Hand them over peacefully and summon the Dragon, or I will be forced to use brute force to convince you." – All For One would say with a pompous tone and an arrogant smile on his face, confident that after gaining so much knowledge and experience during his travels across the galaxy, after witnessing galactic-scale wars, no one, except for the Saiyans or the monsters that both the Heroes and the Villains had once observed in that movie theater, would be powerful enough to threaten him.
After all, he had gained so much knowledge during his time in that movie theater, as well as throughout space. Information that the Namekians were a peaceful and kind race, which he had indeed witnessed, a trait he found very pathetic and abhorred, a symbol of weakness. And aside from some warriors, there were no more fighters capable of fighting.
Even the most powerful he had witnessed had been easily defeated by Moro, so he should also be able to, right? He was no longer anywhere near as strong as Moro had once been, but it wasn't like the Namekians were strong on their own, just a weak and pathetic race, even lacking advanced technology. – Or that's what he imagined, the symbol of evil.
The Namekians stood silent, watching the figure now identified as a threat. They were upset because they noticed the man was underestimating them too much, a grave mistake.
Moori, the Grand Patriarch of the New Planet Namek, furious at seeing this unpleasant and despicable figure demanding and threatening his people as if they were insignificant, was about to unleash a blast of Ki to end the man in the formal black suit.
Noticing this, a Namekian rushed forward.
– "Grand Patriarch, let me handle this threat. I failed that time against Moro and couldn't stop him from killing our people... Even though I was the fusion of the strongest warriors from each village." – He clenched his fists in frustration, remembering his failure, an event that had tormented him for many years, leading him to train diligently in case something like that ever happened again. Just like now. – "So, please... Let me make up for my mistake by eliminating this scoundrel." – The Messiah of Namek would say, serious and furious, staring at the unwanted visitor. His tone showed sadness and regret for his previous failure, but with great determination shining in his eyes.
All For One already knew something like this would happen, but he was quite confident he would emerge victorious from this confrontation, after all, he had spent many years preparing and strengthening himself more than ever before, he couldn't lose... or could he? – How naive.
The Namekian Warrior tensed his body, getting into a fighting stance and preparing to attack, and All For One would do the same. However, the speed at which the Namekian moved was such that All For One didn't realize he was standing right in front of him, and by the time he did, it was too late.
– "AAAAH, TAKE THIS!!! DAMN BASTARD!!!" – The Namekian would yell furiously. And, swinging his arm while forming a blade with his hand, he sliced through All For One's body. Dividing him into two parts, with his internal organs spilling onto the ground as he fell, suffering the same fate as Freezer once did on the old Planet Namek many years ago.
All For One would be in disbelief, his brain unable to react or properly process what had just happened, as it was too fast for him. He had spent so much time, resources, and effort not only building a spaceship to travel through space with faster-than-light speed but also struggled for years to discover the location of the New Planet Namek. Now that he was here, was he about to fail? That shouldn't have happened; he'd done and sacrificed too much to get to this point...
– (No, impossible! I can't fail, I did so much to get here! How is this possible?!) – All For One would scream in his thoughts, denying such a possibility. – "I was supposed to be the most powerful in the universe, how can I fail?..." – He would say with his last breaths, frustration and resignation clearly audible in his whispers, but unable to do anything but succumb to the Namekian he had initially considered an easy prey, not believing he could fail after all the planning and effort, all for nothing.
Sighing in relief after seeing that the intruder was finally dealt with, he turned to the Messiah of Namek. – "Thank you for taking care of him, young one. But it wasn't necessary, I could have easily dealt with that task myself." – Moori would say, though he was grateful that the annoying man had been eliminated without much trouble.
– "Don't worry, Grand Patriarch. That's what we Warriors of the Clan are for, it's our duty to protect and let the others of our people rest and not have to deal with such things." – The Namekian Warrior replied to the Grand Patriarch, his face filled with relief and tranquility, happy to have been useful this time.
Noticing this, Moori placed a hand on his shoulder. – "You know, kid. You shouldn't torment yourself or be so hard on yourself for failing back then. Moro was an enemy too powerful even for Son Goku and Vegeta. You did well back then and now too. Besides, you've become immensely strong, so take your well-deserved rest." – He gave the Namekian Warrior a kind and reassuring smile before walking away, continuing his duties with the other Namekians.
The Messiah of Namek stood there, alone, looking up thoughtfully at the sky. And after reflecting a bit on the Grand Patriarch's words, a faint smile appeared on his lips. – "I guess... Moro was really too powerful, maybe I should take a little break and not be so hard on myself about it, huh..." – Shortly after, he followed the others' example and also left the place, though not before taking the villain's spaceship and pulverizing the corpse.
– "And so, after going through so much, All For One would die, the Namekians would return to their daily lives, and the universe would continue on its course." – An old man who had been watching everything from his movie theater room would say stoically, the same one who, thousands of years ago, had shown both Heroes and Villains from the other Earth about beings who could have wiped them out with a simple move.
– "Looks like destiny was cruel to you, as well as to the other Heroes and Villains, huh? I guess it's because you underestimated the Namekians and were blinded by your hunger for power. In the end, you got what you deserved for being so overconfident." – The old man would say indifferently, standing up from his seat and heading for the exit, reflecting on the path the planet took after finishing the screenings.
– "Well, whatever. Life goes on." – The old man would say disinterestedly, leaving the room humming a cheerful tune as the doors closed behind him, leaving the theater in complete darkness.

-The Afterlife-
All For One woke up feeling strange; he was still conscious despite being dead. How was that even possible? he wondered. He tried to move his limbs, but somehow, he couldn't feel them and was even floating. He neither needed to breathe nor could he speak. But he could "see," so to speak. The place he was in, however, was what felt strange.
He was surrounded by some kind of yellow clouds, filling his vision to the point he couldn't see beyond them. Moreover, he was on a path leading to a kind of palace. The path he was on had a huge row of cloud-like shapes, or something like that. Where the palace was, there were blue-skinned beings with horns on their heads, and they were shouting instructions through a megaphone.
Deciding to go along with it to gather more information, he slowly moved forward in the line, until he saw two signs; one said "Entrance Station," and the other, above the palace, read "Palace of Enma."
When he finally entered the so-called Palace of Enma, he encountered the image of a huge figure: dressed in formal attire, with a giant beard, red skin, and horns. He was behind a desk, quickly sorting and marking papers without even giving them a second glance, as if he knew their contents before even reading them. "You go to hell, you go to hell, you go to hell... You go to heaven, you go to heaven, you to hell." All For One was starting to get an idea of where he was, and he didn't like it at all.
When it was All For One's turn, the giant figure paused for a moment and then gave him an amused smile, mocking him. "You know, you were originally going to be sent to the Soul Purifier Machine. But a friend asked me for a little favor, so I'll refrain from doing it for now, heh." He chuckled, entertained by the situation. "Take him to him." He ordered one of the other beings in the room.
As this happened, All For One was nervous, not understanding what the Soul Purifier Machine was or what that favor was about. But he knew instinctively that the being in front of him had enough power and authority to send him to heaven or hell, just as he had seen. That terrified and infuriated him like never before. How dare he decide his fate?! He was the Demon King! To All For One, all of this was too unfair and unforgivable. But he couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't stop one of those beings from taking him away in a vehicle to who knows where.
Once they reached their destination, they stopped in front of another vast sea of yellow clouds, but this one had a different path, starting with a snake's head. That's where the servant of the giant took him, and they waited.
Finally, a sound came from behind them. A new figure appeared out of nowhere; he was dressed in a blue martial arts outfit and grayish-blue pants, a white belt around his waist, and orange wristbands. He wore black boots. His hair was spiky, shaped like a palm tree, and despite his relaxed face and posture, he emitted an aura of power and wisdom like no one All For One had encountered before.
All For One immediately recognized him. How could he not? He was one of the figures he would never forget; his nightmares had always been haunted by the figure standing in front of him since he entered that cinema room. The very fact of recognizing him, of having him in front of him after so many years, filled him with terror. His soul trembled with fear at the sight of that monster; he wanted to flee from this place at any cost and get away from that being.
After all, he knew that even after many years, he hadn't come close to achieving even a fraction of the power shown by this person, Son Goku.
He had planned to be the strongest in the universe by making a wish on the Dragon Balls, and that was where his confidence to defeat threats of the level of the figures shown on the screen came from. But he had failed miserably, and all his efforts were in vain. Without that wish, he knew he would be no match, even in the base form of that Saiyan.
Goku, seeing how All For One's soul tried to escape as soon as he recognized him, simply shook his head and sighed. He knew who he was. After all, while wandering the Afterlife, he had coincidentally encountered a soul that was about to be reincarnated, but what was strange was that this soul refused to do so and clung to Goku, as if it recognized him.
It was then that he asked Enma to grant that soul a physical body to find out what it wanted, learning that the soul, when alive, had been named Izuku Midoriya. He told him everything that had happened, about the existence of another Earth, about an old man who had kidnapped them into a cinema room to watch them fight against Majin Buu, Broly, Moro, Granolah, the Heata Brothers, Freezer, and even the monster Cell Max, whom his son Gohan and Piccolo fought, along with other enemies.
He also spoke about what happened afterward on that Earth, after they finished watching those visualizations. About how All For One had won and ended up massacring that planet. Izuku Midoriya begged, no, he pleaded with Goku to end that person, and Goku agreed. Izuku Midoriya was then finally reincarnated in peace, after being reunited with his friends and family.
Since then, Goku, along with his friends, had been watching through Kaio-sama the path All For One had taken, along with the challenges he faced. Thousands of years had passed since then, until they finally witnessed the death of the so-called "Symbol of Evil" at the hands of the Messiah of Namek.
Soon after, Goku once again asked Enma Daio-sama if All For One could keep his body, at least temporarily. Enma willingly agreed, knowing the punishment that Goku and his friends would give him.
"You know," Goku said, instantly drawing All For One's attention. Turning his "body," All For One looked at him attentively. "I heard you're pretty strong. How about we fight?" Goku said, with a fun and eager smile on his face. But to All For One, it didn't seem fun or exciting at all. It sent a chill down his nonexistent spine, freezing him with terror.
And so, Goku took All For One to Kaio-sama's Planet, where he would face torment for many years, filled with beatings from Goku and his friends, before finally being stripped of his physical body and purified, reincarnating into another being in the universe.
Would it be good? Would it be evil again? Who knows. That's a story for another time.
The end...

What did you think of this One Shot? It's a remake of one I made on Wattpad. I think I made it understandable enough even if you don't know the context behind it, as I based it on a BNHA Watching Dragon Ball, by a user named @Goku_Z on Wattpad.
Anyway, just like this One Shot, I had planned to upload my other two stories that are already published on Wattpad here on WebNovel, one One Shot and a Spin-Off of the same BNHA Watching Dragon Ball. But for now, it will only be this One Shot and the other Fanfic about the Resurrection of the Saiyans.
With nothing else to say, I bid you farewell, goodbye!
