You Wish

After Midoriya Izuku left, All Might turned and charged straight at Shigaraki Tomura, shouting, "Carolina!"

"Nomu," Shigaraki Tomura said calmly. Nomu immediately stepped in front of him.

"Smash!" All Might crossed his hands and struck Nomu, sending waves surging across the great lake behind it. It showed just how powerful All Might was.

Once the waves subsided, All Might's expression gradually turned grave. This enemy called Nomu had not suffered even the slightest injury. In other words, what Chiffon had said was completely accurate. This enemy called Nomu had probably been created specifically for him.

Nomu's eyes shifted as it stared at All Might and opened its mouth, seemingly mocking him. Then it suddenly spread its arms wide and tried to seize him.

"So it really had no effect at all." After dodging the powerful grab, All Might punched Nomu in the stomach. Yet the result was the same—Nomu was not injured in the least.

At that moment, All Might suddenly noticed a gash on Nomu's right side, though it seemed to be healing rapidly. Chiffon had said it possessed regeneration, and that was indeed true. But among everyone present, who could injure such a powerful enemy?

Who had caused that wound?

"If you want to hurt Nomu, carving its flesh away bit by bit would be more effective. Of course, whether it will give you the chance is another matter." Shigaraki Tomura spread his arms, as if Nomu were his greatest masterpiece, capable of contending with the strongest hero, All Might.

"Thank you for the detailed explanation." All Might moved behind Nomu, grabbed it around the waist, and slammed it backward onto the ground. "If that's all it takes, then this is a piece of cake."

"Boom!"

A thunderous crash rang out, and gray smoke shot into the sky. Shigaraki Tomura raised his hands before his face, unable to open his eyes against the gusts.

"Yeah! Serves them right!" Rikido Sato watched All Might unleash his might and excitedly pumped a fist. "Those guys underestimated All Might way too much!"

"Why did a suplex sound like an explosion?" Mineta Minoru rubbed his chin and said excitedly, "All Might really is overwhelmingly strong." They were safe now, having put some distance between themselves and the central area.

"Even though he's a rookie teacher who needs to watch the stir-fry during class." Tsuyu-chan also felt that this was when All Might was at his strongest, while he was more approachable during lessons.

"Go for it! Hit him in the balls!" Mineta Minoru suddenly shouted.

After the gray smoke dissipated, a streak of blood ran from the corner of All Might's mouth. Gritting his teeth, he said with difficulty, "S-so that was what you were planning...?"

At that moment, everyone saw it. Kurogiri had used his teleportation ability to transfer Nomu's upper body to All Might's lower body. Nomu's hands were embedded in the flesh at All Might's waist, locking down his movements in a bizarre position.

"You planned to drive him deep into the concrete and seal his movements?" Shigaraki Tomura cackled. "That won't hold him down."

"Because Nomu's strength is comparable to yours." Kurogiri had also limited All Might's ability to move. He spoke calmly, knowing Nomu's strength better than anyone.

"Hehehe..." Shigaraki Tomura chuckled a few times and said to Kurogiri, "Excellent, Kurogiri. An opportunity just fell right into our laps."

Kurogiri suddenly frowned. All Might seemed to be trying to use his strength to break free from this deadlock. The Symbol of Peace truly was powerful. Such strength was genuinely enviable.

But it was useless. Nomu's fingers were buried deep in All Might's waist. All Might gritted his teeth and said, "That's my weak spot. Stop it!"

Abandoning his hold on Nomu, All Might tried to pry Nomu's hands apart, but in the next instant, he discovered the problem. Nomu was simply too strong.

"You'd better be prepared for the consequences of committing your first crime like this." Even though All Might could not move at the moment, he did not forget to shake the enemies' resolve. These villains had apparently planned this long ago—they had come specifically for him.

"Kurogiri." Shigaraki Tomura scratched his chin and looked at Kurogiri, seemingly issuing some kind of order.

"Although I hate things like blood and organs spilling all over inside me, if it's someone as important as you, I'd be more than happy to accept it." Kurogiri spoke unhurriedly. "Nomu's task is to restrain someone as fast as you, someone the eye can barely follow. Then, my task is to shut half your body inside a gate and tear you apart!"

"Hey, hey!"

Just as the atmosphere grew tense, Chiffon walked over with his arms folded. Looking at the three of them, he said, "You three seem to have forgotten we exist. Did you think we'd just stand around like idiots and watch you tear All Might in half?"

Shoto Todoroki stood to Chiffon's left, while Bakugo Katsuki, who was still somewhat unconvinced, obediently stood to Chiffon's right. Izuku, carrying Shota Aizawa on his back, let out a sigh of relief. He had wanted to rush out and save All Might. He would never watch All Might die before his eyes. Even if Izuku had to die himself, he would not let All Might die trying to save everyone.

Now Chiffon, Shoto Todoroki, and Bakugo Katsuki were present. Nomu and Kurogiri could not spare their attention to act, leaving only Shigaraki Tomura free to move.

Shigaraki Tomura had nearly forgotten about the troublesome Chiffon. He immediately grew irritated and said to Kurogiri, "Hurry up!"

Kurogiri nodded and began carrying out the plan to tear All Might apart.

"You wish!" Chiffon pulled his hands apart, and the Thunderclap Spear appeared. He struck Kurogiri's silver armor, which seemed to be the place Kurogiri needed to protect—the location of his weakness.

"Don't get too cocky, brat!" Shigaraki Tomura charged at Chiffon. Once he dealt with Chiffon, there would be far fewer problems.

Naturally, Shoto Todoroki would not let Shigaraki Tomura have his way. Two streams of ice shot toward him. Bakugo Katsuki knew he was no match for Shigaraki Tomura in close combat, so he had learned to be smarter and attacked Shigaraki Tomura from afar with his Quirk.

The Thunderclap Spear struck Kurogiri. In pain, Kurogiri loosened his guard slightly, and All Might immediately began struggling fiercely. Kurogiri seemed very afraid of Lightning.

Chiffon's eyes lit up. That made things easy. "Sorry, everyone. Please bear with this for a moment."

Shoto Todoroki glanced at Chiffon. Chiffon pressed both hands against the ground and said, "Thunder Shockwave!"

"You really can't tell friend from foe apart," Bakugo Katsuki spat. Then he suddenly blasted himself into the air with Explosion, avoiding Chiffon's attack.

Shoto Todoroki immediately raised an ice pillar beneath his feet, lifting himself higher.

All Might was not so fortunate. Thunder Shockwave was an indiscriminate attack, but considering All Might's physical condition, Chiffon simply ignored the possibility that he might be harmed.

In an instant, the ground began to tremble as Lightning raced wildly across its surface, striking every enemy. Kurogiri immediately could not endure it any longer, and his teleportation Quirk, which had been restraining All Might and pulling him downward, failed. All Might was affected as well, but such an attack had virtually no effect on him. Like Nomu, he remained unaffected.

Chiffon was targeting only Kurogiri. The others were merely collateral; his goal was to free All Might from the combined restraint of Nomu and Kurogiri.
