The Battle Begins, and the Heroes and Police Arrive!

All Might, along with the 'enemies' he had brought out of the underground space and the remaining prisoners, were surrounded by everyone in a relatively open area next to the ruins of a small factory.

Separated from them by the ruins of this small factory, yet able to see each other directly, were the "enemies" disguised as ordinary workers. They had planted explosives inside the factory and, ignoring their fellow "enemies" in the underground space, detonated them in an attempt to kill All Might.

All Might and his enemies were like the Chu River and Han Border on a chessboard, with the ruins of the collapsed small factory as the central boundary, standing at opposite ends, surrounded by a large number of 'enemies' who had previously been hidden in the surrounding buildings.

Outside the encirclement of All Might, the disguised workers, and the ruins of the small factory, another group of powerful individuals with grudges against AFO formed an even larger encirclement, surrounding the numerous enemies as well.

The situation has become somewhat delicate.

"... Um..."

The oddly dressed 'enemy,' whose voice had a strangely gentlemanly quality, showed a hint of panic in his eyes after hearing Yamato's words. The appearance of Yamato and the others was not part of his and that lord's plan. However, he did not show any abnormality on the surface. Instead, he had a calm attitude of having everything under control and slowly pondered for a moment.

The 'enemies' standing on the outermost edge of the encirclement turned around in surprise after hearing Yamato's words. Among them were several 'enemies' who had been transferred from the office building faction a few years ago. They recognized the person who spoke and immediately uttered surprised and doubtful sounds.

"This guy... isn't this Yamato?!" "That guy with the strategically important 'Quirk'?" "The one whose 'Quirk' was chosen by the adults but escaped from their grasp..." "An ordinary person, yet he's always going against us!"

Unfortunately, Uraraka Shige wasn't here at the moment, otherwise he would have known that this guy named Yamato had been hiding things from him, deceiving him, and taking advantage of him in many ways.

Even so, it was enough for Mr. Takotsu's group of 'enemies', as well as the gentlemanly 'enemy' who was the leader and spoke somewhat awkwardly, to know the identity of the newcomer.

Then, this "enemy," whose words sounded somewhat awkward and gentlemanly, laughed loudly without turning his head.

"Hmph... you rats with a keen sense of smell? We've prepared a feast for you, yet you refuse to enjoy it. Instead, you come here in droves to disturb our business?"

Unlike his previous mockery when trying to provoke All Might, the disdain in his words this time was genuine and unmistakable, and all two hundred-plus people present heard it clearly.

Meanwhile, among the row of "enemies" standing behind this "enemy," half of the "enemies" of the same level, including Mr. Takotsu, seemed to have received some message or instruction and quietly infiltrated into the group of ordinary "enemies" further behind.

Just as they began making new preparations, the few prisoners who had been well protected by All Might, among the group of guys he had brought up, were the first to regain consciousness.

They looked around at their surroundings with a slight sense of confusion, then suddenly noticed each other, as well as All Might and All Might, who had their backs to them. They exchanged glances.

"Whoosh~"

The sound of a sharp weapon cutting through the air suddenly rang out.

The group of prisoners who had been rescued from the underground prison by All Might suddenly pulled out daggers from their sleeves and stood up to stab All Might in front of them.

Some of them were even cursing.

"All Might? Why are you only showing up now?!" "Where were you when my family and I needed you most?!" "Why did you bring me out here? Don't you know this will mean my family will never receive any resettlement allowance for the rest of their lives?!" "Was all my suffering these past few months for nothing?"

If it weren't for the fierce and brutal glint in their eyes, one could easily believe what they were saying!

However, the fact that they launched a ruthless and decisive attack on All Might's vital points, who had rescued them from the underground space, suggests that these guys, like the ordinary workers before them, were probably 'enemies' in disguise.

The reason they shouted and cursed during their attack was simply because they knew that for someone like the No. 1 Hero, their sneak attack would likely be detected the moment they made it. Therefore, they thought it was better to use words of blame and hatred while attacking, which might make All Might question why he became a 'hero'.

After all, no matter who you are, if you find that someone not only doesn't appreciate your kindness in helping them, but also speaks ill of you, blames you for helping them, or even attacks you, you'd probably feel like you've been bitten by a dog, and doubt yourself, wondering, "Should I really not have helped them?"

All Might did indeed sense their sneak attack the moment they began, and their words sounded weak and powerless in the face of All Might's unwavering conviction.

However, this does not mean that their actions had no effect whatsoever...

Of course, this doesn't mean All Might will be successfully slandered by them, or that he will be angered by their words or anything like that...

The pressure All Might had to bear to become a 'Symbol of Justice' who would never succumb to evil was simply too heavy.

"TexasSmash!"

All Might turned and threw a punch, unleashing another storm that swept up all the 'enemies' disguised as victims.

At the peak of his life, he doesn't need to wait until crucial moments to unleash his fighting techniques, unlike in the original story six years later... For him now, every punch can be a powerful move.

As All Might launched a counterattack against the 'enemies' who had ambushed him, it seemed as if the 'United' forces and the 'enemies' had received some kind of signal.

Mr. Takotsu manipulated his bones, allowing them to extend and grow outside his body along the hollow metal tube at his wrist. He then continuously controlled them, eventually shaping them into sharp bone spears and sturdy bone shields. These were quickly distributed by an 'enemy' with unusually thick arms to the other 'enemies' who had turned to face the 'alliance' and needed weapons.

He wasn't good at long-range combat, so in this situation, he could only manufacture weapons.

However, there are also enemy officers who excel at mid- to long-range combat.

An 'enemy' with fingertips as clear and translucent as crystal beads aimed at the 'Alliance' and, after a brief aiming, fired thin laser beams from each of its ten fingers.

A female 'enemy' carrying a large metal umbrella was thrown into the 'United' crowd by another 'enemy' with a strength-type 'Quirk'. She smashed a group of people with her large metal umbrella, then quickly got up, opened the umbrella, and hid under it.

The surrounding environment then cooled down rapidly, and a light drizzle began to fall from the sky. In an instant, snowflakes began to flutter down, and just three seconds later, hailstones the size of fists fell from the sky, hitting the umbrella and the people around her with a crackling sound.

The allied side also has powerful figures capable of rivaling the 'enemy's' cadres.

Yamato stood still, facing the direction of the 'enemy', with his arms outstretched and muttering incessantly. Countless tiny dust particles, invisible to the naked eye, drifted with the wind toward the 'enemy's' encirclement.

Paralysis Pollen, Chronic Poison Pollen, Hypnosis Pollen, Hemolysis Pollen

A member of the "Union" with sausage lips, who looked as heavy as Rikido Sato from the original work, knelt on the ground and slammed his fists into the ground. A three-meter-high mound of earth bulged up in front of him. He then slammed his fists forward onto the mound, which seemed to come alive and turned into a mud wave that began to surge toward the "enemy's" encirclement.

However, not everyone present went down to the battlefield to fight.

Outside the battlefield, only a few people noticed that on the outermost edge, close to the direction All Might had come from.

A slight unease was brewing among the 'United' members led by Yamato.

"Wait? What's this?" "Someone else is here?" "Whose faction are they?"

Suddenly, a group of people seemed to come alive from two-dimensional images on paper, transforming into three-dimensional beings, as if they had broken free from the paper and squeezed out from the 'United' crowd... They were 'heroes' and police personnel.

"Is this the place where the 'enemies' teamed up to ambush All Might?"

A 'hero' dressed in combat gear looked at the chaotic battle scene ahead and asked Uraraka Shige.

There is no doubt that the reason why Uraraka Shige did not arrive at the battlefield earlier was because he went to look for this group of 'heroes' and police personnel.
