The Battle Officially Begins

After All Might, his face contorted with rage, removed the tie from his neck, he suddenly vanished from everyone's sight.

This was entirely because All Might's speed was so fast that it was impossible for others to track him with their dynamic vision.

With such swift movements, All Might knocked down a large number of 'enemies,' including the Kurogiri, with lightning speed (not the lightning of the past). The black smoke that formed the Kurogiri's body was directly blown away by the wind generated by All Might's movements.

Immediately afterward, Shigaraki All Might the Nomu, who were standing next to Eraser Head, intending to rescue Eraser Head from their clutches...

All Might's immense strength, swift reactions, choices, and actions.

And while the 'Nomu' was a cyborg developed specifically for All Might, possessing strength comparable to All Might at this moment, and even having a 'Quirk' specifically designed to absorb impacts like All Might, it lacks sufficient self-awareness and can only act according to the orders given by Shigaraki.

Therefore, before Shigaraki could react or give any instructions, the Nomu did not do anything to stop All Might's actions.

All Might thus rescued Eraser Head with ease and quickly returned to the platform, handing Eraser Head over to Android Thirteen for protection.

"Thirteen, take the children and go first. Aizawa- kun is unconscious, you must protect him and get him to the medical room as soon as possible."

All Might pleaded with "Thirteen," the "rescue hero" who looked like an astronaut, before turning to the "Power Loader" and saying:

"There are still some children who aren't here; I'll leave the task of rescuing them from the 'enemy' to you for now!"

"Hmm! That 'enemy' covered in black smoke has a 'Quirk' that can teleport people to other places. Those kids who aren't here have been teleported to various disaster simulation sites. Be careful, All Might!"

The voice of 'Thirteen' rang out. He knew that the mission All Might had given him was very important, but intelligence support regarding the 'enemy' was crucial. Therefore, 'Thirteen' only began to act after informing All Might of the 'Kurogiri' information.

"Kugeki~ Leave it to me."

The 'Power Loader' readily agreed, and then, relying on the information provided by 'Thirteen', quickly headed to the nearest disaster simulation site.

Upon seeing this, All Might first breathed a slight sigh of relief, then his expression turned serious again, a wolf-like glint flashing in his eyes, before he turned his gaze toward the location of Uraraka Shige and the others.

Bang!

All Might stomped his feet hard on the ground, his body smashing through the air with a loud bang, causing a large amount of airflow to become turbulent and disperse in all directions, before his figure disappeared once again.

Shigaraki kept a close eye on All Might after he appeared.

The moment All Might disappeared again, Shigaraki opened his eyes wide, intently trying to observe All Might's movements.

However...

Even though All Might's strength has declined considerably compared to his peak, he is still far superior to Shigaraki, who has not yet grown. Therefore, no matter how Shigaraki's eyes were, he still could not find All Might's whereabouts. Finally, feeling increasingly uneasy, he called out to him.

"Nomu!"

At the same moment All Might's figure disappeared, the black mist that made up his body dissipated due to the wind generated by All Might's previous actions. The Kurogiri, which had almost exposed its weakness, quickly teleported its directly touchable weakness to Shigaraki's side. Then, a large amount of Kurogiri gathered again from Shigaraki's side, forming his figure.

But the moment he solidified his body, All Might's attack had already struck Shigaraki beside him.

"Boom!"

A loud noise.

A large amount of smoke and dust.

A whistling airflow.

It swallowed up several people, including Uraraka Shige.

This wasn't a move like 'Smash'; it was just All Might's normal attack that created this effect and momentum.

However, this attack did not achieve any desired effect... for All Might.

His attack was forcefully blocked by a dark figure, taller and stronger than him.

It's 'Nomu'.

The cyborgs, created specifically to counter All Might, now face off against All Might head-on.

"Attack... ineffective?!"

All Might was utterly astonished to see the 'Nomu' completely defenseless, forcefully withstanding his attack solely through its waist and abdomen, rendering the attack ineffective.

Because the timeline differs from the original story, Midoriya, who has been transported to the flood-stricken area, has not yet resolved the crisis he is currently facing. Therefore, naturally, no one is providing him with information that the 'Nomu' can nullify his attacks.

Therefore, All Might, who has long been Symbol of Justice and has always trusted the power of the Quirk called 'One For All' passed down through generations, was so shocked when he suddenly saw that someone could actually block his attack with their body and completely nullify it that his heartfelt astonishment was enough to make All Might reveal a flaw in that instant!

Fortunately, according to Shigaraki's plan, all the Nomu had to do was control All Might, keeping All Might stationary and preventing him from moving at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

The real way to defeat All Might was to use the 'Quirk' of the Kurogiri to forcibly tear All Might's body in half starting from the waist.

Therefore, the attacks that Nomu used against All Might were all direct, wide-ranging grappling and control attacks.

This gave All Might a brief moment to react, allowing All Might to recover from his shock and quickly retreat to dodge the Nomu's grab that took advantage of his opening.

Uraraka Shige, Shigaraki, and Kurogiri also took this opportunity to retreat a distance, temporarily leaving the main battle to Nomu and All Might.

After glancing at the battle between All Might and the Nomu, Shigaraki suddenly turned to Uraraka Shige and spoke:

"Oh, right, it seems a 'hero' went to rescue the students who were teleported away by the Kurogiri... The group of guys he gathered definitely wouldn't be a match for that official 'hero'... To prevent that 'hero' from coming back to cause trouble later..."

"... Uraraka Shige, go and delay that 'hero,' don't let that guy come and get in our way. You said you'd prove yourself, didn't you?"

Shigaraki looked at Uraraka Shige and was about to call Uraraka Shige by name, but not wanting to be treated as an 'enemy' to deal with All Might who had done him a favor, Uraraka Shige nodded first.

"I understand. Leave that 'hero' to me. Just delay him, prevent him from rescuing those students, and keep him from interfering with you. That's within my capabilities."
