"... Awakening?"

Uraraka Shige glanced at the expanding area of Decay around Shigaraki, her eyes flickering slightly, and she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"No wonder he was chosen by 'AFO' to be his disciple... Wait... If I remember correctly, this shouldn't be called awakening, but rather 'revival' or 'return'... Shigaraki... This man actually awakened his 'Quirk' when he was very young?"

So much time had passed that many of his memories had become extremely blurry... Only now, seeing this scene, did he vaguely recall that there seemed to be a description of Shigaraki's 'Quirk' returning in the original work...

However, because his memory of this description was so vague, even though he remembered that it seemed to have happened in the original work, he still dared not be 100% certain that it was true.

And at this point, whether or not this matter is true or not is actually no longer important.

"This 'Quirk'... a 'Quirk' capable of Decay everything, is indeed very powerful. Everything with a physical form, and if you want, even water, air, and even fire could probably be Decay by your 'Quirk'!"

The flickering light in his eyes gradually cooled, becoming chilling. The people around him, including Big Sis Mag, looked at Uraraka Shige with surprise. Some did not understand the meaning behind his words, while others understood but still decided to wait and see.

As Uraraka Shige's gaze turned cold, her voice ceased to be feigned, and her entire demeanor instantly changed.

"But unfortunately, my 'Quirk' is called 'Gravity.' Quirk's pressing down on you right now is Gravity, which has no fixed form. Even though your 'Decay' can destroy almost everything with a physical form, your 'Quirk' is both weak and powerless against those beings that have never been intangible."

"Just like the human heart... and of course, the Gravity I can manipulate is the same."

Uraraka Shige watched as Shigaraki gradually Decay the surrounding ground. She carefully diverted some of her energy to move away from Shigaraki's location and activated her Quirk to lift herself off the ground.

He then turned his gaze to the other 'League of Villains' members around him.

"Toga, Spinner, Big Sis Mag. The League of Villains' existence has always been solely for destruction, to plunge the world back into darkness. This is not Stain's ideal or belief! He is an entity that seeks to correct all errors and guide the world toward a righteous future! To this end, he will eliminate those errors that cannot be corrected! Just like those unworthy 'heroes'! Or those 'enemies' who cannot control their desires! Undoubtedly, the League of Villains, existing only for destruction, is one such error that cannot be corrected, but can only be eliminated!"

These words, spoken at this moment, would obviously not have much effect. At least, they wouldn't make the surrounding group of 'League of Villains' members work for him or turn around to help him deal with other 'League of Villains' members just because of his few words.

Whether these people will even have the slightest bit of trust in his words is still unknown.

After all, words are, in some ways, the most useless thing.

"Those people are the helpers that Stain and I recruited. Because the evil and wrongdoings hidden beneath the 'League of Villains' are so immense that even Stain, with my assistance, still feels powerless, fearful, and disheartened. Therefore, we recruited many helpers. These people are just the first to arrive here; presumably, the other helpers will soon gather here as well. Stain himself will also arrive soon. You will soon be able to discern whether what I'm saying is true or not."

"But before that, to ensure these targets who should be eliminated are thoroughly eradicated this time, we must first prevent their escape. Although the Kurogiri is currently unconscious, the portal can still be forcibly opened by that man named 'AFO.' Therefore, we must control the portal, or better yet, destroy its source! Spinner, Stain and I, along with our helpers, need your assistance! Please help us guard this rat hole (referring to the portal) we left for them, and if necessary, destroy it!"

Ke Uraraka Shige still said the same thing.

Because words, though weak and powerless, can sometimes become the sharpest blade... capable of piercing the heart.

Although Uraraka Shige clearly lacks the ability or skill to engage in such verbal sparring, Twice and others, even Spinner, Stain and most wants to inherit Stain's beliefs, would not heed his words to eliminate the Kurogiri Spinner. They might not even bother to guard the portal or control the entry and exit of others.

But at least, these few words were enough to plant a seed in their hearts.

After all, they all truly understood the League of Villains and officially joined it because of Stain, so they would naturally be more cautious when it Stain League of Villains.

In this way, no matter what Uraraka Shige does next, they will hesitate and be a little uncertain. At the very least, even Dabi will consider the gains and losses more.

What Uraraka Shige needs is precisely this hesitation and consideration from them. This will give him more time.

As he said, the Stain one of his trump cards was because when he was taking care of Stain and preventing Shigaraki from killing Stain, he had already communicated with Stain and planned everything for today's events.

At this moment, Stain should be heading to this battlefield as part of their plan, just as expected.

Once Stain arrives, Spinner, Atsuhiro Sako, and Big Sis Mag will likely follow Stain's wishes and come to his and Stain's side.

If it weren't for Toga's personality and emotions, which made her somewhat unstable, Toga would probably have been recruited into Uraraka Shige's arsenal later on.

However, he did not seek help from others in these plans with Stain. Therefore, relying on his wisdom and Stain's strong, even somewhat stubborn and distorted, beliefs, these plans inevitably had flaws.

Moreover, when today's events conclude, whether successful or not, Stain will have essentially facilitated the formation of another 'group,' the future impact of which will be immeasurable.

But Stain, after all, just one of the trump cards he had prepared for today, not the whole set.

Furthermore, Gu Yu and the others have now arrived.

Therefore...

Farewell, Shigaraki.

Uraraka Shige looked at Shigaraki, who was being suppressed by her Gravity but was still struggling by recklessly releasing his 'Quirk', and a cold Shigaraki flashed in her eyes, mixed with a hint of pleasure.

"Once I take care of you here, and then join forces with our helpers to assist All Might in taking down your teacher, I will no longer be subject to your restrictions and will gain a great deal of freedom."

The ground, Decay by Shigaraki's 'Quirk,' had spread to Uraraka Shige's feet.

If Uraraka Shige hadn't used his 'Quirk' to fly, he probably would have been affected by Shigaraki's 'Quirk' by now, gradually Decay into fragments, and eventually turning into dust.

However, that's where it ends.

After making her declaration, Uraraka Shige threw the wooden sword in her hand into the air.

Then, following the adjustment of Gravity, the wooden sword plunged straight into the back of Shigaraki's neck from mid-air. Its speed was so fast that it even created a series of whooshing sounds.

Then...
