...?

After 'AFO' landed on the ground, Stain and the others quickly surrounded it, preparing to continue their attack.

'AFO' slowly and laboriously raised his left arm, which swelled rapidly as he did so. By the time he fully extended his left arm, the swelling had reached its maximum, even exceeding the extent of the previous impacts, which had torn his sleeve into strips of cloth.

Then, in the next moment, a large amount of air was squeezed out from this left arm, creating a powerful impact that swept towards All Might, who was now almost in front of him.

All Might threw a punch, and the immense power collided with the impact, causing them to vibrate and blow away Stain and the others around them. Even Uraraka Shige was thrown back several times by the aftershock. Although she managed to stabilize herself in mid-air by activating her Quirk, it had already pushed All For One out of the Quirk's range.

The only ones unaffected by the impact were 'AFO', who launched the attack, All Might, who retaliated with a punch, and Kurasu Rikizo All Might, whose physical strength was comparable to that of All Might and 'AFO' for a certain period of time.

Of the three, Kurasu Rikizo only had to contend with the aftershocks and therefore did not retreat an inch, while 'AFO' and All Might, who were directly facing the impact, both took a half step back.

Although 'AFO' maintained a stable stance while retreating, without revealing any significant openings, Rikizo still took advantage of his stationary position to step forward and throw punches at 'AFO'.

Unfortunately, the moment the influence of Uraraka Shige Quirk from him, 'AFO' had already begun to swell up in his right arm. Even as Rikizo rushed in front of him, he still raised his hand, palm facing Rikizo, and a fierce gust of wind burst out from his right palm again, creating a strong impact.

Kurasu Rikizo noticed the unusual swelling in 'AFO's' right arm, but 'AFO's' movement to raise its arm and launch an attack was too swift and seamless. Rikizo had only raised its arm to throw a punch when the force was not fully exerted before it was hit by the oncoming airflow. It didn't have time to exert force to stabilize its body, and it was suddenly blown away by the impact, just like All Might before, flying far away and crashing into the ruins of the building.

All Might, All Might had just thrown a punch and taken a half-step back to barely regain his balance, was also affected by the impact and staggered back several steps. At the same time, as 'AFO' regained his footing, he raised his right hand and launched an attack.

The aftershocks and reaction forces generated when the impact and the Rikizo acted on him simultaneously, instantly shattering his slightly stabilized posture and sending him flying backward as well. However, after flying only about two meters, he forcibly fixed himself in mid-air using his 'Air Walk' Quirk.

"Hehe... they're all very strong opponents, I'm really in for a tough fight..."

Although he looked much more disheveled than when he first appeared, 'AFO' still maintained a relaxed tone of 'everything is under control'.

"... However, that wasn't my right just now~ After all, I was already defeated once before, so how could I not learn from that experience... Therefore, in order to defeat the person who defeated me before, I've prepared some very useful 'Quirk'."

"... Like the previous impact, no matter how many times it's launched, I'm afraid I won't be able to kill that brat with you guys around... But if we use this 'Quirk' combination specially prepared for All Might, can you withstand it?"

"AFO" said this while in mid-air, and then suddenly activated the "Quirk" combination he mentioned.

"Springlike Limbs..."

'AFO's' entire right arm bulged up instantly and continued to expand, just like the prelude to launching the attack.

Then he suddenly paused for a moment, turned his head to look at the group of old men not far away. Among them, the old man holding a sword, Mitarai Tuotuoling, was sheathing the sword in his arms, as if he had just finished an attack.

'AFO' wasn't in a hurry to activate its 'Quirk' again, but instead smiled and said to the old man:

"Heh... Your attacks were indeed hard to defend against, and I was even caught off guard at first... However, I just received a new 'Quirk' from 'Hero' Ragdoll... so your 'Quirk' will no longer affect me..."

As he said this, 'AFO' still raised his left hand and launched an attack towards the location of the old men, before turning back to look at Uraraka Shige and the others, continuing to activate this series of 'Quirk' combinations.

"Four types of 'Quirk' based on burst power... Three types of 'Quirk' based on arm strength enhancement... Rivet... Hypertrophy..."

'AFO's' right arm rapidly changed, becoming twisted and powerful, until its diameter exceeded its waist circumference, and its length almost matched its height. The arm itself even resembled several arms intertwined and embracing each other...

This change only stopped when 'AFO' became this deformed and twisted.

"Come on, All Might, and that brat... let me punch you both to death!"

'AFO' began charging towards Uraraka Shige, abandoning its previous tactics of using impacts to restrain or attack from a distance, and instead began engaging in close combat.

I'll leave you in suspense for now regarding how the battle will unfold here, and instead turn our attention to the elders of the 'Kyoyama Society'.

These elderly men had remained together since arriving at the battlefield. Even now, as they faced the attack from 'AFO', they stayed huddled together, which made it easier for the attack to hit them. They showed no panic or anxiety, but instead remained calm and composed.

"Hmm... Has the former Dark King become so weak now?"

Uraraka Shige saw the old man with the 'Lightfall' 'Quirk' repeatedly commenting on this impact, looking down on it.

Mitarai Tuotuoling, standing to the side, was the same. Even though his previous attack had been easily ignored by 'AFO', he now remained completely calm.

"Compared to the former Dark King... it seems he was right. In that battle with All Might, although All Might was seriously injured, this 'King' also failed to gain any advantage, which is why he has become so weak now."

Their words revealed a fact: these seemingly frail members of the 'Kyoyama Society' were actually survivors of that dark and extraordinary dawn, and had lived to this day!
