The wind is always fast.

The speed of the impact-like wind is naturally much greater than that of ordinary wind.

Without a doubt, the wind generated by AFO's Quirk techniques, which combine various Quirk, and is created by Air Cannon out of his arms, is naturally like an impact wind.

Therefore, the speed of this wind, which is like an impact, is naturally not slow and leisurely.

So, as soon as the words of the two elders of the Kyoyama Society, Shinonome Mitsuse, who possessed the 'Lightfall' 'Quirk', and Mitarai Tuotuoling, who possessed the 'Soul Transference' 'gratitude' 'Soul Lodging', fell to the ground, the impact was already upon them, almost right under their noses.

The group of elderly people remained unhurried and relaxed, as if they had no idea that if the impact were to engulf them, their 'old bones' would likely have little chance of survival.

Or perhaps they know this, but after all, they are quite old, with far more experience and wisdom than young people. They have a more relaxed attitude towards many things, even their own life and death, and have long since developed a spirit and a strong heart that remain unmoved even when Mount Tai collapses before them.

But this is ultimately just an 'apparent' or 'or'...

The truth is that just as the impact was about to hit them, at the very edge of the group of elders, there was an old woman who looked the oldest among them, leaning on a cane and trembling even when she was just standing there, not walking.

Squinting her already dim eyes, she laboriously raised her arm that wasn't on her cane, as if her children were ahead of her, who had gone before her. Slowly and tremblingly, she reached out her hand, as if to grab the outstretched arms of her nonexistent children and go with them to a place of happiness.

As the impact advanced even slightly, the force of the wind it generated caused the hair of these elders to fly wildly and wildly.

The tip of the longest finger in the old woman's deep hand also passed through the prelude of the strong wind and was positioned to meet the impact that would arrive in the next millisecond.

Then...

The impact made direct contact between the old woman's fingers and the object.

Then...

The raging waves turned into a drizzle, and the downpour into a spring breeze, which gently caressed the faces and hair of the elderly people present.

Just like the way children whine when they are young, the way they are obedient when they are older, and the way they are attached when they are old... it is warm and gentle, leading all those who have felt it back to that pure land in their hearts.

The impact subsided.

The old woman sighed, her heart heavy with unspoken emotions—a mixture of reluctance to part, and the sweet bitterness of longing.

Her 'Quirk' resonates with her 'family'.

And her 'family' will not harm her or her rest of her family.

Even though she knew that those in front of her were not her real 'family,' and that what she was touching was nothing more than something else.

But as long as Protection the people she considers family, that brings her comfort and satisfaction.

Despite still harboring some greed, realizing that those before her were not her true 'family,' and thus feeling reluctant to part with them, and recalling the sweet and sorrowful joys and sorrows she had shared with her true 'family'...

Those who didn't know her well often assumed her "Quirk" was one of "Protection," but she failed to Protection her family during that dark period...

... AFO was naturally aware that the group of elders had withstood his attack.

However, he didn't examine the location of the old men more closely, nor did he launch another attack on them...

Or rather, he didn't actually have a chance to extricate himself from dealing with those elderly men who might cause him a great deal of trouble?

As he raised his arm, which was twisted, ugly, yet powerful from the combination of many 'Quirk', and charged towards Uraraka Shige, he unleashed his killing intent with all his might without restraint.

Perhaps Uraraka Shige, frozen in place by this murderous intent, unearthed some kind of potential amidst the life-or-death situation?

At the critical moment, he finally broke free from the shock and intimidation brought by 'AFO's' killing intent, and activated his 'Quirk' with all his might, causing himself to 'fall' horizontally behind him in an instant.

Then, after escaping the range of 'AFO', he activated his 'Quirk' again to control his flying body.

Soon after 'AFO' missed its target, the power that had nowhere to go was released into the surrounding air, creating a strong gust of wind that sent Uraraka Shige, who had barely avoided the attack, flying far away. He tumbled through the air countless times before finally managing to land 'safely' thanks to his 'Quirk'.

After 'AFO' missed its first attack, it unleashed a violent gust of wind almost as powerful as its previous strike. The movement of raising the arm again was somewhat sluggish, as the size of the arm had been greatly increased by the various 'Quirk,' thus losing some of its agility.

All Might, who had only taken a few steps back, seized the opportunity and stepped forward, delivering a heavy punch to 'AFO'.

'AFO' had only raised its arm halfway when it was forced to change course midway in the face of All Might's powerful punch. It used its twisting force to deliver a sweeping punch from bottom to top, deflecting All Might's punch. The impact caused the shockwave to shatter the ground and send up another cloud of dust.

Immediately following the aftershocks of the battle, a hurricane roared up from the ground, dispersing the dust and carrying debris that had been kicked up from the ground in all directions.

The force of this blow was absolutely tremendous. All Might's heavy punch had barely reached the target when he was swept away by the blow and sent flying backward, coughing up blood in mid-air.

Clearly, if this arm were to swing and hit, even a casual strike would be far more powerful than any of the previous impacts.

'AFO' stumbled, stopped, and continued charging towards Uraraka Shige's position.

Clearly, for 'AFO' at present, the 'hatred' that Uraraka Shige All Might him, who once defeated him...

Of course, it could also be because Uraraka Shige's strength is still much weaker than All Might's, and as the saying goes, pick on the weak.

Just then, All Might, who had been Rikizo flying backward, suddenly imitated All Might, leaping high into the air from the ruins where he had fallen...
