Rikizo leaped into the air, slamming his arms back to create an impact, hoping the reaction force would propel him toward 'AFO'.

However, he had never done such a thing before. Completely inexperienced, although he swung his arms backward, it did not cause any impact or reaction force. Instead, it made him unstable and he could not even control his original falling trajectory. In the end, he fell to a position not far from 'AFO'.

In this way, no one could stop or delay 'AFO's' path as it rushed toward Uraraka Shige. With the help of its ' Air Walk Quirk, 'AFO' was still very fast even with a huge arm, and it arrived in front of Uraraka Shige in the blink of an eye.

Then, the massive arm, seemingly slow but actually swift, was lifted backward by 'AFO' and slammed down hard on Uraraka Shige from above, filled with murderous intent.

As the fist landed, it compressed the surrounding air. Even when Uraraka Shige still some distance away, he felt a gust of wind rush towards him. However, it was too late to dodge. Even if he managed to turn to the side, he would still be grazed by the punch.

After all, the fist on 'AFO's' arm was really huge... It wasn't just the size of a sand bowl; it was almost as big as some smaller water tanks or buckets! Let alone grazing it, even if you avoided the fist, just being hit by the blast of air would be enough to blow Uraraka Shige away and make him feel uncomfortable for a while. If he were actually grazed, Uraraka Shige would probably at least suffer serious injuries.

It's even possible that the situation from my childhood will repeat itself, and I'll lose an arm, break a few ribs, or even suffer severe internal injuries if the area grazed is too large, leaving me on the verge of death with no strength left to resist or evade.

If you get hit directly, you're guaranteed to die instantly.

Uraraka Shige at the fist getting closer and closer to her, her eyes widening slightly. This was an extremely dangerous moment, a close call.

But it was at this critical moment that Uraraka Shige, while pulling away and retreating rapidly, shouted out loud.

"Screen!"

A large amount of Gravity was gathered from in front of Uraraka Shige, forming an invisible barrier, and the direction of Gravity was also adjusted by her 'Quirk' to spread outwards to both sides.

As a result, the giant arm that 'AFO' was slamming down on Uraraka Shige suddenly slowed down a little, as it felt a force pulling it backward from the front.

Uraraka Shige was in the same situation, and using the force of Gravity that pulled him backward, he instantly left the core attack range of the giant arm of 'AFO'.

The technique of 'screen' is not yet fully perfected by Uraraka Shige, and the Gravity that Uraraka Shige can currently manipulate is only 'six tons (the Gravity that a six-ton object can withstand)'. Even if he used all the Gravity he could manipulate to resist, it would probably not be enough to withstand the punch that 'AFO' threw down.

Therefore, the Gravity barriers formed by the Gravity being divided into two parts and condensing in different directions were naturally unable to withstand this attack from 'AFO'.

However, all Uraraka Shige needs to do is slightly slow down the speed of 'AFO's' punch and at the same time speed up his own dodge, and that will be enough.

This Gravity barrier also does this perfectly.

And then, in the next moment...

The giant fist slammed down onto the ground with a deafening roar. Within a radius of several meters around the point of impact, the ground instantly cracked and dropped a layer, turning into a large, bowl-shaped crater.

The rubble and dust kicked up from the ground, barely airborne and showing no sign of falling, were blown away in all directions by the force of the punch.

Uraraka Shige, who was closest to the giant arm, was naturally the first to suffer. Gravel and dust were carried by the force of the punch and slammed into him, as if someone was shooting pebbles at him with a slingshot at an extremely high frequency. The dense gravel and dust were like a continuous rain, hitting him one after another, making his whole body ache. He was afraid that when he got back, his body would be covered with bruises.

However, the pebbles and dust didn't keep hitting him, because soon, the force of the giant arm's punch hit him directly, causing him to involuntarily close his eyes, and then he was swept up in it and thrown away.

After flying about five meters, Uraraka Shige finally felt the force of the punch dissipate and activated his 'Quirk' to stop himself in mid-air.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he found that 'AFO' had taken advantage of the situation and caught up to him again, closing in about a meter away. It had raised its now twisted and enormous arm and was about to strike him once more.

However, three to five seconds had already passed in this back and forth. In those three to five seconds, it was enough for Rikura, who had landed not far away, to Rikizo him and help him block the punch that 'AFO' was about to deliver.

Then, in the next moment, 'AFO's' enormous right fist collided head-on with Rikizo's two fists. The force of their three fists clashed and spread outwards, creating another strong wind. The aftershocks of the battle swept in Stain and the others who had rushed over. On the contrary, Uraraka Shige was much better off than Stain and the others because Rikizo had blocked most of the scattered impact in front of him.

However, this only lasted for this moment.

Because in the next instant, the Rikizo of the punch that 'AFO' used to counter it was suddenly shot out, hitting Uraraka Shige sending him flying backwards into the ruins of a building more than ten meters away.

Some of the relatively intact building ruins collapsed the moment they fell in, burying them under the rubble.

Besides 'AFO', the Rikizo Uraraka Shige. At the moment Rikizo and 'AFO' clashed, Rikuzo heard an extremely ominous sound and noticed that Rikizo's muscles swelled several times in size the instant the three fists came together, causing Rikizo, to grow even taller, breaking the three-meter mark.

The expansion of the muscles was clearly because the power that Rikizo had output at that time was insufficient to directly confront the power of 'AFO''s punch. Therefore, he further Compress the duration of the punch, in order to gain a multiplied increase in the power and endurance that could be exerted.

If that's the case, then there shouldn't be any extremely ominous sounds coming from Rikizo's body—sounds as if muscles were being subjected to forces far exceeding their limits, causing them to swell to the point of breaking; sounds as if bones were being Heavy Strike and cracking; sounds as if muscles were swelling too much, causing them to squeeze against each other and ultimately compressing some organs that shouldn't be being squeezed.

"Hiss~~~"

Just as Uraraka Shige was anxiously thinking about these points, a heavy panting sound, reminiscent of the exhaust venting of pneumatic valves in the core area of the 'Discipline Prison', rang out in front of Uraraka Shige Rikizo.

"I've exceeded... my limit... I still have three punches left... I will prove myself... I will definitely... beat 'that person' to death... to avenge myself!"
