Chapter 91

As Uraraka Shige uttered these words, the surrounding 'heroes' each revealed their 'Quirk,' yet they held back, refraining from launching an attack.

The sheer force created by 'Deflagration' activating his 'Quirk' under those circumstances was truly astonishing, causing them to hesitate.

Uraraka Shige and the others found it difficult to subdue each other. If it were any other time, or even if there were some dangers that did not make them feel a sense of crisis enough, they would certainly not accept or carry out Uraraka Shige's sudden order.

However, at this moment, they were surrounded by 'heroes' and police officers from all sides. The 'heroes' had already shown their 'Quirk' and were ready to subdue them at any time, while the police officers had drawn their sidearms and were ready to provide support to the 'heroes' from behind.

This situation is clearly not normal, or one that would prevent them from even feeling a sense of crisis.

In fact, it could be said that the opposite is true. Having truly participated in the 'Battle of Kamino' and witnessed the strength of the top experts, they deeply understood just how weak they were.

Even though the flames that could have burned for hours without anyone controlling them were accelerated sixty times by the 'Quirk,' turning them into a giant fireball that enveloped the entire guesthouse. The noise and light were enough to attract the attention of people on the other side of the city.

Even 'Deflagration', who had done such a thing, deeply understood just how difficult it had been for him to accomplish it.

After all, his 'Quirk' is just a mere 'Deflagration' trait.

A flame like this, uncontrolled and burning fiercely, remains an insignificant force in a society where Quirk exists.

Strong winds can directly extinguish it. Extremely low temperatures can easily cool it. Rushing water can extinguish it as easily as flipping a palm. Even sufficiently powerful body-enhancing 'Quirk' or sufficiently powerful alien-type 'Quirk' can ignore the scorching heat of ordinary flames.

Even an ordinary person without Quirk can take preventative measures, or even prevent the flames from burning, before they even start. Or they can extinguish the flames when they are small. Without the flames, their Quirk even less effective than a rootless plant, and they will naturally be unable to activate them.

This is precisely why he always carried a source of fire with him.

His 'Quirk' is strong, but this is in the right context and is a 'strong' with preconditions.

However, this kind of 'power' is actually illusory. Without the corresponding preconditions, this kind of 'power' is nothing more than 'weakness'.

Even if he could create the necessary conditions by carrying matches or lighters, the conditions created in this way would ultimately not be sufficient.

In fact, if the attackers hadn't resorted to Molotov cocktails after failing to break through his defenses, he wouldn't have been able to demonstrate his 'power' at all.

After all, the attackers' attacks never stopped, and he simply didn't have the opportunity to create sufficient preconditions for his 'Quirk'.

It can be said that he was able to wipe out the attackers in one fell swoop entirely because the attackers knew nothing about his 'Quirk'.

Even so, his inability to control the flames left them in a sorry state. If it weren't for the Gravity barrier erected by Uraraka Shige, and if the flames hadn't only burned for half a minute, they would probably have become part of the humanoid charred remains in the ruins.

... No, it might be even worse... They'll be buried under the rubble, perhaps never to be found, their bodies never to be recovered.

Therefore, even Deflagration himself, while understanding his own strength, also deeply understood his own weakness.

Thus, Uraraka Shige and the others, who understood how weak they were, began to feel a sense of crisis even when facing the attackers, and eventually began to cooperate with each other.

At this moment, the combination of these 'heroes' and police officers clearly posed a greater threat to them than the previous group of attackers whom they had unexpectedly wiped out.

Therefore, under such circumstances, Heavy Water and the others, who were stopped by Uraraka Shige, naturally did not start arguing as before, but instead agreed with Uraraka Shige's opinion.

"These guys are really troublesome..." "I think he's right..." "Let's do it this way then."

Although they didn't shout or yell during their conversation, they also didn't lower their voices, so the few 'heroes' who were arguing with them nearby could hear what they were saying.

So these 'heroes' almost simultaneously came up with the same idea.

'Am I being ignored? Do these 'enemies' look down on me?'

They all became much more cautious.

What gives them the audacity to ignore us?

Standing on these ruins, surrounded by rows of charred human-shaped bodies that had been gathered together, they exuded a powerful deterrent effect. This deterred them from becoming angry at being ignored; instead, it only made them more calm and cautious.

But no matter how cautious or calm they were, they couldn't stay here indefinitely in a stalemate with Uraraka Shige and the others. Putting aside their duty as 'heroes,' they also didn't know much about Uraraka Shige and his group.

Do you really think Uraraka Shige and his group would willingly remain locked in a stalemate until the scales of victory completely tip in their favor?

The answer is undoubtedly no.

Therefore, after seeing the attitude of the surrounding 'heroes', Uraraka Shige and the others only held their positions for a moment before taking action.

He stretched out his right hand forward, as if grasping at something.

The heroes, of course, had no way of seeing the 'lines' representing Gravity around them. With Uraraka Shige's movement, they began to twist and intertwine with each other, eventually condensing into a ball in the space where he was holding his hand.

However, they could clearly feel that with Uraraka Shige's movements, their brains suddenly seemed to be twisted, and they experienced severe dizziness. Then, the sky and the earth seemed to melt like ice cream, spinning into a large sphere and connecting together. Their limbs also began to go out of control. Although they felt like they were exerting force as if they were standing normally, their actual exertion was completely out of control, causing them to fall to the ground. They could only watch helplessly as Uraraka Shige and the others passed by them, and they couldn't even concentrate on using their 'Quirk', which was like an instinct.
