Boom.

A burst of flame suddenly erupted from the match that had been ejected by the 'Deflagration Combustion', forcing back several 'heroes' who rushed forward.

'Heavy Water' held his hand loosely in front of his mouth, and the flames subsided the instant he did so.

"Puff!"

A large number of crystalline droplets, under the influence of its 'Quirk', splashed towards the group of 'heroes' like flying needles and silver pellets, catching them completely off guard.

Several 'heroes' were immediately knocked down and fell backward, seeing stars and unable to get up.

However, many more 'heroes' were caught off guard but still managed to react in time, either by taking evasive action or by barely managing to use their 'Quirk' to dodge and neutralize the attack.

Of course, there were one or two who failed to completely dodge or completely negate the Heavy Water's attack.

So they joined the group of fallen 'heroes'.

The other 'heroes' didn't fare any better.

As Gu Yu launched his attack on Heavy Water, he also began picking up rubble and other objects from the surrounding area and throwing them at the returning 'heroes'.

His 'Quirk' is not strong, and it is not outstanding in any aspect, even inferior to some alien-type 'Quirk'.

Thanks to this 'Quirk,' his physique was undoubtedly much Robustness than that of many others.

This is why the pebbles he throws can cause cuts and lacerations before they even hit a person.

If a person with a weak physique is hit, they may suffer broken bones or fractures.

Even though these 'heroes' who surrounded them had maintained a high level of physical fitness, and their physique was by no means a weakness, they were still utterly humiliated by the stones thrown by Gu Yu.

Unfortunately, that's all there is to it.

The 'heroes' were all banded together, so he couldn't just rush up and fight them in close combat. Otherwise, he would easily be overwhelmed by the "everyone's on your side! Don't talk to me about chivalry!" mentality and suffer a miserable defeat despite being outnumbered.

As for Shadow Transformation, while his Quirk is strong, it consumes too much of his stamina. He had already activated it twice when facing the attackers, and then activated it again when facing the fire caused by the Deflagration, protected by Uraraka Shige's Quirk. He hasn't rested well yet and can't even activate his Quirk, so he has no combat ability at all.

Even though he tried to imitate Gu Yu by throwing stones at people, he didn't have Gu Yu's strength. When he hit people, it didn't hurt at all. His only contribution was to make it impossible for the group of 'heroes' to tell which stones were thrown by Gu Yu and which were thrown by him. As a result, they all had to dodge, which wasted a lot of their energy and strength.

Overall, for the time being, the situation seemed to be tilting in favor of Uraraka Shige and his group.

But in reality...

Leaving aside the police officers with their sidearms in the back, the heroes who had been Deflagration 'Quirk' also pressed forward again. Chong Heavy Water was already thirsty and no longer had the imposing manner of a 'troll'.

The Deflagration, along with Gu Yu and Shadow Transformation, continued to throw matches and pebbles, but their supply dwindled until they ran out of supplies, forcing them to engage in close combat with these 'heroes' sooner or later.

In fact, this event, which was bound to happen sooner or later, came much earlier than Uraraka Shige and the others had imagined.

"Moo!"

A 'hero' with a bull's head, easily mistaken for someone from Thunder Bluff, suddenly roared to the sky, his voice like that of a mad bull or a wild beast, and his fur grew wildly, making him appear even thicker.

Then this 'hero', whose eyes suddenly turned red, lowered his head and charged headlong at Uraraka Shige and the others with his two horns on his head, completely ignoring the matchsticks and stones thrown by Deflagration and the others. In fact, after being attacked, his momentum became even stronger.

Certainly...

Because this 'hero' kept charging forward without making any turning or changing direction, Uraraka Shige and the others only needed to pause their attack slightly and sidestep to avoid the 'hero's' attack.

However, this 'hero's' actions were not intended to attack Uraraka Shige and the others, but rather to disrupt their attack rhythm.

In terms of the results, his actions were undoubtedly effective.

As Uraraka Shige and the others slowed their attack to avoid his momentum as he continued to charge forward, the surrounding 'heroes' seized the opportunity.

The ranged heroes launched attacks one by one against Uraraka Shige and the others, providing cover for the melee heroes.

Meanwhile, the 'heroes' who lacked ranged attack capabilities or were better suited for close combat, and were being covered by these ranged 'heroes,' rushed to positions advantageous for launching their attacks.

Uraraka Shige had long since stopped using the energy he previously devoted to creating and maintaining the distorted Gravity space through 'Quirk'.

Therefore, the distorted Gravity field that had originally hindered many melee 'heroes' has returned to its most natural state through natural regeneration.

Those 'heroes' who had previously collapsed and struggled, only able to wait for themselves to recover, all got up one by one and launched a merciless attack on Uraraka Shige and the others.

One of the heroes, who appeared to have some kind of physical enhancement 'Quirk', swung his fist directly at Uraraka Shige and the others.

Then Gu Yu instantly met the attack head-on, receiving the 'hero's' attack and finding himself a worthy opponent.

Deflagration pulled out his 'all-purpose' lighter, lit a small flame, and then hurled it at the ruins beneath their feet. The moment the lighter hit the ground, he activated his 'Quirk,' and a large fireball engulfed several of the fastest-charging 'heroes.'

Then, in the blink of an eye, the fireball that had risen from the ground was extinguished by a sudden turbulence of air as a 'hero' pressed his hands together.

Immediately afterwards, this 'hero' was targeted by Heavy Water, which sprayed him so hard that he collapsed to the ground, completely bewildered.

But Heavy Water's outstanding 'spraying' attack quickly attracted the attention of a 'hero', and in the blink of an eye, a thin, hair-like black light flashed by.

The attacking Heavy Water only saw a blur before his eyes, and suddenly a slender, tall figure dressed in a black bodysuit appeared in front of him... a 'hero', who was stopped by another dark figure that also appeared in front of him in Shadow Transformation.
