Chapter 94

The battle continued, and the situation gradually became stalemate.

Uraraka Shige and the others, facing the well-coordinated and methodical attacks of numerous 'heroes,' struggled to prevent the battle from being dragged into the rhythm of these 'heroes,' and even when at a disadvantage, they still tried their best to regain control of the battle's tempo.

But without a doubt... it's difficult.

Most of the 'heroes' have undergone professional training, and with a few exceptions, they are all disciplined and work in perfect harmony.

Uraraka Shige repeatedly tried to use his 'Quirk' to influence the situation, but ultimately, due to the limited range and the 'heroes' being wary, he could only directly affect three to five people, and had little impact on the overall situation.

In the end, they could only knock out the heroes affected by their 'Quirk' and gradually reduce the fighting strength of the 'hero' side.

After taking down two more 'heroes', Uraraka Shige glanced around the scene and found that there were fewer and fewer 'heroes' still fighting them. At the same time, the police officers in the distance were all holding guns and their expressions became increasingly solemn and vigilant.

Realizing something was wrong, he quickly seized an opportunity to reunite with the others.

"This is bad... With those police officers around, we have no way to break through, and judging from their demeanor, they've probably already reached an agreement with the 'heroes'..."

What consensus?

Without a doubt, once the 'heroes' have rescued all the unconscious men and evacuated themselves, the police officers who have been waiting for so long will probably open fire immediately, right?

Even though they were using non-lethal warheads, and even though Uraraka Shige's 'Quirk' could resist long-range attacks to some extent.

However, the police force was large, numbering around fifty, and if they opened fire simultaneously, it would be difficult for Uraraka Shige to completely stop the bullets with Gravity.

"Then let's take a few 'heroes' hostage!"

The Deflagration looked rather violent...

However, what he said does make some sense.

Unfortunately, the 'heroes' clearly won't give them that chance.

While Uraraka Shige and the others gathered together, they rescued the last few unconscious 'heroes'. Then, the melee 'heroes' began to retreat, while another group of heroes with impressive ranged attack skills launched another attack to cover the other group of melee 'heroes'.

In this situation, among Uraraka Shige and the others, only Uraraka Shige and Shadow Transformation were still able to try to capture a few hostages.

However, Uraraka Shige himself still needed to keep an eye on the surviving attacker, and with his Shadow Transformation repeatedly using his 'Quirk' during the battle, he now had virtually no energy left to capture a hostage.

Logically, Uraraka Shige could have handed the survivors over to Gu Yu for safekeeping, and then tried to capture the hostages himself.

Unfortunately, the 'heroes' reacted too quickly. Before Uraraka Shige could hand over the surviving attackers to them, a barrage of attacks had already fallen on Uraraka Shige and his men.

Therefore, Uraraka Shige and the others had no choice but to deal with this wave of attacks first, and then turn their attention to other matters.

"Screen!"

It was the same technique that had saved their lives amidst flames that had turned half the sky red.

So the fireflies and flames thrown at them, the paralyzing darts that spun down, the metal projectiles that flew straight at the crowd, and some burnt, blackened things that people picked up on the spot and used as projectiles—their original form was hard to say...

They all rained down on everyone's heads at once, then fell more and more slowly in mid-air, and after a brief 'hanging', they bounced back and landed on the ruins not far from them.

None of them could break through this Gravity barrier.

This is understandable, given that the Gravity barrier created by Uraraka Shige is quite different from the Gravity barriers in traditional fantasy works.

If in other fantasy works the so-called Gravity barrier is just an ordinary shield, then the one that Uraraka Shige has condensed is essentially more like a Gravity field, continuously radiating force from the inside out.

If it were like a real 'barrier', it would probably just break or shatter.

The Uraraka Shige type is essentially more like a force field 'barrier'. Unless one can penetrate it with enough speed and enough power before the power is reduced to zero, it is impossible to break through it.

Alternatively, one could counteract the continuous diminishing effect of this 'barrier' with ever-increasing power, until finally breaking through the barrier before one's power is reduced to zero.

Otherwise, whatever it is, in the end, it will only end up like the attack of these 'heroes,' having all its power stripped away.

Certainly...

If it is not affected by force or Gravity, then that's another matter entirely.

However, at least here, none of the attacks launched by these heroes were immune to force or Gravity.

Moreover, none of these attacking objects weighed more than six tons.

Therefore, none of the attacks launched by those 'heroes' were able to break through Uraraka Shige Chong's defenses.

However, this does not mean that Uraraka Shige and the others can rest easy now.

After all, behind those 'heroes' was a large number of police officers.

Uraraka Shige might be able to defend against the 'heroes' attacks, but he would still be somewhat intimidated by guns and bullets.

After all, the kinetic energy of a bullet leaving the barrel, even if it's not a lethal bullet, is still considerable, especially considering the small size of the bullet itself.

While joules cannot be directly converted into tons, the kinetic energy of a bullet leaving the barrel is concentrated on the small projectile, and even if it is continuously lost along the way and constantly attenuated by the 'screen'.

However, the speed of the bullet could very well penetrate the 'barrier' set up by Uraraka Shige before the force of its kinetic energy dissipates completely.

And then it will be just like it was back in 'USJ'.

Even though the Gravity he manipulates can reduce the force of the bullet to some extent, thus greatly reducing the damage caused by the bullet hitting him, it is still impossible to reduce the damage to zero. In the end, when the bullet hits him, he will still be injured.

However, even knowing this, Uraraka Shige still couldn't stop the police officers from firing.

He could only try his best to manipulate Gravity, making it rotate as it condensed into a barrier, engulfing the charred fragments of the ruins to increase the 'barrier's' defensive capabilities.

The police officers on the perimeter naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch Uraraka Shige try to defend against their attack, since the paralyzing bullets they were using were actually quite weak.

But just as they saw all the 'heroes' had left Uraraka Shige and the others, and were about to fire their guns, a voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Excuse me, have you ever seen a group of people like this...?"
