To Shoot the Rider, First Shoot His Horse...

"Please stop these pointless probing and attacks."

Surrounded by a group of knocked-down 'Meta Liberation' members, Uraraka Shige, the only one standing, stood out conspicuously.

"Although we may not have much to offer, we are genuinely seeking your help."

Uraraka Shige's voice wasn't beautiful or pleasant; instead, it sounded like her throat had suffered some kind of injury when she was very young, as it was slightly hoarse.

But these words still reached 'Re-Destro's' ears amidst the chaos of the battle.

Before 'Re-Destro' could react, Uraraka Shige began speaking while maintaining her 'Quirk' as she walked towards him.

"We hope to obtain information from you about the 'remnants of AFO'... and since you already possess such immense power, I think you may also be looking for a suitable time and way to announce your existence to the world..."

"... Isn't now a perfect time to extinguish the seeds left behind by 'AFO'?"

Uraraka Shige's eyes were very serious, and his attitude when speaking was very sincere.

But this did not sway 'Re-Destro', nor the few 'Meta Liberation' cadres standing beside him.

"But we don't need to cooperate with you, and you haven't proven whether you're qualified to cooperate with us."

'Re-Destro' seemed arrogant, slowly raising his eyebrows and glancing down at Uraraka Shige before saying:

"Moreover, the social attention you've received recently is no less than what 'AFO's' former henchmen caused. If we can eliminate you here, it will also be a very suitable stage for us to announce our return."

The true meaning behind the words of this current leader of the "Meta Liberation" group, as well as the malice contained in his words, is already quite obvious.

Uraraka Shige.

Because it's now quite clear that this force called 'Meta Liberation' harbored great malice towards them even before they came knocking on their door.

They had previously planned to seize the reputation of the 'Wandering Protectors' by destroying their own faction.

They wanted to make their own group of 'Wandering Protectors' a stepping stone or even nourishment for 'Meta Liberation' forces, allowing these 'Meta Liberation' forces to grow and become even larger.

It could be said that, without their knowledge, they had already plunged headlong into the arms of these guys who actually harbored ill intentions towards them, doing something as foolish as walking into a trap.

"Oh, I see."

After a long silence, Uraraka Shige suddenly spoke as if he had just realized something.

The "Meta Liberation" members who had lost their fighting ability due to his "Quirk" four weeks ago have now barely adapted to the Gravity field and are standing up unsteadily. It seems they will soon fully recover their fighting ability.

Spinner and Gu Yu remained in the hands of the 'Meta Liberation' members, obediently serving as their prisoners.

Stain was being attacked by one 'Meta Liberation' member after another, and he looked to be in great difficulty. He already had some injuries, and the attacks he was using were becoming increasingly ruthless.

The situation on Sakinagi Shushin's side seems to be the best. More and more members of the 'Meta Liberation' are having their minds twisted by his 'Quirk', and one by one they are trying to stop the battle from continuing without harming others.

"Ha..."

Uraraka Shige breath, appearing much more relaxed.

The enemy outnumbered them and their overall combat strength was overwhelming compared to Uraraka Shige and his group, not to mention that the 'Meta Liberation' members were holding Gu Yu and Spinner hostage...

It can be said that the situation currently facing Uraraka Shige and others is overwhelmingly unfavorable to them from any perspective.

So...

"If we want to change this situation, this is probably the only way..."

The saying goes, "To catch the thief, first catch the king..." or something like that.

"... So we can't hold back anymore... The leader of the 'Meta Liberation Army'? I suppose once we capture you, everything will be fine."

Uraraka Shige at 'Re-Destro' and the group of 'Meta Liberation' executives around him, her eyes flashing and shifting. Then, her figure, surrounded by a group of ordinary 'Meta Liberation' members, suddenly took off and flew towards the group of executives.

"Lift!"

The distance wasn't long, so Uraraka Shige quickly flew to the top of 'Re-Destro' and the others.

Bang!

After flying back to above 'Re-Destro' and the others, Uraraka Shige did not pause for a moment. Relying on her 'Quirk' and her physique honed over the years, she directly delivered a tomahawk-style downward slash to the supreme leader of 'Meta Liberation'.

The leader of this hook-nosed "Meta Liberation" didn't even flinch. He slightly raised his left hand, and a dark light flashed, deflecting Uraraka Shige's attack with a bang, even sending Uraraka Shige flying.

"Tsk!"

After being knocked away, before even flying half a meter, Uraraka Shige, who forcibly stopped himself using his 'Quirk', clicked his tongue in extreme displeasure.

Judging from how this suspected leader of the 'Meta Liberation' effortlessly knocked me away, this guy is probably another type of person with a very strong physical body, similar to 'AFO' from World War II, or All Might.

In short, he's definitely a very troublesome guy.

In addition, there were several other guys around him who also seemed to be of high status...

"Tsk~"

Uraraka Shige couldn't help but click his tongue again, then turned to look in the direction of Sakinagi Shushin and Stain.

Stain fallen members of the 'Meta Liberation' faction, but his own injuries had become more numerous and severe.

On Sakinagi Shushin's side, the situation remained excellent, and some members of the 'Meta Liberation' faction, whose minds had been warped, even began to try to stop the battle between Stain and the others.

However, some ordinary members of the 'Meta Liberation' began to rush towards his current location, seemingly enraged by his attack on the hook-nosed man.

Uraraka Shige turned her head back and charged at the group of men who looked to be of high status once again.

The same target, the same axe-like downward slash, the same familiar flash of dark light—the only difference was the outcome of this attack.

Originally, he only intended to casually bounce Uraraka Shige again, just like before, to give 'Re-Destro' another chance to show off.

The instant the attack struck him, he suddenly swelled several sizes, tearing his suit and transforming into a giant.

"Chaos!"
