This Is One Giant Leap for XX...

'Nomu', also known as Old Wu by some.

It is a cyborg... or rather, a monster, that has undergone physical modification and been given a 'Quirk'.

Some of them have been specially tuned and can even, to a certain extent, directly confront All Might when he is not at his peak.

But clearly, this isn't one of those special models of 'Nomu', or even a super 'Nomu'.

The few here are just slightly better than 'defective products', 'low-grade products', belonging to the most basic and ordinary goods.

Are you trying to hurt me?

Sakinagi Shushin's understanding of 'Nomu' was clearly insufficient; when he questioned them, none of the 'Nomu' reacted at all.

They simply continued charging forward, attempting to attack them.

"Tsk!"

Sakinagi Shushin clicked her tongue and retreated to the back.

"These things have absolutely no thoughts in their heads, my 'Quirk' is of no use to them at all... It's up to you now."

Dabi stood still, not making a rash attack, but observing silently, though his attitude inexplicably gave off a somewhat arrogant feeling.

He seemed to disdain to fight alongside these few 'Nomu' creatures.

Uraraka Shige, her right palm aimed at the several 'Nomu' charging at her.

"Hit!"

The Gravity six tons surged forth, blasting away all the Nomu that had rushed into the range of Uraraka Shige's "Quirk".

Without the slightest hesitation, Stain and Gu Yu, as if they had foreseen this scene, charged directly at the 'Nomu'.

Spinner was a beat slow to react, but when he saw Stain rush out, even though he was still a little confused, his body obediently pulled him along, still looking bewildered.

The way he looked, without even having a chance to draw his weapon, seemed rather comical.

Uraraka Shige naturally didn't stay in one place, but followed closely behind the three figures that rushed out, chasing after them at low altitude.

Dabi looked at the several 'Nomu' that had been flying back halfway through their charge, as well as the four members of Uraraka Shige who were rushing over after them. His lips, which looked like two pieces of skin pieced together—one intact and one burned—turned down slightly, and he had an indescribable look of disgust.

"This hastily made junk is really useless; it's completely worthless."

Dabi said this, then looked down at the 'Nomu' lying on the ground trying to get up, and gave the order:

"Help me."

Without caring about the state of these 'Nomu' creatures or whether they would be harmed, he raised his hand and unleashed a large amount of ghostly blue flames.

Flames swept over the 'Nomu', which had not yet fully risen, and flew towards Uraraka Shige and the others who were rushing towards them.

Seeing Uraraka Shige increased her flight speed, then suddenly stopped after overtaking Stain and the others, and raised her right hand once again.

"Screen!"

A large amount of air, affected by Gravity, was gathered Compress together, forming a barrier of air in front of Uraraka Shige and the others.

The surging, dark blue flames collided with the barrier and began to scatter to both sides, but they also caused considerable damage to the air barrier.

At this moment, a 'Nomu' roared and climbed up. Passing through the eerie blue flames above it, it became extremely violent and swift, growing so tall that it even exceeded the walls on both sides of the alley, causing wisps of embers to rise directly from the top of the walls.

This scene looked very familiar to Uraraka Shige and Gu Yu.

"Deflagration?"

The ability to amplify a flame that wasn't originally very large to this extent immediately reminded Uraraka Shige and Gu Yu of Bao Ran, who had already split Deflagration with them.

Although they hadn't been in contact with the Deflagration Heavy Water before, they never had any bad premonitions or worried about their safety.

But now, when Uraraka Shige saw the flames that had suddenly been magnified several times, he felt a sudden unease.

But this unease did not last long.

The eerie blue flames, which had transformed into a torrent, instantly incinerated the air barrier that had formed. Then, like a dragon's breath, they swallowed up Uraraka Shige and the others, just like those 'Nomu' creatures.

Just as the torrent of dark blue flames completely engulfed Uraraka Shige and the others, and they were about to rush out of the alley, a voice rang out, mixed with violent coughing.

"Harm... cough cough... mistake... cough cough cough..."

The instant the sound rang out, the torrent of flames that had engulfed Uraraka Shige and the others burst out of the alley, the fierce tongues of fire licking at everything around them, even a passerby who was stunned by the sudden turn of events.

Then, just before the flames were about to touch the innocent 'passerby', the previously rampaging, eerie blue flames suddenly vanished, as if everything before had been nothing but an illusion.

Meanwhile, Uraraka Shige and the others, who had been swallowed up in the alley, reappeared as the flames suddenly disappeared.

... It was Sakinagi Shushin's 'Quirk' that came into play.

Although Sakinagi Shushin had previously stated that since the 'Nomu' does not possess thought, his 'Quirk' is completely ineffective against Nomu.

However, although the flames were enhanced by the 'Nomu', they were not actually released by the 'Nomu'.

The 'Nomu' at most served as an enhancement, although the degree of enhancement was somewhat... too significant. However, the extra flames that were enhanced still originated from the flames released by Dabi.

Therefore, the attack that Sakinagi Shushin suffered was ultimately caused by Dabi.

This resulted in Dabi, who released these flames, being instantly affected by Sakinagi Shushin's 'Quirk', and the flames stopped and extinguished the very next second after being affected.

Without the flames, the 'Nomu' whose main body was suspected of Deflagration, no matter how much it was enhanced through its 'Quirk', could not ultimately create something that did not exist; it could not create something from nothing.

Moreover, after Dabi dispelled the flames, the few 'Nomu' also broke free from the flames, intending to continue following Dabi's previous orders and launch another attack on Uraraka Shige and the others.

Having become even more ' Filial Piety, Fraternal Duty, Loyalty, and Faithfulness 'Nomu, Dabi once again gave orders to the' Nomu's in order to stop the fighting and killing, thus halting their actions.

Thus, it can be said that Uraraka Shige and the others successfully captured Dabi alive.

Furthermore, given Dabi's current state, it shouldn't be difficult to extract more detailed information about the remnants of 'AFO' from him, provided that language is used judiciously.

It can be said that Uraraka Shige and others have taken a crucial step forward in their search for the remaining forces of 'AFO'.

But having taken this step, none of them noticed.

Not far behind them, the 'passerby' who had almost been licked by the flames was secretly peeking out of the alleyway and silently watching them.
