In business conversations, it's common to lay the groundwork beforehand and then reveal one's true intentions at an appropriate time.

However Uraraka Shige and 'Re-Destro' were not having a business conversation at the moment, so Uraraka Shige got straight to the point.

"Purpose? Of course. I didn't come for you, Yotsubashi Rikiya, Chairman and President of Detnerat."

Uraraka Shige's voice was already hoarse, and it sounded even more muffled because of the disguise.

By deliberately lowering his voice, he sounded even more inhuman, making it sound terrifying.

Uraraka Shige continued without pausing:

"I've come for some revolutionaries, for a revolutionary army, and I'm looking for the leader of that army, 'Re-Destro.'"

Having said that, Uraraka Shige silently observed 'Re-Destro's' reaction. He wanted to know how this man would react to his words, which practically revealed his identity, so that he could determine how to achieve his goal.

Should we be more direct and forceful, or more tactful and gentle?

Yotsubashi Rikiya still maintained that sharp, successful demeanor; the curve of his smile, the size of his pupils, and even the rhythm of his breathing remained unchanged.

Uraraka Shige doubted that his heartbeat might not have accelerated at all.

"I see... Then you've probably got the wrong person."

Yotsubashi Rikiya's attitude and tone remained unchanged, still appearing very 'charitable,' immediately conjuring up images of a philanthropist.

However, Yotsubashi Rikiya was not truly a philanthropist. As he spoke, his left arm twitched slightly, causing a flash of dark light to appear in the small space.

The dark light moved so fast that it was impossible to see it with the naked eye. There wasn't even time to make a sound as it pushed the air aside, or even for airflow to form.

Bang!

The dark light descended upon Uraraka Shige, sending him flying several meters away before he crashed into the wall behind him.

He had long forgotten that 'Re-Destro' possessed such offensive capabilities, and thus was caught completely off guard.

Fortunately, he used his 'Quirk' in time to send the Eri to a safe place.

His physique had become extremely solid through years of Gravity training under gravity.

Therefore, even though he actually took the hit, Uraraka Shige only felt a little stifled at most.

It won't cause any actual damage at all.

At the same time, this blow instantly awakened some of Uraraka Shige's memories of 'Re-Destro'.

Although his memories of his previous life were still hazy, he had been fully awakened to the memories of several years ago in this life.

"Ouch... Ah~ It still hurts a little."

As she fell from the wall back to the ground, Uraraka Shige couldn't help but groan.

"Really... He acted so kindly, but then suddenly launched a sneak attack... What a two-faced old fox."

Uraraka Shige sighed, then stood up and, just before 'Re-Destro's' next attack, pulled Eri into her arms again to ensure Eri safety.

Then he said again:

"Since that's the case, then I won't beat around the bush... I've set my sights on the forces under your command, and I also covet your position as leader, so would you please obediently relinquish your position? Yotsubashi Rikiya... 'Re-Destro'."

The smile on Yotsubashi Rikiya's face gradually disappeared.

The 'Death Omen Star' before him had clearly shown his attitude, making it very clear that he came with ill intentions. Moreover, since he had just launched an attack, the 'Death Omen Star' would certainly be on guard now.

Therefore, whether it's to reduce hostility, to disguise oneself, or to create an opportunity for a sneak attack, there's no need to smile at the intruders anymore.

Of course, more importantly, the pressure he was under was simply too great; under such immense pressure, he could no longer laugh.

He needs to release some pressure.

Yotsubashi Rikiya's left arm was slightly swollen, and there were several small holes on his palm, as if they had been poked by a ballpoint pen, from which blood was now oozing.

Blood flowed down his palm to his fingers, then dripped onto the ground.

These were the injuries he sustained when he attacked Uraraka Shige, caused by the black spheres surrounding Eri. As his arm grew larger and then shrank back to its normal size, the injuries also became much smaller.

Bang!

A powerful and swift strike.

Uraraka Shige was not confident that he could stop it.

His long-term use of Gravity to increase weight and strengthen his physique has made his body density far exceed that of ordinary people, even comparable to some individuals with corresponding 'Quirk'.

But it didn't grant him power of that magnitude.

He wasn't confident that he could withstand the attack of 'Re-Destro's' instantly gigantic arm with his own physical strength alone.

The attack was so swift that it was almost impossible to detect with the naked eye, and the trajectory of the attack was difficult to discern.

Even if he summoned the black sphere and made it expand, he still couldn't completely stop 'Re-Destro's' attack before it landed on him.

More importantly, he also needs to protect the Eri.

Otherwise, he alone would not have been able to achieve his goal of reaching the 'Meta Liberation'.

It will also affect future plans.

It can be said that Eri is of paramount importance to him, at least for him at present.

Therefore, when faced with Yotsubashi Rikiya's attack, Uraraka Shige chose to grab Eri and dodge together.

Then 'Re-Destro's' instantly gigantic arm swung away, landing on the ground and smashing a huge hole in the floor.

That thud was the sound of an arm hitting the ground.

After dodging Yotsubashi Rikiya's attack, Uraraka Shige didn't give 'Re-Destro' a chance to continue attacking. Instead, under the influence of her 'Quirk', she flew backward sideways while summoning a black ball that Yotsubashi Rikiya.

'Re-Destro' withdrew his arm, and then saw the black sphere that was beginning to expand coming towards him, and the pressure on his heart increased sharply.

That's just his Quirk.

They can transform emotions such as stress, fear, and anger into their own power. As these emotions increase, their physical size will also improve, and their strength, agility, and defense will increase exponentially.

This feedback was then relayed to the Foreign Minister...

'Re-Destro' instantly grew a size larger, making his well-tailored suit bulge out, revealing the outline of his muscles beneath the clothes.

Extremely intimidating!

Then, both arms strike out simultaneously, making a sudden circle...
