Who Can't Roll a Ball These Days?

They had taken a hostage, and this hostage was the most important member of the 'Meta Liberation' —their leader.

Uraraka Shige was able to relax a little and landed next to Yotsubashi Rikiya with Eri in his arms.

Although he can fly, and has flown quite a few times and for a considerable amount of time, he still feels more at ease being grounded as a human.

It's a sense of security.

"Let's have a proper talk now."

Uraraka Shige looked at Yotsubashi Rikiya, who was lying on the ground.

Even in this predicament, the man known as 'Re-Destro' did not act as one would expect when facing a desperate situation.

Although his hair was disheveled, his limbs were broken, and his head could hardly be held high, the flame in his eyes still burned fiercely.

To paraphrase a quote from All Might pumps regarding Stain.

This man, known as 'Re-Destro,' is definitely a qualified thought criminal.

Such a person possesses a certain unwavering belief, and once they find like-minded individuals, they will inevitably become a qualified leader.

Even in his current miserable state, the group of 'Meta Liberation' members around him still recognized him and were still willing to silently follow him.

This was also the premise that Uraraka Shige was able to talk to him.

"Although I've already said it before, with so many new people arriving now, I'll just say it again."

"The purpose of my trip is to assist your new leader and help her lead you on a better path to liberation."

Uraraka Shige put Eri down from his arms, then, with Yotsubashi Rikiya as a backdrop, placed his hands on Eri's shoulders and faced the group of 'Meta Liberation' members around him.

... It's fortunate that Uraraka Shige not very tall, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to strike such a pose.

"This child possesses Quirk known as 'Rewind,' which allows him to Rewind his body to a past state... including his 'Quirk.'"

"In other words, through her 'Quirk,' we can see the original state of our own 'Quirk,' the state when our 'Quirk' first began to show its characteristics. This allows us to rediscover the true way to use our 'Quirk' and embark on the best path to awaken our 'Quirk.'"

At this point, Uraraka Shige suddenly sighed, then continued:

"This child has been exploited all along. Such an excellent 'Quirk' has only been used to develop serums and weapons, which is such a waste."

"I just happened to hear about an organization that exists to liberate a society based on 'Quirk,' and this kid's 'Quirk' is practically made for leading that organization!"

"She can lead all of you onto the path of true liberation! Only by liberating yourself first can you have the right and ability to liberate others and lead them onto the path of liberation as well."

Uraraka Shige's voice was extremely hoarse, and because of the disguise, it sounded very dull, lacking any power to move people.

... Even those a little further away couldn't hear what he was saying at all; his words were almost completely drowned out by the insults and threats from the 'Meta Liberation' members.

Only Yotsubashi Rikiya, whose limbs had been dislocated, and Eri, whose shoulders he was holding down and Eri was looking at him with bewildered eyes, were the two who heard what he was saying.

A wind gradually picked up around us, bringing a chill that seemed to come from nowhere, making us want to shiver.

Fine snowflakes began to fall from the sky, and the surrounding glass windows began to fog up. Dampness on the ground frosted over.

Outside the crowd, another group of people arrived in a noisy throng, their voices even more enthusiastic and boisterous than those surrounding them.

In another direction, a group of robots of various models, secretly controlled by someone hiding somewhere, rushed to this center to provide support.

There was also a woman, surrounded by several people, subtly protected in the middle, occupying a small space in the dense crowd, and unusually quiet compared to those around her.

"... Sigh... Is that so?"

In this environment, Uraraka Shige looked around at the surroundings and the noisy, chaotic crowd, her tone seemingly somewhat helpless.

"It seems you still don't trust me... Well then, that's settled then... I'll let you see for yourselves whether what I say is true or false."

As Uraraka Shige spoke, he manipulated Gravity to send Yotsubashi Rikiya and his limbs into the hands of the surrounding 'Meta Liberation' members, recalling all four black spheres back. Then, he had Eri hide behind him, closed his eyes, and used all the Gravity he could control to manipulate it.

Four small black balls revolved around him, and then, as he clasped his hands together, they began to circle around his fingertips, moving faster and faster until they looked as if they had become a black ring.

The rotating black ring gradually shrank, and the four small black spheres gradually came into contact and then merged with each other, forming a more dense and massive Gravity structure within the Chaotic Gravity Field under the control of Uraraka Shige.

The four small black spheres merged into one, Compress to its limit by Uraraka Shige, appearing only about one size larger than any of the previous four black spheres.

Under Uraraka Shige's deliberate manipulation, the pitch-black sphere gradually rose into the air. When it approached the top of the building, Uraraka Shige released the suppression of Gravity within it and began to fully enhance the attractive force generated by the Gravity inside the black sphere.

The air began to stir, gradually forming a whistling wind, which was drawn towards the black sphere in the sky and converged into it.

The black sphere had become a wind tunnel, devouring large amounts of the surrounding air.

The wind picked up rapidly, whipping up the surrounding snow.

The combined pull of Gravity caused the ground to begin to tremble slightly.

Cracks gradually appeared on the top of the building near the sky, and then it collapsed and broke apart. However, instead of falling to the ground, it sent all the debris and rubble flying towards the black sphere.

The powerful Gravity created a tearing force that spread outwards along the surrounding air, buildings, and everything else.

When this force reached the ground, the earth shook and cracked, and pebbles flew into the sky. People could no longer stand, and as they swayed, they tried to grab anything they could, but were eventually carried into the sky as well.

Uraraka Shige, protecting Eri, diverted some of her energy to manipulate Gravity to shield her location.

He looked up at everything happening around him, and was also quite surprised.

Although he should have expected the comparison.

Yotsubashi Rikiya, who had also flown into the sky and had his bleeding stopped by a member of the "Meta Liberation" group, looked around at everything and finally showed a look of shock in his eyes.

He would never know that in some place he might never reach, there existed a technique almost identical to this one.

That move seems to be called -- Chibaku Tensei.
