Pre-Battle Explanation

Crush them!

A woman's voice rang out.

It's that faceless 'Nomu'.

The sex of this 'Nomu' is uncertain... In fact, the sex of these 'Nomu' is uncertain, since their most important sexual characteristics have been artificially removed, leaving them completely bare and flat.

Like a legendary angel?

From its shape and voice, one can barely discern what the gender of the body that was transformed into this 'Nomu' should have been when it was human.

So this is probably a female 'Nomu'.

However, gender is probably not an important thing for them.

This is not something that Uraraka Shige and others should pay attention to.

What's truly noteworthy is the relationship between these few 'Nomu' beings.

"This female 'Nomu' looks quite unique... Is she commanding the other 'Nomu's'?"

One of the 'Meta Liberation' cadres, Hanabata Koku, wiped the lower part of his nose with his index finger, sniffing the scent between his fingers, somewhat surprised by the scene that appeared before him.

His complexion appeared normal, and he seemed very calm, but a hint of fear still flashed in his eyes, proving that he wasn't truly as fearless as he appeared.

"No... compared to that, what should be of concern is that this 'Nomu' might possess self-awareness and the ability to think independently."

To state something that should be a question using the tone of an affirmative sentence...

This was said by a guy named Chikazoku Tomoyasu from the 'Meta Liberation' group, who is the one who controls a large number of robots through computers.

He was carrying a laptop bag, the kind of equipment he used in battle, and the expression on his face...

Sorry, his bangs were too long to see his expression, so it was impossible to tell whether he was truly indifferent or, like Hanabata Koku, was forcibly suppressing his fear.

In short, those few 'Nomu' neither cared about such details nor did they. After receiving the order, they charged forward with loud cries and, without any further command, very tacitly sought out their respective opponents.

The 'Nomu' that broke through the wall targeted the nearest Killer Cancer. It clenched its iron fists and unleashed a flurry of punches at Killer Cancer, forcing Killer Cancer to jump around like a monkey.

The Nomu that burst out from underground, along with five other Nomu —one that descended from the sky, one that came riding the wind, one that emerged from the wall, and one that was only visible in everyone's retinas—charged towards the group formed by Uraraka Shige and the others.

As for the 'Nomu' that appeared directly inside one of the 'Meta Liberation' members, it was stopped by Yukio alone.

Although the temperature he could manipulate wasn't low enough, the temperature of ice and snow inside was enough to stiffen the body of the 'Nomu' that could transform into blood, greatly reducing its strength.

Although Yukio had a significant advantage against this 'Nomu', he didn't have a way to completely defeat Nomu.

Thus, Chikazoku Tomoyasu, perhaps the only female among the 'Meta Liberation' executives, naturally took over Yukio's position, just like when she dealt with Toga in the original work, turning all the blood in one of her subordinates into explosives.

The subordinate, his face contorted with fervor, relentlessly approached the 'Nomu' capable of turning into blood. When they were less than three meters apart, sure enough, the 'Nomu' instantly transformed into a stream of icy blood, which seeped into the body of the 'Meta Liberation' member.

Then a series of subtle explosions rang out inside the 'Meta Liberation' member's body, and a wisp of crimson mist emanated from the 'Meta Liberation' member's mouth and nose, rising into the air and disappearing without a trace.

The 'Nomu' seemed to have been dealt with, but the 'Meta Liberation' member had also lost consciousness.

But clearly, no one cares about this poor fellow... not even Chikazoku Tomoyasu.

There are plenty of people like that among those with Meta Liberation; why would anyone care if they had as many as they wanted?

The several 'Nomu' charged forward at great speed, and were divided into first, second, and third classes based on their 'Quirk' and physical constitutions.

The one that charged the fastest among them was undoubtedly the 'Nomu' that only existed in everyone's sight.

Following them were the 'Nomu' that fell from the sky, the 'Nomu' that moved with the wind, and the 'Nomu' that Explosion from the ground.

Among them, the 'Nomu' that descended from the sky charged towards the group like a missile, spewing wind from its limbs, while the 'Nomu' that could blend into the wind followed closely in the strong wind it spewed.

The 'Nomu' that sprang from the ground wasn't actually that fast; it was just running thanks to its powerful physique. The reason it was included in the second group was simply because the last one was like a pig...

In short, the 'Nomu' creature, lacking limbs and abnormally obese, could only incline its body little by little. Then, as if it had been reduced to a lower dimension, it gradually disappeared without a trace, appearing extremely strained, with veins bulging on its forehead and face, yet still only able to wriggle a distance of no more than two centimeters at a time.

In reality, on the back of one of the "Meta Liberation" members, an outline slowly emerges, like the wall before, like a ghost in a supernatural story. Once it fully emerges, the person carrying it will be broken out of their body and have their spine snapped.

However, no one noticed this terrifying scene at the moment, because everyone's vision was completely dominated and occupied by that dazzling figure that could only exist in their field of vision.

Unaware that the figure only existed on their retinas, they assumed that a 'Nomu' had actually rushed in front of them and immediately assumed defensive and alert postures.

This 'Nomu' is so real that it doesn't seem fake at all. It does actually exist, but because of its 'Quirk,' it doesn't have a physical form and can only exist in the field of vision of creatures with sight by influencing light.

But that's all.

Since it has no physical form, it can only affect the retina of living beings, but cannot have the ability to interfere with the real world.

At most, it can cause the creature that sees it to become blind through strong light stimulation... but because the intensity of light is limited, even if it becomes blind, it is only a temporary state.

But this doesn't mean that this 'Nomu' has weak abilities.

Because it might not be able to do much in a one-on-one situation, but as long as there's an assistant...

It possesses the power to seize the initiative and catch the enemy off guard.
