Reinforcements Have Arrived, Onward

The 'Meta Liberation' members at the back of the group were the first to hear the large number of footsteps. They all turned around and found a group... a bunch... no, it should be said that a huge group, no less numerous than them, appeared from behind and caught up with them.

It was the "United" forces, which had been at odds with the remnants of "AFO," that dispatched a large contingent, which finally arrived at the scene at this moment.

Among the "united" group, the person at the very front has short hair, revealing a smooth forehead. He is dressed in a neat black casual outfit, looking spirited and energetic.

This was the leader of the 'Unity,' the Yamato who had worked alongside Uraraka Shige. Even though he was in his forties or fifties, he looked more energetic than many young people.

"What's wrong? Have you encountered some problems?"

Yamato tilted his ear as if listening intently, leaning forward with his right hand held up to his ear like a single blade, as if doing so would allow him to hear more clearly.

He seemed very relaxed, almost like he was joking.

But it gave Uraraka Shige a very strong sense of incongruity.

The Yamato he remembered shouldn't be like this. Back then, Yamato would always give people a feeling of sadness and hatred without them realizing it, unlike now, when it seems as if those things have been forgotten.

But he didn't say much. At this moment, his identity was not Uraraka Shige, but 'Death Omen Star'.

However, not everyone is Death Omen Star, and not everyone can remain silent.

"What a joke?! It's just a thousand meters in the air. Give me enough time, thirty minutes. No, ten minutes! I can shoot this damn 'Nomu' down!"

It is Chikazoku Tomoyasu, a major player in the IT industry.

This statement sounds like a forced, pretentious remark made to maintain one's dignity.

But in reality, he did have a way to take down this 'Nomu' creature.

Their company doesn't only offer cloned robots; combat drones are just one insignificant part of their many products.

If hundreds or thousands of combat drones attack this 'Nomu' simultaneously, even if it possesses the ability to Super Regeneration, it would be futile Nomu, right?

Whether they can kill him or not is another matter, but the fact that he will be shot down is already predetermined.

This shows that what the guy who used his bangs to blind him was telling the truth, and that he did not resort to lies to save face.

And the fact that he has the ability to do this does not mean that he is already capable of doing it.

Putting everything else aside, the most important point is the issue of time.

According to him, it would take at least ten minutes.

However, the person they were going to attack was the former 'Emperor' of the underworld.

Even though he has experienced failure more than once, mentioning his name still sends shivers down the spines of those who know him.

Given this existence, and judging from the previous ambush by the ' Nomu's, it's clear they were already aware of their arrival.

In this situation, it wouldn't be surprising what they might encounter next, but one thing is certain: every minute they delay here increases their risk.

So at this moment, 'Re-Destro' spoke and gave the order.

"Don't waste any more time. Can you handle that 'Nomu'?"

More precisely, he also inquired about the 'Death Omen Star'.

However, a distance of over a thousand meters is indeed quite far. Although Uraraka Shige's 'Quirk' is very strong, it can be said that since awakening, he has been able to control the Gravity of almost any point within his field of vision.

However, this is actually just because the terrain is relatively complex, which will block Compress a lot of the field of vision. In fact, if we were to quantify it precisely, the direct impact range of Uraraka Shige's current 'Quirk' is probably only about 100 meters.

Of course, if we directly control Gravity to affect other natural Gravity, and then this affected Gravity affects other natural Gravity again, after three such cycles, the maximum applicable range can be increased several times, eventually reaching a range of about 600 meters.

However, at that distance, the changes caused by natural Gravity have weakened to an extremely small degree, making it difficult to have any significant effect on a person.

However, a distance of one thousand meters would be about four hundred meters longer than this maximum range.

So Uraraka Shige shook her head, rejecting the newly conceived idea of 'Re-Destro' in a voice that showed absolutely no regret.

"No, that's too far, I can't help you."

This statement is certainly incorrect.

The Gravity that a 'Quirk' can manipulate is limited, but it can use its 'Quirk' to continuously accelerate certain objects, such as Compress objects.

Finally, once the Compress object has acquired sufficiently strong kinetic potential energy, Uraraka Shige can achieve an effect of increasing its attack range by dozens of times by using Gravity- assisted aiming.

Moreover, it also possesses considerable offensive capabilities.

But he didn't want to reveal that here. He sensed something was off about Yamato's behavior, so he planned to keep something under wraps and keep a close eye on this man he had once fought alongside.

'Re-Destro' had no idea what Uraraka Shige was thinking or planning, nor did he want to know.

"In that case, I'll leave it to you."

'Re-Destro' looked at Yamato, hoping that someone from the 'United' side could take care of the 'Nomu' that was thousands of meters in the air.

Yamato readily agreed, then turned and nodded to a very tall-looking man behind him.

"It's up to you."

The tall, imposing man nodded silently, then tensed his muscles and began to gather his strength. At a certain moment, a sound like a rocket launch rang out, and at the same time, a ripple like water spread across the ground beneath his feet.

Then the tall, imposing man vanished in an instant, while the 'Nomu' that had been thousands of meters away in the sky suddenly appeared in the spot where the tall, imposing man had been standing.

Immediately afterwards, this 'Nomu' was engulfed by the dense, interdependent attacks from all around.

The tall, imposing man plummeted rapidly towards the ground, his face expressionless, eyes closed, and muscles taut, until he was less than a hundred meters from the ground.

Then...

BOOM!~

A dull thud sounded, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

The tall, imposing man stood behind Yamato, while the 'Nomu' that he had previously replaced was now one of the sources of the muffled sounds.
