Nomu! AFO!

In fact, the resurrected 'AFO' was Nomu,' openly looking down at them.

However, since they were unaware that the radiant 'Nomu' did not possess a physical form, no one considered this possibility.

At this moment, after being pointed out by the Killer Cancer, Uraraka Shige suddenly remembered this point and naturally realized the matter, thus finding the target they were looking for on this trip.

Unfortunately, due to the presence of that Radiant 'Nomu', they were unable to clearly see 'AFO's' current situation.

There was absolutely no way to determine whether it was 'AFO' there; one could only rely on the Killer Cancer's instinct to judge and believe his one-sided account.

However, in reality, this isn't really a big deal, at least that's what Uraraka Shige thinks.

He casually swung the wooden sword, and the invisible blade extending from it sliced across the location of the radiant 'Nomu,' causing the air and even the light there to distort for a moment.

But it was all for naught...

Aside from the obvious changes visible to the naked eye, Uraraka Shige's Gravity Slash did not achieve any significant results.

"Haven't we arrived yet?"

Uraraka Shige paid no attention to the results of his attack; instead, he was preoccupied with the group of heroes who should have followed the clues he left behind to arrive at this place.

He was wondering whether All Might would come here.

If it were just All Might alone, he naturally wouldn't have this worry, but if other heroes came along... no, it's very likely that if other heroes were there, they wouldn't give All Might any time to escape and get here; they would simply stop him.

"If it really doesn't work... let's wait another half hour. In the meantime, do everything you can to stall for time. If they still don't come..."

The wooden sword in his hand never stopped swinging, the invisible blade slicing across the radiant 'Nomu' time and time again, but as before, it still achieved no results.

This was a rather tedious activity, but it didn't bore him. Or rather, it was just something he did casually, and he didn't devote much of his energy to it.

However, he didn't feel bored, but some people did.

Eek~

A strange wave radiated outwards from the location of the Radiant 'Nomu'.

This fluctuation was caused by a change in one's mental 'Quirk', but none of those affected by it noticed anything unusual.

As the ripples swept across the room, a single sentence inexplicably surfaced in the minds of everyone present.

"Stop your weak and useless attacks, and stop wasting precious time."

These words were silent, but Uraraka Shige was able to immediately recognize that they came from the 'AFO' they were looking for.

This was because these silent words, which resonated in everyone's hearts, gave Uraraka Shige the same feeling he had when he heard the words and voice from 'AFO' during the Battle of Kamino.

It was an aura, and a sense of oppression that came with the words that went straight to the heart.

In the past, this kind of imposing presence and oppressive feeling brought Uraraka Shige a strong sense of fear and threat.

For Uraraka Shige now, this only made him let his thoughts wander a little, recalling certain things from the past.

"I've come to assassinate you again, 'AFO'."

As Uraraka Shige reminisced about the past, the Killer Cancer, not far away, dusted himself off and then calmly greeted 'AFO'.

There was a sudden silence on 'AFO's end, before they finally spoke after a long while.

"I can't believe you've come to assassinate me again so soon after your resurrection... You must have hired these guys too."

'AFO' remained hidden inside that radiant 'Nomu', making it impossible for anyone to see his appearance or state at this moment.

This has always been his consistent tactic.

The "consistent" approach here does not refer to his methods and behaviors of concealing his true state.

Rather, it refers to how he conceals his true state, making it impossible for others to ascertain his true nature and condition, thereby causing his enemies to feel Burden, pressured, and experience various negative emotions.

Before the battle even begins, they start to psychologically interfere with and influence the enemy in various ways, thereby increasing their chances of winning and influencing the outcome of the battle.

This is the method of a dictator who even tries to control the psychological activities of his opponents...

This even includes combat strategies or perverse pleasures that involve psychologically damaging and tormenting the enemy.

Whether facing the strong or the weak, he always enjoys manipulating and controlling others through these methods.

It's no exaggeration to say that this has always been his method.

Unfortunately, his move was somewhat ineffective against Uraraka Shige and the other members of 'Meta Liberation' currently on the field.

At least Uraraka Shige ignored his thoughts and plans, continuing to ponder while casually waving his wooden sword.

The invisible blade of Gravity continued to slash back and forth across the radiant 'Nomu's' body in the air, but still failed to achieve any results.

Inside the unseen Radiant 'Nomu', a small jar, seemingly containing formaldehyde and some human organs, swiftly darted and dodged the invisible blade upon sensing the approaching Gravity strike, always staying more than a foot away.

But he was already tired of this constant, relentless, and exhausting struggle to dodge.

Then, an invisible mental fluctuation swept across the entire venue once again.

This time, it's no longer just about stopping Uraraka Shige's actions; it's about calling for something.

"Come out, there's no need to hide anymore."

As the mental fluctuations swept across, an arm suddenly burst out from the ground in the hospital ruins, Uraraka Shige had previously investigated with Gravity using his 'Quirk' and which showed no signs of life.

The arm was bluish-gray, and the fingernails were completely bare.

Immediately afterward, the spot where the arm had broken through the ground bulged upward again, and then with a bang, a 'Nomu' with a deathly pale gray body sprang out from the ground.

Once again, sand and gravel collapsed, and mud splashed everywhere.

The 'AFO' in the sky seemed a little unhappy upon seeing this, but it didn't say anything more.

Instead, right next to this body, through the hole left by the body that had just emerged, another short, somewhat fat figure wearing glasses suddenly crawled out.

The figure that emerged was panting heavily, clinging tightly to the body, with a slightly smug look on its face.

"This is the perfect body I finally achieved after a long and arduous process!"

Without a doubt, this short, stout man is none other than 'AFO's' right-hand man in the original work—the guy known as the Doctor.
