Death, Dying, and an Entrance

'Re-Destro' does not possess a regenerative 'Quirk'.

Although the body has become much larger, the recovery speed has naturally increased as well.

However, this improvement is extremely minor, based solely on the body's natural recovery ability, and does not exceed the scope of that natural recovery ability.

On the contrary, the cells' endurance and resistance increase exponentially with physical strength, far exceeding the limits of the human body.

Therefore, 'Re-Destro' only suffered extremely serious injuries to his hands; the injuries to the rest of his body were actually less severe than those of Uraraka Shige and the others.

At least it's not fatal.

"Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh~~"

The brain was trembling, radiating or enduring deadly heat, the whole body felt like it was melting or had already begun to melt, and it was unclear whether the vocal cords still existed, but no matter how hard one tried, at most only two faint sounds like blowing bubbles could be produced.

Indescribable, ineffable, it is a language that no one else can understand.

All of this made Uraraka Shige.

'I'm going to die... But this doesn't seem to be the first time I've died, so am I going to die again?'

Is it painful?

It was a very painful process.

Before that, he could feel pain that almost made him lose consciousness completely. He wished he could tear himself apart, shave off his flesh, let his blood drain away, remove all his organs, and even squeeze out all the air from his body.

I wish I could leave nothing behind, leaving only my empty consciousness drifting here.

In emptiness and clarity, one feels no pain, sadness, or discomfort; one simply knows that one is who one is, barely maintaining one's own existence...

Or perhaps it should even abandon its own existence...

Now it's much better than before, except his brain is burning up, making him vaguely and in a daze feel that if he could take his brain out of his body and expose it directly to the air...

Maybe it will be much cooler?

It's definitely much stronger now.

At least one more brain can be preserved.

So this is actually painful, right?

But... is it really painful?

If we disregard the process of dying and judge solely by the feeling of ultimately embracing death, then death itself is nothing more than a 'beep'.

It is an eternity in a moment, or an eternity in a moment.

I can't feel anything.

There is no such thing as suffering.

Those who have experienced a deep coma should understand this: in the unconscious stage before regaining consciousness, you don't dream, you only experience the "shh~" stage.

Simply put, it's like everything goes black, and then you forget everything, without any feeling, just like the saying goes, "No eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, mind, form, sound, smell, taste, touch, or dharma."

Even you yourself will forget it.

... It's almost as if one has merged with heaven and earth, born from the natural order of heaven and earth, and returning to the natural order of heaven and earth. (Not a typo)

Is this really painful? How could it be? Even the self has disappeared, so where does the pain come from? Who can feel it?

It's all someone else's suffering.

Perhaps it's a relative.

It might belong to someone else.

But for me personally, it wasn't a painful thing at all.

Uraraka Shige, and is on the verge of dying a second time; she has experience, truly.

But Uraraka Shige is still in pain.

Because he did not truly die.

I've already said it, but I'll repeat it three times here.

He knew he was about to die a second time.

He is about to die a second time.

Coming soon!!!

Rather, they are not already dead.

He is currently in a state of 'death', not 'dead'.

It's the process before death.

It's preparation for embracing death!

Therefore, he is in pain at this moment, which is not something or a state that can be understood by the brain.

Even those who have never died, or very young people, should be able to understand this, right?

After all, a great deal of effort had been spent explaining, describing, and illustrating this point.

The pain that Uraraka Shige once felt could be described in a concise way, even down to a single word.

Hot

There aren't even any extra punctuation marks!

It only occupies one byte!

However, if described in detail, it could even be the subject of a 10,000-word essay.

I won't go into too much detail here.

Please put the knife away.

Thanks.

Everyone here is human, so it goes without saying what humans crave when it's hot; those who know, know.

It wasn't water; it was thirst—a genuine, heartfelt craving.

When it's really hot, what people crave is actually relief from the heat... or rather, coolness.

Just like a hot- Piao Dadiao needs to release her pent-up anger, Yakumo Ran needs to relieve her stress, it's the same principle.

So when Uraraka Shige suddenly felt cool, she couldn't help but make a comfortable sound.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuah~"

It started as a sound like blowing bubbles, but suddenly it turned into a normal, ordinary FU♂ sound.

It's unclear how much time passed, Uraraka Shige was restored by Chisaki Kai using his 'Quirk'.

Even the clothes on their bodies were completely intact.

Meanwhile, 'AFO' has begun its final debugging phase.

Uraraka Shige rescuing Chisaki Kai, Chisaki shoved Eri into his arms and then rushed off to 'Re-Destro'.

This is an important person; we can't let him die here, otherwise the outside 'Meta Liberation' members will definitely cause huge trouble for his and Uraraka Shige's future plans.

Moreover, given their considerable strength, they will be a great asset in the upcoming battle against 'AFO'.

It's best to try to save them if possible.

Despite the intense discomfort caused by contact with others, including the Yukio, Chisaki Kai managed to revive the four strongest members of his team.

The others no longer had the time or energy to try to save them.

The 'Meta Liberation' side was almost completely wiped out, nearly comparable to the 'United' camp, which was personally led by Yamato.

With the Doctor's dedicated adjustments, 'AFO' is becoming increasingly adapted to the body and can already begin to move its limbs slightly. It will probably be less than half a minute before they can begin testing the body's combat capabilities.

Uraraka Shige and the others felt immense pressure and began to be increasingly cautious in monitoring the progress and situation of 'AFO', even secretly interfering with it.

All of this could have been a futile effort.

All the underhanded tactics they employed were ignored by the Doctor and 'AFO' on the other side.

The gap is so large it's despairing.

At that very moment, another group of reinforcements arrived at the scene on the same route that Uraraka Shige and the others had taken.

They stood at the edge of the crater ruins created when Uraraka Shige used 'Star', looking at the battlefield now, and suddenly felt a jolt, unable to help but mutter to themselves.

A terrible battle...
