Taunting Before the Boss Battle

"This is unbelievable, All Might... The flame within you should have been completely extinguished by now. Is this appearance just for show?"

Swish~

Everyone experienced a distinct pause, as if a game was skipping frames. A moment ago, 'AFO' was in front of them, but now it suddenly appeared in front of All Might behind them.

All Might was utterly shocked; he hadn't even seen how 'AFO' had appeared in front of him.

However, he could clearly sense that this guy hadn't teleported here directly through spatial means, but rather had used his physical body at an extremely fast speed, leaving everyone unable to react.

However, theoretically this should be impossible, unless...

"... No..."

All Might felt a chill; he couldn't sense the presence of the 'Quirk' OneForAll within his body.

Fortunately, after completely losing his power, his mind actually grew even further, so he didn't let this emotion show on the surface, but hid it well.

And this was not noticed by 'AFO'.

Therefore, 'AFO' did not take action immediately, but continued to probe All Might with words and actions.

"Besides, the reason you were able to recover is because of this little girl, right? In other words, as long as I deal with this little girl, you'll go back to your frail state, won't you? Or do you intend to fight me while carrying this little girl with you?"

'AFO's' words undoubtedly revealed All Might's greatest weakness at this moment... As expected of 'AFO', he accurately exposed All Might's greatest weakness with just two probing remarks.

Yes, All Might was able to return to his current Quirk because of Eri's Rewind, but Eri's Quirk is only a physical Rewind. All Might's Quirk has already been transferred to someone else. Could she possibly create a second One For All using her Quirk?!

This is currently unknown.

However, it is known that All Might is not able to feel his Quirk recovering at this moment. This is something that not only All For One, but also Re-Destro and Uraraka Shige can see.

"He's hesitating, wavering... Perhaps his strength hasn't fully recovered, or is he afraid to act rashly because he's worried about Eri's safety? It seems the plan has run into some problems... Maybe he'll have to take matters into his own hands?"

Uraraka Shige her hands together and began to focus her senses on spreading them into the surrounding natural Gravity.

And 'AFO,' who is closer to All Might than them, already understands All Might better than they do, and therefore sees him more clearly and thoroughly.

Although All Might hides his true intentions well, with enough testing, a flaw will eventually be revealed.

"... But there's nothing you can do about it, right? Hehehe~ Once you lose this child, once you lose this child's 'Quirk,' you'll go back to being that skinny, bony figure, won't you?"

Ugh, what should we do? What should we do? Should we abandon the child and let her go to a safe place, or should we keep her with us and leave her in the heart of our conflict?

"She might not even be able to withstand the aftershocks of a fight. After all, look at her, she's such a young child. She may have a long road ahead of her, but how fragile she is right now!"

'AFO' controlled the new body, revealing a malicious and wicked smile, constantly attacking All Might's heart with words.

All Might, of course, would not show weakness at this moment. He glared angrily and retorted verbally.

"No matter what, now that I'm standing here, you can't hurt her!"

As All Might these words, 'AFO's' expression gradually darkened, not because of All Might's words, but because All Might only used words.

"Is that so? I see... Oh, I see... All Might... You really haven't recovered... After all, in your prime, you wouldn't have used such weak words to retaliate against me... Your fist should have already swung at me."

All Might's heart tightened. He knew that 'AFO' had seen through him and noticed the flaw. Indeed, just as 'AFO' had said, he had only recovered his physical strength and power, but the power contained in his 'Quirk', the power passed down through generations, had not yet been restored.

Perhaps it will never recover, or perhaps it just needs more time, but in any case, he cannot act immediately. This alone is his most fatal flaw, and one that cannot be concealed.

"Your body stiffened just now, it seems I was right, All Might. Right now, you're just a shell; your most important strength hasn't been restored at all..."

That's right, I should have thought of that sooner. After all, you've already passed that 'Quirk' on to others. How could there be two identical 'Quirk' called OneForAll in the world?"

'AFO' slowly raised his fist... He deliberately slowed down his movements, perhaps waiting and anticipating something, or perhaps simply wanting All Might and the Eri in his arms to experience the fear of death, and then...

The fist failed to land.

"Um?"

'AFO' turned around in surprise. Something seemed to have changed around him. His body suddenly became weak, and there seemed to be something pulling and binding his body. In addition, he had not yet fully adapted to this body. All these factors combined caused his fist to rise but not fall.

At this moment, the strange sense of powerlessness and the feeling of being bound disappeared, and he couldn't help but turn around, trying to find out where those obstacles had come from.

Then, at first glance, he spotted his target.

There, according to intelligence and what those people called him, the guy known as 'Death Omen Star' stood quietly in place, but the air around him was unnaturally distorted. At first glance, you might not notice anything, but when compared with the others, you would notice a very obvious difference and awkwardness.

Swoosh~

The figure of 'AFO' vanished instantly.

If Uraraka Shige is allowed to use his 'Quirk' recklessly here, his next attack, unless he understands exactly what just happened, will inevitably result in him missing his punches again.

Therefore, in his opinion, it might be better to eliminate this guy called 'Death Omen Star' first. After all, All Might's 'Quirk' has been passed down, and the characteristics of his body also mean that All Might cannot pose any real threat to him.
