January 11 Makeup Chapter
Uraraka Shige had his eyes closed at the moment, but in his Gravity Perspective, the actions of 'AFO', which were originally impossible to detect with the naked eye, became extremely obvious.
The power of 'AFO's' body is so immense that every movement it makes will counteract Gravity, causing violent fluctuations in Gravity.
For example, right now, from Li Ri's perspective, one can clearly see a trace of gravity being disturbed, like ripples on a calm surface of water, rushing straight towards his head.
So he decisively manipulated Gravity and exerted his own strength, and with this combined effect, he anticipated 'AFO's' movements and easily dodged 'AFO's' kick.
This is a technique he's been developing since he was very young... or rather, a fighting style— Gravity-Assisted Combat Mode, or simply Gravity-Assist Mode.
Correspondingly, there is the Gravity Output Combat Mode, which utilizes techniques such as 'Star', 'Line', and 'Gravity Blade' in normal conditions.
In comparison, the latter is better suited for dealing with large numbers of weak enemies and has various clearing methods, including 'Star' and 'Orb Burst'.
The former is mainly for situations such as one-on-one battles with stronger opponents.
He categorized techniques such as "Combo," "Gravity Perspective," "Armor," and "Puppet" into the Gravity-Assist Mode.
Of course, these techniques are not limited to a specific pattern; the actual situation must be judged based on the specific facts.
After all, Uraraka Shige isn't some game character who needs to switch modes and transform before using a skill.
This mainly illustrates that he has different ways of coping with different situations.
So when he successfully avoided this attack, which would normally be too fast to see, with the help of Gravity, a large mass of Compress Gravity suddenly exploded where his head should have been.
Just then, 'AFO's' kick swept across the air, and the area that should have been a normal person's groin was hit precisely by the sudden burst of Gravity.
To put it simply, it was an attack that would have hurt even the men present just watching it... assuming they could even see it.
So how did 'AFO' react after being hit squarely by this attack?
He acted... he didn't act at all, as if he had never been attacked at all.
The body 'AFO' is currently in is a perfect body that was deliberately modified by that Doctor. To emphasize again, it is a 'perfect' body that was artificially created and could be modified.
In fact, it does not possess any sexual characteristics.
It's true that this is the vital area between a normal person's legs, but 'AFO's' body cannot be judged by normal standards.
Therefore, unlike ordinary people who would be struck by Heavy Strike, 'AFO', who seemed completely unaffected by the attack, immediately launched another attack on Uraraka Shige.
At the same time, he could even calmly speak, proving that his attack, which was so fast that it was invisible, was simply something he did casually.
"Oh? This sudden attack... It seems the effect I just experienced was due to this too. Was it telekinesis? This invisible, colorless, and undetectable power, which can be used for both attack and control/ Quirk..."
'AFO' made a completely irresponsible guess.
Ultimately, Gravity is such a powerful and rare 'Quirk' ability that most people would naturally first associate it with telekinesis, a relatively more common power.
As Uraraka Shige dodged the attacks, a hint of relief flashed through her mind.
'AFO' keenly grasped this point and suddenly changed its tune.
"... Or is it air manipulation? The attack I just received clearly included not only the initial strike but also a large amount of airflow that followed. If it's a 'Quirk' that allows direct manipulation of the air..."
No, you must possess some kind of 'Quirk' or method that allows you to indirectly control, manipulate, and influence the atmosphere. That initial sense of familiarity...
It's as if I've encountered it before, and have frequently experienced it, or even just recently gone through it.
As 'AFO's' speculations became increasingly close to the truth, Uraraka Shige couldn't help but feel nervous and tried to interfere with 'AFO's' speculations.
"Oh? Really? Are you sure you're familiar with how my 'Quirk' is expressed?"
A flippant tone and manner of speaking can often make it difficult for the other party to understand.
This moment was no exception; 'AFO's' speculations were interfered with and influenced, causing him to ponder even more carefully.
However, he wasn't anxious at all, because Uraraka Shige's attention and energy were diverted by talking, which made him less focused and affected his dodging efficiency. He seized the opportunity and sent Li Rizhong flying far away with a punch.
This also allowed him to discover some clues and hints about the 'Quirk' of this 'Death Omen Star'.
"They anticipated my attack and, when my body couldn't react in time, forcibly increased my reaction speed and efficiency like manipulating a puppet... This, combined with the previous attacks I received and the fleeting sense of familiarity after they landed on me."
A sudden realization dawned on 'AFO'; he had found a clue that could help him explore 'Death Omen Star Quirk'.
"I see. Something that can interfere with reality, something commonly seen in life that no one pays attention to, or something that goes unnoticed... Is this the essence of your 'Quirk'?"
Although I still love you and am not entirely sure what your 'Quirk' is exactly, it's probably something like air, atmosphere, particles, gravity, some kind of element or certain particles... could it be one of these kinds of things?
What an excellent 'Quirk'! Just like All Might, even knowing what his 'Quirk' is, there's no way to target or limit him based on his 'Quirk'..."
Uraraka Shige. The power of 'AFO' in this new body was immense. The power of this punch alone was probably comparable to the combination of various 'Quirk' that 'AFO' used in the Battle of Kamino.
His armor, composed of air and the combined Gravity after Compress, was shattered by this punch. Clearly, this was just a very ordinary attack, far from being his full-force effort.
But...
"They can fight!"
If it's only this level, his body can easily handle it! And if 'AFO' increases the intensity, he also has the means and techniques to reduce the opponent's fighting ability!
What truly gave him a glimmer of hope and a sense of victory was a move he had developed long ago but had never used in close combat!
"Even!"
