To everyone's astonishment, the steel cage made of countless jagged steel bars actually developed cracks. However, Midoriya's punch ultimately failed to open the cage door. Instead, his Zero Gravity body was blasted away from the steel cage by the shockwave. His right gauntlet, having fulfilled its purpose, shattered and turned into powder that drifted away in the wind.

Damn it, if only I were stronger! Midoriya thought with some resentment. He was so close to rescuing All Might, he was just a hair's breadth away!

Suddenly, Midoriya felt his body, which had been drifting with the wind, come to a stop by something soft. He turned around and saw Jilan Jiyu was flying into the air even though he didn't have Ochaco Uraraka's "Zero Gravity" Quirk!

Midoriya exclaimed in surprise, "Jilan, you!"

"Midoriya, you've done very well. Leave the rest to me." Jilan smiled gently, pressed down on Midoriya's body, and added acceleration to him, causing Midoriya to float downwards.

Midoriya didn't react, staring blankly at Jilan until he landed a short distance from the ground Uraraka deactivated her Quirk, and Iida caught her. Only then did he react, exclaiming in surprise, "Why can Jilan fly?!"

"As for the reason," Iida turned to look at the empty glass tube in the briefcase containing the invention, "Jilan drank the entire Stock Solution."

When Midoriya had Uraraka grant him the "Zero Gravity" Quirk, Jilan already understood Midoriya's intention: he wanted to break the seal with his own power.

To be honest, Jilan breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't have to make that difficult decision. Although he was mentally prepared and had made some contingency plans, and was certain that the original Stock Solution would not cause him to explode immediately, Jilan was still a little apprehensive because this conclusion was based on Dr. David's experiments.

But what followed was shame and disgust—shame for Midoriya's bravery, and disgust for himself for still thinking about gains and losses at a time like this. And even if Midoriya could free All Might this time, what about next time? What if All Might was sealed away again?

Therefore, in order to maximize the benefits of Midoriya's only operation this time, Jilan resolutely drank the Stock Solution.

Jilan wasn't levitating on his own; in fact, he owed his current levitation ability to the red-haired man. The red-haired man's Quirk, amplified by the Quirk Amplification Device, was far too powerful for Jilan to control precisely. The uncontrollable parts unconsciously dissipated, forming an electromagnetic field that not only levitated the metal block but also allowed Jilan, using "Life Magnetism Hamon Overdrive," to briefly levitate by manipulating the magnetic poles.

This would have been impossible for Jilan at her previous Hamon level, but after taking the Quirk Enhancement Fluid formulated by Dr. David, Jilan's Hamon quantity seemed to become infinite. The Hamon consumed one second was replenished the next, allowing Jilan to maintain the state of "Life Magnetism Hamon Overdrive".

"Dr. David said that if I took the Quirk Enhancement Stock Solution directly, my body wouldn't be able to handle the excessive Quirk and it would explode. But because of the channeling effect of 'Hamon,' I only seem to feel a bloated feeling like I've overeaten."

As Jilan had expected, she did not explode. Instead, she used the "circulation" property of the Hamon within her body to allow the massive energy to flow to every corner of her body, enhancing every inch of her skin!

"This feels really good," Jilan thought silently. It was like suddenly getting a level 100 trial card after being stuck at level 20. This sudden surge of power made him feel a sense of unreality.

Jilan shook his head, deciding to stop thinking about those things. The most important thing now was to rescue All Might!

In the original work, many people practiced Hamon, but the combat power exerted by the Hamon in each person's hands was different. This was due to the difference in the amount of Hamon, as well as the differences in talent and usage.

There is a limit to the amount of Hamon a person can cultivate in their lifetime, much like the limit to mana. Each use of Hamon consumes some mana. The more Hamon is consumed, the stronger the attack becomes. However, for the sake of combat, unless it can be a fatal blow, every Hamon user will use Hamon very cautiously in battle. This was also the case with Jilan before.

But for Jilan right now, there's absolutely no need for him to worry about mana, since he's practically in overpowered mode right now!

"Sunlight Yellow Hamon Overdrive - Full Coverage 100!" Jilan's right hand seemed to emit a strong light in the night, like an artificial sun, causing the red-haired man to squint as he maintained the prison cage.

When the red-haired man opened his eyes, Jilan's right hand had already struck the crack left by Midoriya. The next moment, the crack began to widen, and the metal cage let out a wail before shattering with a roar!

A blond man in a red and blue combat suit leaped out of the metal cage, laughing maniacally. "It's all alright now. Why? Because I'm back!"

"All Might!" Seeing All Might escape from prison was like a shot of adrenaline for everyone; they were all excited, hoping that All Might would reappear in their hearts.

We can win! We will definitely win this battle!

All Might, seeing Jilan's body wreathed in Hamon, resembling a Super Saiyan, sensed something was wrong and hesitantly asked Jilan, what's wrong with you now?"

Jilan knew what All Might wanted to ask, and he gently shook his head. "I'm fine. The most important thing now is to take down this enemy in front of us. We can talk about everything else after this is over."

Jilan's breathing was steady, and she didn't seem to be in any danger. Instead, she looked more like someone who had taken some kind of drug, with inexhaustible energy.

All Might, temporarily relieved, watched the red-haired man slowly lower his hands after the cage was broken, and revealed his signature smile. "Jilan, you seem to be in good spirits. Want to come at me?"

"Certainly."

"Then, I'm going!" All Might waved his hands and disappeared from Jilan's sight with a whoosh. The next moment, All Might appeared on the metal exoskeleton created by the red-haired man and rushed upwards along the lower limbs he had created!

"Now that All Might has gone in, it's time for me to make my move too." Jilan took a deep breath. "However, the timing is perfect. Let me try out this new ability!"

From the moment Jilan used the Killer Queen to completely destroy the metal to the moment the red-haired man arbitrarily manipulated it, countless iron filings, far more numerous than dust, were scattered above the rooftop and in the air.

To control such a thing requires a very high level of precision. Because his Quirk was amplified several times over, the red-haired man could only perform large, sweeping movements. He couldn't do anything precise and could only let these resources scatter everywhere.

However, for Jilan, who also possesses limitless energy, these iron sands, along with the electromagnetic field that permeates the entire area, allow him to manipulate the iron sands without limit through the Magnetism converted by "Life Magnetism Hamon Overdrive"!
