Floating in the sky, blocking the light of the moon, is a huge whale made up of countless scrapped and abandoned objects. This flying mechanical whale keeps emitting sad melodies along the way, and several projectors extend from its back.

The light emitted from the lenses of these projectors continuously sweeps across the ground. When passers-by on the ground are illuminated by the light, they will be pulled by a force, and no matter how they struggle in the air, they will be sucked into the lens.

This is just like the aliens in a science fiction movie who use flying saucers to capture the earthlings.

"what is this!?"

"Oh no, Mana, the light is coming this way, Xia Lu!"

"What the hell is this?"

Sitting on the edge of Big Beta, the tallest building in Big Beta City, Ash, with his legs dangling in the air, supported his head with his hands and watched the people on the ground being sucked into the whale like garbage.

"It's such a grand scene, is it like a movie?"

After dodging a ray of light by leaning sideways, Ash stood up and looked at the huge whale that was now at the same level as him from afar.

"Is the system here? ...No."

The time was different from what he expected. The dark echo did not take his life, but Ash lived a little longer.

Although the dark echoes began to surge again after a brief pause, they were at least not as deadly as before.

More importantly, the desires and malice that tormented him were also weakened. Only certain thoughts and questions lingered in Ash's mind, urging him to have a final understanding with the Pretty Cure.

"The game between you and me isn't over yet. I guess you're on top of it right now? After all, you won't just sit back and watch."

I'll come to you right away.

"But what is the origin of this thing?"

"Those things were once loved and used by humans, until they were covered in dust and abandoned after they had no further use."

A strange voice from behind attracted his attention. There, a big-eared elf he had never seen before was slowly telling the settings to Ash, and Xia Lulu and other elves followed her all the way to the top of the tower.

"The anger and sadness of these things coalesced into a force that ultimately created this object and the people inside it."

"Ah, I see. It's just that some things that should have been thrown into the dustbin of history have come out again."

Judging from the description, it should be something like a Tsukumogami, right?

"If possible, I hope you can respect the past a little."

"unnecessary."

I have let go of so many things in the past, whether they were pain, happiness, sadness, important events, or insignificant things.

"What's important is neither the future nor the past. As long as people have the present, they are useless."

Ash turned away from the elves.

"What's more, for someone like me, the past is the most meaningless thing."

Ash has long learned to just miss her and not dwell on the past, otherwise he would have been driven crazy by his current situation.

The big-eared elf shook his head at what Ash said. Although he had heard other elves describe Ash's appearance, it was true that seeing was believing.

Is he the rescuer you mentioned? Xia Lulu could read this from her eyes.

"If there is no other way, we don't want to look for him."

The elves looked at Ash's back with some fear in their eyes. After all, this guy who didn't care about their Pretty Cure partner really left a collective bad impression on the elves.

But because they knew his obsession with Guangmei and the others, they thought of looking for this person to help them after losing their companions.

"So they capture people to seek revenge on those who abandoned them?"

"No, the main purpose is to lock all humans into his own world of memories, in order to seize their future."

"I think I understand."

Ash's instinct to get his kidneys worked up in him.

Chapter 134 "Hero" joins

The moment she was hit by the light, Ai Aida lost consciousness and it was unknown how long it took for her to slowly wake up.

Just like a person who has just been woken up by the alarm clock, the brain of love is still not very clear, and in the drowsy state, he only remembers that he has not given up.

Am I inside this whale now? Mom, Dad, and everyone else are here too, right? Okay! I'm going to rescue everyone in one fell swoop!

"Xia Lulu, let's go!"

There was no response when he called out to his partner, and his heart sank. Could it be that Xia Lulu and the others didn't come?

"Mana, what are you talking about?"

A gentle and nostalgic voice came from the other side. Ai rubbed her sleepy eyes and answered subconsciously.

"Grandma, did you see..."

Midway through her words, Ai froze.

Wait, grandma? Why did I say grandma?

But didn’t grandma pass away due to health reasons a few years ago?

Ai rubbed her eyes desperately again, and when she opened them again, she saw the gentle smile of the old man that she once remembered.

"grandmother?!"

"What's wrong, Mana? If you haven't slept well yet, you can go back to sleep for a while."

"but--"

Ai didn't know how to explain to her grandmother who suddenly "came back from the dead", but she was clearly fighting against the self-proclaimed "Forgotten King" together with her fellow Pretty Cure girls, until she was also sucked into the so-called memories.

“Wangwang——!”

Just as Ai was lost in thought, a ball of white fluff jumped into her arms and licked Ai's cheeks with its bright red tongue.

"Ah, it's so itchy~!"

This feeling is so familiar!

"Marlowe!?"

"Wangwang~"

Hearing his owner calling out his name in surprise, Aida Ai's beloved dog, Marlow, happily responded with a bark.

The deceased relatives and beloved dogs returned to him one after another, and his heart was almost instantly filled with the joy of regaining what he had lost.

"But what exactly is this...?"

"That gigantic whale creature is led by Matthew, who calls himself the King of the Forgotten, and uses mysterious powers. Even though he's a bit of a fool." After introducing himself to Ash, the new elf with big ears, Bellulu, immediately began to introduce the enemy's identity.

"His men are a corps of abandoned creatures who have been given new life and awakened. If you want to explain it in terms of Tsukumogami, that's fine, but if you underestimate them because they were just trash in the past, you'll suffer a great loss."

"Really? If you want to deal with ghosts, go ask Renzhi and Asume. If all else fails, ask Tianqing and the others." Ash put one hand in his pocket and played with the watch dial, while rubbing his black hair with the other hand in a slightly annoyed manner.

"Love them? Why is it just you? Isn't it over?"

"That giant whale took Mana and Rikka's parents away, and they had no choice but to follow it in order to save other innocent people, including their loved ones."

"But that thing only took Mana away and actually left us behind. How despicable, Xia Lu!" Xia Lulu stomped her feet angrily, and her soft toes kept making puffing sounds.

"I see. That's why you came to see me."

In other words, I am the only capable fighter left out there.

If they hadn't unexpectedly found Ash here, the elves would have tried to force their way in with their weak bodies. Although they would be brave enough to go even to hell for their partners, it was still too dangerous.

"You...you will come to help, right Lance?" Little Bear Lance suppressed his fear and asked Ash tentatively.

"..."

"You...you can do it, right?"

"Heh." Ash scoffed and put away the alien dragon tooth dial in his hand. "There's no other way. If I don't do it, who else will do it?"

"I'll put the matter with you and Pretty Cure aside for now."

"And if the Pretty Cures were defeated by that Forgotten King, I'd be in a lot of trouble."

After picking up a few elves and putting them in his arms, Ash stood on the edge of the tower with his arms spread out in the shape of a cross. His body fell forward, attracted by gravity, and fell headfirst towards the busy ground.

Feeling the biting coldness cutting his cheeks and the sound of the wind whistling in his ears, the feeling was more exciting than any extreme sport and made Ash grin.

It's just that he was stimulating, and the elves who didn't have such a big heart as him felt uncomfortable. The elves with their eyes rolling around wanted to scream, but when they opened their mouths, a large amount of wind rushed into their mouths. For a while, they could only mumble and couldn't say anything. Only Bellulu, who was lying on Ash's head with her big ears pressed against the man's body, could barely maintain her shape.

"I'm going to fall to my death, I'm going to fall to my death!"

"Oh, the fun has just begun!"

Ash clenched his fists and crossed them in front of him like an ice skater, twisted his waist to adjust his position in mid-air until the angle between his body and the tower was a standard 90°. Then he pushed hard with his feet, and the steel frame at his footing bent down on the spot. The joints of his legs bent their knees like a locust in the air, gathering strength. At the moment of separation, a visible shock wave began to spread around. With this force, Ash soared into the sky towards the giant whale!

"Wait, are you going to jump over? It's hundreds of meters away, you can't do it!"

"The locust-transformed humans' legs aren't just for looks!"

Just as Ash said, he would not do anything without confidence. With the help of his jumping power, he was getting closer and closer to the scrap metal shell of the whale.

Continuing to change his position so that his feet were facing the whale, Ash spun his body like the typhoon reversal kick he had witnessed Kazami Shiro do before, until the moment he touched the surface, his feet, like drills, bored through the surface of the steel, and Ash rolled into it, holding the elves.

In the cockpit of the Flying Whale, Matthew, a white-haired man wearing an eyepatch, sat on his own throne. Looking at those who were lost in memories and obsessed with the beauty of the past, and looking at the Pretty Cures in the past who were unaware of their happiness from the outside world, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"That's right. If you don't embrace the future, you won't have to know how much pain you'll encounter in the future. It's enough for people to live in the happiness of the past."

Mana, the same goes for you. You just need to live in this happy world where no one leaves. There are no responsibilities of a Pretty Cure, no enemies that must be defeated, no Ash. You just need to be happy like this forever.

"Oh no, my king, there are intruders!"

When the boss is happy, there will usually be some bad luck interrupting him. For example, the information sent by the signalman at this moment makes him feel very bad.

"What?" Matthew felt something was wrong and immediately activated the whale's internal surveillance video circuit. When he saw the intruder's face, his expression changed instantly.

"It's you, the guy who bullied Mana. You can't be forgiven!"

Angry sounds continued to come out from between Matthew's fangs.

"Use everyone around here to knock that man down!"

As soon as they came in, the elves saw darkness coming towards them from all directions.

"We're surrounded Darby!"

"Wow, what a warm welcome!"

Facing the monsters made of humanoid models or furniture that stood up in the passage and walked towards him, facing their continuous influx, Ash raised his thumb fearlessly, then turned his wrist and pointed downwards fiercely.

"Go ahead, all you fools who are not afraid of death and want to see the beauty of hell!"

Ash, appearing in a superhero landing pose, stepped forward with his outstretched leg, scraping the ground with his downward-pointing heel, creating a semicircle in front of him that sent sparks flying.

"Just bring them all over here."

Chapter 135: Ash: How come you all know me?

"Trash should go back to where it belongs."

The shooting sublimator in his left hand fired a series of light bullets, smashing the enemies into pieces. He kicked the approaching enemies into the surrounding walls. Ash, who beat people like hanging paintings, faced a circle of enemies surrounding him at the same time. He bent his right hand and raised it to his left shoulder, then used the slashing sublimator in his hand to draw a circular cut with himself as the center. Under the light of the flames, dozens of "human heads" rose into the sky.

Although the upgrade keys and extinction keys that Ash collected in his previous journey were all used up, the transformation device that also functions as a weapon now plays another role. After all, the lack of a matching transformation item will not affect their normal use.

"Garbage is garbage. Even if you gather all your strength, it's still just scraps of iron."

Looking at the last fallen enemy, Ash casually waved his hands. He didn't even transform, but just sweated a little with a gun and a knife, and he solved the problem of these useless soldiers or useless soldiers.

"But precisely because it's garbage and worthless, it appears at any time."

Bellulu above his head reminded Ash loudly. He looked around and saw that these originally scattered pieces of trash began to automatically regroup under a miraculous power. It seemed that they would all be revived with full health in a short while.

"What are you waiting for?"

Throwing the gun and knife into the inventory, Ash turned and ran.

After walking around the huge interior for a few times, he still couldn't find any trace of the person who loved them. Instead, he happened to break into a room that looked like a warehouse, which was filled with neatly arranged rolls of movie film.

"I didn't realize you're quite interesting. Do you like watching movies?"
