Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"Don't repeat something so obvious." Unfortunately, unlike the Witch of Despair who beat around the bush, Ash obviously had no intention of talking too much with the Riddler.

"Just now you treated everyone else like fools, and now you're pretending nothing happened to try to get close to me? Ha, are you the fool or am I?"

The Witch of Despair did not answer, but just "intimately" hugged Twilight, who was still in a trance, and showed a malicious smile.

"If you want her, I can certainly give her to you. But don't you think that our existences are very similar?"

Ash didn't deny it, but he didn't answer either. He just folded his hands over his chest and watched her performance in silence.

"You do whatever you want, just to get the beautiful things you want. It doesn't matter if you hurt or take away everything else, right?"

The you that I observe are just so evil. It just so happens that both Disdak and I are the same in this respect.

"Look, this princess of the Kingdom of Hope once had a strong and far-reaching dream to benefit the people. To this end, she worked hard day by day even at a young age."

"But the longer the dream, the more difficult it becomes. It was precisely because of this that the princess, suffering from her own immaturity and drowning in anxiety, called me."

"And I just gave her a little guidance, and she grew into a princess who could easily swallow up hope, and even you would fall in love with her, right?"

Quietly listening to the secret of Twilight's birth, Ash seemed to be touched and walked towards her with some worry in his eyes as the Precures who had climbed up behind him.

"You think this is beautiful too, right? Compared to dreams, this is the most beautiful when you're desperate!"

That’s why I said, whether it’s despair or darkness, we should be extremely similar.

"So, King of the Night Kingdom, it's a waste for you to abandon your own advantages to chase after Pretty Cure. Why not—"

"After all that, isn't she still a victim that you kidnapped from someone else?"

As soon as Ash said this, the expression on the Witch of Despair's face froze visibly.

"You said we were alike, FNNDGP, so I'm going to be blunt! I've never considered myself a villain, and even if I were, I wouldn't be bothered by your lowliness!"

Darkness and light? Despair and hope? Such troublesome philosophical questions have nothing to do with me.

I like what I like! If I want something, I will definitely work hard to make her respond to my likes with the same sincerity!

So, stop complaining about other people’s well-being here!

"Lao Deng, don't be so ungrateful. Return your daughter... no, give my queen back to me!"

Considering that you, though a newborn, at least raised Twilight. Considering that I don't want to make her too sad, I can just beat you half to death and let you go.

Sigh... I'm becoming more and more soft-hearted when I'm with Pretty Cure.

Chapter 122: Falling out (4K chapter)

Ash really couldn't understand. The shitty things you did just now were targeting people I care about. You wanted to plot against me and test me. Now you say that all this is for future cooperation, so that I can better understand your thoughts?

No matter what she thought, Ash now had only one thought: Are you awake?

Do I look like someone who is so easy to fool? Even if you really want to fool me, you should at least be a little more tempting. At least you, a BBA, are not my type of person.

In fact, what Despia said about darkness, the aesthetics of despair and the like sounded to Ash like the dark and cruel things that middle school students in their second year of high school advocated as the real world.

Sorry, I didn't hear a word you said.

Even someone like me who doesn't care about what others think will never believe a single word from someone like you who can take advantage of even your own relatives!

As for the Witch of Despair, as an enemy, her strength should satisfy him.

The same thing happened with Disbia, who actually disappointed him as an enemy.

"Stop insulting my intelligence."

Direct

"Do you want to fight or get out?"

The Witch of Despair, who had covered the upper half of her face, with her lips exposed, retracted the smile of triumph that had once appeared on her lips.

"It seems that the Lord of the Night feels that there is nothing more to discuss."

With one hand still supporting Twilight, Despia always kept a distance from Ash.

"Whose fault do you think this is?"

"Really? Is it because you still have dreams about them?"

A crisp clanging sound rang out from the ground, and the mask that was originally covering Twilight's face shattered. When the girl opened her confused eyes, the color of her pupils was emitting a different color from before.

She felt as if she had been dreaming for a very long time.

It seemed that before I closed my eyes, my brother Bifang was still teaching me the truth that "don't be impatient, you have to take it one step at a time."

But when I opened my eyes, I had grown up and was old enough to adapt to this teaching.

I'm Twilight from Princess Despair... No, my real name should be Princess of Kingdom of Hope: Forever?

But, I remember everything! If that's the case—

"Who am I?"

"Twilight!"

The sudden sound startled the girl Youlong back to her senses. Not far away from where she was confronting each other, Dark Kiva, wearing black armor, was reaching out to her.

"You know who I am! Come here and grab my hand!"

I know you are the one who wants to possess me... Leaning in Disbia's arms, the girl retracted her hand in fear.

But I also remember that you were the one who loved me sincerely and even tried to save me.

He is a terrifying yet warm person.

You are my...

"K...King...?"

Following her inner thoughts, the girl, filled with longing, actually reached out her hand to Ash, whom she was afraid of.

"Come on, good boy..."

"Your dream will never come true."

When a chilling voice sounded from behind, the girl suddenly remembered that she was in Despiah's arms! Breaking free... Impossible!

"Whether it's the dream of being loved now or the dream of bringing warmth to others, it's destined to be unrealized."

It was your change of mind at that time that gave me the opportunity to invade the Kingdom of Hope, wasn't it?

"Besides, you're nothing now, so there's no reason for him to like you anymore, right?"

After hearing Disbia's last words, the trembling girl fell down with a blank look in her eyes as if all her strength had been drained away.

"As long as it's a dream, it will eventually be shattered."

The witch hugged her "daughter" whom she did not love at all from behind, and cast a curtain of despair over them.

"You son of the beach!"

I was just waiting for her to come out on her own before I just watched. What are you trying to do?! Sure enough, I should have blasted you to pieces first!

"Die to me!"

He was kneading the Demon King's power that had just broken through, and was about to rush forward with a heavy fist that was emitting a deep green light all over his body to blow off Disbia's head, but he saw that their entire bodies turned into black mist and dissipated from his fist.

This is exactly the embodiment of the use of highly concentrated despair energy. The omnipotent Demon King power is indeed strong enough. Whether it is immobilization, destruction or treatment, it can be used for almost anything as long as the power is enough. However, because of this, it is not as specialized as the purification energy mastered by the Pretty Cure.

As the materialization of the dark power deep in the mind, the energy of despair can be multiplied or weakened at any time due to the reaction of the target's mind. In this way, it can bypass the power of destruction and make the enemy's non-"holy" attacks invalid.

At this moment, Despia, who had become as deep as the abyss of the soul, took the girl hostage and escaped from Ash's attack range, making it difficult for him to break the mechanism with pure force.

"Damn it!"

No wonder he dared to stand naked in my attack range, he must have his own confidence!

"Ash...!"

Haruka, who had rushed over, holding her twisted arm, still had a worried look on her face. "I'm glad you're okay. Where are Twilight and Princess Forever?"

"she--"

Halfway through his words, the knight's face changed and he immediately jumped into the air while holding the girl under his armpits amidst her screams!

Almost as soon as he left the ground, several huge vines emitting an ominous aura broke through the constraints of the earth and rose from the ground!

"Oh, this is it!"

Seeing the giant plant breaking through the top of the castle, especially the plant spores wrapped in seeds at the top, Chat and Locke, who were flying not far away, also showed joyful expressions.

"It seems that Lady Disbia has finally taken action."

"It seems there's more to it than that~" Shat, intently sensing the energy reaction of the giant Castle of Despair, revealed an intoxicated expression. "Ah~ So Lady Twilight is in there too! How powerful and beautiful! So cool~!"

Locke said nothing and walked away from the still intoxicated Chat. "Who is this?" he asked. "It must be a lickspittle. I don't know him anyway."

"Run away!"

The castle was constantly crumbling around the monster that was gradually growing bigger. Amidst the falling rubble, it seemed that the place was becoming unbearable to stay in. Puff and Aloma quickly picked up the corner of Kanata's clothes who had been knocked unconscious earlier, and with great effort they escaped together with the Pretty Cure.

"How could she be like this?!"

Seeing the huge Castle of Despair rising from the ground hundreds of meters high, Yao couldn't help but tighten his grip on Ash's hand with a look of discomfort on his face.

"Twilight was not only deceived, but also used to this extent? I...I have to go save her!"

"Calm down." Ash, with a serious expression, stopped Haruka who was about to rush out. "It's especially important not to be impulsive at times like this."

At this point, Ash had to admit that he'd been bullying weaklings too much and had indeed underestimated Disdak. No wonder the one who dared to plot against him had the confidence to challenge him. The aura emanating from this monster was truly too much for him to handle.

"How can this be—Isn't Ash the one who likes Twilight the most?"

"Yeah, so...!"

Ash seriously held Haruka's hand tightly, conveying his thoughts to her.

Although our hearts may express themselves differently now, they are all the same color.

"You're not alone, and neither is she, so."

"Let's go and rescue her together."

Ash's other hand was quietly placed on the kivat at his waist.

"[Ash?]"

"Now, give me that sword."

A dark, reddish evil aura emanated faintly from the countless vines of the massive plant, while countless root-like tentacles emerged from the soil and snaked outward. Within the gradually blooming seeds at the top, a hideous face resembling a keyhole slowly emerged, dragging a sticky liquid like a newborn.

Located at the keyhole at the head of the Castle of Despair, Disbia, who was connected to the entire Castle of Despair through the pipes behind her, had a satisfied expression on her face.

"Hmm~ Such wonderful despair, worthy of Twilight."

You hoped to snatch the key from Pretty Cure, but you failed. You hoped to defeat the King of the Night, and you even considered switching sides... Well, at least this isn't such a bad outcome for you, is it?

"She's such a good daughter for trying so hard for me in the end!"

Ash is still a little unhappy now.

"[Are you sure? Ash couldn't use that sword before, and he seemed to be resisting it.]"

“It’s not a question of whether it’s useful or not.”

Putting Haruka down from his hand, Ash looked up at the sky which had turned pitch black. The culprit was the Castle of Despair in front of him which was swaying its huge stems and leaves.

"This thing is disgusting and not worthy of my queen."

"So I'm going to chop it off."

From the shadow cast by the Castle of Despair hundreds of meters away, countless ghosts activated by the energy of despair surrounded Ash in the center, determined to win by sheer numbers and drown him in this wave.

"[I understand. I respectfully obey the king's order.]"

On the other side, after separating from Ash, the girl, who was no longer ashamed like a little girl, held the palm of her hand that had just touched him. With the remaining warmth on her face, she collected her thoughts, clenched her fists even harder, and stared at the plant tentacles that were rapidly attacking her.

"Everyone, what should we do?"

"Now that things have come to this, of course we have no choice but to go!"

After reaching a consensus with their companions, the girls responded physically with decisive actions.

Amidst the extremely dull roar, the girls' powerful punches smashed the tentacles into a pool of vegetable juice. Several tentacles that attempted to attack from the flank and tie up the girls were also caught by Yao from the corner of her eye. She immediately turned around and swung down, even the muscles on her thighs that were as taut as hemp ropes. At that moment, the tentacles were cut off as if they were cut by an invisible blade.
