Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

Catherine's hand paused and she was shocked again. She found that the two people who should have been completely suppressed by her suddenly stopped. The two weapons in their hands, one on the left and one on the right, actually stopped her sickle in place when they crossed each other?

"But why do I feel that I already possess such a treasure, and I am not at a loss at all?"

Otherwise, where does the seemingly inexhaustible new energy that is now flowing from deep within our bodies come from?!

"...But this illusory existence is ultimately just a castle in the air!"

No, Catherine, who absolutely could not accept Ash's display of "idealistic power", tried her best again, and with the even stronger power, the critical point erupted from the weapon, forcing the two of them back again. Even the heart-shaped bow and arrow in Ai Aida's hand was broken into two pieces on the spot.

"It seems like you, Ash, have really been infected by them and turned into a useless person who only knows how to talk about love and friendship all day long..."

So, Ash, this is how you were infected with "light and hope", completely ruining your life as a natural born strong man, and now you appear in front of me with a smug look on your face.

"If that's the case—then come and pay for the mistakes you made to Mom in the past!"

The scattered hair spread out behind her like the shadow of a devil. Catherine exerted all her strength to exert the dark power that was enough to completely devour the light of the two people. It was like a huge wave pushing from the distant sea level and covering the two of them!

How could I let you go, you who are such a disappointing person and killed your mother with your own hands for that kind of woman!

Chapter 250: She said, "It's OK!" (4K5 chapters)

"I know quite well how to fight against people like you."

Having suffered a defeat against this idealistic power last time, Catherine knew she couldn't afford to give them any more time or opportunity. She gathered all her dark energy, dispersed it, and released it like a vast net, covering the two men atop the tower, who had no room to dodge.

"Of course it's impossible for you to successfully unleash that kind of power!"

The opened spider webs came from all directions and bound the knight's limbs, sticking him firmly to the web. The angel of love on the side was even more targeted. She was wrapped tightly inside and out like a prey caught by a spider and hung up.

She retracted her fingers, and the giant dark web brought Ash to a convenient location in front of her. She smiled happily now. Finally, she could talk to her son without anyone getting in the way.

"Since punishment is mother's love, then..." The witch's fingers brushed her son's cheek with such tenderness, but the expression on her face was the exact opposite of gentleness, a terrifying one. "Come and try to feel how much mother loves you?!"

Whether it was clenched fists or flaring palms, she unleashed them on the man as a vent of anger, wearing the same wicked smile she wore as a witch. Amidst the crackling sounds, the flickering flames in their "reburning" state were flung into sparks, seemingly languishing. The already scorched armor began to crackle under such brutality.

Over and over, the man, who remained silent, was struck with pain. It was a scene that would have made even a Buddha close his eyes. Would someone normally do this to their own son?!

"Do you know why I'm so angry, Mom? It's not just because you like those wild women you find outside, and it's not just because you're stupid for giving up your power, but also because you're really too proud of yourself."

However, Catherine Frederica has never been that ordinary person.

"Your so-called journey of emptiness, joy, distress, emotion, and reflection is but a part of the journey I have taken so far. Even the future you speak of is destined to be a continuation of my life!"

There was no intention of using the power of the Witch of Despair to solve the problem in one go. It was as if she was deliberately controlling the power to play with food, and she was ruthless and brutal without any care or mercy, until the person hung on the Internet became motionless.

"But, it was wrong of me to just think about eating you up completely. That would have been too extravagant and wasteful for both you and me."

She was so fierce and violent in the previous second, but when her tone began to become gentle, she became extremely gentle in the next second, and even wiped the wounds on Ash that were caused by her own hands with pity.

"After all, you're the one who can even make someone as self-righteous as my mother admit that she's not as talented and capable as you. Ah... my Ash, how high can you really grow?"

So let's take a softer approach, for example, use your wisdom combined with my methods, and together, wouldn't it be great if the two of us, mother and son, could rule the world?

"Of course, Mom isn't saying you should break up with those Pretty Cures. It's better for a strong man to have a harem as large as possible." Of course, who will actually be by your side is another matter. "Mom is just saying you should take your eyes off them and find your true self."

"How could those outsiders who have no connection with you possibly be a match for those who are connected by blood?"

Dragging the sticky silk thread behind her, Catherine untied the half-broken helmet for him and buried her son's bloody head in her arms with pity. As Puyo caressed him softly and tenderly, only at this moment did she truly look like a mother who pitied her child.

"We will get back together, and then I will love you like a true mother, just as if you were in my womb, waiting to be conceived!"

"Gu..."

Ai Aida squeezed out a hint of unwillingness from her throat.

crazy.

If we were to say what conclusion Ai Aida, who was now bound like a cocoon, not even allowed to see with her eyes or hear with her ears, could come to about Catherine at the last moment, it would only be these two words.

This woman was even crazier than when Yashu was affected and turned into a war-crazed alien Dragon Fang.

So, is this all really inherited from the family?

Since she hadn't officially joined yet, Ai Aida didn't know much about their family affairs and wasn't qualified to comment on them. However, she had clearly made a firm decision not long ago.

If Ash gets into trouble, into a desperate situation like this, I will save him.

Whether it's his body or his heart, I must save it!

So she struggled violently, and her eyes seemed to see her friends through the cocoon thread and the wall of her position.

Rikka, Aguri? Would you lend me your strength as I am now? Then... please!

"..."

Above Catherine's head, which she had not yet noticed, the pure white cocoon hanging on the spider web was shaking and seemed to have undergone some changes, as if it was about to emerge from the cocoon and become a butterfly, and a faint light was shining from it.

"Alright, hurry up and apologize to Mom for all the times you've disobeyed her. Then I'll forgive you even if you killed her~"

Now that he has gone through all this and can talk to his mother one-on-one again, what is Ajou thinking about and actually whispering to himself?

"Hate the sin, not the person... is that right?"

Ash was deeply impressed by the motto his detective friend had taught him. In fact, he wasn't sure if it was appropriate to use it in this situation... but, let me put it this way.

"Thank you, Mom."

Hearing the voice of him who had been silent all this time finally speaking, even Catherine couldn't help but let out a happy hum from her throat.

"Now I am convinced, whether it was twisted or sincere, that at least at one point you did love me as a mother. And for bringing me into this world with my father, allowing me to experience such a brilliant and beautiful life. Thank you for everything so far."

"That's right. You don't really hate me right now, do you? But one day, when you finally stand above everyone else, you'll understand your mother's good intentions and thank me."

After hearing that he really said these words sincerely, Catherine smiled sincerely for the first time.

"But please don't bother with the suggestions that Mom made later."

Crack!

Seeing him raise his head and use his tense arms to break free from the spider web, the smile on Catherine's face froze and slowly disappeared.

"If I were still being held in my mother's arms and fed and acted like a spoiled brat, even though I'm already this old, all my friends and enemies would unite and laugh at me."

"You, you're still saying that. Mom is the one who's trying to persuade you right now. I want to correct the mistakes you made in the past!"

What has happened in the past cannot be erased.

"I don't regret it. It's because of what I've been through that I'm who I am today. So what you're saying is absolutely impossible—Catherine!"

"What did you just...call me?"

The part of him that had always remained, the respect and love he had for his mother, disappeared from Ash's eyes.

All that was left was the desperate and cold attitude he showed towards the witch who wanted to restrict his future, and the look in his eyes as a man who wanted to protect the one he loved behind him.

"Let's put an end to this, for the second and final time."

"Who told you to talk to your mother like that?!" A completely shattered roar erupted from both Catherine and the giant spider behind her, directing a massive web to fly out from behind the spider's web, attempting to capture him once more! "Enough! If even this isn't enough, I'll lovingly place you in my womb and lovingly nurture you once more!"

There was no room for dodging, but unlike the previous time, the knight's body was as flexible as a butterfly and he passed through the gap in the net at an impossible angle. At the same time, as his body rotated, his hands flashed sharply, breaking even the restraints!

"Wh-How is it possible!"

Such flexible movements clearly indicate that he has been able to escape from such restraints from the very beginning. So what he did just now was... voluntary?

"Don't you understand yet? The difference brought about by the power that is constantly flowing out of my body."

Now that Ash has achieved the advancement to the "Flame Knight Reburning" form by absorbing the energy of Cure Heart, he also discovered a surprise, that is, the power from her side is still continuously being channeled into him, which is why he was able to perform idealism with Mana before.

"This pain sort of negates some of my mother's kindness in giving birth to me." Ash, like a martial arts star, slashed his thumb across the tip of his bloodied nose, then assumed a fighting stance. That look in his eyes was definitely not reserved for a man who only knew how to dominate and bully others with his strength. "Honestly, this mother-son argument is surprisingly satisfying!"

“Yaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

The falling sickle collided with the crimson saber, bounced off, then slashed down again, and bounced off again! However, the distance between the two was obviously longer, with the sickle being even further away!

"Are you happy, Mom? Playing together like this!"

Although Mana is now trapped in the cocoon, she is still sending increasingly stronger energy, which makes Ash not worried about her at all, and even feels a sense of anticipation to some extent.

"For a little girl like this, you're actually going to rebel against your mother to this extent—?!"

She was still the Witch of Despair, but under her son's gaze, her face looked like one of despair.

"It's more than that."

"More than that...what do you mean?"

The man didn't say anything, but just raised his finger to the sky, pointing at the butterfly that was breaking free from the cocoon.

"Cure heart—Parthenon!"

The phrase "emerging from a cocoon and emerging as a butterfly" was not used for descriptive purposes, but now that she has gathered the power of the three sacred artifacts sent by her friends, she wears a silver cape and there really is a pair of open wings behind her to help her soar.

This is the miracle among miracles, the Parthenon mode of Heartbeat Light Beauty's strongest power!

“Guwaa ...

As soon as he appeared on the stage, he illuminated the entire venue like a human sun. Both the spider giant behind Catherine and the tragic energy she possessed melted like snow. Even the power that was enough to make the whole world despair could not hide in this light!

"How is it possible—what kind of unreasonable, legendary power is this?!"

She slowly flapped her wings and descended from the sky like a saint. Before Ash could say anything, her gentle chest and arms, slightly wet, embraced him first.

"Great, I'm not late this time... I made it, I finally made it!"

The strongest final form finally appears where she belongs!

"Have you remembered everything, Mana? Then all my efforts are worthwhile."

Ai didn't reply, but just hugged Ash blindly.

I'm sorry, Ash.

When I mentioned dating you before, I actually had a "reason" that I didn't tell you.

I've always been someone who acts faster than I think. I'll lend a hand when someone needs help, and I won't hesitate to make friends. Your mom's description of me as "loose and philanthropic" is true to some extent.

But even I sometimes feel lonely. I have this catchphrase called "my heart flutters," but I've never actually fallen in love with anyone. I really want to know what the throbbing feeling of love everyone talks about is like... because I, too, want to have someone I can be "selfish" with and confide in.

I was so confused and lost, until I saw you, I started to waver. At that time, I thought I might be in love with you.

So what I showed during our previous date was actually the real me...or a part of me. I'm sorry that I was testing you to see your reaction, but I'm really happy that you accepted it all!

The result was the relationship I expected, which was really great!

"How can I, who is like this, really fight against you?"

Ash didn't say anything, but just patted her back gently to comfort her.

But the battle was not over after all. The two men soon let go and faced Catherine again, whose witch costume looked as if it had been burnt.

Looking at his mother like this, Ash felt like laughing for some reason.

"In fact, after knowing all that, I sometimes wonder what would have happened if I had been born in a more ordinary form, just an ordinary person with less abilities."

You said that you had experienced all kinds of exciting life as a time traveler, so after getting tired of it, you wanted to try the life of an ordinary person, raising a family, so you chose my father, who was so ordinary that he couldn't be more ordinary, and gave birth to me.

"Although I probably won't see my friends and the ones I love...will we live more like a family?"

If you didn't have a talent like mine to stimulate your ambition, and you continued to live an ordinary life with your thoughts like that, would our family be able to have an ordinary and normal ending?

At least in the beginning when we had nothing, I did feel your simple and pure motherly love.

"Ash... don't you hate your mother?"

"I hate you." I hate that you gave me the love from my mother and took it away so easily. I hate that you only thought about yourself from beginning to end and destroyed the whole family at will. "But I can't just hate you as an enemy."

and so.

"This attack is not meant simply to defeat you, but to shatter your resentment as well!"

Knowing what Ash was thinking at the moment, Ai Aida had no reason to intervene, and simply sent the power of the Parthenon to his body, where the flames on his fist were burning more and more fiercely.

"Thank you for giving us the opportunity to solve it on our own."

"Ash." A voice whispered close to his ear. "You can go now."

“Ashshshshshshshshshsh!!!”

He ran wildly with a ferocious look on his face, gathered all his remaining strength, raised the scythe above his head and transformed into the god of death again, slashing down towards the direction of light!

"She said!"

knight--

Unsurprisingly, love and light blasted the dark god of death into pieces. The flaming fist continued to move forward until it stopped on the witch's chest. The blooming light illuminated even her darkness!
