Is he happy?
There is no doubt that it is happiness to spend a birthday party that you have never imagined with your friends, your favorite and respected heroes.
Meeting someone whom I hadn't seen for a long time, and who I thought I would never see again, was naturally moved by Mugen in my heart. Not to mention that my parents, who had never looked down upon me well because of my personality, proudly said that it was because he felt proud.
Such happiness is something that Ash has not dreamed about for a long time. It is a beauty that has never been experienced in the past.
Because it's so beautiful, people can't help but think it's a dream.
That's right.
This is a dream!
"I never had it. Happy ending is the ending for good people, not mine!"
Signal Axe cut deep cracks into the tiles on the ground, and the place where they were smashed into the ground was filled with hot steam. There was no scene of blood gushing out. The headless body that fell to the ground and the head that rolled down were directly transformed into the original abandoned plaster model of the doll.
"Yes, although I have forgotten a lot, I am sure that I have never experienced such a good thing."
"So all of this is just a stage play performed for me based on the character in my memory."
Ash loosened his weapons and surrounded the surroundings. Everyone turned a blind eye to all this and still clapped their hands to offer him their most sincere blessings.
"Happy birthday!"
"Ash, happy birthday!"
"Happy birthday!"
"Thank you."
But this unfamiliar feeling of happiness made Ash feel sick.
A stick with flashing deep blue at both ends appeared in Ash's hand. Ultimate Fighting Instrument, who had once been greedy for it, quickly spun it several times in his hand. Ash shouted and swept it away bit by bit, flattening all the people who came close to him, and sweeping away the area around him in one breath.
This is a false "past" world, which means it is completely derived from Ash's imagination. In other words, what he thinks now is whatever he wants.
No normal person would feel good about "killing" his past friends.
"Ha, no way!"
The left hand is X Darts, and the right hand is Orb Slasher, wielding two indestructible short sharp blades. Wherever the rainbow streamer dances under Ash, even space and time are cut in half!
But, it's not enough!
"Destroy them all!"
Full Power Full Burst Cannon is in hand, and the power contained in each shot will completely blow away the direction he is facing. Ash blasts a few shots and then throws it aside, and then pulls out Gao Striker Rod from his side. E came, Ash held the weapon like a billiard cue as a spear at his waist, roared and charged, stringing together several people in the direction he was facing and nailing them to the wall.
"Pah, pah~"
The sound of shattering plaster and plastic rings in my ears. There are doll models like those in clothing stores, plaster models from the art academy, life-size dolls made of wood and even scarecrows, but there are no real people.
Ash crushed a piece of plaster BOY that had rolled onto the sole of his foot. He could no longer maintain the self-deprecating smile on his face, and his anger began to show in his heart.
Ash raised his head and turned left and right. Everyone was still congratulating him and clapping their hands, as if the audience sitting in the arena were "applauding" for the atrocities of the gladiators on the field.
"Ash, congratulations."
"Why are you unhappy? Everyone is here to congratulate you."
"Yes, Simailu, Simai——"
"Shut up!"
The veins on Ash's forehead popped up, and Hijack Knuckle with his right hand struck directly with traces of ink splashing, crushing his head.
"What are you doing? Aren't you heroes? Then why are you standing still? Stop me, stop me as a villain!"
He pinned the opponent to the ground in front of everyone, punched him one after another, and kept swinging his fists until not even the tiniest bit of powder could be found.
The long sword made of soul steel was also waved by Ash. He let out an inhuman roar under his expression that gradually began to collapse. He ran and cut everyone close to him in half.
"Some of you guys have died, many people have died!"
The knife that cuts at them is also like cutting at themselves. Denying them as heroes is also denying their own past and what their hearts are.
Even if you say it nicely and recognize the truth, you still have illusions in your heart.
But he was destined to be disappointed. The hero Ash was looking forward to did not appear. No one stopped him, and no one responded to him.
"Don't you have any feelings? Why don't you understand?!"
"Fake!"
Cut off the head of the person in front of you.
"Doll!"
Cut off the body of the person in front of you.
"If you can't do that, don't cover their faces!"
The hands transformed into dragon claws grabbed a very familiar person, stabbed the opponent's abdomen with both hands and tore them in half from the middle.
But still no bright red color came out.
"How long are you going to insult me...!"
Anger reaching the extreme brought calmness. Purple light floated out of his eyes again. Ash could vaguely see the darkness surging under his body. He lifted the long sword tied to his arm and inserted it into the Gatling on his left hand to combine, allowing the energy of the two to be linked.
"Ultimate holy sword! Super powerful reamer combination! MAXIMUM MODE!"
Pulling the trigger, a deafening gunshot rang out, and the enhanced light bullets ejected from the Gatling gun smashed everyone else to pieces.
Everyone was speechless when they saw Rambo cosplaying on the screen, saying "Ahhhhhhhhhh!!" and shooting with a machine gun with one hand.
"He gave up his dream and woke up from it..."
However, he woke up in a way that no one wanted to see.
Or, looking at Ash on the screen who was completely blinded by malice, it was difficult to determine whether he really woke up.
So someone took action.
"I want to go!"
"Mana——!"
Rikka pulled on Ai's sleeve to prevent her from leaving, and Rikka's hands were also trembling constantly.
She wanted to let love save Ash, but she was afraid that love would be hurt. She was afraid and unsure whether she should do this.
"Ash The way he looks now, he probably won't recognize you at all! Mana, if you go too, you will be killed together like that!"
"In that case I will go even more!"
Ai resolutely shook off Rikka's hand. Her face did not have the expression of someone who was about to die. Instead, the confident smile belonging to Aida Mana Student Council President hung on her face again.
"Rikka, do you remember? Ash He now has Jikochu Progenitor in his body! But I am different from him. I believe in love, and I believe that the power of love can melt the walls of the self."
And as I have said so much before, if we back down here, wouldn't everything be in vain?
"I'm sorry, but this time I'm not doing it for self-satisfaction. I promise everyone that Cure Heart will definitely bring him back!"
Words of love are full of power, firm and without a trace of confusion.
"Otherwise, he will really forget us. I will not let Ash become our memories!"
Trust me!
Ai, who was holding his shoulders, looked a little pale, but his energy was several times that of before. At this time, Cure Heart's words were full of inexplicable power.
She jumped up and jumped into the screen.
Under the combined bombardment of countless enhanced weapons, his past home could no longer maintain its original state. He stood in the ruins, and the memories in his mind exploded like bubbles and were kneaded together. The last flash passed and became more fragmented.
"I'm going to kill the guy who tricked me, I'm going to kill..."
I want to kill, who?
Ash threw the weapon aside and sat on the ground helplessly.
Chapter 147 The truth behind the blackening is...
Ash leaned against the ruins, holding his forehead and feeling lost.
He was so angry that he lost his mind. He originally wanted to find the guy who was playing tricks on him, kill him in the most cruel way, and then kill everyone here, and even burn the city to ashes.
But as I thought about this, I was controlled by anger and lost my bottom line. When I was thinking about killing Ai and the others, my mind automatically replaced their faces with the faces of the dolls that I tore into pieces.
Ash suddenly "awoke".
The calmness brought about by extreme anger was like a cold water shower on his head, which made him really start to think seriously, and the great malice he had towards the "happiness" in his memories also quickly subsided.
It was obviously a very simple matter, all he needed to do was wake up, but in the end he lost control again.
"I messed up again..."
"System, are you here?"
[I'm here. ]
A virtual screen that was more familiar than my parents' faces popped up.
"I... I seem to have become less like myself. To be clear, I just need to let myself be defeated by the heroes of this world. As always, but I... but me!"
Recalling what he had done, Ash felt a dull pain between his eyebrows and his stomach.
It is true that I pursue living as I please, but that should be the original intention of Ash.
It should not be the result of letting the rampant ego and desires influence you.
Suddenly, Ash covered his chest and kept grasping in vain with his palms, but no matter how hard he tried, he could only catch his collar.
He remembered things that had been forgotten in the past, and things in this world that he had subconsciously ignored.
"There's something inside me."
He didn't believe that anything would happen to him. He thought that with all the storms and waves he had experienced in countless worlds, it was impossible for a cricket King of Jikochu to do anything to him.
But in fact, he was wrong. Regardless of whether he was affected or not, he was harmed by his own "arrogance", and Pretty Cures also suffered because of him.
[I did not kill it. The result of my judgment is that if it dies in your body, the Evil Thought Energy that explodes in one breath in its dying counterattack will cause even more unimaginable bad consequences to your essence and the world. ]
[I originally thought that he could not make any trouble in Dark Echo, but I didn't expect that he got into the dial and escaped without affecting your spirit. ]
[When it transforms later, it secretly awakens Core Medal in your body to carry out insinuations together. Even if you can't control you directly, as long as you continue to stir up the Dark Echo in your body, you will...]
"Why?"
Ash completely collapsed on the ground, as if he had lost all strength.
[I told you, but you just didn't listen. ]
The words on the virtual panel are constantly distorting. If the system had a mouth, it would be sighing now.
"Ash!"
Glancing up, Ash looked back listlessly.
"Cure Heart, are you here to kill me?"
"Ash..."
Ash, who had been killing like a madman before, became quiet now, as if he had exhausted all his energy in the previous "massacre", but the difference was that this was the first time she saw Ash looking so decadent.
"No, I'm here to save you."
Ai took advantage of the victory and continued.
"There is a dark Jikochu Progenitor in your body! He is the guy who turned Regina's father Poker King into a selfish King!"
"I know."
Ash showed little interest in matters concerning him, neither nodding nor shaking his head.
"Ash, you have always said that you pursue the shining and fighting of heroes with your own will, but this has all been distorted and changed!"
"..."
"You block that dial, block the so-called games of my friends, Rikka, Arisu, and Makoto! But this is not your game at all!"
