So with the help of Ash Showa Rider Power's skill, the shell of the machine was dented visibly to the naked eye, and the teeth-searing mechanical fatigue bending sounds seemed not to come from the machine, but from the screams of Shaback's heart.
Just when the doctor was about to faint from the outrage of this ridiculous man, Ash slapped hard with great force, and the screen above the machine with another slap mark flashed suddenly, and the figure of a young man appeared on it.
"Lord Doon!"
Seeing the figure on the screen, Shaback immediately half-knelt on the ground in fear, while Ash stood unmoved by the side, looking at the person on the screen as if they were looking through the screen from a distance.
"Are you the human named Ash?" The person Shaback respectfully calls "Lord Du En" is the green-haired boy on the screen. He is wearing a white coat and even his voice is so harmless. He looks like a gentle kid next door. It is impossible to associate him with the identity of an evil villain.
"It's me, so what?" It was this situation that made Ash's serious face tighten even further.
Even if they look harmless, Ash can identify them at a glance with his eyes and mind that have seen countless people.
Under this seemingly weak human skin is another twisted soul and inhuman monster!
And a certain aura that is similar to myself, but decisively different...
The "smell" of the evil party!
Chapter 93 The battle between villains
Ash narrowed his eyes, because he didn't like troublesome prevarication, so he decided to "test" it in a more straightforward way.
"Desert King Dunn? It doesn't look like much. It's the opposite of seeing a hundred times."
"Timons, you!"
Shaback, who was loyal to Du En, suddenly widened his eyes. It seemed that although he had joined Desert Apostles, except for the same goal of dealing with Pretty Cure, Ash, who was moving freely, had no intention of expressing respect to his boss.
"He is indeed a very interesting human being." Du En's originally expressionless face on the other side of the screen gradually revealed a smile. After hearing Ash's rather rude reply, it not only did not look angry, but looked at him with interest and continued to ask.
"Aren't you going to take off your mask?"
"Mystery is my selling point. Don't say such unflattering words casually, Lord Du En."
There was no further investigation about the mask. Just when Ash thought that he had gotten through it, Du En suddenly spoke again.
"You are going to join us Desert Apostles, but you are 100% pure human, right?"
"Of course." Ash folded his hands in front of his chest, and the smile on his face gradually transformed into a superficial smile. "I can't really be a human anymore. Otherwise, what do you think I am? A star-devouring slime that can take over other people's bodies at will?"
Of course, you must not show any weakness when facing a guy like this, otherwise if you show a little timidity, the opponent will tear off the disguise and tear it to pieces.
The kid in white on the screen had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu, which reminded him of the leader of Gurongi. He seemed to be a troublesome existence in every sense of the word, and...
Not happy!
Encountering such a being "similar" to himself made Ash very unhappy!
"It wouldn't be bad if you were like that." Saying words with unclear meaning, Du En turned his attention to Dr. Sabaku beside him. "Shaback, is everything he said true?"
"Yes, he did show great ability in the battle with Pretty Cure."
"Isn't this strange?" Du En nodded his chin, his face full of confusion. "If you are really human, are you serious about helping us invade your own planet and turn everything on it into gravel?"
"Hmph, I'm an egoist who doesn't care about anyone but myself." Ash snorted and made a disdainful sound. "Besides, if the earth is going to be destroyed by you anyway, it would be wise to join the winner's side in advance, right?"
Besides, this earth is not my earth, and it will not lend me its power to turn me into Ultraman or something. In that case, why should I care so much?
"I'm not Guardian Angel. I have a mission as an angel who must protect the earth. I don't want to be destroyed together with the earth."
But before that, I don't take it for granted that the winner is Desert Apostles. After all, it's up to me to decide who the winner is! '
"Do you think this is the right answer? This is really interesting..."
"There are clearly legendary warriors like Pretty Cure in this world? How about just trusting them like other people on Earth?"
"I'm sorry, I don't have the habit of placing all my hopes only on some little girls." When it came to the key point, Ash continued without blushing. "Hiding behind so-called heroes like this, pretending not to know anything and waiting for the sky to fall for them to hold on to, I can't bear to do that."
"So you would rather be their enemy?"
"Yes, I would rather be their enemy to prove that I am right!"
Ash's face was filled with a certain kind of proud smile. From an outsider's point of view, it was probably because Timons was complacent and defeated Pretty Cure, and showed weakness and ridicule to the legendary warrior. However, only Ash himself knew that he was proud of more than that, and there were other things besides this.
Duen, who was floating in the universe, looked directly at the eyes under Ash's mask with his own eyes, as if he wanted to see through his heart, which gradually became deeper.
In fact, when Ash was observing Du En, the boy in white outside the screen was also observing him with the same interested eyes.
And what did Du En see from Ash? If you really see something...
It's probably the same thing, something that is paradoxical to myself, right?
The staring eyes did not leave, and Ash returned the same unwavering look. Du En raised his hand and pointed his index finger at Ash's heart, as if they were not talking to each other at a distance through the screen, but standing in front of each other and talking.
"Timons, I remember that you were curious about my power, weren't you?"
"If that's the case, how about seeing it for yourself?"
After finishing speaking, a dark force actually passed through the screen. There seemed to be an indescribable existence flowing in the dark light like clouds, exuding an evil atmosphere all the time. This force surrounded Ash as if waiting for something.
Even ordinary people, no matter how brave they are, will feel fear and want to escape when faced with such inhuman fear and evil. This is human nature.
"Lord Du En!" Shaback, who had been silent on the side, quickly came to remonstrate. "Such transformation, yes."
Du En stared at Ash, but paid no attention to Shaback, as if he was not his subordinate but just a pebble on the roadside.
"I think it's better as a human being to think about it rationally and carefully."
Will Ash be afraid?
The answer was of course no. He stepped forward without fear and grabbed this dark power with all his strength!
"We have no intention of rejecting this great gift, right?"
[As long as you are not the same as the last world... don't worry, I will be with you. ]
Ha, in this case, there's nothing to worry about, right?
After receiving the system's reply, Ash felt more relieved now. The veins on the back of his hands stretched, and he kept tightening the force that was constantly eroding his palms, and allowed Shaback to let it penetrate into his body while looking at the monster in his eyes.
Give me a show of strength? Who do you think you are scaring? Do you think I have never seen the ultimate darkness at the level of the Emperor of the Universe?!
"Stop looking down on people, Doon!"
[Absorbing Dark Echo...]
The system started to operate, and Ash also truly felt the power of Desert King Dun!
His right hand kept clenching it tightly, Ash squatted on the ground and endured the pain that filled his body without saying a word.
Chapter 94: My woman!
"Timons, you are fine."
Looking at the other Ash who was half-kneeling on the ground due to pain, the darkness surrounding him became thicker and thicker, and his head slowly lowered, Du En let out a slightly surprised sigh.
"For the most human being, your courage and recklessness amaze me in equal measure."
"Unfortunately, this is not a reward. It is impossible for the human body to withstand this level of dark power."
Du En spoke cruel words in an innocent tone, as if issuing a "death" sentence to Ash.
Although the two of them communicated very well on the surface, Du En did not like Ash at all, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was very annoying.
As the saying goes, same-sex repels, of course, this does not refer to gender. Just as Ash can feel the similarity from Du En, Du En also rarely feels the "same kind" breath from Ash.
As a ruler who acts completely according to his own pleasure and controls people and nature as he pleases, Du En can completely desertify the planet where life exists without any worries. Even if such an act that harms others and does not benefit himself has no benefit to him, he is still happy to do so.
So it can imagine that if Ash suddenly gets angry and plans to rebel, it will probably bring unnecessary trouble to itself.
So it planned to strike first.
"I was born from the universe, as Desert King, and as the strongest Desertrian, my natural mission is to turn everything in the universe into a planet of dust." Facing Ash, who he had regarded as a "dead man", Du En suddenly changed his tone and began to narrate his past.
"Since it is a mission, I will happily complete it." Du En recounted the true stories of the past in a calm voice. "I will look for any planet with life, no matter how they live, I will extract all intellectual existence Heart Flower, make it wither and turn into lifeless crystal, and then turn everything else into gravel."
"Of course, no one has ever resisted me. The universe is very big." As he spoke, Du En seemed to recall an unforgettable episode, and his tone became excited. "Powerful super robots, people with superpowers who can fight in space, huge space empire battleships, and terrifying devouring bugs. Now that I think about it, they are really powerful guys."
"But after I killed them all, I took out Heart Flower and disappeared together with the other life on their planet."
Half squatting on the ground, with darkness flowing around his body, Ash's body trembled slightly, and he took out something from an angle that Du En couldn't see.
"I've seen things you humans would never believe. I've watched warships burst into flames off the edge of the constellation Orion. I've watched C-rays shine in the darkness near the Tannhäuser Gate."
"I thought everything was like this, that all these moments would eventually disappear with time, like tears disappearing in the rain."
Du En spread his arms as if to embrace the universe in front of him.
"Until I came to this planet and I was defeated."
"After coming to this planet called Earth, I was defeated by the legendary warrior [Cure Flower (Flower Angel)] decades ago and sealed in the depths of the universe!" Du En, who clenched his fists, seemed to be even more excited when he was clearly talking about his history of defeat.
"What's going on! Cure Flower's power is obviously not much stronger than those existences, so why was I defeated by her!"
"So I want to return to Earth to see her again. This time I must defeat her and torture her. It will be fun to watch her in pain!"
"Really, then it seems that we do have the same purpose..."
What!!?
Ash's voice made Du En look with wide eyes at the guy who was gradually standing up from the darkness. One eye was dyed red by the power, and countless gray sand fell from Ash's cuffs, looking like Orphnoch who was about to die.
"I lost myself temporarily because of too much darkness. I won't make the same mistake again!"
Soothing the restless darkness in his body, suppressing the things contained in his body one by one, Ash did not let himself return to madness.
I would rather be mentally ill and go crazy on my own initiative than to be influenced by something I don't know and do some weird things!
However, it didn't matter, because this time, he still won.
With the help of the system, only the required part is absorbed as Dark Echo, instead of injecting it all into the body, and the remaining dark energy...
[Ash, I have balanced it for you, you can export the excess part. ]
Put the seal that you took out in advance with both hands on your chest, and cover your chest completely.
Following a burst of magical light, even Shaback on the side couldn't help but cover his face with his hands. The transformation of his body made Ash's eyes widen in an instant, and on his body, the dark energy with nowhere to go returned to the seal taken from Duen.
The two powerful forces combined with each other, coupled with the guidance flowing from the belt, the seal gradually changed into another appearance.
On the seal, the originally pale marble veins were dyed with the color of gold. On the ink-black body, a scarlet spider relief appeared as if it was activated, and the two raised compound eyes flashed with two rays of light, one red and one blue.
"In this way, one of the formulas for victory has been collected..."
Putting down the seal on his chest, Ash endured the pain of half of his body being torn apart and at the same time forced a ferocious smile on Du En's face.
"Lord Du En, I gratefully accepted these powers as wages! Don't ask for them back."
"..."
How should I put it, even though I am supposed to be a pleasant person, I still want to hit him through the network cable.
"Actually, I also want to let Pretty Cure experience the color of pain. After all, it should be quite interesting, so I said that the purpose is the same." Twisting his neck, Ash cast a provocative look at him. "But please listen to me!"
"I'm not interested in the matter between you and Cure Flower, but the three... four Precures are my prey. In other words, they are my women!"
Ash pointed in the direction of Du En with the gesture of "Dissent Ali", his entire face shrouded in darkness with only two bright eyes left, and suddenly shot a murderous gaze towards Du En.
"If you dare to move and plan to treat them lightly, I won't show mercy, Du En!"
"That's it!"
Shaback on the side was stunned. He couldn't understand at all how Ash dared to say such threatening words to Du En, who was far stronger than him.
Don't you want to die? Don't you??
"Puff, puff... Hahaha!" Suddenly, the clear and gentle voice of a child from Du En burst out into a loud and happy laugh.
"Interesting, really interesting!"
"What's going on? I'm obviously a human, but I'm so arrogant that I can control everything. I'm obviously a human, but I'm more like a devil than me! Hahahahaha!"
Floating in a zero-gravity environment, Du En held his belly and flew up, laughing until tears almost came out.
"Hahahahaha, this kind of farce, please come and make it stop, hahahahaha!!"
Desert King Dunn's laughter came from the other end of the universe through the loudspeaker, constantly echoing in this room.
