In other words, he lost to himself.
208
Chapter 208 I can't do anything...
Ash, lost?
In the memories of those scenes spent with Ash, the beautiful moment when he saved her from the monster body was finally fixed.
The inner self and the outer self are constantly in denial.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Ash has never shown timidity in front of them once. I can't imagine him losing!
He is the king of the Black Night Kingdom!
He is Kamen Rider!
He is the one who has been guiding us and helping us, how could he lose!?
"No, it's entirely possible."
Catherine, who was stroking the wound on his chest that was difficult to heal and wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at the unacceptable Haruka in front of him with a little pity.
"Do you trust him too much? But in the end, all he has is a human heart."
"That's right. He has been bearing the burden that symbolizes your trust alone, right?"
But it doesn't matter, I will help him become a new person from the inside out, and become a high-status being like his mother.
"You Pretty Cures always take love and kindness for granted. Such laws are not applicable in all worlds~"
How could it be?
Yao, who was in great pain, suddenly thought of Ash's extremely troubled tone when he said the name "mother" when he looked at Catherine, and how he looked extremely sad afterwards.
If only I could comfort him in time, if I could be braver and stand with him.
If I hadn't taken it for granted that everything would be safe with him around, if Pretty Cure could be stronger and become an existence that could support his soul!
Will he be able to come out stronger?
Compared to Haruno Haruka who was extremely distressed, Catherine had no desire to look at her at all. He raised his hand and took out Satan Saber, which had transformed into a wand form, and drew mysterious symbols in the air with the "desperate energy" that was inexplicably compatible with him, until this absolute dark power born from the depths of his heart was completely integrated with his body!
"Unexpected and simple."
The "power of darkness" in this world is indeed pure and powerful, but when it comes to the degree of evil, it probably can't compare to me~?
Catherine, who came out of "Despair", wore a gorgeous dark gothic dress. When she looked at her new outfit that symbolized the "witch" with interest, she had already felt the power that was enough to reconstruct the world with her own thoughts.
"It's really a beautiful dress. I don't hate it~ So from now on, I will be the new Witch of Despair."
When I said I wanted to be a witch, I wasn't lying.
"It just so happens that I know all the arrangements of Dyspear~ Then, let me fulfill this mission on your behalf."
As for Pretty Cure who saves the world? Hahaha ~ Sorry, it seems that this time Zi Gongxiang's story will end with the tragic failure of the good guys and the triumph of the bad guys in "Badend". Let those children who burst into tears after watching the TV show complain to the TV station, hahaha!
Catherine, who was in a good mood and humming a tune, was about to take the first step to make the next arrangement, but a small force stopped her steps.
"Give it back!"
Pulling on Catherine's clothes, Haruka, who had no strength left, could only use this most primitive method to stop her.
"Give me back Ash!"
"What do you mean by giving it back to you? Ash was originally mine!"
The excessive power gap easily shattered the girl's mind and threw her to the ground at will. The woman looked at the girl on the ground with disgust in her eyes.
"It was you thieves who stole him from me, otherwise he could have grown up according to my ideas."
I quite like this dress. Who told you to touch it!
"Gu..."
"I'll tell you."
Looking at the wailing girl on the ground, a new idea came to the mind of the Witch of Despair, and she took out the princess perfume bottle that had been stolen from her before.
"Do you know why I said before that you can never realize Princess's dream?"
I don't intend to kill you, I want to make your beautiful heart experience the same desperate reversal after witnessing the reversal of Ash!
"That is my thing!"
Haruka reluctantly stood up and wanted to take the perfume bottle back, but it was knocked out of her hand with a scream.
So next, in front of Yao, Catherine began to tighten his grip on Princess Perfume little by little, causing the bottle body, which was eroded by the energy of despair, to make cracking sounds.
"No!"
"That's it!"
Click——!
Not even giving any time for fantasy, kneeling in front of the girl with her mouth wide open, the only possibility of turning defeat into victory turned into crisp fragments in the hands of the new Witch of Despair. Even the stars symbolizing hope in it fell from her fingers and turned into colorless glass shards.
"You know? Do you know why in those fairy tales the good guys always win in the end?"
Suddenly approaching the girl who was looking blank, Catherine tipped her chin up to force her to look at him.
"That's because all fairy tales are written by good people, and bad people are too lazy to write this kind of children's literature."
"So reality is completely opposite to fairy tales! Good people always lose and bad people always win! Those so-called truths that justice must win are just tools for good people to numb themselves and underage brats like you!"
"Including the fairy tale of 'Princess of Flowers' that you are watching, no matter your appearance, talent or status, you have nothing to do with a noble existence like Princess!"
"Now that you have lost even this last link in strength, you can't do anything, let alone achieve anyone!"
"Dreams are something you can only do in your dreams!"
Looking at that cute and pretty face, it gradually turned into a color of despair as he spoke, and Catherine's expression became more distorted with the joy in his heart!
"I... I..."
After Catherine let go, his whole body fell to the ground as softly as if his bones had been ripped out. Yao, who was curled up, faced Ash who was wrapped in darkness.
"I'm sorry Ash... I... I can't do anything..."
"Hahahaha, GOOD!!!"
Yes, this is what I want to see!
"With just a few stories from the past, I, Catherine Frederica, have brought you such a level of despair~"
"How's it going, everyone?"
209
Chapter 209: The destruction of the world.
"What the hell happened!"
In the sudden burst of light, Pretty Cure discovered that they had all been separated, and when they finally found peace with each other again, something big seemed to have happened to the entire Hope Kingdom that they had no way of understanding.
Although Flower Castle fell into silence due to the enemy's calculations, they finally liberated the remaining three castles. Judging from the current situation, it seems that the light has suppressed the dark part, and they are only the last step away from liberating the entire world.
But now, when Ash, Haruno Haruka and that Catherine were nowhere to be found, they witnessed the dark miasma of despair, Mugen, expanding and gradually filling the entire world.
"No, it's useless!"
Kaito Minami struggled to exert its purification ability. Although it could purify these miasmas, it was only a drop in the bucket in the face of Mugen's expanding darkness.
"Why are these desperate energies so huge?"
Obviously we are just one step away from defeating Dysdark!
"Well done, Pretty Cures."
Catherine suddenly appeared above the world in the form of a huge illusion, condescendingly making a clapping sound to the girls below.
"I really want you to tell me how I feel after working so hard but falling short in the end~"
"Are you, that Catherine!?"
The girls who recognized each other's entity immediately also noticed the changes in her attire and temperament.
"Why you, where is that Dyspear? Where are Yao and Ash?"
"Now I am the new Witch of Despair."
He told the truth that shocked them without any hesitation. Especially when those vertical pupils were suddenly stared at, the girls were even more chilled.
"I don't intend to just let you fall into eternal sleep like Dyspear. As for you, do you ask your friends?"
I didn't plan to kill the original heroine, but now she is still crying in despair.
It is indeed easy for such submissive characters to easily get their blood pumping up with their mood, but it is also easy enough to break their defenses and make them despair, as long as they have a glimpse of the cruel reality!
"They won't come back. Instead, let me love you."
"You lied!"
The most angry Towa condensed his anger into a physical fireball and threw it into the sky.
"They will not lose. Even if you become the new Witch of Despair, don't think that Pretty Cure will let you do whatever you want!"
"Sorry, I can just do whatever I want."
Catherine, who was obviously just an illusion, caught the fireball in their surprise and threw it back with his backhand.
"And no one can stop me~ Hee hee hee hahahaha!!!"
Amidst the absolutely shameless ridicule, the screaming girls were knocked to the ground by the counterattacking fireball. When they got up again, they found that the figure of the other party had disappeared, and only more darkness was covering them.
"Oops!"
Not only the miasma, they also noticed that the entire space came to life, especially the thorny tentacles made of desperate energy that twisted and snaked to another world, where was... Earth?!
Could it be that this Catherine took the power of Witch of Despair from Dyspear and is now taking action against the entire world? She is obviously different from pure dark creatures like Dyspear. Isn't she also a human being? Why would she do such an extreme thing!
There are also Ash and Haruno Haruka. It is impossible for them to stand by and watch this kind of thing. Is it really...
"Damn it!"
They were completely incomprehensible and were even ridiculed by the enemy. They couldn't even find the reason and could only roar incompetently and furiously.
"Who can explain it?"
"Kirara, Nan! Everyone - Puff...!"
Puff, who was running at full speed with a face full of panic, accidentally stepped on his long hair, which rolled all the way to the palm of Towa's hand. The elf was so anxious that he stammered and said quickly.
"It's not good, it's not good Puff!"
"Yao and Ash just now - I was too scared - so Puff never came out..."
"Calm down, tell us what you have to say slowly and clearly."
"Yes, I heard the conversation between them after I hid secretly..."
That is indeed a "reality" that is too detached for the "fantasy" dwellers like elves.
"!?"
Suddenly, a circus in fancy clothes pops up out of nowhere, imprisoning random passers-by and turning them into scary monsters. At this time, Princesss wearing beautiful skirts will jump out to fight them. The final result is often that hope defeats the desperate Happyend.
Although it sounds ridiculous, this kind of thing is already used to Dream Beach City people who live in Pretty Cure who really exist. There are even many people who are looking forward to seeing the beautiful and active figures of these girls.
But even this Mugen fantasy scene is still a bit insignificant compared to today's earth-shattering reality.
"What the hell is this!"
The energy of despair that was so full that it materialized turned into dark clouds, blocking the light above the head. Countless stinging thorns opened up the land and spread rapidly. All the people who came close had their hearts stolen in an instant and became innocent human batteries supplying the energy of despair.
The terrified and screaming citizens could do nothing but run away. Faced with despair, they only hated their parents for not giving them extra legs to run faster.
Their prayers of hope are being swallowed up by overwhelming despair, and their cries for help are unheard.
Why, why didn't Pretty Cure appear?
