Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

Hearing Goki's slightly angry voice, Ash crossed his arms and shook his head.

"No, that's not right. It looks like he can't wait and plans to join the game early."

Looking at the desert demon showing off its might above his head, Ash's eyes narrowed slightly under his helmet in a mocking arc. Behind him, huge plant branches intertwined and combined with each other, gradually taking shape, and a huge flower bud emerged from a place similar to the top of his head.

"Zijera isn't an outsider, but a creature native to Earth. It's more like a creature specially prepared by Earth to provide hospice care for humanity."

"When the darkness of alien invasion approaches Earth, Zijella will bloom. Hum, that's the perfect match."

"Wait, that!" Lei, who had been maintaining a strong state amidst her timidity, was stunned after hearing what Ash said. She quickly ran to his side and pointed at the huge plant "monster" above his head and asked.

"You mean, that giant plant is... that cute little flower, the Zijella?!"

"sodayo."

Looking at Zijera who was dragging the roots buried deep in the ground and waving a whip slowly approaching the desert demon, the girl pulled the soft flesh on her face as if to confirm whether she was dreaming. It was not until she felt the pain that she held her cheeks and screamed out in disbelief.

“Eh….Ehhhhhhhhhhh————!?”

Lei, I am surprised that she can thrive now, and it is all because of your love.

The desert demon, which had no intelligence and was only a "sweeping robot", instinctively wanted to start from the surroundings and turn the entire earth into a desert. It was at this moment that the voice from Zijera attracted its attention. As if it was a provocation, the emerald green whip kept whipping the demon's back, making a loud sound.

The battle between the giant monsters began at this moment in front of the girls who were looking at them in disbelief.

Chapter 157: Big Monster Fighting Evolution

It slowly turned around and looked at the Qijiela in front of it, which was of the same size as itself. It was determined to destroy "green" and of course it would not let go of the largest plant currently existing on the earth. After letting out a terrifying roar, the desert demon turned the surrounding land into gray with every step, and rushed into Qijiela with unparalleled impact.

"------"

It was as if a silent roar filled the hearts of every person below, who were as small as ants. The huge impact force almost knocked Qi Jiela over.

I say almost because Zijera's roots are deeply rooted in the ground. Unless a giant of light or a super robot passes by, it is not an easy task to uproot her.

The vines that shot out from all parts of the body pierced into the open space on the side. The composite vines that rotated and coiled like human muscles made a tight sound, and Qijiela, who stopped the opponent abruptly, raised the whip that stabbed out from under his body and lashed it hard at the desert demon. With the sharp sound of breaking through the air, he directly whipped it back several steps.

"What? Is this the set of O-Bao's Brother O-La Monster War?!"

Looking at the grand scene of the two monsters fighting above their heads, Erika couldn't help but complain.

However, what she didn't notice was that a small pale yellow flower quietly began to bloom in the cracks of the bricks at her feet.

Zijera is at most a resurrected plant. Although she once defeated a giant, her strength cannot be compared with that of the desert demon on the earth who has the power to cleanse the surface of the earth.

But at this moment, she was confronting the desert demon for a while, because she was not fighting as a plant!

As some invisible force began to be injected into Zijera's body from the roots, more branches and vines emerged from deep underground, wrapping the already plant body even thicker and straighter. Gorgeous green leaves also grew near the buds on the top of the head. In the body composed of countless green plants that supported the buds, energy flowed, and the reddish-yellow energy core beat subtly like the beating of a heart.

The plant monster at this time is more like the "Biolante" next door than the original prototype Zigela.

"Yes, after all, Zijella is originally a plant native to another Earth, and it is currently fighting against alien invaders who intend to destroy the Earth."

Ash, observing the changes, muttered to himself and came to a conclusion.

As a being similar to Gaia and Alaya, it makes sense that it can consider this flower as a part of itself and give it power.

So what kind of answer will this time give to the choice that determines the future?

The battle was not over yet. The desert demon, which was whipped to the point of staggering, suddenly emitted a dark beam of light from its head, and the places where Zijera was exposed to the beam began to wither visibly.

"I raised her—I won't let you bully her!"

Seeing that Zijera was shaking its stems and leaves in pain, Lei jumped up as if she had made up her mind, and swung her fist at the Desert Apostle who was about to launch a wave. The insignificant punch hit the monster's head like a needle hitting a wheat spike.

What is even more surprising is that this behavior of an ant shaking a tree ended up with Lei punching hard and successfully repelling the desert demon, which was much larger than herself, and the withered light fell into the sky.

"I knew it, Lei. Although you look weak, you possess talents that others can't match! What do you think... huh?"

When no one answered, Ash made a puzzled sound.

Where's Cain?

Taking advantage of Lei's attack to help him and release the control, Qijiela also showed his power instantly. Several vine tentacles pulled out from the side of his body opened up with sharp tooth-like structures on the top, bypassed Lei in front of him, and firmly bit the limbs of the desert demon.

"Wow."

But Lei seemed to be very frightened and surprised that the plants she raised had turned into such a terrible appearance.

"—"

It seemed to want to tear the tentacles apart, but it couldn't pull them apart no matter how hard it tried.

The rest was naturally to continue pursuing the victory. More nozzles opened from all over Zijera's body, and thick yellow liquid with a stench of sulfur spurted out. When it sprayed onto the desert demon's body, an extremely strong smell of burning instantly emerged. The pitch-black armor layer on its surface was instantly corroded under the attack of these liquids.

"It looks like that black monster has found a flaw. Moonlight, what should we do next?"

"Next, we probably need to gather our strength..."

When Lei and the other two girls were discussing about landing, Ash suddenly stood in front of them with a heavy sense of oppression, forcing them to turn into fighting postures.

"Ash--Timmons, are you trying to stop us again this time?!"

"Do not."

As he said that, Ash suddenly turned around to face the desert demon above his head, leaving his back to the Pretty Cure girls. Just when they were confused for a moment, he pulled out the Seal of Sin from his waist.

"You showed me some pretty good stuff, so in return, let me give you some killers."

Then, he stamped the gene display screen with the seal in his hand.

"[Charge]!"

Ash then pushed the red reinforcement units on both sides of the driver towards the center. As the dot matrix on the display screen jumped violently, the muzzle in the center of the breastplate opened and blocked, producing violent sparks, and dazzling blue lightning flashed between the four wide-open compound eyes.

"No matter who it is, no one can restrain me."

Under the guidance of his linked hands, the lightning power shot out from the compound eyes and concentrated in front of the muzzle. As the energy circulation device deep in the muzzle started to operate, a red light was emitted. In his cupped palms, a plasma ball turned from blue to purple, flowing with extremely unstable deep purple lightning, and began to slowly gather unparalleled terrifying power.

"Disappear into the horizon of events..."

The energy of Scarlet Timmons manifests as plasma, then undergoes intense compression to the level of a miniature black hole. This unique energy can even ignore the enemy's defenses and corrode them. This move is called...

"Concentrate the black hole cannon and fire."

"[Scarlet Destream Finish]!"

Following this calm tone, Ash launched the energy body from his right hand. Even the sound was absorbed during the launch process. Deep cracks covered the areas around it as it passed. The dark sphere slammed into the body of the desert demon with a momentum that almost tore the surrounding space apart.

Qi Jiela on the side had already retracted his tentacles and shrank his body backwards.

The huge body was lifted up by the tiny ball, and the desert demon didn't even have time to roar before the entire body was distorted by the explosion that was magnified in an instant.

“…”

Lei, Wu Mu and Lily, who were still conscious, looked at the result of Ash's attack. The remains of the desert demon were blown away by the wind like a sand castle that collapsed at the touch of a button. For a moment, they seemed to be speechless.

"It seems that what I did was still a little immature."

I don’t understand. I don’t understand at all—

"you....."

Didn't you say that you are already our enemy?

Why, do this again now?

Really....you're making it completely confusing!!!

Chapter 158 Provocation and Choice

"Ash—you!"

Of course, the most surprised person at this moment was the stunned Dark Pretty Girl.

"You put your own people—"

"No, no, this kind of monster can't be considered one of our own, right?"

Seeing Ash shaking his finger, the Dark Pretty Girl quickly got the answer after a not-so-intense mental struggle.

"Yeah, yes, yes..."

After all, it was Lord Dune who launched the Desert Demon without any warning. Such a mistake is certainly tolerable...right?

Anyway, she won't tell anyone. She is not the kind of person who would betray her companions.

Just as everyone was thrown into a brief chaos by Ash's rude attack, the debris that was about to fly away suddenly reorganized into a huge transmitter similar to a thumbtack and stuck into the ground.

"My name is Duen, and I am the king of the desert apostles."

There was a sudden thunderclap, and a voice that almost annoyed Ash came out from the transmitter with a hint of joy.

"Duan....the enemy's big boss?"

There was no one present who was confused, and the serious-looking girls immediately realized the presence of the visitor.

"The desert demon you saw possesses the power to wither all plants and the heart flower of life. If you can successfully defeat it, let me offer my congratulations."

"But modern Pretty Cure, no matter how hard you try, you can't stop me."

Just as Duane was arrogantly stirring up the girls' hatred, causing their indignation to grow, he suddenly changed the subject and turned his attention to Ash.

"And you clever humans, it seems your wolf claws have reappeared. Our happy partnership has come to an end."

Ash didn't say anything, only the golden horns on his forehead reflected the sunlight.

"But let me see to what extent you can make me happy, hahahahaha!"

After leaving behind this thought-provoking sentence, the remaining matter, which could no longer withstand the annihilation effect of the black hole cannon, completely dissipated into particles that no longer existed.

With his hands clasped in front of his chest, there was a constant "crunching" sound from his clenched fists.

Ash admits that he is not actually a broad-minded person, but the possibility that he can endure such provocation... probably does not exist.

"Damn it, he's really looked down upon."

Well, considering my experience of backstabbing countless big bosses, I have to give you some good fruits to taste no matter what.

On the other side, looking up at the flower that Ash had entrusted to her and that she had almost cultivated with her own hands, Lei approached Ash step by step with mixed feelings. However, after a few steps, she was blocked by a black magic wand that was flickering with light.

"Stop, whatever you're going to do, I'm—"

"Xiao An, don't do unnecessary things."

"But!" The Dark Pretty Girl, who hadn't expected Ash to stop her from behind, turned around with a distorted face. "But, they should be your, our enemies!"

"Enemy and friend, sometimes it's impossible to clearly distinguish between them in this world."

After hearing what Ash said, there was no way to fight. The dark pretty girl, with a distorted expression, finally threw the magic wand away from Lei's nose roughly, gave way with an unhappy look on her face, and walked to a small alley on the side to sulk.

"Ash..." Lei's heart was full of complicated feelings towards the man in front of her with his arms crossed.

From falling in love at first sight, to gradually falling in love with this person because of a side of him that he inadvertently revealed, until now, until recently... Am I still in love with him now?

"Including the time spent with us, including becoming enemies, including Zigela, is this all you plan to do?"

"I only act for the sake of what makes me happy." Ash answered without much hesitation.

After all, witnessing the glory of heroes and having fun during his journey are also a major motivation that supports him, although the recent developments are really not very happy, unless he also evolves to the level of a bloodthirsty Autobot.

"What about us..."

"I'm sorry~ I guess I've forgotten how to care for others in my life."

The merciless words hit Lei's already weak heart, but the man continued with no intention of stopping.

"Besides, do you still have the room to hesitate now?"

"To be honest with you, that desert demon may seem powerful, but it's just an enemy superior to the combatants. At most, it's at the level of a unit-recovery monster. You can take as many as you want."

"Even against an enemy capable of mass production at the surface level, I ask you, do you have the confidence to win?"

"I...."

In the space of confrontation, the devilish pressure from behind the man surged forward mercilessly, and Lei's legs couldn't help but want to retreat.

As the person who took the initiative to punch the devil, Lei naturally has the final say. Although the enemy is indeed strong, she is also confident that if the four of them combine their ultimate moves, powerful sonic waves, they should be able to defeat an enemy of this level.

But, to say that she could easily defeat countless enemies of this level as if mowing grass, this... she really couldn't make such a boast.
