Chapter 557

Sixty-Ninth Chapter: Charge Up with Ultra Glamour!

“That is the jester nose which the Tragic Kingdom uses to create monsters!”

Akane immediately recognized the tragic energy radiating from the thing embedded in the nucleus at the center, a thing similar yet distinct from what they usually see in the hands of officers; it was neither red nor able to nullify single combat special abilities. Rather, it was a clown nose that gradually merged into an unusually large nucleus behind it!

“Do you think this will defeat us?”

Akane’s heart could not help but be alarmed, as she had seen him fall into the atmosphere, turning to ashes, yet now Joker’s voice still lingered around Go-Kaijō, truly a ghost that wouldn’t dissipate!

“It turns out that this ‘Special Super Jester Monster’ collects the most amazing tragic energy when humanity is on the brink of world destruction. Now you all can reach such a level!”

In front of both of them, the nucleus began unfolding from the inside out, like it was deforming. First, two monstrous arms spread out, followed by equally sharp heads and feet, while two serpent-like tentacles swayed behind.

Seeing this scene, Ash recalled comet monsters, like Geedread or Doralg something.

“However, after the Raw Vitality of Nibiru, there’s the Raw Vitality Derivative, huh? Heh, interesting!”

Muttering a joke only he could understand for this era, Ash couldn’t help laughing derisively.

The massive “Meteor Monster,” with its oversized, comical clown nose, reminded them this was a product of the Tragic Kingdom.

“You’ll all enjoy Earth thoroughly! Hehehehe!”

[BGM: Pirates Unite! Go-Kaijō]

“Charge Up with Ultra Glamour!”

Being first is strength! Guided by this philosophy, Ash unhesitatingly made Go-Kaijō charge towards the enemy!

“Wait, I don’t know how to operate robots!” Panicking, Akane grabbed one of the four steering wheels beside her, not knowing what to do.

“All you need to do is place your hand on the lever and provide spirit!” Amidst Akane’s terrified shouting, Ash, inexplicably somewhat excited, gripped her hand and spun the two rudder wheels together. “For the rest, let’s leave it to our momentum!”

Go-Kaijō raised both fists toward the jester monster, its dual beam energy cannons beginning to gather light particles inside. The full blast of the beam completely enveloped the monster’s huge body like a flood!

Yet under the beam attack, despite being fully covered in fire, the monster only roared without any clear injuries, enduring the “photonic skin,” and lifting its claws to strike Go-Kaijō!

“Whoosh!”

Both hands instantly crossed over to draw two large sabers from the side, the blades blocked the incoming claws with a screeching sound.

“How about it!!!”

Ash fiercely grabbed the steering wheel, the pink submarine part of his leg lifted and kicked the monster’s chest, blasting it with a torpedo from his foot, yet it showed no damage.

Infuriated, the jester monster summoned two snake-like tentacles from behind, charging towards Go-Kaijō. Ash immediately accelerated to the limit, utilizing his advantage in space combat, pulling the monster through an incredibly dizzying series of maneuvers in zero-gravity space.

“This acceleration force could kill humans—however, this is enough!”

Amidst the fragmentation of the debris field, Go-Kaijō kept its speed increasing. The tentacles shattered the rocks along their path into exploding fires.

But just as Go-Kaijō seemed about to break new speed limits, it suddenly reversed direction like a butterfly dance, and continued backward with exaggerated force. Without the G-force resistance from an ordinary driver, who was either the masked rider or in a hyper-strengthened state, the pilot would have been crushed to a pulp.

“This is—Pirate Tactics!”

The accelerating tentacles flew past the sides of the machine. Go-Kaijō immediately drew out its dual swords and threw them forward. Grapnels shot from its arms caught onto the flying hilts, and mechanical hands controlled the swords via cables, slicing the tentacles into bits.

“—”

The monster jester emitted a deafening roar, spreading dark tragic energy. A powerful impact forced it back, countless fragments bursting from its body.

“A violent monster indeed, but my Amakong is just as fierce!”

For some reason, Ash seemed even more excited than usual during his robot battles.

Unlike the energized Ash, facing the screen, Akane appeared more and more fearful.

Because behind the clown monster was a deep shadow, akin to that of a demon king, terrifying in its silence.

“Is it… Pierrot?!”

They had learned from Sugar that Pierrot, the emperor of the Tragic Kingdom and the biggest enemy of the Fairy Kingdom, possessed enough power to destroy planets. Previously, Akane hadn’t felt the real terror, but confronted with the overwhelming pressure from this mere shadow, she finally understood why talking about Pierrot alone was enough to make Sugar pale.

“Don’t worry.”

As her mind churned with unease, Akane suddenly felt coolness covering her hand. Ash grabbed her hand, placing both of their hands on the steering wheel.

“It’s merely another dark emperor. The fear I’ve witnessed is many times more.”

The holy sword reappeared, flashing with light on Ash’s waist.

“Also, didn’t you just trigger a miracle by yourself earlier? Besides, we aren’t just you and me. We are together.”

Looking at the knight beside him, for some reason, Akane could see a confident smile beneath the silver mask.

“Let’s create that miracle once more!”

“Ash… Ha, you’re right, it wouldn’t be over so easily. I won’t give up just because I’ve become a Pretty Cure again!”

Gazing at the knight, battered and armor dented in front of them, the hand holding the steering wheel grew tighter around hers, her hesitation gradually replaced by a rising flame of courage and confidence.

Orange light gradually enveloped the struggling Go-Kaijō from where her hand held the steering wheel!

“Just a mere jester monster! Without fighting, how could we tell who’s stronger?!”

“Yes, it’s exactly about morale!”

The key, which had glimpsed previously during Akane’s outburst, now completely materialized on the steering wheel, caught in Ash’s grasp.

“What is this—the Pretty Cure connector key?”

Why is it here? Is this also the power of a miracle?
