Ash shook his head helplessly. He bent down to pick up the white paper on the ground, but his overly sharp gauntlets pierced the paper.
"Tsk... According to the theory revealed by that poet, the Holy Sword and the Fantasy Riding Book actually contain powers far beyond what can be expressed. If I can draw them out in the right way, I too will have the power to change the ending."
"For example, the [Evil Dragon] represents the power of darkness. When the forces of good and evil collide, a whole new power is born... Unfortunately, I've never actually witnessed this scene in that world."
He spent a little time analyzing the healing ornament he had taken away. The energy contained in the small ornament shocked the knowledgeable Ash, which just happened to be in line with his plan.
"So, the next thing should be..."
Ash, who was talking to himself in the middle of it, suddenly fell silent. Together with the quietness of his movements, the entire cave fell into a kind of tranquility. Apart from the crisp sound of dripping water coming from above, the only sound was the buzzing sound of the computer hard drive next to Ash running at full power.
"Qiang~"
The metallic sound made by the collision and clenching of the metal gauntlet and the hilt of the dark sword broke the silence.
"Come out, or do you want me to ask you out?"
With a sword in his hand symbolizing annihilation, Ash raised the sword and pointed it at the empty space behind him. An invisible sense of oppression began to cover that direction with all its strength.
"Ala, this is really rude~"
As Ash finished speaking, a joker in a circus costume appeared from where there was no one a second ago. Ash's eyebrows, which were already unhappy, now lowered even lower, and his face showed visible disgust and hatred.
"First, let me introduce myself. I'm a cadre of the Kingdom of Tragedy, named Joker!" Joker, who had just arrived, did not feel that this was someone else's territory. Instead, he performed a dance very enthusiastically and exaggeratedly, just like a lion jumping through a fire ring in a circus, jumping around the facilities and protruding terrain around Ash.
"I'm also one of our Tragedy Kingdom cadres. Mr. Wang Jian has already met you, right?" Finally, Joker stopped a distance away from Ash, standing on the overturned table leg, and continued to tease him with his sweet voice. "You seem to be getting along well with our Mr. Wolfren~?"
Ash just watched him perform his funny monkey tricks in silence, neither praising nor objecting.
Just as Joker was about to say something else, Ash suddenly raised his other hand to cover his face and burst into laughter in front of him.
"This really is—hahahahahaha, actual karma!"
I just went to someone else's secret base to show off for a while, and now it's someone else's turn to show off in my secret base.
"What is it? I'm very interested~" Joker narrowed his eyes, waiting for Ash's answer.
"Come to think of it, I also know a joker."
Suddenly, Ash, who had no intention of answering him, suddenly changed his tone, and his flat voice seemed to be talking about a trivial matter that was insignificant to him.
"Wow~ I'm really grateful that I have the same name as Mr. Wang Jian's friend~" He laughed strangely twice, and his eyes narrowed even tighter under the joker mask. Hearing Ash's words really made him very curious.
"So, Mr. Wang Jian, who do you think is the joker, me or your friend?"
"Of course you're the joker when it comes to jokes. You wore a circus clown costume and ran into someone else's secret base in a dark underground cave. Is there anyone who could be more of a joker than you?" Although he didn't understand the meaning of Ash's words, the tone was clearly one of praise, but Joker felt that this person was mocking him.
"But, he's not just a clown, he's a real Joker!"
"He said a tough guy needs black coffee to stay awake, but he spat out the coffee I made him after taking the first sip." As the description unfolded, the scene appeared before Ash, and the corners of his mouth, which had been curled since the joker appeared, now curved into a smile. "He's really a half-baked tough guy... But a half-baked tough guy is still a real tough guy, and..."
"He and I are friends."
The pitch-black sword blade instantly crossed the distance of space, like a disaster falling from the sky, about to devour the slender body of the joker.
"Not with you!"
Chapter 16 Will Ash join the Tragedy Kingdom?
The holy sword can increase its power and even exert power far beyond imagination according to the passionate will of the wielder.
Now the dark sword Yue'an in Ash's hand was bursting out with astonishing power along with Ash's serious aura. The deep purple dragon flame was wrapped around the golden blade, and the traces left by it were like a crescent moon. It was almost going to tear the space in front of him, where the clown was, apart, and swallow it into the endless darkness!
But looking at the empty space in front of him, Ash's brows furrowed even deeper, simply because his sword didn't feel like it had hit anything.
He actually dodged my surprise attack. How tricky.
Not only that, he was able to follow the clues and find this place, bypass the defense of my base and even approach me from less than ten meters behind. If I hadn't neglected the training of my intuitive perception recently, I would not have noticed him coming to kill me.
This guy's words have always made me think that he is on the same level as that little dog, but judging from his performance alone, he is definitely not a cadre of the same level. This is indeed consistent with the prediction of Dark Sword Yue'an.
Although Jian couldn't see that far at the moment, if I had to guess, could it be a high-ranking official like the gatekeeper? Or in this case, it should be a traditional BOSS clone?
"Alala~ It was so dangerous, so dangerous! I almost died at the hands of that sword!"
The weight on Ash's sword-holding wrist twisted slightly towards the ground. He looked down and saw the Joker, whose pointed clown hat was missing a corner, standing on tiptoe and stepping on his sword as if performing an acrobatic trick.
"Huff, huff, huff~ Mr. Wang Jian, could you please put down that sword? Such a sharp and dangerous object would not only cut people but also cut the flowers and plants, which would be bad." The joker, who was looking down from above, felt the blow and was a little surprised.
It's truly an incredible power for a human being...but it seems that's all it is, there's no possibility of it being able to hinder Emperor Piero.
"Look, being angry isn't good for your health. For your health's sake, if I apologize, could you please stop being angry?"
"If you had knocked properly when you came in, I might not be so angry."
"I'm so sorry, I can't find the door."
This statement is really true. The joker searched for a long time but couldn't find the door. In the end, he used his own ability to get in.
Without any intention of listening to the other party's explanation, nor was there any need, Ash turned his wrist and flashed along the direction of his arm, and the joker in front of him did a backflip and landed steadily on the table behind him. Then, the position he was in the previous second was now covered by countless sword lights and shadows that were visible to the naked eye, like a meat grinder.
I've always been the one to riddle others, so when will it be someone else's turn to riddle me? I already know what you'll say next, so... I can use it to my advantage, right?
Ash suppressed his anger and changed his mind. His brain worked rapidly and he decided to cooperate with the other party by taking advantage of the situation.
"Do you want to fight me, or do you want to do some odd jobs and make me laugh to death?"
"Oh my, Mr. Wang Jian misunderstood. It really is a misunderstanding."
After saying such nonsense that sounded insincere, Joker straightened the crooked pointed hat on his head and bowed exaggeratedly to Ash to apologize, then tried to adjust the hat again.
"Actually, I think it's a good thing that you taught Mr. Wolflun, who is also a cadre, a lesson." Even though he couldn't see the expression under the other person's mask, Ash could guess that there must be a happy smile with squinting eyes underneath.
"After all, if he can learn from this, it will be a valuable experience for him to grow into a better cadre serving Emperor Piero."
"I don't care whether the emperor is Piero or Pigmon." Ash said this deliberately, and as expected, he saw the other party's stunned expression and the subtle murderous intent in the air. After understanding this, the person who showed a smug smile in his heart became Ash.
"I just want to know two things. One: How did you sneak in?"
The joker didn't say anything, but raised his hands behind his back and sent a small object flashing red light towards Ash.
Ash raised his hand and caught the thing thrown by the other party. It was the tracker that Ash had previously hidden under the werewolf's neck.
"How rude! I only came here because Mr. Wang Jian seemed to be inviting me~"
"Two." Ash, who had "stuck" the tracker in his pocket and seemingly sheathed his Dark Sword in response to the other's reassurance, raised two fingers. "People from the Tragedy Kingdom, if you don't want to redeem your companions, what exactly do you want?"
"Actually, Mr. Wang Jian, I think we should get along pretty well." Joker, performing an exaggerated dance move, pointedly used his fingers to perform a monologue about girls. "The reason, of course, is because of those Pretty Cure girls. Yes, we should have a lot in common about hating them!"
"After all, he actually took away their transformation power with his own hands, causing those self-proclaimed righteous little girls to fall into the abyss of despair. Mr. Wang Jian really avenged us~" Joker picked up another piece of white paper that had fallen on the ground, and looked at the prophecy of the bad end on it with great interest. The picture of the girls' tragic end on the paper made him feel excited.
"I really didn't expect this. Mr. Wang Jian's understanding of the tragic ending is really amazing to me." Now, Joker felt that he was more confident in his calculations.
"So, how about you join our Tragedy Kingdom? Fufufufu~ If we can finally revive Emperor Piero and achieve the ultimate tragic ending that envelops the entire universe, you'll gain enormous benefits!"
"So, you want to be a lobbyist and invite me to join you?"
Hearing this, Ash narrowed his eyes, looking quite interested.
"Of course, if Mr. Wang Jian can also become a cadre, it would be a great blessing for us to have someone like you who is well-versed in tragic endings and ways to cause pain join us~!"
"Besides, it's a waste for someone like you to work so hard alone, isn't it?"
"Then, if I join, these Pretty Cure..."
"Of course!" Hearing the "bargaining" in Ash's words, Joker nodded generously. "Since Mr. Wang Jian is so concerned about those girls, I will also help you deal with these Pretty Cure!"
The gauntlet covering Ash's right hand suddenly freed itself as he wished, releasing the protection and allowing Ash to hold the tragic future tightly in his hands.
A summary of the story of Kamen Rider Wangjian during the maintenance period!
In a room filled with all kinds of books, and even the interior decoration is decorated with a childlike atmosphere, a bearded man dressed in red and green, dressed in a flamboyant way, greets you enthusiastically and exaggeratedly.
"Everyone, I am Liusu!"
The man who calls himself Liusu sits on a rattan chair and opens a book titled "Masked Rider is the Villain in Pretty Cure" with a cover depicting Kamen Rider Wangjian in front of you.
"After this suffocating time, as a prelude, let's read!"
The picture book that Liusu opened in her hand unexpectedly reflected a real scene that was like a dream.
In the scene, Ash transforms into Kamen Rider Wang Jian, following the unaware Miyuki, and travels to the secret base of Pretty Cure, where he confronts four nervous girls.
"Through the prophecy of the Dark Sword Moon Dark, Ash believes that compared to the Precures who are still too naive, it is a better choice to protect the world with his dark but effective methods."
"For this reason, Ash went to the girls' secret base, the 'Mysterious Library', and had a series of fierce confrontations and exchanges with them!"
A man wearing a bowler hat walked in, quietly following the story told by Liusu, and wrote down paragraphs of exquisite words in the notebook in his hand.
"Finally, in order to utilize the tremendous power generated by the intersection of light and darkness, Ash challenged the two pretty girls he had chosen. However, the girl who loved smiling, Hoshizora Miyuki, saw Ash's sad heart from the last look in his eyes that was not a smile."
In the picture of the book, Ash, who had successfully challenged Aoki Reika, left here without mercy. Only when Hoshizora Miyuki looked at the man's back, her eyes also revealed a worried heart of being attracted.
"It was at this moment that the strange Joker from the Kingdom of Tragedy offered Ash a sinful olive branch in exchange for the existence of Pretty Cure!" SrCce1
"Now, Ash will choose the 'final' decisive battle between the light and darkness of this world!"
"What direction will the final ending go? Will the development of things really be the ending that Ash and the little girl expected?"
"I have a hunch!"
Closing the third-rate novel in her hand, Liusu brushed past the girls who came to the library to pick up books, but it was as if she didn't exist, and they didn't notice her at all.
"From now on, the distance between them, the dragon's flame and Cinderella's heart, will gradually close. Incredible sparks will erupt!"
The man, whose face was hidden by the bowler hat, closed the book with the words on it and placed it with the other books in the mysterious library.
Waiting for the next person to take it.
Chapter 17 But I refuse!
The dark sword Yue An, as always, showed the darkest bad end in front of Ash.
"Actually, their existence is part of our plan." Joker, revealing a hint of sincerity, smiled cheerfully. Seeing Ash's pointed look, he slowly revealed part of his plan with a hint of provocation. "Every time a clown monster appears and a tragic ending arrives, the tragic energy generated and collected will serve as nourishment for Emperor Piero's resurrection. The healing accessories they collect each time they defeat a clown monster are also part of the plan."
It seems that this person took away the healing accessory this time. If I can get it from him...
"Ah, I understand." Ash responded naturally, and the system panel that popped up automatically with his thoughts displayed the collection of dark echoes from this world.
Of course, he is very familiar with such a process, and it is not an exaggeration to call himself an expert with peace of mind.
"As they purify the Jokers time and time again, of course the feelings between them and their confidence in wanting a happy ending will become stronger. But at this moment, if their hopes are destroyed!" As he described the situation, Joker put his hands together and squeezed them tightly, as if he wanted to crush them in his palms in front of Ash.
"Will this reversal of despair give rise to the greatest tragic energy?! When that happens, these former messengers of hope will become the greatest aid in the resurrection of our Lord, Emperor Piero!"
"Don't you think it's exciting to let their hopeful smiling faces be stained with the color of our despair and let them fall into the desperate Bad End?"
"What kind of expression would appear on your face at that moment? It would definitely be a wonderful sight, right?"
The Joker seemed to be extremely excited while describing his words. He covered his mouth to suppress his voice, his body trembling. When he was about to finish, he pulled his arms away and generously extended his hand to Ash.
"After Master Piero is resurrected, I'll give them all to you. You can do whatever you want with them."
"After all, we're the villains who brought about a tragic ending, so no matter how evil and filthy our actions are, they're all justified. Watching those once hopeful and enthusiastic girls finally degenerate into your very own [Harmony], it's truly... isn't it touching?"
Seeing Ash's indifferent look, Joker was secretly happy. It seemed that he had convinced him.
"You're right, I'm indeed positioned as a villain. This development sounds exciting enough."
Ash nodded truthfully.
The Dark Sword has already demonstrated the worst ending to Ash. If he agrees to his proposal at this time, the world will naturally enter a new bad end route of destruction with the resurrection of that damn "Pigumon". But unlike the previous endings, the object of sacrifice in this route will become the entire world, but the five girls he cares about will survive.
Even if their bodies and minds are tortured to the limit, even if they can only face the completely destroyed world and feel gradually despair, they can still survive.
At least it was not the ending that Ash had expected, that is, the joker in front of him was really nice enough not to deceive him in this regard.
I see. This way, we can keep them alive without putting in too much effort, which is a good idea... Now the question is.
So, take a shortcut?
"So, what is Mr. Wang Jian's answer?"
The joker was full of confidence and answered with such sincerity that he didn't think the other party would have any reason to refuse.
Ash gave his own answer.
"But, I refuse!"
The white paper from the Dark Sword Prophecy in Joker's hand was instantly torn apart by Ash's Dark Sword.
