Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"I just do what I want, what's wrong with that?!"

Another tentacle twisted around Ayumi fiercely. The girl felt the pain like a drill around her, but she was unwilling to let go even though tears were streaming down her face.

"Ash—the real Ash you're talking about, the Ash of the past, who's always pretending to be this awesome, masterful king who has everything under control. But isn't he actually the biggest idiot in the world?"

"Just for some stupid promise, I actually collected Dark Echoes for that 'system', a life-threatening thing, and died over and over again, hundreds and hundreds of times!"

What about the bonds forged through constant encounters with heroes? The desire to experience the thrill of witnessing their brilliance, even at the cost of one's life! If I wanted it, wouldn't I just be able to take the hero's body and soul?! Why all this foolish detour?

"Let me die like a flame-transmitting ember, and all this is to satisfy the system's wishes! To change the unfair fate suffered by the heroes!? To make them happy?!"

What does this have to do with me?!

"I've been enduring this for so long... I don't want to endure it anymore, so what?! I'm going to take over this world and the Pretty Cure right now and enjoy it as I've dreamed!"

"So - you are not his! You are only a part of him!" He pulled Ayumi back quickly, and the tentacles kept piercing the ground in front of them.

"You will never understand the important things I have gained from my journey that will never disappear even if my memory is erased!"

"Not only the knowledge that can change the world and the ever-accumulating combat experience, but also—"

The knight couldn't help but hold Ayumi's arm even tighter.

“And the biggest difference is.”

"I volunteered."

The raised holy sword moved from pointing at the devil-like Shocker to the girls on the cross behind him. That was the sin committed by his desire.

"They're just kids trying to make the world a better place, you bastard!"

"Yeah... didn't you just say that I'm actually a little devil inside?"

Tentacles suddenly emerged from the ground, forcing the two men to let go of their hands and retreat to the sides.

The sickle in the left hand, the bone spur on the right arm, and the weapons on both arms began to emit scarlet light aimed at the two people.

"Newborn children are always cruel by nature, but they forget it as they grow older."

"Ayumi—!"

“A——!”

The two people who realized something was wrong started running towards each other as if in a world where time had slowed down, desperately trying to reach out their hands to him/her.

"My lord, after interacting with those knights and Ultramen, I began to think I had grown up, that I could distinguish right from wrong. This is wrong. The so-called principles, the promises that cannot be violated—"

"No, let me tell you, Ash hasn't changed at all. He's still the 12-year-old who did whatever he wanted and casually abandoned his family."

There is no conspiracy or reason behind it, violence is just pure violence!

"I told you, children are always cruel."

The destructive light streams blasted out from Shocker's arms, sweeping towards the two with a force that could sweep away everything around them. Just before being absorbed by the light, the two finally hugged each other.

"And I still have a childlike heart!!!"

Chapter 77 Don’t give up!

"boom!"

The Pretty Cures who were climbing the tower suddenly heard an explosion from above their heads. When they slowly lowered their hands that they had subconsciously blocked their heads with, they were shocked to see a scene through the huge hole in the ceiling that they would never forget.

In the pure destructive light that made the heaven and earth pale in comparison, Kamen Rider OOO, whose whole body was burning, hugged the screaming girl with her eyes closed in his arms tightly, trying to bury her little head deeper into his chest, and was blown out of the tower by the huge thrust.

"Ash!"

Realizing something, some people cried out in surprise, and some immediately took action to help.

Arisu unfolded the four-leaf clover shield in his hand and swung it over. Itsuki wanted to release the sunflower shield directly in front of them, and Akane wanted to jump over and catch them regardless of the danger.

However, everyone was still a step too late. They could only watch helplessly as the laser cannon pushed them all the way until it caused a mushroom-shaped explosion in the distance outside the tower.

“No—no!”

No, again!

“Hoo-ha!”

His trembling arm was still protecting Ayumi's forehead, not daring to let go. With his other hand, he gently lifted up his chin, which was incredibly burned after being wiped. The two of them supported each other and got up from the ground.

To be honest, A couldn't understand why he was still alive... No, it's not about this kind of thing!

"Ayumi, are you okay?"

She struggled to get up from A's arms and looked around at the destroyed park surrounded by stone pillars. She felt a power flowing through her body in a daze.

"Still...still alive, but!"

Nodding in confusion, Ayumi looked down at the pure white light faintly flickering on her hand. It was at the critical moment when A hugged her. Before she closed her eyes, Ayumi happened to see it. It seemed that it was the protective shield that unfolded from her hand that saved the lives of both of them.

Is this also a function of this suit? Or...

"Ayumi...listen up!" As the knight's forehead rested against Ayumi's, he raised his head again. A, clutching the girl's arms as if with great determination, spoke sternly. "My desires have swelled to the point where I don't even recognize them anymore... It's embarrassing, but I have to admit, I was the loser from the start."

"Ah—what are you talking about!" Seeing the cracked emerald eyes, the girl, already understanding what he was about to say, immediately refused. "I understand how dangerous it is! But at this point, how can I let you give up and watch you do nothing?"

Suddenly, A, what happened to you?

"No—you don't understand at all!" Shaking her shoulders vigorously, A coughed twice in a hoarse voice, his voice faint as a candle in the wind. "I'm Ash! I'm a possibility that's destined to die... destined to disappear!"

"But you're different. You're still young! You have plenty of life and time to enjoy! There's no need to accompany me—"

"Clap."

Using the space transfer ability derived from the King Sword, Shockeroooooo came in front of the two frightened people.

All his original plans were interrupted, and he complained from the bottom of his heart that he couldn't enjoy fighting with Mana and the others at all.

But fortunately, isn’t the opportunity to make amends right in front of us now?

"Don't worry, I won't destroy my precious collection just to fight you."

In order to protect and repair the five coins that contain the cores of beautiful girls with bad endings, Shocker's efforts were not so outrageous at the beginning, and A also thought that he could find an opportunity and complete a comeback.

But time is actually on the other side, and as their condition recovers, the hope left for A and Ayumi is getting smaller and smaller.

"So, what exactly are you trying to do to defy me... Well, that's not important. You're probably going to die."

He casually swung his arms, which were blurred due to the high temperature, and the flying high-temperature jets melted the ground at his feet into a pool of red liquid.

"I haven't decided whether to kill you in front of them, but it's a foregone conclusion that you will be meaninglessly wiped out from this world, with every trace of your existence wiped out!"

As a residual, you are so annoying.

The sharp tiger claws that were turned out from A's wrist had several notches on their original sharpness. After several collisions with the bone spurs on the opponent's right arm, it was not surprising that they broke and flew out, cutting off a stone pillar in the process.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!"

A, whose claws on both arms were broken, was forced to retreat several steps and then quickly adjusted and responded. He spun like a top with his feet as the axis and kicked out his calves to attack the opponent's exposed abdomen.

As luck would have it, the other party was also "Ash", and the ideas of both sides were exactly the same.

"Guwa!"

The collision of the spinning knights' kicks on both sides caused the green locust armor on A's leg to explode. After being knocked over with a huge muffled sound, he rolled on the ground with a momentum comparable to that of several second knights and finally released his transformation.

"Aa ...

Without even looking back, he stretched out his clawed hand and grabbed Ayumi's wrist as she screamed and tried to attack from behind. He twisted her around and strangled her neck with his other hand as she screamed in pain.

"Humph, and you, a random girl! If you hadn't come along, nothing would have happened."

So, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for believing what he said. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not recognizing your own position!

Now Ash didn't even use the skills he had used against the Pretty Cure before. At this moment, he just transformed into the simplest violence, as if to verify his "childlike innocence", and used violence to crush A, the guy who always talked nonsense.

"I'M F▇KING INVINCIBLE!"

He spoke arrogantly and uttered nonsense, completely ignoring the increasingly difficult breathing expression on the girl's face. Shocker, who was holding Ayumi's neck tightly, continued to slowly lift it up as if he was holding his own victory trophy, letting the pair of small feet that had escaped gravity sway weakly in the air.

"Stop it—cough!" A, with blood all over his face, tried to get up but fell to the ground again due to exhaustion. "This is between us, it has nothing to do with her!"

"That may have been the case at first, but now that she's joined you in attacking me for getting involved in this, it's not irrelevant anymore!"

"You're Ash—if you were Ash, you wouldn't do such a thing!" His clenched fists pounded the ground with resentment. "It doesn't matter what I say! Please—her!"

"Ahem... It's okay, A..." Ayumi, who was having trouble breathing and thinking, still managed a smile towards A lying on the ground. "This is my choice..."

You said at the beginning that you wanted me to help you and stay with you for a while, and I agreed.

We're partners, right? And—

"Ahem... Don't give up. As long as you don't give up—there's still a chance!"

"You also have a wish you want to fulfill, right..."

Chapter 78: The Answer Revealed

"Yes, don't give up!"

Just as Shocker, who was feeling annoyed, was about to start exerting force with his hands, a heart-shaped light arrow shot from a distance and pierced his hand. Ayumi fell to the ground, but A acted quickly and hugged her in his arms. He grabbed her neck and she breathed deeply as if she had been pardoned.

“As long as you don’t give up and are willing to work hard, you can achieve success even if it’s not 100% certain.”

Breaking the bow in his hand, the knight saw Cure Heart, who was aiming the arrow of love at him, and the Pretty Cures following behind.

"But there must be opportunities within it!"

Humph, it's finally here~ Although I don't really want them to see what happens next~

Finally, it's here... I don't want them to see what happens next...

Two identical yet completely different thoughts appeared in the minds of the two Ashes at the same time.

"Is this person the current Ash..." Nao and Yayoi looked a little dazed, still not quite grasping the situation. "Is it the older one or the younger one? Could it be both of them?"

"No matter how you look at it, he's the taller one, right? His age is different, and..." Lihua and Akane, who had spent more time with him, had their expressions hardened. "Whichever it was, he seems to have changed or reverted to someone we don't recognize..."

"Ash..." Now there was no joy in Miyuki's eyes of reuniting with the person she longed for, only deep worry for the two of them.

Similarly, just by witnessing Ash's brutality against themselves for the first time, Lei and the others were already filled with unbearable anger, to the point where they couldn't feel at ease unless they taught him a lesson.

To be honest, this method might be the way they are more familiar with communicating with Ash than others.

"What a warm greeting for a first meeting!" He shook the half-broken arrow in his hand, then crushed it into particles of light. "But I don't dislike this kind of enthusiasm. I'd rather say I like it!"

"This isn't the first time! Mr. Ash, the thief who stole my love from my dream!" His gaze kept shifting from A who was helping Bu Mei up to the overly exaggerated Shocker in front of him, and visible anger rose from Ai Aida's face.

Before he could say anything else, the girl's fist collided with his arm.

"You took advantage of our relationship, making everyone worried about you while you tricked us into a loop! You attacked our seniors, attacked innocent people!" Mana, having missed her attack, immediately turned around and kicked the knight in a dance-like manner. "You—have fallen, Ash!"

He caught the kick and pushed it back with force, the wave of power released by his left hand petrified the incoming diamonds, and swung his knife hand to sweep away countless spade swords. He took a step forward and knocked Arisu to the ground with several rounds of karate. Then, the electric shock flashing from his forehead knocked down Cure Ace who kicked from the air.

"Ash!"

Just as he was feeling proud, two incredibly powerful attacks came from both sides. Lei and Lily, who were restraining his arms, pushed him backwards. "I can no longer tolerate what you've done to everyone!"

"If you become bad again, all we can do is do it again!"

This is what you taught us!

Erika and Itsuki, who were stepping on the shoulders of the two men, jumped up, turned over and swept down their high heels that broke the sound barrier. Just before they were about to kick the hideous bone mask, six tentacles pierced from behind and swept away the four Precures.

"You are right, I did do this."

He snapped his fingers in front of them, and Miyuki and the others who were about to follow up the attack looked at the crosses that were teleported here and the seniors tied to them with shocked expressions.

"Everyone...this!"

No one seemed to fully believe it, but until all the truth was revealed by him personally, the Precures could no longer hold back their anger and could only tremble all over.

"This is terrible..." Thinking of the childhood horror she and her father had watched, Yayoi, who couldn't help but look at Aguri, who was also feeling uncomfortable next to her. "If this continues, aren't we all doomed!?"

"No, that's not the case..." Lily shook her head fiercely and glared at him fiercely. "If it's Ash, even though the manager has been lying to us, it's for our own good!"

"That's absolutely not right. He wouldn't do such a thing even if he had a bad taste! So you're a fake!"

The pyroxene in front of the drawn Moonlight Magic Wand reflected a different kind of brilliance under the scorching sun, but judging from its constant trembling, its owner was not as strong as she appeared.
