Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

When the two beams of light converged, the intersecting lightning and darkness collided violently. The shockwaves caused the waves beside the girl to violently collide with each other, splashing water everywhere, as if the entire sea surface was about to be torn apart.

There was another piercing scream, and Ash's facial features began to glow under the influence of the overflowing lightning. He had used his mouth cannon to accomplish the feat of striking down the darkness with thunder, and blasted the monster down to a charred state.

"Peace... is he really that powerful?"

"That's right."

As soon as the thought of playing badly came to mind, they suddenly felt that the world was wide open. After no longer dwelling on those results that were beyond common sense, the other four people found that it seemed pretty good to just watch their teammates' backs as they went crazy today.

As for Yayoi, who was in OMO the entire time...she began to seriously consider the feasibility of doing this herself.

Then, they saw Cure Peace strike their signature scissor hand pose. Could it be that after such a frivolous performance, Yayoi could finally make a comeback and return to the afterlife?! The three of Cure Peace felt a little excited at the thought.

Then they saw a rogue and comfortable smile appear on Yayoi's face, like a good citizen.

"Sa, let me tell you, the two fingers I'm extending now are not a symbol of victory, nor a symbol of peace, but..."

She imitated their special moves and poured all her will and strength into the makeup box on her waist. As Ash moved, the sky began to darken, dark clouds rolled in, and the rumbling sound of thunder gradually rose.

"You're going to be finished in two seconds!"

"boom--"

A dragon-like bolt of lightning descended from the rolling dark clouds, thundering down upon the yellow-haired girl below. This was definitely not due to Ash's usual evil deeds, but a fierce storm blew beside her, mingled with intense thunder. The boundless force of thunder surrounded her raised scissor hands, accompanied by a whistling sound. The lightning then flowed along the yellow hair that rose like sharp corners on either side, then flowed back again towards the raised fingers. The lightning even illuminated the clown's comically hideous, carbon-black face, turning it an unusually pale white.

And this is Cure Peace's ultimate move!

"Thunder break!!!"

With a deafening roar, a powerful bolt of lightning shot from the "girl's" fingertips, streaking across the sky and piercing the darkness. In an instant, the sky seemed to be bathed in a powerful light, illuminating the entire earth. Then, Ash crushed the lightning ball, which was attached to the thunderbolt, in his hand.

As for your question about Stitched Clown?

"Ha! He's ascended to heaven!"

After the transformation was completed, Ash felt sore all over his body and once again lamented the weakness of Yayoi's body. He walked to the place where the clown monster ascended to heaven and picked up the only thing left.

In the past, the Tragedy Kingdom usually created clown monsters by contaminating the healing accessories of the Fairy Tale Kingdom and infusing them with tragedy energy. Now that the healing accessories have been successfully collected, they will naturally no longer use healing accessories. Now, when Ash looked at the thing in his hand, he had a familiar feeling.

This black thing contains some gold, and seems to be... a piece of belt?

"Wow ah ah!"

As Yaxiu was thinking about the clues in his mind, he suddenly felt a warmth and felt as if he was being held tightly in someone's arms from behind. When he looked up, he saw his own face full of "despair".

"Stop it now, or you'll cry—'Yayoi' will definitely cry in front of you!"

If you use my body to do anything in front of everyone again, I will be too embarrassed to see you all again!

The girl in the man's arms was about to say something, but as their bodies touched, they both felt a wave of dizziness. When Ash opened his eyes again, he found that his hands had turned back into the familiar broad and strong palms.

Ah, the soul exchange method is cancelled after the monster is killed, which makes sense.

"Ah, I'm back." This time, Yayoi, who was now in his arms, had the same reaction, but she immediately pouted as if a little aggrieved. "But it's great, Ash is having so much fun... I'm the only one who has nothing and always makes a mess of things. I'm so useless..."

"That's not the case."

When Yayoi felt something being handed to her, she took a quick glance and was stunned. The manuscript paper Ash handed to her was clearly the comic book she had thrown away earlier. The once difficult-to-repair stains on it had been completely cleaned off. It was even the finished version with typesetting and inlining!

"Th-These are!"

"You said you wanted to try to complete this comic of your own with your own ability, right?" Ash spread his hands to her while maintaining a smile.

"I just helped with some repetitive work. Doesn't that count as breaking your insistence?"

But this way, you can catch up on time.

Chapter 162 New Intruder

After the others came over with curiosity, Ash distributed the comics to them and asked them to join the discussion. Then, as the people who were watching the comics also heard the sound of paper rubbing against each other, smiles spread from Ash to their faces.

"Is this the one you kept saying you were embarrassed to show us... What? Isn't this a great painting, Yayoi?"

"I can feel the artist's passion for this work; it's a truly Yayoi-inspired piece!"

Everyone's affirmation of her efforts made her, who was still being held in the embrace, stunned. She felt a broad palm patting her head again, and the man smiled as if to expect it.

"The strong yet gentle heroine in this story is what you want to be, right?"

I brought the comic cover to Yayoi specifically. The yellow-themed heroine, who was leaping between high-rise buildings with her tall figure, seemed to be smiling and winking at her creator.

"Regardless of whether or not you can meet that deadline, for your character, if you give up now, it will all be over."

"You don't want your wish to end this way, do you?"

Yayoi understood what Ash meant. He was telling her not to give up even the slightest bit of persistence in her heart.

"I'm looking forward to the ending of the next story."

In response to the look of immense surprise he was looking at, Ash rubbed his hands through the soft yellow hair with a rare gentleness. "This is something only you can do, right?"

"Brother...Hmm!"

"....Um?"

Just when Yayoi wanted to stand up to express her gratitude, she saw that the arms were still around her as if they were restraining her. She turned her head back with some effort and saw Ash's smirk in disbelief.

"Sister, you seem to have misunderstood something. Didn't Yayoi say you would cry in front of me?"

So, anyone who dared to do this to me before must now accept my "revenge"!

"Ah! Ah—that's not true!" Feeling the embrace getting tighter and tighter, Yayoi clung to Ash's arms, her lips slightly pouting, her face flushed red again and again. "That's not true! Brother!!!"

"I won't cry. Even though Yayoi is a crybaby, she won't cry at a time like this!"

"Really? Now I kind of want to see my sister cry."

"No—Ash is a nuisance!!"

The people who were watching the intimate play between the "brother and sister" all smiled with a look of satisfaction.

"It's such a good relationship."

"Yeah, the relationship between brother and sister is really good."

------

The Kingdom of Tragedy was split into two halves by Ash's slash of his naval sword. Inside the castle, a figure wearing a tight-fitting patterned T-shirt sat in the dilapidated ruins. He put the "Pierrot Core" in his hand aside, put his face close to the open screen in front of him, and carefully watched the scene of the Pretty Cure and Ash laughing.

"Even though he's a mature species, he still maintains such a good relationship with his cubs."

So this guy is the "great darkness" that Catherine mentioned that exists in the Precure world?

As if wanting a definitive answer, the tight-fitting man's beast-like pupils shrank into thin lines like incense sticks, all fixed on Ash's hearty laughter after his successful prank.

He felt confused. After all, Ash's attitude and performance were not in line with his expectations.

Is this thing really related to the so-called "Great Darkness"? Even his temper was prone to doubt, but he kept his eyes fixed on the man's laughing face until he began to look towards him from a distance. Then he turned off the screen and confirmed his inner judgment.

Yes, there is no mistake about that face. It is the same face as the guy who helped me come into this world!

"So, this guy is Ash."

"Yes, he's the one from another world who came here, the one called Ash." The core beside him flickered twice, answering his own question. "He's also the one called Kamen Rider. To the Kingdom of Tragedy, he's an enemy who, while not as powerful as Pretty Cure, is a far greater threat."

"Masked Rider... Warrior?"

When he heard this term, Piero could feel that his voice was becoming noticeably excited.

"That's perfect. I'm from another world too, and I'm a warrior too. This way, we're both equals."

An excited and terrifying "ho ho" sound came out of the man's mouth. The exhaled gas alone caused the building debris at his feet to show signs of corrosion, revealing the difference between the man's true identity and his seemingly human appearance.

If it is really equal, that would be great. Isn't this the perfect time to start the "game"?

He picked up the Piero core again, and looked at the dark core in his hand as if he were looking at some priceless treasure, but the bloodthirsty smile at the corner of his mouth made people shudder.

"What are you going to do next? The Tragedy Kingdom's remaining Tragedy Energy and the black pigment used to produce clown monsters are running low. If you want to continue to produce more clown monsters and defeat them."

"Ha, I'm not going to play by your rules. Besides, didn't you see it? Even if we used the Kidru fragments of Daguba as components, weren't we still defeated by those glittering creatures?"

Regarding Piero's proposal, his tone was full of contempt and arrogance for this "sub-supply-oriented" thinking.

Can't you see that? He's been 'playing' with you and those shiny little things. Have you ever seen an adult being serious with a child?

My only target is that "Ash", only "Ash", understand? The tragic energy you need is none of my business. Do you think that just because I was summoned by you, I will obey your orders?

"Then can you win?"

"Well, you ask me if I can defeat him? I think that's the least of my worries."

The right hand, which had transformed into a sharp claw wrapped in a muscle exoskeleton at some point, rubbed bright sparks left and right in the dark air.

"This is actually thanks to you. He has been playing games with the world all the time. No matter how powerful he is, he is just a small goldfish now."

"Do you still remember what a serious fight is?"

I sincerely hope he still remembers it.

Chapter 163: Stories happening outside the world

"Why is Miyuki so slow today... Um, what's going on?!"

The translucent panel suddenly popped out and stuck directly on Ash's face.

[Ash]

Pulling off the panel that was about to print words on his face, Ash saw his own name on it.

"Ok?"

After saying hello to Hoshizora Ikuyo, Ash, who had returned to the Hoshizora family, was now sorting out the embarrassing photos of Miyuki that he had taken from Miyuki's room. After being begged not to pick her up from school anymore, he waited for her to come home for dinner. Unexpectedly, the system suddenly popped up in front of him at this time, which was really rare.

"What's wrong? Is it because I've finally reached the point where I can collect Dark Echoes and get new rewards?" Ash suddenly realized his blind spot. "That's a bit strange. I remember you always gave me rewards periodically, encouraging me to absorb the negative energy from both the good and bad guys and transform it into Dark Echoes. But now you're getting so lazy that you've stopped giving me any."

Why does this all sound like a book with early setup and late game? Thinking of this, Ash, aroused, decided to check his progress in collecting the Dark Echoes of this world. He was shocked to find out. He hadn't even reached 60% of the Dark Echoes in this world.

"Are you kidding me? I've already defeated the final boss, right? System, please explain what's going on. I was wondering why I'm still in good health."

Could it be that because I was having such a great time with Miyuki and the others in this world, the atmosphere around me had become less "dark," and so the dark echoes hadn't come around as much? Are you kidding me? I was just making a fool of myself back then.

[Let's put the Dark Echo issue aside for now. It's almost over anyway... Ash, I need to remind you that I detected a space-time fluctuation in this world not long ago. It seems that someone else has come here.]

"Huh, who's that?" Ash yawned in boredom upon hearing this topic. "An old friend coming to catch up with me again? Or is it a guest appearance in the Pretty Cure collaboration? Anyway, it's probably one of those two."

[Detected reaction from—]

Just when the words on the screen were typed halfway, the loading screen that was spinning in circles in the lower right corner got stuck. It started spinning endlessly just like the win10 update, and no matter how Ash slapped it to fix it, it was useless.

There was no other reason, just because of this extremely familiar "reaction" detected, the system, which theoretically had no emotional module installed, was stuck in an infinite loop.

Why is there a hint of "Ash" in this reaction?

Could it be that they are the ones you are talking about?

At this moment, the traverser who was being talked about by the system and who was in cahoots with the commander-in-chief of the Tragedy Kingdom was breathing the air of the earth, standing on the tallest tower in the Seven-Colored Hill City, closing his eyes and waiting for something.

His name when he was in human form was "Gago", which was the name given by "Catherine" who attacked and killed a member of the Time Management Bureau and infiltrated the Bureau after stealing their identities.

The two people who have had such experiences depend on each other. They cooperate with each other in a covert way to continuously obtain their own interests in various worlds, leaving behind a mess that gives the Time Management Bureau a headache. This is their way of survival.

They have been living like this, but recently they had an unexpected gain. Through the shocking information leaked by a "suck-up" mentioned by Catherine, they locked onto the legendary existence with an extremely huge "Dark Echo". As long as they can seize it, even if only a part of the power is seized, Gagudu believes that it will be enough to bring freedom and happiness to himself and Catherine, and then they will no longer have to look at the color of the Time Management Bureau.

However, unfortunately, as soon as he arrived in this parallel universe called "Pretty Cure", he was targeted by a great being called "Queen of Light" from the Garden of Light. Just when Kagu, with "I am a bad guy" written on his face, was about to be found and blasted to pieces by the absolute light, someone saved him.

Thinking of this, even with his eyes closed, Gagu couldn't help but feel veins popping up on his forehead.

Because the man wearing the windmill belt has the same face as "Ash".

"How dare you barge into this universe so carelessly? Even the Time Authority is still negotiating with the Queen of Light, hoping that the Garden of Light will become an ally like the Kingdom of Light and the SPD. And yet, at this critical moment, you dare to barge in."

"If I hadn't hitched a ride here not long ago, I wouldn't know how I would have saved you."

In his memory, Gagu, who was sitting on the train, showed more hostility than kindness towards the stranger, but even so, he still looked at him with a smile.

"Your target is called Ash, right? Ah, you don't know his name is Ash? Then remember my face. The one who looks like me is Ash."

At that time, Gagu really wanted to teach the guy in front of him an unforgettable lesson, but he didn't do it, or he didn't have the confidence to defeat this guy even though he was only wearing a belt.
