Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"Just as I am the opposite of the fairytale kingdom created by your beautiful fantasies, I was born from the negativity of all things in the world."

Kill Read! Jaou Dragon!

The power of the evil flying dragon was injected into the sword, and the dark dragon flames ignited the holy sword into a grand torch, and together with Ash, it roared and slashed towards Piero.

"Hatred, anger, sadness, loneliness—the source of my strength is precisely your negative emotions, which will one day overwhelm the entire world. I was born with this responsibility."

what? !

Ash's eyes widened immediately under the mask, and he saw Piero in front of him holding the holy sword with his hands clasped together. Even though the dragon flames kept burning his gauntlets, he did not let go. Instead, he looked at him with his narrowed eyes.

Another screen unfolded above everyone's heads, and this time the content instantly penetrated everyone's deepest defenses.

"Mom—" I couldn't help but cover my mouth to prevent myself from shouting. "Mom?!"

Everyone could see that his important family members were struggling hard on the other side of the screen, but as the surroundings became more and more distorted, finally, even the strong mother fell powerlessly on the table.

"I'm sorry, Miyuki..." Slumped over the table where they used to dine together, Ikuyo's eyes etched with endless longing for her daughter. "Mom, I can't do this anymore..."

The next second, they saw their relatives on the other side turning into black paint and merging with the earth.

"Ah...Ah!" The unbearable blow instantly knocked Miyuki down, and her despair overflowed with an extremely sharp and shrill scream. "Mom, Mom! That's my mom! Ahh ...

"How could it be, my little ones at home——"

"Are these pigments all?!"

Lihua glanced confusedly at the monsters surrounding her. She was clearly in a situation where there was no escape. They were all trembling so much that they couldn't even clench their fists.

Resentment, negative emotions, tragic stories, how can we fight against such an enemy?

They were confused and could only watch as the cadres attacked them with fatal blows.

"The so-called light of humanity is merely accidental; in the end, absolute darkness is necessary."

Grabbing the sword, he further grabbed Ash's collar with one hand and threw him away with force, then turned around and threw the holy sword over. The splattered blood splashed on the side of Miyuki's face, who was in a daze, and nailed Ash to the wall again.

Time is up.

Piero closed the book at his waist with satisfaction. Just now, the despair of the Pretty Cures who could no longer hold on filled the book with the last bit of tragic energy.

Now is the time to end the entire world!

"Kamen Rider Calibur and Cure Happy, don't you think that the ending of this story should be solemn and beautiful?!"

Therefore, if the world must end, I will let the whole world usher in a tragic ending in beautiful despair!

Walking up to the man who had struggled to pull the sword from his chest, Piero slowly extended his hand towards him from above.

"The only person who hasn't despaired is you, so I've always said that you are just like us."

"People like you become weaker the closer they are to light and hope, and your fate is proof of that." The clown-like mask waved a perfect smile in front of Ash. "What you really want is a tragic ending like mine. Come on, admit it, Ash, admit it—"

"Precure Happy —————Shower (Pretty Cure Happy Baptism)!!!"

He quickly raised his hand to block the torrent of hope that was heading towards him. This time it was Piero's turn to stare with wide eyes. He looked at Cure Happy in disbelief as he stood up staggeringly and still chose to use his special move on him.

Why are you still able to stand up, when there is no twinkle in your eyes?

"No matter how hard you try, you're powerless—"

Why are you still fighting? You have already seen that the people and the world you can protect have disappeared!

"Lament your own powerlessness at not being able to fight against an unbeatable opponent, and stop dreaming about things that can't come true! Admit it, the existence of a so-called Pretty Cure who only knows how to preach can ultimately fail to create an ending for the story."

"Piero." Unleashing all her strength, the girl raised her now hollow eyes as she approached Piero. "Perhaps you're right. A tragic ending for Ash would be a more fitting outcome for him."

"But, I've seen it, and he doesn't have that smile...that he only shows in front of his companions."

"Miyuki..."

Ash, who had been having a splitting headache since being nailed to the wall, heard the voice and was finally able to look up at the back of the girl who was blocking his way.

"And if you say that everything is gone and that the future cannot be created," Miyuki smiled at Piero. "Then I will fight for the present that I believe in."

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

For the first time, Piero roared in anger and crushed the faint fluorescent light ball in the girl's palm, then raised his hand angrily and slapped her hard!

Are you delaying because you haven't completely given up hope? Then I will grant you absolute despair!

I'm tired of stories where the hero of good triumphs over evil.

Today I will stage the final ending where the hero falls to the evil!

"Disappear, Cure Happy!!"

Miyuki, unable to even scream, was hit so hard that her body was like a broken stalk. She was blown away powerlessly into a pool of dark pigment in the distance. The pink light all over her body seemed to be submerged in the dissolving darkness.

Slowly, he sank into bottomless despair.

Chapter 206: The End of the World, the Story of Birth, and the Miraculous Holy Sword! (4K5)

He struggled to stand up with his chest covered in blood, and as he fell to the ground, he gripped the holy sword tighter and tighter.

"happy..."

"Miyuki..."

After Ash witnessed Cure Happy turning back and giving him a final regretful smile, the girl who never gave up was thrown into the pool of "tragic energy" along with her "happy".

The light pink happiness that was once so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes off it was now stained and turbid by the inky darkness. The light of humanity that was brighter than the starry sky in her name was also drowned by the despair that was countless times bigger than her soul. It was as simple as the last flickering candlelight in a storm being easily extinguished by wind and water.

Until the girl's extremely slender body was dissolved by the darkness in front of him and turned into a pool of mud, sinking into the depths, Ash could only watch without even being able to lift his hands.

“Aaaaaaaaaa——”

So the evil dragon, whose precious treasure was robbed, rose from its lair with extreme anger, flapping its wings that caused natural disasters and spitting out angry dragon fire. Even if he was hit by countless magic spells and sharp arrows from people, he had no intention of retreating, because behind his burning vertical pupils, he was thinking about only one thing.

The thief who stole his most precious treasure was blasted to pieces!

"Why are you angry now—"

Feeling the growing power in his hands, Piero was pushed back unable to resist for a moment. He was pushed all the way against the load-bearing wall behind him by the roaring Ash. While the two were trying to stand up again in the crashing ruins, Piero found the right opportunity and pulled out a dark sword like Ash's, and cut Ash in half and sent him flying.

"Don't you think it's too late?!"

"Shut up and give Miyuki back to me—!"

Ash continued to charge towards Piero without stopping. Facing the evil dragon knight who was roaring crazily, Piero sighed deeply and pressed his hand on the [Book of Lost Things] again.

“[The Story of The End!]”

It seems that if I want you to face the reality and despair, I can only use the deepest darkness to dye you back into darkness?

The pure "tragic energy" from his own origin was extracted and a part of it was transformed into a dark ball of light in his hand. When Ash rushed to him and engaged in close combat, he raised his hand to slap away the oncoming sword, and then used the hand with the ball of light to slam it into Ash's abdomen.

"..."

He stood stiffly in front of Piero, maintaining the posture of chopping. As the "darkness" sank into his body, the light under Ash's eyepiece dimmed, and the holy sword held high in his right hand slid down from his loosened thumb.

"Clap clap-!"

Seeing the state of Ash in front of him, Piero was satisfied again and applauded repeatedly. He was very happy to be able to help the darkness that was deeper than himself to recognize its own reality!

"That's great, Ash. You finally admitted that this is your ending—"

The other hand, which was also hanging in the air, just caught the dark sword Yue An. While Piero was close to such an unavoidable distance, sparks flew between the two of them, and he swung the sword back with his backhand, slashing at his chest like a fang!

"No, it's impossible!"

He took several steps back, covering the wound on his chest. His eyes, which had been narrowed as a clown, widened slightly at this moment.

Is it useless? Impossible. I clearly saw the energy being absorbed by him. How could it be that he was not affected? This is even more impossible! This dark combination of his must be in internal turmoil!

As if to confirm Piero's idea, visible fluctuations rippled and lingered behind Ash. Then, with five crisp sounds, five dark golden coins engraved with the names of some evil organizations were forced out by Ash while taking advantage of the dark echoes in his body and flew away.

"system?"

Ash whispered and summoned a transparent screen, on which was displayed the collection progress bar that was already full.

[Dark Echo Fill - 120% Complete]

"Is that so? Then the mission for this world has been over-accomplished." The masked man, his subconscious clearer than ever before, took a deep breath. "Then, until my body is overwhelmed, I'm the strongest, right?"

The moment of the explosion was like a bomb being ignited, and Ash rushed towards Piero like a derailed train, rampaging in the already crumbling throne room.

The dark echoes in his body were indeed awakened by Piero's move, and were shaking inside his body, trying to drag Ash's soul back to hell again.

But Ash, who had had this experience not long ago, would not fall for it again. Moreover, his heart had been filled and he was no longer the confused and empty self of the past. He remembered his own name and remained stable. He even took advantage of the violent echo of darkness to drive out several residents who had been clinging to his body.

"hateful--"

The two dark swords crossed each other several times, but Piero noticed that Ash, who should have been at the end of his strength, became stronger and stronger as if he had received someone's blessing, to the point that even he, who had already mastered the strongest power of the bad ending, felt troubled.

"How hateful, Wang Jian! Why do you still want to be my enemy?"

The hero who could have prevented the tragic ending had disappeared, and only the sound of swords clashing against each other continued. Piero, trembling all over, not knowing whether from anger or fatigue, raised his hand and projected the distant scene in front of Ash.

It allowed Ash to clearly see that Lihua and the others were lying on the ground covered with wounds after being knocked down by the cadres, and their lives were unknown. Then the picture was a rolling picture of despair and disaster. The color of the sky became dark and dull, rolling dark clouds surged, lightning exploded in the air, the land churned and the waves tilted, as if the heaven and earth were roaring towards the furious end of the world.

This is the direction that Piero takes the world to after completing the Book of Lost Things, leading it to a tragic ending.

"The people you wanted to protect, and the world, are all gone! The ending is already determined, so why, why are you still struggling in such an ugly way!"

The sound of metal colliding with each other made Ash's eyes even more distracted. He could clearly predict the opponent's attack but was too lazy to even resist.

Then, during the battle, he suddenly muttered to himself again.

"As for me, I've been whitewashed this time according to standard procedures. Rather than predicting a bad ending, I choose to believe in their possibilities and believe they can change the future."

"Now, both they and the future have disappeared, leaving only you and me dancing here like clowns."

I used to feel like I could do anything when I was on the villain's side, but now when I want to stand on the good side, I can only watch the tragedy happen. Ha... What's the use of having great power now? It just makes love gradually drift away from me.

"Whether righteous or not, whether evil or not, when there is no more reason to make trouble, all you can do is whimper in grievance to someone like you."

After releasing the sword and stepping back, Ash opened his arms to Piero as if showing off, his words full of self-mockery.

"That's really ugly, Ash."

When Miyuki died in front of him, Ash knew that he could no longer create the future he wanted.

What's going on? This time, I didn't rebel or have any other ulterior motives. I really wanted to be your partner of justice. Why...

The more kind and considerate I am of others, the weaker my power becomes. Is that so? Am I falling for your gentleness? That's truly shameful, Ash.

The blue night sky is the color of her tears.

Likewise, I can't regard our meeting as a dream.

"[Evil King! The ultimate move is revealed!]"

The passion I'm arousing now is clearly meant to protect you, but in the end I couldn't even do that.

Ash took a step back, his foot landing on the solid ground, which instantly stabilized his entire body. At the same time, he pushed his center of gravity to the left side of his abdomen, maintaining a half-squatting posture, and hit the button hard to release the pages of the Evil Dragon King.

Now, no matter what the outcome, let the battle end.

"[Evil King's Fatal Attack]!"

Intense dark energy wrapped around his feet, and his shoulder armor summoned four golden dragon-shaped energies to surround Ash, who flew up with them. The powerful magical power turned into a deep purple flame and was released at the tip of his feet. The thunderous fatal flying kick broke through the air at this moment, accurately hitting Piero below and kicking him away.

"boom!"

The upper half of the entire castle was covered by the mushroom cloud-like scene. After the flames in the center dissipated, a crisp cracking sound was heard. It was Piero's gauntlet at the center of the explosion that shattered and fell to the ground.

"Click——"

It wasn't just Piero whose equipment was shattered; it also happened to Ash who was half-squatting on the ground. The dark sword Yue'an in his hand finally broke into two pieces after being used beyond its limit with a crack in the middle of the sword.

"King Sword." Piero threw up his charred hands and turned to look at Ash, who had just released his transformation and was holding the broken sword. His back looked unusually hunched. "You lost."

"Miyuki, Miyuki..."

Tangtang, who had been lying beside the pool and was unwilling to leave, did not get any response from the girl no matter how she called out. After seeing that Ash on the other side was also defeated, Tangtang, who had some kind of awareness, gritted her teeth, wiped away her tears, raised the miracle gem she brought, and threw it into the pool of tragic energy.

"Miyuki—hurry up and get up! This person needs you, Kuru!"

----

"No more..."
