Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"I've prepared a new coffin for you." Meeting the girl's incomparably resentful gaze, the phantom, unfazed, said lightly, "You can tell others if you want to, but the person lying in the coffin won't speak."

"Damn it, you underestimated me...!"

While the girl was struggling with it desperately, the corner of her eyes gradually locked onto a mirror coffin behind the phantom and she could no longer move her eyes away.

She recognized that person... No, she couldn't forget her no matter what! That gentle, peaceful face, the long, flowing hair, the tears still hanging on her face... That was her! That was my sister—the gentle angel! Hikawa Maria!

"elder sister!?"

Hearing the other person's unconscious silence, the phantom kicked the unsteady girl away, then followed her gaze and saw the black-haired girl sealed in the coffin. "Cure Tende (Gentle Angel)... Really? Is that so?"

His eyes kept flickering between the person in the coffin and Iona's sad and hideous face. The similar faces made the phantom, who had gained some understanding, reveal a hint of amused smile.

He suddenly remembered the Pretty Cure who had left a deep impression on him. "I see. I was wondering why you harbored hatred towards me even when we first met. Was it because I defeated your sister? So the little girl I spared that day has grown up and taken up her sister's legacy."

"Then blame your sister for passing on this cursed fate to you."

"Shut up!!!" Iona, furious at the mockery, erupted, instantly knocking the coffins behind her to the ground. "Don't speak ill of my sister! She was trying to protect me!"

Even if it costs my life!

"The only person I hate and want to blame is—" She spun the Light Love Bracelet on her hand, unleashing the power of all her potential. In this chaotic space, two purple suns were reflected in the girl's hand! "It's only you!"

I'm going to defeat you here too!

"Fortune Star Ring!"

The purple halo split into five in the girl's hand, flying towards the phantom at a speed far exceeding its previous speed. From above, a chain of chains descended, binding the phantom and firmly pinning him in place. Then, between the girl's hands, raised to the sky, a brilliant purple star swayed and rose from the horizon.

“Precure Stardust Shoot———!!”

Amidst the drawn-out sound that tore at her throat until it broke, the stardust light that illuminated everything like a falling meteorite completely covered the expressionless phantom in the center. Looking at the mushroom cloud gradually rising in front of her, Iona, who realized that she couldn't even lift a finger, collapsed on the ground exhausted, gasping for breath in an unruly manner.

“Ha…ha…ha…hehehahahaha!”

Although the exhausted girl was so tired that she just wanted to lie on the ground and take a nap, the ultimate sense of satisfaction that arose in her heart made her laugh out loud with joy.

"Phantom, I finally got you...!"

"You haven't done it yet."

Under the girl's astonished gaze, the phantom, whose body was protected by an egg-red shield, rushed out of the mushroom cloud, and hit the girl's chest with the hilt of the knife, knocking her away.

"This is the second time, Angel of Destiny."

Anger makes you burst out with extraordinary strength, but it also makes you unable to see clearly what is in front of you.

"You haven't made any progress compared to your peers."

“Ahhhhh——!”

Iona, already exhausted from the relentless battles, finally lost her energy and, after suffering a sudden and severe blow, could no longer sustain herself and unraveled her transformation. Her elegant purple battle suit dissolved into the most basic particles of light, leaving only a light towel draped over her body, barely covering her.

"I'm much stronger than you to begin with." Sheathing his sword after the battle, the phantom before the girl looked down at her from above. "The difference in power between us is not something you Pretty Cures can overcome simply by chanting slogans of love and happiness."

"Even if you rely on your anger, you are still no match for me."

Chapter 99: The Hero Arrives (x) The Villain Arrives (√)

“Gu, kill me…!”

"The Phantom Queen doesn't want to just get rid of you so easily."

Glaring at the condescending man in front of her, the girl still wanted to stand up, to prove to him her indomitable spirit as a Pretty Cure.

But, at this moment, she had burned everything and even this remaining strength...had completely disappeared.

Now, the only thing the girl could still use was the pair of eyes that stared angrily at the phantom.

"So, this is the transformation device of the Gentle Angel?"

"Give it back to me, it belongs to my sister--!"

Ignoring the girl lying on the ground, begging desperately, Phantom picked up the Light Changing Mirror and Light Card that had fallen beside her, and showed a momentary nostalgic expression.

After all, it was a very exciting battle, but the result was a little imperfect because I cheated in the end to win.

"The gentle angel is a truly exceptional and powerful being, even among the many Pretty Cure girls. If she hadn't saved her sister who was hiding nearby that day, the outcome between her and me would have been uncertain."

"You could say that the gentle angel fell down in order to save you. She was defeated by her own naiveté."

"No—my sister...!"

The shadow reflected on the ground before the girl gradually became wet with the falling pearls. Although Iona desperately tried to refute the illusion, her eyes, blurred by tears, were now filled with the sight of her sister years ago, her backside exploding and her screaming as she desperately tried to block her way.

Sister...I'm sorry, I can't compare to you, you're so powerful. I'm just too useless...

"This is no longer necessary."

Fierce flames burned fiercely in the phantom's palm holding the transformation device. The last thought left to her by her sister, which was also the last hope of counterattack, was burned into an unrecognizable black charcoal in front of Iona.

"No, no!"

The screaming girl scratched at the ground, ignoring the heat that burned her palms into a barbecue smell as she picked up the last remnants on the ground.

However, no matter how one looked at it, there was no trace of his sister left on the charcoal.

"You couldn't save your sister, and you lost the strength to fight."

“Ahh… Uwaa ...

Finally unable to suppress her feelings any longer, unable to endure any longer, Hikawa Iona, having lost her last hope and realizing her own weakness, knelt before her sister's mirror coffin and burst into tears.

"Your wish will never come true."

"Wow ah ah ah ah -"

Hikawa Maria, who was lying in the mirror coffin, also shed a tear, as if she was feeling sad for her sister who was deeply trapped in pain and self-blame.

Listening to the painful cry of the girl in front of him, Phantom couldn't help but raise a hint of relief from the corner of his mouth.

Despair, suffer! Your misfortunes as Pretty Cures will bring peace of mind to the Phantom Queen.

If you want to blame someone, blame the Earth God who gave you power! He is the real culprit behind all this tragedy, not the princess of the Blue Sky Kingdom who made a big mistake out of a moment of compassion!

"I'll escort you back to your sister." As Iona wept, a dark energy gathered in the shape of a mirrored coffin as the phantom's hands gradually lifted. "Let's be sisters, and fall into a sleep of eternal despair...!?"

My hand, I can’t wave it down! ?

A large hand covered in pitch-black gauntlets came through an aurora curtain that appeared at some point behind the phantom, and firmly grasped the wrist that he was about to release towards Iona.

"Thank goodness I found it." The fading aurora curtain revealed the true form of the person approaching the phantom from behind. It was none other than Ash from Kamen Rider Deacon! Not long ago, he had unleashed his Wushuang Dragon to track the phantom's path through the mirror to the other world. Now, he had rushed over after giving the god a compassionate face-breaking punch. It seemed like he was just fine.

After saying that, Ash couldn't help but look around. When he saw the coffins filled with Pretty Cure scattered throughout the mountains and fields, even Ash showed an expression of "I don't understand but I'm shocked" under his mask. His shock level was no less than the feeling of a Decade fan when he saw the Decade 21 form.

When I heard them talk about the Pretty Cure who were defeated by the Phantom Empire all over the world, I thought they all died heroically. Considering such a high death rate, I wonder if this Pretty Cure series has any adult-oriented work.

In the end, they were all sealed, which scared me... But isn't this too much?

Ash thought about what he had agreed with Snow White and Yuko not long ago. It seemed that the plan had to be adjusted a little bit... or just go with the flow.

"Damn it, decade!"

He twisted his wrist to break free from the other party's iron-like grip, and the phantom, with one hand already on the hilt of the sword behind his back, looked at the knight in front of him warily.

I was originally thinking he might even be able to follow me here, but not only that, but his timing was so perfect!

"A...Ash...!"

Hearing the familiar voice, the girl with two deep tear marks on her cheeks gradually regained some light in her eyes. She forced herself to smile, which was uglier than crying, and looked at Ash as if he was her "last hope".

"Are you here to save me?"

"..."

Without answering, Ash glanced at the tortured and desperate expression on Iona's face who was kneeling beside him, and her palm which was swollen and red with blisters. No one except the system could know his expression under the mask at this moment, so he turned his gaze back to the phantom.

"Is it a phantom...you did it..."

"You're really qualified~"

As soon as these words were spoken, whether it was Iona who was eagerly waiting beside him, the phantom who was being praised, or the phantom queen who was following the live broadcast, they were all stunned for a moment by Yaxiu.

"Look at that little girl's expression, tsk tsk." Ash, who was so exaggerated that he shook his head, commented as if it had nothing to do with him. "She looks like she's longing for someone to hug her and let her cry... Tsk tsk, so pitiful. You really are a qualified villain to torture her like this~"

"Woo..." Unable to hold back her grievance any longer, tears once again rolled down the girl's face, which was unable to remain strong.

"What on earth do you want to say—"

"That's what I meant to say." Pulling a Black and White Knight card from the card case and opening the two sides of the driver, Ash spoke in a calm, nonchalant tone. "You're a truly evil villain in this world, truly qualified... Do you think you can surpass me, a Destroyer?"

"?"

This guy is talking nonsense, I can't understand it.

"I will never allow anyone to be more evil than me!"

He inserted the card with an angry shout, and when he couldn't pull it any further, Ash violently pushed the left and right switches of the driver closed.

"[KamenRide (Masked Driving)——]"

"[Ark-One]"

Chapter 100 Ake 1, the only conclusion!

A more interesting point is that although "Zero Two" and "Ark-One" actually use different transformation devices, they are other knights completely independent of "Kamen Rider 01".

But in deacde's knight card system, these two knights are probably classified as the derivative forms of 01 because they are transformed from Hiden or Ren, so Ash, who now has Kadoya Kadokawa's gold coins, can naturally use them.

“Henshin——!”

"[KamenRide Ark-One]!"

Countless malicious words expressing malice screamed out from under Ash's feet like sticky muddy water. In a flash, the despair of the Pretty Cure girls on the land of the "Pretty Cure Cemetery" at his feet was transformed into malicious energy and absorbed completely.

"hateful!"

Even the phantom who saw the situation was not good and wanted to rush forward to interrupt the transformation was forced to retreat by the "evil of this matter" surging from Ash's body. These surging malicious tides deliberately bypassed Hikawa Iona who was kneeling on the ground and crying blankly, and once again concentrated on the center, Ash who was smiling from under his mask.

"[Singurise! Destruction! Ruin! Despair! Perish!]"

The tide of malice slowly settled on Ash's body, transforming into a sharp black and white armor. The fine red light flowing through the tubes on his chest, combined with the "Ark" above his left eye, emitted a terrifying and dazzling red light.

"[Conclusion One]"

Even the seemingly calm Phantom was feeling intensely resentful in his heart about the transformation effects on Ash that didn't look like a good guy at all.

Damn, with this momentum, who is the villain?

"Do you know who will finally succumb to such an inherently unruly entity as the evil villain party?"

With his sharp fingertips resting on his shoulders, he twisted his neck, making a crisp "crackling" sound. Ash felt the "malicious" power filling his body. He was not unfamiliar with this power at all, but was very familiar with it.

After all, because of the Dark Echo... You should know that when he first connected to the "Ark" in the 01 world, he was permanently kicked out of the login privileges by the other party's host. Even the "Ark" host said that its small temple could not accommodate a great god like him.

He just has some small things, but he doesn't even give me the authority to do that. How stingy of a dog.

"Answer one is, of course, the extremely powerful messenger of light and justice who can easily bring evil to its knees."

After opening his palm, a dark purple briefcase was printed from the belt into his hand.

"The second answer is a darkness even more terrifying and profound than the original evil!"

"[Arrow Rise (crossbow lift)!]"

Ash casually threw away the briefcase crossbow in his hand and aimed the arrows that flashed with electronic data at the phantom in front of him.

"So I specially prepared this role for you. Isn't it good?"

"Insanity!"

Facing several data arrows shot at him at high speed, Phantom danced a light sword in front of him with great force and blocked all the attacks. The arrows that flew out hit the man's feet and exploded into beautiful sparks.

But at this distance, you're actually using a bow and arrow to attack me? If I can break through his arrow array and get close, the balance of victory will tilt towards me! This is the result of your arrogance in rashly choosing to use weapons!

"Close combat is to my advantage—what?!"
