Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

After the glow from her body sank back into her, Iona inched forward, placing herself before her fellow fighters. "Is the fate in my name a chain that binds me, or a driving force that propels me forward? Does the battle I bear carry a part of others?"

"That's my answer, indeed."

The girl's fist swung out and collided with the holy sword. What surprised Ash was that this new power was indeed different from the previous feeling. It was a light that was qualified to wrestle with him!

"In the past, I fought to avenge my sister, but in reality, I was constantly carrying hatred for the Phantom Empire and resentment towards that princess." The star-like purple light that splashed from the collision between the girl's fist and the sword illuminated both of their faces. As Iona fought, she seemed to use the enemy before her as a chatterbox, speaking non-stop, pouring out her long-simmering conflicts. "As someone like me, I'm naturally bound by fate and unable to see clearly."

Whether it's the entanglement of being unable to reconcile with the princess, or the hesitation in front of you who is both good and evil, it's all like this.

"But, I'm different now. I want... protection!"

"Protect my friends, who gave me something precious, and their world!"

The girl found the right opportunity and launched a high kick that swept past Ash's chin. The girl retreated immediately with her fingertips together, and several small stars flew out, surrounding Ash like floating cannons and continuously shooting light at him.

"If this fate is destined to be dire, then let me become the star of hope that rewrites the established facts for everyone!"

"Well said, Pretty Cure!" Holding the holy sword in front of her, she struck a strange and graceful pose, deflecting all incoming light. "Reality is becoming more and more real!"

After jumping up, he twisted his body in mid-air and passed by the web of light around him. Ash immediately pulled and swiped the position of the emblem with his right hand.

"[Wolf smoke! World time! Read!]"

After kicking the trident in front of him and letting it blow up several stars, Ash pulled out the gun with his backhand.

"[Boundary Time Erasure]!"

"Disappeared?!" With the sound of waves rippling in her ears, Iona watched Ash disappear from the starry sky. Before she could find out where he had gone, the alarm bells behind her rang, causing her to instinctively dodge to the other side.

"Fortune Star Burst!"

"[Wolf Smoke Bug!]"

Without even looking, she used the explosive starlight in her hand that was designed for close range to blast behind her, but there was no sign of Ash in the scene behind her that looked like an asteroid shattering. Only countless misty smoke flowed down between her star-burning fingers and then slowly gathered. The girl reacted at the critical moment and immediately raised her hand, narrowly catching the rapier that was hovering on the tip of her nose.

"Not bad!" Feeling the power that held the sword together with himself, Ash even licked his lips excitedly under the mask.

She was actually able to catch it... Not only that, the confusion in her eyes had indeed disappeared, and she was also enjoying the battle with me!

Compared with the previous Angel of Destiny, the Hikawa Iona in front of him is different from the inside out!

Ash, who originally used the full power of the Ten Sacred Blades, was "disappointed" and thought that this time he could only spend a boring and crushing garbage time, but he never expected that he would feel happier and happier when fighting with her.

Being able to use your overwhelming strength to overcome others during their novice protection period, such an opportunity is rare!

"What an amazing transformation and determination." While praising and nodding with satisfaction at the girl, Ash once again swept his hands over the Ten Sacred Blades at a rapid speed.

"[Xin Yin! Ji Tu! Read!]" After several purple daggers appeared in a row above Ash's head, they bent side by side and turned into a barrage of swords and spears that fired at the same time, suppressing the girl and forcing her to retreat. With his backhand, Ash grabbed the Ten Sacred Blades upside down in his hand and grabbed the khaki giant sword that weighed thousands of pounds. He dropped it down on Iona with unmatched force.

[Xinyin, Jitu! Cross Slash!]

At the critical moment, Iona, with her hands clasped together above her head, narrowly avoided the threat of the holy sword Gedo. The girl, who had accomplished the feat of catching the blade with her bare hands, felt the weight of the holy sword with sweat all over her forehead.

"So, what about your sister?" Coincidentally, right behind Ash, in the stalemate, was her sister, Marina Hikawa. "The Phantom Queen said I can choose any Pretty Cure here."

"Then is it okay for me to take her home and play with her as I please?"

"!"

Calm down, Iona... Calm down, you know he's just joking, it's just a joke...

"But, he's really... a guy who's too reckless!"

"Of course, since I have this qualification, I will do it."

Ash could read the conflict and tenderness towards him from her face, which came from her own "kindness" and was really childish and naive.

However, I don’t hate this naiveté.

"Or, will you defeat me here and become one of the Pretty Cure chosen by me to take back with me?"

"Gu..."

Along with Ash's devilish words, the heavy sword with increased power pressed down on the girl's shoulders. The irresistible gravity made the girl's feet sink into the mud for a while, and finally she knelt on one knee in front of Ash.

So strong... so strong! It's like five phantoms from the past are rushing towards me at once. How can I resist? How can I resist?

"elder sister...."

The newly born angel of destiny couldn't help but glance at his sister who was still sealed in the mirror coffin out of the corner of his eye.

Strangely, a faint smile of encouragement seemed to appear on Hikawa Marina's originally sad face.

This time, I didn't choose to save my sister, the one I wanted to save the most...

Because there are other people right in front of me who need me to save. The princess and Hui are behind me right now!

I am Pretty Cure!

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry."

The huge force that suddenly erupted from the girl's arms broke the giant sword above her head in half with a forceful left and right motion. The girl, who was becoming more and more dazzling in front of Ash, pushed him back forcefully.

Tears also flowed down while I was smiling bitterly.

"But this is all right, right? This is all right, right, sister?"

Now, I also have people and things I want to protect, just like you!

I also want to be like them, to make others happy, and protect them...even to protect Mr. Ash's happiness!

"Choose quickly!"

Shaking off the broken giant sword, Ash, in high spirits, grasped the gleaming Blade King Sword Ten Sacred Blades and declared to the equally gleaming Angel of Destiny.

"Submit to me!"

"Or die here!"

The girl, clapping the new instrument-shaped weapon in her hands, raised the "Tambour of Destiny" which was emitting a wonderful starry sky melody above her head. Her whole body was shrouded in the waves, and the serious-looking Hikawa Iona also sincerely told Ash what she wanted!

“I want to create the future with my companions.”

Then, the starlight collided with the starlight.

"Blade King Star Creation Slash!"

"Precure Starlight Ascension!"

The two similar yet different forces transformed into endless white light that illuminated everything in the world. In the end, Hui and the Phantom Queen, who were watching the battle, could not bear it and raised their hands to block the light in front of them.

The stars return to the sky.

Chapter 111: A Large Collection of Guangmei Illustrations

The fateful battle at the Pretty Cure Cemetery was now a thing of the past for both sides.

If Ash were to give his evaluation, it would be the most exhilarating battle in this world so far. After all, although he always said that he didn't want to be a nanny for little girls, he couldn't help but take action when he saw them in trouble and looking useless. If he continued like this, he would probably only have his mouth tough.

"But what a pity, an opponent who can make the Ten Sacred Blades go all out... Forget it, Ash, one should not be too greedy."

Leaning against a mirror coffin, Ash raised his hand to wipe the dust off the surface, then he carefully looked at the peaceful appearance of the sleeping beauty with long black hair inside.

"Although it's better than the heroic sacrifice I initially thought everyone would make, at least one life was saved."

However, they lost all their friendships and family ties in the prime of their lives, were sealed away, and became a "vegetable"-like existence with no consciousness. Even the knowledge of their true identity was left in the past... For some of them, this might be a result more terrifying than death, right?

"So... the god who created the mass-production system for Pretty Cure." Looking at the mirrored coffins scattered across the gray ground before him, the thought of how many young girls' sorrow and tears were contained within them made Ash's scalp tingle. "With so many Pretty Cures, you... better not be treating them as expendable to protect the Earth."

"Otherwise, I would probably get really angry."

Ash, lamenting these tragic girls and a certain god, now finds himself in an alternate universe known as the "Graveyard of Pretty Cure." Ever since the Phantom Queen promised him these girls as a reward, Ash has been languishing there, groping at the girls' coffins, earning the nickname "Perverted Lolita" from Hoshiwa, who once used him as a chair.

Of course, the reason he did this was not for such superficial needs. These days, Ash has been counting the number of "killed" Pretty Cure girls and trying to find the correct way to open the seal.

"If we torture that Phantom guy... he probably won't say anything. I can tell from his loyal eyes."

Of course, someone will definitely ask, why bother with all this? Can't you just use your invincible Kamen Rider power to brute force it? To this idea, Ash can only say that it is really naive.

He had made similar attempts in the past, and had failed very successfully.

When facing Emperor Chrysis, Ash considered creating a new world through a series of maneuvers that bypassed restrictions and ultimately resolved the dilemma facing the Demon Realm, which was forced to fight Earth and Kamen Rider. However, the result was a setback that even Ash couldn't understand. If RX hadn't experienced another "miracle" and reversed time and space, Ash would have become the ultimate executioner, responsible for billions of lives.

Besides, if I really did that, the Phantom Queen would completely break off relations with me. Now, that Queen still thinks highly of me, at least not now! In short, there's no time to rush.

"But, isn't it weird?"

The "demographics" of Pretty Cure during this period was an eye-opener for Ash. After all, Pretty Cure of all skin colors and types from almost all countries in the world could be found here.

There's no need to elaborate on their incredibly good looks as a basic standard, but there are also various other elements stacked on top of each other, such as Pretty Cures with all kinds of strange hair colors or hairstyles, tomboy Pretty Cures, twin Pretty Cures, Pretty Cures who look like girls but are actually boys, married women Pretty Cures, and even wild Pretty Cures with nothing in them... Well, except for the "married woman" which was made up by Ash and doesn't actually exist, the others are indeed true!

Aside from not finding a Neanderthal, Ash had collected every single one of the "Pretty Cure" illustrated books. However, one thing that always puzzled him was that there were already several high school and even college Pretty Cure characters like Lily, but for some reason...

Everyone's breasts are flat enough to stop an airplane, and some of the steel-plate-shaped ones even look like they could easily stop a few bullets. What's the logic behind this? This doesn't make sense... The "Fresh Pretty Cure" we saw in the last movie clearly had breasts! It's a real shame I didn't get to visit their world to see it.

"Hey, hey." Ash, leaning against Hikawa Marina's mirrored coffin, raised his hand and tapped the glass in front of the girl's face. "Could it be that the only requirement for becoming a Pretty Cure is having flat chests? That's discrimination! It's body discrimination!"

The mirror surface that touched the palm made a silent muffled sound, and the black-haired girl with long straight hair, whose body was wrapped and sealed with ribbons, still closed her eyes like Sleeping Beauty, without any reaction.

Give me some reaction, don't you think I, Ash, would dare to flirt with anyone I meet when I travel all over the country? I'm really embarrassed that you didn't even respond.

"So, how can I save you? Do I have to imitate that lesbian prince and give you a kiss?"

As he spoke, Ash tapped the cracks on the mirror with his fingers again, but apart from the dull echo, Ms. Marina did not react to his verbal harassment and teasing.

"Tch, it's boring."

I remember that this sister was the one who was most worried about the glacier's original source of power. She cried so hard when I told her about it.

Looking at the face of the "Sleeping Beauty" in front of him, which was very similar to Iona's, suddenly an experience from the past came to Ash's memory.

Back then, when I was undercover as a student under Dr. Death, Ash, I also followed him to perform the most recent cyborg surgery. I remember that time, I proved to him that a master doesn't have to be better than his apprentice...

"Hehe~"

Ash's sudden sinister laugh caused the phantom approaching from behind to shudder inexplicably.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty~"

Now let me, on your side, draw on the experience of a similarly evil organization called "Shockar".

Who told you evil doctors to always put brainwashing last when performing transformation surgeries? If you don't fail, who will?

"What do you want to say to the Queen?"

Chapter 112: The Villains Think You're Too Extreme

"Who is this, isn't it a phantom?"

Unsurprised by the questioning behind his back, Ash even bowed politely to his defeated opponent. "I was praising the Queen. After all, it's the Pretty Cures she mentioned, all of them are mine to choose from. Anything goes! I'm so inconveniently stuck, it's a real waste!"

This guy, this is definitely not what he wanted to say before!

Despite this certainty, Phantom had no proof, and since the Queen was still very optimistic about him, he could only glare at him with hostility. "Decade...why are you so obsessed with Pretty Cure?"

"What exactly is your conspiracy!?"

Phantom was extremely unhappy about this new member "joining" the Phantom Empire. If the Queen herself had not expressed her favor for him, he would have continued to fight with Ash to the death no matter what.

In this situation where the other party is not being treated favorably, it is only natural that Phantom is always targeting and suspicious of him.

Of course, this matter was also within Ash's expectations.

"It's not a conspiracy." Ash spread his hands helplessly, even raising his arms as if to think carefully. "As for the reason why I'm so obsessed with Pretty Cure...if I had to say it."

“Because I like them!!!”

The corner of Phantom's eye twitched slightly. If they themselves were not the most evil villain organization in the world, Phantom might have called 110 to ask the police to bring this evil to justice.

"These Pretty Cures! Courage, love, such light, shimmering!" Ash spread his arms, raising them to the sky like a cage. His exaggerated behavior before the phantom mimicked the way villains would reveal their evil plans to the protagonist. As for the repetitive words he used to confuse the phantom...

Not really, it’s all fake.

"How can anyone not like them?"

The phantom felt not only his eyes twitching, but also the corners of his mouth. Hearing this, even the muscles on his face began to twitch uncontrollably, twisting into an expression that was not sure whether it was disgust or nausea. In the end, it turned into a meaning he wanted to express:
