Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

It doesn't look like it's going to end yet.

"Megumi! Ash! Are you guys here?!"

Faintly, I could hear Xiaoji and the others calling out, but I'm sorry, I'm so blurry that I probably won't be able to hold on until they arrive.

"Apologize to them on my behalf."

But before that... I still have things to do.

"benefit..."

"Ok?"

Holding Ash's increasingly cold hand, she responded softly, wanting to at least remember this "warmth" in the end.

"It's not... past 12 o'clock yet, is it?"

Ash breathed a sigh of relief after receiving a nod of affirmation. At least he had caught up in the end.

"I always, always remember it."

"What day is today."

The girl, who was originally a little confused, finally couldn't help but open her already red eyes wide when she saw the man trembling and pushing the thing in front of her.

That was, the invitation letter that had been torn into pieces and glued back together was sent over together with his light-changing mirror, and on top of these things, a handmade wooden comb lay quietly on it.

What could no longer be endured now also fell straight down.

"benefit."

The man lying in the girl's arms raised his fingers and gently wiped away the girl's tears.

“Happy birthday.”

Postscript of the Yukimitsu Group: "[My Ash is the strongest!]" (Chapter 6K5)

dark.

It's not that you can only see darkness because you close your eyes, but that the scenery here does not exist except darkness.

This is the world after death, a world that originally belonged to Ash and was revised after his death.

Unable to speak, unable to see, unable to think, even the act of thinking itself does not exist, as if all the meaning of his life has been integrated into this infinite void.

However, except for Ash.

Normally, the system would send his soul back here along with the collected dark echoes, and then purify the echoes he carried by cleansing his memory, ensuring that his soul would always remain clear and clean.

But this time, it was different. He had transformed Kei's darkness into echoes, then somehow packaged them together and "sent" them over. After the system went offline, this was the first time he lay awake in this world. He closed his eyes, feigning unconsciousness, lying in this world, listening to the voices of the other three.

"Ash, you're amazing... You're worthy of being me!"

Dust's yelling and cursing could be heard, but no one noticed that he was pretending to be asleep and no one bothered to check. After all, it is difficult to change a habit that has been maintained for a long time.

"You know that the only thing I lack is Decade's power, so you're willing to use her to destroy the belt and your life?"

"What does it matter? Didn't you defeat all the Kamen Riders of both the righteous and the outward paths and take over their powers? Why do you have to be short of that Decade?"

"Aren't they all just borrowing power? Are you knights still lacking something similar?"

Another cynical voice mixed in, and even with his eyes closed, Ash could hear the sound of him swinging the gun in his hand out of boredom.

"Then if you were to lose the Gokaija's power, would you be happy with that?"

"I don't care. I just inherited some of Ash's memories. I'm not the real Ash."

"Stop! Or are you planning to start a fight among yourselves to eliminate the actual controller of Dark Echo?"

It was ethereal and solemn, and the meaning contained in it was completely unlike the echo that a human could express. Ash, who had never thought that he could make such a sound, got goosebumps when he heard it.

Well, if they really are my "clones" after completely seizing the powers of others, then I am no different from a sheep to be slaughtered in front of them now.

What can I do?

Think carefully, Ash. Since you've already decided to face everything on your own in front of Kei, think about what you can do now that you've lost your system.

"The question now is, as the key to activate Dark Echo, you only brought back half of Him, right?"

A being composed entirely of light was harshly accusing Dust.

Because you violated our previous agreement and had no intention of joining forces, but instead wanted to take it all for yourself. So, before Ash returned to the world for the last time, you contacted him first, alerted him, and only brought back half of the system you had robbed.

It's your fault that you have to face such an embarrassing situation now.

"hehe."

Dust, his face scarred and clearly beaten, looked at the other two "selves" with a mocking smile. "Don't you dare say you don't have similar thoughts? You're saying I'm planning to keep it all for myself?"

"It's just that my actions were implemented earlier than your plan, right?"

"..."

"Ha, what, you're speechless again?"

Hearing the silence that no one could respond to, the "sleeping" Ash was also calculating rapidly in his mind.

Team discord? Of course, if everyone is "Ash," that's bound to happen. Taking advantage of this... No, it wouldn't be a problem for them to deal with me first and then start fighting among themselves.

Is it really the end of all solutions?

'wrong. '

Ash was aware that the system wanted to use the "Dark Echoes" they had collected so far to hold some kind of world-changing ceremony. After all, that was what they had agreed upon.

Ash also learned during his battle with Dust that these guys betrayed the system at the last minute and wanted to use the "Dark Echo" ritual to fulfill their wishes. However, now that things have come to this, if the Dark Echo, which was originally kept by the [System], was stolen by them, then

So where did they place these beings?

As he cut through the thinner air in a manner that was as unobtrusive as possible, Ash felt a sense of enlightenment in his heart.

"So, has it always been like this?"

"Rather than arguing, the biggest question now is what we should do next, right?"

"It's obvious what we need to do. Isn't the final piece of the puzzle right there, waiting for us to take it?"

Hatred, pity, and pain, Ash immediately felt three different gazes locked on him.

"Dust... He is still Ash."

The first voice to speak was the one whose words carried an echo. "No matter what you think, he is the one who shaped us, Ash."

"Oh, then do you think it would be better if we acknowledge him as our father?"

He laughed, couldn't help laughing. Dust looked at the man of light who was blocking Ash's way with a playful look.

"You clearly possess a power greater than anyone else."

"But my heart is softer than anyone else's."

Even though I insulted him like this, he remained indifferent.

Otherwise, you could have used the excuse of my previous mistakes to eliminate me earlier instead of just giving me a lesson.

Just like what I've always done... But you wouldn't do it even if you had the chance, not only because of your kindness, but also because only Ash and I can do anything about the system.

"..."

Dust's eyes swept over the other guy in colorful clothes. He just shrugged at Dust and signaled him to take action. He had no intention of getting involved in these troubles.

"Huh, what a waste."

Despite cursing, Dust remained extremely alert in his direction. "Don't worry, I don't intend to vent my anger on him. He lost everything in the end, didn't he?"

"Then I'll just throw him into some random new world and let him wake up and recall his pain alone...!"

Duster, who was muttering to himself and reaching out his hand to Ash, suddenly realized that something was wrong. It must be that Ash's hand had grabbed his arm while he was sleeping. The expression he used to mock others not long ago was turned back by Ash to mock him.

"Then I really do, thank you for your kindness!"

Concentrating all his strength for this moment, Ash threw the extremely heavy Dust away with his feet, and at the same time, he was rolled in a certain direction by the reaction force.

"Wonderful, beyond my expectation."

With a simple tuck, Dust stood up again and quickly figured it out. "That's right, but what's the point of your resistance?"

"Maybe it's because I hate surrendering? And I hate handing my friends over to betrayers?"

"What a disgusting guy—well, you've only met me, right? How about meeting the other two who are going to completely crush you later?"

Since you resist, the following matters cannot be resolved peacefully.

"Light." A being, shrouded in purest light, his features blurred until only his form could be discerned as human, answered Ash's question in a voice devoid of emotion. "It's the Ash who seized the power of the Ultraman series."

"Feel sorry."

"Color~" With a look of horror, he waved his only remaining hand at the smiling man, Ash, and then drew a line across his chest, marking the five inverted symbols of different colors. "As you can see, they represent the different colors. So, I'm in charge of the Super Sentai side. I'm sorry, but even so, I'm the only one representing the team."

"That kid named Hui, he looks very happy."

"..." Faced with these three opponents, Ash, who had nothing to offer, moved back and took a deep breath to calm himself. "Why would you attack the world of heroes?"

"Because the system and what you're about to do will definitely be stopped by them," the indifferent Kaler explained after being asked. "So, before they can gather and perform some miracle to defeat you all at once, we, those of us with the corresponding special attack skills, were created to strike first and seize their power, so that they won't get in the way."

"But as you can see, we have no intention of using this power for the right purpose."

"That truly disappoints Him and me." To stall for time, Ash pondered a new question. "I'm not surprised you'd betray me, but what do you intend to do by demanding something from Dark Echo?"

"Dark Echo is the energy the system uses to interfere with time and space, fundamentally changing the foundational structure of all worlds and the universe."

"So, excuse me, we also want our own world. Since there are desires, there will be a world we want to realize, right?"

That's about it, right? As for the deeper meaning? Haha, maybe we haven't figured it out ourselves, so why would we tell you?

"Is that so?"

Now that we know the reason, it's easy.

"So, could you please hand over that being that wants to take action against everything to us?"

“No, because He is my friend.”

That's really great.

The emerging belt transformed Dust into a "Kamen Rider", and the two people on the other side also took out the "Beta Capsule" and "Gear Machine Gun" respectively and transformed into their respective representative appearances.

"This way, we can legitimately make you bleed."

At the same time, the combined power of the three major special effects series surrounded Ash. However, Ash had no power to fight back except himself...

Is it really?

"I was wondering, why does something like the Grim Reaper exist?" Ash laughed as he watched the dark shadow and scythe quietly appear behind him. "They say this is where I'll rest after death, but this isn't hell. It's a world created by the System, right?"

Otherwise, why do you always look like you want to reap my soul, but never take advantage of the time when I can't resist?

"Wait, wasn't that Grim Reaper just a pretty special effect created by Him?"

Seeing that the other three people looked completely surprised by the existence of the "God of Death", Ash finally smiled.

"..." Removing his hood, the "Grim Reaper" revealed a being composed entirely of data traffic within his skull. "I am the subsystem He created for you after experiencing the 102nd world with you."

"for what?"

"[My mission is to return your soul to reincarnation when your soul can no longer bear it, or when even it breaks down and loses the ability to respond to you. I will give you true peace and allow you to forget all this and start a new and happy life.]"

"In the end, I managed to hold on, didn't I?"

“[......]”

"What if I still don't want to give up?" Ash glanced at the restless guys over there and hooked his finger at the "God of Death." "What if I want to accept everything that represents my essence?"

"Dark Echoes, said to be powerful enough to shake the very foundations of the multiverse... but ultimately, I only collected them bit by bit. They've always been mine!"

"Do it!"

It was too late, as a very familiar ominous light shot towards Ash from their hands.

"Cover me with the veil of night!"
