Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

Because of this, Ash thought that what Dust said was just his crazy talk. He would not pay attention to a single word he said, let alone believe it!

"Next, it's the other two guys... No, no, no! As expected, we still have to find Mana and the others first!"

"Ash, come and see!"

Just as he was debating the order of priority, someone's voice snapped him back to his senses. Following the crowd's gaze, he spotted the live broadcast screen that had been activated by someone unknown, spanning a vast world.

It turns out it's not just the Showa Knights, but also the Ultra Brothers, the Showa Sentai from Hitomi Sentai all the way to Life Man! And there are even more heroes with flashy yet simple uniforms. These experienced veterans escaped at the last moment before being sealed away, and for the sake of the young people of the future, they joined forces to challenge Kaler, Light, and their Hundred Worlds!

Of course, the two men, each using their own abilities to seize their respective powers, and their armies were no pushovers. One wanted to carry out their plan, while the other tried to stop it! For a while, the two sides engaged in a fierce battle, leaving everyone sweating. After an hour and a half of theatrical action, the outcome was undeniable!

"Lose, lose?"

Even heroes have their limits. When the last hero finally collapsed from exhaustion, everyone in Ash couldn't help but clench their fists.

But this wasn't the end! In the shaky live video feed, Baijie didn't kill the fallen heroes, but finally detonated the "Space-Time Shock Bomb" that could break the walls between different worlds before everyone's eyes!

"Ash~!"

As luck would have it, at this critical moment, Yashu, with Puka on her head, ran towards this side with an innocent and romantic look on her face.

"Great! Thanks to you, I finally found where Mana and the others might be—Oh my!"

With a scream, Ash pounced on her and pressed his entire body on her!

However, before she could ask anything, the "bomb" on the screen finally exploded.

So, no matter where they were, everyone felt it at the same time, the reaction as that soul-shaking feeling swept through their entire body.

Chapter 24: It’s all Generation O’s fault!

"Then I'll be off."

Hugs, handshakes, fist bumps—no words needed, but the unspoken understanding of actions completes the spiritual connection between good friends. The gestures and expressions appear relaxed, but no one can tell if this will be the last time they meet.

But at the same time, no matter what lies ahead, no one will be afraid.

"Bon Voyage!"

After saying goodbye to his friends who each had their own missions, he picked up Puka, who was lying limply on his head and almost slipped off, and took the hands of Yaxiu, Yongjiu and others beside him, and walked in another direction.

As for how Ash embarked on a new journey again.

Everything started not long ago.

-

The multiverse that carried countless worlds such as Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, Ultraman, etc. completely disappeared after the detonation of the time and space shock bomb.

Don't get me wrong, this doesn't mean that a single bomb will wipe out everything in the multiverse. Rather, by detonating it, the "walls" between different worlds are broken down, and with the exception of a few exceptions, countless multi-infinite worlds are merged into a single world.

If this was the Hundred Worlds' goal, then they would have achieved it. But clearly, it wasn't. At least the offensive against them never ceased.

"However, this bomb, despite its immense power, didn't actually harm anyone... It seems that now that the old veteran has fallen, it's our turn to fight."

"The first contact between the inhabitants of different worlds, the mutual exploration and integration of the laws of different worlds. Scientific research talents from all over the world have been working non-stop for an unknown period of time to study this."

"Since Hikari went in, he's barely left his lab. The King of Nkosopa, upon learning about the situation, has buried himself in it. And that president, Danrito, has died of exhaustion seven times in just two weeks... So, I see, Ash, you're a scientific talent, too. Why are you the only one taking it easy?"

"I'm just a amateur scientist. I can't compare to those who graduated from orthodox academic institutions. I'd rather leave those principles and all the truths of the world to them."

Making up a random excuse, Ash placed the last belt into a huge mysterious device in the underground base.

"Okay, that's it!"

The knight's belt that everyone had lent to Ash not long ago in order to defeat Dust was now borrowed by him again and was to be placed in this mysterious device.

"This one……"

Smart people like Zhantu can almost understand the principle of this device, but people like Long who have little education don't understand it at all.

"Hey, Ash! We finally managed to snatch the power from that guy, why are you asking us to put the belt back in?"

"The power of you main knights has been regained, but the power of many other knights is still scattered outside. So I want to use this device to help them reunite their strength. You don't want to see your good brothers bullied, right?"

After hearing this, many people immediately understood.

"Of course, it's not just you. In order to fight against the Hundred Worlds, I want to try to gather everyone's strength... I'm kind of thinking about giving it a try."

"Ha! Ash, you say you're different from everyone else, but how could a common scientist do something like that?"

"Okay, those things can wait."

Pushing aside the person who was making a fuss in front of him, Shotarou, holding his hat, walked forward with a worried look on his face.

"But if that's the case, what are we going to do if we want to fight and protect the city without a belt?"

"Don't worry about that. I've already transferred the Knight's power to similar objects... for example."

"what!"

After receiving the Double Driver thrown by Ash, Shotaro immediately had an expression of "as expected".

"I told you, there's no way you're unprepared... Wait, why is this driver so light?"

"Shoutaro."

While the half-baked detective was still wondering, Philip had already turned the unpainted back of the driver in front of him.

"This driver has a one-piece color on the back."

"H...huh? Hey, wait a minute, Ash, I can't even wear this size around my waist--!"

Before he could finish his words, Ash threw something in front of him. Using his usual skill of dodging the director's slippers, Shotaro quickly dodged and picked it up, only to discover it was... an extension cord!?

"I know you must have your own difficulties, Ash, but..."

After taking the flaming sword Liehuo given to him, especially seeing the death water pattern on the back and the size of a small dagger, even the well-mannered Shenshan Feiyuzhen had a look of pain on his face.

"This, can't you really think of another way?"

Amid the noise, more and more people are finding themselves in a dilemma about the things they have on their hands.

"Hey, why is the battery compartment now where the driver should be?!"

"What is this, and why is there such a large hollowed-out area?"

"I stole the glue directly. That's too much!"

"The similar object I'm talking about is the DX Transformation Belt released by Bandai. After all, it was originally a toy based on the drama."

Trying his best to keep a straight face, Ash also took a few replicas of the belt.

"All of these come from my toy collection. Don't worry, they only look like toys. Through this device, their abilities are identical to your belts."

"Wait!"

After hearing what Ash said, someone immediately pointed at the belts in the hands of Inui Qiao, Kazuma, and Ryotaro.

"Then why are their belts so fine!"

"Because they have released a CSM series of belts."

"Then why don't I have a CSM? I only have a DX toy version that has stolen the glue, the color, and the size!"

"This is all Bandai's problem, go talk to Bandai!"

"Oh the Bandai!"

In short, after being almost surrounded and beaten for being too talkative, Ash packed his luggage, said goodbye to everyone, and prepared to embark on a new journey.

"It feels like the same excitement I felt before, when I embarked on a new journey with the system."

But now, a few years later, the time that used to be so commonplace has now passed in a long time. Is this journey that I thought would never end... finally coming to an end?

"Still can't forget Him?"

"It would be strange if he could forget."

"Then don't forget it."

As they held each other's hands, Yaxu's soft palms rubbed Yaxu's big hands in turn.

"Because she has never truly left you. No matter the end of life or death, her heart will always be by your side as long as you need her."

The girl simply responded to Ash with a sweet smile, as always.

Ash didn't say anything, but continued to hold her hand with a look of eternal worry in his eyes, looking up at the blue sky above his head and smiling.

Chapter 25 So Ash set out on his journey again.

"Ash~ I smell the scent of other Pretty Cure, oh Puka."

As Ash's spirit partner in his transformation into a Knight Angel, Puka, having shared the same Pretty Cure aura, was now quite familiar with it. After stroking her ears twice, Ash, holding her close, nodded.

"Since you said that, then the purpose of this trip must be correct. The purpose of this trip is to find them all."

After all, it's impossible to ignore Mana and the others scattered around the world, right? No one should be left behind!

"Haha~ It's definitely not going to be less, but whether it will be more or not is not certain~!"

Although from my personal point of view I shouldn't gloat over others' misfortune, I still quite like the fact that the fearless Ash is in such a panic because of this.

"Shut up, Yasu!"

After scolding the pink-haired girl who was giggling and almost couldn't help laughing, Ash continued to stroke her hand twice and found that her breathing had become stable again, so he pushed her back on his head, as if she liked her very much.

"Whoosh~"

As the king of an entire elven nation, I, Ash, thought I'd seen all sorts of elves. He had a cute bunny face, but why was he even lazier and sleepier than a sloth?

"Could it be with Prim... That's not right."

Recalling the past. Prim obviously prefers to squeeze me in bed rather than just stay in, so why do you have to… It seems that even the same existence can develop into different types.

"Well, I should be the one who knows this best."

If there's anything good about what happened, there was some good in the single major event of the entire multiverse merging.

That means there's no more, no need to travel to other worlds! The Kingdom of Light might be right on top of Sky Island right now, and Helheim might be right next to Mushiraku. Wherever you want to go, you can get there with just this one leg, though the distance might require careful consideration.

However, Ash's search doesn't have to be done on foot; that would be exhausting. With Ash's light radar, the search area can be greatly narrowed!

"Approaching~Shocker~"

Humming a Showa tune, Ash continued pushing the "Tornado" motorcycle. Originally built with the system's help and the belt, it was the ultimate motorcycle equipped with all the abilities of a "Knight Machine." It was originally built for him, and now it could be considered his wish come true.

But...looking at Twilight and Regina sitting in their seats, Ash was speechless.

"It's true that I just thought pushing a stroller at sunset was romantic on a whim, that's my problem...but is it really okay for you guys to just continue sitting there as if nothing happened?"

"Haha~ What's wrong with that?"

The white-haired girl, who was laughing elegantly, smiled until she turned into a red-haired girl. Although she was a little restrained after becoming permanent, she agreed with her other self.

"I think this is very romantic too~ After all...sitting in Ash's car, he seems quite happy~"

"Ash is so strong, so what if there are two of us?"

Although she and Twilight are at odds, the strange Regina actually has a good relationship with her if it is permanent.

"Besides, this is the princess's request! You are not allowed to refuse. Or do you think the two of us are too heavy for you to carry?"

If you dare to say that, I will be really angry!

"Of course not."

Hearing Ash's answer, the girl hummed with joy and continued to lick the cherry lollipop in her hand. The way her black silk feet in red leather shoes swayed naturally on the edge of the seat attracted Ash so much that he couldn't take his eyes off them.

I never thought of it before, but Regina is indeed able to be so attractive even in a place like the Selfish Organization. It's no wonder that she was so obsessed with Miss Ai that she even forgot about her good friend Rikka (laughs).

"Oh, right, Ash! Let's continue what you said before and tell me how you defeated that guy in the end."

"Oh~ Let's continue from last time."

"That guy stubbornly believed in his own ideas until the very end, so I followed everyone else and saw him off."

Knowing nothing about going to the world, and with the long journey and nothing to do to entertain himself, Ash told them the story that happened not long ago, when he defeated Dust.

"Ashes will eventually rekindle, and dust will eventually return to dust. So just like that, the original four people minus one person became three people, and one of them is still with me."
