Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"Then, join the heroes who saved us in the past and protect this eternal paradise."

Finally, after such a long time, it was the turn of these two people to have a face-to-face conversation again.

"Systrom... Never mind. Such a complicated title as 'artificial god created by the wishes of countless people' doesn't suit you.

Although I gave you this name randomly when I was reading an online novel, I will still call you System."

Although he hadn't hesitated in the battle against the New Hundred Worlds, Ash had a lingering hope. He hoped there might be some mistake, some misunderstanding, or perhaps he was being manipulated... that the system that had accompanied him for so long was just part of a much larger "system."

Even though he had learned this from Yashu a long time ago, he could understand it, but he was unwilling to believe it.

"I want to trust you, trust the person you were with me."

So please say something unexpected to me, I want to confirm your true thoughts.

"This is the moment, after such a long time, we finally found a way to make the world a better place for everyone."

Then, with her hands folded in front of her, the pink-haired girl, who always looked calm, answered like this, in stark contrast to her other face.

"The answer remains unchanged...

So, can you be sure that the world you obtain in this way will not spark new wars?"

"Yes. Remember that pioneering Palladium City you saw earlier? Everyone lived happily there." Systrom raised his hand in a certain direction. Through the window behind him, which had been turned off by the timer, he could see a corner of the world that was constantly absorbing other small worlds. "That city has now been absorbed into it, too. You can see it with your own eyes."

Indeed, as the place where Dust was defeated, Ash still remembers it vividly. He still remembers the people who lived there without any worries, and everyone was equally happy.

After being forced to come there, I forgot everything in the past and lived happily there.

"Ash, remember all the battles we've been watching."

After separating the feelings towards Ash as "Ash", the rest of the system's view is like this.

"Heroes protect their beloved homes, protect so many people... They are not afraid of pain, they are not afraid of death... They continue to fight here, even now."

What fascinates you is the shining mission of becoming the "sword and shield of the powerless." And for me, united by the will of the victims, I feel the same desire to repay these heroes who have saved me countless times.

"However, this constant will to fight...will eventually lead to disaster. Ash, think about this.

We've visited countless worlds of knights, met countless Ultramen from parallel universes, and encountered countless Pretty Cures. But it's not over yet. Even in 2055... their existence has yet to end.

"As long as someone needs him, a hero will appear no matter how many times. This endless will...will bring endless disasters..."

"So...I..."

"We must seal this planet and create a new world."

This is exactly the future that Wright had mentioned earlier.

"Ash, look."

A belt identical to the one Ash wore, the "Dust Driver," lay in Systrom's hand. The only difference was that the unrefined "Dark Echo," the power source, caused the tornado at its center to spin in reverse like a black hole, sucking in nearly all light.

This also explains why He made Wright choose to stop at the critical moment when he was about to be captured, because in fact His plan had already been completed earlier, but He just happened to see Ash coming and did not start it.

Next, simply unleashing the power within would completely cover the barrier, and then reset the rest of the multiverse. All the hard work that had been passed down until now was just a matter of pressing a button.

“Destruction is the hope of returning to square one.”

The system took the initiative to take a step towards Ash, and brought the belt to him as if offering a treasure.

“It’s a challenge to infinite possibilities.”

I hope you can identify with me again, join me, and walk with me, just like before.

Let the story that started with you end with you. I hope to give you the honor of pressing this button.

"Just like when a person dies, their soul will return to their homeland, cleansed of all sins and sorrows, and reborn anew. So, Ash, you don't have to worry about this at all."

Because all of this is the normal development of life.

"..."

After hearing so much from Him, Ash thought he would have a lot to say to Him.

The joy of reunion after a long absence, the hatred for His betrayal, the complaints about His actions, the refutation and persuasion of His change of heart.

But when he really came before Him, looking at His face that was calm yet vaguely filled with expectation, Ash found that he could not say anything.

All Ash wanted now was to keep his hands on his belt.

"Ash, do you think... the future will be, unnecessary?"

Seeing Ash's reaction, Systrom's face, which seemed to be recovering emotions, showed a faint tendency to turn towards sadness.

"Have you forgotten the agreement between you and me?"

"The one who forgot the promise is you."

"what......?"

The sudden answer made the system that was about to start the dust drive in hand pause.

“I will come here and appear before you wearing this belt.

It means I have already made the decision.”

It seems I'm not the only fool who harbors some kind of hope and fantasy in my heart.

The Ash Driver's tornado device spun again in response to his hand, and Ash took a step forward.

"You gave me this belt."

"Then I came and fulfilled the promise made at that time."

"I've decided I won't abandon the past. Let's put an end to it!"

Wright, who had been sitting on the ground without saying a word, suddenly jumped up and was about to pounce on the knight, but he was still one step too late compared to Ash!

After being stripped of all emotion by Ash, his face, once existing solely for his original purpose, showed signs of panic for the first time. He subconsciously tightened his grip and retreated, only to see the belt that determined the fate of the multiverse fly high before his eyes before he regained consciousness.

"Oh!"

Even Light, who attacked from behind, had almost completely exhausted his energy trying to stop the Mysterious Four while simultaneously engaging in a fierce battle with Ash. Without even needing to glance at him, he was knocked to the ground by a spinning kick from the right foot that had knocked his belt away.

"tread!"

Taking another step forward, the two people, who were almost touching each other, saw each other's figures in their eyes.

Then Ash took the first step.

Rider——

The scream of the boots that opened at the back tearing through the space of light overwhelmed the explosion of energy. When surrounded by plasma sparks splashing from the gaps in the armor, an arc almost like a storm swirled from Ash's right leg.

Systrom raised his hands simultaneously, staring up at the Dust Drive, which flew against gravity, then back at Ash, who was kicking forward. His bangs blew up from the heat of the flames before him, and his ruthless face, wide open, seemed to be about to do something.

But the raised hands eventually dropped down naturally.

“kick.”

No longer in the dull sound filled with passion, but in the straight kick filled with flames.

It passed through the girl's body with ease.

---------------

To be honest, when they felt that the dark echoes had reached their peak and even screamed with joy, the mysterious Four Ao almost suffered a cardiac arrest when they realized that they were still a step too late.

Fortunately, after so much time had passed, even after several robots and several beleaguered Kamen Riders had broken through the powerful enemy and entered this core area, they still didn't see the enemy wave his hand, grab the entire multiverse, and instantly refine it, resulting in a "GG" bad ending.

"It seems that Ash finally succeeded in doing it."

He is still the boy who makes people worry only at critical moments.

"But, no matter how bad that system is, it's still the most important to him..." The Pretty Cures, whose golden ponytail had dimmed a little, finally finished their confrontation. Even though they were all exhausted and worried, the girl who had just finished her golden ponytail suggested, "Um, is Ash okay... No, can we just go over and see him? I'm worried about his condition!"

It's not impossible for them to guess what Ash might have done to save the world, and that's why they want to support him when he's sad - this is the responsibility of a lover!

Seeing how anxious and positive they were, although they were all old, some of them were willing to do some good things to help them.

"Got it, then leave the rest to us."

After seeing them also fly into the timer window, the King of Ultra covered the unresponsive Light with his cloak, and came to the Dark Tower with the other three to release his legendary power.

Drawing on his past experience of merging with and repairing the entire universe, the King of Ultra now prepared to repeat his old tricks. With the help of the other three, he merged with the dark echoes and then used the power of light to gradually dissipate them and render them harmless.

"Although it will take a long time, it's also the safest—" Resolutely preparing to sacrifice himself, ready to begin the fusion with help, the King of Ultra was stunned. This dark echo was actually resisting him, as if... it was being controlled by something?

The next moment, two giant fists transformed and unfolded from the Dark Tower in a sudden and unexpected manner, clenching their fists and striking them directly!

With one punch, he knocked down Reijudo and Saga who were opening their arms, and then with another punch, he knocked King Ultra and Noah out without any resistance!

Chapter 295 Dust

The tiny flames lingering on his face illuminated the remaining half of Systrom's face, which remained calm, not appearing to be facing death.

"Why did it suddenly turn away at the end?"

Ash slowly retracted the leg that kicked away the "Dust Driver" from His face, and slapped his palm to easily extinguish the flames on it.

"My goal has never been to kill your system..."

After removing the knight's helmet with dangling tentacles, Ash once again gazed into the golden eyes that were now facing him with his black pupils.

Theoretically, He now exists just like an answering robot AI in order to accomplish his goals, but Ash still chooses to look into His eyes like this because he believes that only such words can reach the heart.

"System, you said that among the countless wishes that gave you life, you also wanted to repay the hero. Then I have a question for you.

Does a hero bear the fate of being a hero the moment he is born? "

The answer is: No.

When a hero is born, he or she may indeed have similar karma from a previous life.

But what truly makes a hero a hero is what he does, the results he leaves in the world's memory.

What determined that action was the hero's oath.

When heroes swear by their own imperfect justice, they begin to embark on this path to beauty.

That road was filled with the rumbling of a storm with strong winds.

Even if you have to work hard and bleed, you must grit your teeth and move forward.

When choosing that magnificent and tragic path, the hero will surely encounter the reason that makes him so determined.

"If you really want to say that you made all these plans for the sake of heroes!"

This is the shining Hero you and I see! Not the one you want to put in a barrier, like an animal displayed behind a museum window!

"Then, destroying this plan is also the joint decision of all the heroes currently fighting on Earth!"

“…”

Systrom closed his eyes and remained silent.

"...Looking back, it's not just the days we spent together, but also the heart and determination shown by humans. Are we really such weak beings that we need to be protected?

Is it really possible to have the future follow God's will? Why would you protect such a future, and why would you abandon your own future and choose to shoulder this mission alone?

"Aren't you the same in this respect, Ash?"

The man reflected in those soul-stirring golden eyes looked exactly the same as the young man he had been when they first set out. Yet, when they met again, he felt as if something was different.

"In pursuit of the brilliance you desire, you abandon your own future..."

"But I've made many friends through this, and I've even fallen in love with some who are willing to love me back. Even if you ask how difficult it is to continue this heroic history." If everything I've experienced so far has been a test, "but rather than running away, everyone wants to face it."

This is the answer conveyed by Ash to everyone.

"Are you trying to say that this is just a way of escaping?"

After finally getting up from the ground, Wright, who was even weaker, stood behind Systrom again. However, this time, he seemed to have noticed something and his eyes began to look to the other side involuntarily.

Someone's coming in...? Is it one of your people, Ash?

"That's right. Humanity doesn't need overprotective guardians. This has been proven countless times in the world you and I have seen so far."

"Well--!"

A glaring red light, symbolizing instability, flashed continuously on the indicator lights on his ears, and Systrom's usually calm face suddenly began to struggle visibly.

"Besides, now I already have a brand new future that I want to create with her."

“Ooooo…Ah!”
