Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

Similarly, when countless miracle flashlights were shaking, the Pretty Cures who also heard countless cheers from miracles bit their lips to release the blood, and while being wrapped in the same light, they stood up again with unyielding fear and horrific wounds on their bodies!

“Drink ah ah ah—!”

The light that blossomed from the shackles of darkness instantly illuminated the entire inner battlefield. The Heart-Grabbing Light Beauties, who had emerged from their cocoons and become butterflies, once again clenched their fists towards Scarlet Timmons.

Yukimitsu and Mitsumi pretended to be beaten into cards and rushed out, and together with Ainoe, who pulled herself away from the sword despite the pain, turned around and kicked the Decade in the center.

The smiling beauties who had never let go until now, with their wings spread out from behind, finally let the light they burst out purify the king's sword when the light reached its peak.

"It's time to return this world that's been locked in your darkness to us!"

The sword's glow only took away a few strands of Haruka's hair. The companions who escaped from the explosion in time stood together. Surrounded by miracles, the princesses who looked more like "princesses" than ever before stood behind the glow on the magic wand and declared to the opposite side together.

"Are you ready to make up your mind?"

"Heartless Mr. Longya! Your heart——"

The dragon Black that belonged to Ash brought the real Heartbeat Pretty Cure from the mirror world back to Ai Aida, who was able to maintain a smile even though she was covered in pain.

"Let me find it for you again!"

The silver ring on the girl's heart with both hands was also so dazzling at this moment.

"Goo-"

"Is this the end? Dust!"

Dust wanted to refute, but the fist that hit his face almost rubbed the broken mask and his cheek together.

Following Ash's example, he allowed the "Miracle Light" to enter [S·B·A] as an impurity. With another system competing for the controller, not only was the [S·B·A] under his control nearly paralyzed by the constant conflicting commands, but he was now the one unable to use his power. Even the Dark Echoes that were now connected to him were—

No, he was shocked to find that the dark echo that had originally merged with him was now actually - starting to climb towards Ash along the punch that hit him in the face!

"What's going on?!" Not only him, even Ash didn't expect this and thought it was Dust's counterattack.

"[True malice is... no matter how bright the light of hope, it can never truly be extinguished... as long as there are people... as long as there is hatred and malice in people's hearts, I am immortal and indestructible—"

It was as if countless people were narrating in the same gloomy voice. This abrupt voice did not belong to anyone present. Could it be?

Without waiting for anyone to respond, the darkness wrapped around Ash's hand continued to climb up the pole!

"[As long as it is to fulfill the desire of hatred and anger, for the purpose of despair - as long as everything is destroyed, everything will be achieved!]"

That's right, this is the "Dark Echo's own consciousness," previously suppressed by Ash and never born, and now newly born after merging with Dust! As a being similar to the system, it is naturally driven by malice and has no mercy. Now faced with a crisis, it immediately wants to abandon Dust and control Ash!

"[As long as I can harness this power, I will possess a negative force no less powerful than before.]"

Although it was newly created, it was acting almost instinctively out of its own malice. But after all, it was Ash who collected it in the first place, so theoretically there was no problem!

Yes, theoretically. If it was the Ash before he came to [S·B·A], he might have succeeded.

But now, the miracle has just passed through Ash's hands, the people who love him are here, and the people he loves are here too, so...

In response to this, Ash himself, the system that was trying to seize control, and the Pretty Cure who had attached her thought body to him all had only one answer.

Give me something I don't know...

"roll!"

"[Ash is ours!]"

The strong resistance and the miraculous power he feared the most combined to send him rolling back to where he came from! It was at this moment that Dust grabbed these dark echoes and, ignoring the consciousness of both parties, stuffed them into his body.

"I'm sorry, I made you laugh."

Despite his apologies, Dust didn't just stuff the things back in. Instead, he continued stuffing more stuff into the machine as if he wanted to burst it, until he even channeled the S.B.A.'s own dark echoes into himself.

If we say that Dust had always achieved "true transformation" that surpassed Ash through fusion with Dark Echo.

So now he is on top of that, swallowing up the dark echo in turn!

"Now I will let you see my true self—the true, endlessly regenerating darkness. What is it like?"

The sudden increase in speed made it difficult for Ash to keep up.

When Dust began to pursue victory desperately, the situation became overwhelmingly unfavorable to Ash.

After several exchanges, Kamen Rider Dust, whose every color was completely eroded by darkness, became increasingly difficult to deal with. With perfect timing, a flaming elbow broke Dust's ribs. Almost smelling the burning smell, Ash twisted his body, taking advantage of the opponent's momentary loss of momentum to pierce his heart with a blazing white light from his right hand!

"Pfft!"

Dust laughed loudly as he allowed the other party to pierce his chest. Almost at the same time when Ash pulled his hand away, the area had recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It's useless!" Dozens of asphalt-like tentacles shot out from his chest. Ash spun and retreated, his boots ploughing two trails of sparks into the ground as he narrowly avoided the shadows that were enveloping him. "It's useless to me right now... This is something only I, of the three of us, can do!"

"Actually, I've always had a question. Why is the traitor among the three people Kamen Rider, and not the other two?"

To put it simply, in order to defeat Ash who is now in front of him, Dust really gave up everything and even used cheats without caring about his dignity.

"Then I can give you the answer."

"The original Ultraman was a space policeman hunting monsters, the original Super Sentai was a united force fighting against an evil organization, and the original Kamen Rider... was an invading weapon created by Shocker, but his skills weren't up to par!"

So the original righteous person was just Takeshi Hongo, and he had nothing to do with Kamen Rider.

"Now I am the same—"

Knight—fist!

An unexpected uppercut followed the opponent's dodged air strike and landed directly in his path! The opponent's hasty response was completely unable to withstand the wave of shock emanating from Ash's fist. Just as Dust's hand began to crumble and disintegrate under the impact...

At the same moment, countless identical fists came from all directions and combined with a unified force to hit his fist.

That's really cheating...

"Boom boom boom——!"

After countless explosions, Dust finally got what he wanted and made Ash sit on the ground with his arms covered, leaving a deep pit. He himself stood up like a god.

But through the half-torn mask, one could see that Ash's face was full of disdain for him even though he was clearly a loser?

"You're truly self-centered, willing to do something like this just to make others experience the despair you once felt..."

Before, you said you would do anything to destroy the world, but now you are devouring the dark echo just to defeat him... I don't know whether to say you are Dust who controls the darkness, or you have become Dust's dark echo.

Just like that, you want to leave proof that you're still alive? Even if the world you want to reach disappears, you don't care?

"Ha—isn't this the same as you? Everything I have now is a remnant of you!"

It wasn't just in front of Ash. When the panting Pretty Cures who had finally straightened their backs and smiled victoriously looked up, they saw one, two, three more Dark Knights appearing out of nowhere. The scene of countless opponents who had been defeated with great difficulty surrounding them at the same time was filled with despair.

"Don't implicate others here!"

Here we go again... Are you going to say that it's because of me, because of the system? You have made such a big fuss to take revenge on the world, don't you have any self?

And, I want to tell you this! I am not standing in front of you right now just because of such a boring story.

"The me now is different from the 'Ash' or 'Dust' inside you.

The man standing here is a man who has experienced meeting and parting with all kinds of people!"

Why did I walk out and you didn't?

"So you didn't lose to the world, but to your own weak heart!"

"Until now, you are still saying this kind of nice-sounding truth—"

Is it just some nice-sounding truths...it will be revealed soon, right?

"By the way, you're going to lose to us here!"

"Really? Hahaha! Us? Ash, have you finally been so bewildered by those little girls that you've lost touch with reality?" Dust, who hadn't expected to be rejected from this perspective, angrily clenched the nearly solidified darkness in his hand and threw it at him! "Then why is that man who always shouts about how love and friendship changed him standing alone in front of me now?!"

The flying dark arrow completely tore through one side of the mask, revealing half of the man's scarred cheek. Amidst the shattering mask and the flowing blood, Ash clearly heard His voice, and then laughed heartily.

"Is that so? You didn't notice it."

[Ash, I can control some of it now... Let me connect you with not only Ai Aida's love, but also their thoughts.]

"?"

[Just like when I merged with you in the past.]

As the words fell, everyone felt that the energy within this [S·B·A] was being used in an unexpected way.

If the power of Dark Echo can be used to reset the world and destroy the world... then it can naturally be used to create the world!

The multiverse was indeed completely destroyed after [S·B·A] manipulated all the dark echoes.

But before that, Yashu and Guangmei had communicated the current crisis to all intelligent life in the multiverse, and distributed enough "miracle flashlights" for everyone to use. They had successfully connected the will of the entire multiverse through these inconspicuous little props.

In the previous moment, the world that had just been destroyed was transformed into a void and chaos. The next moment, it was recreated with people's wishes for hope and the future.

And now, in this world recreated by the purest hopes and wishes...

It is a world where anything can happen, a world with infinite possibilities!

"So you think I'm alone?"

what?

The light that came from nowhere gradually surrounded Ash.

But this was not the light that had come from the miracle of support, but something deeper, purer, more... something that Dust could not recognize yet was inexplicably familiar.

"Can't you see?"

Why, why do both they and you always ask me such strange questions? I, ever since your ring glowed, could only see...

All you can see is the outline of light.

Lei carefully wiped the blood from his face, Prim's kiss healed his wounds, Miyuki flirted with him, then immediately released him. Kei, who had been carefully embraced from behind, stood in front of her lover like a warrior. Even Haruka took his hand and kissed it affectionately. Ai openly joined their two ring-covered hands, and then there was Yasu's...

Yaxiu was filled with pity and gave him a big hug before reluctantly letting go and standing with everyone else.

"Can't you see? It seems your imagination isn't enough."

Then, when the boy standing among the girls stood up again, holding hands, the mask that had existed in the past to cover up something completely shattered at this moment.

"If you want to deny the current world.

Then I will fight to deny the you of today——the me of the past!!”

Chapter 311: Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust (Completion Congratulations)

Final Chapter: Ash to Ash, Dust to Dust

------

"What are you talking about changing? You share the same memories, so why are you attracted to their innocent hopes? You, who once had dark echoes, should have seen the mutual hatred and hurt. The people you want to save don't need to change at all—"

"It doesn't matter. What you said doesn't matter anymore."

You're right, that's exactly what you said. But all you know is from my memories. In other words...it's just wishful thinking on your part.

"What did you say?"

With his mask off, Ash, now looking extremely relaxed, just smiled slightly.

"Defeat you, and then take the one I love back to our home. It's just such a simple thing, so I said that no matter what you plan to do, it doesn't matter anymore."

People will be happier watching such a happy ending, right?

"Come on, Dust."

In the final decisive battle, there is no need to say anything more, just fight to the end.

As the balls of light surrounding Ash flew towards him one after another, Dust discovered... everything had exceeded his and Dark Echo's expectations.

"I will protect Ash, absolutely!"

Stepping over the rabbit-shaped light pattern beneath their feet, they transformed into two streams of light, simultaneously passing through the dark tentacles that attempted to block them. Puka and Supreme once again intersected their powerful punches, full of hope, on Dust! The incredibly heavy dark armor covering Kamen Rider Dust's shell was completely shattered!

"I don't want to regret it anymore...!"

Dust, who was suddenly hit hard, had not yet reacted when he was knocked into the air by the four people who were wrapped in the power of "Pretty Cure Purification" as the dark screams echoed in their bodies. And Ainoe, who was waiting above his head, changed from a cute angel to a super cute angel, then an uncute angel, then a cute queen, an eternally uncute angel, and an eternally cute angel -

"The passion and courage you gave me, please allow me to transform them into a brand new future for you!"

Each transformation was a profoundly different blow. Dust, blinded by nothing but the outline of light, was tossed about like a rag in this constantly vibrating space! Even the growth of evil that had sprouted from his body as an echo of the devouring darkness, radiating immense malevolence, was completely ripped away!

"What, what is this? This attack is!"

"Ash, I like you, very much."

"We are all the same in this!"
