"Dad, is this the same?"
"Well, the sea connects the entire world, and the sky runs through the boundless universe, so don't stop and feel confused because of obstacles in life, just try to move forward bit by bit!"
"Really, it's rare for a father to say something nice!" Seeing his father's handsome appearance, Ai smiled and leaned over. Kentaro also dotingly rubbed his daughter's bright red hair, which made him proud.
"Just keep going forward..."
Looking at the ocean and the sky, Ash felt that his heart could not be calm no matter what.
I am the person who has given up all confusion and never stops and keeps moving forward even if I encounter something along the way.
However, if you keep going.
Where will I go?
While Ash was in a trance, a sudden terrifying darkness enveloped the beach and turned the sky into pitch black. The girls instantly felt a wave of depression coming over them. When they were about to find an excuse to trick Kentaro away to facilitate his transformation, a ray of darkness came over and exploded in the crowd.
"Whaaaah-!"
When Ash jumped onto a boulder with Regina next to him, he happened to see the funny duo coming out from the side, as well as Levi who escaped last time.
"Dad!"
Ai, who also landed, hugged his fallen father anxiously. He was relieved after seeing that he was knocked unconscious, so he quickly called his friends to transform into Pretty Cure form.
"It's you again, it hasn't been long, do you want me to have fun again so soon?"
The corners of Ira and Mammo's mouths twitched, but the anger that would arise when they were ridiculed was no longer in their hearts. In fact, if it weren't for King of Jikochu's order, they would not attack.
"Dad!"
The voice of Regina behind him attracted his attention. On the sea, the violent sea wind rolled up a huge dark statue, which looked exactly like the King of Jikochu he had seen before at the Poker Kingdom.
"Teleport... no, is it Phantom?"
Ash feels something is wrong. It should be Phantom that is similar to a mirage. Even though it is tall, it should not have much fighting power, but Ash feels more terror in this Phantom than King of Jikochu!
Regina kept calling his father, but got no response. Ash raised his head and met King of Jikochu's gaze. He sensed something in an instant and his body automatically called the police to him!
As if given an order, the three people from Selfish Organization ignored Pretty Cure on the side, but all launched an attack on Ash.
After taking out the card box, Ash, who had not yet transformed, had no choice but to push Regina aside. He jumped up holding the card box and looked down at the intertwined light that shattered the stone under his feet.
"No-!"
Ash, who suddenly realized what was wrong, was already in mid-air. Unable to use any force to change the angle, Ash had to cross his hands on his chest. The next moment, King of Jikochu's hands The eye pierced a deep purple light, passed through Ash's arm, passed through Ryuga Card Deck, and directly pierced into Ash's heart while everyone was stunned.
"Ash——!" x5
Chapter 87: I've gone dark
This beam is actually not the work of King of Jikochu, but the result of the real mastermind who has been controlling King of Jikochu - [Jikochu Progenitor] materializing himself.
As the true leader and secret behind Jikochu Progenitor and Selfish Organization, it was sealed by the legendary three Pretty Cure who guarded the world 10,000 years ago. Tens of thousands of years later, he found an opportunity to use the power of evil to control Poker Kingdom King, who had lifted the seal without authorization, and turned him into King of Jikochu.
Originally, its plan was to slowly invade the world and continuously collect Evil Thought Energy. It didn't matter if Jikochu was defeated by Pretty Cure in the middle, because the collection of Evil Thought Energy continued. When it collected enough Evil Thought Energy, it released the seal, and Pretty Cure was just an ant that could be easily crushed.
The original plan was like this, until that day, it saw the man named Ash at the Poker Kingdom.
No matter what other people think, Jikochu Progenitor can see his essence at a glance, the boundless darkness under the human body!
Compared with this darkness, Evil Thought Energy is nothing!
So he found the right opportunity, forcibly endured his instinct as the final BOSS, and launched a sneak attack on Ash, preparing to seize this body. If he could have so much darkness - there was no need to consider the seal at all!
There are now two consciousnesses active in Ash's body. Jikochu Progenitor's target is Ash's spiritual core. After accidentally destroying the mental barrier easily, it drove straight into the deepest part of consciousness.
This is the dark world extended by Mugen. Jikochu Progenitor, who once controlled King of Jikochu, understands that as long as it controls this person's Ling Shen Xin, it can change this body with evil power.
But this time it doesn't just intend to control it, it wants to completely devour this person's Ling Shen Xin, so that the darkness of this body will be completely owned by it!
But the strange thing is that no matter how hard it searches, it can't find the so-called Ling Shen Xin, which makes it angry. How can a person be alive without a heart? Could it be that he has hidden his heart?
Just when Jikochu Progenitor was thinking about whether it should be a little more extreme, a sudden sound from above attracted its attention.
It's like... the sound of electricity when the TV screen is turned on.
Sure enough, at the top of this spiritual world, a TV-like screen opened. The picture inside seemed to tell the story of Ash and other people. It had no interest in watching it, but then the second, third, and countless "screens" lit up. Around the projection screen composed of all these, countless stories began to roll.
What is this? Is it this boy's memory?
But if this is one person's memory, it would be too huge!
"Ash——!"
The belated Touma knelt down next to the purple armored man in disbelief. He took off his helmet with trembling hands, revealing the sweaty face of the man below.
"It's okay, I'll take you there now -!"
The armored hand held Touma's wrist and pulled him to a stop. Dark blood continued to gush out from the gaps in the armor.
"It's useless. This is not an injury that a doctor can cure. Have you forgotten? I am a doctor..."
"But - but!" He was as strong as Touma, and now his voice also had a crying tone. "It was clearly agreed that I will change your ending!"
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it." Ash consoled his friends in this world for the last time. "After all, I am not a character in your story. Besides, this END..."
It's my own choice.
"However, I can meet you this time - Kamen Rider Saber. It's so great to meet a hero like you!"
"——!"
"Teacher Touma, go and change!" At the last moment, Ash burst out with extremely passionate feelings and held his hand with both hands. "Go and change it. Change the ending of the world to what you want. Your words can definitely do it!"
"Because you are not only a novelist, but also a shining hero!"
"But in order to save your friends... let me help you one last time..."
The unyielding soul of the armor on Ash began to slowly turn into purple power, and finally merged with [Dragon Knight Wonder Ride Book] in Touma's arms. The iron flying dragon turned into a dark-colored ancient dinosaur, and Rider Book, which turned into a completely new look, flew up automatically, knocked open the [Ancient Dragon] on the holy blade driver, and inserted it in its original position.
[Extreme Dragon Knight]!
"This is really... the last time..."
"Ya-Xiu-!"
Kamiyama Touma It is the first time that we have missed an appointment.
Because the person who finally broke through the estrangement and agreed with him is no longer there.
The sound of footsteps coming from behind made Touma understand that the enemy was coming. The novelist who was about to change the world picked up the last armored sword left on the ground and inserted it into the holy blade driver.
"Unify souls... into one!"
You are, so to speak!
"Max Henshin!"
"[Taikoo——Draw the sword!]"
"Ryunosuke!"
When Shiba Takeru, the eighteenth generation descendant of the Shiba family, arrived, all his retainers were already lying on the ground, their bodies covered with wounds and their faces in pain. The only person still standing on the terrifying battlefield was the guy they were all familiar with - Ash!
"Your Highness!" Ryunosuke, who was lying on the ground, loyally issued a final warning to his respected Highness. "Leave quickly, this guy has..."
"Oh, what's happened to me?"
Ash, who had his back to Zhangru, turned around, his voice filled with an unstoppable evil spirit. There were strange patterns painted on his face, which revealed the power of Gedoushu that should not exist in humans!
"Ash——You actually, have you fallen into heresy?!"
"Righteous way? Heretic way? Who stipulates this kind of thing?" Ash scratched his head quite unhappily, obviously not agreeing with the words of this young highness. "The so-called righteous heretics are just the arrogant judgments of the world. I have gained new power, and I will use it for myself. It's just such a simple thing!"
"That's not the case!" Zhang Lu took out his transformed cell phone from his arms. "This is just a lie you used to numb yourself. I won't watch you hurt Ryunosuke them."
"I will not watch a person fall into heresy!"
"Really?" Ash also took out the seized transformed mobile phone. "If you do, just give it a try!"
"Shodo Phone!" x2
Together, they used the brush protruding from the front of the phone to draw out their words in front of them.
"Ippitsu Sojo!" x2
"Oh list Ultraman!"
Ash crawled out of the crashed cockpit of Balkieon in great embarrassment. In fact, he knew very well that if the last light had not mercifully deflected the cockpit, he would have reported to Monster Graveyard.
"Ash!"
As soon as he came out, he was caught by the other party. The other party stretched out his hand to Ash, but Ash slapped his hand away ungratefully and stood up holding the wall.
"Why do you do such a thing? Ash, if you want to gain something, this will obviously do you no good at all!"
"I don't need your pity, Kai!"
Kai looked at Ash who was limping away and hesitated to speak.
"What exactly are you going to do..."
In a daze, Hongkai felt that he saw the back of another friend from the past, so he made up his mind and followed him!
"This-this is what it is!"
In the spiritual world, Jikochu Progenitor looked at the movie-like scenes and expressed that he was greatly shocked.
Is this really a person's memory? If so, it's too huge, and why are the before and after completely different stories? They don't match up at all!
Just when it was extremely shocked, it saw a huge shadow of a huge creature rising in front of it. When he realized something, the entire space had been completely polluted into an extremely chaotic black.
He saw that this was the darkness and negativity in Ash's body that it longed for, but now it felt trembling even as the incarnation of darkness that had experienced a long time.
This darkness is churning with countless terrifying ferocities and hostility, which are the roars, fighting intentions, and resentments of countless villains and villains! Malice! At the same time, there are countless heroes and their struggles, pain, and determination!
Everything merged into an ocean, into something deadly and unreasonable that it saw now.
How is that possible!
As for humans, not just humans, even a beautiful and tough soul like Pretty Cure should have his heart and spirit torn apart by this darkness.
How could this person maintain his existence! And nothing actually leaked out at all!?
"Tap, tap, tap."
In the boundless dark space, crisp footsteps suddenly sounded.
Following the sound of footsteps, a child who was at most 12 years old walked out of the darkness, and the boundless darkness around him gave way to make way for Him.
"Are you the one planning to disturb him?"
"If you were just outside, I wouldn't be able to control you no matter what, but now inside, I won't allow you to mess around!"
Before Jikochu Progenitor could say anything, a child who was 90% similar to Ash floated up. A golden belt appeared on his body, and a dark dial also appeared on his hand, and was finally twisted into the correct position by his fingers.
"I won't let you mess around. No matter how evil you are, I won't let you destroy the results he and I have achieved together!"
"Prostrate yourself to the true darkness!"
The child pressed the dial, belonging to Ash, and an extremely deep and firm voice sounded in the space.
"[Ash]!"
"HenShin!"
"Ash—Ash!"
In the outside world, after other people entangled Selfish Organization, cure heart and Regina jointly fished Ash out of the sea, but he still closed his eyes tightly and still had no intention of waking up.
Just when Ai was thinking about whether to give him artificial respiration, a golden coin suddenly rose from Ash's body. It was a coin with a golden bird painted on it. When Ai was surprised and had not had time to take a closer look, Ash's hand suddenly stretched out, held the coin, and stuffed it back into his body.
"Ash, great that you woke up, I thought - ah!"
As soon as Ash woke up, he unceremoniously pushed away Ai and Regina beside him. He turned a deaf ear to the girl's words and just stared blankly at his palms.
