"No, it's a fact. The fact is that He distributed all Dark Echo to 'us' created by Him and you."
Dark Echo is a collection of negative entities in countless worlds, including all evil things, the resentment and evil thoughts of villains, etc. It is collected by the system and then brought back to the "afterlife" by Ash you again and again. After collecting to a certain extent and carrying all the "malice" together with the above causes and effects, and "sacrifice" them together with the will named "Ash", the heroes will get their "happy end" world.
It was originally such a simple and beautiful development.
But the problem lies here, that "system" that should not even have feelings originally was used as a "prop" in the endless travel and learning together with you.
I've fallen in love with you!
"He loves you so much, hahaha!"
No, it would be more romantic to say that it has surpassed even love~?
"?"
You, my clone, were actually created by the system... But what the hell is falling in love with me? Who?
"Dark Echo, which has an extremely heavy cause and effect, cannot be carried unless it has the backdoor key to all the rules of reality: [Omni-Adapter]." Dast, who became more and more excited as he spoke, continued to spit out more and more secrets. "So there is no parallel individual for such a unique you, so He created us who represent different 'Ash' to help you bear everything that originally belongs to you."
He cannot disobey His "responsibility", yet He wants you not to "die". So we created the world of Pretty Cure.
Obviously we would be afraid of death without "Ash"... But who asked Him to even create the self-awareness part for us so that we can have different thoughts?
"But I'm sorry, Dark Echo is such an amazing thing, we want to use it for something else~"
So when we found the opportunity, while He was leaving with your called soul, we rebelled.
"So it's reasonable for you to want to live for yourself, and I understand it."
However, what do these private matters between us have to do with Pretty Cure?
"Just hear me out."
With his hand resting on the dial of his belt, Dust's shaking fingers carefully manipulated the Dark Echos on his fingertips.
"Do you know why He specifically chose the world of Pretty Cure?"
'Because this is the gentlest world I can find for you. ' The system's answer once appeared in Ash's heart.
"I must admit that the existence of legendary warriors is indeed different from the types of heroes I have encountered before." With the memories of Ash, Dast also looked sad. "They helped to find your heart, your love, and your smile, making you become more and more like a human being from the nihilistic ghost you originally were."
Precisely because they are the embodiment of miracles and beauty, He knows that you will definitely attract them if you guide them deliberately!
"So He chose this world as the paradise destined to give you freedom."
In such a world, there will be people who will love you purely and beautifully no matter what.
"Then, when your bond is formed, their lives are connected with yours. The extremely heavy cause and effect on Dark Echo will be shared by their love from you!"
When the power of Dark Echo was shared by us to complete the sacrifice, even the cause and effect of pain was shared by them. He has completed his mission, and you have gained the qualification to live freely.
"So-"
Cold sweat instantly covered the back of Decade's armor.
The more I love them, the more pain they will feel... This is not a disgusting adjective!?
How could there be such a bullshit setting that deliberately tortures for the sake of torture! It's fake—don't even think of deceiving me so easily!
"Hahaha! Everyone is happy, right?"
"Say what!"
The duet could no longer continue. Ash, who raised his sword and jumped with all his strength, decided to kill Dast first. However, what was waiting for him on the other side was the moment when Ash revealed his flaw out of anger!
Got it! Oma Power paused the time of Ash. Even if the time-body stop that was broken through was only for a moment, the time-stop still gave Dast a chance. The hand with Dark Echo's power pressed hard on Ash's belly! The virtual and fuzzy existence wrapped in a constantly flashing panel was slowly pulled out from inside.
With his own existence as the communication channel, and with the help of Dark Echo Mugen, this power that entangled too many relationships between them, the existence named "System" was dragged from outside the high-dimensional box to this present world.
"You are very good as a warrior, but other than that it's hard to say."
At least I can't resist the "temptation" of feelings at all!
Facing the compound eyes with the name "Dast" written on them, Ash felt like his soul was being split and drawn out, and suddenly something came to his mind.
"You know what I'm thinking?!"
"You're afraid of me, afraid of death."
"Fear of death - what a joke!"
How many times do you think I have died——
"Of course I do."
"Because no matter what the circumstances, you have never taken a step forward from the identity of a human being, so you can only live as a human being!" Dast, who was in a stalemate with each other, deliberately stretched out his finger, specifically pointing at the three people on the Ash chest card. "Human beings, no matter how much they resist and how much they want to avoid it, they will die unknowingly when it's time to die!"
"Especially for someone like you who keeps putting your life on the line!"
It would be okay if all relationships were just a show of force.
"This is completely different from the hero games you played before!"
In the end, are you sincere?
Because as the number of deaths increases, unlike before, you no longer laugh at it indifferently. The more beautiful it is, the more you start to fear death!
Do you know why sometimes people go crazy and seek death? All suicide attempts are because of fear of death!
"To love or be loved, for who you are now."
"It is a more terrifying existence than challenging all Rider alone!"
I won! I need this system for my future goals! Just go live with your little girlfriends in this world for the rest of your life and forget everything about the past, hahaha - "Nani!?"
Ash, who was supposed to be completely unable to move in this separated state, went completely beyond common sense and grabbed the other corner of the system to "fight" with Dust.
If you catch me, it means that I also catch you!
"Even though the power of Dark Echo is with you now... but it was originally collected by me!"
If this is the case, not only the system, I can also take this opportunity to take back all your Dark Echo!
"Damn it!"
No matter in terms of setting or performance, he should be unable to move in a state where part of his soul is torn apart. How is this possible??
Now, the outcome is unknown——
And at this time, both sides are using all their mental strength to compete with each other for willpower.
Aino Megumi stood up.
"I saw it."
That Ash impostor, enemy, and the existence that parasitized him and caused all the tragedies are all on the same line now!
The timing, the timing is so great!
"It's that thing that keeps you traveling through time and space."
But the previous "Super Happy Lovely Angel" power has been used up to save the world.
"As long as it's gone... you will be able to stay well, right?"
I need power, a power that can defeat gods and demons better than ever before!
Ash Why should we endure such pain...
"That's right... it must be all your fault... as long as your unknown thing disappears, Ash won't experience anything like that!"
"Click!"
Under the strong desire, the "Gomora Monster Light Ring" that had been lying quietly in the girl's purse shattered, revealing the true appearance of "Evil God Grimde Light Ring" underneath.
Then, before even the evil light had time to flash, all the power was sucked away by the concentrated girl.
"Cinderella!?"
"Megumi?!"
Facing the two grown men who were completely unsuspected and looking astonished, the extremely determined girl poured all her strength into the love in her hands.
It doesn't matter Ash, I'm here to save you!
"Precure Pinky Love Shoot (Pretty Cure PINK LOVE SHOOT)!!!"
The love light bullet, which was so pink that it reflected the blood-black existence, passed by Ash. The extremely terrifying flow of destructive light washed away the existence of Dust and the system with destructive power!
"Damn it!"
Due to the concentration that he couldn't let go, Dast couldn't spare any energy to resist this torrent at this time. He could only watch helplessly as this force continued to wash over his body and cause destruction.
This girl, as Pretty Cure... is too cruel?!
It seemed that just before things were going to be bad for Dust's side, the other side was getting worried first. After being pulled from a high dimension to the real world, he had a physical existence like a naked system. When his panel body, which looked like a game bullet frame on the surface, was blown away, it revealed the most basic light spots with countless existences faintly flashing underneath.
Some cracks turned into dazzling flaws on the originally perfect light spots.
"Oh love, come back to the sky!!!"
Ash, I did it! I will defeat these two biggest enemies right now and rescue you——
"!"
Aino Megumi, his eyes widened for a moment.
Ash, who always had his back turned to her and whose mood was indiscernible, ran over to her without hesitation and without saying a word, blocking the system with his body.
"——!"
Then, when the destructive light flow caused a violent explosion to explode from the full form of Decade without any hindrance, when Ash, who was covered in bruises and was blown away all the way, lay face down at his feet, when the blood quietly flowing out from under him dyed the girl's boots with bows tied red.
In the girl's mind, there was only a blank Mugen.
"Ash ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
Chapter 211 Premature death? Change or stay the same.
"!"
The extremely dazzling bright red instantly filled the girl's sight.
The full power of that light ring was so powerful that it could even knock down Ash, whom he had always admired, with one move. But when the extremely dazzling color flowed down the sloping slope and past her heels, she immediately screamed like she was waking up from a dream.
"Ash ahhhhh!!!"
What did I do? What have I done! What did I do? What have I done! What did I do? What have I done! What did I do? What have I done! What did I do? What have I done!
Incomparable regret and panic filled the expression on the girl's face. She knelt down next to Ash in a pool of blood. She had just stretched out her hand, but it was only to the extent of touching. A frightening fear made her quickly retract her blood-stained palm like an electric shock.
The actual contact in a trance further aggravated the pressure on the girl's psychological shadow.
Blood...
This is blood!
My hands are covered with the blood of Ash!
The girl who completely lost her mind in panic did not even dare to move Ash, who was lying on the ground at the moment, for fear that her actions would make the wound worse.
Why did he take the initiative to take that step just now?
Don't know... to save that weird panel? But the one who is clearly the culprit of your pain, I—I am helping you!
"Wakanai..."
I don't understand, Ash I don't understand, I just can't figure it out!!!
"You big idiot!"
A flying kick hit the girl's barren chest mercilessly. Aino Megumi, who coughed out a mouthful of saliva, looked at the angry Ash across from him in confusion, as if he was "questioning" himself.
"I haven't even taken action yet, what are you going to do to kill him at this moment!?"
As "Ash" created from the template of "Rider", in order to achieve a certain goal, I need to defeat all Kamen Rider and seize their power. I have done well in the past, but I am missing the part of Kadoya Tsukasa who was killed in advance!
As a result, someone gave him a pillow when he fell asleep. The power of "Kamen Rider Decade" happened to be what he used on his new journey! Originally, as long as he perfected his power as an "Emperor Cavalry" and was defeated by me, the last piece of the puzzle would have been completed...
Look what you have done! Do you want to eat the puzzle??
Including that system, I have only gotten some fragments now, and now it is almost completely broken, making it impossible for me to take a last hit... How did this happen to me?!
"No, no - no!"
