Chapter 267

Chapter 166: Final Boss

“Ah… How could this be?!”

Emerging from the newly rebuilt palace, the former Poker Kingdom gazed toward Earth, sensing the familiar presence that appeared. Cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

“What’s wrong, King?”

Seeing the king’s reaction, Jo couldn’t help but direct his gaze towards Earth as well.

Could it be that something has happened to Miss Pretty Cure?!

“It can’t be wrong. That dark power that once ruled the entire universe.”

“That darkness which even the legendary Pretty Cure couldn’t eliminate.”

Now, it is resuming its revival!

Selfish Ancestor has finally been revived after crossing through ten thousand years of time, utilizing Levi’s body.

“You damned Pretty Cure.”

A feeling akin to being eyed by a demon chilled them as their gazes swept over the girls.

“That is the true Selfish Ancestor; it has resurrected?!”

Displaying her true strength for the first time, the immense evil power emanated from the heart of Another Ryuga, causing the Pretty Cure to feel enormous pressure and to prepare themselves seriously.

Another Ryuga’s gaze moved next to Ash, who had his arms crossed in front of him.

“Damn you, Kamen Rider!”

The pain, hatred, and resentment have reached their peak now.

The Selfish Ancestor’s gaze remained fixed on Ash, for he was the one who cost him the loss of at least half of his malevolence energy; he was no longer as strong as he once was when he controlled the entire universe, yet through him, he gained some strange powers from this interdimensional man.

“This physical form is not complete.”

Unless restored, I will never return to my peak state.

However, the finest body is right before me!

“Why are you looking at me? You think I will pity you?”

Staring directly at Ash with glaring red light, the Selfish Ancestor pointed his finger at the man.

“Humans, do you still believe everything is within your control? Or perhaps you think you can escape?”

“In any case, you’re just a piece in the darkness. Now, you’ll become an offering for my resurrection!”

Ash laughed instead of panic when hearing this, raising his sword to chop off the claws that were lifted.

“Piece? No, you’re the piece—the piece representing the enemy destined to fall in the final boss battle!”

“Devote yourself fully to this game that has captivated me!”

Pushing back the blade with the claws, Ash attacked again relentlessly, each rapid strike met and countered, but only serving to stir excitement in him, for he has never feared battles with strong enemies!

He felt the power of this Selfish Ancestor was extraordinary, yet that was not a reason for him to retreat; furthermore, he wasn’t fighting alone at present.

“Do you think you can defeat me like this?”

“Let me show you how!”

While Ash blocked the attack, another hand extended from behind and fired flames from a dragon head, incinerating the Selfish Ancestor in a blaze.

“This should be enough—wait?!”

A hand emerged from the fire, grabbing another Ryuga’s head, causing a grid mask to crack from the force applied.

When the flames faded, the claw still held the sword and the undamaged Ryuga remained unyielding in place, sparks flying between them.

Observing the sparks, a black wave surged from centering Another Ryuga, sending a dragon machine flying away.

“Arrogance won’t save you!”

Flying away, Ash looked back incredulously at this entity. Damn, what kind of strength is this?!

The intense malice cloaked Another Ryuga in the color of the Selfish Ancestor, and under its imposing aura, surrounding debris rose and exploded, stepping closer with overwhelming pressure.

“The world and all life will be dominated by me!”

“Today will be Earth’s final day!”

Centering the sky with malevolent energy, turning the world dark, facing such a scene, the girls stood before Ash to protect him, bravely stepping forward.

“Such acts will not stand! We will fight with all we have until our lives end!”

The battle began anew.

Countless buildings were severed, thrown at them under the guidance of the Selfish Ancestor’s power.

“Damn, this disparity is ridiculous?”

Fleeing into the Mirror World, Ash referred to the gap between the final boss Selfish Ancestor and the preceding Officers, the latter being like a strong knight villain, while the former seemed like it came straight out of a manga universe.

“Think you can escape?!”

Transforming into Another Ryuga and gaining Mirror World-traversing abilities, the Selfish Ancestor attacked from behind, punching Ash from the Mirror World back to reality.

“Arggggaaaaaahhhh!!”

Inferior power struck Ash’s defenseless back, his card dropped from his belt, changing back as Ash rolled violently, stopping as he collided with a billboard.

Is this the real strength of the enemy? When I’m not fighting on equal terms, am I really losing?

When power reaches a certain extent, skill and intelligence are mere distractions.

“Ash, don’t move forward!” Love shouted, dodging building throws, advising Ash nearby. “We’ll handle the rest!”

“Damn!”

Angered, Ash smashed his fist into the ground, accepting Love’s point. Advancing would only hinder him.

When had he felt so helpless?

Endless aerial battles ensued with the Selfish Ancestor, repeatedly throwing the girls down, but they bravely rose again.

“Diamond Swirkle! (Diamond Vortex)”

“Sword Hurricane! (Sword Gale)”

“Even if I’m not fully formed, I won’t lose so easily!”

With Crystal Domain’s power, their attacks were easily mitigated. Panting, the girls nodded at each other, realizing they needed to act soon or else…

“Pretty Cure Lovely Straight Flush!!!”

Facing the deadly blow, the Selfish Ancestor simply opened a large mirror in front.

Then, the Pretty Cure fell back from their own reversed attack.

“…”

The injured girls lay unconscious; Ash was the last standing warrior, staring at another Ryuga, clenching his fist.

“Am I all that’s left?”

He stepped before the girls, shooting his sealed gear gun at Another Ryuga, who staggered slightly, hindering progress.

The Selfish Ancestor advanced, and Ash attacked continually, glancing over at Love, who lay like sleeping beauty on the ground.

“What’s wrong? You aren’t the hero of this world? Your job isn’t done until evil is defeated.”

“At this moment, it’s not time to sleep, is it?”

Ignoring Ash’s attacks, the Selfish Ancestor mocked him despite his lack of immediate threat.

“Worry not, they’ll join another realm alongside her.”

“This world… no, this universe is mine!”

Raising his claw, ready to strike, a familiar female voice interrupted.

“I’m not sleeping, just resting after a long battle.”

Despite injury, Love smiled confidently, standing before Ash, drawing even the Selfish Ancestor’s attention.
