Kamen Rider: Damn! I'm surrounded by beauties

South India, a coastal city steeped in humid and hot air.

The temple's spires intertwine with the dilapidated slums, and the air is filled with the smells of curry, incense, and a faint, almost imperceptible stench of blood.

In the center of a square that had been razed to the ground, the remains of a human figure were being torn apart.

"Click——"

The crisp sound of bones cracking was accompanied by the tooth-grinding chewing sensation.

A monster with a golden eagle's head, a human body, and bird claws was squatting on the ground, greedily pecking at the mangled flesh beneath it with its sharp beak.

Its magnificent, godlike golden feathers were stained with specks of dark red blood, and several deep wounds, revealing bone, were slowly healing at a visible speed.

"Tsk, really..."

Garuda Gurongi tore off a large piece of meat while mumbling a complaint.

"Those two little toys of mine are really damn hard to deal with."

Not far away, on the scorched ground, the once majestic Pegasus was torn in two.

On the other side, Golem shattered into several pieces of metal emitting black smoke, completely exhausting its energy.

"Hey, you two, aren't you going to try some? The 'offering' tastes pretty good." Garuda raised his head, his golden eagle eyes looking at the two figures standing not far away.

A woman dressed in a flowing white robe, exuding an ethereal aura.

The other had a disproportionately large beer belly and an oily face. These were the referees of this "game," Weile and Poshman.

"no."

Wei Le's voice was indifferent, as if he were looking at a pile of garbage.

"I have no interest in Linduo's meat. Your game will end in an hour. Garuda, you still need five hundred more."

“Five hundred? Ha!” Garuda let out a piercing laugh, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. “That number can be dealt with in no time.”

It stretched out its blood-stained paws and casually pointed around.

“I don’t even need to lift a finger; these foolish Lindos will offer their kind to me willingly.”

As soon as he finished speaking, large numbers of South Indians with fervent expressions emerged from around the square and at the corners of the streets.

They shouted in an incomprehensible language, their faces filled with the joy of pilgrimage, as they shoved and pushed over a hundred terrified people bound with rough ropes.

Among those who were brought there were locals, Asians, and blond-haired, blue-eyed foreign tourists. Their mouths were stuffed with rags, and they could only make mournful "woo-woo" sounds, their eyes filled with despair.

"Lord Garuda! The offerings you requested have arrived!"

The leading fanatics knelt on the ground, prostrating themselves, their posture extremely humble.

"Well done! My followers!" Garuda stood up, spread its blood-stained golden wings, and exclaimed with satisfaction.

"It is our honor to receive guidance from you, sir!"

The South Indians were overwhelmed with gratitude and trembled with excitement.

"Hahahahahaha!"

Garuda's laughter grew increasingly arrogant, echoing throughout the entire square.

"I always knew Linduo was stupid, but I never imagined he could be this stupid! He willingly offered his own kind to me and thought it was salvation. It's really... hilarious!"

The people being sacrificed erupted in even more violent struggles, their faces smeared with tears and snot, shaking their heads desperately and uttering heart-wrenching pleas.

"No...please...no..."

In this hellish scene, just as Garuda was preparing to enjoy its next "feast"—

A jet-black beam of light, accompanied by violent golden lightning, descended from the sky!

"Boom——!!!"

A loud bang, like a meteorite hitting the ground!

The entire square shook violently, and the hard stone slabs cracked instantly like a spider web around the point of impact, raising clouds of dust!

This sudden change left everyone stunned.

Garuda turned around in confusion, its sharp eagle eyes fixed on the center of the smoke and dust.

As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, a dark figure appeared.

That's empty space.

But it is not any of the forms they are familiar with.

The armor was entirely black, like the deepest darkness of night, with sharp, golden blades emerging on the shoulder, arm, and leg armor.

Golden electricity crackled all over his body, as if it contained a world-destroying power.

What's most unsettling is his eyes.

Those red compound eyes, which should have been a symbol of heroism, were now flashing and switching wildly between deep black and raging blood red.

He stood there, his body trembling uncontrollably, his chest heaving violently, his heavy breathing like that of a broken bellows, filled with suppressed pain and madness.

"Kuuga?!"

Garuda's pupils constricted sharply as he stared incredulously at the black demon god before him, who emanated an ominous aura.

"How did you get here?! Could it be... that Galakrond guy... failed?"

“Ga...La...Ki…”

Upon hearing this name, Gu Yi's body stiffened abruptly.

It felt as if a red-hot branding iron had been fiercely burned into his brain.

Countless fragmented and bloody images flashed before my eyes.

The ruins of the city, Galachi's maniacal laughter, the dead...

“Aa ...

Uncontrollable pain and anger transformed into a roar that ripped the sky apart!

"Kill...kill...kill...kill you all!!!"

He unconsciously repeated that one word, each syllable filled with boundless hatred!

The next instant, he moved.

There was no running start, no warning.

It was just a fleeting moment.

"What?!" Garuda couldn't even see his movements clearly.

An indescribable sense of crisis exploded from the bottom of its heart, and it only had time to cross its wings in front of it.

"boom--!!!"

A deafeningly loud bang.

A black iron fist wrapped in golden lightning struck Garuda's crossed wings without any fancy moves.

Time seems to freeze at this moment.

Garuda's golden eagle eyes widened in shock and bewilderment.

Its wings, which it was so proud of and could even withstand the electromagnetic cannon of the G3-X, were now like paper, breaking apart inch by inch from the point of contact with the fist.

Immediately afterwards, that destructive force penetrated its defenses and surged into its body.

"Uh……"

Garuda didn't even manage to let out a scream.

next second.

boom! ! ! ! ! !

Its body, starting from the inside, suddenly burst open!

A massive, indescribably thick pillar of fire shot up from the ground, carrying the remains of Garuda, piercing straight into the sky! The scorching energy turned the sky crimson, as if tearing open a rift to hell!

The entire city was shocked by this horrific sight.

The square was deathly silent.

Those who were incredibly fanatical believers just a moment ago were now all slumped to the ground, staring dumbfounded at the slowly dissipating pillar of fire and the black figure standing like a demon god in the flames.

Their "god" was... blown to pieces with one punch?

"what--!!"

After a brief silence came hysterical screams.

"Demon! You killed our god!"

"He is a demon! He is the god of destruction!"

"Kill him! Avenge Lord Garuda!"

The believers' fervor turned into frenzied rage. They picked up stones and sticks from the ground and rushed towards Gu Yi without regard for anything else, cursing him in the local language as if he were a devil who was destroying their faith.

"demon……?"

These harsh curses, like countless steel needles, pierced into Gu Yi's already chaotic mind.

"I... am not a demon..."

He clutched his head, his body curled up in excruciating pain, and the black and red in his compound eyes alternated even more frequently.

“The demon…it’s that guy…it’s you guys…”

"You... are accomplices of the devil!!!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

An uncontrollable and terrifying energy suddenly erupted from his body!

The black and gold shockwave spread out in a ring, blowing away the fanatics who rushed up, along with the bound sacrifices!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

People fell like kites with broken strings, screaming and crashing more than ten meters away, their bones broken and tendons snapped, their cries of agony echoing across the field.

Those "sacrifices" who were only thrown back by the blast and were not seriously injured were terrified. They huddled on the ground, covering their heads, trembling, and unconsciously crying and begging for mercy.

"Waaaaah... Don't kill me... Please..."

"Mom...I want to go home..."

This faint, desperate cry was like a bucket of ice water poured over Gu Yi's boiling rationality.

His fist, which was about to be thrown again, suddenly stopped in mid-air.

He slowly lowered his head, looking at the ordinary people trembling under his power, their faces filled with fear and despair.

What am I doing?

Why would I... hurt them?

Am I... meant to protect them?

Amidst the chaos of thoughts, a sliver of clarity struggled to emerge.

"Hey, this guy... something's not right."

Not far away, Wei Le, who had been thrown back a few steps by the shockwave, straightened his slightly askew robe, his expression grave.

"This form... could it be the legendary one...?"

"Who cares what it is?! Let's get going!"

The fat old woman next to him was so frightened that her legs were trembling, and her huge belly was shaking like a water balloon.

Although their voices were not loud, Gu Yi, whose senses were extremely sharp at that moment, clearly caught them.

“Gu...Long...Ji…”

Gu Yi suddenly turned his head, his black and red compound eyes fixed on Wei Le and the old man.

In his vision, the two figures disguised as humans began to twist and melt.

The tall, thin man in the white robe had his body elongated, his skin covered in grayish-white feathers, his hands turned into wings, and his feet into sharp claws. He was none other than a giant goose capable of standing on two legs!

The fat man's enormous belly had split open into a gaping maw, from which two huge front teeth sprouted. His entire belly was the grotesque head of a hippopotamus! His body had also transformed into a monster with a hippopotamus head and belly!

"Gurongi—!!!"

Two more have been found!

Kill! They must be killed!

Gu Yi let out a beast-like roar, the ground beneath his feet exploded again, and he transformed into a black afterimage, charging towards the two of them!

"Holy crap! We've been spotted!"

Wei Le was terrified.

Without hesitation, he revealed his true form as a Gurongi, flapped his wings, and soared into the sky as a white shadow, wanting only to get as far away from this black demon as possible!

"Hey! Wei Le! Take me with you!!"
