Kamen Rider is playing the villain in Pretty Cure

"Ash?"

Ash didn't answer them. Right now, he felt better than ever! It was as if an endless amount of power was filling his body, so good that he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

“Hehehe, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! I feel great!”

While his body was filled with immense power, his heart also felt a huge emptiness. An indescribable desire swept through his body, stimulating it from head to toe.

I—I really want to, I really want to practice my power right now!

Then he raised his head, met Ai's somewhat flustered eyes, and a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

If we have an object for practice, don’t we have it now?

Ash inserted his fingers dipped in sea water into his hairline, then pulled it back with force. His entire black hair stood up completely, looking a little scary. With the smile on his face, he looked like a completely different person!

"Ash, what are you doing...eh?!"

Ai was surprised to see Ash casually toss the Dragon Fang Card Box aside, then took out a new belt and put it on.

"[Space-Time Drive]!"

Then, he took out his blank dial and pressed it. An indescribable dark power surged out from deep within his body and sank into the dial. The originally empty mechanical dial began to emerge after the injection of power. On it was a ghost face that was 70% similar to Longya's, but even more hideous!

"[Ryuga]! (Dragon Fang)"

A devilish sound like hell rang out from the dial.

"Henshin!"

Chapter 88: Alien Dragon Fang

“Hemshim!”

He pulled out a black leather windbreaker from the inventory and put it on. On the back of the windbreaker was a picture of a golden giant eagle holding the entire earth in its claws. The giant eagle's eyes, decorated with rubies, flashed with a terrifying light that varied in brightness.

Ash released the dial of the Alien Dragon Fang, and the dial slowly fell from Ash's palm under the wrapping of a mysterious force, dragging a star-like black trail around him in the air. The dial rotated around Ash several times and then inserted itself into the space-time drive.

"[Ryuga]! (Dragon Fang)"

A dark wave burst out from Ash's body, and an even deeper light began to flow out from his body until it covered his entire body. Ai and Regina, who were standing beside him, as well as other Guangmei who had sensed something was wrong and rushed to support him, were all blown away by the wave.

The pitch black darkness, with its dizzying and nauseating horror, came in waves. Not only the Pretty Cures, but even the cadres of the selfish organization who were born in darkness felt breathless, and the way they looked at Ash changed completely.

"Lord Selfish King must have already attached himself to it!"

"It must be. After all, that's the Lord Selfish King!"

They were all very certain. After all, that was the selfish king in their minds, possessing overwhelming darkness. How could a mere human possibly compare to him? He must have obediently handed over his body.

As for the current reaction, of course it’s because the King of Selfishness is awesome!

When the engulfing darkness completely dissipated, the true form underneath was finally revealed, like an evil ghost crawling out of hell. The curvature of the original Western knight-style armor similar to Longya's was infinitely expanded, turning into a dark evil armor similar to the style of an Eastern general. Longya's helmet, which originally exuded a coldness at all times, became extremely hideous. Under the twisted grille mask, the scarlet eyes emitting black smoke swept over anyone, making her unable to move with fear all over her body.

The most terrifying thing was the mouth of saw teeth exposed to the air. The exaggerated breathing sound it made when it opened and closed was like the sound of fingernails scraping across the surface of a steel pipe, which constantly tortured the girl's nerves. The dragon head fused together in her right hand occasionally spewed out dark flames from its small mouth, and the ferocious big knife in her left hand flashed with a cold light. I'm afraid no one would want to try its power.

At this time, Ash transformed into a new form unknown to them. His appearance was far more terrifying than they had ever seen, and the terrifying aura he continued to exude was enough to make the Pretty Cure feel a greater fear than any enemy they had ever faced.

"What the hell is going on?!"

Can't understand.

They couldn't understand what was happening to Ash now. Was it the result of the attack from the Selfish King? He wasn't injured, but why?

"Welcome to the King of Selfishness to obtain—Ah!"

Thinking that the Selfish King had successfully taken over the body, the cadres who were preparing to flatter him were hit on the horse's legs on the spot. Ash unceremoniously knocked each of them to the ground with a Dragon Head Fist.

"No, I'm Ash. What is this King of Selfishness you're talking about? He sounds so weak. How could he be my opponent?"

"You—Impossible. How could the Lord Selfish King not be a match for a human like you?!"

"Does being selfish enough mean you're the King of Selfishness?" Ash ignored Levi's glare and pondered the question with interest. "If that's the case, then as the most selfish person in the world, I'm now the King of Selfishness~"

"How dare you say that!? Hey, Ira, Mamo, take this guy who insulted the King of Selfishness to—"

"I reject!"

"He has mental problems, I won't fight him!"

When the two found out that the guy in front of them was Ash, they immediately gave up the idea of ​​fighting and had no intention of taking action.

"You guys—Qi, let's go back to the Poker Kingdom first!"

The Selfish Organization retreated just like that, and left very easily. The illusion of the Selfish King on the sea also disappeared, but no one felt relieved, because now Yaxiu was standing on the opposite side of them.

Finally, Ai mustered up the courage to step forward. "Um, Mr....Ash?"

"What's wrong, Mana? You sound like I'm dead?"

Hearing that the other person was indeed Ash, Ai breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "Mr. Ash, what is this now... Is it Ryuga's new form?"

"What is this? This [Another Ryuga] (Alien Dragon Fang). Someone gave me a gift, so I made it. Not bad~ I've never transformed into an Alien Knight before, so I wonder if it's this good?"

Although he was attacked inexplicably, his life was not taken away. It was even said that an inexhaustible supply of "evil thought energy" suddenly surged out of his body, and he even filled up the savings bar of Dark Echo in one breath.

So, with the idea of ​​making the best use of it, Ash squandered the evil energy and injected it into the blank dial. Combining it with the history of dragon riders that he didn't know where it came from but did indeed flow out of his body, he created this strange dragon tooth dial.

[Stop, Ash, that's enough——]

A panel popped up, followed by more panels.

[Stop, Ash!]

[Stop!]

[Stop!] [Stop!]

[If you continue, you will regret it]——————

"You're so noisy!"

Annoyed, Ash grabbed the panels with his bare hands, kneaded them into a ball and threw them into the sea, out of sight and out of mind.

The even more annoyed Ash was able to explain the matter to Ai in a friendly manner, and that was the end of it.

The constant emptiness and desire eroded Ash's soul. Looking at these Pretty Cures and thinking of the happy things that happened between him and them, driven by desire, he now had only one thought in his mind.

Fight! I feel like fighting! I want more fighting—more power!

Fight them and use everything you gain from the battle to satisfy yourself!

Take away their beautiful bodies and shining hearts!

"Mr....Ash!?"

"Ash?"

"What's wrong with you, Ash?"

"Answer...Answer me! You're so scary right now!"

The alien dragon tooth's knife was inserted into the water, and as Ash moved forward, it cut off all the surrounding waves. Facing Ash who was approaching them with a knife and said nothing, the girls felt more and more frightened and could only retreat in horror.

A little bit of crystal clear saliva dripped down the slightly opened fangs and fell into the sea.

Ahhh~ Pretty Cure! I can't hold it back anymore!

"Fight!"

Ash's sudden attack shocked everyone, and the ferocious big knife chopped down Ai's hand as he was trying to defend himself, but even though he was prepared for the impact, the attack was far stronger than any before and directly knocked him away.

"ah--!"

"Fight!"

This time, it was Makoto who suffered. She only had time to push the equally terrified and bewildered Regina to the other side of the beach before she was engulfed in flames. Screaming, she dove into the sea, her entire body engulfed in flames. The high-temperature steam erupted from the collision of the flames and the seawater, causing her to scream even more miserably.

“Ahhhh————!”

"Fight!"

"Don't do this, Mr. Ash, don't do this!"

Arisu activated a shield to block Rikka, whose legs were trembling, but after just one strike, Arisu was horrified to find that the shield was already showing signs of breaking.

"Mr. Ash, what the hell is wrong with you?!"

Liuhua asked in a voiceless voice, why, we should no longer have the twisted way of getting along with each other, right? We can understand each other now.

Why, why does Mr. Ash seem to have returned to his old self...even worse?!

"Oh, no, no..." After slashing a few times and regaining some of his spirit, Ash put away the knife and stopped.

"I've lost my composure a bit. If I were to fight, I should have declared war on you~"

"No..." Ai helped the equally miserable Makoto out of the water and looked at the dark watch on Ash's waist.

Is that the one? Is that the one who influenced Mr. Ash?!

"Mr. Ash, are you being controlled by that? If so, please, throw it away!"

"Hahaha, Mana, what nonsense are you talking about?" Ash laughed exaggeratedly, and his lumbar spine bent backward and almost reached a 90° angle with the ground.

You actually want me to throw this away? What are you talking about? This is mine. Putting aside whether I'm being controlled, there are limits to your dreams.

"Please... throw it away, or give it to me. Stop this and turn back into the Ash we know."

Seeing Ai's pleading eyes, Ash was silent for a moment, then raised a finger.

"In that case, let's play a game~"

"game?"

"As long as you can defeat me." Ash tapped the strange dial on his waist with his fingers. "I won't mind giving this dial to you."

"But if you lose..."

"Cure Heart, if you lose once, I will take one of your friends away from you."

Chapter 89: Dangerous Game

"Take away... my friend?"

Hearing this, Ai opened her eyes wide in disbelief. Although she sometimes accidentally ignored her friends' feelings, she was undoubtedly a philanthropic person who cared deeply about her friends.

So she absolutely could not tolerate such words. If it was an enemy who said this, she would be furious and teach him a lesson! But she did not expect that such words would come from the mouth of Ash, whom she cared about.

It's simply... unreasonable!

"That's right, Yotsuba Arisu, Kenzaki Makoto, Hishikawa Rikka, I will take away your friends one by one, and those I take away will become mine."

"When that happens, having lost all the important friends you care about, what kind of pity or resentful expression will you show me?"

Facing Ash's provocation, Ai clenched her fists, closed her eyes in anger, and roared in intolerance.

"That's too much, Ash! Rikka and the others belong to them. They are not something that can be taken away at will!"

"No, I have no intention of asking for your opinion. I am just explaining the rules of my game."

Ai, who wanted to say something more, felt a weight on her shoulder. Someone else put his hand on her shoulder.

"Rikka...."

"It's okay, Mana." Rikka shook her head. She, always strong, showed her composure. "We also want to correct Mr. Ash, so don't worry about us."

"Mana...!" Regina also looked over with great concern. She was not only worried about the girls, but also about Ash who was not in a good condition.

"I don't have any power right now...so, please!"

He couldn't help biting his lower lip, and the love that was placed with high hopes finally looked up again and met Ash's eyes.

"Then, Ash, you absolutely cannot regret this!"

The heart-beating Pretty Cure stood together, finally taking a stance ready for battle.

"Are you finally showing some fighting spirit?"

His entire body was ablaze with black flames that were almost solidified into substance. With every step Ash took, the sand beneath his feet turned into crystallized pits. Every sound of his footsteps made it increasingly difficult for everyone to breathe.

"But do you think you can defeat me with the strength you have now?!"
