She strode forward, the sound of her high heels clicking on the ground echoing in the empty training field with a strange rhythm.
Steadfast and composed.
Every step seemed to declare a complete break with the past.
She walked up to Su Chen.
The man's figure was shrouded in shadow, his expression obscured, yet he exuded a powerful and reassuring aura.
Saeko Sonozaki remained silent, but instead reached out her slender, pale hand and picked up the quietly placed set that represented her new life—the "Forced Ascension Device" and the "Spiked Scorpion Program Ascension Key" that shimmered with an ominous light.
This time, she had no more hesitation or doubt.
All that remained was utter calm and pure longing.
A thirst for power.
A desire for the power to control oneself.
She skillfully and firmly secured the dark purple drive to her waist.
"Click——"
The mechanical clicking sounded particularly crisp in the silence.
Pleasant.
Like the gears of fate, they finally meshed and began to turn.
She picked up the dark purple Ascension Key, the cold metallic feel of the key emanating from her fingertips.
His gaze was piercing, like two sharp, cold beams of light piercing through illusion.
She uttered the word that would usher in her new life in a tone that was almost like a vow, clear, cold, and devoid of any emotional fluctuation.
“Henshin.”
The voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable resolve.
The moment she finished speaking, she forcefully and without hesitation inserted the key into the drive!
【Poison!】
The authorized sound effects, sharp and with a venomous hiss, suddenly exploded in the training ground!
The sound seemed to penetrate directly into the depths of the soul, awakening the most primal fears.
【Forcerise!】
In an instant, an extremely eerie purple steam, like a ferocious beast breaking free of its restraints, suddenly erupted from the driver!
Thick purple steam, carrying a chilling aura and an ominous presence, instantly enveloped Sonozaki Saeko's shapely body.
A mechanical scorpion, brimming with primal, violent aesthetics and gleaming with metallic luster, roared and materialized from the Programming Ascension Key!
Its ferocious mandibles opened and closed, emitting a silent roar.
The venomous stinger at the end of the scorpion's tail gleamed with a chilling, deadly light that sent shivers down one's spine!
The mechanical scorpion nimbly tumbled and leaped in the air, each movement brimming with power and a destructive desire.
Then, it suddenly disintegrated!
It disintegrated into countless armor modules of varying sizes, shimmering with a dark purple light.
These modules, as if possessing their own life, swept over, pieced together, and reshaped Sonozaki Saeko's body with an irresistible, even somewhat brutal, attitude!
Metal and flesh intertwine, cold and heat coexist.
【StingingScorpion! Breakdown.】
The final sound effect, filled with ominous and final implications, fell heavily.
The pervasive purple smoke slowly dissipated, like the receding tide.
A brand new Kamen Rider, filled with ominous signs and a deadly aura, stands silently in the center of the training ground.
Her posture was more upright and more dangerous than ever before.
The armor, with its deep dark purple and cold, hard black as the main colors, perfectly outlines the unique graceful curves of a female knight, yet without appearing cumbersome at all.
Every line is sharp and fluid, full of extreme aggression, as if solidified killing intent.
Behind it, a long and menacing mechanical scorpion tail was raised high, like a venomous snake poised to strike.
The scorpion's stinger at the end of its tail gleamed with a chilling, eerie purple light, foreshadowing the deadly venom that could kill at the slightest touch.
Her compound eyes were long, narrow, and sharp dark purple crystals, like the eyes of a scorpion hunting in the night, coldly and ruthlessly watching the world without any human emotion.
Kamen Rider is destroyed.
At this moment, it is officially born.
An unprecedented, extremely refined, and pure power, like a surging torrent, filled every part of Sonozaki Saeko's body.
This power is completely different from the "Forbidden Memory," which is characterized by its expansive and violent release of energy.
It is more introverted and more focused.
And even more so, fatal.
She could clearly feel that every muscle fiber in her body was filled with explosive power, as if it could tear steel apart at any moment.
The energy flowing inside the armor, so closely connected to her nerves, was no longer simply destructive energy.
It was a highly concentrated poison, powerful enough to paralyze or even melt giant monsters instantly!
This is the power that truly belongs only to her, Sonosaki Saeko.
It is the power that she chooses, controls, and wields according to her own will!
Feeling this unprecedented rebirth, feeling the cold yet powerful poison within my body.
On Sonozaki Saeko's stunningly beautiful face, which was always as cold and aloof as an iceberg and rarely showed any expression.
Those lips were always tightly pursed, cold.
For the first time, he revealed a genuine smile, one filled with unparalleled joy.
That smile carried a hint of cruelty, a hint of release, and an air of supreme arrogance.
The iceberg, finally nourished by the deadly poison, blossomed into its most alluring flower.

Chapter 37 The Queen's Evolution, Proof of Loyalty
A new queen needs the wails of her enemies to announce her birth.
In order to help Saeko Sonozaki quickly familiarize herself with the power of Kamen Rider Metsubou, Su Chen meticulously planned a direct practical test for her.
This is more than just a test.
It was more like a cold coronation ceremony.
The test site was chosen to be a huge abandoned warehouse under Zero One Technology.
The interior of the warehouse has been completely transformed into a vast and complex combat simulation arena.
The cold steel structure gleamed eerily in the dim light.
The air was filled with the smell of rusting metal.
Only the center of the venue was brightly lit by several high-intensity spotlights, making it look like a lonely stage.
Waiting for the protagonist to appear.
The target of the test was three dangerous hybrid users whom Su Chen had secretly captured through the underground channel of "Million Arena".
They all possess high-level Gaia memory.
Each of them has stirred up bloodshed in the underworld of Fengdu.
First is the powerful "rhinoceros dopant".
He was covered in thick bio-armor, his muscles were bulging, and every step he took made the ground tremble slightly, and he let out a deep, beast-like roar.
Secondly, there is the extremely fast "dragonfly dopant".
She was relatively slender, with four wings on her back. The transparent wings vibrated rapidly, emitting a disturbing high-frequency buzzing sound, and her compound eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty and cruel light.
Finally, there is the most bizarrely powerful "virus hybrid".
His body was in a semi-energetic, unstable state, and the surrounding air seemed to be slightly distorted because of his presence, emanating an ominous aura of data corruption.
These three criminals, notorious in their respective fields, now resembled trapped beasts stripped of all their fangs.
They were freed from their restraints and stared blankly and angrily at the unfamiliar metal cage.
Su Chen stood in the observation room at the edge of the simulation field, calmly watching the field through the thick bulletproof glass.
His voice was clearly transmitted to Saeko Sonozaki's ears through the communicator.
"let's start."
The instructions were issued without the slightest delay.
As Su Chen's voice fell, Sonosaki Saeko, who was standing at the other end of the field, moved.
She was already wearing the purple armor of Kamen Rider Metsubou.
The cold metal gleamed with an ominous light, and the mechanical scorpion tail on its back swayed slightly as if it were alive, poised to strike.
hum-
A faint sound of energy activation rang out.
Kamen Rider Metsubou's figure instantly transformed into a blurry purple afterimage.
She disappeared from the spot.
That speed was so fast that it exceeded the limits of what the naked eye could perceive.
"So fast!"
The largest rhinoceros hybrid couldn't even complete a full defensive maneuver.
