The three quickly dispersed, forming an encirclement around Kamen Rider Metsubou from three different directions!
The metallic dopant, like a runaway heavy tank, roared and launched the most direct and ferocious attack from the front.
His iron fist, gleaming with a metallic sheen, carried a terrifying force that tore through the air with every swing.
The fanatical hybrid, under the cover of its companions, quickly retreated to a safe distance.
Despite the excruciating pain and the corrosive effects of the toxins within her body, she gathered scorching flames in her hands, transforming them into streaks of fire that continuously harassed and suppressed Kamen Rider Metsubou from a distance.
The intense heat baked the air, causing the surrounding temperature to rise sharply.
Of the three, the most troublesome and the most enigmatic is undoubtedly the Moon Goddess hybrid.
He made full use of his rubber-like arms, which could stretch and twist freely.
Combined with his special ability to create realistic illusions.
His attacks always come from all sorts of bizarre and illogical angles.
Sometimes it's a sharp rebuke, sometimes a sudden entanglement.
Even worse, the phantoms he created kept flashing in Kamen Rider Metsubou's blind spots, interfering with her judgment.
Faced with this sudden, perfectly coordinated, three-pronged attack.
Even a powerful figure like Kamen Rider Metsubou was momentarily stunned by his originally fluid and oppressive attack.
The metallic dopant's direct attacks were powerful and its defenses were astonishing, making it difficult for her proud close-quarters assassination skills to be fully effective.
Although the ranged flames from the fanatic dopant weren't top-tier in power for a T2-level weapon, their constant harassment forced her to focus her attention.
The illusions and eerie footwork of the Moon Goddess, mixed with other elements, were like a persistent leech, making it difficult for her to lock onto her target and impossible to defend against.
One goes down and the other goes up.
Kamen Rider Metsubou gradually shifted from being the absolute attacker to being forced into a defensive posture.
Her movements remained swift, and her counterattacks as fierce as ever.
But that indomitable and unstoppable momentum quietly faded under the combined suppression of the three.
The balance of power in the war has been broken.
The scales of victory seem to be slowly tipping in favor of the "NEVER" mercenary group.
Chapter 69: Game Over, Su Chen Joins the Battle! Absolute Suppression, Dimensional Difference of Power
Faced with the near-perfect, ruthless tactical encirclement by the "NEVER" trio, Kamen Rider Metsubou's figure, even as agile as lightning, gradually showed a hint of stagnation.
In the end, she was all alone.
The metal dopant's impenetrable, mobile fortress-like frontal defense caused the ground to tremble with each heavy step he took.
The swift and fierce close-combat skills that Mie was so proud of were greatly weakened in the face of such an absolute barrier.
They exchanged blows and sparks flew, but they couldn't shake its core.
The moon goddess hybrid is like an elusive, shadowy figure.
Her arms, which could extend unpredictably, attacked from all sorts of tricky angles, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, each strike carrying a deadly threat.
Even more troublesome are the occasional, distorting hallucinations that disturb reality.
They rippled in the air like waves, confusing Mie's vision and perception, causing him to be highly tense and unable to fully concentrate on any one enemy.
Behind them, the fanatical dopant resembles a never-ending volcano.
He waved his arms, and a continuous stream of high-temperature flames transformed into roaring fire snakes, fireballs, and even large-scale fire walls, sweeping across the sky to suppress and harass the enemy from a distance.
The air was distorted by the high temperature, and scorching waves of air rushed towards us.
With this shift in balance, the scales of the battle began to tip subtly.
Kamen Rider Metsubou, who was initially the absolute "offender" who controlled the rhythm, was gradually forced to become the "defender" by the tacit cooperation of the three.
Although her movements remained swift and her counterattacks were still fierce, demonstrating extraordinary combat skills, there was already a subtle, almost imperceptible heaviness beneath that effortless ease.
The idea of crushing the opponent with overwhelming force in a short period of time, as before, has become a pipe dream.
Every block and every dodge drained her energy.
“Master…”
She silently called out the man's name in her heart, with a barely perceptible tremor.
The man who gave her new life, gave her strength, and gave her meaning in life.
Her faith, her pillar.
She was convinced that he was somewhere watching the battle.
Watching everything she does.
Top floor office.
In stark contrast to the bustling battlefield in the lobby downstairs, this place was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Su Chen gently rubbed the warm coffee cup between his fingers, his expression relaxed and his gaze calm as he watched the "performance" unfolding downstairs through the huge surveillance screen that covered the entire wall.
On the screen, every detail, every attack and defense, is clearly visible.
"As this is the first time we've teamed up with someone who owns a T2-level memory, Saeko's performance is already 80 out of 100."
His deep, magnetic voice echoed in the empty office, carrying an unquestionable tone of judgment.
"His combat intuition is sharp, his reaction speed is extremely fast, and his use of his own power is impeccable."
He nodded slightly, seemingly satisfied with these aspects.
but……
A barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes like a shooting star.
In his deep pupils, he saw the slightly disheveled purple figure on the screen.
"...We are still relying too much on the power granted by 'Kamen Rider Metsu' itself."
"They don't know how to observe and effectively utilize their surroundings, and they don't know how to cleverly divide what appears to be a close-knit battlefield."
"Furthermore, they don't understand how to achieve the greatest results with the least cost, or even how to... create an opportunity to turn the tide, when facing adversity and unfavorable circumstances."
His voice remained calm, yet carried a hint of regret that the rough jade had not been perfected.
"It seems that she still has a long, long way to go in her growth."
He finished the last sip of coffee in his cup, the slightly bitter liquid sliding down his throat.
The cup was gently placed on the expensive rosewood table, making a soft sound.
"That's fine."
A faint smile curved at the corners of Su Chen's lips.
"This farce, which was supposed to be a 'teaching' lesson, is about to come to an end."
He slowly rose from the expensive leather chair, designed by a top Italian designer and exuding a faint, pleasant leather scent.
His tall figure cast a long shadow under the luxurious office lights.
Downstairs lobby.
The intensity of the battle reached its peak at this moment.
Just as the metal dopant seized a fleeting opportunity, using its steel-like, sturdy arms like iron clamps, it firmly locked Kamen Rider Metsubou's movements, temporarily immobilizing her.
A flicker of excitement, as if they were about to succeed, flashed in the eyes of the "NEVER" trio.
Kamen Rider Metsubou's heart sank slightly.
However, at this critical moment.
Without any warning, Su Chen's figure appeared silently in the center of the battlefield, as if by teleportation.
It was as if he had been standing there from the very beginning.
He slowly raised his head and calmly patted off a few non-existent specks of dust from his spotless, expensive clothes.
This action, though seemingly casual, carried an invisible, suffocating sense of oppression.
The "NEVER" trio's gazes, filled with astonishment, vigilance, and a hint of disbelief, instantly focused on the man who had suddenly appeared.
They felt an unprecedented threat.
Su Chen ignored their stares and calmly activated the drive at his waist.
The familiar yet newly generated mechanical sound rang out clearly in the quiet hall after the fierce battle.
He didn't even use the "Shining Assault Locust" form, which was considered an ultimate weapon, that he had shown when fighting powerful enemies before.
It simply chose that dazzling and brilliant form, one that could easily handle any situation before it.
【ShiningHopper!】
Accompanied by the driver's powerful electronic sound effects.
A dazzling golden radiance, indescribable in its brilliance, burst forth like the rising sun.
The light flashed by, yet it seemed to illuminate the entire dimly lit hall.
As the dazzling light gradually faded.
Su Chen's figure was completely covered by a golden, streamlined, and magnificent suit of armor.
Kamen Rider 01 - Shining Hopper Form!
With his own strength, he effortlessly and calmly blocked all the attacks from the Trinity that were originally aimed at Kamen Rider Metsubou!
The moment Su Chen joined the battle as the "Shining Locust".
The entire battlefield situation underwent a dramatic and one-sided reversal in an instant.
The golden light, like the rising sun, dispelled the gloom and tension of the previous battle.
The smell of gunpowder permeating the air seemed to be purified by this pure light.
"How can it be?!"
