Kamen Rider, but with a wild start.

In short, he clearly felt a surge of anger.

It was the impotent rage of Banno Tenjuro.

Finally, the "Gord Drive" was completely completed. Kino manipulated the tablet and placed it opposite the belt, then extended a tentacle of light and inserted it into the connection of the drive.

In the data space at this moment.

With his actions, it was as if an electronic channel opened up in front of Kino, a bridge spanning between the tablet and the driver.

He sensed the power coming from the other side, so he rushed over without hesitation!

shhhhh--

The cables of the light tentacles flowed with data light, as if they were transmitting something. The high temperature caused the connected mechanical devices to spew out steam, and then the display screen of the "Gord Drive" lit up with a golden glow.

Kino rose up again and looked down at the dimly lit electronic tablet opposite him.

Transfer successful!

Furthermore, in order to boost his stats, Tenjuro Banno's belt, which was a copy of the Drive Driver, possessed power itself, giving Kino the illusion that he had already transformed into a Kamen Rider.

Unfortunately, Kamen Rider Chronicles did not respond at all when the "Gord Drive" was touched.

That trashy, barbaric guy doesn't deserve to be a Kamen Rider!

"Lord Manno, it's a success!"

"Mechanical Mutant 004 is celebrating from the side," said the person next to him.

Kino ignored it for the moment, and immediately moved closer to the electronic tablet, extending his light tentacles to turn on the screen: "Hey hey~ Moshi moshi?"

There was no sound from inside, and it was unclear whether Banno Tenjuro was faking his death. Kino grabbed the tablet and shook it vigorously, but he still couldn't wake him up.

Is he really faking his death?

Kino carefully examined his own state, finding no further emotional fluctuations.

Although he didn't know exactly what was going on with Banno Tenjuro, his consciousness was undoubtedly suppressing the other party in that data space, and he was also certain that he hadn't noticed any tails when he passed through the passage.

"Savage Lord?"

Mechanical Mutant 004 looked at him questioningly.

Kino temporarily suppressed his doubts, tossed the electronic tablet into the hands of the mechanical mutant 004, and said coldly, "Crush it."

The mechanical mutant 004, implanted with the absolute dominance program, had no objections and punched through the electronic tablet in the middle, sending metal fragments flying everywhere.

However, Tenjuro Banno did not appear until the very last moment.

After the mechanical mutant 004 put down the electronic tablet, Kino flew around it again to examine it.

"I want this body of yours. Go and get a new one made."

Mechanical Mutant 004 paused upon hearing this: "Sigma Sphere..."

Kino interrupted it: "You don't need to be responsible for that anymore. I have other plans. Don't disobey my orders!"

"Yes."

The mechanical mutants obediently lowered their heads.

The next moment, Kino's light tentacles pierced through the chest of the mechanical mutant 004, and the mechanical body, having lost its "digital core," quickly drooped down as if the power had been cut off.

Kino eagerly put the "Gord Drive" driver on his waist and then controlled the base body to activate the transformation.

wow——

Golden arcs of lightning raged forth in an instant!

A powerful burst of energy emanated from this body, and a tire-like light effect enveloped the silver-gray mechanical body, eventually transforming it into the "Golden Drive" with golden armor and black soft armor!

Kino let out a sigh, clenched his fists, and felt the tangible sensation in his body with surging emotions.

Unfortunately, there were no mirrors in the lab. Kino looked left and right, and finally picked up an electronic tablet with a hole in it to take a look.

"Not bad~"

"Lord Manno, you have undergone a super evolution!"

The digital core of 004 ​​was still flying beside him.

Kino glanced at it again.

Since it was created with a low-level program that "absolutely obeys Banno Tenjuro", this guy can still be kept and used for a while. However, "Kurim's brain" must never be held by a mechanical mutant again!

If a mechanical mutant that has become a "digital core" were to replicate a human, its temperament and abilities would gradually transform into those of the new body.

However, before taking action, without Medic's (mechanical mutant 009) healing abilities, the only option is to manually create a new prototype for 004's digital core so that the other party can replicate humans again.

Kino pondered these things, tapping his head. He did manage to glean some of Kurim's knowledge from the body he had taken over.

This is exactly where it comes in handy!

So Kino said in a serious but cheerful tone, "Alright 004, I'll create a body for you now, like a beautiful white-haired girl with twin tails!"

004: "...?"

……

Chapter 26 I'm just touching it

So when Kurim woke up, he heard a strange, inexplicably perverse voice coming from beside him.

"Strictly speaking, there are more than just three types of mechanical mutants: spider, cobra, and bat. We can absolutely develop a new type now!"

"That……"

This was a voice that should have been devoid of emotion, yet it carried a hint of hesitation.

"A beautiful girl... too?"

"Why do you care about your appearance? You are a mechanical mutant. Your ability to keep evolving is your own. Your appearance and identity should make no difference to you!"

"I see, I understand now, Lord Banno!"

Upon hearing the last address, Kurim was slightly startled, but he dared not make any big movements. He simply moved the driver slightly and looked towards the location from which the voice came.

Kurim was stolen by the mechanical mutant 004 in a sneak attack, and now it seems that the person who gave the order was Banno Tenjuro.

Prior to this, Shijima Tsuyoshi and Tomari Shinnosuke had mentioned that Banno had taken the initiative to help them, and even reminded them of Brian's methods, which ultimately led them to successfully thwart the conspiracy of the brain-mechanical mutant.

But Kurim still doesn't trust Tenjuro Banno.

This time, Tenjuro Banno's sudden betrayal of them truly proved that the other party was not trustworthy.

He has to find a way to get out of here.

Kurim cautiously looked over there, and what came into view was a golden figure in the posture of a knight, and a digital core floating beside the other party.

Has 004 become the core of the digital system?

As he was observing, his slender eyes suddenly widened in astonishment.

When the golden knight turned around, Kurim also saw the belt around the other's waist clearly; it was just a belt with a different color, and it was obvious what it was.

There's another drive?!

"how……"

Kulim couldn't help but exclaim in shock.

Although he stopped in time, he secretly thought something was wrong, and the next moment the golden figure quickly walked towards him.

"Oh~ Mr. Belt is awake?"

Kurim: "???"

Only Shinnosuke and others would address Kurim in this way, but the Golden Knight's voice was clearly barbaric, so Kurim didn't feel familiar at all and felt a chill.

During the years they worked together, Kurim knew firsthand the capricious nature of Tenjuro Banno, as well as his deep-seated extremism and arrogance.

Banno Tenjuro's heart was filled with malice. He never felt that he had done anything wrong, but only took it for granted that everything he did was right.

Thus, mechanical mutants deliberately implanted with an "evil heart" were born from the hands of the barbarians.

"You are a barbarian, what exactly did you do to me?" Kurim demanded angrily.

"Don't get so agitated, Kurim. We can't have a proper conversation if you don't calm down," Kino said as he walked over.

"I have nothing more to say to you. What you've done has not only destroyed the mechanical mutants, but also plunged humanity into crisis!" Kurim was still agitated.

Kino walked up to him and whispered, "Listen to me, I'm not actually Banno Tenjuro at all, I'm the hacker who infiltrated his tablet! The real Banno has already been dealt with by me, look, this is the evidence."

After saying this, Kino raised his hand and took out an electronic tablet with a hole in it.

Kurim, who had paused because of these words, saw the terrible state of the tablet and fell into a subtle silence, but he soon let out a cold laugh.

"Do you think I'd still believe you, Wildling? You're not trustworthy at all!" Kurim said coldly.

"As expected~"

Kino sighed softly.

After Tenjuro Banno caused a ruckus at the Drive base and stole the Drive Driver, regaining their trust was virtually impossible.

Moreover, with Krem resisting so fiercely, he probably won't have the chance to wear the belt and practice his "Kamen Rider Drive" proficiency anymore—Kino has to admit that he's gotten a little arrogant.

But Shijima Tsuyoshi and the Hunting Belt have no self-awareness, so we can still snatch them and use them to kill them!

As Kino was thinking, he suddenly raised his arm, and the next moment three things with trailing flames flew over and crashed into his arm with a "bang, bang, clang".

They are three toy-like gear-shifting battle vehicles.

Immediately afterwards, Tomari Shinnosuke appeared at the door.

"Mr. Belt!"

"Shinnosuke!"

Kulim quickly responded.

"This is……"

Upon seeing the golden Drive-like structure standing before him, Tomari Shinnosuke was taken aback, but immediately shouted sternly, "Give back Mr. Belt!"

Snapped!

Before he could finish speaking, Kino threw the Drive driver at him, and Shinnosuke Tomari caught it reflexively, only to be stunned.

"I just borrowed it to touch it," Kino said.

While Shinnosuke was still stunned by this, Kurim quickly reminded him, "Shinnosuke, let's leave first!"

"it is good!"

Once he came to his senses, Tomari Shinnosuke turned and ran out of the abandoned factory while keeping an eye on Kino. The several geared tanks that had flown out to help him also left with him.

After getting into the Cerrolet sports car parked by the roadside, Shinnosuke asked in confusion, "Is that gold Drive the Wild?"

“That’s right, he copied the Drive and then transferred his consciousness into it!” Kurim said.

"Something feels off..."

As Shinnosuke Tomari frowned, he recalled the scene when he first met Banno on the hospital rooftop, and a similar sense of incongruity seemed to arise in his mind.

“That guy has indeed become a bit strange, but don’t let your guard down because of that. Wildlings are absolutely not to be trusted!” Kurim emphasized seriously.

"Yes, I know, Mr. Belt. You weren't hurt by him, were you?"

"I'm fine, how about Kiriko?"

"Miss Reina has found the escape route for the Jetpack. We're heading there now!"

Previously, in order to scheme against Kurim, Banno Tenjuro directly used his own daughter, Shijima Kiriko, as bait. Now, Shijima Kiriko is still in the hands of the mechanical mutant 008.

Kino stood at the entrance of the abandoned warehouse, watching the red Cerroll car drive away, and then looked at the body of the Golden Drive.

While having a physical form is a good thing, his consciousness is still inside the "Gord Drive" driver. If he were to deactivate the transformation, his true form would simply be a belt.

There's no way to go out and have fun like this!

"Never mind, let's take you to Medic to recover your body first," Kino said to 004's digital core.

Although he could indeed recreate a mechanical body for 004, the abandoned factory was filled with an atmosphere of poverty, making it impossible to create a white-haired twin-tailed beauty!

Although Medic, a mechanical mutant named 009, also loathed Tenjuro Banno, he couldn't refuse if he offered "super evolution" as a bargaining chip.
