In the fourth season, he became "Shadow Moth" by unifying the Butterfly and Peacock Miraculouses, allowing him to use the ability of Amokization as well and later makes Megakumas that can nullify Ladybug's Magical Charms. In the fifth season, after getting his hands on every other Miraculous in the Miracle Box by giving the Peacock to Félix, he upgraded into a new form called " Monarch ". [43] After losing the Rabbit Miraculous to the heroes and being inflicted with a Cataclysm-induced necrosis, Gabriel establishes a partnership with Tomoe Tsurugi to set up the Alliance System, where he remolded the Miraculous jewels into his personal Alliance Rings, smart rings that allow him to channel a Miraculous' power to a villain using the Alliance System. life, he briefly stole the Ladybug and Cat Miraculous from her and decided to respect his wife's wishes, sacrificing his life to save Nathalie; this recreates the universe and allows Marinette to recover all of the Miraculouses.

Chloé either instigates someone getting Akumatized or gets Akumatized herself, her initial form being a Ladybug opposite called "Antibug". Chloé accidentally acquired the Bee Miraculous which transforms her into "Queen Bee" where she was akumatized twice into "Queen Wasp". Despite publicly revealing her secret identity, Ladybug would occasionally lend her the Miraculous, but is later forced to suspend her from heroics when her public identity becomes too much of a liability. After growing paranoid and resentful of Ladybug for not giving her the Miraculous as she wished, Chloé betrays the heroes to Hawk Moth, gets akumatized into "Miracle Queen", and exposes other temporary heroes to him, resulting in her being permanently relieved of duty.

Afterwards, Chloé descends into villainy, and later allies herself with Lila Rossi out of mutual hatred for both Ladybug and Marinette. During this time, she had been akumatized into the banana-themed "Queen Banana" and the duplicating "Penalty". Chloé's actions gradually make her hated by most of Paris and eventually cost her both Adrien and Sabrina as friends.

But the heroes are able to master their powers to stay transformed and rally the citizens of Paris to revolt against her. Ultimately, Chloé is de-akumatized, defeated, stripped of her position and all her power, and abandoned and betrayed by her allies, with her father sending her and her mother away from Paris; her mother chastises her for ruining the family name and vows to take control of her life and education again.

Realizing from this that she truly has nothing left, a devastated Chloè can only break down in tears at her situation.
