Honkai Impact 3, but I’m Amamiya Ren!

The battle line that was originally being steadily closed by Shadow Mei suddenly underwent a drastic change. The monstrous golden lightning belonging to the personality mask Arsene powerfully crushed the purple-red ghost lightning released by Shadow Mei.

“This power is… the same divine authority as mine?! How is it possible?!!”

Staring at the external manifestation of the corrosive power emerging from the body of the personality mask Arsene, and then turning to look at the figure of Amamiya Ren holding the Jizo Soul Blade and with red and black miasma covering her body, an expression of incredible shock suddenly appeared on Shadow Mei's face.

No matter how Shadow Mei puts all her strength into it, no matter how frantically she struggles.

The terrifying golden thunder that swept across the entire sky still defeated her proud power over thunder and lightning with unstoppable force, and completely hid the delicate figure of Shadow Mei under the tremendous and magnificent lightning.

----------------------

There will be another update in the evening... Well, it will definitely be before six in the morning.

By the way, does anyone remember what the over-limit mode of Jizo Soul is called? I remember it appeared in the April Fools' Day event before, and it seemed to be called Dark Eclipse?

Chapter 92: Raiden Mei awakens to become a Personality Mask User! (Two in One)

Boom boom boom————!!!

The golden thunder that came down like a torrential rain was unstoppable and completely crushed the purple-red ghost thunder, and it fell on the shadow Meiyi on the rooftop of the teaching building with great momentum.

Dense and violent golden lightning fell majestically, and the wind it created blew the ends of Yu Gong Lian's hair on his forehead. With a smile on his lips, he stared quietly at the slender figure that gradually emerged in the dazzling golden lightning.

“Huh…Huh…I didn’t expect that you, like me, also hold the authority of God. I was careless for a moment and was outwitted by you. But even with these tricks, your lightning strike still can’t defeat me.”

The mighty golden thunder light gradually dissipated, and Shadow Mei's figure reappeared.

Shadow Mei's spotless black and white base clothing was now showing traces of damage, and the red ghost armor she was wearing also showed conspicuous cracks.

She looked quite exhausted and embarrassed, but she forced herself to keep her back straight, and tried her best to suppress the trembling in her cold voice as she spoke to Amamiya Ren.

It is true that Shadow Mei possesses the power of both the Herrscher of Lightning and the Stigma of Lightning, but the Amamiya Ren she is facing now has the same configuration as her, and is even superior to her.

The power of the fully awakened stigmata, coupled with the authority of erosion assisted by the Herrscher's consciousness?

Just through the power confrontation just now, Shadow Mei's heart sank suddenly, and beads of sweat gradually appeared on her forehead.

She realized that she no longer had to consider whether or not to go easy on Amamiya Ren.

Because no matter whether she lets go or not, there is a high possibility that she will not be a match for Amamiya Ren.

"Lightning attribute resistance? Unfortunately, I haven't learned the skills to break lightning attribute resistance yet... But the skills I have mastered are not just the Geo series!"

Shadow Mei looked like the type who could control the power of thunder, so Amamiya Ren naturally did not expect to completely knock her down with just one blow from the greatly strengthened Geodyne.

It was not surprising to Amamiya Ren that Shadow Mei had resistance to lightning. He just waved his arm lightly, and a blazing dark red curse flame began to burn between the dark and sharp claws of the personality mask Arsene floating in the air.

With the enhanced power of Ksitigarbha's soul, the skill damage of the personality mask Arsene's cursed attribute has been greatly enhanced.

Because of the adaptability of power, the degree of increase obtained by Yegaon was far greater than the power of blessing that Geodyne had just obtained.

Amamiya Ren did not pay much attention to the [Divine Authority] that Shadow Mei had just mentioned. There are many types of palaces, and the palace masters' understanding of themselves also varies.

Shadow Mei's perception of herself is obviously that of a god or a god's agent.

The power of [Divine Authority] that Shadow Mei said Amamiya Ren also possessed was obviously referring to the power of Jizo's soul.

The Jizo Soul is a special weapon created by Hato using the secret treasure of the Desire Stone in the Yaezakura Palace and part of the power of the Hibari Maru Shadow. It is natural that it would be considered an authority of the same level by Raiden Mei, who is a Shadow.

Because of the suddenness of the incident, Amemiya Ren has not yet collected the desire stones and secret treasures in Raiden Mei's palace...and it is also unknown whether there are desire stones and secret treasures in this unfinished palace.

Yuishi's words are easy to say, but once Raiden Mei truly transforms Shadow Mei into her own personality mask, Amamiya Ren will not be able to confirm whether the secret treasure in the palace will continue to exist.

After all, in the story of P5R, when Futaba Sakura awakened the power of her personality mask, the place where the secret treasure should have been in her palace was empty, which was interpreted by Morgana as meaning that the secret treasure in the palace belonged to Futaba Sakura herself.

If the secret treasure of the Desire Stone and the Shadow in the Palace of Raiden Mei could be gathered together, and if Hato could replicate the operation in the Palace of Yaezakura, Amemiya Ren might be able to obtain a weapon that can manipulate lightning at will and greatly enhance the power of lightning-attribute skills.

But unfortunately it cannot be reproduced.

Compared to Amamiya Ren, whose overall strength has not increased much, it is obviously more cost-effective to add a new personality mask user to the team, which can bring out more powerful combat capabilities.

Thoughts flashed through her mind quickly, and Amamiya Ren made a decision quickly, controlling the personality mask Arsene to attack Shadow Mei.

Faced with the corrosive curse flame attack that was beyond her ability to deal with, Shadow Mei had to grit her teeth and jump away from the spot, dodging the red and black gloomy flame bombs cast by Yasen, allowing the corrosive curse bombs that fell at high speed like meteor showers to hit the place where she was standing.

As Shadow Mei swung the sword in her hand to counterattack with a lightning sword, the corrosive curse bullets fired continuously by the personality mask Arsene exploded in mid-air like fireworks.

On the rooftop of the teaching building, purple-red lightning and red-black curse flames flashed and stirred, creating an extremely strong and violent momentum.

However, even from the perspective of Raiden Mei, who was standing on the ground of Senyu Academy and under the protection of the Seed of Reason warriors, she could easily see that Amamiya Ren had gained the upper hand in the battle, and the mighty lightning momentum belonging to Shadow Mei was gradually weakening and falling into a disadvantage.

As the intensity of the battle intensified, the giant cursed flame bomb as deep and dark as a black sun, thrown out with all the strength of the personality mask Arsene, collided violently with the lightning sword slash performed by Shadow Mei with her giant red ghost armor arm.

Two powerful attacks at the level of ultimate skills collided with each other, and the teaching building, which had already been overwhelmed, was now completely in a state of collapse.

Under the astonished gaze of Raiden Mei on the ground, the tall and huge teaching building instantly collapsed into huge rocks all over the sky, and fell to the ground with great momentum like a mudslide.

The place where Mei Raiden was standing near the battlefield was exactly where the huge teaching building collapsed and fell.

Looking at the building debris falling above her head like a natural disaster, after denying the existence of Shadow Mei, Raiden Mei, who seemed to have had all her strength drained away, was now unable to move.

She could only look pale as she watched the huge building debris getting closer and closer to her, and the huge shadow cast by it completely obscured her figure.

A brilliant purple light like a shooting star flashed across the sky.

The dream projection Yutu threw the dart in his hand. The inconspicuous purple dart burst out with unimaginable power, and easily turned the collapsed building that looked like a natural disaster in Raiden Mei's eyes into powder all over the sky.

A huge rock falling from the sky that could easily take anyone's life.

Although Hata, a user of the Personality Mask, can dissolve it as easily as eating and drinking water, her ease and composure immediately makes Raiden Mei, who feels weak and thinks she can't do anything, feel a strong sense of longing and admiration.

"Amamiya-kun was forced into battle because of my failure, and Hatagi was also responsible for defeating Shadow to protect me. Only I... I can't do anything. I can only sit here weakly and watch, waiting for protection from others. I also want to have the power to fight!"

Recalling the mistakes she had made after entering the palace, Raiden Mei clenched her fists in regret. She pounded her fists heavily on the ground, but all her energy had been taken away by Shadow Mei, and even her fists that she swung towards the ground seemed so weak and powerless.

The mocking words that Shadow Mei said to her seemed to echo in her ears again.

Raiden Mei made a sad discovery that even now, she was still just as Shadow Mei said, a helpless and pitiful creature who could only rely on Amamiya Ren. Once she left Amamiya Ren, she didn't know what she could do.

"It can be done. If Miss Mei is willing, even now, you can fight the shadow in your own way and help Joker defeat the shadow more smoothly."

The dream projection Yuto, wearing blue armor, stood in front of Raiden Mei. She gently reached out her hand and helped Raiden Mei up from the ground, then comforted her in a gentle tone.

".....What? Is there anything else I can do? If it can help Amamiya-kun, I'm willing to do anything! Please, Ms. Hatagi, please tell me what I should do!"

After hearing what Hato, who is also a personality mask user, said to her, a hint of excitement suddenly filled Raiden Mei's dull purple eyes.

She tightly grasped Yutu's slender hand covered with blue arm armor, and asked Yutu in an extremely serious and eager tone.

"The battle between Miss Mei and her own shadow is not over yet. As long as Miss Mei can face her own dark side and accept it, even if the shadow Miss Mei has mastered most of the power now, Miss Mei can still gradually usurp the power from her hands, strengthen herself while reducing the shadow's control over the power."

Yutu, wearing blue sci-fi style armor, raised his head slightly.

She looked at Amamiya Ren and Shadow Mei, who were still in a high-intensity battle on the stage of the building debris that fell from the sky, and explained to Raiden Mei in a gentle tone.

As the user of the personality mask, Amamiya Ren himself cannot fly. He can only hold the ankles of the personality mask Arsene and use the pair of black falcon wings behind Arsene to soar and dodge in the sky.

However, Shadow Mei has spontaneously mastered the ability to fly flexibly in the sky.

Relying on the advantage of being able to fly, Shadow Mei seemed much more calm in front of the personality mask Arsene who had to take into account the true body of Amamiya Ren. The situation was no longer as precarious as when they fought on the rooftop.

"The more power Miss Mei steals, the weaker the power of Miss Shadow Mei will be, and Joker, who is fighting against Miss Shadow Mei, will become safer and more confident of winning."

Through the special ability to read information, Yutu, who is the crystal of the Holy Mark, has completely understood this palace...the overall situation in this Holy Mark space.

Mei Raiden originally had the qualifications to be a natural stigma awakener, but during the stigma awakening process, a conquest gem was implanted in her. The Herrscher core interrupted the stigma awakening process and suppressed it to the limit.

Because of the similarities between the Stigma Awakeners and the Herrschers, Raiden Mei's body is increasingly developing towards the perfect body of the Herrscher of Lightning.

The will that should have belonged to Raiden Mei's stigma was also integrated into the will of the Herrscher's core, becoming the Herrscher of Lightning's personality that has not yet fully awakened.

With the responsibility of destroying the world, the Herrscher personality naturally absorbed all the negative emotions in Mei Raiden's heart. It is the aggregation of all the shadows in her mind, and is the embodiment of her most world-weary side.

The power of Raiden Mei's stigma has been deeply integrated with the Gem of Conquest.

[Raiden Mei] is destined to become the [Herrser of Thunder].

But no matter whether it is Shadow Mei or Raiden Mei's true personality, they are all [Raiden Mei] herself.

The control over the Herrscher Core between Raiden Mei and Shadow Mei is completely equal. Raiden Mei is fully qualified to snatch control of the Conquest Gem from Shadow Mei, replace it with her own Herrscher personality, and achieve the status of [Hersher of Thunder] belonging to mankind through her own will.

The method to seize the control rights of the Herrscher core is just as Amamiya Ren said before, which requires Raiden Mei to identify with Shadow Mei and completely accept her own dark side.

Only by acknowledging the fact that Shadow Mei is also herself, can Raiden Mei grab the rope of the tug-of-war and compete with Shadow Mei for the core power of the Herrscher.

"...I understand. Although it is difficult and painful, if it is for Amamiya-kun, I am willing to accept my dirty, ugly and immature self!"

After listening to the explanation given by Hatagi, Raiden Mei bit her pink lips hard with her white teeth. The intense pain she felt in her brain filled her with determination.

After Mei Raiden came to her senses, her fragile body, which was like a dry riverbed that had been drained of all its water, suddenly began to gain new strength, as if it had been injected with sweet and clear spring water.

Mei Raiden could sense the source of the spring water.

This palace is like a vast ocean formed by the convergence of huge power, and she and her own shadow are two bottomless riverbeds, competing for the influx of the sea of ​​​​power from two different directions. The more spring water she gets, the stronger the power she gains, and eventually she will even be able to completely control this palace.

"This time, I will never run away again. I will fight against my own weakness and defeat her!"

Mei Raiden took a heavy step forward.

The power snatched from the sea of ​​​​strength caused a faint purple light to ignite on Raiden Mei's delicate body. The sailor skirt of Qianyu Academy that she was wearing merged with the incomplete black and purple armor that appeared.

A black mask with sharp angles like that of an evil spirit quietly appeared on the fair face of Raiden Mei.

Chapter 93 Roar, Kurikara! (Two in One)

"----What?!"

The red ghost armor arm armor floating beside Shadow Mei made a sword-drawing and slashing motion after a brief period of charging.

The mighty purple-red lightning sword slashed towards the direction of the personality mask Arsene with great momentum, but was immediately completely blocked by the personality mask Arsene who used claws instead of blades by raising his claws.

After exerting force on his wrist again, Arsene easily shattered all the lightning released by Shadow Mei's sword slash as if he was tearing a piece of thin paper. He even had enough strength left to shoot a huge red-black energy claw at Shadow Mei.

Shadow Mei was flying and dancing in the sky with a nimble and agile figure. She was about to release a rapid thunder with the power of lightning and dodge the corrosive claws released by the personality mask Arsene at the fastest speed.

However, in the next moment, Shadow Mei's body suddenly stiffened. She felt that her Herrscher's core power, which had been almost completely possessed by her, was suddenly taken away by nearly one third without her being prepared.

And in this palace, there is of course only one person who is qualified to compete with her for the core authority of the Herrscher.

“Raiden Meiyi!!”

Shadow Mei gritted her teeth and shouted out the name of her original body. Under the sudden backstab of Raiden Mei, she completely missed the best opportunity to dodge the energy claw attack of the personality mask Arsene. She could only bite the bullet and forcibly take on this ferocious claw attack containing huge corrosive force.

Shadow Mei's body, which was hit by the giant claw of erosion, fell to the ground at high speed like a cannonball, splashing a cloud of dust. Then, she was pressed down layer by layer by the wreckage of buildings that fell one after another, forming a high rock tower formed by the debris of the buildings.

The personality mask Arsene waved a pair of huge black falcon wings behind him and descended from the sky with a strong airflow.

Amemiya Ren released the hand that was holding Arsen's ankle, and he jumped down from mid-air lightly, and landed steadily on the ground in front of Raiden Mei and the dream projection Yutu with a slightly squatting posture.

"Mei-senpai, have you awakened the power of your personality mask? No, this is... an incomplete awakening, it's really rare!"

As a qualified personality mask user, when Amemiya Ren observed the current image of Raiden Mei, his first glance naturally went to the black mask worn diagonally on Raiden Mei's delicate face.

The black mask looks as hideous as a skeleton demon, and the sharp and slender black horns are extremely eye-catching.

Although her style is completely different from the gentle Mei Raiden in Ren Amamiya's perception, it is not surprising that her outward performance and inner true self are completely different if we refer to the thug Tekken Azhen at the end of the century.

Shadow Mei has not yet been defeated and surrendered, so the power awakened by Raiden Mei now is naturally incomplete. This can be clearly and intuitively reflected from the state of the Phantom Thief costume she is wearing.

Most of the clothes that Mei Raiden is wearing now are still the sailor skirt uniform of Senba Academy, with only a few parts covered with a black gauze-like undergarment and angular black armor equipped on the outside of the undergarment.

Amamiya Ren has only seen one example of someone who was able to awaken the power of a personality mask in an incomplete state, and that is Kasumi Yoshizawa.

If that’s the case, my senior sister Ohmei actually has the qualities to be a random heroine!

Boom boom boom————!!

Just as Amamiya Ren was carefully examining Raiden Mei's semi-awakened outfit, thick purple thunder suddenly fell from the sky above Qianyu Academy which was shrouded in dark clouds.

The target of those horrific thunders was the giant tower of building debris where Shadow Mei was buried.
