Honkai Impact 3, but I’m Amamiya Ren!

Amemiya Ren originally thought that the blue-haired man who appeared in Senyu Academy was a special life form from the sea of ​​heart similar to Lavenda, who could exert his power on his own without a personality mask. He was just curious about the unfamiliar term "Herder of Reason".

But what Amamiya Ren never expected was that the answer given to her by the false god Yaldabaoth would be so explosive and terrifying!

Could it be that... this isn't just the world of P5?!

The gods high above are dissatisfied with the fact that human beings have long stagnated in evolution and only greedily demanded from the world. They sent apostles to the world to destroy everything and completely wipe out human beings...

This kind of tribute to EVA that is almost overflowing, could it be————

Devil Survivor?!

Amamiya Ren's scalp tingled and he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

No way, no way, although Devil Survivor is also a spin-off of the Shin Megami Tensei series, and the first work is called "Persona: Devil Survivor", but didn't it later remove the name of Persona? !

Would he have traveled to a world that was a combination of Devil Survivor and Persona?!

Could it be that the real story of Shin Megami Tensei is also being stitched? It is enough to fight against Loki, the personality mask of Pancake Man. Amamiya Ren does not want to fight against the real evil god Loki at all! !

Because of the game platform and the Chinese localization of the game, Amamiya Ren is not familiar with the "Devil Survivor" spin-off series.

He only watched Devil Survivor 2, the only work that was made into an animation, and it didn't leave a very deep impression on him.

According to the "Devil Survivor 2" animation that Amamiya Ren had watched, as well as the fragmentary information about Devil Survivor 1 that he had read, the Devil Survivor series seems to have continued the apocalyptic style of the Shin Megami Tensei series, describing the story of a group of people rebelling and struggling against God before the countdown to destruction arrives.

In Devil Survivor 2, an invader named Big Dipper will continue to appear from Monday to Sunday, completing the feat of destroying the world in seven days.

The protagonist, Hibiki Kuze, whose initial evil umbrella demon is the White Tiger among the Four Sacred Beasts, will destroy all of the Big Dipper along the way and finally defeat the final boss, Polaris. After Polaris witnesses the possibilities of humanity, he resets the cycle of reincarnation, restoring the world to its pre-destruction state and allowing the sacrificed humans to be resurrected.

Amamiya Ren vaguely remembered that the designer of the Big Dipper seemed to be the same person who designed the Angel images in EVA.

Moreover, Devil Survivor 2 also clearly pays tribute to the famous scene in the EVA movie where Shinji Ikari saves Rei Ayanami, which is really respectful!

There is a special organization among the demon survivors that is responsible for demon events. Humans can practice the power of Yin and Yang, and the strongest can even possess abilities comparable to gods and demons. They can use the [Demon Summoning Program] that appeared in the P5 DLC to summon demons that are exactly the same as the image of the personality mask to perform combat.

If this world still has the devil survivors stitched together, then the water is even deeper than this! !

If P5 can continuously launch spin-offs, the Devil Survivor series can certainly continue to come up with new works. Who knows, this "Herrserker" may be the enemy in which subsequent Devil Survivor work launched by Atlas after Amamiya Ren travels through time!

but.......

Amemiya Ren frowned slightly, he sensed a strong sense of disobedience.

"Is that blue-haired man really the so-called Herrscher of Reason? If he is really a Herrscher, isn't his strength too weak?"

As the first apostle to destroy the world, the blue-haired man who calls himself the Herrscher of Reason, his strength...may be above the average, but it still does not live up to the value of the title of Herrscher of Reason.

It's impossible that the brainless blue-haired man who looks like a supporting role could be a Herrscher like Kaworu Nagisa, who first appeared among humans, joined the human organization, had no special powerful abilities, and finally went to die happily?

"You have a very sharp insight. The blue-haired man who appeared in Qianyu Academy is indeed not the real Herrscher of Reason. The real Herrscher of Reason has long been dead. He is just a clone imposter who uses the title of Herrscher of Reason but does not even know who he is."

Otto's lips curled up in a happy arc, and he slowly answered Amamiya Ren.

Although Otto could not read all of Amamiya Ren's thoughts through the power of Mimicking Yu Duchen, he had no problem seeing the changes in his psychological and emotional state.

From the palpitations that seemed to indicate realization the moment he learned the definition of "Herrser", to the rapid and calm thinking that followed.

Amamiya Ren's obvious association with some general psychological state undoubtedly made Otto more certain of his inner guess about Amamiya Ren's identity and origin.

"It's really just a fake, no wonder..."

No wonder the blue-haired man who claimed to be the Herrscher of Reason appeared with Cocolia's robot army. It seemed that he was just a clone combat weapon developed by Cocolia based on the body tissue of the real Herrscher of Reason. He had some strength but not much.

It's okay against ordinary people, but if you face a real Herrscher, it will probably break into pieces with just one touch.

"If we defeat all the Herrschers, will we be able to see the high and mighty God and have Him reset the cycle of the world and resurrect the dead?"

Amamiya Lian pondered for a moment, then asked the false god in front of him.

After hearing Amamiya Ren's question, Otto's eyes suddenly lit up, and even his heart beat slightly faster.

"If you can defeat all the Herrschers, you can naturally see the God. Or you don't need to defeat all the Herrschers, you can still see Him by relying on some special method... You seem to be interested in the reincarnation of the world. Is there someone you want to resurrect?"

Otto supported himself with his hands and asked Amamiya Ren calmly.

"Rather than asking if there are people who want to be resurrected... I would like to ask you, are the people who are resurrected because of the world cycle reset really the same people who died? Or are they just new lives with their memory data loaded?"

The discussion of life and resurrection is profound and vital in any world.

In Devil Survivor 2, Hibiki Kuze defeated the world management device Polaris, causing the world to rewind to the recorded moment before it was destroyed. However, among his companions who fought alongside him during the countdown to the world's destruction, only one still retained all his memories.

In the story of P5R, the ideal world created by Takuto Maruki resurrected the parents of the Phantom Thieves and Goro Akechi.

But did Maruki Takuto truly change the world and revive the dead, or did he simply rely on the cognition of the living and forcibly use profile fragments to create a creature named after the dead?

If the existence is constructed according to the cognitive impressions of all those who knew the deceased, then in the eyes of people all over the world, the resurrected person is undoubtedly the person they know, but the hidden side of the real deceased that has never been shown to others will be completely erased and become a non-existent side.

Using cognitive fragments to piece together a complete person and claim that it is the person's resurrection is another form of usurpation, an insult and invasion of the deceased person.

The fact that P5R sent the resurrected people back to the graveyard without explaining it clearly became one of the three major reasons criticized by players.

In this world that seems to be a patchwork between the Devil Survivor and P5, Amamiya Ren feels very concerned about the true resurrection.

Others may not know the answer, but what Maruki Takuto inherited was the authority of the false god Yaldabaoth in front of him.

Now that the false god is sitting in front of her, Amamiya Ren must of course ask it a question.

"Interesting idea, but rather than asking me, you probably already have your own answer in your mind."

Otto's eyes flickered twice. He did not directly respond to Amamiya Ren's question, but kicked the ball back without answering the main question.

In Otto's opinion, Amamiya Ren himself is suspected to be a reincarnated person, and Kallen Kaslana, who becomes Amamiya Ren's personality mask, is undoubtedly a practice and confirmation of Amamiya Ren's resurrection theory.

"........"

Listening to the Lord's words is like listening to the words.

The false god's refusal to give a direct answer like a riddle-maker immediately silenced Amamiya Ren.

“Even if we look at the entire history, there are no two leaves in the world that are exactly the same. The method to truly revive the dead may only be known by the true gods... Hmm?!”

After mentioning resurrection, a topic that Otto has been obsessed with for five hundred years, even Otto couldn't help but say a few more words and sighed.

However, after saying this with emotion, Otto suddenly covered his forehead, and it seemed as if a ball of electricity suddenly exploded deep in his mind.

The memories that had long been forced to be forgotten returned vividly in his mind.

That was the memory of his meeting with the true god, the Will of Honkai, in Siberia during the Second Great Collapse!

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

I will try my best to write one more chapter tonight, and I will definitely finish it during the day tomorrow. I won’t put it off any longer!

Chapter 4 Otto: Got it, I want to seize the power of God! (K words)

In order to find a way to resurrect Kallen, Otto once set his sights on the authority of God's Apostle, the Serenity Gem, which is the core of the Herrscher of Death.

But unfortunately, the power of the Herrscher of Death, which Otto placed great hopes on, could only create a body without a soul and was completely unable to truly resurrect the dead.

If Otto just wanted to create a clone like Kallen, he could easily do it himself even without relying on the power of the Herrscher of Death, and he would have already done it.

However, during the Second Collapse, in addition to verifying the power of the Herrscher of Death from Sirin, the Herrscher of the Void, Otto also gained something unexpected.

That is, he came face to face with the god to whom the Herrscher belonged, the omnipotent Honkai Will.

Through the power of Yu Duchen, who was mimicked by Void Manzo, Otto induced Sirin, the Herrscher of the Void, to pray to the Will of Honkai.

Finally, the Will of Honkai descended, and Otto's consciousness successfully communicated with the God of Honkai, and got the answer to his long-cherished wish of how to resurrect Kallen.

However, the God of Honkai seemed to have the nature of a riddler. He did not directly answer Otto's question, but pierced his chest with a sharp blade transformed from the cross pendant, responding to Otto with his actions.

Although Otto received an answer from the Honkai Will on how to revive Kallen, after his consciousness returned to reality, he could hardly remember the content of his communication with the Honkai Will.

Only occasionally in his dreams at midnight, or when he adjusted his soul steel body and reviewed his past memories, would he be able to recall the original scene with a very small probability, and he would usually forget it again before he had time to make a record.

Because this was a memory that he could never recall, and would be quickly forgotten even if he did, Otto even felt that he could empathize with his old friend from Shenzhou.

When Otto occasionally recalled that memory, he racked his brains to guess the true intention of the Honkai Will.

The Will of Honkai may not have its own entity, so it borrowed his image to appear in front of him.

Or maybe it was completely intentional for the Honkai Will to appear in the image of Otto.

The Honkai Will committed suicide by stabbing a cross-formed blade into its own chest. Otto thought that it meant there was some way to sacrifice himself to save the real Kallen.

But now, according to the remarks of Amamiya Ren, a person who is suspected to be a reincarnated person, the behavior of the Honkai Will seems to have another completely different way of interpretation.

That is... Otto will solve the problem of Honkai that is invading civilization, defeat all the attacking Herrschers, and finally reach the front of the Honkai Will to kill the gods, so as to obtain the power to truly resurrect Kallen!

As a person who is suspected of reincarnation, the words of Amamiya Ren, a personal witness, are undoubtedly of sufficient weight in Otto's eyes.

However, I still need to observe carefully to confirm...

"You should have more experience than anyone else in matters of resurrection from the dead, Amamiya Ren."

Otto gathered the overly active and complicated thoughts in his mind. He had a calm expression on his face and spoke to Amamiya Ren in a deep voice.

After You Ran calmly revealed the truth, Otto focused all his energy on observing Amamiya Ren's emotional changes, trying not to miss even a momentary change of his mood.

As expected, and as Otto expected, when Otto said the key word "resurrection from the dead", Amamiya Ren's pupils suddenly dilated for a moment.

Although Amamiya Ren remained calm on the surface, it seemed as if she didn't understand what Otto was saying.

But through the connection between the mimicry of Yu Duchen and Amamiya Ren's dream, Otto, who had been keeping his eyes on Amamiya Ren like a waitress, naturally saw the panic that flashed through Amamiya Ren's heart for a moment, as if her secrets had been revealed.

Otto got the answer he wanted from Amamiya Ren's reaction, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise up in joy. He clenched his palms in excitement.

After thinking for a period of time and closely observing the way Amamiya Ren summoned the personality mask Kallen, Otto has determined the true identity of the Phantom Thief Kallen.

The personality mask Kallen is both Kallen and not Kallen.

She has the face and figure of Kallen Kaslana, as well as Kallen's personality and memories, but she is not the real Kallen that Otto wants to resurrect.

The personality mask Kallen is a record of the life experience of Kallen Kaslana, a member of the Kaslana clan, in the Kaslana Stigmata.

The personality mask Kallen can only be the proof that the real Kallen existed, and it is the epitaph of the real Kallen left in the world, but it is definitely not the saint that Otto really wants to resurrect.

Therefore, Otto must accomplish the lofty goal of defeating the God of Honkai and gain the power to revive the real Kallen!

He murdered the high and mighty gods, usurped the authority that belonged to the gods, and resurrected with his own power the Holy Maiden of Destiny who had passed away five hundred years ago!

After thinking about this, even with the superior qualities that Otto had acquired over the past five hundred years, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

Although the personality mask Kallen is not the real Kallen, she has the same noble will as Kallen, and possesses the same personality and memories as Kallen. Otto naturally has no intention of destroying the personality mask Kallen.

However, for the Persona User who holds the perfect Persona of Kallen, Otto believes that it is necessary for him to conduct a series of observations and tests on Amamiya Ren to verify whether Amamiya Ren is qualified to borrow the power of the Holy Maiden of Destiny.

".....I don't understand what you are talking about."

The identity of the time traveler was not explicitly stated, but the false god had already pointed out Amamiya Ren's experience as a person who had been resurrected from the dead.

The false god possesses the power to control people's hearts. He can easily change and manipulate the consciousness of the general public. The impression space is a special space formed by the convergence of human minds.

Although the game never mentions that the false god Yaldabaoth can read the target's past memories.

But if the false god can really do this, Amamiya Ren would not be very surprised.

He could only sweat silently.

If the false god could really read the memories of other life forms, what if it saw the famous scene of itself being pierced through the head by a sin-piercing bullet fired by the invincible Satan Yel?

Amamiya Lian suddenly felt a little chilly.

......Since the false god has not attacked me yet, he should only be able to see some of my memory fragments, or he may just be deceiving me.

If you panic and waver too much, you will fall into the trap of the false god.

With this thought in mind, Amamiya Ren maintained a calm expression throughout, without revealing the slightest flaw, and even her mind was quickly sorted out and calmed down.

"Haha, do you understand? We all know this... Compared to this, you should have witnessed something like the Herrscher being defeated, and humans finally facing the gods to restart the cycle of reincarnation."

Otto smiled twice without showing any emotion. He continued to make verbal tests with great interest towards Amamiya Ren in front of him, concentrating on observing Amamiya Ren's emotional fluctuations with the power of mimicking Yu Duchen.

Just as Otto wished, a reaction that confirmed Otto's speculation appeared again in Amamiya Ren's heart.

Although he couldn't read her mind completely, by using the mimic Yu Duchen as a lie detector, Otto still obtained an extremely rich amount of intelligence from Amamiya Ren.

"You don't need to hide anything from me. I already know your true identity and origins. You only need to answer my questions... How many main forces were there in the organization you witnessed? How many people actually stood before the gods? What was the final result?"

Otto saw that Amamiya Ren seemed to be aware that he could see through his mood changes. After deliberately maintaining a calm and ethereal meditative state, he spoke to Amamiya Ren frankly with a look that was half admiration and half regret.

"I can tell the difference between lies and truth. If you try to lie to me, I will refuse to help you."
