Honkai Impact 3, but I’m Amamiya Ren!

Although Grayshu looks very cute, she is just a young little girl who has not grown up yet. She looks even younger than Seele and Bronya.

Amamiya Ren still prefers more mature women, at least those who have developed to the level of Shadow Seele to be worthy of being conquered by him as a personality mask.

"...Personality? Sure, whatever you want."

A hint of confusion appeared in Kosmo's orange eyes. He didn't know what a personality mask was.

However, due to his personality and his natural sensitivity to such rare and handsome names, Kosmo quickly understood what the "Personality Mask" that Amamiya Ren mentioned was.

"But even if you subdue me and turn me into a personality mask, I can only use my combat abilities in a space like the Paradise of the Past. It will not be helpful for you in the battle in the real world."

Kosmo was silent for a while, but finally he frowned slightly and explained to Amamiya Ren the inconveniences that would arise if he, as a memory body, was subdued as a personality mask.

"Of course I know about this, but with Jizo's soul ability, I can project the personality mask into the real world, and I can maintain the strength to fight even in the real world."

After learning from Kosmo that the name of this impression space is [Paradise of the Past], Amamiya Ren silently memorized the name and responded to Kosmo in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Being able to project a personality mask into the real world is the power of Jizo's soul. If it's... forget it."

When Kosmo heard Amamiya Ren say that the Key of Corrosion Jizo Soul actually has the ability to give memory substance and make it materialize in the real world, his eyes suddenly lit up.

The memories of the Thirteen Fire-Chasing Heroes can only move within the realm of the Paradise of the Past. From another perspective, the heroes can be said to be imprisoned by the Paradise of the Past.

Even though the outside world is no longer their pre-civilization era, but the present civilization era where people are creating the future, the desire for freedom is as natural and deeply engraved in everyone's heart as a bird's desire to fly.

Before Amamiya Lian's visit today, Kosmo had no desire to leave the Paradise of the Past and go to the outside world. Being able to stay in the Paradise of the Past and be with his heroes as companions was enough for Kosmo.

Grayshu, who is carrying out the Ark Project in the real world, is even more lonely than him.

And when Amamiya Ren said that he could make Yingjie's memory appear in the real world, Kosmo undoubtedly began to be tempted.

If possible, Kosmo wants to know the whereabouts of Grayshu in the real world.

Moreover, Grayshu in the paradise has already painted the scenery of the paradise of the past life day after day for 50,000 years.

If Amamiya Ren is not an enemy, Kosmo also hopes that Grayshu can break free from the shackles of the paradise of the past and use her eyes to map the true scenery of the real world.

Kosmo decided to first complete the contact between himself and Amamiya Ren on behalf of Grayshu. If Amamiya Ren did not lie and had no ill intentions, it would not be a bad idea to let Grayshu become Amamiya Ren's personality mask.

Kosmo completely relaxed his body and mind. He closed his eyes and followed Amamiya Ren's guidance. His scarred body gradually dimmed and became transparent, and finally turned into a sky full of emerald green light spots dancing in the air.

As Amamiya Lian stretched out her palm, the emerald light transformed by Kosmo instantly poured into Amamiya Lian's palm and turned into a white half-covered spirit bird mask.

"Persona————Kosmo!!"

The figure of the personality mask Arsene turned into a phantom flame of red and blue and disappeared into the air.

After canceling the summons to Arsene, Amamiya Ren suddenly threw out the brand new white spirit bird mask in his hand. A dark blue flame instantly burned up from the air, and then gathered and condensed into the figure of a young man with green hair, green clothes, black horns and devil wings.

Kosmo, who reappeared in the space of the paradise of the past in the form of a personality mask, clenched his fists and moved his body silently.

After becoming the personality mask of Amamiya Ren, the corrosive virus that once dragged Kosmo into the quagmire of hell seemed to have disappeared and became extremely peaceful, no longer causing any effect on him.

As a fusion warrior with extremely strong physical fitness, Kosmo quickly regained his ability to move after losing the interference of the erosion virus.

After examining himself, he found that apart from some inexplicable connection between him and Amamiya Ren, there were no special negative changes.

This discovery immediately made Kosmo breathe a sigh of relief, and his tense face also relaxed a little.

"Kosmo! Are you okay?"

Just when Kosmo felt a little relieved, Grayshu was already running towards him from a distance with a pair of bare white feet. She nervously grabbed the corner of Kosmo's clothes and asked him with concern.

Chapter 5: Grayshu's Painting: The Demon King Who Resisted God! (K words)

"I'm fine, Grayshu... There's no need to fight anymore."

When looking at Gresh who was holding the corner of his clothes, Kosmo's eyes suddenly softened, and he spoke softly to Gresh to comfort her.

"I see, now that Grace knows, he is no longer an enemy... Your color is very special. It is a color that Grace has never seen before."

Grayshu nodded, not quite understanding.

Although she didn't quite understand how the situation had changed, since Kosmo said that everything was fine, she had already let go of her previous hostility towards Amamiya Ren.

Grayshue stepped out from behind Kosmo, she slightly raised her fair and delicate face, and looked carefully at the figure of Amamiya Ren in front of her. The shadow of the black-haired, black-clothed, and white-masked thief was reflected in her eyes as gorgeous as amethyst.

Grayshu's gaze was distant and deep. It seemed that she was not looking directly at Amamiya Ren who was standing in front of her, but seeing somewhere that ordinary people could not see.

"My color? What does that mean?"

Amamiya Ren frowned slightly in confusion, he looked down at his body to make sure there was no strange color on him.

"Your color is red, a very, very red red! But it's different from other reds."

The words that Grayshu described were as vague as a riddle, and Amamiya Ren was completely unable to understand what she was trying to express.

However, it is very normal for people of Grayshu's age to be unable to smoothly transform their thoughts into words and share them with others... Grayshu's real age may be very old, but Amamiya Ren is sure that Grayshu's mental age is as young and immature as her appearance.

No matter how Amamiya Ren looked at him, the only color on him was black, which was his phantom outfit. If he had to say red, it was only the pair of red gloves he wore on his hands.

However, the color of the gloves is not a special red, there is nothing special about it.

"I know, I know! Grayshu can see the colors in other people's hearts, and can even draw special paintings and landscapes based on the colors in other people's hearts!!"

With the end of the battle, the propeller turned into a large lightning spiral ring and returned to the fingers of Amamiya Ren, and the Jizo Soul Etching also ended its over-limit state and turned back into the normal form of Jizo Soul.

While Amamiya Ren and Grayshu were communicating, Higyokumaru's voice could not wait to be heard.

Feiyumaru flew out from Jizo's sword like a fox carrot, and hovered in the air between Amamiya Ren and Grayshu, spinning in circles. She excitedly raised her hand and explained to Amamiya Ren like a primary school student actively responding to the teacher's questions in class.

"Ling, are you okay now? That's great."

Just as Higyokumaru said, Graysh possesses the special ability to see through the colors in people's hearts.

Although the image of Hiyomaru has changed slightly, in Grayshu's eyes, the color in her heart has always remained consistent with the past and has a unique recognition, so Grayshu can identify Hiyomaru's identity at a glance.

Hiyomaru and Grayshu were playmates of similar age in the pre-civilization era.

After an absence of 50,000 years, when she saw Hiyomaru appear in front of her again in high spirits, Grayshure immediately covered her chest gently, and a happy smile appeared on her pretty face.

"I, I'm fine... But Gray, why are you and Kosmo here?"

Facing Grayshu's undisguised look of joy, Feiyumaru seemed to be scorched by the pure look, and looked away the moment his eyes met Grayshu's.

Although he was killed by the Fire Moth soldiers in the chaos and was controlled by the Honkai will due to his resentment, after transforming into the Herrscher of Corrosion, Feiyumaru did inflict a very heavy blow to the Fire Moth base, and even reduced the few survivors of the former civilization to a heartbreaking and despairing number.

This was a sin that Higyomaru had committed with his own hands, and Grayshu was undoubtedly one of the witnesses of the Herrscher of Corrosion incident.

After the excitement of meeting old acquaintances and playmates faded, Feiyumaru suddenly felt ashamed of the mistakes she had made, and was somewhat afraid to stay in front of Grayshu and Kosmo any longer.

"This is the paradise of the past. Although Gresh and I are the same as you remember, we are not our real selves. We are just projections. The real Gresh may still be somewhere in the real world, or she may have disappeared silently in the corner of history."

Facing Hiyomaru, who seemed to have recovered her memories and sanity as a human and was no longer an old acquaintance of hers who was corrupted by the will of Honkai, Kosmo spoke a very rare long speech to explain to her.

Taking into account Hiyomaru's IQ and comprehension ability, Kosmo deliberately used words that even Hiyomaru could easily understand.

The Paradise of the Past is a special space in the deepest part of the memory space, and Kosmo and Grayshu are the shadows existing in the Paradise of the Past.

The shadows and personalities in the impression space have corresponding mythological prototypes. It is very reasonable that Kosmo and Grayshu, who are shadows, have stronger original bodies in the real world.

Amamiya Ren could fully understand the explanation that Kosmo gave to Higyokumaru, but he was confused about another thing.

"...Your name is Higyokumaru, why did Gray call you Ling?"

Amamiya Ren looked at Hiyomaru, who habitually floated to her shoulder, with a slightly strange look in her eyes, and asked this to Hiyomaru who lowered his little head.

"Ling is my old name. Boss Joker, you can continue to call me Higyokumaru. That's my current name."

Feiyumaru waved her hand towards Amamiya Ren. She didn't seem to want to mention the name "Ling".

Since they are the shadows corresponding to the real Grayshu, Grayshu in the paradise of the past and Higyokumaru, who is also the shadow of Yaezakura, are acquainted with each other.

Personality masks are amazing!

If you think about it carefully, the names of personality masks do change.

As the mind of the personality mask user becomes stronger and more enlightened, the personality mask will evolve. While its abilities are greatly enhanced, even its image and name will change.

Generally speaking, there are three stages in the evolution of personality masks.

The shadow and the personality mask are two sides of the same coin. The shadow will become stronger due to the emotional changes of the original body in the real world, and even cause changes in name and image. This is also very reasonable.

Amamiya Ren no longer cared about the issue of Higyokumaru's past name, and he once again turned his attention to Grayshu.

"Grayshus, does your ability to see through other people's hearts have any special effects? I mean, can it have any impact on others?"

Since Grace can see the colors in other people's hearts, she should also be able to interfere with that color to create some special effects.

Because of the agreement between her and Kosmo, Amamiya Ren had no intention of taking Grayshuin as her own personality mask... To be more objective, after taking Kosmo as her own personality mask, Amamiya Ren once again felt the familiar feeling of being on the verge of a limit.

Even if Amamiya Ren wanted to subdue Grayshuin as a personality mask, there might not be enough space in his body to accommodate Grayshuin's personality mask.

When you return to Kaslana Palace, ask Kaslana to help you upgrade the Personality Mask reserve slots.

Amamiya Ren made this decision in her heart.

Although it is impossible to subdue Grayshuin as a personality mask, if Grayshuin's ability to see through people's hearts can produce some special effect, then she can still serve as a support role and provide behind-the-scenes assistance to Amamiya Ren's battle.

"Gresh can paint with the colors in other people's hearts. Gresh once painted a picture for Kosmo, and then monsters appeared in the picture. Kosmo said that they were the monsters in his heart, and those monsters listened to Kosmo very much."

Grayshut tilted her little head slightly, stretched out her slender white fingers and tapped her chin lightly, responding to Amamiya Ren in an ethereal voice.

"In other words, it is possible to summon the shadow soldiers in the heart of the person being painted in the form of a painting. It is an interesting ability."

Amamiya Ren raised his eyebrows slightly, and he quickly understood the function of Grayshu's ability.

Using a large number of shadow soldiers to attack the enemy, as Kosmo did before, is indeed an excellent way of fighting. No matter how many shadow soldiers are consumed, people will not feel sorry for them.

However, Amamiya Ren had already awakened and became a personality mask user. He did not have the palace and shadow in his mind. It was still unknown whether Graysh's special abilities could work on him.

"Anyway, Grayshuse, could you please draw a picture for me? I want to test whether this ability can have an effect on me."

After pondering for a while, Amamiya Ren made a decision. He planned to let Grayshu draw a picture using the colors in his heart.

If you can use paintings to summon shadow soldiers that you can command at will, it would be a huge profit.

If it cannot be summoned, then it will be a win-win outcome anyway.

"I understand. Leave it to me then."

In response to Amamiya Ren's request, Gray Xiu's childish and light voice suddenly became low. She nodded seriously as if pretending to be an adult, and even the tone of her voice became much clearer and sharper.

Grayshu's behavior was just like... a naughty child who suddenly imitated others' play? And the one imitating her was Amamiya Ren herself!

Just as Amamiya Ren opened his eyes wide in shock at Grayshu's unexpected behavior, Kosmo seemed to be worried that Amamiya Ren would misunderstand Grayshu's character, and hurriedly explained to him.

"Gresh's mind is like a blank piece of paper. Once she spends too much time in contact with others, she will be stained with the colors of others, and her words and deeds will be similar to those of the people she contacts. Only when Gresh paints those colors into a painting with a brush can she return to her original appearance."

"I see. This is a surprisingly interesting property."

After hearing from Kosmo about Grayshu's current condition, Amamiya Ren immediately showed a relieved expression.

Since Grayshu's words and actions began to become closer to himself, it meant that she had entered the working state and took the initiative to touch the color in her heart.

Under Amamiya Ren's gaze, Grace climbed back onto the high chair where she had been sitting previously.

After replacing the easel with a brand new blank canvas, Grace dipped the paintbrush into the paint tray a few times, and then she held the brush with her fair and tender knuckles and began to paint on the blank canvas stroke by stroke.

In order to provide Grayshu with sufficient painting pigments, Amamiya Ren did not leave here to explore other areas, but stayed beside Grayshu, watching the little painter paint from scratch the inner scenery of Amamiya Ren that she had glimpsed.

Not only Amamiya Ren herself, but even Velvi and Aponia who were in the deepest place opened their eyes wide and concentrated, carefully observing the painting created by Grace.

Aponia agreed to let Amamiya Ren leave the dark prison in the deepest place and sent him to the Dream Painting Studio where Grayshu was. The purpose was to use Grayshu's special ability to judge whether Amamiya Ren's character was trustworthy.

As Grace continues to wield her brush to paint on the canvas.

The depressing red paint gradually covers the entire blank canvas, giving people a strong sense of unease as if the end of the world is coming.

A dark red torrent like an ocean surged in the sky. A god with a halo on his head and six wings on his back was high above, controlling the dark red, world-destroying flood to rush down towards the cities and humans on the ground.

In the city below, humans had already died in the world-destroying dark red flood. The monsters wandering in the red flood dragged the humans down, and then monsters that looked exactly like the dead replaced the identities of the deceased and walked on the earth again.

Just as Aponia was feeling depressed because of the painting drawn by Grayshu, her vigilance towards Amamiya Ren continued to increase, and she even began to waver and consider whether to treat Amamiya Ren as an enemy.

Grayshut waved the paintbrush in her hand again. This time, she added a spark of hope called resistance to this doomsday scene that seemed like a god destroying the world.

Above the city that was about to be submerged by the world-destroying flood, a demon wearing a golden mask suddenly appeared. His body was as huge as a mountain, occupying almost the entire canvas space, and he had six black wings like fallen angels on his back.
