Honkai Impact 3, but I’m Amamiya Ren!

Wearing a pitch-black phantom outfit, Amamiya Ren crouched at the corner of the corridor, moving flexibly among the obstacles in the corridor like a black gust of wind.

Amamiya Ren stepped back and forth on the ground with his feet, but did not make any sound. He used the obstacles piled up in the corridor to conceal his figure and quietly approached behind the gray snake mutant who seemed unaware.

Amamiya Ren already knew that the Gray Snake was a cyborg weapon mass-produced by the Snake Followers, so while hiding his body, he also directed Feiyumaru to use the power of Jizo's soul to interfere with the detection systems on the Gray Snake.

"It's now!"

The gray snake noticed that its system was invaded by a foreign virus earlier than Amamiya Ren expected. It stood still in surprise, wanting to perform a quick virus self-check on its own body.

However, before the gray snake could begin to check the virus in its body, Amamiya Lian, who was already approaching behind the gray snake, suddenly jumped up and put her feet on the shoulders of the gray snake, whose body suddenly stiffened.

As Amamiya Ren, who was squatting on the gray snake's shoulder, jumped up for the second time, she completed a gorgeous turn in the air like a gymnast and landed lightly on the ground.

The pale one-eyed mask that was originally tightly attached to the gray snake's face was suddenly peeled off by Amamiya Ren's red-gloved hand!

"This is... the power of Jizo's soul?! Amamiya Ren... did you follow Hatagi into the base?!"

After seeing the black figure leaping out from behind him, stepping on his shoulders and reaching out to peel off the mask on his face.

Even though he hadn't seen the attacker's face, Gray Snake was able to immediately recognize the uninvited guest's true identity through his iconic black bird-wing windbreaker. He also realized the identity of the mysterious virus that had invisibly tampered with his system's feedback data.

Amamiya Ren, who holds the Key of Corrosion, is like a fish in water in the World Snake Base, which is a gathering place of the legacy technology of previous civilizations. She can easily trigger a huge crisis that will lead to the complete destruction of the base.

When the Gray Snake welcomed Yutu who entered the World Snake Base to accept the mission, it was well aware of the relationship between Yutu and Amamiya Ren and had been worried about this matter, so it secretly raised the alert level of the World Snake Base to the limit.

However, even though the Gray Snake raised the base's alert level to the highest level, it still could not detect any clues of Amamiya Ren sneaking into the base, and even began to think that the other Gray Snakes were overly worried.

However, just when the gray snake relaxed its vigilance, Amamiya Lian really came over quietly, and with very smooth and natural movements, she tore off its mask from behind! !

Just like the gray snake in the temporary base in Changkong City, this gray snake instantly made the same move as it did.

First, it instantly disconnected the connection with other Gray Snake networks to prevent the erosion virus from spreading to other Gray Snake bodies.

Then the gray snake immediately injected itself with a special potion developed by the jackal that could cause the human body to collapse and transform into a Honkai beast.

"Show your true form, Shadow!"

Amamiya Ren casually threw the white one-eyed mask in his hand aside. He slowly turned around, and the dark eyes behind the white spirit bird mask were as sharp as an eagle, locking their eyes on the gray snake that was regarded as prey.

After Amamiya Lian forcibly pulled off the white one-eyed mask on its face, the gray snake's face that was a mixture of flesh, blood and machinery appeared in front of Amamiya Lian. And because of the jackal potion, the flesh and blood part of the human body was rapidly undergoing the transformation into a beast.

The non-mechanical human parts of the gray snake were instantly stained with a pitch-black color, and its body tightly wrapped in black clothes suddenly swelled up like a balloon. Its scarlet eyes also quietly turned into the shape of irrational animal pupils full of violence and destructive impulses.

However, in an instant, the gray snake whose white mask was forcibly stripped off by Amamiya Ren changed from a normal human body into a shadow beast as huge and heavy as a tank, with dark blue lines flashing on its black body, exuding an extremely frosty breath, and having four sharp white fangs like an elephant.

As the gray snake cyborg in front of him turned into an out-of-control shadow beast, the entire Serpent Followers base was instantly filled with piercing, sharp buzzing alarm sounds, and a rich, deep red warning light flashed continuously in every corner of the base.

The tactical mechas and soldiers patrolling the World Snake Base received the signal at the first time and rushed towards the location where Amamiya Ren was.

Violent vibrations continued to be heard from various areas of the base. Heavy isolation doors made of alloy separated the various areas of the World Snake Base, attempting to block the escape route of the invaders.

"Persona! ————Come out, Sakura!!"

Amamiya Ren tightly grasped the Jizo Soul Sword in his hand, and a blue flame suddenly rose up from the void.

Along with the emergence of the blue flame, a slender figure wearing a red and white shrine maiden's uniform, with a pair of cherry-pink fox ears on the top of her long cherry-colored hair and a cherry-red spirit sword in her fair hands, suddenly responded to the call of Amamiya Ren, the messenger of the personality mask, and appeared in the real world!

"Big sis!! Come on, big sis, beat this wild boar to pieces!!"

After seeing Amamiya Ren summon Yae Sakura, Feiyumaru immediately became energized. She waved her hands with shining eyes and cheered loudly for Yae Sakura.

The personality mask Yae Sakura holds the spiritual sword Sakura Blizzard and makes a slashing motion towards the gray snake that has lost its rational control and completely transformed into the emperor-level Honkai beast Pavanti.

Sword lights as brilliant and gorgeous as cherry blossoms suddenly bloomed from the air, and criss-crossing sword attacks continued to attack the huge body of the emperor-level Honkai beast Pavanti.

The swordsmanship of Yae Shrine is most suitable for defeating large non-human monsters.

As Yaezakura danced with the cherry-red sword in her hand, she created a slashing action of cherry blossom petals that fell one after another in the air, which were materialized by the Honkai energy.

The emperor-level Honkai beast Pavani, which was transformed from a gray snake, suddenly let out an indescribable scream, and the thick and solid armor on its body was easily cut by Yae Sakura, leaving deep sword marks.

An astonishing chill emanated from the wound on Pavani, causing the surrounding air to cool down instantly and forming a thick layer of frost on the ground and walls.

Even though Pavani opened his bloody mouth and blew out a deep blue breath of frost in the direction of Yaezakura in counterattack, Yaezakura was able to dodge flexibly, causing all of Pavani's counterattacks to fall into the air and fail to cause any effective damage to her.

"Ying, lead it over here and let this shadow open the door of this laboratory himself!"

Just as Yaesakura was moving at high speed with agility and charm, constantly waving the Sakura Blizzard in her hand to create obvious scars on the body of the Emperor-level Honkai Beast, making it more violent due to the pain.

Amamiya Ren had already taken advantage of this opportunity to stand in front of the tightly closed heavy alloy door of the laboratory, and loudly conspired to the personality mask Yae Sakura who had completely gained the upper hand in the battle with Pavani.

Although Amamiya Ren herself was not unable to open the alloy door of this laboratory, which had obviously been reinforced with defenses due to the alarm.

However, whether it was the Jizo spirit that eroded the door and made it open automatically, or Amamiya Ren wielded the sword to forcibly cut open the thick alloy wall.

The impact these two things could bring to the researchers inside the laboratory was definitely not as direct and profound as the giant shadow beast emitting a frosty aura that rushed in like an out-of-control truck. It was more likely to shock and despair those researchers who had a deep understanding of the shadow.

Being attacked and destroyed by the Shadows that were the product of their experiments was more in line with the final outcome of those crazy researchers who wantonly played with human lives and forcibly transformed humans into Shadows.

Amamiya Ren decided to let the researchers who were conducting human experiments in the laboratory experience this kind of cold humor. It seemed that since they were always studying Shadow, they must be the ones who knew best how dangerous Shadow was.

"Understood, Master Joker, please get out of there quickly!"

Yaezakura nodded slightly to Amamiya Ren, and she began to deliberately slow down her pace of dodging, deliberately luring the emperor-level Honkai beast Pavanti towards the direction of the laboratory.

After the Gray Snake was transformed from a cyborg into an ice-attribute shadow named Pavanti, the Gray Snake's sanity completely evaporated and it could no longer understand human language and logic.

Therefore, even if Amamiya Ren and Yae Sakura conspired loudly in front of it, Pavanti fell into the trap just as Amamiya Ren had imagined, and was lured by Yae Sakura to run towards the laboratory door.

It wasn't even just a simple sprint. After a running start, Pavani suddenly began to roll forward at high speed like a round and rolling Pokémon, like a huge black rock rolling down from the top of a mountain, crushing everything in its way with unstoppable force.

Amamiya Ren and Yae Sakura evacuated from the front door of the laboratory in time, avoiding the increasingly powerful and fierce Pavanti who was charging at them like a rolling stone from a mountain, and allowed the huge black-blue shadow to crash into the thick alloy door of the laboratory.

The full-force charge of the Emperor-class Honkai Beast Pavanti tore through the heavy alloy steel door as easily as tearing a piece of thin paper. Amid screams from within the laboratory, it rushed into the spacious interior of the laboratory, destroying everything in front of it equally.

"Damn intruders, your target is actually my laboratory?! Who the hell are you?!"

In the laboratory of the World Serpent Base, Jackal, a cadre in charge of research and experiments in the World Serpent, couldn't help but look extremely gloomy as he looked at the researchers and various cutting-edge equipment that were destroyed by the emperor-level Honkai Beast Pavanti... mainly those sophisticated cutting-edge equipment.

"Wait a minute, the person next to the masked intruder... seems to be one of the heroes recorded in the classics, the hero named Ying?!"

"Why would Ying Jie follow the invaders and allow these synthetic beasts to attack us?!"

"We are the followers of Ying Jie, and we are the ones who are in the same group with Ying Jie!!"

"Sakura-sama, please save us and defeat this out-of-control synthetic beast and all the invaders!!"

As Amamiya Ren and the personality mask Yae Sakura stepped through the wreckage of the laboratory door destroyed by Pavani and entered, the researchers inside the laboratory who saw their images clearly immediately had various reactions.

Compared to Amamiya Ren, who clearly occupies a dominant position.

Instead, these researchers in the laboratory were more concerned about Yaezakura, who was standing quietly beside Amamiya Ren, and they all sought help from her.

Chapter 5: Dinner is ready, Kosmo! (K words)

"Everyone be quiet!! That's just a knockoff of Ying Jie. There's no way he's the real Ying Jie. That Ying Jie is already dead!"

Seeing that the researchers in the laboratory were extremely shaken because of Yaezakura beside Amamiya Ren, Jackal was immediately furious. She roared at the researchers beside her with anger in her tone.

"Activate the tactical mechas in the laboratory, as well as the synthetic beasts that have been installed with control devices. Send some of the combat forces to lure the Pavanti into the isolation room used for the experiment first! Gather all the remaining forces to fight against the invaders!!"

"Are you the director of this laboratory? Your days of forcing others to conduct human experiments are over. I, the Phantom Thief of Hearts, Joker, will announce your end!"

Standing at the highest point of the laboratory, a woman wearing a white slim-fitting shirt, brown skin, brown curly hair, and a black jackal mask on her face was giving orderly commands in an angry voice to the other researchers in the laboratory who were losing their composure and panicking.

Such a domineering and overbearing attitude made Amamiya Ren instantly determine the identity and status of the woman wearing the black jackal mask in this laboratory.

The researchers in this laboratory seemed to know something about Sakura, and it could even be said that they believed in Yaezakura.

This strange phenomenon made Amamiya Ren marvel in her heart.

However, even if these researchers are all devout believers of Yaezakura, Amamiya Ren has no intention of letting them go.

Personalities are entities that exist in myths and legends around the world, or they are characters in stories that are passed down among people. Yae Sakura is no exception, and it is only natural that she has fans in the real world.

The only abnormal thing is that these fans who believe in Yae Sakura also believe in the evil god Yaldabaoth.

In other words, the evil god is the real object of these researchers' faith, and Yaezakura is just one of the beings they believe in.

"What is the Phantom Thief of Hearts Joker? He is nothing but a ridiculous clown! How dare you break into my laboratory? I will let you see how powerful I am!!"

The human experiments carried out in the World Snake Laboratory are to transform humans into Honkai beasts. In order to prevent the synthetic Honkai beasts from going out of control, the protective measures and armed forces within the laboratory are naturally perfect.

Compared to the alloy door that was easily destroyed by the emperor-level Honkai beast Pavanti, the interior of the laboratory is truly impregnable.

As one activated tactical mecha after another slowly walked out from the corner, the synthetic beasts controlled by computer AI woke up from their slumber and swarmed towards Amamiya Ren like a swarm of insects, and the situation changed.

Feeling that the situation was very good and that she was sure to win, the Jackal's tone, which had previously contained strong anger, suddenly became arrogant.

Even through the black jackal mask on her face, Amamiya Ren could imagine the arrogant look on her face at that moment.

"You said I just forced them to conduct human experiments? How ridiculous! I didn't need to use any coercive means at all!"

Thinking that he had gained an absolute advantage, the swelled Jackal crossed his arms over his chest and explained to Amamiya Ren the sources of the human experimenters in her laboratory.

"As long as I spread the news that undergoing experimental surgery can cure terminal diseases that are impossible to cure in the outside world, and randomly push one or two successful individuals to the front, people who want to enter this laboratory to become my research materials will be like carp crossing the river. No matter how prominent their background and status in the outside world are, when they come to me, they can only kowtow and beg for treatment. What I mean is that they are all willing, and I have never forced them!"

Although Jackal claims that all the subjects in her laboratory voluntarily underwent human modification surgery, this does not mean that she is a kind-hearted person who respects human rights.

The jackal was just enjoying the pleasure of seeing the famous upper-class people in the outside world bowing down to him and doing everything they could to please and beg him to save them.

If we abandon the psychological pleasure of personal enjoyment, for the Jackal, it makes absolutely no difference whether it is forcibly kidnapping ordinary people into the laboratory or inducing upper-class people with terminal illnesses to the laboratory for experiments.

Whether they are healthy ordinary people or dying people suffering from illness, Honkai energy treats them all equally.

Whether or not the subjects can survive the human experiment, all they can rely on is their luck and the degree of compatibility between their own physique and the Honkai Beast Factor.

It is a great pity that, despite all the efforts made by the Jackal, and the sacrifice of countless lives of experimenters, she still has not been able to reach the level of super-transformation surgery undergone by the heroes of the previous civilization. The most she has done is to create some powerful synthetic beasts that can be used to control combat.

As for the very few lucky ones who, among the huge number of sacrifices, survived the human experiments and instead defeated the disease because of the remaining Honkai beast factors, they were purely the products of failed experiments in the eyes of the Jackal. Letting them go was just to use the survivors as living signs to attract the next batch of victims to jump into the pit of human experiments.

"You said you never forced anyone... but you're lying. Considering the probability of the experiment's success, and facing the subjects whose lives and deaths are completely controlled by you, I don't believe you can control your likes and dislikes and try your best to save every person who has a chance to survive the experiment."

Even though it was only her first meeting with the jackal, Amamiya Ren was able to instantly see through the evil nature of this brown-skinned woman who looked well-dressed.

How could such an arrogant guy who easily shows his joy not bring his personal emotions into the surgical procedures involving human subjects?

After being hit on the point by Amamiya Ren's words, the jackal fell silent.

Although her expression was covered by the black jackal mask, the jackal's body was shaking violently due to anger and humiliation, which could not be concealed in any way.

"You smooth-talking fellow! I hope your hands are as tough as your mouth. You'd better pray that you die quickly at the hands of my army, or I will tear your mouth apart myself and perform the most cruel experiments on you one by one!!"

The Jackal took a deep breath, and she waved her hand suddenly, giving an attack order to the tactical mechas and synthetic beasts that surrounded Amamiya Ren and the personality mask Yae Sakura.

Looking at the jackal's actions that seemed to break through her defense and try to physically destroy her, Amamiya Ren was not angry at all. Instead, she felt a little relieved.

If the jackal was really conducting human experiments on terminally ill patients in order to give them a chance to survive, then Amamiya Ren really didn't know how to deal with the jackal for a moment.

Fortunately, the Jackal has never concealed his nature as a villain, so Amamiya Ren does not need to change her plan because of the Jackal's evil nature.

Amamiya Ren and Yae Sakura clenched their weapons at the same time, and the sword lights of Jizo Mihun and Sakura Fubuki flashed out in an interlaced manner. The red-black and cherry-red light formed a huge X-shaped sword light, which killed all the enemies blocking the way like harvesting wheat stubble in a field.

Under the jackal's frightened gaze, Amamiya Ren and the personality Yae Sakura seemed to be invincible. Every time they swung their swords, large groups of enemies fell down instantly.

Whether it's a tactical mecha with full firepower or a synthetic Honkai beast that uses various special abilities to attack, none of them can be a match for Amamiya Ren.

If the Jackal had not been in the laboratory base, with a constant supply of troops like locusts as reinforcements, he would have been forced in front of Amamiya Lian long ago.

"Lower the isolation door! Quickly release the highest concentration of hypnotic gas!!"

After realizing that Amamiya Ren was far more dangerous than she had expected and was not just an ordinary nobody, Jackal couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and quickly gave orders to the researchers behind her.

"But, Lord Jackal, if we lower the isolation gate now, other colleagues will also be isolated in the battlefield. Isn't this... Ugh!!"

A researcher standing in front of the laboratory control terminal looked hesitant, but just as he opened his mouth to raise questions, the Jackal pulled out a pistol and shot the researcher who did not follow his orders, and forced other researchers to carry out his instructions.

The heavy isolation door that even the upper-level emperor-level Honkai beast could not destroy fell down with a loud bang, separating the control area where the jackal was and the high-intensity battlefield where Amamiya Lian was located.

Black pipes extended from the corners of the laboratory, and what sprayed out of the pipes were not bullets, but streams of extremely dense white gas.

The high-concentration hypnotic gas specially used to deal with Honkai beasts instantly filled the entire space behind the isolation door.

Even though Amamiya Ren held his breath immediately, he still felt sleepy in the environment of high concentration of hypnotic gas.

The large lightning spiral ring worn on the middle finger of Amamiya Ren's left hand emitted a dazzling deep purple lightning.

While stimulating the body to stay awake, the suddenly unfolding electromagnetic force field instantly dispelled the hypnotic gas surrounding Amamiya Ren's body into the distance.

Although Yaezakura is already a personality mask, the personality mask can also fall into an abnormal state called coma.

After unexpectedly inhaling a mouthful of high-concentration hypnotic gas, although Yae Sakura did not fall into a coma, her attacking movements slowed down a lot, and even her dodging speed became a little sluggish.
