"Seriously, why would Yalin choose Shinji Ikari? This guy is just not suited to be a pilot."
Asuka complained, unable to understand it.
"The rest is up to you. The first objective is to eliminate the Angels, and at the same time, to rescue Unit-01 if possible."
Misato Katsuragi said wearily, saying that she hadn't had a moment's rest during this time and only hoped that it could end smoothly.
None of the three drivers, regardless of who was lost, would have been what she wanted.
"Don't worry, I won't lose to the Night Angel." Asuka said casually, her eyes fixed on the Night Angel.
Since the shadow is the real body, then destroy it using the AT field and the Spear of Longinus.
The replica of the Spear of Longinus is a perfect fit for this field.
Rei Ayanami remained as quiet as ever, while Akame observed the situation in the shadows. Then she said with certainty, "Unit-01 is coming back."
Having awakened to Lilith's true nature, she is able to perceive the truth in many situations.
The only thing she couldn't understand was Yalin, her guardian.
Despite being a member of Li Lin, he acts strangely, with no record of him even in the Dead Sea Scrolls.
After Rei Ayanami made her judgment, the entire area of Tokyo covered by shadows began to shake violently, and the space shrouded by the Night Angel began to twist and dent irregularly, as if it were being beaten and deformed from the inside.
It's just a black and white sphere, yet it gives off a disheveled and miserable feeling.
A few breaths later, the Night Angel, unable to withstand the strain, was torn in two before everyone's shocked eyes. Blood gushed out from the gap, staining the surrounding area red.
Unit-01 emerged step by step from within, its body bathed in the blood of the Angels, and stood on the earth.
.......
"Senior, thank you for your help, Xie Yingqi Yi Er Er Jun."
After the war ended, Shinji Ikari left Unit-01 and rushed to Arlin, thanking him with great excitement.
The information that Yarin-senpai gave Shinji Ikari was of great significance, giving him a renewed sense of purpose in life.
In a world where everyone is a riddle teller, someone like Senior Yalin is truly a beacon of light.
"This is nothing. Now that you've found the direction, the next Apostles are yours to handle," Yalin said with a smile.
The remaining Angels are of little use to him anymore. Even the Angel of Strength, touted as the strongest, wouldn't be a match for three EVA units.
Having solidified his resolve, Shinji Ikari was able to single-handedly pilot Unit-01 to defeat the remaining Angels, except for Kaworu Nagisa.
In this situation, Yalin doesn't need to pay extra attention; at most, he might occasionally glance at Gendo Ikari to see what kind of tricks the commander can pull off.
"I will not let my senior down." Shinji Ikari made this promise with a warm feeling in his heart.
To him, Senior Yarin was more like a father figure than his indifferent biological father, Gendo Ikari.
He admired and looked up to such predecessors.
"Don't slack off on your daily training; you need a good physique to fight the Apostles," Yalin said with a smile.
This training method is applicable to the EVA world; perhaps it could be called the LCL training method?
After all, the humans in this world are essentially constructed from LCL, so it's quite suitable.
Why did Senior Yalin say that?
Shinji Ikari was puzzled for a moment, then his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Senior, could it be you...?"
"Shh... It's good that you know, this is a secret that can't be revealed for now." Yalin stopped Shinji Ikari from continuing.
Asahi became increasingly mysterious and unpredictable in Shinji Ikari's mind.
"Tsk, it's just killing an Apostle, why show off in front of Yalin?" Not far away, Asuka watched this scene with her arms crossed and couldn't help but mutter.
Rei Ayanami is one thing, but why is Shinji Ikari getting involved?
However, if it were a young girl who was so enthusiastic towards Yalin, she probably wouldn't be able to resist going over and snatching him away.
......
Time flies, and half a quarter has passed in the blink of an eye.
Yalin's shadow clone sat on the moon, watching the scenes unfolding in Third New Tokyo City.
Gendo Ikari has been quite busy lately. In addition to dealing with SEELE, he has been trying to guide Rei Ayanami back on track and create a new clone, but various unexpected events have occurred, and he has been unable to make effective progress.
This baffled him, and he frowned and pondered for three days and three nights without being able to come up with a reasonable explanation.
With everything going wrong, Gendo Ikari tries to shift the blame onto Shinji Ikari when faced with Ritsuko Akagi's attempts to comfort him, but he fails.
After his transformation, Shinji Ikari, though retaining his original personality and nature, has come to understand many things and feels distant from his father, unwilling to get close to him.
Of course, if Gendo Ikari were willing to have a heart-to-heart talk and show fatherly concern, Shinji Ikari, given his personality, wouldn't refuse. But for Gendo Ikari, whether out of jealousy or resentment, he would never show this side of himself to his son.
Ritsuko Akagi sensed something and tested Gendo Ikari several times. After an argument during one of their encounters, the two parted on bad terms.
From then on, Gendo Ikari would occasionally take out Yui Ikari's clothes and think of her, as if Yui Ikari would always be by his side.
Whether it was his imagination or not, Gendo Ikari noticed that his face was becoming increasingly fairer every time he looked in the mirror, and that his features were vaguely similar to Yui Ikari's.
Occasionally, when he looked at that familiar yet unfamiliar face, he had the illusion that Yui Ikari's soul had transferred into his body.
"Hiss~, is he subconsciously choosing to change in the direction of Yui Ikari?" Yalin was somewhat surprised by Gendo Ikari's change.
Putting aside everything else, this commander's obsession with this matter is truly admirable.
Rei Ayanami and Asuka Langley Soryu are still in the stage of constantly competing and vying for supremacy.
Well, it was mainly Asuka who initiated the challenge, while Rei Ayanami didn't seem to care, focusing instead on battles and daily life.
Yalin watched the changes in the Third New Tokyo City and witnessed the defeat of one apostle after another.
Until Seele sent the last Adamian apostle to NERV headquarters.
......
Inside the park, Shinji Ikari and the white-haired, red-eyed boy hit it off immediately and became inseparable friends in a short time.
Kaworu Nagisa, the seventeenth apostle, the angel of freedom, is the soul of Adam.
This person's goodwill towards Shinji Ikari is undisguised; the two seem to be perfectly compatible and are natural friends.
Even Yalin had to admit that the two were really compatible.
No matter what world we're in, once we meet, we're friends for life.
Unfortunately, this friendship ended without fruition.
When Kaworu Nagisa infiltrates Central Dogma and discovers the truth about Lilith, the two are destined to part ways.
.....
When the seventeenth apostle lost all signs of life, Arin on the moon rose.
At this moment, the satellite beneath our feet emitted a faint yet sacred white light.
The patterns and textures of space undulate on this satellite, revealing immeasurable laws that can open the door to a negative universe at any moment.
The moon was the place he chose to become a god.
It combines the barrier magic of Type-Moon, the space-time ninjutsu of Naruto, and the research and understanding of spatial attributes in the worlds of Akatsuki and Date A Live with the imaginary space of this world.
Yalin set up a spacetime barrier that covered the entire moon, isolating it from all sides.
This barrier was created to prevent the anti-AT force released upon becoming a god from affecting humanity.
If all of humanity were to turn into orange juice, the cleanup would be incredibly difficult. Even dealing with just a portion of it would be a huge challenge.
The body can be recreated, but the damage to the mind is difficult to repair.
It is impossible for Yalin to make such a mistake.
"Adam's apostles have all been destroyed, and now comes the time for him to become a god."
Volume 1: Chapter 112: Co-evolution (4k)
The light emanating from the moon was barely perceptible, and at first no one noticed anything amiss. They simply felt that the moon was exceptionally bright that night, bringing a sense of peace.
After a busy day, people finally have some free time. They stop what they're doing, look up at the starry sky, and are captivated by the beautiful, bright moon, momentarily lost in thought.
The negative emotions that had been building up in my heart for so long slowly dissipated at this moment, replaced by a sense of joy and encouragement. A smile unconsciously appeared on my face, and a glimmer of hope for the future ignited within me.
The heavy atmosphere of the world was no longer so oppressive at this moment.
Many people even sent messages to their relatives and friends, inviting them to enjoy the moonlight and relax together.
This change was subtle and difficult to detect, but over time, professionals noticed something was wrong and took action.
"What's going on? Have another Angel appeared?" In the NERV headquarters command room, Misato Katsuragi rubbed her temples, feeling somewhat exhausted.
During this period, she had a smooth and successful time. Even when the apostles appeared, they were easily suppressed by the three drivers, and no major losses were caused.
The most dangerous moment was when the seventeen apostles invaded the central church, but Shinji stopped them.
In such circumstances, it's easy for people to become complacent.
"An apostle connected to moonlight is quite troublesome." Although the apostle's presence was not detected, based on past experience, it was inextricably linked to this.
"Perhaps they are not Angels... humanity's true test has only just begun." Ritsuko Akagi hesitated, her gaze fixed on Shinji Ikari and Unit-01.
As a member who knew Seele's objective, she was aware that all the Adam-type apostles on Earth had been wiped out.
Now only humans live in this world as the eighteen apostles.
Next, SEELE should implement the Human Instrumentality Project, bringing everyone together as one.
This peculiar moonlight might have something to do with those old people.
Or perhaps, Gendo Ikari is using this to achieve his own goals?
Ritsuko Akagi sighed. After discovering Gendo Ikari's indifference and coldness towards her, she gradually woke up from her past wishful thinking. She then secretly investigated and discovered that Gendo Ikari had only been using her, leaving her disheartened and even contemplating revenge.
However, when she saw Gendo Ikari's current androgynous state, she felt both disgusted and incredibly pleased.
Therefore, he observed the entire plan unfolding with detached indifference.
"Speaking of which, where are Commander Gendo Ikari and Vice Commander Ayrin? They need to take charge at this time." After analyzing the situation to no avail, Misato Katsuragi realized that several key figures were absent, and her mindset became somewhat unbalanced.
