Shinji Ikari returns from Warhammer

[-]: Beginning and Ending, Knocking on the Door of Heaven

Unit No. 13 retreated step by step, leaving a safe distance between himself and Unit No. [-]. In other words, he was forced to retreat by the murderous aura on Unit No. [-].The aerial combat-type artificial apostles formed a circle and took a half step forward. They were both oppressed by Shinji Ikari's domain and fearful of the power he held.The thing that is enough to scare even the more deified machines is Machine No. [-]. When his true face is exposed, no matter how cold-blooded the apostle is, he will tremble because of the biological instinct.

With his chest pierced, four arms torn off, and his body covered in bruises, Ikari Yuantang was already a beast forced to the edge of a cliff.

"Are you ready, Ikari Gendo? Along with your divinity, this machine, and everything you are proud of, I will trample into the soil." Shinji Ikari stretched his arms, and the light gathered in his palms .

The light wheel struck the shoulder of the No. 13 machine, pressing this sacred creature that surpassed all living things to the ground violently. The remaining light wheels cut in turn, dismembering his body in an absolutely cruel way, and then purple smoke enveloped it. The figures of two people.Shinji Ikari raised his eyebrows, a huge amount of purple mist like liquid nitrogen filled the air, but at this moment, Peiran's energy made the No. 13 machine on the verge of death distance itself from him.

“The promised moment has arrived, let’s open the door to heaven!”

The white arms composed of energy unfolded, and the double colored halo behind the NO.13 machine burst out with color again, drawing a pattern composed of countless arcs.

The pattern is not complicated, just multiple arcs forming a pattern similar to the superposition of infinity symbols.But the door opened by this brings the majestic power of another universe.

The broken sky tower completely shattered Hakone. During the collapse, two figures, purple and white, chased each other and rushed to the sky.

Yes, the energy that was enough to reverse the universe just now is enough to prove that the No. 13 machine is the awakened body that surpasses the No. [-] machine, but why can't it defeat him!Why can't I defeat Shinji Ikari!Why? !

Ikari Yuantang drove the No. 13 aircraft towards high altitude without turning back. He couldn't figure it out. It was completely unreasonable!He was stronger than Shinji Ikari in terms of awakening, body strength, and power, but he was so vulnerable during the collision!

But the next second, a hellish sound sounded behind him.

"Is the energy that just poured out from the negative universe your last trump card? For a guy like you, the door to heaven will never open for you. Stop bluffing!"

The bright light gun penetrated his chest again from the bottom of the No. 13 machine.But it was not over. Ikari Yuantang's struggle just now made him realize that the machine in front of him had immortality beyond that of the apostle, and he must be penetrated to the depths of hell with the hottest spear.

The NO.13 aircraft rose from the ground to the sky, and then fell from the sky downwards.

At this time, the people on the ship of hope floating in the clouds looked at the mythical scene in front of them. The light gathered in the palm of the No. [-] machine standing in the sky, and an unprecedentedly huge light gun took shape.

The light was so dazzling that it took away the surrounding light, leaving only this gleam of light in the entire world.

The moment it was thrown down, it turned into a rain of light that filled the sky.

Platinum-gold light saturates the entire sky, and each raindrop is a spear of light, carrying an extremely fierce momentum that penetrates the body of NO. 13 machine one after another until it falls into the abyss.

"It's over." Misato Katsuragi closed her eyes, "This time I will witness the myth with my own eyes."

It is indeed a myth, they are all mythical characters.The winner is naturally the righteous Lord of Hosts, and being pierced by the hot spear to hell is Satan who disobeys destiny.

"When the No. 13 machine awakened, the door to the kingdom of heaven was not opened for him, and Ikari Yuantang had already failed." Fuyutsuki Xingzou, who was also watching the battle from a distance, did not have any emotion. This result was completely unsatisfactory to him. As expected.

There are many Adams, but only a few can truly guide the soul and open the door to heaven.Ikari Yuantang is qualified, but his awakening was too hasty and did not meet all the conditions.

What was once the central dogmatic area is now a dark, bottomless abyss.

It is from here that a straight pillar reaches the sky, lifting Hakone, which was once buried in the underground world, to the clouds.But now the collapsed Sky Tower and the shattered Hakone have returned to their rightful place.

Unit [-] was parked nearby, a gentle breeze blowing.Shinji Ikari walked to the edge of the dark abyss and looked at the bottom of the dark abyss, where his past was buried.

He turned around as if aware of it and saw a white angel descending from the sky, it was Kaoru Nagisa.

Behind him, there is Asuka.She was enveloped in the white mist-like realm like wings of light, and came here together.

"I don't have enough time. I just wanted to figure out something." Shinji Ikari said.

Speaking of which, WILLE's actions also disrupted Shinji Ikari's plan.But the most critical secrets have been figured out.Next it's like putting the pieces together like a puzzle.

"It doesn't matter, leave it to me next." Nagisa Kaoru smiled, "If you still have time, it would be a good idea to go back to Tokyo Tower and take a look. That is the core area, full of unconscious wanderers."

"What is that?" Shinji Ikari looked at the huge thing revealed after the collapse of Hakone.

Nagisa Kaoru followed his gaze and looked forward, "That is the Egg of Lilith, the Black Moon, the House of GUF, the end and starting point of all souls. It is also the seventh heaven in Jewish mythology."

The behemoth that bears so many names is actually an object that resembles a goblet.

"If Ikari Gendo's plan succeeds, he can also use the Black Moon to trigger additional impact and create his own gun." Nagisa Kaoru added.

"I see. No wonder I always feel that Ikari Yuantang is a bit of an anticlimax. It turns out that I can complete the plan again here."

"Of course, that key only gives him the ability to play against the gods. The name of Nebuchadnezzar is enough to explain all this."

Nebuchadnezzar was the king of ancient Babylon.Literally speaking, people will only think that it symbolizes "power" or "ability".Those who are actually slightly familiar with the Old Testament will realize the meaning of "Babylon" in the Old Testament.

Babylon is the city of demons, and the king of Babylon is the great demon.Humans built the Tower of Babel as a blasphemy. After it was destroyed, the city of the abandoned Tower of Babel became Babylon. The city was in chaos and demons were rampant.In history, the king of Babylon once plundered all the Jews and became the famous Babylonian prisoner. This was a great disaster in Jewish history, and this king was Nebuchadnezzar.

Naturally, the Old Testament has nothing good to say about Babylon, and Nebuchadnezzar was the object of the Jews' resentment and the king of demons.

In reality, the Nebuchadnezzar's Key, which is blasphemous to the gods, only gives Ikari Gendo the ability to play against the gods.In essence, it is similar to the genetic modification technology of the Space Marines, except that it has something extra that can be called a "special identity" or "fate".

Shinji Ikari glanced back at the bottomless abyss for the last time, then turned and walked forward.

"…Haga Shinji."

A faint voice that only Shinji Ikari could hear sounded in the distance behind her. It vaguely seemed to be Asuka's voice. It was unclear whether it was asking for help or mocking.

He turned his face sideways, and Asuka stood not far away with her arms folded, looking at him coldly. It seemed like she was just hearing something.

Three hours later, after collecting the trophies and at least publicizing them as trophies to the public, the WILLE fleet drove the main ship of Hope to the edge of the abyss.

Only the Ship of Hope and the accompanying fleet are still stationed at the edge of the L barrier.Misato Katsuragi, wearing protective clothing, stood at the edge of the hatch. Here she only saw Asuka and the boy she suspected to be Adam, but there was no sign of Shinji Ikari.

The searchlight shone on Nagisa Kaoru. He had no obstruction or protection, and his white clothes made a hunting sound.But such an ordinary gesture made everyone on the Ship of Hope stand ready.

Although they don't know the true identity of Nagisa Kaoru, they can control the No. 13 machine with their will alone, use a human body to resist the transcendent deity No. [-] machine, and the most important thing - the blue logo that symbolizes the apostle.

"There is no need to be alert," Misato Katsuragi ordered to Kitakami Midori behind her, "put me down."

The sling brought Misato Katsuragi to the ground. Asuka didn't look at him at all. She sat cross-legged on the rock and played games. Three hours passed, and she was guarding Unit [-] and the incomplete Unit [-]. beside.Like Nagisa Kaoru and Ikari Shinji, she can survive freely inside the barrier with only her physical body.Except for Shinji Ikari and Makiha, the others couldn't even cause her mood swings. They didn't need to eat, drink, or sleep.In this state, she already had half a foot on the apostle's side.

"Get ready to receive Unit [-] and Unit [-]. We have agreed with the guy over there that Unit [-] will still be kept by us and he has no objection. However, SEELE may cause some trouble."

"Aren't those old guys dead yet?" Misato Katsuragi sneered, "Unit-[-] has been ours from the beginning to the end, and SEELE, who is complicit with NERV, is also an enemy who is ready to destroy the world. He has no opinion on the enemy. How much you need to care.”

No matter how scared Katsuragi Misato was in her heart, she still acted tough on the surface.

"So be it, but with our current resources, there is absolutely no way to repair Unit [-]. It is so dilapidated that it really makes people angry."

Asuka jumped back to the Ship of Hope with her hands in her pockets like Shinji Ikari.

After handing over the two mechas and Asuka to Misato Katsuragi, Kaoru Nagisa's mission was completed.When they passed by Misato Katsuragi, no one said anything.Misato Katsuragi clearly saw half of the fig leaf on the chest of his shirt and roughly knew his position.

On the most principled matter, WILLE and Nagisa Kaoru agree. No one can allow the No. 13 machine to complete its final awakening. However, the former is for the surviving humans, while the latter's purpose is simpler.So after Shinji Ikari left, Kaoru Nagisa was still stationed here.

But Katsuragi Misato did not thank him. Nagisa Kaoru did not fight against No. 13 machine to help WILLE, but just to fight against Ikari Gendo. After the end, the two sides were no longer allies.

"Hey!" Misato Katsuragi said.

Nagisa Kaoru stopped. He didn't speak, but his eyes seemed to be asking what was going on.Misato Katsuragi thought for a while: "Although I don't know where he went, you should know. It's up to you to hand this thing over to him."

What Misato Katsuragi threw over was a black Walkman. Kaoru Nagisa gently stroked the side of the phone, as if he could feel the presence of Shinji Ikari through it: "Okay."

"We will still face each other with swords on the battlefield, Adam, whose side are you on?"

Nagisa Kaoru didn't speak, nor did he say whether he was Adam.Like Shinji Ikari, he glanced at the bottomless black pit, raised his head and flew into the blue sky again.

This familiar posture made Katsuragi Misato a little surprised, and finally couldn't help but whisper, "You still said you were innocent, but the second impact was indeed done by Ultraman!"

"The mental curve is normal."

"The synchronization rates are all at normal levels."

Just now, the link between the control center and the qualified person was suddenly disconnected. Although it was only for a moment, it was reconnected, but it still made everyone stand ready.

"But as of now, it seems that the change of the third qualified person just now is just an emergency." Aoba Shigeru wiped away the cold sweat.

"Speaking of which, Unit Zero is always in trouble, and has the most out-of-control runaways among all Evangelios." Hinata Makoto added.

In the command room of the First Test Site in Old Hakone, Hitomi Kaga looked at Maya Ibuki, the person in charge of this experiment, "It's over, we can announce it."

"Ah? Oh!" Ibuki Maya came to her senses. Originally, she was still waiting for Ritsuko Akagi to announce the end of the experiment. It was not until Hitomi Kaga reminded her that she realized that she was the person in charge of the experiment. She cleared her throat. , walked to the microphone, "Hey! Shinji, can you hear me?"

"Yes." Shinji Ikari responded to her lightly.

"The experiment is over, you can come out. Oh, yes, you can come out!" Ibuki Maya took a deep breath, what should I say?What's the technical term for removing qualified people from the experiment?And what’s the next process?She forgot all about it, even though she didn't forget it at all when she was working as an assistant.

Shinji Ikari didn't pay attention to Ibuki Maya's nervousness, if he wanted to.He could pop out of Unit [-]'s body at any time, but he just didn't want to scare them.

After spending two days in a parallel world, there is still no time to flow after returning.If it weren't for the portable hard drive clearly in his pocket, he would have doubted it was a dream.

Coming out of the cockpit, Shinji Ikari went to the dressing room and changed into his original clothes. The mobile hard drive that stored the new technology of the life support cabin was carefully kept in his inner pocket, and then he went to the bathroom to wash his face.

"Congratulations, the experiment was successful." Ritsuko Akagi's voice sounded next to him.

One hundred and sixty-eight: respective mornings, respective daily routines

"Thanks to everyone's efforts." Shinji Ikari brushed his face with clear water and did not raise his head to look back at the other party.

Ritsuko Akagi didn't mind, but she leaned on the sink and stared at Shinji Ikari quietly, "The successful reversal of the absolute field is a major breakthrough in the research on the AT position. Maybe it's just something you can do casually." The technology has been completed, but this research data can take NERV research a step further, and perhaps, after several simulation experiments, other qualified people can master this technology."

"Actually, you have been paying attention, why don't you be the person in charge of this experiment yourself." Shinji Ikari took the towel handed by Ritsuko Akagi and gently pressed it against his cheek to absorb the moisture.

"Because Ibuki Maya needs this honor more than I do. She is a very good girl, but she is a little shy and dare not come in front of others. Although she is very clumsy, as long as you are here, the experiment will be fine."

"Then please do me a favor." Shinji Ikari turned around and took out the mobile hard drive from his pocket, "It contains life-saving cabin technology. I am too professional to explain it, but I believe you will understand it after reading it. Clear."

"Okay, I'll get back to you tomorrow." Ritsuko Akagi put the mobile hard drive into the pocket of her white coat. Although NERV, the survival capsule technology, was already at the forefront of the world, it was able to be discussed by Shinji Ikari alone. may actually have some value.

Hakone District [-], evening, light rain.

The simple gray Chevrolet passed through the square and stopped at the cadres' apartment building. Shinji Ikari got out of the car, opened a transparent umbrella, and waved to Kyouya Kenzaki who was sitting in the driver's seat, indicating that he would be sent here. Okay, you can go back and rest.

Letting such a cadre act as his driver, Shinji Ikari felt that spreading the word would aggravate others' impression of him as arrogant and domineering.

He took out the key and opened the door, and a strong aroma floated into his nose. It was probably during the soup session that Shinji Ikari smelled the aroma of katsuobushi flowers.Ayanami Rei, who was on shift today, was preparing dinner in the kitchen, and Katsuragi Misato was also there. She had just finished the work at hand, and was sitting cross-legged in the living room enjoying a cold beer for the first time in a long time.

"You're back? You didn't even say hello. How shameful." Misato Katsuragi sat cross-legged at the main seat, drinking beer and shaking her head.

Shinji Ikari took off his coat and hung it on the hanger. He walked to the dining table and reached out to take away the beer Misato Katsuragi was drinking. "What are you doing?" Misato Katsuragi was surprised and raised her arm to take the beer back, but Ikari was Shinji slapped him on the head mercilessly.

"How many times have I told you to wash your feet after taking off your shoes? Don't you know what it feels like to have those boots you wear that are stuffy and fermented for a day?"

The aroma of soup stock that filled the kitchen was unbearable mixed with the smell of stinky feet.Shinji Ikari drank the remaining beer in one gulp, and then opened the window, it was raining lightly outside.

It seems that I have lived here for a long time without realizing it, and I am still a little reluctant to move out.The apartment over at the First Command Post is ready. I heard it is more luxurious and spacious.Although not all of them have to move, as qualified candidates and cadres, they will definitely move to the new command post.

Opening all the windows, Shinji Ikari turned around and saw Misato Katsuragi still sitting in her seat, raising her left foot and taking a sharp sniff, "It's so rude to say that a beautiful girl in her early 20s has stinky feet! It doesn’t stink, it doesn’t stink at all, I can’t help it, the bathroom is occupied by Asuka now.”

"It's so hot!" The sliding door of the bathroom in the bathroom was suddenly opened from the inside. It was Asuka who was just mentioned. She was staring at Katsuragi Misato with bright eyes, "Why is the water temperature so high? Are you all from the Qihuang Treasure Tree? .”

"Didn't you just rinse it off? Just rinse it off casually. The meal is almost ready." Misato Katsuragi picked her ears.

"Even if you rinse it, it can't be so hot! Fortunately, I took a look at the water temperature and it was already 53 degrees!"

"The one who went in before was Rei-chan. She seems to be very heat-resistant."

"No way out! No way out! No way out!" Asuka took one last look at Shinji Ikari standing in front of the window, snorted coldly, wrapped the edge of the towel tightly, and closed the sliding door again.

Shinji Ikari went to the kitchen to help and ignored them.But basically it’s almost the same.Ayanami Rei held a towel in each hand and brought the stew pot to the dining table, while Ikari Shinji held the dishes.

Misato Katsuragi had just gone to Asuka's dormitory to do a quick rinse, and eagerly took out her beer from the refrigerator before returning to her seat.

"Oh, Rei-chan, did you change the soup? That's great!" Misato Katsuragi raised her eyebrows.

"Well, it's bonito soup." Ayanami Rei untied her apron and hung it in the kitchen. "It's a souvenir given to me by Dr. Akagi. She heard that I was learning to cook recently and was worried that I wouldn't be able to use it, so she came with bonito flakes as a gift. Tool of."

"Ritsuko, she has always cared about you." Misato Katsuragi smiled.

"Everyone cares about me." Ayanami Rei nodded, looking over everyone's body.

"Tch, the taste is obviously very ordinary." Asuka also held the soup plate and murmured in a low voice.

The taste is indeed ordinary, just for ordinary families, but it is a big improvement compared to Ayanami Rei's previous cooking skills.Before, she would only mix a spoonful of miso, wakame, and soft tofu, and finally boil them in boiling water.

"Asuka, do you know that Hayao Miyazaki has a famous saying, you are just an ordinary diner, don't have the illusion that you are a gourmet just because you have the right to evaluate the food. As a guest, you should quietly enjoy the delicious food brought by the host."

"Before I can evaluate whether a dish is delicious or not, I don't need to pick up the pot and be the chef first. This is also Dazai Osamu's famous saying."

"Leaving aside the namelessness, this sentence should be attributed to the Serisian writer Lu Zhishen, right?" Misato Katsuragi raised her eyebrows, "You, a German who is half-hearted about Dong Zhe, should stop talking nonsense! "

"You are all the same. This sentence was obviously said by Zhou Xun." Shinji Ikari added coldly, holding the black dishes in both hands.

Ayanami Rei almost opened her mouth, she wanted to correct her mistake, but in the end she kept her mouth shut.

Otherwise, she quite likes this atmosphere.

The light rain outside the window gradually fell.Ayanami Rei didn't say anything, and sat down at the edge of the dining table, silently watching them bickering and bickering, her heart warming with the boiling stew pot.

As early as two months ago, she didn't know the meaning of survival and could only seek it from NERV.I can't believe that I have been able to live under the same roof with Katsuragi Misato, Ikari Shinji, and Asuka for so long.There were so many people, but it didn't feel crowded at all. From the beginning, I felt as clear as ice and the sky was falling, until later, I felt calm and relaxed after all the changes. It was so smooth.It's really interesting to think about it. People are so familiar with each other. I don't know when you started to get used to her life. There is no special reason, just because we have been together for a long time.
