Having traversed countless realms, can you possibly be as clever as me?

There was no blood, only pure blackness, as if the body had been hollowed out, leaving only an empty shell.

The wound was torn open. The area around the shoulder blade was now a huge hole, the walls of which were covered in grayish-brown, necrotic tissue, with several strands of contaminated, grayish-black material dangling from the edges and scattered on the ground.

The body was covered with surgical scars: torn flesh, ripped open organs, severed nerves, and twitching blood vessels.

Its other half of its body is relatively intact, allowing a glimpse of its original appearance. Its skin is deathly pale from blood loss, and its brown eyes still faintly glow. The one eye that remains open stares fixedly at the ceiling, its pupil already dilated, a dried tear trail hanging from the corner of its eye—beautiful yet cruelly terrifying.

The repeated words came from His mouth, filled with pain and sorrow.

Save...you...save...humanity.

Save...Earth!

[Release...me...Save...you...yourselves]

Don't wait until...destruction.

He...has no... mercy!

He will... bring... life.

The imprisoned 'angel' was like a broken answering machine, constantly emitting painful pleas and chilling warnings.

"Who exactly is He? And where do you come from?"

In the center of the scientists, who were lined up and whispering amongst themselves, came an old man—or rather, was carried there on a huge, hoverboard-like vehicle—and asked in a low voice.

He is a member of the SEELE Council of Five, representing the United States, Amschel Bauer.

Upon closer inspection, the enormous structure was not merely a vehicle, but a sophisticated machine. Numerous tubes and life support devices protruded from the machine, slowly injecting life-sustaining medication into Amsher's body with each trembling breath.

I... am... an envoy.

I...come from...the light!

You...are about to... perish...I...He...and I...are not the same!

The 'angel' spoke haltingly, the words punctuated by the strange sounds of her open trachea.

Even though they suffered so much, the 'angel' showed no resentment towards them. Instead, she expressed genuine sorrow and pleading.

But Amsher remained unmoved; the conversation was merely a distraction, and he simply chatted with the scientists around him.

After confirming that the fusion of the angel's flesh and blood with the LCL solution had reached the ideal level and that it could achieve a balanced compatibility between Adam-type apostle cells and human genes, Amsher's decaying, withered body slowly straightened up.

He wanted to live.

Even though he has lived for nearly three hundred years, he still wants to live!

Amsher Bauer was born in 1744 and was a German Jew. But in the general public's world, he has a much more prominent name.

Maye Amslow Rothschild

He is the founder of the Rothschild family, who seem omnipotent in the prevailing conspiracy theories.

He should have died more than two hundred years ago, but because of his abilities and identity, he was eventually chosen by SEELE to become one of them, and was therefore granted the technology to extend his life!

SEELE's technology doesn't just come from the Dead Sea Scrolls found in 1947; those are merely illusions and smokescreens. Their heritage comes from the much older Zionian era.

The contract with Lilith was not just empty words. It was because SEELE possessed technology that ordinary people could not have that she became a shadow over human history and, with the help of the Second Impact, became the master of the world!

However, no matter how noble or important a person may be, they cannot escape the erosion of time. Even someone like Amsher, who has become a member of the SEELE seat, has already reached the limit of his theoretical lifespan. Even with the help of machines and the soup of life to prolong his life, he cannot continue any longer.

All living beings fear death. No matter how eloquently they speak, the most genuine reaction a person can have is in the moment before death arrives.

The old people at SEELE keep saying they're doing it for humanity, for Instrumentality, but aren't they choosing this path because they don't want to die? Or rather, having already grasped the mysteries of the soul and the truth about humanity, they're even less willing to accept dying meaninglessly like other ordinary people!

I want to complete the story, I want to return to Lilith, I want to evolve from a tiny human being into a greater being!

The core of the Human Instrumentality Project has always revolved around the elderly who do not want to die. Mortals who refuse to die are the most evil beings in this world!

But—the plan itself will not go as smoothly as the elderly people hope.

The injection of Unit-01's soul was part of the plan that was altered, but before that, during the Second Impact, they encountered another unexpected event.

On that day, as they were waking Adam in an attempt to trigger the Second Impact—an unexpected visitor fell from the sky.

They are 'messengers' from beyond the heavens, like Lilith and Adam, so they are also called angels.

This colossal being, like Adam, seemingly formed from pure radiance, attempts to prevent the First Apostle Adam from reversing the AT stance and destroying Earth's ecosystem. He pleads for humanity's help, and SEELE's choice is—

Their N2 bombs were aimed at the moment when the other side was wrestling with Adam, trying to suppress his anti-AT stance, and they launched an attack from behind.

The N2 bomb itself was not enough to harm the opponent, but in the standoff between Adam and Adam, which was in opposition to AT, such an attack directly broke the balance between them. In addition, his condition seemed to be very bad, making him the first target to bear the impact of Adam's self-destruction!

Even so, this special angel did not die. Instead, they retrieved it when they picked up Adam, who had transformed into an embryo.

He fell into a coma due to the impact of Adam, and interestingly, he took on a human form.

No, to be precise, he should be said to have coexisted with a human who was originally going to die in Antarctica.

If he hadn't done that, he might have been able to escape, but he chose to connect with this person's life at that moment. The angelic presence miraculously entered the tiny human body, sustaining its life. But at the same time, it became exceptionally weak.

So they captured this person and brought him here to begin their research.

He was the one who was deceived by SEELE and who led the experiments and awakening program on Adam, Dr. Takumi Katsuragi.

The path to godhood requires endless killing! :262. Spoilers and SEELE's Ambition

Misato Katsuragi didn't know if she was crazy or what, but she actually set off for the church at around 4 a.m.

She never expected that Shinji Ikari would actually still be praying in the church at 4 a.m.

Have you ever seen Tokyo-3 at 4 AM? Well, Misato Katsuragi saw it today!

"Shinji-kun, don't you ever sleep...?" Misato Katsuragi, sitting in the confessional, couldn't help but marvel at Shinji Ikari's sleep schedule.

After all, most of his peers at that time were still struggling with their beds and blankets!

“If you maintain a healthy lifestyle, sleep is never a problem,” Shinji Ikari said softly from the other side of the confessional, maintaining a polite smile.

"Alright, Ms. Misato, is there anything you'd like to talk about?"

Misato Katsuragi was silent for a moment, then suddenly said softly.

"Shinji...Does Father think I'm a promiscuous woman? After all, I sent that postcard at the beginning."

375

Give you. "

Having said that, without waiting for Shinji's reply, Misato Katsuragi continued with a self-deprecating remark.

Since she said that, it means she believes herself to be a promiscuous woman.

She began to recount her wild years in college. Although she didn't do anything promiscuous, she often spent a week with her ex-boyfriend in bed doing nothing but one thing.

This must be the most unrestrained moment for a woman.

Although she only has one boyfriend.

Like a floodgate opened, Misato Katsuragi recounted her university days, talking about the three years she lost her voice, and how she became incredibly talkative after those three years, as if making up for the loss of those three years, and how her personality became unusually cheerful and optimistic.

Finally, she talked about the man she used to hate.

"I was abandoned by my father when I was young and lived with my mother. Before I was old enough to understand, I always thought it was because I hadn't done enough. But after I grew up, I hated my father for giving me a sad mother, a broken family, and a lonely and withdrawn heart..."

Misato Katsuragi finished speaking these words slowly and deliberately in a suppressed voice.

"But in the end, it was he who gave me the chance to live..."

Shinji Ikari listened quietly to Misato Katsuragi's story; it was an experience he had never had before in his memory.

"So I actually envy Shinji. He has the same experience as me, but he doesn't complain about his fate at all." Misato Katsuragi looked at Shinji Ikari with envy. This boy, who should have shared the same plight as her, had grown up to be more like a proper adult than she had.

I'm so envious and jealous!

"I can't offer you any comfort, Misato," Shinji Ikari sighed, his voice low and complex.

"After all, advice from a fourteen-year-old is worthless. But my Lord asked me to pass on a message to you—no one can be your father, whether it's your ex-boyfriend or a boy fifteen years younger than you."

Misato Katsuragi froze for a moment, then her face instantly turned as red as a ripe tomato. She jumped to her feet, speechless for a long time. She wanted to refute something, but was too ashamed to utter a word.

Being called out as having a father complex isn't the most shameful thing!

The most shameful thing is that not only are people saying I have an Oedipus complex, but the person I'm in love with is someone who is fifteen years younger than me!

Shinji Ikari is a boy who could be my father! Saying something like that would be the end of my life!

"Also, Mr. Kaji, please stop trying to eavesdrop. If you have any questions, just ask them directly."

Suddenly, Shinji Ikari looked towards the church door and at the triple spy who had followed Misato Katsuragi and was hiding, trying to eavesdrop on something.

"Kashi, you've been stalking me!!!" Katsuragi Misato glared angrily at the man who always wore that roguish smile.

"Haha, don't put it so harshly, Misato. I just saw you speeding on the street late at night and followed you out of curiosity."

Kaji Ryoji, a triple agent who worked for NERV, SEELE, and several opposition governments within the United Nations, stepped forward with his hands raised and said nonchalantly...

"I didn't hear anything. Since you're here, I'll treat you both to breakfast—"

"I can tell you all the truth you want to know."

Shinji Ikari stared at Ryoji Kaji, who was trying to hide his true feelings with laughter, and suddenly said...

"The truth about the Second Impact that you want to know, and the secrets behind the Angels and EVA."

This abrupt turn of events stunned Kaji Ryoji. He subconsciously tried to maintain his carefree facade by raising the corners of his mouth, but stopped himself under the gaze of Shinji Ikari, who resembled his father.

"...Then where did the truth about Shinji come from?" Kaji Ryoji put away his playful demeanor and asked seriously.

"A message from my lord, and he has returned!" Shinji Ikari's face beamed with a relieved smile.

Then I took out my glasses and put them on.

Tsugumi has logged in and immediately logged into Shinji Ikari's account.

“That’s right, because I’ve lost my patience.” Tsugumi looked with a pleased smile at Kaji Ryoji, whose face was filled with horror, and Katsuragi Misato, who was at a loss for what to do.

"Although I don't know what you've found out that I don't, what I do know is definitely something you don't know."

"Haha, let's begin the fun spoiler segment!"

Tsugumi really had run out of patience, or rather, he didn't want to play any farming-related games anymore.

The faith has been confirmed, the seeds have been sown, and the enemy has been identified.

The next step is to bring the play to its climax!
