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

"It's too late, delaying is not my style! Besides—I feel it, an angel is guiding me!"

In the command room, Asuka's sudden outburst of madness left everyone looking at each other in bewilderment. How come this perfectly normal German girl suddenly turned into a charlatan?

Without saying a word, Asuka pulled the cable, rolled to dodge the laser sweeping towards her, and pulled the trigger on the Raikou.

EVA unleashed a barrage of electromagnetic projectiles from her rifle in front of Raiden, which were all blocked by the AT field erected amidst the ripples.

So—is this the only opportunity to defeat this apostle?

According to data from the command center, Asuka has discovered the weakness of the Rai-Angel. Its AT field isn't particularly strong, even estimated to be weaker than the Sui-Angel's. However, it's still powerful enough to withstand all the ranged weapons used by the EVAs. While weapons like the N2 mines can cause damage, they simply won't get close enough to withstand the relentless barrage of lasers.

This is a powerful turret apostle that trades extremely low mobility and non-existent close-combat capabilities for superior long-range combat efficiency.

There are only two ways to defeat it: one is overwhelming long-range firepower, and the other is—

Destroy its core the moment it fires!

It was extremely difficult, almost impossible, but Asuka was very confident at that moment.

The angels are with me!

It felt as if there was someone beside her, holding her hand, cheering her on in her heart, and giving her unparalleled confidence.

She decisively cut the cable behind her, and the countdown of 300 seconds began immediately! Meanwhile, the Angel of Thunder had already drawn the attention of Unit 2 and began aiming its beam at her!

"Fire positron rifles, location B23!"

Seeing that Asuka was determined to fight, Misato Katsuragi didn't waste any words and immediately ordered the positron rifles to be fired.

As Asuka dodging the attacks of the Thunder Angel, she felt as if she had awakened some special power; she could predict the trajectory of all the Thunder Angel's attacks as if she could foresee the future.

Having dodged several attacks in succession, Asuka felt her vanity greatly satisfied amidst the gasps of amazement from everyone in the command room, and she mentally shouted...

"Did you see that?"

379

"Mr. Angel, I am the child you should love the most!"

"I saw it."

Tsugumi's voice rang in Asuka's ears, and the girl immediately perked up, her surprise and delight greatly increasing her desire to perform.

"Watch closely, this is my shining moment!"

The positron rifle beside him was launched in an instant. Unit 2 dodged the incoming laser with a graceful backflip and caught the rifle in mid-air!

There are only fifty seconds left before Unit 2 reaches its activity limit!

Can it be done? Absolutely!

The sky cleared, the rain stopped, and Asuka, feeling confident in herself, was preoccupied with showing off in front of Tsugumi, and then naturally—

She messed up.

Despite several attacks from the Thunder Angel, Asuka failed to land a hit. She either struck other parts of the opponent's body, or her attacks missed due to the opponent's extremely fast transformation speed, and more often than not, the timing was wrong, and she hit the AT field directly!

The positron rifle had only one round of ammunition left, and Unit 2's operational limit was reduced to just twenty seconds.

"Damn it!" Asuka cursed, watching the last twenty seconds of the countdown. She began to feel anxious, that familiar fear of becoming useless again surged into her heart.

"Asuka. Hold your breath, I will guide you on the right path."

Tsugumi's voice reassured Asuka. She took a deep breath, and for a moment, she felt something being infused into her soul and spirit.

At that moment, Asuka felt a jolt of electricity run through her head, and time seemed to slow down incredibly. The premonition she had felt earlier was amplified to its limit!

Time, I saw time!

In an almost infinitely reduced sensory time, she watched as the Thunder Angel opened its body and completed a complex and rapid transformation in an extremely short 0.01 seconds. Its sapphire-like body cracked, spliced, and changed.

In that instant, her eyes were fixed on the crimson core, which was insignificant compared to the enormous body of the Thunder Angel!

Wait, wait, wait a little longer—

Just before the ultimate blue beam of light was fully condensed at the core, and sensing the impending moment of life and death, Asuka immediately pulled the trigger!

The sky-blue beam of light and the dark yellow beam of positrons crossed paths in an instant!

The Thunder Angel's attack narrowly missed Unit 2's head, instantly piercing and dissolving a mountain behind Unit 2!

The beam of light fired from the positron rifle struck the core of the Thunder Angel!

The Thunder Angel's body contracted instantly, its jewel-like structure rapidly deforming, and then, with a sharp sound like a mournful cry, a large amount of scarlet blood gushed out.

The next moment, the tombstone of the Light Cross rose up on the corpse of the Thunder Angel!

Won! ! !

Looking at the tombstone of the fallen Angel, Asuka breathed a sigh of relief in the pilot's seat, panting heavily. At this moment, Unit-02 also reached its energy limit.

"I...I won..." Asuka seemed to be confirming this fact. After being certain that she had single-handedly killed an Angel, a huge, fulfilling joy and happiness filled her heart in an instant.

"Mr. Angel, I did it! I'm your best child!!!"

Asuka looked at the pitch-black cockpit and shouted excitedly, like a child asking for candy.

"You did very well, child, you're amazing." Tsurugi's light voice faded into the distance, but it was the best encouragement for her.

Feeling even more motivated, Asuka clenched her fist and decisively ejected from Unit-02, running all the way to the insertion plug from which Unit-00 had been ejected.

"Hey, top student, did you see that? I'm the best EVA pilot!"

Full of confidence, Asuka opened the external switch of the insertion plug, looked at Rei Ayanami who was standing there dumbfounded inside, and laughed triumphantly.

Looking at Asuka like this, Rei Ayanami blinked, and a beautiful smile gradually bloomed on her face. Then...

"Daughter!" Rei Ayanami rushed over excitedly.

"Quack! You're not my mom! Don't come any closer!!!"

Asuka screamed in terror as Rei Ayanami lunged at her and pressed herself against her.

On the road to godhood, you must kill, kill, kill! :265. Asuka, so you're Wako-kun's junior!

Among their followers and messengers, if Shinji Ikari possesses perfect synchronization with Unit-01 and powerful application of the AT Field, then Asuka possesses exceptional operational skills.

In short, one is a numerical monster, and the other is a control monster.

In the end, Shinji Ikari was undoubtedly more to Tsugumi's liking and needs. His body was able to accommodate the magically modified body bestowed by Tsugumi, after all, Tsugumi herself was someone who loved playing with numbers.

Therefore, what he gave Asuka was the characteristics of a new human that matched her traits.

He was well aware that Asuka harbored a fatherly affection for him, but no matter what, his manipulation of her could not be considered despicable.

After all, he wasn't just making empty promises. He had already shown Asuka her mother, reunited them, and would keep his promise to bring Asuka's mother back to life after completing his mission in this world.

As for Asuka's usefulness? Well, one more or one less won't make a difference!

Aside from having a personality somewhat like a junior student, she's a really nice kid!

Hiss~~~ Character number two, red mecha, yellow (brown) hair, tsundere personality, father (mother) fixation, Newtype.

Asuka, you're still Char Aznable!

"How come I never noticed that Rei Ayanami actually has a motherly side?"

As Tsugumi was collecting the soul from Xiao Lei's corpse, she watched with a wicked grin as Rei Ayanami lay on top of Asuka's body, her eyes gleaming as she frantically tried to tear off her tight-fitting pilot suit.

Ha! You kept claiming fathers randomly, and now people are claiming daughters for you!

The emotionless goddess Rei Ayanami has been taken offline, and now appears—Rei Ayanami Fujina!

"Waaah! Stay away from me! You're not my mom!!!"

Originally, Asuka was very happy and proud to have defeated the Thunder Angel and successfully proven herself. She ran to Rei Ayanami, the top student who also got in through connections, to show off.

Who knows what got into her head? Her first reaction upon seeing her was to rush over and hug her tightly, refusing to let go.

"Xiangxiang, my daughter, I love it!" Rei Ayanami hugged Asuka's slender waist, burying her face in Asuka's chest and breathing heavily.

"My daughter smells wonderful."

"Quack! You don't know anything! You're not my mother! Let me go!!!" Asuka screamed and clung to the other person, her voice carrying far and wide.

Tsugumi watched the amusement from the sidelines with great enjoyment, whether it was watching the pretty little girl or Asuka getting her comeuppance, it was truly a delightful experience.

Tsugumi doesn't know what the original goddess's mental journey was like. It might be the result of Tsugumi awakening her memories and causing her to merge with herself. But in any case, she has now signed a contract with Tsugumi to sell herself.

The soul of the Second Apostle, Lilith, has already belonged to Tsurugi, and he can extinguish the flame of Lilith's soul at any time if he so desires.

Now even SEELE's final completion condition has been seized by Tsugumi, and he refuses to believe that they can still turn the tide!

but

"Uneasy, what does that mean?" Tsurugi tilted her head, muttering to herself with some confusion.

Whether it was Kaji or Rei Ayanami—or rather, Lilith—it made him feel that something troublesome might have happened in this world that he was unaware of.

But he just couldn't find it, just like he couldn't find the souls of those old guys from SEELE and Kaworu no matter what he tried.

After some thought, I decided to consider overly complex issues. And compared to...
