Chapter 138 The Truth of the World (Bonus Chapter)

"What...are you saying?" Shinji was completely confused.

The gray-haired boy in front of me was truly mysterious.

Even though he had already guessed the other person's identity, he still couldn't see through them.

"nothing."

"But... I'm very happy."

"I'm really happy that Shinji has found his own happiness." Kaworu smiled sincerely, genuinely happy for Shinji.

The more he said this, the more confused Shinji became.

They had absolutely never met before.

Why would someone you've just met say something like that to you?

"Um...can I ask you a question?" Shinji hesitated for a second before asking him.

“Of course, I will answer any questions you have,” Kaworu Nagisa said with a smile.

Shinji looked at him and asked the question that had been on his mind: "Are you human, or an Angel?"

If it is a human being, then it is someone I need to protect.

But if it's an apostle... then it could become an enemy.

Kaworu Nagisa did not answer the question immediately.

Instead, he asked a rhetorical question, saying, "The yes or no option cannot explain this problem."

"If you want to know the answer, then think about this question."

"Are you human, or... Ultraman?"

Human or Ultraman?

Shinji paused for a moment; it was the first time he had ever thought about this question.

Before meeting Mr. Natsuki, I was undoubtedly just a somewhat cowardly human being, but now...

"Both are true." Shinji gave his own answer.

He is a human who wants to protect others, and also an Ultraman who possesses such power.

Hearing Shinji say that, Natsuki smiled with satisfaction.

“Me too,” Kaworu said, looking at him. “I am both human and an apostle.”

He now possesses the instincts of an apostle, as well as the wisdom of a human.

"Then... can I trust you?" Shinji asked.

He hoped they could be companions.

“No matter what, you can trust me, and I trust you too,” Kaworu Nagisa said with a smile.

Shinji smiled and nodded.

He intuitively felt inclined to believe Kaworu Nagisa.

“However, you seem to know a lot of special information,” Natsuki asked Kaworu at this moment.

A time traveler cannot replace someone who already exists. This guy is not a time traveler, but he has so much information.

Could it be because of Adam's soul within him?

“I also know you’re investigating that guy in SEELE, and the Ghost Angel,” Kaworu Nagisa said.

"You mean Zoo Jefferson?"

"Where is he now?" Xia Shu asked.

If we can find out the other person's location from Kaworu, then we've accomplished half the task.

But Kaworu shook his head.

Even if you find his location now, it won't help.

"He hid his true form; those who appeared in public were clones with their own memories."

Hearing him say that, Xia Shu frowned slightly.

This guy is quite cautious.

"What did you mean by the world being beyond your expectations?" Xia Shu asked.

There are just too many oddities in this statement.

Kaworu hesitated for a few seconds when he heard the question.

He was debating whether or not to tell the whole truth.

However, considering that the person in front of him was the one who could truly determine the course of this world, he had nothing left to hide.

With his own power, he can no longer have a significant impact on the world.

“This isn’t the first time I’ve woken up in this world,” Kaworu said, a faint smile on his face. “And each time I wake up in this world, it represents a new possibility.”

He spoke mysteriously.

Xia Shu immediately understood what he meant.

This world exists in cycles of reincarnation.

Each time Kaworu wakes up, it signifies a new cycle.

“But this time, everything is different,” Kaworu said, looking at Shinji.

Everything has completely gone off track; this is a brand new world.

They will no longer complete it, and the world will continue to evolve.

Whether they are time travelers or Ultraman, their arrival has broken this predetermined cycle of reincarnation.

"So, the reason I feel like I've seen you somewhere before is because we really did meet in a previous loop." Shinji also realized.

"This time, it's the last time." There's no need to dwell on the past anymore.

Through countless worlds and countless cycles of reincarnation, Shinji will always reach the final step and face a painful choice.

But the encounter with light shattered all that was preordained, and this was a power that was fully capable of challenging fate.

"I see." Xia Shu nodded thoughtfully.

This place may be small, but things are quite complicated.

A group of humans plus apostles managed to pull off so much.

“However, there are still two guys we haven’t dealt with yet, so it’s not time to relax completely,” Xia Shu said, arms crossed.

This world has transcended the cycle of reincarnation.

However, if the two time travelers are allowed to act recklessly, this world may truly be heading towards its end.

"Let's cheer each other on, Kaworu!" Shinji said to Kaworu with a smile.

Looking at his energetic state, Kaworu really found it hard to associate this boy with Shinji.

Really, so much has changed.

"Yes." He nodded with a smile.

......

The spacious meeting room of the NERV branch in the United States.

Zoo Jefferson sat at his desk, speaking to the several monument-like projections before him: "The Adam container will not have any problems."

"There are still several apostles that have not been eliminated."

"And as they continue to eliminate the Angels, I will also eliminate Ultraman as an obstacle."

Jefferson observed the progress of the world line changes and spoke calmly and rationally.

Sending Kaworu to NERV headquarters to get close to Ultraman was a deliberate act on his part.

He can apply for a ruling if the conditions are met.

From the very beginning, he never intended to go head-to-head with Ultraman.

......

After searching NERV headquarters to no avail, the Ghost Angel decided to proceed with the next step of the plan.

"Adam's embryo has disappeared... We have no choice but to launch a full-scale attack."

"The union of the Apostle and Lilith could also trigger an impact that would kill the vast majority of lives."

Chapter 139 Stupid Shinji

After finishing his morning exercise, Shinji returned to his apartment.

I took out the ingredients from the refrigerator, tied on my apron, and prepared today's bento.

Aside from the day he transferred schools, he had barely been to school. The apostles kept coming one after another, leaving him overwhelmed.

He wasn't really keen on going today, but after hearing Mr. Natsuki say that every moment of youth is worth cherishing, he decided to go anyway.

"...Are you cooking?"

Hearing noises from the living room and kitchen, Asuka, still sleepy in her pajamas, opened her bedroom door and came out, asking Shinji's busy figure.

“Yes, breakfast and lunch.” Shinji said, turning around.

"You have so much energy... Don't you think these things are a hassle?" Asuka pulled out a chair in the living room, sat down, leaned on the table, and looked at Shinji.

"No."

"I feel very fulfilled by all of this." Shinji skillfully placed the starch-coated meat into the pot, controlling the oil temperature perfectly, and the aroma of deep-frying wafted out.

Compared to his previous life, he now feels truly happy.

After his mother reunited with his father, she asked him to come and live with them, but Shinji, considering that his mother's current situation needed to be kept secret, did not move in and continued to stay there, visiting her whenever he had free time.
