Ultraman grunts? Call me Space Policeman outside!

Chapter 122 Gendo Ikari's mindset underwent a slight change.

The NERV headquarters, the office floor of Gendo Ikari.

"The process was complicated, but I delivered the item." Kaji Ryoji carried a suitcase, stepped over the carpet engraved with mysterious patterns, and came to Gendo Ikari, handing him the item.

"Thank you for your hard work." Gendo Ikari took the suitcase, a rare smile appearing on his lips.

With the embryo of Adam, he possessed the key to the path to godhood.

“Also… there’s one more thing,” Kaji Ryoji suddenly added.

"While I was on the aircraft carrier, I heard a man's voice. At first, I suspected it was someone from SEELE, but during further conversation, I realized it was most likely not from SEELE..."

He relayed the situation to Gendo Ikari.

Upon hearing this, Gendo Ikari frowned.

"Did they know that Adam's embryo was inside... but didn't they directly stop it?"

The other party did not show up or state their position; the only thing that can be used to speculate is their voice, which makes things quite tricky.

"In any case, the item is now in my hands."

"We can proceed with the next step of the plan now."

Gendo Ikari adjusted his sunglasses and spoke to Ryoji Kaji.

“Okay.” Kaji Ryoji nodded, then turned and left.

......

After Kaji Ryoji left, Gendo Ikari opened the briefcase.

Looking at the Adam embryo sealed in resin inside.

"I...I'll see you soon." A nostalgic smile appeared on his face.

What he holds in his hand now is Adam's embryo, a product of SEELE's experiments on Adam's body fifteen years ago.

Adam's original body was controlled by SEELE and self-destructed, triggering a second impact that destroyed the Antarctic continent. However, Adam did not die. SEELE restored Adam's remains to the shape of an embryo and preserved them.

In addition, SEELE also collected the scattered souls and put them into their other containers.

SEELE possessed Adam's soul and created a new body for him, so they didn't pay much attention to this embryo, which allowed Gendo Ikari to find an opportunity to steal it.

Gendo Ikari plans to transplant this thing into his own hands, thus completing the first step towards godhood.

Adam's body was dominated by his own soul, and by forcibly merging it with Lilith's soul vessel, he could become a god who could alter reality.

After becoming a god, the only thing he wanted to do was to resurrect the dead so that he could see his deceased wife.

That's right, all his years of planning and all his efforts were for the sake of seeing his wife again.

Therefore, he was willing to use everyone around him, including his own son.

“Only…” Gendo Ikari glanced deeply at the Adam embryo in the suitcase, stood up, and prepared to merge it with himself.

He knew that the longer the delay went on, the more likely unexpected things would happen.

Just as he was leaving his desk with his things, the office door slowly opened.

A familiar figure came into his line of sight.

"What are you doing here?" Gendo Ikari glanced at the box in his hand, then at Shinji Ikari in front of him, and said in a flat, hoarse voice.

Shinji was followed by a man in a white coat and silver-rimmed glasses; he remembered that the man was Ritsuko Akagi's assistant.

Having just finished fighting the two Angels, he thought Shinji should be resting.

Considering that Shinji might still be useful to him later, he didn't show a bad attitude.

"It seems... you heeded some of the warnings from back then, but not much." Natsuki's voice came from Shinji to Gendo Ikari's ears.

I noticed a faint golden glint in his eyes.

Gendo Ikari's expression turned serious. He realized that the person in front of him was not Shinji.

"What are you planning to do with the things in that box?" Xia Shu asked, looking at the box in his hand.

Gendo Ikari stared at "Shinji," adjusted his sunglasses, and remained calm and composed.

"I have no comment on that."

He has no intention of telling the other party the truth here.

"No comment?" Xia Shu raised an eyebrow at his indifferent expression.

Do you still need to pretend in front of me?

"What's that thing of his for?" Xia Shu asked Albert beside her.

Upon hearing this, Albert's lips curled into a smile.

He patiently explained, "What he's carrying is the embryo of Adam. He plans to transplant this into his own hands as the key to his becoming a god."

The Japanese spoken with a slight British accent sounded particularly clear in the empty office space.

Ikari Yuantang: "?"

Although he was very unwilling to admit it, at this moment, his mindset changed slightly.

Things have developed in a way that far exceeded expectations.

Where did Ritsuko Akagi's assistant, who was under her constant surveillance, get her information from?

Since joining NERV, the other party has not done anything outrageous; they have simply been doing research diligently.

How exactly did the intelligence leak?

Is that you, my blessing?

His first suspicion fell on Kaji Ryoji. It was true that the other party was his spy, but if something happened, the spy would be the first person suspected.

"Do you want to rule this world?" Natsuki asked, looking at Gendo Ikari.

Gendo Ikari's gaze swept back and forth between Shinji and Connie Albert.

After hesitating for two seconds, he finally said, "No, I won't do something so boring."

He also wanted to maintain his high-class image.

Then, Albert spoke again.

"He wants to resurrect his wife."

"Oh~" Natsuki nodded thoughtfully.

Ikari Yuantang: "..."

As a member of the Human Instrumentality Project Committee, as the Commander-in-Chief of the international organization NERV, as the hope for the United Nations in the fight against the Angels, and as a cunning tyrant who could deceive everyone under SEELE's nose, he also had to save face.

He clenched his fists instinctively, his expression turning grim.

His sharp gaze was fixed on Albert.

This guy... knows too much.

Facing Gendo's murderous gaze, Albert took half a step back, then half a step to the left, and put his hands in the pockets of his white coat, successfully standing behind Natsuki.

A faint smile was on his face.

His gaze even carried a hint of provocation.

It seems to be saying: Our old Deng here is much better than you, what are you pretending for?

“I think we can have a good talk,” Natsuki said to Gendo Ikari in a calm tone.

"Don't worry, as long as you cooperate honestly, I won't pry too much into your, um... dark history."

Gendo Ikari stood still.

Looking at the two people who came to my door, I felt a sudden toothache.

Chapter 123 Life Solidification Technology (Bonus Chapter)

"You must be that giant?" Gendo Ikari asked, looking at Natsuki.

He guessed that the giant and Shinji were likely fused together.

“Yes, you can call me Natsuki.” Natsuki nodded in reply.

"What is your purpose?" Gendo Ikari continued to ask.

He couldn't understand this giant, who suddenly appeared on the ground and killed the Third Angel, and then helped Shinji eliminate the subsequent Angels. He couldn't imagine why a being with such great power would do such a thing.

We can only infer that his stance is on the side of humanity.

"Purpose..." Natsuki looked at him and said, "I am a member of the Space Garrison from the M78 Nebula. I came to Earth to investigate the mastermind behind the spacetime anomalies."

"Now, two criminals who are trying to disrupt the balance of your world are hiding on Earth."

There are three transmigrators in the EVA world, but Natsuki did not include Albert when she said this.

"I hope you can help me find these two criminals so that your world can be restored to stability."

"Otherwise, if their plan succeeds, everything you have will be for naught," Xia Shu said earnestly.

This isn't meant to scare anyone; once the time traveler's plan succeeds, this world will be destroyed.

"What...?" Gendo Ikari looked puzzled upon hearing these words.

M78 Nebula... Space Guard... Time Criminals... These things sound so absurd.

Why should I believe you?

Gendo Ikari's thinking is very similar to Shinji's; both believe that there is no trust between people in the world and that there is a deep barrier between them. However, the difference is that the younger Shinji simply did not receive proper guidance, while Gendo Ikari, having lived for so many years, has become completely ingrained in his thinking.

It is true that giants possess great strength, but the veracity of these claims remains to be seen.

He didn't trust Xia Shu, nor did he trust anyone else.

He was solely focused on exploiting others to achieve his own unique plan.

“Dealing with someone like you will inevitably lead to these kinds of problems.” With years of experience, Natsuki understood what kind of person Gendo Ikari was. When it came to discussing cooperation with this guy, all you could talk about was interests.

And it must be an interest that strikes at the very core of the other party's being.
