Ultraman grunts? Call me Space Policeman outside!

The six-hour training session has ended.

[Dimensional Elimination Beam (Beginner) has been mastered]

[Soon to return to reality]

......

Shinji, lying in bed with his arms still unconsciously in the Specium Ray pose, slowly opened his eyes.

"It's already...morning."

He rubbed his eyes, looking dazed, yawned, and sat up in bed.

"What a...wonderful dream."

"It felt like I really went on an adventure with Takeshi Yagami," Shinji said wistfully, recalling his dream.

The dream was so interesting, and thanks to it, his combat experience also increased considerably.

"By the way, Mr. Natsuki, isn't Mr. Takeshi Yato the one from the dream two dreams ago...?"

"Eh? Mr. Natsuki?"

Shinji looked toward the chair in the room and found that Natsuki was not there. His gaze shifted downwards and he saw a familiar figure lying on the floor, her arms crossed over her chest, her eyes closed, looking very peaceful.

Tired, destroy it.

Now Natsuki wants to know who the real designer of this broken bracelet is, and then she'll expose them.

"Natsuki-sensei..." Shinji called out, wanting to check on Natsuki's condition.

But before he could finish speaking, Xia Shu "stood up" from the ground, head down and feet up.

"Uh......"

Meeting Shinji's strange gaze, Natsuki explained seriously, "It's nothing, I'm just getting blood to flow to my brain, which helps me think."

Shinji nodded blankly.

Do you even have blood and a brain in your current state?

However, he also knew about Ultraman, so there was no need to know so much about it.

"Since you gained something from your dream, that's a good thing."

"Get ready, we're going to NERV headquarters soon."

Natsuki said to Shinji while standing upside down.

He still couldn't bring himself to tell Shinji that the monster he and Eddie were fighting was actually me.

The training lasted for six hours. The first hour or so was spent searching for the factory and destroying the space device, and the rest... was the time for combat.

During training, Megachiras's body was exceptionally sturdy. Even when Ace and Shinji unleashed their ultimate attacks, they failed to kill him. Then, the alternate dimension pulled them back, and the battle continued. Ace continued to release the alternate dimension elimination beam, hitting him again and again, allowing him to successfully regain mastery of the move.

Non-damage skills like the Dimensional Elimination Beam are also very important.

After all, when members of the Space Garrison are on missions, they inevitably encounter strange enemies, and this kind of skill can often be surprisingly effective.

Overall, the result was good, but the process was a bit agonizing.

Chapter 129 Yui Ikari (Bonus Chapter)

The NERV headquarters is located underground in the Third New Tokyo City, Japan.

Inside the monitoring room of the EVA Unit-01 hangar, Gendo Ikari stood in front of the glass, looking at the massive purple and green mecha inside the hangar. His eyes behind his sunglasses were bloodshot, and his face was full of exhaustion.

He hadn't rested for a day and a night, and after learning that Yui Ikari was to be resurrected today, this was all that was on his mind.

"All our previous attempts to rescue her have failed."

"Can we really succeed this time?" Ritsuko Akagi came to the monitoring room, stood behind Gendo Ikari, and looked at Unit-01 as well.

Gendo Ikari did not answer her.

Their gaze remained fixed on Unit-01.

"It seems we can only pray for a miracle," Ritsuko Akagi muttered to herself when he didn't respond.

The hangar side door opened, and Misato Katsuragi and Shinji appeared together.

"You're too slow." Gendo Ikari shifted his gaze from Unit-01 to Shinji, his voice hoarse.

Upon hearing this voice, Shinji looked up.

"Father, are you also... looking forward to seeing Mother?" Shinji saw the bloodshot in Gendo Ikari's eyes.

On the way here, Shinji was already looking forward to seeing his mother.

“Yes.” Gendo Ikari was unusually willing to talk to Shinji. “Everything I did was for Yui, for your mother.”

"Stop dawdling and get started."

"I hope you will keep your promise." These words were spoken to Natsuki.

A golden light appeared in Shinji's eyes.

"Don't worry," Natsuki said, raising her right wrist in preparation for Hikari to operate it remotely.

But he had just infused energy into the crystal of the bracelet.

Then I heard a faint sound.

"Shinji...Shinji..." It was a voice that sounded gentle.

"What is that sound?" Natsuki keenly caught the sound, which seemed to be coming from inside Unit-01.

That's strange. I didn't hear this sound when I piloted Unit-01 last time.

Is that Unit-01 speaking?

Or is it... Yui Ikari, trapped inside Unit-01, speaking?

It seems like they're trying to convey some message to themselves.

"Open the insertion plug of Unit-01. I want to go inside." Natsuki looked up and said to Gendo Ikari in the monitoring room.

Gendo Ikari nodded.

At this moment, he would rather die than enter Unit-01 than see Yui Ikari again.

"Get ready," he said, turning to Ritsuko Akagi.

Ritsuko Akagi nodded and instructed her staff to eject the insertion plug of Unit-01 so that Shinji could sit inside.

......

Within the void.

The ghostly angels observe the apostles sleeping within the Earth from this dimension.

“Strength alone is absolutely not enough.”

"To stop that guy, the only way is probably to use the Dirac Sea of ​​the Night Angels to trap him in the Imaginary Space. Just three minutes will be enough."

"There are other apostles who also want to take this opportunity to snatch Adam's embryo from Gendo Ikari."

"Even if they fight, as long as one of them succeeds, it will be my victory."

......

Below the US NERV branch base.

Zoo Jefferson stood in front of the transparent container filled with nutrient solution, looking at the white-haired boy inside.

"Should I use you first... or... seek help from the system?"

"No matter what, Ultraman should not exist."

He stood in front of the container, his hands behind his back, deep in thought.

......

Inside EVA Unit-01.

"Shinji...Shinji..."

The gentle voice grew clearer and clearer.

Without a doubt, this is the sound emitted by Unit-01.

It was transmitted to Shinji's mind in the form of telepathy.

"Who are you...?" Natsuki responded telepathically as well.

After those words were spoken...

The scene inside Unit-01's cockpit instantly changed, and they found themselves in a pure white mental space.

“You’ve grown up..., Shinji.” A woman with short chestnut hair and an exceptionally beautiful face, wearing a white lab coat, appeared before Natsuki.

She wasn't talking to Natsuki, but to Shinji behind Natsuki.

"You are... Mother!?" Shinji looked at the woman in front of him. He couldn't remember his mother's face anymore, but this strong feeling of wanting to hug her made it clear... she was his mother.

"Mother!" Shinji immediately took a step and ran towards Yui Ikari.

He wanted to embrace her, but he passed right through her body, as if it were just an illusion.

"...Why?" Shinji turned around blankly, looking at Yui's phantom image, his mood plummeting from joy.

Yui Ikari turned around and looked at him with gentle eyes.

"Not yet, Shinji."

"I cannot get out of Unit-01."

Shinji couldn't understand such words at all.

He quickly replied, "Yes, that's fine!"

"Mr. Natsuki is willing to help us!"

"He is a very warm-hearted and kind person, and he also has magical powers. Mr. Natsuki has helped me a lot during this time, and he has also promised to revive my mother!"

At this moment, Shinji is a child who wants to see his mother.
