Ultraman grunts? Call me Space Policeman outside!

"Shinji... thank you for taking care of him." Hearing Shinji's words, Yui Ikari turned to Natsuki and bowed to express her gratitude.

She witnessed both of Shinji's piloting of Unit-01.

However, this only applies to scenes where Shinji is sitting in the cockpit.

Afterwards, she explained to the two of them why she wanted to stay inside Unit-01.

“SEELE’s plan is to make everyone lose their physical form and become a complete individual, but in doing so... people will also lose their ‘self’.”

“I don’t approve of this plan, but I can’t fight against SEELE on my own.”

"So in the experiment of Unit-01, I chose to leave my soul here and give Unit-01 a soul."

"Only in this way can you pilot Unit-01, Shinji, and ultimately gain the power to decide the course of this world."

The experiment conducted on Unit-01 was not an accident at all.

It was only intentional on Ikari's part.

She wanted to get involved herself to stop SEELE's plan and leave the final choice to her son.

If nothing unexpected happens, Shinji will grow through repeated breakdowns. After losing an important piece, SEELE will use Shinji and Unit-01 as the key to becoming a god, allowing Shinji to complete the final Instrumentality ritual.

Gendo Ikari's plan was destined to fail.

This is a woman who is truly orchestrating everything behind the scenes. She does not agree with SEELE's plan. What she wants is to use EVA's technology to enable humanity to achieve true immortality and leave behind proof of its existence in the universe forever.

According to her original plan, Shinji would eventually face two choices: fulfill SEELE's wish to complete the Human Instrumentality Project and make humanity one, or reject SEELE, reject Instrumentality, and let the world return to its original state, while Unit-01, as an eternal existence, would wander forever in the universe.

After hearing these words.

What is all this about?

Why are they all coming up with such complicated plans?

If it were the Shinji of the past, after hearing Yui Ikari say these words, he would definitely be confused and not know how to make a choice.

Shinji Ikari simply stood before Yui Ikari and said firmly, "My mother's plans have nothing to do with me!"

"My choice is to bring my mother back to life, so that she can be by my side as my mother!"

"And Mr. Natsuki and I will definitely crush SEELE's plans!"

Chapter 130 Unit-01 Goes Berserk

“Shinji…” Yui Ikari looked at Shinji with a somewhat surprised expression.

Her son's personality was quite different from what she had expected.

“If I leave here, you won’t be able to pilot Unit-01 anymore,” she said.

It was she who gave her soul to Unit-01, enabling Shinji to pilot Unit-01 into battle; this was the only gift she, as a mother, could leave her son.

It is also Shinji's only weapon to protect himself in the dangers to come.

In addition, Unit-01 is also an alternative plan in SEELE's plan. If Unit-01 is abandoned at this time, SEELE will probably launch an operation against them very soon.

"This world is more dangerous than you think."

"After this, even more powerful Angels will appear." Yui Ikari said earnestly, hoping that Shinji would take her words to heart.

The power of Unit-01 is essential.

As long as her soul remains inside Unit-01, she can protect Shinji indefinitely.

“I’ve said it before, whether it’s an apostle, a Seele, or anything else.”

"I will stop anything that takes away someone's life or their dreams." Shinji's gaze remained firm.

He knew that overthinking and looking back would only cause him to stagnate.

He no longer wanted to confine himself to his inner world.

His experiences during this period have allowed him to find a new way of life, and he likes this version of himself.

Don't dwell on things that are too complicated or profound. No matter what difficulties you face, take action first, and then find a way to save everyone.

Before finding your own true dream, protect the dreams of others first—this is what Mr. Natsuki told himself.

And now, he believes this is his dream.

“This is Shinji’s own choice, and shouldn’t we support him?” Natsuki smiled when she heard Shinji’s determination, and then said to Yui Ikari.

The dreams of youth are the purest and most precious things.

This dream may be distorted or abandoned for various reasons, but now, Natsuki will not let the boy's dream be tarnished.

Otherwise, it will affect his entire life.

“Mr. Natsuki…” Yui Ikari listened to Natsuki’s words and thought of what she saw in the cockpit of Unit-01: Shinji transferred a special energy to Unit-01 and then released a very powerful light wheel.

Her soul consciousness inside Unit-01 wasn't always awake, but she saw it that one time.

"Why should we help... help Shinji?" she asked.

Upon hearing this question, Natsuki smiled slightly and said, "Because... I am Ultraman."

This question can have multiple answers and can be interpreted from various perspectives depending on the viewpoint.

However, Natsuki believes that this one sentence is enough for now.

“Ultraman.” Yui Ikari savored the name.

Then, he glanced at Shinji and nodded with a smile.

"It's a name that makes people feel at ease."

"Then... Mom won't stop you anymore."

"Let me see Shinji's dream too."

After saying these words, Yui Ikari's figure gradually disappeared.

......

Natsuki and Shinji retreated from this pristine white space back into the cockpit of EVA Unit-01.

“Your mother and father have completely different personalities,” Natsuki said, comparing the images of Yui Ikari and Gendo Ikari in her mind.

In terms of love for Shinji, Yui Ikari is far superior to Gendo Ikari.

He initially thought Yui Ikari would be the stern type.

"My mother... gave me a very warm feeling." Shinji's mind was still filled with the image of Yui Ikari.

In any case, he finally saw his mother today and will be able to live with her from now on.

It all... feels like a dream.

"Mr. Natsuki, I'm begging you." Shinji pleaded with Natsuki in his mind.

"Don't worry," Xia Shu replied with a smile.

Energy is infused into the crystal of the bracelet at a special frequency.

Hikari's image appears.

"Oh... this is what you call Unit-01." As soon as it appeared, Hikari examined the structure of Unit-01 from inside the cockpit.

"The combination of organic life and machinery, though somewhat crude, is not without its merits."

"A soul is trapped inside the machine... well, the physical body can be directly restored."

"The key point is that the soul is still there, which is much simpler than the other cases."

Hikari quickly grasped the situation on the ground.

As a top scientist in the universe, his knowledge here is like a game-changer.

"Did you bring life with you?" Natsuki asked.

"I brought it."

“It’s in your bracelet,” Hikari said, pointing to Natsuki’s bracelet.

"This bracelet has this function?" Xia Shu was a little surprised.

“Of course.” Hikari nodded, then tapped his arm a few times, preparing to start remote operation through the connection with the bracelet. “When I reported to the captain, he thought something had happened to you again.”

"Is that so... He hasn't changed at all." Natsuki smiled.

Life solidification technology cannot be used casually. To use this technology to revive a person, it must be reported to the Land of Light and approved by the captain before it can be used.

This is to prevent chaos in the natural cycle of life and death in the universe.

"Alright, I'm about to begin." Hikari's phantom appeared in front of Natsuki, and with a wave of his hand, a bright light appeared in the bracelet, floating in front of them.

Then, under his control, the light further subdivided into countless tiny points of light, extending like threads to every corner of the cockpit and connecting with Unit-01.

At that moment, Unit-01, which had not been activated by NERV, suddenly made a move, opening its mouth and roaring unconsciously, as if it were about to transform into a primal beast.

"What!?"

"What's the situation with Unit-01 now!?" Gendo Ikari, who was in the monitoring room, was shocked by what he saw and quickly turned to Ritsuko Akagi to ask.

"The power cable is not connected. Unit-01...it has activated its internal power!"

"This is... a berserk state!" Ritsuko Akagi stared wide-eyed at Unit-01.

The eyes beneath the restraint armor had turned red, as if they wanted to destroy everything here!

Unit-01 has gone berserk!

"That guy really wasn't trustworthy after all!"

"Quickly, prepare the special phenolic resin!" Gendo Ikari ordered Ritsuko Akagi, instructing her to arrange for people to come over as soon as possible.

Chapter 131 Miracle

Due to confidentiality requirements, there are not many people in the hangar at the moment, and there are not even ordinary technical personnel.

Therefore, when Unit-01 went berserk, the situation could not be brought under control immediately.

While the people outside were in a panic.
