"To find them, we must start from this point."

"For example, some people reveal information they shouldn't know, making you feel like you can't understand them."

"Or perhaps they have stockpiled a large amount of armed forces in advance, possessing the potential to overthrow the world."

"In short, their most prominent characteristic is that they have access to a vast amount of intelligence and their motive is to overthrow a world."

Natsuki recalled the time traveler she had encountered in the previous world and spoke to Gendo Ikari.

Gendo Ikari immediately became a suspect.

This guy may be a bit abstract, but he's really capable.

"According to you, the two people I find suspicious recently are Chairman Kiru of the Human Instrumentality Project Committee and Zoo Jefferson of the Human Instrumentality Project Committee."

"The former is a member of SEELE, knows all the history of this world, knows information about Adam and Lilith, and has lived for countless years."

"The latter is someone who recently joined the Human Instrumentality Project Committee. He is quite capable and is favored by SEELE. In addition... he knows more about you, or rather, about Ultraman, than I do, and he was the first to suggest calling you Ultraman."

Upon hearing this, Xia Shu also began to doubt the latter.

It might be a coincidence that he came up with the name Ultraman, but it's still worth confirming with this guy face-to-face.

"In addition, a rather strange phenomenon also occurred on the side of the Apostles." Gendo Ikari recalled the changes in the Dead Sea Scrolls. "The Dead Sea Scrolls, which originally only recorded eighteen Apostles, added an Apostle that did not exist."

"The nineteenth apostle, the Ghost Angel, is currently judged to possess the ability to possess other apostles."

Gendo Ikari has been in this position for so many years, and he has a great deal of intelligence.

After briefly checking with Natsuki.

That should be enough to confirm the identities of the two time travelers.

“No doubt about it, Zoo Jefferson and the Ghost Angel.” Albert, standing behind Natsuki, pushed up his glasses and affirmed.

Their system alters their identities when they enter a mission world, and even their physical structure when they are of a different race.

However, it will not replace people who already exist in a world.

Speaker Keel was a pre-existing figure, while Jefferson, who recently joined the Human Instrumentality Project Committee, is more likely to be involved.

“The spectral angels who are apostles are more difficult to deal with, but this Jefferson... do you have a way to pinpoint his location?” Natsuki asked Gendo Ikari.

The apostles are harder to find, but humans are a different story.

As long as they don't live in a primitive tribe, they'll be found eventually.

"There is a way, but it will take a few days."

“I will send people to infiltrate over there,” Gendo Ikari said.

“Okay.” Xia Shu nodded.

One problem can be solved, but as for the other... we'll have to wait for the other party to slip up.

The missions of time travelers are all time-limited, but his was not.

Even if you wait passively for them to come out, they will eventually show up on their own.

This time, he not only wants to capture the two time travelers, but also find clues about the mastermind behind it all.

A bunch of cowards, they'll all be locked up in a cosmic prison sooner or later.

......

While they were checking each other's information.

The doors to the office floor slowly opened.

Professor Fuyutsuki, with his gray hair, walked in, and upon seeing Yui Ikari, he couldn't hide his excitement.

"But...it really is true..." He was genuinely happy to see his outstanding student again.

"Teacher Fuyutsuki, it's been a long time." Yui Ikari smiled and nodded at him.

Professor Fuyutsuki is a staunch partner of Gendo Ikari, and their ultimate goal is to revive Yui Ikari.

Now that he saw Yui Ikari appear before him again, he finally felt at ease.

"How's it going with the committee in Fuyutsuki?" Gendo Ikari asked.

Previously, the Human Instrumentality Project Committee wanted to hold a meeting with him, but he wanted to see Yui Ikari resurrected with his own eyes, so he had Professor Fuyutsuki attend the meeting in his place.

He no longer cared about SEELE's expression; all he wanted to see was Yui Ikari.

“They’re really angry,” Professor Fuyutsuki said, adding that Gendo Ikari’s absence had greatly angered the supervisors.

They felt that Gendo Ikari didn't take them seriously.

"It doesn't matter."

"Any other news?" Gendo Ikari had stopped pretending and was too lazy to engage in any pretense with those guys.

“Yes, and it’s quite important news.” Professor Fuyutsuki’s gaze became more serious. “They are preparing to send the Fifth Child to headquarters ahead of schedule.”

"I suspect that on one hand, they are monitoring our actions, and on the other hand... they are probably using it as a means to threaten us."

Chapter 133 Shinji's Confidence

"The Fifth Child... Kaworu Nagisa?" Upon hearing this name, Albert thought of a white-haired boy.

"You know him?" Professor Fuyutsuki looked at Albert with some surprise.

How could Ritsuko Akagi's assistant know about the Fifth Child?

"I suppose so. You should know better than I do," Albert said, looking at Professor Fuyutsuki and Gendo Ikari with a half-smile.

Rather than saying he was Ritsuko Akagi's assistant, it would be more accurate to say he was Natsuki's assistant.

"The seventeenth apostle, a free angel possessing part of Adam's soul and a human body."

After Sele separated Adam's body and soul, he used Adam's soul to create this artificial apostle, which was Sele's trump card.

“Sending him here at this point in time means that SEELE is getting restless, or rather… the person hiding among them is getting restless,” Albert analyzed.

According to the normal course of events, Kaworu Nagisa would only appear after the Sixteenth Angel has been defeated, but now not even half of the Angels have been defeated.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. In a battle between EVA and the Angels, an Ultraman suddenly appears, and then it's an elimination tournament. Anyone would be anxious.

"What are you planning to do? Are you going to turn against SEELE right now?" Gendo Ikari asked Natsuki in a hoarse voice.

After successfully reuniting with his wife, Xia Shu's status in his eyes had been greatly elevated, and it was also true that she possessed the strongest combat power.

If Natsuki wants to start a war now, he will find a way to cooperate.

After all, both SEELE and the Apostles are obstacles they will have to overcome sooner or later.

“I will not start a war to achieve my goals,” Natsuki said, shaking his head. “Although I will take extreme measures if necessary, I will not let innocent lives be sacrificed because of me.”

If we choose to wage war directly against SEELE at this time, causing an internal war among humanity, it will inevitably lead to bloodshed.

He knew clearly that he was not a god and could not protect everyone at the same time.

“Although SEELE may be targeting us, they also need us to eliminate the Apostles. At least for now, both sides share the same goal of eliminating the Apostles,” Professor Fuyutsuki said. SEELE secretly controls all the countries, and turning against them now would mean making an enemy of the whole world.

For SEELE to realize the Human Instrumentality Project, the first condition of the ritual is to first eliminate all the Apostles other than humans, according to the prophecies of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

They had many preparatory methods, but regardless of which method they used, the apostles had to be eliminated first.

"The matter of the Fifth Child can be put on hold for now, but the news of Yui's resurrection must absolutely not reach SEELE," Professor Fuyutsuki said, glancing at Yui.

"The fact that Yui's soul left Unit-01 is tantamount to destroying one of the key aspects of their plan to complete it."

“I know,” Gendo Ikari nodded.

"As long as you live with me, I will keep everything a secret."

Professor Fuyutsuki nodded after listening.

"In addition, Unit 3 will also be transported from the US branch to headquarters, along with the Fifth Child," he added.

"Are we just abandoning the Fourth Child?" Albert realized this after hearing this.

Unit-03 was originally intended for the fourth Child to pilot, and the candidate had already been chosen.

It seems the time travelers over there are really in a hurry to change their minds.

However, this fifth chosen one, the Angel of Freedom, is not an obedient being, and being sent here does not necessarily mean he can complete their mission.

“That’s strange…” Albert’s puzzled voice reached Natsuki’s ears.

"What do you mean?" Natsuki asked.

“Sending the Angel of Freedom over here now won’t really do much good. After all, even if he goes all out, he probably won’t last more than a few moves against you…” Albert told Natsuki his guess and his understanding of the Angel of Freedom.

“This move… I’m a little confused about what he’s trying to do,” Albert said, frowning.

However, his intuition told him that perhaps nothing good would come of it.

"It's alright. Once his location is exposed, he won't be able to cause any more trouble." Xia Shu wasn't too concerned about this; it was relatively easy to resolve.

"Om - hum -"

A piercing alarm sounded.

"This alarm...is it an Apostle?" Professor Fuyutsuki asked, squinting as he heard the familiar voice.

“It seems it’s not just the guys on SEELE’s side who’s in a hurry; even the Apostles are starting to get anxious,” Albert said, adjusting his glasses.

Of all the transmigrators in this world, he's probably the only one who isn't in a hurry.

"Prepare for battle."

"Eliminate the Angels first." Gendo Ikari stood up from his chair and walked towards the elevator in the office building. He said to Professor Fuyutsuki, "Put Unit 2 and Unit 0 into standby mode."

"And me?" Shinji asked, having regained control of his body.

He also wanted to join the fight.

"You don't need to intervene unless it's absolutely necessary," Gendo Ikari said before entering the elevator.

Shinji hesitated for a moment, but he understood Gendo Ikari's choice.

His transformation lasts only three minutes, and although the apostles are no match for him, they are very likely to reappear after his battle ends.

"He really does look like a leader now," Yui Ikari said with a slight smile as she looked at everything.
