Chapter 242: Creating a World with Yui Ikari
Commander's Office.
Ikari Gendō was browsing the document in his hand.
This is the detailed data newly detected on Unit-01 after it devoured the Angel Core.
The people above were naturally interested in this document and kept urging him to submit a copy. But if he reported the real data, it would be a long time before Unit-01 was unfrozen.
Next goal.
It is to unfreeze Unit-01.
The key to Ikari Gendō's plan is Unit-01. His plan is actually quite simple. He uses Seele's Human Completion Plan to lay eggs - to become the god of the new world with a human body. This is his goal. If the freeze is not lifted, Ikari Gendō's plan will be stranded.
"We need to find a reason to unfreeze Unit-01," he said softly.
"Ikari, if you do this, Seele will definitely hold you accountable again." Fuyutsuki Kozo, who stood with his hands behind his back, frowned and said, "They didn't get any valuable information from me. I'm afraid they will choose someone else this time."
"It's ok."
Ikari Gendou said calmly.
Just accountability.
There are not many apostles left.
Even if he was held accountable, it was impossible to change the commander at this critical moment and remove him. Ikari Gendō knew this very well. Of course, once the apostles were all annihilated, he would probably be "liquidated" immediately. At present, the most important thing was to unfreeze Unit-01... and the person who was to be held accountable had already been prepared.
Ikari Gendo thought to himself.
He put down the document concerning Unit-01's data.
There were still a few documents to be processed. He picked up the next document and looked thoughtful. Because this document was about the pilot of Unit-01, Shinji Ikari, reporting that there might be a new Angel on the moon. That was after the 14th Angel was annihilated. It was during the battle with the 14th Angel that Unit-01 devoured its Angel Core.
Although Ritsuko Akagi submitted an application for investigation, Gendō Ikari did not report the document but concealed it.
Apostle on the Moon...
Is it possible to sense such a thing?
Ikari Gendo recalled the secret information about the lunar base and frowned. The Angel on the moon was the seventeenth Angel, created by humans, and it was not yet time for Him to appear. Shinji obviously couldn't have known in advance, so he could only have sensed His presence when he was driving Unit-01.
really.
There are many things about the apostles that humans do not understand.
After processing several more documents, including the daily monitoring of the drivers submitted by the Intelligence Department, it was finally time to rest. As an assistant, Fuyutsuki Kozo nodded at him, and the old man walked out of the office. Soon, the staff of the headquarters cafeteria knocked on the door.
After getting permission to come in, the staff brought in the food and then bowed and left.
Ikari Gendo was eating dinner alone.
His eyes casually swept across the opposite side.
A few months ago, Ayanami Rei was sitting across from the dining table. She was a girl with blue hair and red eyes. She would take medicine as food. But now there is no one there. If she didn't need medicine to maintain her health, I'm afraid I wouldn't see her for three days or two.
Korea……
All she had eyes for was Shinji.
Although she would greet him when she saw him in daily life, it was a world of difference compared to Shinji. She treated Shinji like a white dodder, always sticking to him. Can an apostle understand human emotions? Although it was not actually an apostle, but Lilith, the origin of mankind, who was called an apostle just for convenience.
He borrowed human flesh and was born into this world.
Ikari Gendō treated her so well because she looked like his deceased wife.
but.
After all, she is not a wife, just a clone.
Ikari Gendo clearly realized that he had only treated her as a substitute in the past and infused her with some unnecessary emotions. Moreover, she and Shinji fell in love quickly, which was a forbidden and incestuous love.
Just thinking about it.
Ikari Gendo felt mixed emotions.
It has been a long time since he has been so silent... Looking at the daily monitoring reports on the pilots, even the pilot of Unit 2 has fallen in love with Shinji.
——Was I so fickle when I was young?Ikari Gendo couldn't help but doubt himself. It is said that a son's personality will be like his father's. He originally thought that Shinji's personality would be a little cowardly and lacking in love - this was a microcosm of his past youth, but after observing for several months, Shinji showed no signs of this at all.
But that doesn't matter anymore.
After the completion of the Human Instrumentality Project, everything will become a bubble-like illusion, and only God can continue to survive in the world after the Third Impact.
Yes.
…god.
After dinner.
Ikari Gendō took off the white glove on his right hand.
No matter how hot the weather was, he would always wear gloves and was unwilling to take them off even when he was sweating. This was not because he wanted to be cool, but because the thing attached to the palm of his right hand was a big secret.
He took off his glove and looked at the palm of his right hand. Anyone who saw it would be surprised. The flesh and blood there was occupied by a monster, showing an eroded gray color, which was a bit scary. The monster looked like a deformed young seahorse, with big eyes. Its body was bent and curled up in the palm of his hand, which looked a bit hideous. This was Adam's embryo.
Fifteen years ago.
After the Second Impact, the First Angel Adam was restored to an embryo and recovered by humans. In the past fifteen years, he has been studied by scientists in the laboratory. A few months ago, he came into the hands of Gendō Ikari through Ryoji Kaji - this is also the reason why Ryoji Kaji was able to conduct espionage activities in the headquarters.
When faced with Adam's embryo, Ikari Gendō performed the transplant without hesitation, fusing the embryo with his right hand.
That's right.
The fruit of wisdom is combined with the fruit of life.
Ikari Gendo's current situation is very similar to that of Unit-01, the only thing missing is a deification ceremony.
His body no longer ages, and his exhausted spirit can recover with a short sleep. Even if his body is injured, it can heal quickly. Broken bones, serious injuries... These injuries that humans need hundreds of days to recover from can be healed in just a few seconds for Gendo Ikari. He has not tested his limits, but he thinks that even if there is a big hole in his head, he can still survive - as long as his right hand is not lost.
It is hard to imagine the extent of God’s power once he truly becomes a God.
Could it be omniscient and omnipotent?No one knows what kind of power the real God will have.
"almost……"
Ikari Gendou muttered to himself.
He only needs to fuse the Adam embryo with Lilith, and then use Unit-01 to complete the ritual, and he can become a god.
Become a god, and then you will be able to reunite with your wife.
During the experimental accident of Unit-01, he saw with his own eyes that the machine devoured his wife.
In the past, Ikari Gendo, who was in college, grew up without parents, like a stray dog, growing up freely without anyone paying attention to him. He did not believe in love, and only liked two things, one was knowledge, and the other was piano.
But since he met Ikari Yui, he realized that life could be so beautiful.
Now I am like a walking corpse.
"We will see each other soon..."
Just as he was immersed in such a future, there was another knock on the office door. Ikari Gendo put on the white glove on his right hand again, put on the look of a serious and cold commander, and then said "Come in", and the visitor came in with the sound of high heels.
It's Ritsuko Akagi.
The blonde beauty looked a little haggard, which was obvious even after she put on makeup. She was wearing a white coat and exuded the calm temperament of a scientific researcher.
"Ritsuko, is there anything wrong?" asked Gendo Ikari.
"It's about Shinji-kun."
Akagi Ritsuko seemed very worried.
Shinji? What could happen to this son? Looking at the surveillance information in the past few days, there is nothing unusual. Ikari Gendo was wondering, but fortunately Akagi Ritsuko quickly told him what happened:"He seems to have learned about the Human Instrumentality Project from Kaji and Katsuragi..."
"Is that so? Then don't worry."
Ikari Gendō pondered.
Shinji's only role is to pilot Unit-01, but after the success of the puppet system, he is no longer very useful in piloting Unit-01. Of course, the puppet system has not yet been put into actual combat, and the feasibility of a clone piloting Unit-01 has only been proven through the experiment of swapping bodies. For this reason, a pilot is still needed as a backup for the time being.
The Human Completion Project cannot be stopped by just a backup pilot and a chief of operations.
The two chatted for a few more words.
At this moment, Akagi Ritsuko suddenly smiled faintly and said:"He's trying to persuade me."
"Oh?"
"It seems that our relationship is too obvious. Shinji-kun actually said, 'So you don't want to hear me call you mom'..."
Ikari Gendo's face darkened.
A huge anger suddenly rose in his heart, like a lion on the grassland being provoked. How could this son say that? How dare he say that? The title of mother only belongs to the son to Wei, and no one else is allowed to have it. How could Akagi Ritsuko... He suppressed the fire in his heart and chatted with Akagi Ritsuko absent-mindedly. It took him a long time to make a decision on this matter:"That's it. There won't be any trouble."
"it is good."
Ritsuko Akagi nodded, then slowly turned around.
Looking at Akagi Ritsuko's back as she left, Ikari Gendo's expression was quite cold. He certainly knew what Akagi Ritsuko was hiding. This woman never talked about this before. What happened today? Was it some kind of temptation? But the woman's temptation was too stupid and obvious. But because he was so angry, he couldn't hide his expression very well, and he was afraid that he would be seen.
Fortunately, this woman will disappear soon.
...become a god, then meet Wei again and create a world with Wei.
"I didn't do anything wrong."
Ikari Gendo thought coldly.
The next one is the sixteenth apostle.
The 17th Angel on the Moon Base is about to appear. The moment when the Human Instrumentality Project is completed is very close.
