Me and countless me.

Chapter 587 The Lion King and EVA
"You really are abstract."

Li Ke's eye twitched slightly, especially since the other party had already figured out how to restore his male body from the shared memories.

After all, he had already thrown away his family's inherited light, intending to rely on his innate abilities to cause trouble. So naturally, he didn't need that so-called light anymore, and for him, restoring his normal male body wasn't a difficult thing.

Carmilla is going to be in trouble from now on.

First, she was transformed and had beans deducted from her body, and then she was stabbed.

However, at this moment, the light in the black mist surged continuously, and the next moment, a lion with Lu Mingfei in its eyes and a boy with a lion in his eyes emerged from the black mist.

The first one to rush forward was naturally Li Ke from Type-Moon, but when he touched this lion Li Ke with Lu Mingfei in his eyes, he really didn't know what to say.

Because this lion is very famous, famous to an extreme degree.

In his own world, Li Ke is known as Simba! The Lion King Simba!
Moreover, it knew its talent from birth!

Devour!

You can gain the original abilities of food and a certain amount of energy points by consuming it, which can then be used to acquire the other party's innate abilities and certain attributes.

It can even change the structure of its own body, allowing it to grow wings, gills, and other things.

He also didn't experience the events in the original story where his father died and Scar became the Lion King, and he also met Pumbaa and Timon.

The reason why Lu Mingfei was hidden in his eyes was very simple.

He's an adult now.

He didn't drive away his father when he came of age, but the lionesses no longer recognized him and came looking for him instead. However, as a normal human, how could he possibly be in heat with lions? So, he was constantly bitten in his groin by the lionesses, who would keep him there so he would go to them to "farm" with them.

Wherever he went, those lionesses would bite him, making him feel the pain of being dragged along at any time.

He was originally considering whether to run away with Pumbaa and Timon to the big city to play with Pumbaa's pen pal, a blue cat named Tom. But right now, he's surrounded by his mother 24/7, clearly to prevent him from running away. And the old lion seems to think this is his fault, so he kills him by hunting, just like in the original story, by running over a cow.

So now he's completely devastated, and Lu Mingfei has taken up residence in his eyes.

But now that he has the power of the other Li Ke, he is naturally able to escape his misery and even revive his dead father!
When Li Ke, who was watching from the sidelines, realized that Tom existed in his world, he couldn't help but point at him.

"This is the new big boss!"

As we all know, comedic characters are all supermodels. Whether you're a Saiyan from Dragon Ball, Ultraman Darkseid, or Thanos, you're helpless against Talking Tom. And to live in the same world as Talking Tom, you're naturally among the strongest, the most powerful of the powerful!

But the other boy, who had a lion in his eyes, was a different story.

In his world there are monsters called Apostles, and his name is also very famous.

Shinji Ikari.

Shinji Ikari from the world of EVA.

The story of EVA is complex in some ways, but not so complex in others. In general, it's about a teenage boy piloting a mecha, living with a taciturn, emotionless girl, a haughty blonde girl with twin tails, an older, overweight female office worker, and a caring young stepmother who isn't related to him by blood. Together, they wear bodysuits, pilot artificial mecha, and fight monsters tens of meters tall.

The enemy is a bit stronger, and the guy who's both the commander and my own father isn't exactly human, so I suffer from time to time.

However, unlike the gentle and resilient guy in the original work, this guy turned into a fighting fanatic as soon as he found out that he was Shinji Ikari. He started practicing all kinds of martial arts from elementary school, including boxing, Sanda, and the Black Dragon Eighteen Hands. He learned everything, including those with points, blades, long and short weapons, whips, locks, hammers, and claws. He also constantly simulated battles with various Angels based on his fragmented memories.

However, he didn't know much about the plot of EVA. After all, the plot was quite enigmatic, and it was something he watched when he was a child, so he didn't understand it at all and therefore didn't watch it. He only knew that Shinji Ikari was treated very badly by his father, and after personally experiencing some of Shinji Ikari's 'care', he felt that the term 'biological father' was really suitable for Shinji Ikari.

Moreover, because he vaguely remembered that there were things like piloting mechs and fighting against countless monsters, he kept challenging all kinds of human limits. Fighting several people with his eyes covered was his daily training routine. It can be said that he practiced most of the martial arts in the world except for Taekwondo!

He even practiced Indian weapons and martial arts!

So at this moment, Shinji Ikari, though a boy, is physically strong, with a resolute gaze, and his flowing hair is like a lion's mane. His muscles are exceptionally strong, and if he were wearing a cape, he would even give the illusion of Ultraman Leo fighting against Mecha Seven on the battlefield!

"With everyone's strength, I will be able to easily tear apart those nonsensical things!"

After sensing the memories of the other Rikos, Shinji Ikari couldn't help but clench his fists in excitement. Even if he hadn't gained any talent, even if he could only use these Rikos' memories, he could still make those clueless riddle people in this world pay the price!
But as he was thanking the other Li Kes, he saw that they had already started fighting. The Li Ke from the Inuyasha world was being pinned down by a large group of Li Kes, who were roaring at him.

"Choose Li first!! A girl with no background, no connections, and no emotional intelligence is the best!!"

However, before he could finish speaking, he was kicked away by Li Ke of Type-Moon.

"What are you choosing for! Are you a three-year-old?! Sai Gao, watch me kill you, you Japanese devil!"

Then, Li Ke from Type-Moon was stabbed through the chest with a large knife by another Li Ke!
"You're a Japanese devil too! Take my Demon Slayer!"

As a result, the entire black mist space was filled with comments like, "Ai Haibara is the true heroine!", "Ran is so inferior!", "Kikyo is invincible!", "Ai Haibara is the mistress!", "Am I the only one who thinks Mimi should be paired with Taichi?", and "Tomoyo is the true love!"

"........."

Shinji Ikari and Li Ke were somewhat speechless, but they chose to be tolerant and respectful.

When Shinji Ikari opened his eyes again, he saw that the calligraphy he had written himself, the character 'kill', was still hanging properly in front of him. He was still in a meditative posture, and the letter from Gendo Ikari, who had asked him to go to Tokyo-3, was beside him.

"Don't worry, everyone in the Black Mist Space, I won't let you down!"

His resolute gaze and pure heart filled him with gratitude towards the other Li Kes, but his sense of righteousness made him clench his fists involuntarily.

He only knew that EVA was a story about a boy piloting a giant robot to fight against attacking monsters, but there were also EVA stories in other Li Ke worlds. So after obtaining the memories of other Li Ke, he immediately understood that all of this was a plan by a group of dying nobles to drag everyone down with them in order to achieve immortality.

This project is called the Human Instrumentality Project. Officially, it's said to be about bringing all humans together without any barriers, but the actual result is that everyone becomes something like orange juice, and their consciousnesses merge to achieve so-called immortality.

The Apostles were something they planned to release, or rather, condoned, because if it weren't for this plan, they could have easily killed all the Apostles long ago, preventing them from causing such immense destruction in the world! But for countless ordinary people, the information they received was that the organization carrying out this plan was actually protecting them!

As for Gendo Ikari, he used this plan in order to revive Yui Ikari.

Almost no one treats the rest of the world as human beings, and they all launch their so-called Human Instrumentality Project, treating everyone else as expendable resources!

Even if Shinji Ikari were to become the only god because of their so-called love, the act of sacrificing everyone else still made Shinji Ikari feel nauseous.

Therefore, at this moment, he had only one thought in his mind.

"What do you take life for?!"

An angry voice came from Li Ke's mouth, and his fist slammed hard on the ground. He was about to carry out his plan, piloting Unit-01 to fight against the released apostles while using Li Ke's other technological powers to rewrite everything!
However, with his roar, a red bird-shaped pattern appeared on his chest, just like the one on Ultraman Tiga's chest. Accompanied by the strong heartbeat, his fist suddenly grew larger and became as if it had no skin, only exposed muscles.

But the color of his muscles was not bright red, but silver-gray, and a bird-shaped timer similar to Ultraman's appeared on his chest!
As he grew angrier, this transformation intensified! His arms and body began to turn into silvery-white forms, and even his eyes became bulbous, resembling salted duck eggs!

Finally, amidst Li Ke's rage, his body transformed into a strange life form with a silvery-white color and pitted skin, resembling both armor and skin, appearing exceptionally bizarre and terrifying, yet giving one a sense of closeness upon closer inspection!

When Li Ke noticed the change in herself and subconsciously looked in the mirror, she immediately recognized the name of the person in the mirror.

"Nextor?!"

Next, the immature form of Ultraman Nexus, is also the initial stage of the fusion between Ultraman Noa, one of the Four Mysterious Ultras, and a human!
"So is this Ultraman Tiga's 'talent,' or is it her innate power?"

He had no idea what was going on, because only Ultraman Tiga Li Ke himself knew the answer. But he didn't have time to think about it, because his train to Tokyo-3 was about to depart.

He closed his eyes and began to use his will to drive this power.

Willpower and belief are the source of control and evolution of Next's power. As long as belief and will are firm enough, Next, or rather Ultraman Noa, will be able to generate power continuously, propelling him to evolve into an even more powerful form!
But his belief was unwavering!
So when Shinji Ikari opened his eyes again, the power of light receded like a tide, and his body returned to the strong and powerful young man who had undergone countless training sessions, resembling a lion. However, Nexus's transformation device did not appear on his body. Instead, a ring engraved with a roaring lion appeared on his right hand.

This was still his own will. His firm belief led the power within him to pinpoint the opportunity for his transformation on the fist he swung to fulfill his inner conviction!

"I hope Li Ke's plan in the Ultraman world goes smoothly... Thank you."

The boy, now back to normal, thanked his other self. Because of this power, he no longer needed to do any of those messy things. With the power of Ultraman, he could tolerate these tragedies and these things jumping around in front of him for even a second longer; it would be an insult to his intelligence and power!
So he silently headed to the station, beginning his journey to the Third New Tokyo City, which he was destined to go to.

Li Ke didn't say a word along the way because he knew that when he arrived in the Third New Tokyo City, an apostle would appear before him, and that would be the time for him to test his strength.

The turbulence of the journey was of no concern to Li Ke at this moment, but when he stepped out of the train station, he found countless people fleeing, and all the trains at the station were temporarily suspended. Moreover, the news was constantly broadcasting that the apostles were about to attack, and everyone was immediately taking cover.

Countless terrified people ran towards the shelter, but Li Ke alone carried his luggage and walked against the flow of people toward the rendezvous point indicated on the letter.

However, just like in the anime, standing here, he didn't see the carefree, older female office worker, Katsuragi Misato, who occasionally gave him perks. Instead, on the deserted street, he saw countless strangely shaped airplanes constantly retreating, and then a very strange-looking black figure, as if randomly pieced together, walking through the city at a speed of tens of meters.

Fighter jets and tanks bombarded the monster relentlessly, and missiles rained down on it without restraint, but all to no avail. Conventional human weapons only produced sparks when they attacked the monster, highlighting its immense power!
Instead, this abstract monster, resembling a stick figure, suddenly swung its arm, which instantly stretched hundreds of meters like a spear, stabbing towards the fighter jets!
Li Ke was certain that if the opponent's attack hit, none of the soldiers who stood up to protect humanity would survive!

So before it made its move, Li Ke clenched his fists and crossed them in front of him, then suddenly pulled his fists back to his waist and threw a punch with the belief that he wanted to stop the monster from harming the soldiers and rewrite his own and even humanity's fate!
"Let me see if my conviction is enough to support me in destroying all tragedy!"

Transform! Next!
Light flashed across the battlefield in an instant, and countless rays of light arrived in front of the fighter jets just as the apostles were about to pierce them.

"I'm still alive? What...what is that..."

In the flash of light, the fighter pilots could only see a blurry, silvery-white figure grab the apostle's outstretched arm and save them.

In their terror, the soldiers saw the giant, shrouded in light, nod at them before turning to the dark monster, Sakir, and hearing its battle roar.

"just!"

The silver-white giant merely waved his arm, and the apostle, whom they had tried everything to harm but could not, suffered a severe blow. The black arm, without a single scar, flew off the apostle's body like a piece of torn plastic, and at that moment, the huge wound gushed out countless drops of blood like a fountain, splattering onto the earth.

The water angel Sakiel immediately wanted to retreat and run away. He sensed a terrifying energy and an unparalleled threat emanating from the silver-white giant before him!

So he immediately used his most powerful defensive ability, the AT field!

That is the wall separating self-awareness from the awareness of others, also known as the Wall of the Heart. If the Absolute Territory Field is strong enough, it can even defend against nuclear attacks!

However, if the nuclear bomb does not hit directly, it is extremely difficult to break through the Apostle's AT field defense capability.

However, Li Ke simply dropped Sakir's arm, then clenched his fist and swung it violently.

In an instant, just an instant, the AT field shattered, and Li Ke pierced through the Water Angel's chest!
Even before the Water Angel could see how he was hit, his body lost the ability to move. He trembled and raised his other arm. This huge monster, tens of meters tall, still wanted to put up a last resistance, but Li Ke had already taken a step back, his arm flashing with light, and his hands suddenly made a cross!
A blue-white energy beam erupted, and the energy flow of 72 degrees Celsius instantly ignited the water angel's entire body, turning all its matter into dust in a violent explosion. Then, it continued its momentum straight into the sky and shot into the universe!
Along the way, everything in the way of this ray was vaporized and evaporated in an instant, until it crashed into the unfortunate Pluto.

Pluto was instantly shattered by the shot, losing most of its mass. The remaining part began to dissolve rapidly under the bombardment of this violent energy. Even the core was quickly penetrated, and the surface began to melt, turning into magma that wriggled in space!
Standing on Earth, Li Ke looked down at his masterpiece, gazed at the terrified soldiers staring at him, felt the power within his body, and clenched his fists.

So, under the watchful eyes of countless people, it neither flew away nor transformed back into a human in a secluded corner, but rather, in the presence of countless people and before the hastily arriving Misato Katsuragi, it transformed back into a human from a giant.

Misato Katsuragi was completely dumbfounded. She hadn't expected that the boy who was supposed to pick her up would have such terrifying power. She even dropped her phone in surprise.

But Li Ke didn't even look in any other direction. Instead, he opened her car door, sat in the back seat, closed his eyes, made a quick estimate, and then gave a time.

"1 minutes 36 seconds."

Misato Katsuragi paused for a moment, then subconsciously asked a question in return.

"What's this?"

Li Ke opened her eyes, looked at the beautiful eyes filled with astonishment, and at the listening devices and communicators around her, and smiled as she explained the meaning of this time.

"The time it takes for me to disarm all the armed forces on Earth without destroying it or harming other civilians."
