Hawks from the Land of Light are calling me a dove and an undercover agent in the chat group.

When Uncle Bruce went to the ninja world before, he had already started blood sampling investigations. The research proved that the humans in the ninja world also evolved from pure monkeys and apes.

The reason why they have three times the number of cells as other people is that, on the one hand, the oxygen content in the ninja world is much more abundant than that on Earth, and on the other hand, it is because chakra appeared a thousand years ago. So, although there are differences, they can still be considered to be from the same school as Earthlings.

But if they are of the same race as the apostles, then it's a completely different story, isn't it?

[Dead Fish Eyes]: "No, I remember now. In the Seven OV worldview, which is not the main universe of the Land of Light, the humans there have been proven to be extraterrestrial life invading Earth."

[Dead Fish Eyes]: "If you calculate it this way, they definitely didn't evolve from Earth animals, but they are still humans, so this should be acceptable. Different origins are different, yeah, acceptable, understandable."

When Hachiman Hikigaya said this, the others, who were initially at a loss, felt a little relieved, but were still a little flustered.

Because if Shinji's origin is different from theirs, then he is essentially another kind of "alien," and in a sense, that would be the first time an "alien" has joined the group.

What, you mean Kassadin?

Are you kidding me? You think Ultraman is an alien just because you say so? Yes, he's from Nebula M78, but Ultraman is Ultraman. He's not the same as an alien. No fool would mistake Ultraman for an alien!

[Pro-war faction]: "Your reaction is a bit too much. This is actually not important. People from all over the world are friends. As long as our enthusiasm remains, it doesn't matter what race we are."

[Pro-war faction]: "Besides, the only difference may be the origin. In terms of physical structure and cells, Shinji is actually the same as you. The only difference is the special characteristic of the Light of the Soul."

[Don't want to pilot Unit-01]: "Really...?"

The loser is at it again.

Although he was only 14 years old, he didn't have a clear understanding of race and didn't quite understand what Uncle Casa meant. He didn't feel that he was any different from the others in the group, but everyone's surprised reaction made him a little sensitive.

Upon seeing this, Hibiki Yuta burst into laughter.

[Coward]: "Don't you understand? Shinji, you know what? I'm a 2.5-dimensional being, you know? The kind that can crawl into computers and phones. Compared to you, I'm even weirder."

Having already experienced the shocking fact that he was created by a female high school girl, Yuta Hibiki, the different origin of Shinji had the least impact on him. Everyone is a special person, and no one is more special than anyone else.

[I Don't Want to Pilot Unit-01]: "Is that even possible?"

[Coward]: "I'll show you a trick next time I go over there, hehe. With this trick, maybe I can become an international magician when I go to Shinjo's three-dimensional universe."

[I don't want to pilot Unit-01]: "Thank you!"

That was great, Yuta!

In the shelter of the EVA world, Kassadin nodded to himself. He hadn't expected that he wouldn't need to play the role of a spiritual mentor this time.

Yuta has grown up so much! He's a really great young man, no less than any of the Ultra Brothers in the Ultra Multiverse who are united in spirit!

[Pro-war faction]: "Some things are better left unsaid. I can only guarantee one thing right now: the humans and Angels in Shinji's world definitely have an origin relationship. That's for sure."

[Pro-war faction]: "But in terms of bloodline, they may not necessarily be siblings. It is possible that they share the same origin two or three generations ago, so they are probably cousins. There are indeed some differences."

[I am Batman] "Based on your current impressions, what is the general combat strength like in Shinji's world? Or rather, what level of enemy might be the strongest?"

[Pro-war faction]: "Well... I sensed that there are two beings that are much stronger than the Angels and EVAs. Although the data we have now is too little and incomplete to say for sure, it is certain that those two were stronger than many ordinary monsters in their prime."

[I am Ultraman]: "Can I pass the Ultra Brothers?"

Kasa thought for a moment and gave an answer that a range should indeed be about right.

[Pro-war faction]: "No way, we can't beat Jack."

【I am Batman】: "Really? That's a real shame."

[Best Actor]: "What a pity?"

[I am Batman]: "If this is all there is to it, I can really take a look."

Alas, the loss of Gundam is truly heartbreaking!

Bruce shook his head and sighed. He wasn't an advanced life form like Ultraman. Going to the EVA universe would definitely not cause a riot by the two strongest beings lurking behind the scenes, who could easily steal the Angel's body and the EVA's creation data.

That was absolutely awesome!

Although he can achieve a lot in the ninja world, at least in the near future, he has definitely managed to create several Kage-level armors, and even creating a Super Kage armor in the future is certainly not a problem.

But stealing both ninja research and EVA research would always open up more possibilities for him!

[King of Resilience]: "Ugh, shameless! You're always looking for more than you have. What have we ninjas done to you? Aren't all these ninjutsu and chakra enough for you to strengthen yourself?"

[King of Resilience]: "Bruce Wayne, who underestimated our great ninja world and the great Uchiha clan, will be brought to justice!"

【I am Batman】: "Mainly because I'm really envious of that AT field. That thing is different, it's very special."

Bruce saw it very clearly.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Apostle's AT Field is no match for O. That's because O is the most outstanding master in the field of mental light. In terms of mental offense and defense, O is actually better than in physical offense and defense. Trying to defend against O's attack with a mental field? What a joke.

Looking across the world, how many people can rival Ultraman in their research and development of the mind?

Although Ooku occasionally encounters special monsters or aliens with psychological abilities in various TV series, and suffers terribly as a result, he always wins.

It looked like Ultraman was in great pain, but when the battle stats were checked, the opponent's damage output was only 0.5. Apart from causing Ultraman pain, it didn't really have any real impact and couldn't break Ultraman's soul and mind.

Even these achievements were generally made when Ultraman and the human were of one mind and body. The human soul, to some extent, hindered Ultraman's performance. If it were just Ultraman alone, who knows what would have happened?

So it's not that the Angels are too weak, it's just that Ultraman is too overpowered and can't defend against Ultraman. It doesn't mean that the AT Field is useless; on the contrary, this thing is extremely useful.

Putting aside everything else, as long as the main body can remain permanently in the AT field, it doesn't need to be very strong. Even if it's just enough to move a spoon, it's still a dividing line between oneself and others, and between oneself and the outside world.

With this thing around, no matter what kind of mind-type monster or superpowered being, or even a mind-related evil god, even if they are strong enough to invade Bruce's mind, as long as the AT field is there, he can immediately discover that he has been invaded and tampered with.

In this way, he can ensure that he will not be used by others and can more confidently carry out various backup plans against friendly forces.

[Don't want to pilot Unit-01]: "Then, should I go to the NERV base and find the construction data for Unit-01 for you, Uncle Bruce?"

[Pro-war faction]: "We'll talk about that later, Shinji. Don't act just to feel needed. Wait until you do it because of your feelings, then do it."

[Don't want to pilot Unit-01]: "Don't act just to be someone who is needed?"

[Pro-war faction]: "That's right, Shinji, you need to face your true feelings."

Kasa shook his head slightly.

He had initially thought that Shinji seemed a bit lost because of the issue of race, and wanted to praise the boy for being brave, to give him some positive feedback and confidence.

For a fourteen-year-old child with limited understanding, Shinji's courage to pilot Unit-01 and even initially want to confront the Third Angel head-on is truly remarkable.

Perhaps for an adult soldier, these are just the most basic things, but for a child who has not received military training, this courage has surpassed that of most people and is very commendable.

There is just one big problem.

Shinji's courage was based on the desire to be needed, not on the desire to become a certain kind of person.

Although Shinji didn't say it, if he couldn't even see this essential quality in the child's heart, then all those years of teaching children of various races would have been in vain for him, Kassadin.

[The pro-war faction]: "A person's social perception and identity do indeed stem from how others see him, whether he is needed by them, and whether they need him. These collective factors constitute a person's social identity, but they are not the most fundamental essence."

[The pro-war faction]: "As a person, a life, a self, what you need to understand most is what kind of person you want to be and what kind of person you think you are."

If Shinji's greatest desire is to become someone who is needed by others, then while Kassadin doesn't encourage this way of life and its essence, he won't forcibly interfere either.

But that's not the case.

Shinji yearns for a transformation deep down. He doesn't actually want to become that kind of person; rather, he's lost and doesn't know what kind of life he can live besides being someone who is needed by others.

In such situations, providing guidance and taking firm action to intervene is the responsibility and conduct expected of a true teacher.

The so-called children are, in essence, students who still need to be led by the hand!

[I don't want to pilot Unit-01]: "Huh? Is that really true? Uncle Kassa, you're not seeing things, are you? But... I don't understand anything."

Shinji Ikari became uneasy.

Unit-01 had been sent back to NERV's underground. He stepped out of the cockpit, his cheeks flushed, and he lowered his head, his toes curling up. He was a little unsure how to describe his feelings at that moment.

He was so happy, really so happy.

This was the first time someone had spoken to him so frankly, cared about him so much, understood him so well, and focused all their attention on him.

But he was also very uneasy.

His true self, which he had always kept hidden, was now exposed to the light of day and examined under a magnifying glass. In that case, he would no longer be able to hide.

If you can't hide it, what can you do?

He's so confused. He's just a loser who's insecure and sensitive, knows nothing, doesn't dare to take responsibility, is afraid of getting hurt, and has all sorts of wild thoughts in his head, but in reality, he's always too scared to do anything.

[Pro-war faction]: "It is precisely because you do not understand that you need to search for it!"

[The pro-war faction]: "Don't be afraid to move forward. Although you may stumble while moving forward in the fog, it is shameful to stand still. Before you find your own answer, let me lead you forward."

[Pro-war faction]: "If you fall, I will catch you before you fall, Shinji."

"!"

Shinji Ikari froze on the spot, and with a thud, he could almost hear the sound of his own heart pounding in his ears.

His heart was pounding so hard that he didn't even need to look in a mirror to know that he was blushing furiously.

"Hmm?" Standing in front of Shinji Ikari, Misato Katsuragi waved at him and laughed teasingly, "What, have you finally fallen in love with me at first sight?"

Shinji Ikari blurted out, "Miss Misato, you're still a long way off, aren't you?"

"Huh? What did you say, kid? Damn it, I'm obviously very popular, you know!"

Misato Katsuragi is furious!

Shinji Ikari instinctively wanted to apologize, but he stopped himself before he could finish. He looked at her seriously and saw that Misato wasn't really angry. Instead, she seemed pleased that he could say such things in this post-war situation.

Miss Misato is a good person, although not as good as Uncle Casa, but she is still a kind person who cares about him.

Apologizing in this situation is irresponsible and shows a complete lack of concern for the other party. If it were the old him, he would not care about Ms. Misato's apology at all, thus absolving himself of all potential responsibility from the outset and allowing himself to continue to evade responsibility.

but now……

"Maybe one day I'll become more popular than Miss Misato?"

Eh?

Did these words really come out of his own mouth?

Shinji Ikari was stunned.

Misato Katsuragi was also stunned. She stared at the brat in front of her in surprise. After a couple of seconds, the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up. She reached out her large hand and ruffled Shinji's hair roughly, chuckling, "You brat, you're much more lively than when we first met on the train. That's more like it!"

"Alright then, you don't have to live at NERV headquarters anymore. You can live with me, your big sister, so I can bully you day and night. Hmph, you wretched brat!"

Shinji Ikari was momentarily dazed. Was that all?

I was just following Uncle Kasa's guidance and took a small step, and it felt like I suddenly received more kindness.
