Shinji Ikari, the pilot of Unit-01 during the Spirit Awakening Era

“Attracting attention is much easier than infiltrating!” Shinji Ikari raised his binoculars and looked at the opposite side. The entire 19-story building only had a few entrances and exits, and the entrance to the underground parking garage was right on the main street. About a hundred meters ahead was a Self-Defense Force outpost. If he forced his way in… he would probably have to confront the Self-Defense Force head-on.

Avoiding it would be best, so Shinji Ikari was looking for a good spot to enter this seemingly windowless building. He couldn't very well just blast a path open with his Spirit Gun! Even with Yusa Emi's healing magic, Shinji's body had only recovered to the point where he could move, not fully to his peak condition. He still had to conserve his spiritual energy.

"Aren't you getting really bored waiting?" Mei Isayama's voice finally came through the earpiece. She and Emi Yusa had spent some time sneaking in, hoping that the poor guy who had been left in the storage room wouldn't catch a cold.

"Yes! It's incredibly boring." Shinji Ikari shook his head to clear his mind of all distractions. Yes, there are only two entrances, but for Shinji, it's not like there's no other way, is it? He could jump up to this height, but considering the need to attract attention, Shinji felt he didn't need to go through all that trouble.

“They seem to be holding some kind of large-scale ceremony. If nothing unexpected happens, most of the security personnel will probably be concentrated at the edge of the venue.” Yusa Emi scanned the huge room where a massive ceremony was being prepared.

"Understood, then I'll begin. You guys hurry up and seize the opportunity." Shinji Ikari stretched his limbs. It has to be said that because of the Self-Defense Forces' road closure, the food in the convenience store was looted. As a result, Shinji Ikari had only managed to buy a few cold rice balls and didn't even have a decent dinner. As someone from the Totsuki Culinary Group, Shinji Ikari was quite obsessed with food, so he had to hold the Eternal Life Society accountable for this.

With two light taps on the wall, Shinji Ikari leaped across the street in mid-air, his bright red scarf leaving a crimson trail in the air, before smashing through a window of a five-story office! He rushed inside! After landing smoothly, Shinji looked at the bewildered security guard on patrol, and with a backhand punch, knocked the guy, who was only a few centimeters away from him and completely lost his senses, unconscious. Then he took off running towards the door.

"Under attack! The attackers have broken into the fifth floor! Nearby security personnel, immediately converge on the fire escape." Mei Isayama clearly heard a disgusting look lingering on her from not far away, making her desperately want to punch that bastard and make him spit out his anger!

However, this ruse was clearly very effective. Nearly a third of the security guards in the venue immediately left from their respective groups in several directions, obviously to join the operation to surround Shinji Ikari, since Shinji Ikari's whereabouts were indeed not easy to catch.

“That guy on the stage doesn’t have any power fluctuations. It’s not him. He’s just a target.” Yusa Emi whispered in Isayama Mei’s ear. This action might have been a bit abrupt before, but now the whole venue was filled with people whispering. These believers had obviously caused quite a stir because of the sudden event.

However, at this moment, it became clear that the guy on the platform was a seasoned conman. He immediately led everyone to kneel down and pray that the valiant guards could resolve these problems as quickly as possible!

"I actually have to kneel on this thing! Shinji, you'd better hurry up and make a big fuss!" Mei Isayama said with dissatisfaction.

"You guys make it sound so easy!" Because these security guards were ordinary people, and didn't even have much to do with the real Eternal Life Society, Shinji Ikari couldn't really bring himself to use force. So he was currently fighting the security guards who were rushing towards him with a very Jackie Chan-style indoor parkour. He used a broom handle to trip one of the men in front of him, and then watched as that guy knocked down a whole bunch of people. Then Shinji Ikari immediately kicked a fax printer next to him, sending the three or five people who hadn't fallen down flying.

Immediately, a newly arrived security guard, seemingly following some instructions from the street, completely disregarded the fact that several colleagues struggling to crawl out from under the fax printer were not far from Shinji Ikari. He drew a pistol from his waist and fired several shots at Shinji Ikari.

Unfortunately, neither his marksmanship nor his sensitivity to firearms could compare to that of the security guard in front of him. If he didn't even have this level of skill, he would have wasted his entire life in the Hell Paratroopers. Despite the small space, Shinji Ikari easily dodged the famous gun barrels pointed at him in the correct order.

Yes, even at Shinji Ikari's level, dodging bullets is still somewhat troublesome, especially high-velocity bullets. However, at close range, dodging gunfire is not difficult at all! In close combat among martial arts families, one must be able to withstand attacks on multiple limbs such as the opponent's hands, feet, and head. As long as the body's reaction can keep up, dodging gunfire is not too difficult.

This situation startled the man in front of him. After firing a magazine, he stared in astonishment as the man opposite him dodged bullets like the savior of The Matrix. Instead of immediately changing the magazine, he pulled the trigger a few more times with suspicion. Although his marksmanship was not particularly outstanding, it was still too terrifying that at a distance of several meters, more than a dozen bullets had not even touched the edge of the other person.

"Finished?" What brought the armed security guard back to his senses was not anything else, but a cold voice rapidly approaching. The blurry sense of distance made him look up uncomfortably, instinctively trying to find his target. Then, this strange feeling dissipated only after he was suddenly struck hard on the chin and sent flying.

"Damn it! Useless! All of you are useless!" Sanshui Gong, who saw this scene on the monitor, was furious. It would take some time to knock out the other party of more than twenty pigs! How could you bunch of idiots be knocked down in a minute or two?

“If they didn’t have this level of skill, they wouldn’t have come here.” Tian Xianxing put down his phone. “Get ready, we’re definitely going to have to deal with them.”

"Kill him!" San Shui Gong glared menacingly at Soga Saki, who was resting with her eyes closed not far away. "This is your responsibility!"

“Yes! I’ll go.” Soga Saki nodded. “But be prepared for a lot of equipment to be destroyed. Also, evacuate your followers. This is not an easy opponent to deal with!”

"Okay! Go quickly!"

"Using anger to mask fear is the most foolish thing to do."

"Hmph, that's none of your business!"

Chapter 334 The Immortal Ceremony of the Immortal Society (Part 1)

"Are you still going to hide your identity in front of me? If you don't go all out, you won't be leaving here today." Soga Saki stood calmly in front of Shinji Ikari. Unlike Sirius, who knew nothing, she was a high-ranking member of the Onmyōryō and a person with great power. Shinji Ikari's little trick of concealing his identity was nothing in front of her.

"Is the way your children are living now really living? Do you still dare to marry them?" Soga Saki's weakness, Shinji Ikari, naturally already knew that her two children were barely surviving in a special hospital run by the Eternal Life Society, in a state of being neither alive nor dead.

“As a parent, I know this kind of pain…” Saki Soga raised her head, looking at Shinji Ikari with a strange expression. “On the contrary, you, as an exorcist, look at the monsters and demons around you! Don’t you know what shame is!”

“…Wait! It seems your opponent and debate partner aren’t me.” Shinji Ikari turned to the side, while Sensui Shinobu, dressed in casual clothes but clearly wearing a completely new set of clothes, sat at a nearby workstation, eating cup noodles.

Shinji Ikari roughly knew that after killing Ruko, his strength, or rather, due to the change in his mindset, had improved significantly. However, Shinji Ikari was well aware that he was essentially under a time-limited debuff and needed time to recover his physical condition.

However, this does not mean that Shinji Ikari's senses have been shut down. On the contrary, he noticed from the beginning that someone had followed him into the Immortal Society. But the familiar aura emanating from the other person made Shinji decide to see what they wanted to do. After all, if they wanted to kill him, Sensui Shinobu had too many opportunities along the way.

"No wonder Shinichiro likes you so much. Your style is exactly like his." Sensui Shinobu quickly finished her cup of instant noodles, threw the paper cup into the trash can, glanced at Shinji Ikari, who was wearing strange clothes, shook her head, and then looked at Saki Soga beside her.

Saki Soga was also eyeing Sensui Shinobu warily. "I really didn't expect to see you again. It's been so long." Saki Soga clearly recognized him immediately. When she was a little girl, this person was radiant! He was practically the pride of all exorcists in Japan. With him around, no one could underestimate the exorcists in Japan.

She was the one whose uncle held her hand, pointed to Sensui Shinobu in the crowd, and told her to become like him, to fight for the majority...

For some reason, Saki Soga suddenly gave a bitter smile. Yes, they had become the same kind of people, both having once worked for humanity, and both having betrayed humanity...

"Soga no Oo is yours..." Sensui Shinobu threw the trash into the bin and sat there without standing up. Looking at the girl in front of him, she seemed somewhat familiar, but only slightly. He had saved too many people and killed too many people, but as a high-ranking official of the Onmyōryō, Sensui Shinobu didn't remember many of them, except for Soga no Oo.

“Uncle.” Soga Saki’s eyes sharpened as she looked at Sensui Shinobu. “I should thank Shinji. At least in the very end, my battle had a reason that wasn’t so despicable.” Soga Saki said with a happy expression. Compared to Shinji Ikari, who had always been working hard for the future of humanity, this junior she once wanted to help had now grown into an existence that no one could ignore. In fact, as a high-ranking member of the Onmyōryō, she knew very well that many people in the Onmyōryō were looking forward to Shinji Ikari, with whom they had deep ties, truly restoring the glory of their lineage.

Yes, he was just as powerful as the one before them, dominating an entire era! Another group was deeply worried that Shinji Ikari, like the one before them, would ultimately become everyone's nightmare due to his immense power. While they didn't demand the execution of Yuuto Itadori like the Jujutsu Association, they still insisted on rigorously monitoring Shinji. Of course, they weren't as decisive as the Countermeasures Bureau, which had readily prepared a plan to execute Shinji.

Then "Rin" laughed at this plan. Although it wasn't impossible to kill Shinji Ikari, given Shinji's current condition, the Countermeasures Bureau was too busy protecting him to even think about it! Shinji Ikari is dead. Before, it was only Himuro Kirie who went mad, but now it's Himuro Kirie and Kurosawa Ayase, both of them are insane. There's also Himuro Mimori, whom the Onmyōryō (the Bureau of Yin and Yang) helped raise. Yes, she's not exactly a monster, but an A-rank who isn't restricted by location—who wants to know how much destruction she can cause in a city? Who wants to?

Therefore, given the current situation, even without NERV's involvement, the Countermeasures Bureau absolutely does not want to see Shinji Ikari die in battle due to various functional limitations.

"I am very sorry for his death. At that time, I was confused and couldn't listen to anyone's advice." Unexpectedly, Sensui Shinobu apologized first. "You have the right to take revenge on me, but I won't stand idly by."

“No problem, that’s why it’s worth killing!” Sensui’s statement surprised Soga Saki, but it also made her very happy! Yes, to kill her own blood enemy in a fair and square way! She slowly drew her demon sword, Blood Sea, which she had never used before! “Shinji Ikari, they’re upstairs. If you’re quick enough, you can catch them.”

“This is fantastic.” Shinji Ikari nodded, directly bypassing Saki Soga, who was confronting Sensui Shinobu. “I won’t let them get away.”

"I feel like I've been tricked by this little bastard." Sensui Shinobu shook her head and said irritably, then assumed a fighting stance. "He used you."

"Yes, so he was very happy when he saw me. But how come someone as important as you is eating instant noodles in such a miserable state? Shinji Ikari, that little bastard, has such a good relationship with the Totsuki Group..." As he spoke, Saki Soga suddenly thrust forward, aiming directly at Shinobu Sensui's chest.

"Hmph! You did give me some tickets, but they weren't free." Sensui Shinobu dodged to the side and then struck with her elbow. Both of them were just testing each other and weren't really fighting. Soga Saki didn't use her family's swordsmanship, and Sensui Shinobu was just using basic taijutsu to fight her.

"Did you find anything of value?" Shinji Ikari kicked away an unlucky guy who was trying to ambush him around the corner. Shinji knew very well that the other party already knew about his situation. Logically speaking, he would try to delay him and buy time for his officers to escape.

“A very interesting situation has arisen.” Isayama Mei, dressed in the attire of an Eternal Life Society follower, smirked, his face beaming with excitement as he looked at the scene before him. “We’ve been intercepted by our target….”

"Oh?" Shinji Ikari paused, his expression a mixture of surprise and sarcasm. "I think I've been intercepted too..." Shinji looked at a woman with her head down and a blank expression, a look of utter dismay on his face. He had a very bad feeling. It wasn't that he had any strange personal habit of not hitting women; enemies were enemies, there was nothing to say. But if the enemy didn't kill them, were they planning to wait until the New Year to give out red envelopes?

"Oh, that's great! See you in a bit!" Mei Isayama wasn't particularly concerned. While Shinji Ikari was fighting hard, she wasn't idle. In addition, due to her recent continuous high-intensity battles, her bloodline fusion with the dragon had improved significantly. She had now reached the threshold of Shinji Ikari's previous near-S-rank level. It was just a matter of when she could break through like him.

"Hmm... Are you contacting Shinji Ikari?" Misui tapped his mask, his smile almost overflowing. "Great, hurry up and call him over, then we can solve all the problems at once."

"Huh?" Izayama Mei looked at the woman in front of him. "You think you've got me cornered?" Izayama Mei looked at the woman in front of him. She was really arrogant. Did this woman have some kind of advantage that they didn't know about?

"Didn't you... capture Tianxianxing? Oh, right, that shameful guy had no will to resist at all. He's just very good at talking and can fool people. He's a complete waste!" Sanshuigong was evaluating his colleague, and he really didn't have a single good word in his mouth.

"So that's what's going on. The thing he's talking about actually makes me a little tempted. As expected, your cult isn't just about deceiving people with so-called immortality." Izayama Mei's eyes narrowed. "So this is where your real reliance comes in, isn't it?" Izayama Mei smiled. Just the moment he felt a flutter in his heart, Yusa Emi beside him drew her sword without hesitation and stabbed him. Although the Holy Light energy used to heal Shinji Ikari hadn't been replenished, Yusa Emi's swordsmanship was still very capable and sharp. Tenkansei didn't even have time to react before his head was pierced by the longsword.

"Of course! The immortality ritual we undergo is not the kind of trash ritual used as experimental subjects!" Sanshui Gong threw his mask aside, and his whole body rapidly swelled up. His handsome face began to become ferocious, his canine teeth broke through his lips, and his mouth began to become thin and long. His body hair began to grow rapidly amidst the sound of his clothes tearing.

"..." Mei Isayama frowned at the werewolf in front of him. "The werewolf who slaughtered more than 300 villagers in Tomie Village three years ago... It seems I have found him today. It's just a pity that I will lose another hunting fee."

“Foolish humans! What do you know! We who have completed the immortality ritual have already entered the next stage of life! You are not comparable to such lowly creatures!” Sanshui Gongzheng stretched his limbs and laughed wildly. “As for that village… they shouldn’t have refused our kindness. They are all ants! They are not worthy to bargain with us.”

"Hmm... a higher life form? This is... a bit awkward!" Mei Isayama shrugged, while Emi Yusa next to her covered her head and smiled wryly. Although Mei Isayama had fused with the dragon very readily, she was still very bothered by her identity as a human. As the level of assimilation increased, more and more of the mutated parts on Mei Isayama's body also increased! Shinji Ikari had jokingly touched Mei Isayama's tail earlier and was kicked away, crashing through two houses.

Yusa Emi decisively took a few steps to the side. The guy in front of her had perfectly stepped on Isayama Mei's landmine! If she didn't dodge, she might get splattered with blood.

"You die! I'll chew your bones to pieces!" the werewolf roared as he charged forward.

"You haven't even shed all your fur, and you still dare to call yourself a higher being?" As a wisp of smoke rose, a claw covered in scales slammed the werewolf against the wall. Emerging from the smoke, Isayama Mei was now covered in dragon scales, her antlers spreading out on her forehead, and her figure had grown considerably taller. Most terrifying of all was the faint dragon aura emanating from her—evidence that her dragon bloodline, activated, was still slowly evolving.

"How is this possible! You couldn't have participated in the immortality ritual! How could you have completed the evolution!" Sanshuigong roared angrily, and at the same time pounced forward with lightning speed. He crossed his arms in front of his chest, and his five black claws flashed with an eerie light. He swung his claws, and the claw strikes even tore through the air with a booming sound. The energy of his demonic power rushed over with the momentum to tear everything apart.

"So you're just amateurs! You have no idea what you're dealing with! Half-demons are nothing new! And I'm sorry to say, please don't compare your half-baked skills to mine!" Mei Izayama swung his claw back, shattering the energy blast unleashed by Kohei Sansui, the lightning from his claw striking Sansui's body. "The one who imbued me with a spirit isn't trash like you, it's Shinji Ikari's older sister!"

"What!" Upon hearing this, San Shui Gongzheng visibly began to lose his composure for the first time. Who was Shinji Ikari's sister? Who wouldn't know? Even disregarding the fact that some of those who had been killed were members of the Eternal Life Society, the Himuro Mansion had a notorious reputation and was considered a place of despair. How could it be an easy place to get along with?

"And even if you, a piece of trash like you, were given a powerful body..." San Shui Gong was stunned as she read the announcement when Izayama Mei leaped up quickly. By the time she reacted, Izayama Mei was already beside her, her sharp claws tearing large chunks of flesh from her body. "You have no idea what fighting is like! Trash! You shouldn't be distracted during a battle!"

"Damn it!"

Chapter 335 The Sleeping House

Just as Mei Isayama and Kou Misui were fighting, Shinji Ikari also engaged in combat with another woman. This woman seemed to be getting more and more heartbroken, seemingly lamenting to herself as she spoke, and then she actually started sobbing…

Shinji Ikari was on 120% alert! As exorcists, what's truly terrifying isn't powerful demons or monsters—if you can't defeat them and die, that's your inevitable fate in this line of work; you can't blame others for your own weakness. But when faced with anything unusual, without a doubt, any exorcist will be 1000% vigilant, because such unpredictable abilities are the most troublesome.

"Ah..." The woman suddenly let out a shrill scream, and all the porcelain and glass in the corridor shattered instantly. Shinji Ikari felt his head buzz, almost black out, and felt a tightness in his chest. Then he felt like he was floating.

"Good heavens..." Shinji Ikari looked up and saw that the lingering vibrations in the air made it seem as if there was a frosted glass separating him and the girl in front of him. Shinji narrowed his eyes. "A half-demon?"

This was a shocking and astonishing fact to him: the Eternal Life Society was actually conducting research in this area? Was this all there was to their so-called immortality ritual? He felt the Eternal Life Society's prestige had plummeted instantly, and it even seemed a bit inferior to the former Evil Souls Group.

"I'm in so much pain..." The woman in front of me staggered forward a few steps, raised her head, and her face was ferocious and terrifying. Her pupils were no longer visible, leaving only pale white pupils and a huge mouth that took up half of her face.

"Has she completely lost consciousness?" Shinji Ikari looked at the woman in front of him who had not immediately pursued him after repelling him. "Although we cannot communicate, please let me send you on your final journey!" Without hesitation, Shinji kicked the wall and quickly approached her position.

"..." The woman raised her head, tears of blood streaming down her face, her mouth agape as if she was about to unleash another roar at Shinji Ikari! However, her movements were clearly hampered by Shinji's rapid advance, and that moment of hesitation sealed her fate. A heavy punch slammed into her face, sending her flying. Her entire face was dented from the blow, and she crashed heavily into the wall behind her.

This was just the beginning. A flying kick sent her flying. Then, he grabbed her head and slammed it against the glass window. The other person retaliated with a claw.

Shinji Ikari casually tossed the object back into the office, sending it flying and smashing a bunch of desks and equipment.

"Her demonic power is so weak, and isn't it a bit too fragile?" Shinji Ikari strolled in and was surprised to see that the half-demon had already reverted to her original appearance, a fairly pretty girl with large patches of bluish-gray tattoos on her body. This gave Shinji Ikari a very bad feeling, because he had seen similar tattoos before, either on someone else or on Rei Kurosawa.

"So it really was you?" Anger fiercely burned through Shinji Ikari's reason. The hand gripping him tightened instantly, and the girl's face contorted in pain. Suffocation began to consume her life. This time, however, a surge of fighting spirit rose from Shinji's body once more, even showing signs of condensing into a steel armor of fighting spirit for the first time. But... the color wasn't the noble, holy gold of holy light, but... a crimson like blood flames! "You will pay the price!" The blood-flame-like fighting spirit surged directly into the girl's body. She was startled, and a few seconds later, her entire body radiating light, she was kicked into a cubicle by Shinji and exploded into pieces.

“A very clever solution.” Yusa Emi leaned against the door, looking at Shinji Ikari. She had just sensed something that seemed to be holy light, but it was even more ferocious and violent, making her feel a little scared. Since she had already watched Mei Isayama beat up the werewolf on the other side downstairs, she simply ran up.

Then they saw Shinji Ikari pour all the blood flames in his body into the body of the Eternal Life Society woman. She frowned and placed her hand on the hilt of her sword. Shinji Ikari was forcibly expelling the malicious content from his body.

Although the method was very crude and made others bear the consequences, it was certainly effective, though it was a temporary fix.

"It seems the resentment has been quite intense lately," Shinji Ikari said with a wry smile. Both of his masters were exceptionally talented, and their martial arts were indeed magnificent. However, they both had a tendency to question the very core of their being. And coincidentally, both masters seemed to have reached the conclusion of "not being human," while his own answer… Shinji felt as if his heart was a wild beast bound by countless chains called reason, conscience, morality, and even law, constantly struggling to break free of these shackles during this internal questioning! Perhaps one day, he too would have to face an impact akin to a demon within himself…

This isn't some mystical concept, or rather, it's a strange self-doubt from a powerful individual. To put it bluntly, "With a sharp blade in hand, the desire to kill arises spontaneously!" If a powerful individual cannot restrain their reckless thoughts, then without a doubt, the ultimate result will be a situation of indiscriminate killing. Their power may be immense, but they will no longer be themselves, enslaved by others…

"..." Yusa Emi stared at Shinji Ikari for a long time, nodded, and didn't say anything more. After all, only she could solve Shinji's problems. Even if she wanted to interfere, she guessed that his sister and fiancée would not agree. After all, what did it matter to them whether Shinji wanted to destroy the world or not?

"The bad news is that this place is indeed closely related to the attack on Aso Yuu. And the worst part is that the people here have made some kind of pact with a god-level being." Shinji Ikari shook his head. He had always been clinging to Kirie's coattails, but he never expected to see someone else connected to a god-level being. "In that case, many problems can be explained."

When it comes to manipulating spirits, no one is more skilled than the evil god. My level is not low, but only at my level can Kurosawa Sage's power projection directly enter my dream... People of lower level would probably be completely controlled in one move.

The girl in front of him had clearly borrowed some of the power of this evil god, and what's even more interesting is that she seemed to be using this power on a large scale. Shinji Ikari absolutely did not believe that they could restrain an evil god to do this!

So there is some information to investigate, but it is not important to Shinji Ikari. His conflict with the Immortal Society was not originally that great, but ever since they coveted the power of the Higashino Yamamoto, the two sides have been in a state of life and death!

Now, it's enough that it's confirmed these mad cultists are directly involved in the attack on Asou Yuu! That's enough! Shinji Ikari clenched his fist, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his agitated heart. It seemed to have some effect; at least Shinji didn't want to raze the entire building to the ground, but rather drag out all the leaders of the Eternal Life Society and beat them to death! This plan at least sounded reasonable.

"Do you have any reliable information?" Yusa Emi frowned. She also felt that cracking down on cults didn't require any complicated reasons. All she needed to do was find a way to kill them, but the methods definitely wouldn't be the extremely bloody ones like Shinji Ikari's.

"That woman just now had tattoos that looked very similar to Rei Kurosawa's," Shinji Ikari said through gritted teeth. They were exorcists, not police officers or judges, and they didn't care about evidence of ghosts! Many times, as long as you were evil, even if there was only a little circumstantial evidence, they would act first and then examine the body!

"Is that so?" Yusa Emi nodded. She could understand why Shinji Ikari's reason had been burned away by rage! Although her relationship with her back-to-back brothers might be somewhat different, she also knew very well that when Shinji Ikari and Yuu Aso were still weak, the two of them went on adventures together, risking their lives together. After Rei Kurosawa's accident, Yuu Aso immediately sent her to Mount Hikami, asking Shinji's fiancée, Sae Kurosawa, to take care of her. Such brotherly affection was extremely strong!

"Let's go. I don't think the next one is too far away. Besides, it seems the house has stopped shaking. I guess the fight with Mei has already ended." Although Lancer's fight with the woman before was also fierce, it was completely different from the earth-shaking battle below. Mei Isayama had directly hammered Sirius of the Eternal Life Society, who had stepped on his sore spot, to death.

"So, shall we continue upstairs?" Yusa Emi nodded. Isayama Mei's aura was still very stable, indicating that nothing had happened. On the contrary, the other one had become very fragile, and it was almost certain that he was about to dissipate.

"No... this way first." Shinji Ikari pointed to a narrow path that didn't seem very wide, piled with a lot of miscellaneous items. There was even an emergency evacuation passage sign nearby. The disguise was quite good, but as an exorcist, if you can't see through this, it's not just a matter of losing a little money. It could very well be a life-or-death crisis.

"Yo... welcome!" Tenfusei sat quietly on the sofa, glancing up at Shinji Ikari, with two waitresses standing behind him. "I don't want to fight you. I'm a high-ranking official, but I basically don't get involved in anything, so can you accept my profile picture?"

"Sure, but you'll have to pay the price." Before Shinji Ikari could speak, Mei Isayama walked in carrying a severed head and threw the head of the furious Kosei Misui at him.

"..." Shinji Ikari shook his head. He recognized the person in front of him; it was someone he had met at his sister Sonoko Suzuki's matchmaking party years ago. Clearly, he was a spoiled brat from a wealthy family. However, since Mei Isayama had spoken, she would probably get a large sum of money, and Shinji really couldn't object. If he didn't get such a large sum of money, Mei Isayama would kill him.

"Money, imprisonment, even trial—I can accept any of that. Of course, if compensation is required, just name a figure, and I'll be more agreeable." Tengen Seishi, standing up, nodded, expressing her gratitude to Mei Izayama for interjecting. Otherwise, given that Shinji Ikari's longsword might have already made his scalp tingle, there was no possibility of him holding back when attacking him!

Seeing Mei Isayama haggling with the boy, Shinji Ikari simply shook his head. There was no time to waste now. "Where is your leader?"

"It's on the top floor, the whole floor belongs to him. I haven't seen him in a long time, I wonder what he's busy with." Jing spread her hands. "That's why the power ended up in her hands, since she loves to stir things up the most." Jing pointed to the head with wide eyes, clearly somewhat dissatisfied, but since he wasn't a very diligent person, and someone else was willing to take on the task, he naturally didn't say anything more.

Anyway, he had no desire for power. On the contrary, he was very interested to see what the result of all this commotion would be. Would it really be to control Japan by infiltrating the political arena? Or would it be like now, with the powerful who were hurt coming to their door and making them pay a heavy price, or even be wiped out?

"Hmph!" Shinji Ikari snorted coldly and turned to leave.

"Oh, right, Eternal Emperor, speaking of which, I'm still a fan of yours. I'll just give you a piece of news for free: they've found a passageway." Jing's lips curled into a grin. Yes, humans had destroyed many passageways, making it impossible for the demon realm to deal with them. However, Huang Quan himself was a man of great talent and ambition. He forcibly downgraded many of his originally powerful subordinates and sent them to Earth. These guys' knowledge and strength were far beyond what those demons who had previously caused so much trouble could compare to!

"How did you know that! And where!" Shinji Ikari had a bad feeling, after all, he had already seen Reika Kuze's power.

"Because it is a place that is related to us, it has been occupied by them, a place where dreams and reality intersect, called the House of Sleep."

Do you know how to get there?

"I don't know, but I know where it's recorded."

"it is good!"

Chapter 336 At the Pinnacle of Man, All Things Are Destroyed

A blade suddenly slashed through the building's exterior wall. A corner of this building, which had been plagued by bad luck tonight, was sheared off and crashed heavily to the ground, adding a chaotic atmosphere to this restless night in New Tokyo.

The Self-Defense Force soldiers near the Eternal Life Society looked up at the building and sneered. Their mission was to block the passage and prevent anyone who wasn't a member of the Eternal Life Society from entering or leaving. They had done it. Indeed, no one who wasn't a member of the Eternal Life Society could get in through the road. You want to get in from other places? What does that have to do with them!

"No wonder Shinji Ikari saw you trying to run away; you're already stronger than your uncle." Sensui Shinobu stood before the broken pillar, examining the smooth surface before turning a sharp gaze to the woman before him. He tossed his tattered outer garment onto the ground, revealing a body covered in wounds, with a large burn scar on his abdomen.

"Oh...it seems that Mr. Shinichiro from back then caused you a lot of trouble." Soga Saki spat out a mouthful of blood. Her gaze was focused on a wound on Sensui Shinobu's shoulder. Her slash had still managed to hook the man who had once been so oblivious to her that she couldn't even see his back. She didn't know whether to be happy or sad. She had almost exhausted all her strength, but she had only managed to break through Sensui Shinobu's weak defense.

Although such an achievement was enough to make Shinji Ikari envious, Shinji Ikari felt that if he were to fight Shinobu Sensui, the best-case scenario would be for him to find an opportunity to slap her in the face if his two older sisters did not interfere. Shinobu Sensui's aura armor was not easy to penetrate, and Shinji Ikari, no, Shinichiro Honda, was the most qualified to say about this.

"That bastard Shinichiro..." Sensui suppressed a laugh. The rebellious disciple who threw a punch at his master! But he was a man of principle, more insightful than himself! So-called justice depends on which group you stand on; without a stance, there is no justice!

The reason I think so highly of Shinji Ikari is because this little rascal's stance is far more... flexible than Shinichiro's. According to my investigation, putting aside everything else, he absolutely cannot abandon his sister. In this way, Shinji Ikari's stance is very close to my own!
