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

"Hidden gentleness." As the terrifying aura began to fade in the space, Hisahito Kisaragi's face still showed a slight fear, clearly still feeling a bit lingering dread. However, she could still sense some concern and persuasion from Himuro Kirie's attitude towards Ayato Kamina. But after making her judgment that they were unwilling to listen to her advice, she immediately dragged the somewhat unwilling Shinji Ikari away.

"Kirie-nee... we need to be wary of her warning." Shinji Ikari stared at her, making Ayato Kamina feel somewhat helpless. He understood what Himuro Kirie meant. Even if she didn't stop him, there were beings no weaker than her who would still stop him when the world was reset. After all, this world had already produced a massive number of powerful individuals with terrifyingly high limits. Even Himuro Kirie herself couldn't say that she was already at the limit of this world. Would such an existence willingly have its presence erased?

"Ah...ah!" Kisaragi Kuon nodded, wanting to say something but holding back in the end. But soon, they felt the ground shake, and the two looked at each other in surprise!

"Huff..." Shinji Ikari was also forced to wake up amidst a violent shaking. Yes, no matter who it was, after being bounced around like a pinball in the insertion plug for a while, they would all be alert. Shinji Ikari, after regaining his senses, was naturally no exception.

"Hiss... What happened!?" Shinji Ikari covered his head and, taking advantage of the next jolt, used the top wall of the insertion plug to leap onto the pilot's seat amidst the flow of LCL fluid caused by the violent shaking of the machine.

"Shinji? You've finally woken up?" Misato Katsuragi's voice rang out anxiously. "Unit-01 has gone berserk, and it's currently engaged in combat with two Rah God Seine units! The enemy's combat power is formidable."

"Very impressive? Then why am I still here?" Shinji Ikari muttered to himself. Was the Winged God Seine strong? Yes, very strong. So strong that this relatively popular mecha barely appeared in a certain main character's mecha battle. It was because its theoretical combat power was too high to be used. The only time it appeared, its final form, Ayato Kamiya, was almost unusable. It was comparable to the treatment of Shu Shirakawa, who was a long-time supporting character in mecha battles.

"Um... because Unit-01 has been in a berserk state. By the way, are you sure your condition won't trigger the Third Impact?" Misato Katsuragi's voice trembled slightly.

"Huh?" Shinji Ikari, who had just gripped the control stick, looked completely bewildered. He himself had no idea what was happening. "Is there an external view? My current view... is shaking violently." Because the actions of Unit-01 were now undoubtedly being taken over by instinct, Shinji Ikari was completely unable to sense Unit-01's state through his usual perception.

The reason for his current berserk state is unknown; it is either the work of his mother, Yui Ikari, or Kurosawa Aise, who came with him but did not appear.

“This is what it looks like now!” Misato Katsuragi immediately retrieved satellite photos from the US military and projected them onto the insertion plug.

ghostly appearance

"Damn it..." Shinji Ikari was completely dumbfounded. No wonder Misato Katsuragi asked him if Unit-01 was about to trigger the Third Impact. They'd already deployed the light ring, the light wings, and the giant arm. "Is Rei Ayanami nearby?"

"Hmm!" Katsuragi Misato didn't understand, and glanced at Ayanami Rei beside her who was staring at the screen. "Is there anything I need to do?" Although it was a question, she placed her hands on her waist as she straightened up.

Even Ritsuko Akagi, who was rapidly collecting data on Unit-01 alongside Maya Ibuki, noticed this action. After all, Misato Katsuragi's expression was extremely grim, and she could easily draw her pistol from her waist. Rei Ayanami, standing nearby, could easily bring Misato into the firing line by simply turning slightly to the side the moment she drew her gun.

"Give her the phone." Shinji Ikari took a deep breath, turned to look at Ayase Kurosawa and Kirie Himuro, who had already appeared beside him, and nodded. He was about to forcibly take back control of Unit-01. This was something Shinji Ikari had never done in any other EVA. The berserk Unit-01, if it didn't stop on its own, was almost an uncontrollable beast. And today, he would do it! He absolutely had to do it!

"Rei, Shinji is looking for you." Misato Katsuragi didn't hesitate. Shinji Ikari knew his limits; he was the one most determined to protect the majority, and she firmly believed that.

"Shinji-kun..." Rei picked up the receiver and responded softly.

"Rei, do you like your life now?" Shinji Ikari asked a seemingly unrelated question.

"Hi..." Rei Ayanami responded without hesitation. Unlike her previous reincarnations, she now had a true friend who was genuinely close to her. Although her friend was so clingy that she found it annoying, this feeling was a completely new experience.

She has her own life now! She is the most famous signboard girl at Ryuji Car Dealership. People often come in with flowers to confess their love to her. Then, following what Shinji Ikari taught her, she tells the person that they don't need to buy flowers, they can just give her cash instead. Then, while the guy is completely bewildered, Ryuji Danma will start to chase him away.

Yes, she had a brother and sister-in-law who genuinely cared for her and raised her like a daughter. Danma Ryuji and Danma Nagisa rolled up their sleeves countless times, ready to beat up those sycophantic brats who talked nonsense to her. They worried about whether she ate well, slept well, and was warm or cold. This was something she had never experienced before.

And Shinji Ikari, who treats her like a younger sister, and her older brother's girlfriend who is always secretly on guard against her (Ryoko Sakaki: Such a cold-faced but actually clueless woman is too lethal to men...).

Of course, there's also Kurosawa Ayase, who appears in her dreams at night, chatting and playing various games with her, and always wants her to call him "sister-in-law." And there's her older sister, Himuro Kirie, who usually just watches her and Kurosawa Ayase. (Himuro Kirie, Shinji said you are his sister and I am his older sister, so you are my sister. Rei Ayanami: Hmm.)

The warm and friendly neighbors in the shopping street, who often pretend to help her taste the food but actually feed her; the McDonald's manager who always uses various magic tricks to amuse her and then gives her some simple desserts; and the shop owners who all greet her with smiles.

This was a life she had never experienced before. Unlike the past, the cold life and memories became colorful, warm, and vibrant. She had never felt this way of life before, but she liked this feeling.

"Would you be willing to join me in protecting this world until the very end?" Shinji Ikari took a deep breath. Rei Ayanami wasn't Lilith, but she was the most tangible embodiment of Lilith...

"Ok!"

Okay! Do you know what to do?

"Understood! Asuka and I will go to the Final Dogma and let Him continue to sleep."

"You've worked hard. Now we can think about the menu. It's been so long, we deserve a good meal."

"Ok!"

Chapter 441 should end now.

If we rewind a little, the Evangelion Unit-01, which had been pinned down by Blackwing Shion, was only a centimeter or two away from her with its gaping maw. It looked like it could tear off half of Blackwing Shion's neck with one bite. Coupled with the berserk and ferocious appearance of the Evangelion Unit-01, it was definitely the look of a major villain.

To be fair, after Unit-01 deployed its light wings and light ring, the war between the three giants was no longer a battlefield where weapons made by mortals could participate. Everyone stared wide-eyed. All the UN forces withdrew from the area, and the deadly forces lurking below the surface of the water received temporary orders. The massive man-made permanent fortifications on the ground also opened their roofs. Humanity's most powerful means of force was waiting for the final command.

It's not fair to blame humanity for such an extreme response, because although they don't know the details of the Winged Gods created tens of thousands of years ago, they at least know one thing: what happened during the Second Impact decades ago! The moment the first unit had a halo above its head and its wings spread out, everyone tensed up.

Everyone knows what happened during the Second Impact. Although Unit-01 is currently in a theoretically out-of-control state, after unfolding into its current form, it is undoubtedly Unit-01's most powerful form. However, the scene before them shocked everyone!

Unit-01, on the verge of triggering the Third Impact, was actually being subtly suppressed in its battle against the two so-called Winged Goddesses stolen from the MU. Keep in mind that the terrifying energy surge released by Unit-01 after losing an arm to Winged Goddesses' light blade had shocked everyone. Humanity's most powerful energy weapon didn't even possess one-tenth of that power! No! Perhaps one-hundredth or one-thousandth would be more accurate.

That's it! The Winged God Seine, no, now Ayato, who was directly hit, was completely unharmed. Almost the instant she straightened up, she retaliated with an energy shock that was also beyond human detection capabilities. This time, Unit-01's AT Field failed to block the attack. After breaking through the AT Field, the energy shock directly struck the front of Unit-01's body.

Unit-01 was thrown out, and the terrifying energy propelled it through the entire Genji Island. TERRA's headquarters hadn't been destroyed in the previous battle with the MU, but at this moment, it was almost completely wiped out in an instant by Unit-01 flying across the entire island and the subsequent energy shockwave.

As Kōdō Jin was being evacuated in a helicopter, he glanced at the headquarters, now reduced to wreckage, and a look of emotion flashed across his eyes. Shinji Ikari had notified him to evacuate immediately the moment he killed Kuki Masayoshi, the object of his long-standing hatred!

Having no regrets, he decided to see it all the way through, so he heeded Shinji Ikari's advice and flew away in the last helicopter. The intense vibrations from the energy bombardment nearly knocked the helicopter piloted by Jin to the ground, turning Shinji into a bouncy ball inside the insertion plug, and melting the armor plate on his chest, revealing the massive core of Unit-01.

"Hoo..." Shinji Ikari closed his eyes slightly, sensing the frenzied emotions within Unit-01, preparing to bring this Unit-01, which could be considered his second body, back under his control.

"Excellent! All the data is starting to reconnect. It looks like Shinji is about to... regain control of Unit-01!" Ritsuko Akagi watched as the contact wires that had been severed by Unit-01's rampage were reconnected as if by magic, her eyes shining brightly. "As expected of Shinji!"

"This is impossible! Unit-01's berserk state is reversible? Shouldn't the depth it entered be an absolutely contaminated zone?" Ibuki Maya, standing beside her, looked incredulous; this was completely different from what she had always known.

"Deep level of contamination?" A sarcastic smile crept across Ritsuko Akagi's lips. "Look up, Maya. Unit-01's current state is beyond comprehension. Whether the Third Impact occurs or not depends entirely on Shinji Ikari's decision." Ritsuko Akagi said with a smile, "Hmm, I don't have to make up stories anymore, that's good."

"Hmm..." Yes, the halo hadn't disappeared, and the wings of light hadn't faded. But as Shinji Ikari began to regain control of Unit-01 step by step, the aura on Unit-01 was rapidly increasing. As Unit-01 slowly rose from the ground, the wings of light became even larger, almost covering the entire Nejira Island.

“The degree of liberation has increased further! If this continues, even if Shinji wins, his form…” Maya turned to look at Ritsuko Akagi behind her, her eyes filled with panic.

"Katsura, how's it going on your end?" Ritsuko Akagi ignored the panicked Maya Ibuki beside her and picked up the communicator to ask about the progress on the other side.

“It went very smoothly…” Misato Katsuragi looked at Unit-00 and Unit-02 in front of her, and with the two Spears of Longinus that she had stolen from the nine mass-produced EVAs, she plunged them hard into the giant’s body in front of her.

"Was the seal successful, Rei?" Misato Katsuragi, clutching her communication headset, looked at the scene before her, her eyes narrowed, and asked warily. Her hands gripped the railing tightly, turning white between them, as if she were about to issue some special command in the next instant.

Although Rei Ayanami revealed many mysteries from the beginning, these mysteries were never explained. Even after Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami had further contact, Rei Ayanami underwent a strange change! However, after hearing Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami's conversation, Misato Katsuragi was almost drenched in cold sweat!

Rei Ayanami was actually able to have some kind of direct relationship with Lilith right in front of her?! Good heavens! NERV had all the things needed to trigger the Third Impact from the very beginning?! What a terrifying development!

"Hi! It's done! Don't be nervous, we're all in this together." If Rei Ayanami was originally a blank slate, then after coming into contact with Shinji Ikari's memories, she began to truly understand the complexities of the human world.

"That's good! That's good! Thank you for your hard work!" Misato Katsuragi let go of his hand, but it was unclear what she meant by "that's good." Did she mean that the seal on Lilith had been temporarily strengthened, or that Rei Ayanami was on their side?

"How's Shinji's battle going?" Asuka scoffed. What a damn little sister! She doesn't even care about who's actually fighting on the front lines.

"Shinji has regained control of Unit-01, but... Maya is a bit overwhelmed." Ritsuko Akagi glanced at Maya Ibuki, who had suddenly noticed something after being prompted by Ritsuko, and was frantically typing on the keyboard with a look of utter despair.

"What happened?" Misato Katsuragi was somewhat curious. What could be worse than Unit-01 going berserk and Shinji Ikari going missing?

"Oh, if there's a situation where the computer or system software malfunctions, the current synchronization rate between Unit-01 and Shinji Ikari is zero," Ritsuko Akagi said, biting off a chocolate bar with a crisp sound.

"Huh?! What happened?" Misato Katsuragi was shocked. Even if she were thrown into Unit-01, if it could be successfully activated, there would be at least a 1% synchronization rate. But this 0% synchronization rate was really a bit frightening.

“If the Winged Goddess Seine on the other side is displaying the power of a god at this moment.” Ritsuko Akagi threw away the chocolate bar and then put a cigarette in her mouth. She couldn’t hold back any longer, and she didn’t intend to hold back anymore. “A demon god is descending! In a sense, isn’t 0 also the meaning of infinity?” Hearing Ritsuko Akagi’s words, Maya Ibuki turned around in horror to look at the calm-faced Ritsuko Akagi.

As the wings unfolded, a powerful hurricane was blowing continuously from beneath Unit-01's feet in all directions. After this hurricane, containing terrifying heat, passed by, trees turned into swaying torches, and even houses built of reinforced concrete were ignited.

Even more exaggeratedly, the earth was slowly melting into a glass-like state, and even the sea a little further away was boiling like boiling water. The seawater was being violently evaporated, and long stretches of water vapor were accumulating above Genzhi Island, turning into low-lying dark clouds. Above these dark clouds, lightning snakes were rolling.

Without a doubt, this scene, combined with Unit-01's fierce aura, perfectly resembled an awakened demon from hell about to destroy everything.

"Lah!" Winged God Shion started singing first, and almost simultaneously, Black Winged Shion also began to sing. As the male and female voices mingled, the two Shions flapped their wings in unison, and an invisible energy shock immediately blasted towards Unit-01 standing on the ground.

"Ugh!" Unit-01 spread its arms, and the already vitrified soil exploded the moment the energy impact arrived, scattering everywhere. But Unit-01, which had dismounted, did something amazing: it actually used its hands to hold back the terrifying energy impact.

Of course, the two Shion units weren't blind in this situation, so they immediately increased their energy release. The Evangelion Unit-01 was not only unaffected by the powerful attacks of the two Shion units, but also stabilized the situation, giving the onlookers a terrifying look!

The energy surge released by the Winged God Seine began to spin on the palm of Unit-01, and no matter how much effort the two Winged God Seines put in, they continued to slowly rotate.

"It's time to end this!" Shinji Ikari said softly as he opened his eyes, raising his head slightly to face the two World Sounds in the sky.

Chapter 442 It's time to wake up from the dream.

As the AT Field began to shrink infinitely, the powerful spells unleashed by the two giants, Winged Zephyr and Black Winged Zephyr, slowly converged, transforming into two rapidly spinning spheres in Unit-01's palms. But that wasn't all; Shinji Ikari began to inject the extraordinary power from Unit-01's body into these two spheres.

From the outside, it appears that all of Unit-01's light wings, except for the initial pair, began to disintegrate, turning into countless specks of light. These specks were then drawn into vortices in the air. Although this seemed to weaken Unit-01's power, as if Shinji Ikari had forcibly sacrificed a portion of it, it made it less difficult for Shinji to control.

"It's coming!" As Himuro Kirie tore open his mental world, Ayato Kamina watched as his attack, which he had unleashed, was caught in Shinji Ikari's hand and was about to be returned. Ayato Kamina's face was full of bitter smiles. He and Hisahito Kisaragi had used almost all their strength in their attack, but now it not only failed to cause any damage to Shinji Ikari and Unit-01, but it seemed that it would even cause more harm.

Unbeknownst to him, Shinji Ikari's expression was also incredibly complex. He noticed that the rapidly spinning energy ball in his hand was rapidly transforming into a wing of light that resembled a curved blade. To put it bluntly, "What I wanted was two Super Solar Beams, but what you gave me is... a Rasenshuriken?!"

"I'll unleash my power! Aura: Rasenshuriken!" Shinji Ikari didn't hesitate and hurled the two orbs of light in his hands towards... no, to be precise, towards the two Seiin units in mid-air! Yes, the Kirin Arm, formed from the power of the AT Domain, disintegrated into a turret similar to the Raiden. With a barely perceptible vibration, the two Rasenshuriken tore through the air, even causing the space to tremble, and slashed towards the two Seiin units in mid-air.

"Shinji, aren't you being a little too arrogant?" While the spiral shuriken before him carried an imposing aura that even made Ayato Kamina, who had merged with Yone Xander Cage, tremble with fear—after all, it was a terrifying power gathered from Yone Xander Cage's own power plus a portion of Unit-01's self-sacrifice—its flight speed was hardly impressive. Even a normal Yone Xander Cage, not fully merged, could easily dodge it at full speed, let alone Yone Xander Cage in her current form. "Kuon, let's increase our altitude, be careful..."

"No...you're the ones who've got it wrong!" Before he could finish speaking, Ayato felt the light disappear before his eyes. Unit-01, whose entire body was radiating heat that made the surrounding air tremble, suddenly appeared in front of him and kicked him away at a super speed that Ayato could not understand at all.

For a long time, Shinji Ikari operated Unit-01, but because the synchronization rate wasn't very high, he felt like a high-P warrior, experiencing a sluggishness in his body. This was a feeling that could drive a powerful martial artist like Shinji Ikari crazy. Even when the synchronization rate was as high as 400%, he still couldn't control it completely like an extension of his own arm.

But things are completely different now. The huge egg-shaped object in front of Maya Ibuki, the former NERV headquarters, made Shinji Ikari feel for the first time that he and Unit-01 had become one! Many techniques that he hadn't dared to use before because of his sluggishness could now be fully utilized!

It was no longer just raindrops. In Ayato's perception, Unit-01's two legs took turns launching attacks. During the attacks, the legs seemed to disappear, and only dark streaks could be seen flying through the air, constantly landing on Ayato's body.

However, Ayato was completely unable to distinguish these attacks, let alone dodge or parry them. The pain signals from his body instantly blocked his nerves. By the time Ayato reacted, all that remained was a stiff, numb feeling throughout his body! Yes, in the blink of an eye, he had taken countless blows and kicks, and he could barely feel any pain anymore!

"This..." Ibuki Maya turned around and looked at Akagi Ritsuko behind her, completely bewildered. Kamina Ayato didn't know, but NERV... didn't know either. However, another piece of information they did know left them speechless: "The armor plates on the feet, calves, and thighs have collapsed, and all monitoring equipment is damaged..."

“Those are all obstacles to Shinji’s fighting ability. If they’re damaged, they’re damaged.” Ritsuko Akagi, who hadn’t smoked in a long time, took a deep drag, then exhaled a cloud of smoke, her eyes glazed over as she watched the projected battle scene. “It’s so powerful… isn’t it?”

Despite possessing world-destroying power with every move, Ayato Shinki was unable to even defend herself at this moment, and could only let Unit-01 kick her fiercely.

"Uh..." Ibuki Maya looked at the person she admired and looked up to with shock. How could Akagi Ritsuko say such a thing? Had she stopped pursuing the truth? If Ibuki Maya really asked Akagi Ritsuko, Akagi Ritsuko would probably just laugh.

After all, truth always exists; it's just that we can't understand it.

At this moment, Black Winged Seine pounced over, gathering her power once again, not only to teach Shinji Ikari a lesson but also to rescue Ayato Kamiya, who was being brutally beaten.

"Got it!" Unit-01 suddenly kicked Ayato Kamiya hard, its body rapidly rising as it rushed towards Hisahito Kisaragi, who was flying towards it at high speed.

"No! Kuon, run!" Ayato Kamina roared in anguish, clearly indicating that Shinji Ikari was determined to kill him! After the shattering of their spiritual world, only one of them could survive and decide the future of this world! Both he and Shinji Ikari were very clear about this, and words could no longer move them. The bitter smiles they exchanged at that moment were the last bit of friendship between them.

Even though he hadn't developed any real relationship with Hisako under these circumstances, he absolutely didn't want anything to happen to Hisako in front of him. He had already experienced Asahina Hiroko's tragedy once, and that was enough for him! He absolutely didn't want to experience that helplessness and powerlessness again.

(To be honest, after knowing the specific settings, looking back at the ambiguous relationship between Kisaragi Hisahi and Kamina Ayato, especially Hisahi's words to Kisaragi Itsuki at the end, "I will treat you two fairly"... Damn, what a shocking ethical story! One isn't enough, there's also a son who's like an older brother, right? I wouldn't even dare to portray it like this in anime!)

"Super! Rending Kick! Overlord! Red Ball Wave!" After sacrificing a portion of Unit-01's super-powerful energy, Shinji Ikari's ki could finally surge within Unit-01. As Shinji himself broke through the S-class barrier, his strength was growing rapidly, and finally, today, it borne fruit!

The crimson spirit ball, resembling fresh blood, trembled as if it were alive, and, swept by a hurricane that tore everything apart, struck Blackwing Shion squarely in the front!

Compared to Ayato Kamina, who has a certain foundation in fighting skills, Hisahi Kisaragi, who has always been well protected, is a woman who knows nothing about fighting skills.

"No!" The spirit ball arrived in an instant, and Ayato Kamina let out a heart-wrenching roar. His Winged God Seine burst out with unprecedented power and speed at this moment, struggling out of the downward trend after being hit by Unit-01, and rushing towards the Black Winged Seine in the air!

"Buzz!" But the speed of Winged God Seine in her God Ayato form was still at its maximum. The Spirit Ball struck the body of Black Winged Seine. For the first time since it had been hit by various attacks, the body exploded! A massive amount of flesh and blood fell towards Genji Island.

"No...no, no!" The aftershocks of the explosion also sent Ayato Kamina flying, but Ayato Kamina, who had just been feeling a little relieved that the seemingly ancient Black Winged Seine had survived the explosion, suddenly had her pupils constrict and screamed in terror.

Yes, some things may be late, but they arrive eventually!

Two spiral shuriken, carrying an aura that could tear everything apart, swept in! At this moment, Black Wing Shion had no way to dodge. Asuka Kuon was not even in the mood to maintain her balance, and her own consciousness had not yet recovered from taking the "Super Rift Kick" that had been strengthened again! Both spiral shuriken hit! The explosion of dust was suddenly shattered, and Black Wing Shion's head, with its eyes wide open, swept past Wing God Shion's side.

The intense light and the irresistible hurricane blasted Winged Goddess Seine far away in an instant. Ayato Kamina felt no pain whatsoever from the explosion; the agony in his heart overwhelmed everything else! Once again! Once again, he could only watch helplessly as it all unfolded!

"Shinji Ikari!" With his roar, the Winged God Seine unleashed boundless power, blasting through the entire sky. Even the SEELE base on the moon was struck by a force beyond anything. The old-timers who were watching from the moon were wiped out of existence before they could even react to what was happening.

"You seem to have forgotten... even if I didn't make a move, you would still kill him." Shinji Ikari didn't wait for Ayato Kamina to unleash his power before launching a spinning kick. However, it was unclear whether Ayato Kamina was actually able to match Shinji's super-fast movement or merely anticipated Shinji's move. Almost simultaneously, Ayato Kamina delivered a side kick. The two kicks collided in mid-air, and the resulting shockwave created giant waves on the sea, shattering the last remaining clouds in the sky.

"Ah!" Clearly, Ayato Kamina was no longer listening to anything! He only wanted to kill Shinji Ikari in front of him! He stopped thinking!

"It seems you're not as prepared as you thought to bear all of this." Shinji Ikari's eyes held a hint of sorrow, but his resolute fist still swung down! "Hoo, lend me your power, it's time for all dreams to end!"

Chapter 443 Towards the Future (The End)

"This is impossible!" Helena stared in disbelief at the head of the Black-Winged Worldly One smashed against the chapel. Of course, she knew what she was seeing! She knew! But it was precisely because she knew that she couldn't believe it. "How could a human possibly slay a god!"

"That only proves that this so-called god is simply not powerful enough." Helena glanced at Kisaragi, whose face was filled with great conflict. "Do you want revenge?"

"..." Ruyue Shu shook his head with a bitter smile, "It's just that I can't accept it for a while." He smiled bitterly, as if the value of his life was a backup of his "brother". It was as if by coincidence that he had formed all the ties with his brother's relatives, and then he felt like he was being harassed by a vast green grassland.

“This is impossible! I… created them! They can’t be…” Ernst von Babem was still struggling. He couldn’t accept this ending. After tens of thousands of years of waiting, he had actually been met with this? “A single World Sound cannot tune the world… That’s right, Dorem! Yes, Dorem! And Valmillion! Quick! Send them all over there!”

“The old lady seems a bit noisy.” Yakushiji Ryoko rolled her eyes. “Need any help?” Yakushiji Ryoko waved the pistol in her hand at Helena. “It’s not a good thing if things drag on.”

“No need, thank you.” Helena took out a small bottle containing a talisman from her handbag. “You’ve spent your whole life chasing after so-called divine power, so let me let you experience it for once, the power of a true god.”

"What are you doing?!" Ernst von Babem struggled to back away.

“Drink up… my father, this is spring water from Rishang Mountain, something most people aren’t even qualified to see!” Helena pinched a face that looked exactly like her own, flicked off the cork, and poured the dark spring water into her mouth.

"Heh...heh...heh..." The pitch-black night spring seemed to come alive, and after entering Erenster von Babem's body, it quickly spread, the dark patterns rapidly corroding the top-tier puppet body of the Yin-Yang Bureau.

"Tell Lord Fengshi that the contract is complete. Let me know when you need me to provide a body." Helena turned to look at the two witch spirits behind her. After the witches bowed slowly, they entered the doll's body and then disappeared.

"So now we can sit here and watch the ending in peace?" Yakushiji Ryoko crossed her arms and looked up at the sky. "Also, isn't that your secretary? My officers confiscated the knife from her. Should we put it back?"

"Huh?" Kisaragi looked behind him and paused for a moment. "Let her go. We just need to wait for the ending."

“Yes, everything is ready now. It would be really fun if Shinji Ikari lost,” Helena said with a smile.

But is it possible for Shinji Ikari to lose?
