"Shinji, Tokyo has become hell. If you don't act quickly, the whole world might be destroyed. Humanity depends on you now," Misato Katsuragi shouted.

Despite his fear, Shinji had no choice but to go after Misato since she had said so.

Chapter 52: The Destruction of Congress

(The Japanese version of Godzilla's ultimate attack is "radiation heat ray". I made a mistake before. Thank you for pointing it out, fellow readers.)

When Shinji Ikari saw Tokyo engulfed in flames, his mind went blank; he didn't even know how to react to the scene.

He just wanted to know if his classmates... or some of his friends were still alive.

The smell of burning filled the air. Shinji Ikari's hands trembled uncontrollably, he had difficulty breathing, and his emotions were extremely unstable.

"Shinji! Don't panic. Just treat the enemy as an Angel. If you can't stop this monster, even more people will die in the future!" Misato Katsuragi shouted. "Prepare to fire!"

Shinji Ikari nervously picked up his gun and aimed it at the monster in the distance.

"Fire!"

Shinji Ikari pulled the trigger, and bullets rained down on Shin-chan's back.

Yamabuki Kerria turned around, looking very unhappy: "Who was that blind fool who shot me in the back?"

"Monitor the target's physical condition."

"The target was not damaged in any way, and their armor was not scratched," Ritsuko Akagi said in a heavy tone.

Everyone was puzzled by this suddenly appearing unknown monster.

Nobody knows where this thing came from.

Just like when humanity first faced the apostles.

However, at least back then, humans had the Dead Sea Scrolls as an instruction manual, but now they have nothing.

"Prepare for close combat," Misato Katsuragi shouted.

Unit-01 pulled out its high-frequency vibrating blade and charged towards Hanako Yamabuki.

Although the high-frequency vibration blade is a melee weapon, it deals high damage and can easily pierce the core of an apostle, so it should be effective against this monster.

Unit-01 strode up to Makoto and plunged the high-frequency vibrating blade in its hand directly into Makoto's forehead.

Then I heard a "click".

The knife broke.

Broken blades were scattered all over the ground, and Shinji Ikari stood there, bewildered.

Even an apostle wouldn't be this resilient!

What kind of monster is this? If I can't stop it here, even more people will die.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

Shinji Ikari attributed the deaths to himself, saying that if he had arrived sooner, so many people wouldn't have died.

In a fit of emotional breakdown, Shinji Ikari attacks Shin-chan in a frenzy.

Unit-01 is the strongest fighter. Every attack it makes the ground tremble. Shin-chan stands still and lets him hit her.

"Report on the target's status." A bad feeling rose in Misato Katsuragi's heart.

"The target is intact. Unit-01's attack did not cause any damage to the target." Ritsuko Akagi frowned.

Suddenly, Yamabuki Hanajin reached out and grabbed Unit-01 by the neck.

"Pitch on Earth!"

The 120-meter-tall Godzilla is completely outclassed by the 80-meter-tall Evangelion Unit-01.

Yamabuki Hanajin grabbed Unit-01 by the neck and slammed it to the ground, causing the entire ground to tremble.

"Unit-01's armor is 37% damaged. The restraints are broken; we do not recommend continuing the fight," Ritsuko Akagi said immediately.

EVA is not armor in the true sense, but rather a creature wearing armor. The restraints are used to restrain Unit-01's power. If Unit-01 were to go berserk, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Gendo Ikari was still posing there, not saying a word, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Commander, should we order Unit-01 to retreat?" Misato Katsuragi asked with a worried expression.

"No, continue the fight." Gendo Ikari said calmly, showing no concern whatsoever for his beloved son who was desperately piloting Unit-01.

Ritsuko Akagi remained silent and continued analyzing the data.

“No, it has absolutely no weaknesses. This kind of life form is probably even more terrifying than the Apostles. It is simply not an enemy that humanity can defeat.” Ritsuko Akagi said with a tense expression.

However, this was just the beginning. After knocking down Unit-01, Shin-chan did not give chase and continued walking towards the Capitol Building.

Regardless, let's level that place first.

Shinji Ikari lay on the ground feeling like all the bones in his body were about to fall apart. To pilot an EVA, a certain level of assimilation is required, but the higher the assimilation level, the more realistic the pain feels when the EVA is injured.

"Get up! Shinji! Get up now! Only you can save humanity now!" Misato Katsuragi shouted.

Shinji Ikari gritted his teeth: "No! All you do is hide in the back and give orders! You never have to face such a terrifying monster! It's only natural that I win! And when I lose, you call me a piece of trash! I've had enough of this kind of life!"

Misato Katsuragi was speechless after being rebuked, and could only look helplessly at Gendo Ikari.

Gendo Ikari said expressionlessly, "Change pilots. Rei, you'll pilot Unit-01. The salvage of Unit-00 will take some time. Shinji Ikari, get out of Unit-01 immediately, pack your bags and get out of here. I don't have time for trash like you."

Shinji Ikari looked at his indifferent father and felt extremely frustrated.

Why can't you praise me?

If you just give me a little praise, I might just get back up!

Ritsuko Akagi calmly said, "There's good news and bad news. The good news is that the monster hasn't continued its attack on Unit-01, but the bad news is that it's heading straight for the Diet Building. If the Diet Building is attacked, our future situation will be very awkward."

"Don't bother with those good-for-nothings," Gendo Ikari said coldly.

He belongs to the Human Completion Committee.

They don't care about the small Congress at all.

It doesn't matter how many of these people die.

Shinji Ikari is an indispensable part of the future plan, so how can we help our son regain his confidence?

Should we yell at him a few more times?

I really don't know how to communicate with children.

It has to be said that very few people in the entire series are mentally sound.

Hiring a psychologist doesn't cost much, you could even get one for free!

Yamabuki Hanakami took a deep breath and prepared the radiation heat beam.

A purple ray shot out from his mouth; wherever his atomic breath passed, nothing grew, and everything was reduced to ashes!

The Capitol Building vanished in an instant!

All the politicians and officials inside died instantly.

On this day, humanity recalled the fear of being dominated by the Titans.

We've run out of options.

How to do?

“Shinji! Listen to me… I know you’re in pain, but don’t be in pain. Can you just stand by and watch millions die because of you? Even if you don’t know these people, what about your classmates? What about your teachers? What about your friends? Someone has to do these things. Shinji, you’re the only one who can pilot Unit-01. Now we can only ask you for help! Running away won’t help. You have to muster up the courage to face it!” Misato Katsuragi said.

Rei Ayanami was completely incapable of piloting Unit-01, and Gendo Ikari knew this as well.

“Miss Misato…” Shinji Ikari didn’t want to run away either.

But reality is just too cruel.

I felt like a puppet, completely powerless to resist the cold, hard reality.

"Think of your two friends! Kensuke, and Touji..."

Encouraged by Misato Katsuragi, Shinji Ikari was forced to stand up again.

Chapter 53: How about trying to save the world?

Ritsuko Akagi said in a low voice, "Miri, isn't it a bit despicable of you to say that?"

Misato Katsuragi was indeed good to Shinji Ikari, but this "goodness" was not without ulterior motives.

Shinji Ikari was ultimately just a tool, and Misato Katsuragi was simply more gentle when using that tool.

Misato Katsuragi did not refute, her heart was filled with self-blame, but there was nothing she could do.

Shinji Ikari is the only one capable of stopping the monsters, and no matter how despicable the means, we must provoke Shinji's fighting spirit.

"How long will it take to salvage Unit 0?" Misato Katsuragi changed the subject.

“It will take at least another half hour before we can be deployed in actual combat.” Ritsuko Akagi paused slightly after saying this: “Commander, what if EVA fails to stop the monsters in the end? We must have a way out.”

Gendo Ikari remained silent. The current situation was completely outside his plans, and he didn't know what to do if the monster really destroyed the world.

Apostles, monsters, EVA, Adam, Lilith... it really is an era of chaotic exorcism.

Looking at the devastated Tokyo, Yamabuki Hanajin felt a sense of pleasure.

It's not even 8 o'clock yet, which means there are still 16 hours until noon. What should I do during this time?

Just as Yamabuki Hanajin was contemplating life, Unit-01 stood up.

Despite being extremely unwilling, he still chose to save the world.

"Huh? How did you wake up? Actually, you could have just stayed asleep on the ground. I don't want to fight you right now," said Yamabuki Hanajin.

However, as monsters, the two sides are unable to communicate at all.

Seeing Unit-01 charging towards them, Kagami Yamabuki could only throw a heat ray at it.

Unit-01's body was instantly split in two, cut in half at the waist.

The degree of assimilation between Shinji Ikari and Unit-01 is extremely high, and the higher the degree of assimilation, the greater the pain.

What does it feel like to be instantly cut in half?

It is said that being cut in half at the waist is one of the most painful ways to die.

Shinji Ikari's brain was trembling. Even though he wasn't really dead, just experiencing pain, it still drove him almost insane.

Misato Katsuragi couldn't bear to watch any longer and covered her eyes with her hands.

Other staff members couldn't bear to see Unit-01 being cut in half, and their faces showed expressions of pain.

Unit-01 has completely lost its combat capability.

"It's over! Human civilization is over!" Ritsuko Akagi took out a cigarette from her pocket, lit it gently, and took a deep drag.

After defeating Unit-01, Yamabuki Hanajiki began to ponder what she should do next and how to proceed. With so much time still remaining, it seemed that being too powerful wasn't always a good thing.

"How about I save the world?" Yamabuki Hanajin slammed her fist into her palm.

Anyway, this world will be destroyed sooner or later.

The Human Completion Project succeeded, everyone turned into orange juice, and human civilization perished.

The Angels attack, and Shinji Ikari pilots Unit-01 into battle. The Third Impact erupts, nearly wiping out humanity; if Shinji hadn't fought in Unit-01, humanity would certainly have perished.

Fourteen years after the Third Impact.

Shinji Ikari followed his father, sacrificing Asuka, Rei Ayanami, Kaworu Nagisa, and Misato Katsuragi, which triggered the Fourth Impact, resulting in the extinction of humanity.

Shinji Ikari follows Misato Katsuragi, choosing not to pilot Unit-01. Gendo Ikari will complete the Human Perfection Project, leading to the extinction of humanity.

Human: What the hell did I do to deserve this?!

Shinji Ikari truly deserves the title of the most tragic male protagonist in the world of anime.

No matter which choice you make, you'll be the one to take the blame.

No matter which choice is made, humanity will be destroyed.

No matter what choice you make, you can't save yourself, nor can you save the people you cherish.
