The Collection of The End

——2016.4.1——

Nerv headquarters, special ICU ward.

Drop, drop, drop...

Hmm...familiar ceiling.

Following the hum of some unknown instrument, Shinji Ikari opened his eyelids with difficulty, looked at the ceiling lamp above his head that emitted pale white light, and then closed his eyes again.

As long as he is not an apostle who can be easily defeated, he will definitely end up in the ICU at the end of the fight. This has become a routine, even if EVA does not dispatch at all this time.

However, this time the damage seemed to be greater. At this time, even if he was lying motionless on the hospital bed, he could feel that his limbs were very heavy and he could hardly move. Even opening his eyes would make him feel tired.

Maybe it’s because this battle is much more dangerous than the battle against the apostles. Usually, even if something goes wrong in reality, there are “superpower cards” to cover it up, but I just used the cards to fight against “Eve” who gave me this ability. ?

The winner in the end must have been because the opponent gave in.

Eve will directly enter the club classroom, probably just because she has the superpower given by her, and the connection is too close to be isolated by Xiao Ayanami, so she will come to have a duel before launching the "Third Impact" to confirm whether she is Needs to be "reset".

If she had lost at that time, "Eve" would undoubtedly have ignored Xiao Ayanami's protection and taken her away.

Shinji Ikari thought about it carefully again.

At that time, Nagisa Kaoru, who left early, should have returned to the future, and Kirishima's real name and little Ayanami...

Hmm... wait, what happened after I defeated "Eve" in a duel?

At that time, we were clearly in the absolutely safe classroom of the literary club. Why was he in the ICU ward after he regained consciousness?

"Eve" beat herself up in anger because she lost the duel?

No, that's impossible. The "Eve" that appeared at that time didn't seem to have self-awareness at all. The words when playing cards and explaining were all rigid and mechanical pronunciation.

after all--

Huh...hiss...

When Shinji Ikari closed his eyes and thought, he heard a slight breathing coming from beside him.

Why does this situation seem so familiar? As expected...

Shinji Ikari tried his best to open his eyes and turned his head to look to his side.

A very familiar girl with short blue hair was sleeping beside his bed. She used her arms as a pillow, only half of her fair face was exposed, her eyes were slightly closed, her thin lips were slightly open, and she was making a thin sound of airflow with her breathing.

"..." Shinji Ikari subconsciously raised his heavy arm to touch her, but he took it back halfway.

ha! Don't try to lie to me, she is definitely Xiao Ayanami. She is just waiting for her to make some move, and then suddenly jumps up and slaps her head and scolds her, right?

I have completely seen through this trap!

"Ayanami, Ayanami?" Shinji Ikari called.

"Well..." The blue-haired girl's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes. She sat up with a bit of confusion in her eyes and looked at Shinji Ikari: "Are you awake? Congratulations, mother and son are safe."

Shinji Ikari's first thought was:

Damn information integration thought body!

And the second thought is:

wrong! This is Rei Ayanami himself! You shouldn't have stopped just now! Big loss!

——

"You know what? Eve's deck is outrageous,"

Because Rei Ayanami wanted to know what happened in the "closed space", Shinji Ikari briefly told what happened, and then started to complain endlessly:

"The attack and defense are zero, but the card is still a cute-looking girl. As a result, whether it is attacking or applying effects, she can turn around and transform into a blue-eyed white dragon with 3000 attack."

"Blue-eyed girl."

"And that dragon, show me that the blue-eyed white dragon in her hand can be summoned directly, and she can destroy monsters without attacking. Why?"

"Blue-eyed Asia White Dragon."

"I finally recruited a Chaos Black Magician, but she took away the 'Chaos Form' and summoned a Blue-eyed Chaos Dragon. The double defense penetration almost scared me to death."

"It's the 'Blue Eyes Chaos Extreme Dragon'."

"By the way, she can also use fusion. The monster called the Blue-Eyed Two-Headed Dragon can't be destroyed by the battle. After the battle, she forcibly eliminates the enemy. She just spent her health points to eliminate my Rainbow New Universe."

"It's the 'Blue Eyes Double Explosion Dragon'."

"The most terrifying thing is the 'Blue-Eyes Ultra Dragon' paired with 'Ultimate Explosion'. It has an attack of 4500 three times in one round. It is not allowed to activate strange magic traps and monster effects. If it is hit by it, it will be dead immediately."

"oh?"

"Fortunately, I was more skilled. I activated the 'New Universe Expansion' in advance to summon a human shield before entering the battle and saved my life."

"I see."

"Then, I turned around and activated 'Super Fusion', merging the Ultra Dragon and the Chaos Warrior into the 'Ultimate Dragon Knight'. That is a big monster with 5,000 attacks."

"Um."

"In the end, she somehow recruited a 'Abyss-Eyed White Dragon', and both parties perished together, tsk."

"Then what?"

"Hehe, the next step is the highlight. To put it simply, through a series of operations, I summoned the Titan Soldier, the Winged Divine Dragon and the Sky Dragon at the same time, and then used them as sacrifices to summon the 'Creator of Light Ha" Lakti', won the final victory."

"Yeah?"

"Yes, 'Eve' left after that, and then..." Shinji Ikari scratched his head: "I can't remember what happened after that, you know?"

"Yes," Ayanami Rei nodded: "At that time, the Earth Alliance sent twelve 'eva mass production machines' modified from the remains of the sixth apostle to attack Nerv."

"What!" The girl's careless words almost made Shinji Ikari jump: "How dare they?"

"Of course it was an unauthorized action, and Ms. Yui Ikari was completely unaware of it," Rei Ayanami replied: "It was later confirmed that it was the '17th Apostle' who directly interfered with the minds of the person in charge and related personnel."

"Nagisa Kaoru... No, is he the 'Seventeenth Apostle' of our world line?" Shinji Ikari frowned.

After scanning the human mind, Nagisa Kaoru's world line gave birth to humanoid apostles who could look fake and real, while on his side, apostles were born who could interfere with the minds of ordinary people and know how to fight in roundabout ways. They all took the opposite direction, but they also chose to Why don't you confront EVA directly?

"Speaking of which, you still know him. The name of the 'Seventeenth Apostle' is 'Aida Kensuke'," Rei Ayanami paused for a moment: "Because he is indeed a human being, but his spirit has been replaced by an apostle. He can also be called 'Dark Darkness'." ·Aida Kensuke' or 'ri·Aida Kensuke'."

"Don't just include private goods in this kind of intelligence!" Shinji Ikari said angrily: "Then what? How is he? No, how are the twelve mass-produced machines handled?"

"They were all killed by Asuka piloting Unit 2." Rei Ayanami answered.

"All?" Shinji Ikari blinked: "Even if the mass-produced machine is weaker, but a pair of twelve?"

"The mass-produced machine cut off the power of the No. 2 machine at the beginning, so that it could only move for six minutes. Then it continued to adopt long-range forward tactics until the built-in battery of the No. 2 machine ran out." Rei Ayanami said.

"Then...then?" Even though he knew that he would win in the end, Shinji Ikari still felt a little nervous.

"Then, the 'third impact' occurred in the 'closed space'," Ayanami Rei looked out the window: "At the same time, Unit 2 went on a 'runaway' just like you did those few times."

"No, it's impossible..." Shinji Ikari scratched his head.

Chance No. 1 went berserk because he was playing cards inside, but Asuka? He was the only normal person in the "EVA Drivers Club" called "Literary Club".

Just like scratching and scratching in Unit 1?

"No," Rei Ayanami said: "The weapon of Unit 2 is still its 'Utility Knife', but the posture of the machine body has become like some kind of beast, the speed is extremely fast, the light of the knife can not only draw all kinds of shapes in the air The letters with astonishing destructive power can also cause a huge explosion after being penetrated into the body of a mass-produced machine."

"...Then, where is Asuka?" Shinji Ikari felt a little sweaty and felt that there was no need to ask about the fate of the mass-produced machine.

"She was still conscious at the time, and kept shouting in the communication channel, 'Have you seen it all along? Mom!', 'This is me! The real me!', 'Well done, good girl!', and the highest synchronization rate was once Reached 400%." ​​Ayanami Rei didn't look like those roars at all, but because his tone was too calm, it seemed a bit scary.

"Yes, then?" Shinji Ikari wiped his sweat.

"After destroying all the apostles and going on a rampage, she fell into a coma and hasn't woken up yet." Ayanami Rei tilted her head: "She lives next door to you. You can go and see her when you have the strength."

"No, I won't go." Shinji Ikari expressed his determination quickly.

Even if I want to go, I can't admit it in front of Ayanami. This is a matter of principle.

"As for Kensuke Aida, he was detained by the Ground Alliance military," Rei Ayanami seemed not to care about Shinji Ikari's determination and continued: "He is still conscious, but he claims that he does not remember anything. The military representative is still talking to him. Commander Ikari was arguing with each other about this matter, and both sides accused the other of attacking them first."

"Haha, with those twelve mass-production machines here, it's useless for them to say anything." Shinji Ikari laughed.

Ayanami Rei stared at him without speaking.

"Wait...beast posture...can't do it?" Shinji Ikari was in a daze.

"Yes," Rei Ayanami replied: "Unit No. 2 ate all twelve mass-produced EVAs during its rampage, and the remaining remains cannot be used as evidence to accuse the Allied Forces."

"..." Shinji Ikari frowned: "Wait? Where is the driver of the mass-produced machine? Did he eat it too?"

"There is no driver," Rei Ayanami replied: "They use an 'autonomous driving system dummysystem' with a built-in false simulated personality."

"...Who is simulating?"

"I."

"..."

"Bless the data sent by Ryoji."

"Okay..." Shinji Ikari pressed his forehead: "I'll go back and find a way to find Misato-san and Ritsuko-san to accuse him, and then let my mother put on some shoes for him."

"Well," Rei Ayanami said without comment, "As for what exactly happened in the 'closed space', I don't know, but since the 'third impact' has 'happened', then the world is safe."

"We're not going to be 'unemployed', are we?" Shinji Ikari thought of what happened in "Another World Line".

"No," Rei Ayanami raised his hand and pointed upward: "What we have to deal with next is the 'Weave of Life', the 'Instrument of Thirst', the 'Eating Evil of the World', the 'Whisper of the Void' and them 's minions."

"Why are they added? What are those three things at the end that don't sound good?" Shinji Ikari complained loudly.

"This is what I learned about after the 'Third Impact' occurred, other 'existences outside the world' that once destroyed our world." Rei Ayanami replied.

"Huh? In other words..." Shinji Ikari frowned.

"After 'avoiding the third impact', there will be 'woven threads of life' that will appear and destroy the world, but these are the enemies that will appear if 'the world still exists after the third impact'." Rei Ayanami replied.

"That's it..." Shinji Ikari hesitated, hesitated for more than ten seconds before asking: "In a world where 'the world still exists after the impact', are you... are you okay? "

"I don't know." Ayanami Rei shook his head.

"I don't know? Could it be..." Shinji Ikari seemed to have thought of something, but he didn't dare to say it.

"As the incarnation of Eve, under normal circumstances, I will disappear after launching the third impact, so I have no memory of the other three world-destroying existences." Ayanami Rei looked at him: "So, I am also the third person in this world line. Once you go in, you have no idea what to expect.”

"Sure enough, it's because I brought little Ayanami here." Shinji Ikari tried to put some gold on his face.

"Perhaps this is the case. This kind of thing has never happened in any world line in the past, so I said she is 'the hope of breaking reincarnation.'" Ayanami Rei nodded: "But currently, it seems that because there are three other The existence of world-destroying things still cannot be said to be successful.”

"Hmm..." Shinji Ikari thought hard: "You said you have never reached the world line where the world after the impact still exists, so what happened to these world lines?"

"It was destroyed by three kinds of world-destroying existence, or the 'Fourth Impact' was artificially triggered," Ayanami Rei replied: "After that, it will be traced back to the time when the 'Second Impact' occurred."

"The fourth impact?! Why?" Shinji Ikari asked in shock.

"Because..." Rei Ayanami's eyes lost focus, as if he was browsing the sea of ​​information he had just received: "When Nerv was unable to fight against those 'world-destroying existences', he chose to die with them."

"I can't tell that dad still has such courage." Shinji Ikari smacked his lips.

"It's not Commander Ikari," Rei Ayanami exited the "browsing state" and blinked: "It's you."

"Huh? I am the nerv commander? Shouldn't it be Kirishima's real name?" Shinji Ikari asked doubtfully.

"The position of Nerv Commander is held by you in 67% of the world lines, Misato Katsuragi in 20% of the world lines, and Ryouji Kaji in 10% of the world lines." Rei Ayanami replied.

"Okay, the undercover agent has become the boss." Shinji Ikari smacked his lips.

"In addition..." Rei Ayanami looked at him: "You married Asuka in 40% of the world lines, married Misato Katsuragi in 30% of the world lines, married Kirishima's real name in 20% of the world lines, and 10% of the world lines. % married various other women."

"..."
