Just as Ritsuko Akagi couldn't help but smile, Ayrin arrived with Rei Ayanami and greeted her, "Dr. Akagi, you're smiling so happily, is something good happening?"
"Of course I'm happy that Unit-00 is about to be activated." Ritsuko Akagi quickly composed herself and said politely but distantly.
She had a good impression of Yalin; after all, he was approachable, polite, and handsome.
But if the other party truly threatens Gendo Ikari, she won't hold back.
Yes, her emotions are so twisted.
Upon hearing this, Yalin gave Akagi Ritsuko a meaningful look.
Adults in this world are also somewhat abnormal, and Ritsuko is just one example.
It doesn't matter, they'll behave themselves when it gets corrected.
Then, Yalin instructed Rei Ayanami, who was standing beside him, to go to the operations room.
Gendo Ikari watched this scene without saying a word.
......
"Start-up begins!"
When Yalin arrived at the command room, Gendo Ikari adjusted his glasses and issued instructions in a calm tone, showing no sign of feigning concern for Yalin; their positions were clearly defined.
Yalin smiled, seemingly unconcerned by the other person's indifference.
He's not a narrow-minded person, he wouldn't be so petty, would he?
"Connect all power circuits."
...
"Main power connection complete, system startup in progress."
...
"Insert the insertion plug, open the spinal conduction system, begin connection with the driver, and enter the second stage system."
Inside the control room, procedures were executed rapidly.
Inside the cockpit, Rei Ayanami was soaked in LCL liquid, sensing Unit-00, but her mood was not as calm as it appeared.
This was her first time conducting such an experiment after leaving the cloning container and being adopted by Yalin; it would be a lie to say there were no fluctuations.
However, when she saw Yalin still smiling in the command room and silently saying "Go for it!" to her, she relaxed a lot and diligently completed all the instructions.
However, upon entering the third phase, Unit-00 suddenly acted strangely. Its head involuntarily rose up, staring directly at the command room, its pupils exuding an indescribable sense of intimidation.
Even Rei Ayanami couldn't control it and could only watch helplessly as Unit-00 went berserk.
"The reverse flow of the pulse begins and cannot be stopped."
In an instant, the entire command center tensed up, with warning messages popping up one after another, and no amount of attempts by the staff to stop them had any effect.
"Stop contact and immediately shut down circuits one through six."
Ritsuko Akagi's expression changed, and she immediately gave the order.
"No, the signal cannot be received."
A few breaths later, the situation completely spiraled out of control. Unit-00 went berserk, baring its teeth and claws as it struggled to break free of the restraints on its shoulders.
Seeing this, Yalin calmly shielded Gendo Ikari in front of him.
"Stop the experiment and cut off the power."
Gendo Ikari remained calm and composed as he gave his orders.
However, Unit-00 has a backup power source, so it can continue operating for a while even if the power is cut off.
During the power outage, Unit-00 seemed to have found its target and kept punching the command room with its power, almost shattering the special glass.
The others immediately fled through the window, but Gendo Ikari and Ayrin remained, displaying a composure that remained unchanged even in the face of imminent collapse.
Gendo Ikari is waiting for the right opportunity to win back Rei Ayanami's heart.
This generation of Rei Ayanami was taken away by Arlin as soon as she was born, so she had no time to develop feelings for him. Even though she inherited some of his memories from before, the effect was not significant.
If he doesn't seize the right opportunity to win over some people, his plan might be ruined.
When the insertion plug pops out, that's when he will act.
Of course, Gendo Ikari might also have a hint of concern for Rei Ayanami that he himself wasn't even sure about.
Especially as the other person grows up and becomes more and more like Yui Ikari, he occasionally experiences a momentary hallucination.
However, meal replacements cannot replace food. Gendo Ikari only has Yui Ikari in his heart, and there is no possibility of wavering, not even if he has children with Shinji.
Yalin's stay, however, surprised him somewhat.
Gendo Ikari glanced at the vice commander beside him out of the corner of his eye. The vice commander looked extremely worried, which made Gendo feel nauseous.
As the countdown for Unit-00 reached its limit, the insertion bolt ejection system finally kicked in, launching the insertion bolt into the ceiling. A few breaths later, the power burned out, and it fell to the ground.
Upon seeing this, Gendo Ikari showed an anxious and concerned expression, and wanted to leave the command room to rush over.
Before he could act, Unit-00 delivered a powerful punch, shattering the special glass into pieces.
One of the pieces flew out and embedded itself in Gendo Ikari's thigh, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground instantly.
Yalin, who was behind Gendo Ikari, narrowly escaped this calamity.
"Ayanami!" Ayarin's urgent voice rang out at that moment, and he rushed over in a panic. He didn't even glance at the fallen commander.
Gendo Ikari clutched his wound, glaring angrily at the other's figure, abandoning this opportunity to gain favor.
As Yalin rushed to the insertion plug, he endured the scalding hot hatch handle and squeezed inside to pull out the dazed girl, gently comforting her.
Seeing Yarin's fearless actions, completely lacking his usual composure and even disregarding his injured hands, the NERV members around him were deeply moved.
This vice commander truly values the first eligible candidate; the affection between the two is obvious even to outsiders.
In the command center, Gendo Ikari watched this scene with a heavy heart, his fists hardening.
These were originally his lyrics.
This guy is really getting in the way; I'll kill him sooner or later.
......
Rei Ayanami was carried to the hospital in a daze. She felt that she was fine, just a little dizzy.
However, Yalin raised a finger in a shushing gesture inside the cabin, indicating that she should cooperate.
She always obeyed Yalin's words, so she obediently let him carry her to the hospital in the ambulance.
"You're too fragile. How can you fight an Apostle like this?" Yalin looked at Rei Ayanami and decided to give her a boost.
A delicate and frail person cannot be the pilot of a giant radish, even if EVA's situation is special.
PS: I reread the TV series and the movie, as well as the various settings, so I'm writing this a bit late.
Volume 1: Chapter 94: Commander Ikari's Deep Love for His Son (4k)
In the hospital, Rei Ayanami stared blankly at the unfamiliar ceiling.
After being adopted by Yalin, the clone needed to adjust its body for a period of time at first. The clone has many defects compared to normal humans and needs regular care to survive.
In addition, their lifespan is much shorter than that of ordinary humans, and they are more prone to various diseases.
After the two spent some time together, Yalin found a way to solve the defects of the clone, making her not much different from a normal person.
After that, Rei Ayanami rarely came to the hospital.
"Here you go!" Yalin peeled an apple and handed one slice to Rei Ayanami.
Under his guidance, Rei Ayanami was actually fine; the one who suffered the most serious injuries was Gendo Ikari.
However, there are advantages to having Rei Ayanami feign illness. As an experimental unit, Unit-00's combat power is inferior to that of Unit-01 and Unit-02.
Given Rei Ayanami's current condition, she is unable to defeat the Angel; she needs Yalin to give her a buff.
He has mastered many power systems, and several of them can be modified and adapted to this world, so choosing the right one is not a problem.
While it's impossible for him to contend with the Angels on his own in a short time, his combat power increases considerably after piloting an EVA.
Not to mention, in truly dangerous moments, there's always Yalin's mechanical intervention.
Teaching Rei Ayanami a completely different system was also a way of testing Lilith's soul state.
In the entire EVA world, only these two founders are unfathomable to him. One of the reasons for adopting Rei Ayanami was that he wanted to study Lilith up close.
As Rei Ayanami took a bite of the apple, Ayrin selected a training method, then looked at the girl's puffed-up cheeks and asked a question.
"Ayanami, do you crave power?"
Rei Ayanami blinked, unsure of the meaning of those words.
However, since Yalin had already asked, she obediently cooperated, and after thinking for a moment, she asked hesitantly, "I crave power?"
This answer should please Yalin.
"Over the next period of time, I will teach you a breathing training method that can greatly improve your physical and mental condition, and at the same time teach you how to fight."
Yarin imparted the training methods of the new era empire in the world of Akame ga Kill! to Rei Ayanami.
After his adjustments, Rei Ayanami's physical attributes were among the best of humans, not to mention her mental abilities.
Possessing Lilith's soul, even without awakening it, it is incredibly powerful.
This training method is perfect for improving skills and can also reduce some unimportant troubles.
Gendo Ikari will never give up on Rei Ayanami. When he has nowhere else to go, he will probably choose to eliminate this generation of Rei Ayanami and allow a new clone to appear.
After all, with each death, the soul loses most of its memories.
If the new Rei Ayanami is properly trained, she could very well become a willing puppet and thus achieve his goals.
Therefore, Rei Ayanami needs to have the ability to protect herself in case of emergency.
The cloning workshop has been taken over by Vice Commander Yalin, and even the puppet system is openly under his jurisdiction.
It can be said that Yalin's arrival resulted in a significant loss of power for Gendo Ikari.
This was something he absolutely could not accept, but Ritsuko Akagi secretly set up a backup plan, which made Gendo Ikari compromise temporarily.
