They believed that the core parts were only handed over to Yalin on the surface, but were still kept in his hands.
Out of fear of Seele, and also because it would be some time before the Apostles made their official appearance.
Gendo Ikari knew that it wasn't time to completely break off relations yet.
Even though he was the thirteenth in Seele, he was only the person directly in charge of executing the plan.
If the remaining twelve seats were to unite their power, they could overthrow the entire human civilization.
Before achieving his goal, he had to be patient and at least not openly confront Seele.
Yalin was very curious about how long the other party could endure.
......
When Rei Ayanami was hospitalized, Gendo Ikari would occasionally come to her room, leaning on a cane and limping, to show his concern.
He personally took care of Rei Ayanami, and even though she had died once, she still retained some memories of him, so Rei Ayanami did not refuse his visit.
However, compared to Yalin, she clearly no longer had any feelings for Gendo Ikari.
This greatly disappointed Gendo Ikari, but he outwardly maintained a concerned attitude, a stark contrast to his past image as a commander, and acted like a kind father.
Depending on the situation, he would also change his image to suit the person's preferences. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become a NERV succubus, capturing and exploiting the Akagi mother and daughter, both top scientists.
Although he was introverted and had obsessive thoughts, he was quite adept at dealing with women.
He was devoted to Ikari in his heart, but he didn't care about physical intimacy.
Unfortunately, with Yalin around, Gendo Ikari's actions have consistently yielded little result.
"Commander Ikari, I heard you're devoted to Dr. Ikari, you're truly infatuated." Outside the ward, Yalin greeted Gendo Ikari, who had come to visit.
Gendo Ikari's face was expressionless; he had no intention of speaking to Yarin at all.
“However, Dr. Yui Ikari has passed away. We can’t dwell on the past forever. We always have to look forward.” Yalin didn’t seem to mind his indifference and offered words of comfort.
Upon hearing this, Gendo Ikari stopped in his tracks, his eyes fixed on Yalin with a dark expression.
This was his greatest pain, and no one dared to mention it to him easily, let alone with Yalin's mocking attitude.
For Gendo Ikari, Yui Ikari is the angel in his life, the only light, and he will never allow anyone to look down on her.
Although he pursued Akagi and her daughter after Yui's death, neglecting Shinji and using them all as tools to achieve his goals, he was seen as a complete scumbag by those with ulterior motives.
But all of this was for the sake of seeing Yui Ikari and being with her forever.
He can do things that betray Yui Ikari, but others can't say anything about it.
"What do you think of Dr. Akagi? She visited you every day while you were in the hospital; her feelings are obvious." Yalin met Gendo Ikari's gaze sincerely, his tone utterly sincere. "Aren't you moved by such affection?"
At the corner of the corridor, Ritsuko Akagi, who was searching for Gendo Ikari, heard these words and temporarily abandoned her plan to reveal herself, quite satisfied with Ayrin's words.
She approved of that vision.
“Deputy Commander Yalin, this is none of your business. Just do your job.” Gendo Ikari said stiffly, his gaze toward Yalin growing colder, as if he were looking at a dead man.
"Don't be so cold. I mean well. I want Commander Ikari to have a happy family again before he completes the Human Rights Project."
Yalin smiled, seemingly unaware of the anger in Gendo Ikari's eyes.
He really didn't have any bad intentions; he just wanted to test how thick Gendo Ikari's heart wall was.
"Dr. Akagi is deeply in love with you, it's not good to drag this out."
If you're willing, then agree; if you're not, then make a clean break.
"You can't be that kind of scum who plays with women; it would damage the reputation of NERV and the Ikari family." Yalin said earnestly, pressing down on Gendo Ikari's cane at some point.
"If Dr. Yui Ikari could know this from beyond the grave, he would hope that you could find a peaceful resting place so that you could emerge from the shadows."
By the way, I heard that Dr. Yui Ikari and you have a son. You must have a lot of experience in raising children. Let's exchange ideas sometime...
These words struck a nerve with Yui Ikari, making him unable to bear it any longer.
Gendo Ikari's face turned ashen. He pulled his cane out with all his might, wanting to demonstrate his five-strike technique to Yalin in front of him, but no matter how hard he tried, the cane wouldn't budge.
You can only continue to listen to Yalin's seemingly well-intentioned advice with a sense of frustration.
If the other party hadn't been highly regarded by SEELE, Gendo Ikari would have already tried to kill him.
Even so, we have now reached the threshold of tolerance.
Around the corner, Ritsuko Akagi was pondering Arin's words and felt that he made sense.
How can the living compete with the dead? No matter how hard she tried, she could never compare to Yui in Gendo's heart. Who could understand the bitterness in this?
"let go!"
Gendo Ikari took a deep breath, his tone unfriendly. His pupils, hidden behind his glasses, stared coldly at Yalin, creating an immense sense of oppression.
An ordinary person would probably be frightened by this.
"Sigh, Commander, you're just too stubborn. That's why Speaker Kiro sent me to assist you," Yalin said, patting Gendo Ikari on the shoulder with a regretful expression.
"We are all colleagues carrying out a great mission, so we should get along well."
Get along with me?!
Gendo Ikari remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he felt as if his shoulders were about to be shattered, and he gritted his teeth and endured it.
There was no need to fight this man who was destined to die, and Gendo Ikari's murderous intent began to rise.
Seeing that Yalin was still holding onto his crutch, he could only angrily put it down and limp back home, leaning against the wall for support.
I should have come in a wheelchair.
As he reached the corner, he found Ritsuko Akagi already waiting there, holding his arm with a worried expression.
"Are you alright? Yalin was so reckless with his words." Ritsuko Akagi scolded Yalin, but in reality, her words were even harder to suppress than AK's.
It would be a lie to say that she harbored no resentment or hatred towards Gendo Ikari; her mother's suicide had left her deeply troubled.
In addition, Gendo Ikari has never truly expressed his love for her over the years, and his attitude only softens when he needs her help, which has caused her to accumulate a lot of negative emotions.
Even though Ritsuko Akagi had come to visit him these past few days, Gendo Ikari remained indifferent, completely ignoring her kindness.
Yalin was practically her mouthpiece, saying all her thoughts.
Therefore, even though Gendo Ikari looked displeased, Ritsuko Akagi couldn't help but laugh.
Only in this way can her importance be highlighted.
“Go back!” Gendo Ikari said in a deep voice.
After being patted a few times by Yalin, he felt that his injuries had worsened and he needed to rest for a while.
......
"As expected of the boss of EVA, his patience is truly impressive." Yalin sighed as he watched the disappearing figure.
His words were clearly aimed at Gendo Ikari's sensitive spots, but to his surprise, the other party didn't explode on the spot.
This person is cunning and scheming; he must not be allowed to live!
However, this is also because Yalin's aggression is not high enough.
If he were to pilot Unit-01, I wonder if the commander's mental fortitude would be strong enough to prevent him from breaking through.
Thinking about it that way is actually quite exciting.
As for the retaliation and trouble that would follow, Yalin wasn't too concerned. He was willing to deal with whatever came his way, and he wanted to see what kind of trouble the other side could pull off.
Unfortunately, amidst the anticipation and scrutiny, Gendo Ikari did not make any drastic moves, only occasionally causing minor incidents in an attempt to make Yarin die unexpectedly, using underhanded methods.
After all, we have to consider Seele's attitude and can't go too far.
Seeing this, Yalin sighed. "That's it?"
He then patiently taught Rei Ayanami and waited for the arrival of the Angel.
According to the Dead Sea Scrolls, the first to arrive was a water angel, the unfortunate creature that made Unit-01 infamous for its rampage.
......
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Shinji Ikari receives a letter from his father and heads to Tokyo-3, thus officially beginning the story.
"Ayanami, just pilot Unit-00 with a calm mind. The Water Angel is no problem for you."
After breakfast, Yalin encouraged Rei Ayanami.
Although his intervention weakened Rei Ayanami's Heart Wall considerably, and theoretically her AT Field was also less effective than before.
But Yalin can pull strings behind the scenes!
Moreover, during this time, Yalin's training of Rei Ayanami not only enhanced her strength but also allowed her to begin to awaken the essence of Lilith's soul, making her capable of unleashing power far exceeding her previous abilities.
It's hard to say about the apostles that follow, but they're more than capable of dealing with the water angels.
Unlike his original fate, Gendo Ikari will most likely send Rei Ayanami to the field after failing to gain her trust.
Ideally, Rei Ayanami should be killed in battle so that a new clone can take her place.
However, Rei Ayanami's performance next will definitely surprise everyone.
Rei Ayanami was not surprised by Arlin's words and nodded quietly.
If Yalin is so certain, then there must be no problem.
During this time, Yalin imparted to her indescribable abilities, making her incredibly energetic and mentally vibrant, as if she had broken free of her own shackles.
In this situation, even piloting Unit-00 will not cause it to go berserk again.
Therefore, she will bring victory to Yalin.
......
"At 12:30 PM today, an emergency warning was issued for the entire central Kanto region, centered on the Tokai area. Residents..."
Alarms were sounded in Tokyo-3 and the surrounding area, signaling the arrival of the Angels.
Following instructions, Misato Katsuragi drove to pick up Shinji Ikari. For someone with a terrible sense of direction like her, this was no easy task.
Even if you follow the navigation, you can't find anyone for a long time.
By the time she picked up the person, the Water Angel had already landed and was heading towards Tokyo-3, engaging in fierce fighting with the UN forces.
Countless missiles and artillery shells rained down on the Water Angel, but to no avail.
