#743 - Negotiations as expected
“Our goals shouldn't conflict, right? If you just want to survive the threat of the Apostles…”
Looking at Kozo Fuyutsuki beside him, Liang Yue smiled and said.
In fact, the goal of most of the humans in the Evangelion world is the same: to seek survival and maintain a peaceful and stable human society.
There is no doubt about this~
Only those who are psychologically twisted, cannot distinguish between priorities, and are extremely selfish would pursue personal plans under this common vision of all mankind.
To put it nicely, it's for love, for reuniting with one's wife.
Seeing that the end of the world is coming, the greatest wish is still to be in love and to be with one's lover.
Well, it has the flavor of the Sea Cliff Fortress~
But to put it bluntly, isn't it just selfishness?
For this reason, even one's own son can be schemed against…
In addition, the group in SEELE is also not good. They are disturbing the peace of the entire world with just a volume of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
They hide in dark rooms all day long, plotting conspiracies to subvert the world.
Putting aside everything else, judging from their temperament alone, these people can undoubtedly be classified as villains~
Besides this, it may not be without the intention of wanting humans to rescue her.
It's just that this ancestor probably didn't expect that the Eighteenth Apostle, Lilin, whom she originally created, would become so troublesome after splitting into a race.
She clearly left many prophecies through the Dead Sea Scrolls, but humans didn't believe them and only regarded them as myths and religious classics.
Only after repeatedly hitting walls and suffering many setbacks did they remember the content of the scrolls.
When people compared the series of major events recorded in it, whether they had already happened in ancient times, had just happened in recent years, or had not yet happened in the future.
After comparing them one by one and confirming their authenticity.
They finally realized that this was not a myth, but that someone had really left them a script in advance.
As a result, although humans accepted this reality.
However, being too conceited, they still had their own set of understanding and preconceived notions.
And they laid out plans for the future according to their own ideas.
Even after suffering heavy losses in the Second Impact, they were still unwilling to give up, and in the end, even Lilith, the mother of mankind, was schemed against.
It was under this premise that the later SEELE organization and NERV department had all kinds of strange operations.
In fact, strictly speaking, the reason why these two organizations were able to be born is naturally because they were entrusted with the hopes of the entire human group and various countries in the world for the future.
In short, the major countries of mankind hoped that they could take on the responsibility of resisting the Apostles and resisting the end of the world.
It was also under this circumstance that they were able to obtain almost unlimited support in terms of funds and resources from all over the world.
But the problem is that the people leading the two organizations have problems with their brains.
After repeated prophecy certifications, they have gradually formed a consensus and understanding, that is, they firmly believe that the end of the human world will inevitably come.
In the end, mankind will eventually return to the mother, merge again into one, and return to the identity of the Eighteenth Apostle, Lilin.
It also has a bit of a broken jar attitude~
Then, whether it is SEELE's Human Complementation Project or Gendo Ikari's plan to reunite with his wife, they are actually just free play based on this foundation.
Originally, if there was no Liang Yue, everything would follow the script.
Humans will eventually move towards return and fusion.
After experiencing the Third Impact, all AT Fields will be cancelled and eventually merge into one.
All the Apostles, Adam, Lilith, etc., will eventually merge into one.
Immediately afterwards, it will return to the previous track due to a certain young man's mental journey and the cognitive growth of getting out of childhood shadows.
Originally, that shy, weak boy, Shinji Ikari, would become the final winner and become a true god…
But now, Liang Yue is here~
Although the current identity is not clear, it has brought many variables to this plan.
This is undoubtedly an accident for those who originally firmly believed that the end of the world would eventually come and that ultimate salvation was inevitable.
As for whether this variable is good or bad, and where it will eventually lead, it will depend on Liang Yue's identity and wishes.
… …
“Can you be more specific? For example, the question of your identity~”
After hearing Liang Yue's words, Kozo Fuyutsuki's mind suddenly shook, but on the surface, he still had that kind and benevolent appearance, and asked calmly.
Liang Yue also knew the other party's concerns, so he directly got to the point.
“Simply put, I am not an Apostle, but a cultivator from another world. The purpose of coming to this world is to experience.
Then, I will collect some valuable things along the way. For me, those Apostles and the Fruit of Life are all good spoils of war.”
“A cultivator from another world…?”
Hearing this, Fuyutsuki Kozo was obviously shocked by the answer, and a moment of sluggishness flashed across his originally wise face.
Obviously, this old man definitely did not expect this kind of answer before.
At most, he may have only guessed the layer of aliens.
“Then, is there hope to avoid the end of mankind?”
“The end you are talking about is nothing more than the catastrophic disintegration caused by the so-called anti-AT Field impact. The reason why this situation occurs.
That is because the humans on your planet are all born from the Apostles. In fact, this problem is not big, as long as all the independent Apostles are properly dealt with.
Either take them out of the earth, or take them away from this world, leaving only humans themselves. Although you are also descendants of the Apostles.
You will also lose the ability to launch an anti-AT Field impact after leaving the other Apostles.”
After thinking about it, Liang Yue gave his answer with a relaxed expression.
“This… since you can say this kind of solution, then it shouldn't be difficult for you to do this, right?”
The old man in front of him was silent for a while, and then looked at him seriously.
“It's really not difficult. As long as you are willing to cooperate, all the problems should be solved in a few hours at the fastest.”
“Then, may I ask, what price do we humans need to pay in the face of your kindness and dedication?”
“You are too weak and have no value to me in themselves. However, the Spear of Longinus in your hands, that is, the remaining root part of the World Tree, is a good thing for me.
If possible, I would like to revive it and take it away from this world.”
“But, according to our guess, it takes some very complicated conditions to revive the World Tree.”
“A part of the flesh and soul of Adam and Lilith is enough. I only need to let it regain its vitality. I didn’t say that it must be restored to its complete state.”
“Hoo~ If that's the case, we agree to your conditions in principle, but, this is such a big matter, I can't make a decision alone and need to go back and discuss it.”
“No problem.”
“Um, also, I have a personal question, can you extract the human soul from the Apostle's replica? If that soul has always been independent and exists.”
“Are you talking about the woman in Unit-01?”
“That's her! Her name is Yui Ikari, she was once my student and also the wife of our department's commander. The two of them had a very good relationship, and today's situation only occurred because of an accident.”
“Not difficult. To express sincerity, I can help you get that soul out first. You can prepare a suitable body yourself, and then you can awaken her.”
“Thank you very much!”
