Chapter 164 - 82: The EVA World, Human Instrumentality Project! (Part 2)

Chapter 164: Chapter 82: The EVA World, Human Instrumentality Project! (Part 2)

The entire planet seemed like a fallen creature, bizarre and corrupted!

Alex looked up at the sky, which presented an even more eerie sight.

The azure blue of the past was completely obscured by thick, purplish-gray clouds. The clouds looked like internal organs soaked in formalin, covered in irregular folds, with dark green bands of light flowing deep within those creases.

Occasionally, through tears in the clouds, what leaked out was not sunlight, but a chaotic, dark red glow.

Just what kind of place was this?

Alex frowned. Nothing in his memory corresponded to the scene before him.

Right at this moment, the ground suddenly trembled violently. From a distance came a piercing sound, like bones grinding together.

A humanoid creature nearly a hundred meters tall staggered toward him. Its red metallic armor had been torn to shreds by its expanding flesh. The three pairs of membranous wings on its back were not used for flight; instead, they opened and closed like sharp claws. Every step it took sent ripples across the carpet of flesh on the ground.

Alex shifted his body slightly, effortlessly dodging the membranous wing the creature swiped at him.

As his gaze swept across the creature’s chest, his pupils contracted sharply. Clearly printed there was the number "02". The monster’s head was ferocious and terrifying, its maw of sharp teeth dripping with flesh and blood.

’Was this... the Neon Genesis Evangelion world?’

The moment he saw this monster, a thought flashed through his mind like lightning, and sudden realization dawned on Alex.

’It seemed the Human Instrumentality Project... had succeeded.’

Possessing Divinity, Alex’s brain operated as efficiently as a supercomputer. He instantly recalled the overarching lore of this world.

At the dawn of chaos, the Tree of Life birthed Adam and Lilith, simultaneously bearing two fruits.

Adam consumed the Fruit of Life, while Lilith obtained the Fruit of Knowledge. The two became the First and Second Angels.

4.6 billion years ago, the First Angel, Adam, crashed into Antarctica, triggering the First Impact. As a result, he fell into a deep slumber. From within his body, the Third through Seventeenth Angels were born.

Their mission was to grow into mature forms and return to Adam, awakening their slumbering progenitor.

4 billion years ago, the Second Angel, Lilith, crashed into Earth, triggering the true First Impact, which forced the other Angels into dormancy.

Her bodily fluids permeated the earth, giving birth to humanity—the Eighteenth Angel.

After discovering the secrets of Adam and Lilith, humanity established the NERV organization in an attempt to prevent Adam’s revival.

However, human greed meant that they both wanted to prevent the destruction caused by the Angels’ return and craved to steal the power of god.

Meanwhile, the extremist human organization, SEELE, advocated for humanity to return to the mother body, Lilith, executing the Human Instrumentality Project.

The Second Impact, which occurred in the year 2000, was caused by a research team’s operational error—pulling the God-killing Spear out of Adam’s chest. Adam awakened and went berserk in Antarctica, wiping out half of the Earth’s population. The surviving Angels then awakened one after another and launched attacks on humanity.

To combat the Angels, humanity used half of Lilith’s flesh to create Evangelion Unit-01, but it could not be activated due to lacking a soul.

It wasn’t until Shinji Ikari’s mother, Yui Ikari, completely merged her body and soul into Unit-01 during an experiment that this giant truly came alive...

Alex gazed at the collapsed world before him. Feeling the scent of LCL fluid permeating the air, his eyes gradually grew solemn.

The success of the Instrumentality Project had turned humanity into a part of this flesh earth. And the Unit-02 before his eyes was a monster born from the fusion of an Angel and an EVA!

The NERV organization produced a total of three non-mass-produced EVAs.

Unit-01 was half of Lilith’s body and was infused with the soul of Shinji Ikari’s mother, Yui Ikari. Therefore, Unit-01 only recognized Shinji Ikari as its pilot.

Unit-00 was a clone of Unit-01. To activate Unit-00, Gendo Ikari cloned Yui Ikari’s physical body and infused it with a portion of Lilith’s soul, creating the young girl named Rei Ayanami.

Unit-00 could only be piloted by Rei Ayanami.

The subsequent Unit-02, Unit-03, and even the mass-produced units were all created using Adam’s body and could be piloted by ordinary humans.

The clearly out-of-control mecha before Alex’s eyes was EVA Unit-02, and its pilot should be Asuka.

The biological carpet covering the ground was likely humanity itself, reduced to mindless flesh and blood by SEELE’s Instrumentality Project!
