Chapter 1155
The Sigrass Couple: Oh dear! There aren't any Ultra Warriors here!
Ritsuko's brows furrowed even more, her eyes filled with sneer and disdain: "He doesn't even care about his own son? He's gone mad for someone who's already dead?"
"More than that." Cui Ming scoffed, his tone full of disdain. "In the end, the child was driven to the brink of despair. It was only because Yui Ikari, who had already possessed EVA Unit-01, couldn't bear to watch and personally intervened that he barely managed to protect the child. Otherwise, the child would probably have been killed by his obsession long ago."
Upon hearing this, the two were completely speechless. Ikari lowered her head, her chest heaving slightly, her heart filled with mixed emotions—in the end, she herself in that world still had to protect her child in that way, and all of this tragedy was caused by Rokubun Gigendo's obsession.
Ritsuko took a deep breath, suppressing the anger and contempt in her heart. She finally understood that Rokubun Gigendou was never a man of deep affection, but a selfish and obsessive madman. His so-called "wanting to see Yui Ikari" was nothing more than to satisfy his twisted desires, and he had no basic sense of responsibility or conscience.
"So, this is the situation now. The world consciousness asked me to save its life, that's all." Cui Ming said, leaning back on the sofa and sighing softly, his tone tinged with impatience, as if complaining about a troublesome matter. "But here's the problem: I don't know what kind of monster will appear, so I can't set up defenses in advance for the time being."
Before he could finish speaking, the television in the living room suddenly turned on automatically, replacing the leisure program with an emergency news broadcast. The announcer's voice, filled with barely concealed panic, urgently announced: "Breaking news! Breaking news! A super typhoon has suddenly appeared near Tokyo Bay, and the wind speed continues to rise! Even more strangely, a huge shadow has appeared vaguely in the eye of the typhoon, suspected to be an unknown giant creature! Residents along the coast, please evacuate immediately! Evacuate immediately!"
On the television screen, howling winds whipped up giant waves that crashed against the shore, the sky was as dark as night, and sure enough, two blurry, enormous figures swayed in the eye of the typhoon, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression. Cui Ming stared at the screen, his previously slightly impatient face suddenly breaking into a smile, even letting out a soft chuckle: "Oh, perfect, saves me from having to find another example to introduce you to these monsters I was talking about."
He raised his chin, gesturing for everyone to look closely at the screen, his tone as casual as if he were introducing a cat or dog on the street: "The one on the left is the tornado monster Sigras, and the one on the right is the tsunami monster Simmons. They're actually a married couple."
"."
Ritsuko and Yui Ikari fell silent instantly, their lips twitching simultaneously, their eyes filled with speechlessness and helplessness. Ritsuko subconsciously rubbed her forehead, internally screaming: Seriously?! Is this the time to introduce whether they're a couple? A typhoon is raging, and there's an unknown monster; shouldn't the focus be on figuring out how to deal with it? Yui Ikari also frowned, her expression complex—she simply couldn't understand how Choi Myung could be so calmly introducing the monsters' relationship in such an emergency.
Misato, standing to the side, took a sip of beer, looking completely unfazed. Zeppelin merely nodded indifferently, clearly having seen Cui Ming's demeanor before. But Cui Ming's introduction wasn't over yet. Pointing to the two figures on the screen, he continued, "After the horns on Sigras's head flashed, the horns on Simmons's head also flashed in response, generating a powerful electromagnetic wave that triggered a massive tsunami, powerful enough to submerge the entire Tokyo Bay coastline."
He paused, deliberately building suspense, his tone laced with a hint of mockery: "This is an ability that requires Simmons and Sigras to cooperate; it can't be used alone. Of course, you heard me, I said tsunami. Well, since Sigras is known as the Tornado Monster, you understand." Ritsuko and Yui exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes. Ritsuko took a deep breath, her voice weary, and whispered, "Understood."
What do they know? Of course, they know that Siglas alone can create tornadoes! On one hand, there's the devastating tsunami caused by the couple working together, and on the other hand, there's a tornado that can wreak havoc on its own. These two monsters combined are a double disaster; just thinking about it makes one's scalp tingle. The two of them felt their heads throb even more. They originally thought it was just a simple monster warning, but they didn't expect to encounter two such troublesome monsters right away.
Ritsuko stared at the raging typhoon and the blurry monster figures on the TV screen, her brows furrowed, and asked with a hint of disbelief in her voice, "So... these are the monsters you're supposed to deal with?" In her view, since Choi Myeong had given a warning about the monster threat in advance, these two monsters that had appeared should be their targets.
However, Cui Ming shook his head slightly, his tone still casual, and even scratched his head, adding, "It's not certain yet, because I don't know if these two monsters are allies."
These words startled Ritsuko and Yui Ikari. Before they could react, Choi Myung slowly added, his tone somewhat matter-of-fact: "Actually, I'm a Earth-loving person. I don't usually provoke monsters on Earth easily. What if they're just here for a stroll or to help Earth avoid trouble? If I take action, wouldn't I become the villain?"
"."
Ritsuko and Yui fell silent again, their lips twitching even more violently, their speechless expressions almost overflowing. Ritsuko subconsciously rubbed her forehead, a torrent of complaints churning within her—wait, isn't your logic a bit off?! The TV is reporting the typhoon's devastation and the enormous shadow it casts; it's clearly a disaster, and you're still wondering if they're allies? Are you afraid you'll be the villain?
Yui Ikari frowned, her expression so complicated she couldn't speak. She simply couldn't understand Choi Myung's thought process: one second he was seriously warning of the monster threat, and the next second he hesitated to take action because of his identity as an "Earthist," even worrying about provoking Earth's native monsters. The contrast was too great.
Misato couldn't help but laugh out loud, patting Choi Myung's shoulder: "Only you would think so much. They've almost turned Tokyo Bay upside down. What kind of friendly forces would cause so much trouble?" Zeppelin also nodded slightly, his tone tinged with helplessness: "Choi, the priority now is to control the disaster. It's not too late to decide whether to take action after confirming their stance."
Choi Myung glanced at Misato, offering no rebuttal, but instead turned back to the television screen, his tone finally becoming more serious: "That's true. Let's see how things go. If they really intend to destroy Tokyo Bay, regardless of whether they're native to Earth, we'll have to take action." (End of Chapter)
