Chapter 1212

Shinji Ikari: You are not worthy of your mother's surname! Sextant!

Rokubungi Gendo rose slightly from the sofa, trying to maintain the last shred of his so-called "majesty." His brows were furrowed, and his tone was deliberately heavy, with a hint of barely perceptible urgency. He immediately tried to use Yui Ikari to blackmail Shinji Ikari: "Shinji, now is not the time for you to be willful. We must join forces to take back your mother!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Shinji Ikari couldn't help but frown, his stomach churning, feeling incredibly nauseous—this bastard, how dare he mention his mother, how dare he talk about "taking her back," does he even deserve it?
Shinji Ikari took a step forward, his eyes as cold as knives, his tone undisguised in his mockery and disgust, retorting word by word: "Rokubun Gigendo, don't you think you're disgusting?"

"Gendo Ikari! I am Gendo Ikari!" Rokkaku Gendo instantly bristled, his face turning bright red, his hand trembling as he pointed at Shinji Ikari, his tone filled with exasperation—what he cared about most was the surname "Ikari," his only connection to Shinji Ikari, and he absolutely refused to allow Shinji Ikari to call him by the surname "Rokkaku," for it was the greatest humiliation for him.

"Shut up!" Shinji Ikari roared, his voice suddenly rising, his eyes filled with unbridled hatred. "You're Rokubun Gigendo! You bastard! You don't deserve to use my mother's surname, you don't deserve to mention the name 'Ikari,' you're not even worthy to carry my mother's shoes!"

"You!!!" Rokubungi Gendo was speechless, his chest heaving violently, his face turning from red to green, then from green to white, he was completely horrified—he had never been so publicly contradicted and humiliated by Shinji Ikari, especially regarding his most cherished surname, the humiliation and anger almost consumed him.

He took a deep breath, trying to suppress his anger, and then adopted a hypocritical tone, trying to play the family card. His voice was deliberately gentle, but it sounded extremely awkward: "Can't you just listen to your father? We're all doing this for Wei, to get her back."

Upon hearing the word "father" and hearing him still using his mother as an excuse, Shinji Ikari could no longer hold back. The grievances, anger, and hatred that had been building up for over a decade finally erupted at that moment.

His eyes were bloodshot and his whole body was trembling. Without the slightest hesitation, he rushed towards Rokubun Gigendo and slammed his clenched fist with all his strength into Rokubun Gigendo's face!
"Did you even listen to your mother, you stupid idiot?!" Shinji Ikari roared, venting all his emotions. The moment his fist slammed down, a dull pain shot through his knuckles, but he didn't care at all.

Before she passed away, his mother repeatedly told him to protect himself and to take good care of him. But this bastard did nothing, ignored his mother's words, and abandoned him like trash.

Then, Shinji Ikari disregarded all restraint and consequences! He only knew that the man in front of him was the culprit who ruined everything for him, the bastard who betrayed his mother, and he was going to beat him to death and vent all the grievances and pain he had suffered over the years on this bastard!
He punched Rokubun Gigendo's face, chest, and shoulders repeatedly, roaring and cursing as he did so. His eyes were filled with bloodshot hatred, and he used all his strength with every punch, as if he wanted to completely cripple this bastard before he would stop.

After being punched repeatedly by Shinji Ikari until his face was bruised and swollen, Rokubun Gigendo was completely enraged. He could no longer suppress the anger and humiliation in his chest. He struggled to curl up and raised his hand to push Shinji away, even wanting to fight back—after all, he was the commander of NERV, how could he be beaten up like this by his own son?
But the moment he raised his arm, Shinji Ikari grabbed his wrist and twisted it violently. A sharp, piercing pain shot through him, and all his strength seemed to drain away instantly; he didn't even have the power to lift his arm. Only then did Rokubun Gigendo realize with horror that he was actually no match for Shinji!
The once timid and easily manipulated kid has now become so powerful, so powerful that he has no chance to fight back. This disparity and sense of defeat is more devastating to him than being beaten.

Shinji Ikari, however, grew increasingly excited and relieved with each punch! He grabbed Rokubun Gigendo by the collar, relentlessly pounding his face and chest with each blow, a ferocious yet pure smile plastered on his face as he roared, venting all the pent-up grievances and anger of the past decade: "Holy crap! I can finally beat him up!!! It feels so good! It feels so damn good! That's it! That's it! So good!!! So good!" His eyes crinkled with laughter, yet still glistened with crimson tears, devoid of any malice, instead radiating a childlike purity—at this moment, he was no longer the boy hurt by family, cautiously enduring, but rather a true child who had finally avenged himself, running wild with joy, pouring all his resentment and pain into every punch.

As he continued beating him, Shinji Ikari suddenly felt a warm feeling in his heart, as if a gentle yet powerful aura was enveloping him, spreading through his blood to every part of his body, as if his mother was standing beside him, gently patting his back and tenderly telling him, "Well done."

No! Not just seemingly!

That's it!

Shinji Ikari paused for a moment, then clenched his fist and slammed it down even harder. He clearly felt the growing strength surging within him—it wasn't the brute force born of anger, but a gentle yet firm power. So, Mom has always been in my heart!
Thinking this, Shinji Ikari's eyes grew even more determined, and he punched even harder, each blow carrying unprecedented power. In his heart, he silently shouted: "Mom! Watch! I'm teaching this bastard a lesson. I'll never let him bully me again. I'll never let him betray your trust again!"

Actually, Shinji Ikari's feeling was absolutely right.
This sudden power, along with his mother's "companionship," can be considered a small operation by the world's consciousness—it originally intended to use Yui's residual consciousness to motivate Shinji to become stronger and help stop Sextans's insane plan.

But the world's consciousness never expected that Shinji Ikari's mother, Yui Ikari, was never truly concerned about being "taken back" or about the Sextans. What she truly cared about was that her child could be well, free from suffering, and live freely.

It seems that what I told Yui Ikari's remaining consciousness, that she should "protect Shinji well," really worked.

This script is fantastic!
