Unfortunately, at the moment, Misato was the highest authority in the headquarters, and no one dared to contradict her. I decided not to interfere, because the idea was not as absurd as it seemed at first glance.

As a result, all three Evangelions were positioned around Tokyo-3 and began to wait for the moment when the angel would fly directly over them. The computer calculations showed that at least several of the charges had to fall exactly on the Geofront. While waiting, NERV phones were subjected to a massive attack from the governments of those countries that were under bombardment. Unfortunately, according to the official version, Eves could only operate in the vicinity of Tokyo-3 or when a gigawatt power supply was connected. So, no one were eager to save people.

And now, the carpet of nuclear bombardment is approaching Tokyo-3. The Eves got ready, sorted out the rather sluggish falling targets, and rushed to intercept them. The first repulsed charges, although they managed to throw into space, but they did not even pass near the angel. But angel was interested in a curious phenomenon and stopped exactly over Tokyo-3, continuing the bombing. Then the Eves showed class, beating all the pitches. Each time their movements became more precise, and in the end Asuka was lucky. The charge repulsed by her got exactly in the center of the angel, after which it detonated, completely burning all the electronics on half of the planet.

The testimony of the few surviving satellites confirmed the complete destruction of the angel. As a result, Misato received a personal gratitude from Gendo, and Asuka, as always, was content only with the realization of her own coolness. The success of the pilots was considered to be something very simple, so no one even paid attention to them. On the contrary, they were scolded: 'Why have you been messing around for so long?'.

As a result, Asuka's moral satisfaction decreased, which led her to seek compensation in the form of sexual satisfaction. Her depraved adventures broke free to the big world, and rumors began to circulate in the city about an abnormal red-haired nymphet who ran naked around the city at night and tried to copulate with any more or less cute man. As a result, some schoolchildren and students went for a walk around the city at night to meet this miracle. The lucky ones preferred not to spread the consequences of such a meeting in the form of a three-day decline of forces up to a state of inactivity

A week later, Geofront received three headless bodies of serial Evangelions, which were supposed to test the technology of creating Eve's autopilot based on the clones of Ayanami Rei. These three bodies were developed in the United States and even at the creation stage, one of them was infected by an angel. This creature resembled a cluster of intelligent bacteria in its structure.

As soon as the pilot experiments began, the angel activated and began to spread in all directions, literally devouring the encountered organics and equipment. The experiment was stopped and the lab was isolated, but it didn't help much. The angel easily devoured the armored bulkheads and began to spread throughout the Geofront, turning the labyrinths of the corridors into a pulsating tangle of guts.

But most importantly, the angel connected to the computer network and tried to hack into MAGI's computers. After that, it would immediately know about all the secrets of NERV, plus it would get full control over all the systems of Geofront and Tokyo-3.

Dr. Akagi suggested 'hacking' the angel's computer mind, instilling in him the idea of death as the final state of any creature. But I had a better idea. Instructed by me, Shinji performed a summoning of three 'demons of knowledge', which then took possession of MAGI's bionic brains. Here these creatures of Chaos felt as at home, so it was not difficult for them to jointly 'hack' the angel, who trustingly opened his mind to them. After that, the angel's body began to transform back into the matter from which it originated, returning the Geofront to its original form.

After the angel was destroyed, the three demons kept their connection to the computers so that they could continue to control them for my purposes. And as payment for their services, they privatized three headless Eves that were being experimented on. These three giants disappeared into the depths of Chaos, where the demons of knowledge subdued them and used them for their incomprehensible purposes.

As a result of all this operation, the management of NERV got a little scared. Before they even realized what had happened, everything came back to normal. As a result, the angel attack was officially recognized as just a leak of hallucinogenic gas, launched into the ventilation system by malicious saboteurs. And three almost ready-made Eves worth billions of dollars each were written off under the article 'consumables', explaining what happened by the fact that a stupid technician under the influence of hallucinogens pressed the wrong button. In general, all garbage was swept under the carpet, and all facts along with the technician were drowned in the sewer.

After this incident, I harnessed the demons of knowledge to study all information bases of NERV. In addition, they had to observe all events in Geofront using the CCTV cameras located everywhere. And the first strangeness they noticed was the existence of Ayanami Rei in two places at the same time

Before relocating to Shinji, Rei from time to time passed through the body stabilization procedure in Terminal Dogma. But after the succubus was put in, these practices stopped because the results of the research showed that Rei's body had become stabile. But the succubus 'forgot' to tell me that just a couple of weeks after that, the real Rei's soul escaped from her body.

Obviously, Gendo foresee such option with possessing Ayanami Rei’s body by demon, so he made preventive actions and resurrected his puppet in a new body, leaving Yamirei to play the role of pilot. A more detailed study of the contents of the hidden rooms of Terminal Dogma showed that there is not only Ayanami Rei, but also a clone of Eve-00, 'not defiled' by the influence of the demon.

It seems that Gendo has not lost hope to put in place his plan, albeit with some changes. I didn't bother him early, but I kept watching all his actions, which was pretty easy with demons. It wasn't that I was in any way harmed by his throwing, but it was worth keeping my finger on the pulse, so as not to miss important events.

One of these significant events was the arrival of the Spear of Longinus, which Ikari Gendo brought from Antarctica. A copy of Eve-00, under the control of the real Rei, transferred the spear to Terminal Dogma and stuck it into Lilith's body, which hung there, crucified on a cross. And just the next day, Ryoji Kaji entered this room, diligently sniffing out all the secrets of NERV. Unfortunately for him, every time he learned that demons were involved in all this, one of the 'shadow demons' erased his memory.

A few days later, the next angel appeared. Recently, they came one after another, not giving people time to rest properly. This angel outwardly looked like a striped ball, but its true body was the shadow of this ball. Its very existence was virtual to a certain extent. It could be called an abstract angel, because no material object could be truly two-dimensional, because of which the reality itself 'painted' a balloon flying in the air to give the existence of this angel at least some credibility.

All three Eves simultaneously began to attack the angel and naturally 'stuck' in its 'shadow', falling into it and disappearing without a trace. Shinji and his henchmen struggled to free themselves, but the demon's 'permitted' abilities were not enough. My plans for the battle with this angel were far-reaching.

When Shinji became convinced that he was unable to break out of captivity by his own power, I came to him with another idea of performing a sacrifice.

“Shinji, you need to sacrifice your most valuable you have.”

“And, what is it exactly?” – Shinji asked.

“You can find out after you're released. Just agree to sacrifice it and you will be free.”

“I don’t like the idea of such sacrificing.”

“Then call me when you change your mind.”

After two days, spent in complete darkness and silence without sex and food, he had no choice.

The most valuable, in Shinji's case, was the soul of his mother, Ikari Yui. I agreed with the demon that he would defeat this angel 'in debt', and as a pledge to get the rights to Yui's soul. After the agreement was concluded, the demon called for help inhabitants of Chaos. The space in which the Eves were located existed only because of the angel. So, when there was a breakthrough right into the world of Chaos in this space, it was like launching a pack of piranhas into the belly of an alligator. In just a few seconds, the angel was literally torn to pieces and devoured, and the three Evangelions made a journey through the abyss of Chaos and fell out into Tokyo-3. For ordinary mortals, such journey would hardly have ended well, but the Eves were under the control of demons, who were able to negotiate with the 'higher powers' to transport counterfeit cargo.

After returning to the material world, Shinji immediately rushed to find out what he had sacrificed. At first, he thought it was Rei. Then he suspected Asuka. But having made sure of their presence, he began to look for Misato and other acquaintances. To his disappointment, nothing had changed in the world around him.

Dark thoughts hovered in the pilot's head, and I was in no hurry to dispel them, waiting for the moment when the 'fruit' will ripen. After analyzing his actions since appearing in Tokyo-3, Shinji suspected that he had sacrificed his soul or humanity. But again, he had no evidence of this, so he just continued to engage in self-examination, trying to understand the depth of his moral downfall and the degree of moral decay.
