After calming himself down, exhaustion began to wash over Shinji. He immediately dispelled the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion in his hand and deactivated Godly Emperor Mode.
Even as he crossed through the Space Rift, Shinji had stayed battle-ready, just in case the Bewitching Overlord pursued him without regard for the consequences.
