Chapter Summaries

Li Mu strengthened the Clairvoyance Spark, secured Golden Crow City, and traveled by Phoenix to a parallel Blue Star. He scanned the ruined world and learned that humanity faced a planned extinction through the Human Instrumentality Project.

• Li Mu fused the Psychic Eye Spark into the Clairvoyance Spark, raising it to LV5 and gaining enhanced vision and the ability to foresee fortune and misfortune.
• Li Mu disguised himself, evaded the shop manager at Demon Dragon Free City, and returned to Golden Crow City, where he spread blood mist from the Bone Blood Gourd to conceal it.
• After Song Jie finished refining the Giant, Li Mu used the Fantasy Coordinate and Phoenix to teleport away from the Core Furnace.
• Li Mu transferred the Clairvoyance Spark into the Shipboard Spark, and the Deep Space Radar scanned a parallel Blue Star covered in urban ruins and flooded areas.
• The Shipborne Optical Computer revealed Blue Star's history, including the origins of Adam, Lilith, and the Apostles, and the Human Instrumentality Project's plan to end humanity and create a god.

Li Mu infiltrated Sea Serpent Base to investigate Adam’s genes and learn how humans’ souls formed AT Fields. After taking control of a researcher, he left himself positioned to study the researcher’s consciousness and the base’s secrets.

• Li Mu arrived in M Country and infiltrated Sea Serpent Base, an underground facility secretly opposing SEELE.
• He spread a Blood Mist through the base and followed a researcher into the break room, but his Imperius Curse could not immediately overcome the researcher’s mental defenses.
• Li Mu imprisoned the researcher in the Bone Blood Gourd and disguised himself as him to avoid detection.
• He reasoned that humans’ souls and AT Fields were unusually powerful, and that mastering AT Fields could let him withstand nuclear explosions with Mental Power.
• Inside the Bone Blood Gourd, Li Mu used the Origin HuoZhong and sunlight to break through the researcher’s mental defenses and control his consciousness.

Li Mu used Tom’s soul and Adam’s genes to create and transform a controllable, growing Spark EVA he named Freedom Gundam. After testing its abilities, he set out to find Adam and Lilith, hoping to make the machine stronger through Human Instrumentality.

• Li Mu examined Tom’s soul and discovered that, when freed from its shell, it could use the world’s soul matter to generate an AT Field.
• Li Mu gained control of the researchers studying Adam’s genes and had the Precursors clone an artificial Angel from Adam’s and Tom’s genes.
• Li Mu used Horcrux techniques, magic, and the Anchor of Fantasy to transform the artificial Angel into Freedom Gundam, a growable Spark Creation with Human Instrumentality.
• Li Mu tested Freedom Gundam’s AT Field and Apparition, then found that operating it rapidly consumed his Mental Power.
• Li Mu decided to search for Adam and Lilith so Freedom Gundam could absorb their power or genes, while also investigating SEELE and NERV.

Li Mu infiltrated NERV Headquarters, seized Gendo Ikari’s identity, and harvested Lilith’s flesh to complete Freedom Gundam’s life. After learning that Lilith’s flesh improved the Gundam’s control of its AT Field, Li Mu chose Rei Ayanami as its future pilot and planned to change her fate.

• Li Mu entered Third New Tokyo City’s underground headquarters, discovered that Lilith’s soul matter suppressed his mental powers, and captured Gendo Ikari by force.
• Li Mu copied Gendo Ikari’s memories, resurrected him, and imprisoned him in the Bone Blood Gourd while impersonating him and threatening him with an artificial Shinji Ikari.
• Li Mu secretly reached Lilith and cut away flesh for experiments and Freedom Gundam, stopping when Lilith began to stir.
• Li Mu fed Lilith’s flesh to Freedom Gundam and found that it made the Gundam’s AT Field easier to control, though it did not strengthen it.
• Li Mu suppressed Tom’s awakening within Freedom Gundam and decided that Rei Ayanami would become its true pilot.

Li Mu secretly took charge of Rei Ayanami, healed her injuries, and gave her comfort and a new EVA called Freedom Gundam. After Rei proved she alone could pilot it safely, she began to trust Li Mu and look forward to piloting again.

• Li Mu entered Rei Ayanami's home, treated her injuries with Blood Bewildering Mist, and used Gendo Ikari to confirm that he was secretly assigned to care for her.
• Li Mu made Rei's home comfortable, stayed with her, and ordered NERV to destroy her spare clones so she would have only one life.
• Li Mu sent Rei and Unit-00 to raid Sea Serpent Base, where Rei captured the Freedom Gundam he had placed there.
• Rei piloted Freedom Gundam with exceptional ease, and Li Mu told her he had made it to protect her from Unit-00's failures.
• After Ritsuko Akagi tested other pilots, Freedom Gundam went out of control and killed them, but it stopped when it reached Rei; Rei then piloted it again while Ritsuko accepted that only Rei could control it.

Li Mu freed NERV from SEELE’s control, rebuilt its EVAs into the Spark machines Freedom Gundam and Angel Gundam, and prepared for the awakening of the Third Angel. SEELE activated a device that imitated Adam’s soul fluctuations to lure the Angels to Third New Tokyo City.

• Gendo Ikari blamed M Country for the Freedom Gundam, diverting SEELE into investigating other nations.
• Li Mu seized control of NERV’s Magi system, captured SEELE’s hidden agents, and brainwashed them into sending SEELE information he chose.
• Li Mu strengthened Unit-00 and rebuilt Unit-01 as the Angel Gundam, which he gave to Rei Ayanami.
• Li Mu and Rei Ayanami trained together with the Freedom Gundam and Angel Gundam as the Third Angel neared awakening.
• SEELE activated a machine that simulated Adam’s soul fluctuations to draw the awakening Angels to Third New Tokyo City.

Li Mu and Rei Ayanami defeated Water Angel, whose remains empowered both Gundams, while Shinji Ikari died during the evacuation. Li Mu then infiltrated SEELE headquarters seeking the original Dead Sea Scrolls, but found only copies, along with Adam’s reincarnated soul vessel and sealed original body.

• Li Mu ordered Gendo Ikari to handle SEELE and prepared Freedom Gundam and Angel Gundam as Water Angel approached Third New Tokyo City.
• The Blue Star United Army’s conventional assault and N2 Mine failed to stop Water Angel, so it handed command to Gendo Ikari.
• Freedom Gundam restrained Water Angel while Rei Ayanami pierced its core with an AT Field spear, killing it; Shinji Ikari was accidentally killed as Rei dragged away the corpse.
• Li Mu and Rei used their Sparks to devour Water Angel, giving Freedom Gundam a Destruction Beam and Angel Gundam an extendable light sword, along with Fruit of Life Fragments.
• Li Mu strengthened his control over Gendo Ikari, traveled to Antarctica, and infiltrated SEELE headquarters in search of the original Dead Sea Scrolls.
• Li Mu found only copied scrolls but learned about SEELE’s soul-retrieval and Spear of Longinus technologies, then discovered Adam’s reincarnated soul vessel and sealed original body.

Li Mu stole Adam from SEELE and used the Freedom Gundam and Rei Ayanami’s Angel Gundam to defeat Adam’s awakened body. He absorbed most of Adam into the Freedom Gundam, leaving a fragment for the Angel Gundam, and both Sparks began turning green.

• Li Mu used miniature Golden Snitches to steal Adam’s embryo and a copy of the Dead Sea Scrolls from SEELE’s headquarters.
• Li Mu examined Adam’s weakened embryo in the Bone Blood Gourd, then used the Freedom Gundam Spark’s Life Completion to awaken Adam’s body.
• Adam’s AT Field shattered the Freedom Gundam’s attack, so Rei Ayanami summoned the Angel Gundam and waited for an opening.
• After the Freedom Gundam’s Spatial Shockwave drew Adam’s attention, Rei attacked his weak point and pierced his AT Field.
• Li Mu tore Adam’s body apart, absorbed most of it into the Freedom Gundam Spark, and gave a fragment to the Angel Gundam for Life Completion.

Li Mu considered the risks of pursuing Adam’s soul and the Dead Sea Scrolls, while learning that the world’s corrective force had undone his changes to its story. SEELE’s discussion of using the scrolls gave him a possible way to draw them out.

• Rei Ayanami asked Li Mu whether the Apostle he had encountered was one too, and he explained that it had been half of the First Apostle.
• Li Mu examined Freedom Gundam’s upgraded Fruit of Life and realized he could sense and awaken Adam’s remaining Apostles, though he could not control them without Adam’s soul.
• Li Mu reflected that a corrective force had undone his Fantasy Coordinate changes and that the Dead Sea Scrolls might be responsible.
• The Shipborne Optical Computer revealed a SEELE meeting in which the senior officials debated whether to use the Dead Sea Scrolls to recover the stolen Adam embryo.
• Li Mu inferred that using the Dead Sea Scrolls carried a great cost and decided he needed a way to lure them out.

Li Mu used Phoenix to kill Day Angel and Thunder Angel before SEELE or NERV could act, recovering the Angels’ remains and Fruit of Life fragment. Phoenix vanished into the clouds, leaving the world’s forces unsure what the mysterious attacker was.

• Li Mu traveled to the Pacific and used Phoenix’s Void Realm Starshatter Cannon to kill the sleeping Day Angel, then salvaged its remains.
• Li Mu attacked Thunder Angel’s seabed resting place with a spatial burst and Phoenix’s impact, causing tsunamis that reached Third New Tokyo City.
• Thunder Angel survived the first assault, regenerated, and attacked Phoenix with particle cannons before trying to retreat beneath the seabed.
• Phoenix pursued Thunder Angel, pierced its AT Field, and tore out its Fruit of Life fragment while the Bone Blood Gourd took its corpse.
• Phoenix flew away into the clouds as forces around the world wondered what the attacker was.

Li Mu tricked Chairman Keel with a forged prophecy, then tracked down SEELE’s deep-sea submersible and seized all twelve Dead Sea Scrolls. He sacrificed them to create and fuse with the Angel Bible, gaining powerful soul abilities and Angel technology, leaving SEELE no longer a serious threat to him.

• Li Mu altered the prophecy Chairman Keel saw, framing Gendo Ikari for Adam’s theft and the Apostles’ deaths.
• Li Mu followed the scroll’s chain of submersibles to a mechanical octopus, took control of its supercomputer, and recovered all twelve Dead Sea Scrolls.
• Li Mu examined the scrolls and learned they contained Angel technologies, laws, prophecies, and the means to become a god.
• Li Mu sacrificed the twelve scrolls, which became the Angel Bible, then fused with it and mastered its abilities and technologies.

Li Mu revealed Rei Ayanami’s origins and promised to take her to the Spark World, then helped her absorb Lilith and claimed the Spear of Longinus. After turning the spear into the Spear of Destiny and fusing with it, he gained a powerful new artifact as he prepared to deal with the remaining Angels.

• Li Mu showed Rei Ayanami Lilith and explained her origins, his parallel-world background, and his plan to change her fate.
• Rei Ayanami asked Li Mu to take her with him, and he promised he would; they reaffirmed their bond and discussed the Spark World.

• With Lilith gone, Li Mu mastered the Spear of Longinus and sent it to the Sacrifice Chamber, where it became the green Heaven Grade Spear of Destiny.
• Li Mu fused with the Spear of Destiny, discovered its powers and enhancement requirements, and wore it as a ring that could expand into a spear.

Li Mu exposed SEELE’s conspiracy, rallied humanity to purge the organization, and destroyed its leadership at its Antarctic headquarters. With Chairman Keel under his control, Li Mu moved to confront Kaworu Nagisa, the Seventeenth Apostle.

• Li Mu made Rei Ayanami a dependent by fusing the Angel Gundam’s HuoZhong into her soul, then absorbed Lilith’s blood from the LCL Sea with the Spear of Destiny.
• Li Mu ordered Misato Katsuragi to plan SEELE’s purge and directed Gendo Ikari and Kozo Fuyutsuki to enlist the nations; Ritsuko Akagi left after challenging his plans.
• The Shipborne Optical Computer revealed SEELE’s conspiracy worldwide, and Li Mu promoted his voluntary Human Instrumentality Project while healing patients and helping governments attack SEELE.
• SEELE’s leaders gathered in Antarctica and considered surrendering, but Li Mu arrived, killed the assembled members except Chairman Keel, and took Keel prisoner.
• Li Mu controlled Chairman Keel and used him to crush SEELE’s remaining resistance, then appeared by Kaworu Nagisa’s boat as an EVA rose from the sea.

Li Mu killed Kaworu Nagisa after resisting his final anti-AT Field attack, then gained life divinity and a new Absolute Territory module. He planned to replace Thorn Energy Shield and still needed Deep Space Radar and a HuoZhong engine for Phoenix.

• Kaworu Nagisa attacked Li Mu with EVA Unit-06 and the Spear of Cassius, but Li Mu stopped the spear with the Spear of Destiny and trapped Unit-06 with Freedom Gundam.
• Kaworu Nagisa sacrificed his defenses to send an anti-AT Field into Li Mu, but Li Mu revealed he was not a human from this world and survived; the Spear of Destiny killed Kaworu Nagisa.
• The Spear of Destiny evolved after killing Kaworu Nagisa, and Li Mu absorbed a fragment of life divinity that strengthened his vitality and soul.
• Freedom Gundam devoured Kaworu Nagisa and the artificial Angel in Unit-06, but did not evolve.
• Li Mu found a green Heaven Grade Absolute Territory Subordinate Module in the HuoZhong Codex and decided it could replace Thorn Energy Shield.

Li Mu destroyed SEELE and hunted down Adam’s Apostles, but the final three combined into an angel that tried to flee and send a distress signal. He captured the Fusion Angel after a prolonged fight and planned to use Legilimency to learn about the angel civilization behind it.

• Li Mu strengthened Absolute Territory, then used Freedom Gundam to destroy SEELE and kill several Apostles across the world.
• Li Mu and Rei Ayanami confronted three more Apostles in the Pacific; Rei used the newly converted Angel Spear to kill the Bird Angel while Freedom Gundam consumed the Terror Angel and Li Mu extracted the Night Angel’s soul.
• The Hail Angel joined the battle, but the Power Angel, Womb Angel, and Bird Angel combined into a white giant and tried to flee after discovering that the angel civilization had been annihilated.
• Li Mu pursued the combined angel in Phoenix, disrupted its attempted escape, and trapped a smaller version inside the Bone Blood Gourd.
• Li Mu fought the larger Fusion Angel for hours, stopped it from escaping through a spatial jump, and captured it after its AT Field failed.

Li Mu learned that the angel race had used Trees of Life to cultivate and harvest successive generations of humanity, and that it had already been destroyed by a stronger civilization. The emergency control program revealed the angel race’s genetic blueprints and advanced Soul Field techniques, while Li Mu considered how to obtain a Fruit of Life to strengthen his own control.

• Li Mu restrained the fused angel, removed its brain, and used Legilimency to uncover the angel race’s history and its role in creating and harvesting humanity.
• Li Mu learned that the angel race had been destroyed by a stronger civilization, and that its emergency control program had activated to prepare an escape after the Apostles were nearly wiped out.
• Li Mu discovered that the program contained genetic blueprints for life modification and advanced applications of Soul Fields.
• Li Mu realized that Fruits of Wisdom could improve his control of Soul Fields, increasing the HuoZhong Magic Power he could wield.
• Li Mu considered obtaining a complete Fruit of Life by having Freedom Gundam devour the Apostles or by synthesizing a Tree of Life and feeding it a life-bearing planet.

After the Blue Star United Army’s nuclear attack, Li Mu retaliated, rescued NERV personnel, and used staged angel attacks to win support for Human Instrumentality. He completed the Kabbalistic Tree of Life and absorbed humanity’s bodies and souls, then faced an unexplained change as Blue Star collapsed.

• After Freedom Gundam consumed the last Apostle, Li Mu combined the Angel Bible, Spear of Destiny, Freedom Gundam, and Angel Gundam to create Divine Angel and trigger Human Instrumentality.
• Humanity’s bodies dissolved into orange juice, and their souls were drawn into Divine Angel as it transformed into the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, leaving only Li Mu and Rei Ayanami alive.
• The Tree of Life spread across Blue Star and began growing new Fruits of Life and Wisdom while Li Mu considered placing humanity’s souls in a virtual world.
• As Blue Star began to collapse, it underwent an abnormal change.

Li Mu absorbed Blue Star’s hidden Life Seed into the Spark Phone, strengthening it to level 2 and starting the conversion of a mysterious game. As the Kabbalah Tree of Life continued devouring Blue Star, Li Mu waited for its Fruits of Life and Wisdom to ripen.

• A cosmic force empowered the Kabbalah Tree of Life, but Blue Star’s Life Seed escaped into Li Mu’s HuoZhong Codex, and the Anchor of Fantasy absorbed the force to gain a free advanced Fantasy Conversion.
• Li Mu tested the Anchor of Fantasy on a Little Red Riding Hood storybook, discovered it could now be converted, and declined to spend the rare opportunity on it.
• Li Mu examined the Life Seed and learned it was a lost split body of the Primordial Life Seed that could reliably turn an ordinary planet into a life planet.
• Li Mu fused the Life Seed into the Spark Phone, raising it to level 2 and improving its communication and image-editing functions.
• Li Mu spent 100,000 cards' worth of HuoZhong Source Power to activate a game program, which began a conversion expected to take several days.
• Li Mu put away the Spark Phone and waited for the Kabbalah Tree of Life’s Fruits of Life and Wisdom to ripen after it devoured Blue Star.

Li Mu watched the Tree of Life consume Blue Star, then harvested its Fruit of Life and Fruit of Wisdom before escaping to Golden Crow City with Rei Ayanami. After using the fruits to strengthen himself and his magic, he transformed into a divine angel and stored it in the Precursor Light Wheel.

• The Tree of Life destroyed Blue Star and produced a Fruit of Life and a Fruit of Wisdom, which Li Mu harvested.
• Li Mu chose to use the Fruit of Life to strengthen his body, soul, and Phoenix rather than rapidly raise his Transcendence Level, then returned to Golden Crow City with Rei Ayanami.
• Li Mu spent two days exploring the city with Rei Ayanami before sending her to the Mind White Tower to learn about the Spark World.
• Li Mu absorbed the purest vitality and soul power from the Fruit of Life, raising his Mental Power and Physique to 50 and gaining the Soul Force Field talent.
• After eating the Fruit of Wisdom, Li Mu used its temporary intelligence boost to improve his Soul Force Field control, Apparition, and Polymorph Spell.
• Li Mu combined his magic power and soul matter to cast an enhanced Polymorph Spell, creating an LV25 divine angel with a soul but no intelligence, then stored it in the Precursor Light Wheel.
