Chapter 2808 Family Disharmony
Humans won, and demons lost. However, this victory did not seem to be felt by ordinary people, because demons were still around them, and they did not get any direct benefits from the victory.
So everyone did not think that this victory was worth celebrating, and did not even think that it was a victory.
In fact, the situation has changed. At least the demons are not so arrogant. The demons in the mortal world are also polite to humans, and they do not like to scare people like before. In addition, some criminals found that when they signed contracts with demons in the past, these demons were afraid that they would not do bad things thoroughly, and always instigated them to do more bad things. But now the criminals can't find the demons at all. Even if they find the demons, they will persuade the criminals to turn back and do bad things.
Is this a demon? Is this still the demon who is afraid of chaos in the world? Where is the courage of the demons? Why do the demons seem to abandon evil and become good babies?
Humans know that a war has occurred, but the changes of the demons after the war are still too great, so that people who have something to do with the demons cannot accept it.
Of course, the ancient demons will not admit defeat easily. They will look for opportunities to continue to play games with humans. The devil did not change his mind. Although he did enter a chaotic world, his habitual thinking could not be changed all at once.
To be honest, it is really difficult to change one's mind. Duran had to go through many worlds before he could jump back and forth between different mindsets and adopt a flexible moral bottom line.
The devil has a historical burden and will not change easily. Since he will not change, the demon hunter will continue to hunt, since the demon trading market has already opened.
In the doomsday world, he is doing business and building at the same time.
The doomsday world has become vibrant again, but for Ikari Gendō, this is not what he expected, because he has not changed his mind. He does not accept Ikari Yui's existence in the form of Unit-01. Although he knows that his wife is inside, he does not need such a wife.
Picky and unruly. Duran knew that his persuasion could not convince Ikari Gendō at all, but he still insisted on his own way and wanted to complete the plan.
"He is stubborn and will not change." Duran really does not know what to do with such a stubborn person. He will only accept the love he defines, and his desire to dominate is no weaker than that of Machima.
But Makima is a demon, and her nature is to dominate. But Ikari Gendō is a human, so why does he have to make love become what he imagined?
He even went against his wife's wishes for this perfect love in his imagination. His wife obviously did not support the Human Completion Project, but supported her son to restart the timeline and find a more perfect solution. Ikari Gendō didn't care about that at all.
In fact, Ikari Shinji's final choice was to create a world without EVA and apostles, an ordinary world, where he was not a savior or a driver, and bid farewell to his parents, facing the wind, frost, snow and rain of society. Is it better than the Human Completion Project? No one can say for sure.
In fact, the ordinary world is definitely not good, at least it is definitely not good for the island country, because there are apostles, and the island country is of great value. Without apostles, the island country can only be a second-rate country. As an island country, the upper limit of development is limited to death. Even if you run a summer camp, bury coal in the sea, and import wood desperately, it is useless.
Because small countries can easily encounter ritual collapse, that is, being surpassed by big countries. When the Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Shang Dynasty, the Zhou emperor had such a huge advantage, but in the end he was surpassed by Qi, Jin, Chu, and Qin because these four countries had a large development space and a much larger development ceiling than the Zhou emperor.
The Zhou emperor was trapped in the middle and could not develop at all. Therefore, four of the five hegemons emerged from the four peripheral countries, and the last hegemon, Song, was very weak.
So the starting point at the beginning is not decisive, but the development space is really decisive. The Zhou emperor had a good hand, but in the end he could not surpass the four countries with development space.
And the development space of small countries is really small. Even if they are technologically advanced for a period of time, they will eventually be replaced by big countries with large development space.
So if Shinji Ikari restarts an ordinary world, it seems good, but it is not necessarily better than the ending of total destruction. Of course, this is purely from the perspective of small countries, not from the perspective of all mankind.
From the perspective of all mankind, ordinary is definitely more beneficial to big countries. Just like in the Spring and Autumn Period, the four hegemons were hegemonic, but they still had to abide by the Zhou rituals, which means that the hegemonic countries must have more benefits than the Zhou emperor, so playing the pig and eating the tiger in the ordinary is the best route.
In short, Duran is not sure whether it will be happier for Shinji Ikari to restart the ordinary world or continue to play the monster-killing game. After all, in the last movie, the ordinary world was restarted, and there was no ending for Shinji Ikari, and it is not known whether he is happy or not.
Now Denji and Agni are both very happy. Although Agni did not avenge his sister, he got a more orderly world. Of course, sacrifices are inevitable to maintain order.
Of course, some people may say that an order that requires people to sacrifice is better to be destroyed. For example, in "Saving Private Ryan", is it worth it for a group of people to die to save one person?
Of course it is worth it, because "Saving Private Ryan" guards the rules of respecting personal life. Not saving is abandoning the rules, and saving is guarding the rules. Abandoning one person and rituals and music collapse, sacrificing a group of people and order is in place.
To protect the rules, someone must sacrifice, and someone must carry the burden forward. Because this rule can benefit more people. Soldier Ryan is the flag of American democracy. If the flag falls, it will be the end. In order to stand up the flag, sacrifice is inevitable.
Therefore, order must have sacrifices. There is no order that is not established and maintained through sacrifice. Those who say that order that requires sacrifice to maintain is better off not having it are obviously brain-dead. They don’t understand that order is not dropped from the sky, and then everyone maintains it together, but order is established and maintained through sacrifice. If you eat the dividends of order but don’t want to contribute to maintaining order, it’s not that he destroyed the order, but that the order kicked him out to fend for himself.
Agni got the order, so he will have to pay the cost of maintaining the order. If he can let his sister and other children like his sister live in the order, Agni will definitely be happy.
Denji and Agni are considered to have achieved happiness, and only Shinji Ikari is left. And Shinji Ikari’s current problem is the conflict between his parents. As for whether to restart the world or not, he can accept it under Duran’s education. But Ikari Gendō and Ikari Yui have not reached a consensus. Ikari Gendō insists on rescuing Yui, but Yui thinks that only Unit-01 can protect her son. After all, this world is so dangerous, with apostles, demons, blessers, and all kinds of ill-intentioned humans. What if there is no Unit-01? In the troubled times, who will protect his son's happiness and leave a way out for humans? Just rely on Ikari Gendō, an irresponsible father?
With such a big disagreement between his parents, it is natural that he will not be happy as a son.
Ikari Gendō only needs family love, but Yui Ikari considers the whole world. It is no wonder that Yui Ikari has joined Seele a long time ago, after all, the pattern is big. Ikari Gendō has to go through the back door to enter, which means that Ikari Gendō is really not as good as his wife. Although he has a set of conspiracies and tricks, he is not as good as Yui Ikari in the overall view.
Ikari Yui has the kindness of "I am for everyone", while Ikari Gendō is determined to "everyone is for me".
