[[WMG: Shinji will become the God Emperor and will meet ''Fanfic/ThousandShinji'''s Shinji]]
After several very awkward moments both Shinjis will talk about what their different worlds are like. Asukhon will give Asuka tips about being a better Khornate berserker and will angrily ask the Chaos Marine: "I do look like a Slaneeshi to you?". Shinji will explain to their counterpart why he refused the ways of Chaos and will show him a vision of what can happen if he forgets the lessons what his timeline's Emperor taught him (that vision being the events of ''The Open Door''; therefore that -officially declared noncanonical- side-story never happened).
