Or maybe he wants to devour Eve's reincarnated soul when he finds it to always keep it with him?

I'm thinking about this as well. Since Verloren/Ayanami stated in Kapitel 97, reaper cannot have a feeling of love, maybe it would have to do something with his mind about 'his love for Eve'.

Even though, the plan of reviving as Verloren and finding Eve's soul had made him lose a lot of precious things in his human life, maybe he hadn't realized that yet.
