I build nuclear bombs in the giant world.

Chapter 157 The apostle is just my pet (two in one)

"Mr. Ian, Unit [-] is really powerful!" Shinji's eyes flashed: "I killed the apostle in just a few strokes!"

As the pilot of Unit-[-], Shinji knew very well what it was like to drive an EVA. Not long ago, he had controlled Unit-[-] to fight three apostles.

To be honest, the battle was so brutal that he once thought he was dead.

To this day, he still doesn't quite understand how Unit [-] defeated Water Angel and Day Angel.

In Thunder Angel's time, Unit Zero cooperated with him and used a new type of electromagnetic gun. It was understandable that he defeated the apostle, but the first two battles were a kind of hellish torture for him.

Especially when he first piloted Unit [-] to fight Water Angel, he didn't even know that he was driving EVA at first.

Before the age of 14, he had been living an ordinary life, but suddenly one day he was asked to drive a super-large robot to fight monsters to the death, and he was told that the consequences of failure would be the destruction of the whole world. He was not prepared at all.

He fought bravely against the apostles because he couldn't do it otherwise.

But today's battle between Unit [-] and the Sixth Apostle was different from any three battles he had participated in.

Unit [-] almost won with a crushing gesture, and the apostle was no match at all.

He suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was much lighter. It turned out that there was such a powerful foreign aid.

The combination of Ian and Asuka made him feel very at ease, as if he had found support.

"Shinji-kun is also very powerful." Ian touched Shinji Ikari's head and praised: "I have read the information. Unit-[-] saved the world three times."

Shinji scratched his head in embarrassment: "It's all luck. I'm just an outsider, far behind the well-trained second-qualified person."

With that said, Unit [-] jumped up from the bottom of the sea, performed an elegant back roll, and landed perfectly.

Insert the bolt and the hatch opens, and the iron-white capsule pops out.

Asuka, who was in the cockpit, controlled the LCL drainage and opened the cockpit from the inside.

She grabbed the steel bars at the entrance, flipped out quickly, and stood on the back of Unit [-].

The fiery red combat uniform reflected the sunlight, and Asuka looked down at Shinji Ikari.

"Well, the third qualified person, now you know how big the gap is between the No. [-] machine and your trial model!"

Shinji nodded: "Miss Asuka, you are really amazing."

"Just be happy that I am coming to Japan to support you." Asuka laughed with her hands on her hips.

Shinji echoed awkwardly. Although the second-qualified person was very powerful, his personality was not very likable.

"Asuka, come down and rest for a while." Misato Katsuragi's voice came from below: "You performed very well, but don't be too arrogant. From now on, you and Shinji will be companions fighting side by side, and you need to take more care of them. Give him a moment."

"Tch." Asuka looked around a few times and asked, "Mr. Kaji? Isn't he here?"

Speaking of Kaji Ryoji, Misato was angry. That bastard left so many people and fled alone on a plane.

"Forget about that bastard, come down first. Ritsuko will bring someone over soon to assess the damage to Unit [-]."

"It's really boring." Asuka shrugged. During the time they were chatting, Ian had already found someone to push the gangway for boarding the ship.

Asuka held the handle of the gangway and left Unit [-] safely.

Ian reached out his hand to meet her and handed her a clean towel.

Her hair was still wet. When driving EVA, she had to be in a closed environment filled with LCL. Although humans can get oxygen directly from the LCL liquid, it is not a comfortable feeling to have the lungs filled with water, because that The thing is actually a bit sticky.

"What a beautiful victory, Asuka." Ian gave a thumbs up.

"Let me give you some credit this time." Asuka grabbed a towel and wiped her face, then turned around and said, "I'll leave the rest to you. I'm going to take a shower first."

Asuka put a towel on her head and walked to the cabin's bathroom.

Misato Katsuragi's eyes shifted to Ian's face: "Are you Kaji Ryoji's assistant?"

"Yes." Ian nodded: "I have admired Miss Katsuragi's name for a long time. Mr. Kaji often mentioned you when he was in Germany."

"Him?" Misato Katsuragi snorted coldly: "I'll settle the score with him when I get back."

"I think you might as well come work here from now on. That bastard is not reliable at all."

"Mr. Kaji just has too many things to worry about. I am actually very taken care of by him." Ian politely declined Misato Katsuragi's invitation.

He is still using a false identity now. If he goes to Misato, once someone traces his file, there may be something wrong.

You still have to rely on Kaji Ryōji to be able to move smoothly here. Apart from anything else, Kaji Ryōji is still very capable. He was the man who stole Adam's embryo from SEELE, and he was also a triple agent. If it weren't for the tricks behind him. The investigation was too deep and the intelligence bureau couldn't do anything to him.

"You are very capable. You are simply showing off your talents to that bastard." Misato was still unwilling: "You are so young and can make such quick judgments and actions on the battlefield. If it weren't for you, we would really be in danger. , I’m serious, come work here.”

Although she didn't want to admit it, Misato did feel that she was inferior to this young German man at the moment.

She really wanted to dig Ian into her place and cultivate it well.

"I'm very grateful for Miss Misato's appreciation, but we'd better go back to NERV headquarters to talk about this kind of thing."

"Ok."

Seeing that Ian was so determined, Misato knew that it would be difficult to lure him over.

"Then it's not crossing the line to come and help. The body of the Sixth Apostle is left under the sea. Come and help me talk to those old guys and ask them to help fish out the Sixth Apostle. This is a rare harvest that can make human beings Get to know the apostles better.”

"Okay." Ian nodded.

He himself is also very curious about the apostles. Regarding the core of the apostles and the source of their power, Ian feels that there is something worth digging into.

Not long after, the fleet helped drag the fish angel's huge body to the surface of the sea.

It was a giant creature that was over [-] meters tall. Adult blue whales were dwarfed in front of it.

Ian stood at the port of New Yokosuka, looking at Fish Angel's body. He frowned and felt a strange wave coming from Fish Angel's body, like a weak wave like "life".

But Fish Angel was indeed defeated by Unit [-], and he was already dead and could not die again.

He was a little confused, but with so many people watching at this moment, he couldn't go into the fish angel's body to find out what was going on, so he could only keep an eye out.

But although he couldn't escape, he had other means.

He found an excuse to go to the ship to get something, went to the deserted observation deck alone, and created Levi's "crystal puppet".

Ian and Levi explained the situation.

"In other words, do you want me to take a look inside that monster's belly?"

"Yes, please, Captain Levi."

"That's all. Although it's disgusting, this is not my body anyway. Let me go and see it for you." Levi jumped from the observation deck into the water after two or three moves.

His movement into the water was very light. At this time, everyone's attention was on the huge monster, and no one noticed the small splash here.

Ian can communicate directly with Levi, that is the body he created, and there is an invisible connection between the two.

"Crystal puppets are very convenient at times like this." Ian said, "All diving equipment is omitted."

"Indeed." Levi nodded under the water.

This body doesn't need to breathe, and there's no need to think about injuries. It's just a disposable item anyway.

Based on this situation, in some cases, it can have a stronger effect than the main body, such as tying a bomb to carry out a suicide attack.

If you don't consider your own survival rate, you can still use the method of exchanging injuries for injuries when you are besieged by many people.

Even if he encounters a human with a gun, Levi can resist it with the strength of the material of the crystal puppet.

It just feels a little delayed in operation, and there are also issues with durability and explosive power. The durability and explosive power of the crystal puppet are fixed, so it can only perform at an average level and cannot suddenly explode.

"However, the technology in this world is really advanced." Levi sighed under the water.

He could see the ruins under the water, even if they were just wreckage, he could see how prosperous this place had been.

"That building looks like it has thirty or forty floors." Levi stared at a collapsed skyscraper: "There are a lot of cars, and their roads are also beautifully built."

"Their basic technology is at least 100 years ahead of us." Ian replied: "In some aspects, it may be more than 100 years ahead of us. The humans here have escaped the shackles of gravity. They can make rockets and move outward. We launched satellites into space and established a base on the moon.”

"Hey, hey, hey, this sounds too scary." Levi's mood was complicated.

Ten years ago, he rode a horse and chopped down giants on Parady Island, using kerosene lamps and eating wheat shell bread. Even electric lights first appeared in front of him a few years ago.

But at this moment, he was talking about outer space, and he felt as if they were completely unrelated to each other.

Looking up at the huge monster made him feel as if he was in a dream.

"Can I go to the moon one day?" Levi sighed.

"There is a chance." Ian said: "The wave is right above you, go ahead, Captain Levi."

"Okay." Levi began to work hard.

The monster's body was blown to pieces, with holes everywhere.

The Fish Angel, which lost its AT position, could not remain intact under the explosion of the torpedo.

Levi penetrated into the fish angel's belly from the blind spot of his vision.

There was darkness before my eyes, and I couldn't see anything.

Ian gave him a waterproof flashlight, and he turned on the flashlight to illuminate the place, surrounded by a piece of cold flesh and blood.

Levi followed Ian's instructions and walked around this intricate dark space.

"It's just ahead."

The light of the flashlight illuminated the steel.

It was a huge knife, and a broken red ball that was much taller than Will's body.

"That's the apostle's core. Commander, you try to make contact with the broken core."

"Okay." Levi walked step by step to the core and stretched out his hand to touch it.

Ian felt the faint fluctuation.

That is the soul of the fish angel. Although the body is broken, the soul of the fish angel has not completely dissipated.

But it was also very fast. Although beings like apostles are physically very powerful, possessing a huge size and a terrifying AT field, their souls are very fragile.

They are creatures born from the fruit of life and have strong vitality, but the price is that they lack intelligence and can only act according to instinct.

If it is left alone, the fish angel's soul may not be able to survive even half a day, and it will turn into an element of nothingness.

Ian thought about it and chose to take away the fish angel's soul.

He came to the coordinates. Although the coordinates were completely dark, there was a faint light where Levi was, and the fish angel's soul gave off a faint light like a firefly.

Levi stretched out his hand and held up the ball of light.

Later, the crystal puppet collapsed and his soul returned to the grotesque insect.

The soul must be placed in the body to exist for a long time. Ian held the soul of the fish angel in the palm of his hand.

If you want to save this soul that is about to dissipate, you must warm it up.

Ian connected with the soul of the fish angel through the weird bug, and could not feel any emotions. The fish angel was like a blank piece of paper. When it came here, it was just the instinct of life, making it try to contact Adam's embryo.

It's a very simple thing to control it.

"Excuse me, Captain." Ian said, "I have to take it into my body. See you next time."

"Okay, be careful." Levi disappeared.

Ian returned to reality, and he kept the soul of the fish angel in his body.

He had an idea, since he could create a crystallized Levi, why couldn't he create a crystallized apostle?
The fish angel's soul is already in his hands. As long as he spends some effort, he can make the fish angel reappear.

Although an apostle controlled by him cannot restore the full strength of the apostle or the size of the fish angel, there should be no problem in creating an AT field for defense. When he came into contact with the soul of the fish angel, he had already seen it This possibility.

"Sleep well, baby. The good days in the future depend on you." Ian patted his left shoulder, where the soul of the fish angel resided.

He left the ship and returned to the port.

In the distance, a NERV helicopter flew in.

Dr. Ritsuko Akagi arrived at the port of New Yokosuka.

"It actually set a new record for synchronization rate. It's really impressive." Ritsuko looked at the data retrieved from the No. [-] machine with a surprised look on her face.

"It's not just me." Asuka said, "Everyone also helped me a lot."

Asuka looked at Ian approaching and waved.

Shinji Ikari, who was standing aside with no interest, happily ran to Ian's side and started chatting with this big brother.
