Shinji Ikari returns from Warhammer

"It seems that her target is the Apostle Cemetery in the second area, Lieutenant Aoba," Fuyutsuki Kozosu stared at the direction of the roaring earthquake source, and then spoke to the operator who was sitting at attention.

"Hi."

"Should I inform Minister Katsuragi?"

"She has been notified. She said she is on her way back. She will be able to return to the headquarters in about five to ten minutes." Aoba Shigeru replied.

His eyes couldn't help but fall on the red dot representing the apostle on the screen. Compared with other colleagues, Aoba Shigeru was more calm.After being rushed to the headquarters by the womb angel, the first thing Aoba Shigeru thought of was——

What if the ones who raided the headquarters were not apostles but humans.

What the Force Angel brought to NERV was not only the riddled Hakone, but also the insecurity that was even more fatal.The patio city that used to be known as an urban fortress has now become a Kabukicho where anyone can come.

"Break through the defense layer in 10 minutes, which means we still need to delay for half an hour." Dongyue Xingzeng had a calm expression on his face, "Maybe we can just kill him here."

At this time, on the other side, the EVA launch work chaired by Hitomi Iga, Deputy Minister of Development Department, is in progress.

"Start input sequence."

"LCL ionization is started, the plug depth is within the estimated range, and the automatic system is ready."

"The starting voltage is close to the critical value and the starting work is all ready."

——The synchronization rate reaches the specified value——

Ayanami Rei lay in the cockpit, closing her eyes tightly, as quiet as a sleeping princess.

"How is the mental state of the first qualified candidate? Is there chest tightness, shortness of breath, or physical discomfort?" Hitomi Iga's cool voice similar to Rei Ayanami's sounded in the cockpit.

"No, the condition is normal." Ayanami Rei opened her eyes, and a string of small bubbles floated from her eyes.

Iga Hitomi, who was wearing a white coat, nodded slightly. She glanced at the busy engineer next to her. At this time, the computer screen in front of him displayed "The qualified person has normal physical functions and a stable mental state." The ups and downs of the ripples also remained constant. normal range.

This is what Hitomi Iga likes most about Ayanami Rei. Just like him, she always remains in a very stable state no matter what the situation.

When they learned that an apostle had broken into Hakone from Odawara Port, all the colleagues were in a hurry, anxiously waiting for the start of Unit Zero, and even wanted to skip some of the work, just to let Rei Ayanami drive Unit Zero as soon as possible. Fight against the apostles.

Under Iga Hitomi's sapphire blue eyes, she thought to herself, why are you panicking?

According to MAGI's calculations, it will take 23 minutes and 47 seconds for the apostle to break into the final defense layer. At this time, the startup work of Unit Zero is all ready. The next work plus moving it to the designated location for blocking will not add up to much. More than 15 minutes.There is even time to kill the Three Kingdoms.

"Everything is normal, release the restraints of EVA Unit Zero and prepare to start!" Hitomi Iga announced.

Unit Zero's single eye glowed red.

Twenty minutes later, the wall of sighs at the end of the tunnel exploded, and a humanoid life form officially broke into the second district of Hakone in the dazzling firelight.But as soon as he appeared, a vermilion knight's spear penetrated his head.

A special weapon to annihilate the apostles, a simple Longinus Spear.

A mass-produced simple gun of Longinus that is different from the official Gun of Longinus and a replica of the Gun of Longinus, also known as the Knight's Lance.It is a product of the Bethany Base's research on the third apostle. It is inferior to the high-vibration particle series products in terms of aggressiveness, but as can be understood from the name, it has excellent performance in the absolute field force field against the apostles.

Ayanami Rei always fought with all her strength. With this blow, she broke through the apostle's defense layer. The vermilion spinning knight's spear cut and stirred the apostle's flesh and blood until his head was completely crushed.

"Target found, EVA Unit Zero engages head-on!" Aoba Shigeru said.

After Unit Zero was started, the command of EVA Unit Zero was transferred from Hitomi Iga to the central control room. At this time, everyone present also witnessed the battle situation in front of them through the vision of EVA Unit Zero.

"Okay, let's kill him in one go!" Hinata Cheng clenched his fists excitedly.

"Where's the official No. [-] machine and the fifth-qualified candidate, Makiha." Fuyutsuki Yuzuma turned to look at Aoba Shigeru and asked this question.

"According to Ibuki Maya's reply, the official No. [-] unit has also been started and is on its way here." Aoba Shigeru replied.

At this time, behind the breached Wall of Sighs, the Womb Angel, whose head was crushed, has not lost its ability to fight.Of course, this is also natural. If the core of the apostle is not broken, any damage to other limbs and organs will not be fatal to the apostle.

But since it is a womb angel, it stands to reason that there should be a new weakness.

"Rei, attack the target's abdomen! There may be a weak point there!" Aoba Shigeru's voice sounded in the cockpit.

Although this is a bit despicable, the apostles and humans are two hostile camps that will never stop fighting, and using every possible means is the right choice.Shinji Ikari's fighting attitude with a bit of aristocratic arrogance is an anomaly.

"Understood." Ayanami Rei said.

The knight's spear spun again, sucking in a large amount of flesh and blood. This time, the tip of the spear reached the contents of the womb angel's belly.

The simple Lance of Longelus, which gathered all the kinetic energy, heat and impact, tore apart the space menacingly as if it was about to engulf the apostle──and then galloped, galloped, and galloped.

As if to penetrate the womb angel's power from top to bottom, the red light emerging from the rotation of the knight's spear was ready to complete a killing blow.

However, it turned out to be unsuccessful.

Accompanied by a hissing sound that could make the brain tremble, a huge golden halo emerged above the two.

——Angel halo, complete liberation!

The next moment, the huge figure of Unit Zero retreated backwards along with the flames after a fierce explosion. The impact sound and flash in the tunnel made some staff in the central command room cower in fear.

"How could this happen?" Qingye Shigeru finally showed a shocked expression.

"Within 0.31 seconds, the density of souls in the target area soared from 2.9 to 29.4, and the intensity increased tenfold!"

The unit of measurement for the soul density in the absolute realm here is the water angel. For example, the day angel is 0.91, the thunder angel is 7.4, and the power angel is 31.3. That is to say, in a short period of time, this womb angel, which has flaws everywhere, can be expelled instantly. Rise to the field strength second only to the Angel of Power!

"Look at the angel halo above the head, the apostle is completely liberated."

"Idiot, the appearance of the angel halo just means that the apostle has entered a state of full output," Akagi Ritsuko's voice sounded in the central command room. She nodded slightly towards Fuyutsuki Yuzuma, and then looked at the figure revealed in the firelight on the screen. , "It is wrong to attack the apostle's abdomen. The womb of the womb angel is not a weakness... You men have made the wrong target from the beginning!"

Ritsuko Akagi took a deep breath.

Just like the terrifying and destructive power of Unit [-] when Shinji Ikari encountered a crisis, just like the powerful posture of Unit [-] when the Self-Defense Forces attacked...it is obviously irrelevant, but Ritsuko Akagi is... At this moment, I remembered the cat I abandoned at my grandma's house. It was the proof of my and Yuantang's children.

Mom, Ritsuko Akagi lowered her eyes. At this moment, she was slightly absent-minded.

Mom, your child is an unfit mother, an unfit lover, and an unfit daughter.

For all the staff here, they may never forget the Angel of the Womb in their lifetime. It is not that this apostle is so powerful, but that his form is too ferocious and terrifying... His head has been crushed by Unit Zero, and it has been removed from the neck. Blood gurgled out, flowing down the body like a fountain.Its abdomen made a gurgling sound, as if something was squirming inside. Organ-like objects flowed from the lower body, and her arms turned into two bulging pregnant bellies.

It can be said that every body tissue is challenging human psychological endurance.But even so, He is still alive and rushing towards the goal!

"Warning! The upper outer protective wall is broken! The final barrier is broken!"

"The target has arrived in the second area. The blockade of Unit Zero failed! It fell completely below, and both sides are moving quickly towards the Tiamat area where the apostle's remains are stored!"

"Where's Katsuragi? Haven't they come back yet?!"

Aoba Shigeru looked at the big screen anxiously. He was not afraid of the terrifying posture of the apostle, but he was afraid that Ayanami Rei would die because of his wrong command.

Unit Zero, which originally had the upper hand, was completely suppressed by the Womb Angel. Unit Zero's attack on his abdomen completely stimulated him. With a force field that was absolutely superior to Unit Zero, he squeezed Unit Zero's body. The field expands.

Even under the baptism of this shock wave, the aircraft body feedback warning crisis prompts in the cockpit.The pain of being burned all over the body was also fed back to the driver's body sensation simultaneously. Ayanami gritted her teeth and her eyes glowed red.

Ayanami Rei's mental toughness has always been second only to Ikari Shinji. She often endured the pain of Apostle Thunder that seemed to burn the skin all over her body for a full minute.

Until a pink-white umbilical cord flew out of the Uterus Angel's abdomen and easily penetrated Unit Zero's force field, Unit Zero's complete defeat finally arrived.

Just like what happened before on the seabed west of Cape Shio at the southern end of the Kii Peninsula, wrinkles appeared at the contact area between Unit Zero and the Womb Angel, like earthworms, and lines like bulging blood vessels quickly spread from the contact surface to the entire body.

"Danger, Unit Zero's body is being eroded!" Hyuga Makoto warned.

"The mental map of the first qualified person, Ayanami Rei, is in chaos! Mental pollution is beginning to appear!"

At the moment when the erosion exceeded 5.00%, Ayanami Rei's eyes went dark, and the illusion that Shinami had experienced appeared before her eyes again.

Darkness descended overwhelmingly.

At this moment, it is no longer the picture of the past.In the dark fantasy world, Ayanami Rei saw another version of herself rising from the ink-like ground. She exuded a sense of intimidation as if she was releasing it. It was so deep and dark, but also extremely clear, as if she could directly see through the deepest part. intense gaze.

"Who are you?" Ayanami Rei asked.

"Apostle, the person we call an apostle." Ayanami Rei replied as she rose from the water.

The self in the water, the true self, the self called the apostle, the human self, Ayanami Rei was a little distracted.She couldn't help clenching her fists, but what she touched was a glass-like object——

- Rosary beads.

Another Ayanami Rei rose from the water, showing a weird smile that normal Ayanami Rei could never show, "Do you want to..."

Ayanami Rei's voice rising from the water suddenly stopped, because she saw Ayanami Rei in front of her looking straight behind her——

This is the world of mental images, and it should be empty except for yourself.

But - the water was clear, and another figure seemed to be rippling out.

"What are you?"

[-]: Annihilation completed, the last apostle

Every apostle is born with two missions.

The first is to contact Lilith (Adam) to re-correct the future of the world to its predetermined destiny, and the second is to seek its own completion and evolution.

Including Li Lin, life is lacking.Kaoru Nagisa once said that it is not uncommon for organisms to become extinct on this planet in large numbers. It is better to promote the evolution of life. Life is supposed to change itself by constantly adapting to the environment, and all of this started from ancient times. A programmed extermination operation.

It wasn't just Li Lin who was seeking completion, all the apostles were like this.It's just that other compatriots who don't hold the fruit of wisdom can only rely on biological instinct to act.

The Water Angel will continue to adapt and evolve from Li Lin's attacks on itself, the Grain Angel will parasitize EVA and obtain the completion of its body, the Bird Angel will find wisdom from Li Lin's spirit, and the Womb Angel's completion object will never stop. None of them are the remains of the apostles.

Amishal, who carries the fragments of all the apostles from the third apostle to the No. 15 apostle, does not need to do anything extra. He is the most special individual. From the beginning to the end, his real goal is the Evangelion of mankind. .

The fusion of the Apostle and the Evangelion will complete the last piece of the puzzle for Him.

Among them, the first qualified person to drive Unit Zero is the most special. The moment he saw Unit Zero, the Womb Angel couldn't wait to merge with him.

It was completely different from the feeling when Unit 5.00 and Unit [-] came into contact. The erosion and assimilation had already occurred at the moment of contact, and the critical point of [-]% was exceeded in a short period of time.That feeling of oneness is as if it is not that I am assimilating to this body, but that the body itself is undefended against itself, pushing itself to evolve again.He even doubted whether his body could hold this amazing power, but even if it was broken, it was still full.He was convinced that this divine person was superior to the apostles.

But a new figure appeared from the reflection in the water, and just listening to his voice gave me the sharp feeling of a blade piercing my skin.

"Now that you're here, don't leave." Shinji Ikari's unabashedly malicious voice reached his ears from behind.

This is a world of mental images. The apostle with Rei Ayanami's appearance suddenly woke up. The man in front of him was a frequent visitor and even the owner.

She suddenly raised her hand and grabbed the man rising from the water. His power of erosion and assimilation not only acted on the body, but also on the spirit.

Something magical happened. The human in front of him was completely defenseless against him. His palm easily penetrated his skin and moved freely in his body.This means that I can easily occupy his mind and complete the assimilation.

"The last Apostle Bird Angel Aral did this, and the next one was the Horrible Angel Yirol. Guess what their endings will be," Shinji Ikari's scarlet eyes stared at Ayanami Rei in front of him, and his cruelty suddenly appeared. smile, "Amishal."

The invasion was mutual. At the moment when the two souls came into contact, Shinji Ikari also understood everything about him.Including the memory, authority, and desires of the womb angel.

Fear exploded in his heart, and the apostle Ayanami Rei instinctively wanted to retreat, but the moment he pulled away, what he saw was his broken arm. The original palm had been left inside Shinji Ikari's body and disappeared in an instant.

Unbearable pain appeared in the spirit of the apostle, who looked at his broken arm and wanted to heal it but could not.This is a source of incompleteness, and its manifestation in the real world is that the front end of the right arm of the Womb Angel turns into blood, and he strips the concept of his right hand from his body.

"Rei, come here." Shinji Ikari waved to Ayanami Rei.

Ayanami Rei waded into the water and walked in the direction of Ikari Shinji. At this time, the pain of the womb angel Amishal was also reflected in the spiritual world created by him and Ayanami Rei.The black water rippled and turned into a bloody sea in an instant.The endless sea has waves rising in all directions at the same time, and the blood is as red as the burning sky.

"If the target of His erosion is me, He will all stay here. But now, after all, I am separated from Unit [-] and Unit [-], so I don't have much time to stay. All I can do is-"

Shinji Ikari's voice not only rang in Ayanami Rei's ears, but also echoed in the apostle's ears.As Shinji Ikari's voice fell, time also stood still.

With a hiss, Amishal felt something touch his chest, so he couldn't help but lower his head.

--How is this going?

He saw some kind of red object stretching to his chest, and then he noticed that the object had grabbed something equally red, and then he noticed that the object was his heart——

Amishal failed to raise his lowered head, and his entire body disintegrated into the red ocean as if it had turned into a pool of blood.

In the real space, a blazing gale came from the end of another tunnel, and a red storm rushed out at a high speed that could not be caught by the naked eye.

"It's me, third uncle!"

The girl announced her victory.

--------

--------

"Sure enough, it's still unrealistic to strip away the fruit of life from the soul."

At this time, on the return transport plane, the third boy opened his eyes.He didn't know if his actions just now had any effect.

Misato Katsuragi frowned and looked at Shinji Ikari next to her. She was filled with anxiety and couldn't understand why the other party could be so calm.The rough red sea outside the porthole window.She glanced at her watch. There was a slight delay on the way back, and it would take more than 20 minutes to reach the headquarters. They were still above Tateyama, and even to the new Odawara Port, there was still more than 80 kilometers away.

"Don't worry, if nothing happens, we can wait until we go back..."

"...If you keep doing this, you will have no choice but to collect their bodies." Misato Katsuragi said coldly.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Shinji Ikari said.
