Shinji Ikari returns from Warhammer

And it is also equipped with a simulated insertion bolt developed by Ritsuko Akagi, which can start fighting immediately.

Ritsuko Akagi didn't expect that the simulated insertion plug she developed and the first machine of the Mark series would make its debut, and that it would face such terrifying Fourteen Apostles for the first time.

"Shinji Ikari, where are you going?" Ritsuko Akagi suddenly saw Shinji Ikari striding towards the elevator shaft.

"Go and pilot Unit [-]. I won't disturb your chat." Shinji Ikari waved his hand.

Misato Katsuragi and Ritsuko Akagi's brains went crazy because of the sudden arrival of the apostle, and they lost their usual calmness.But Shinji Ikari is not nervous, because there is still Unit [-] that can delay time, and he does not think that Ikari Gentang and the Human Completion Committee will have such a big oversight.

Indeed, Unit [-], equipped with a simulated insertion bolt, had arrived in the underground space under Hakone immediately, waiting for the arrival of the Fourteen Apostles.

Deeper inside, in the experimental testing site, a hatch with the NERV half-fig leaf logo printed on it slowly opened.

"Ah Qiu!" The girl in pink combat uniform sneezed, and then slowly raised her hand, "Damn it! It's so cold! It's so cold! It's obviously red, but why isn't there an air conditioner?"

At this time, she was standing on the moving platform and had been transported to the red body at the bottom.

As the sound of exhaust resounded around her, and the originally loose pink combat uniform instantly clung to her skin, the girl with glasses looked at her new clothes with some joy.

"Hey hey hey! The new combat uniform is very good, and the breasts fit very snugly!" As the girl moved her body deliberately, the curves of her chest swayed up and down as she swayed.

Everything was ready, and the red Unit [-] slowly ascended to the mobile platform.

For people like Ikari Yuantang who have read the script of fate, they have already prepared two plans before the arrival of the Angel of Power.

The first is that the Angel of Power appears at the right time. At that time, there will naturally be fully armed Unit [-], Unit [-], Unit [-], and Unit [-] controlled by a simulated insertion bolt to fight against him.

The second is that the force angel may appear in advance after a delay, and the No. [-] unit that simulates the insertion bolt and the fifth qualified person who is waiting here for orders in advance-Makiha Marie Elantrias, are for this purpose.

"I am a painter with great painting skills! I have a new organization to paint her more beautiful!"

At the same time, the shaking in Hakone continued.In the underground space, it was as if the purple rays of light were tearing apart the sky. The movement in Hakone reached a climax before the rays of light arrived. It was as if a huge gap had been torn apart in the world, and a majestic giant descended into the underground space with a powerful impact. The earth Shaking like an earthquake.

The apostle fell to the earth, and at this moment, Unit [-], which was ready to go, rushed over with a sonic spear at the moment it received the order.

Compared with the aircraft controlled by the pilot, the No. [-] aircraft simulated to be inserted into the air under the bolt is more stable and without any hesitation.

[-]: The promised day arrives

"Everyone enters the first combat position and prepares for the Hakone attack." Aoba Shigeru, who was wearing headphones, spoke in a deep voice.

"Where's the target?" Ikari Yuantang's voice sounded in the headphones.

"The defense layer has been broken through. Based on the current situation of the headquarters, it is impossible to effectively block the opponent before it reaches the interior of Hakone." Aoba Shigeru replied.

"It doesn't matter, let's meet him inside Hakone." Ikari Gendo said, hanging up the signal.

At this time, the hatch behind him opened, and Misato Katsuragi came quickly.Ritsuko Akagi is in charge of Shinji Ikari. As the head of the combat department, she should fulfill her responsibilities.

"It's too late to stop the battle, so let's go directly to the internal battle in Hakone. Where is the No. [-], the first advanced unit of the Mark series." Misato Katsuragi asked.

Hyuga Makoto immediately replied, "Unit No. [-] has been deployed in the underground space. The mecha is equipped with the mecha type F, which is a close-combat type. It is ready."

Misato Katsuragi nodded slightly, and continued her instructions, "Inform Asuka to activate the dusty Unit [-] and deploy him in the underground world to protect the headquarters facilities."

"Minister, the No. [-] machine has been started and is being transported to the underground space." Hinata Cheng replied.

"Huh? Is the driver Asuka?" Misato Katsuragi frowned. As the head of the combat department, she didn't know that the sealed No. [-] unit had been activated.This shows that managers with higher authority are imposing orders beyond themselves.

The combat department is the first department. There are only two commanders who can have higher authority than themselves.

"It's the order from Commander-in-Chief Ikari Gendo. The pilot is not Asuka, but the pilot of the former Unit [-], Mary Elantrias Makiha."

"The pilot of the former Unit [-]? You mean the slightly crazy Makiha?"

The first thing that Katsuragi Misato thought of was not Makiha's outstanding combat ability, but the thought that if Makiha piloted Unit [-], what about Asuka?With her coy character... Misato Katsuragi's first concern was Asuka's mental condition.

There was no time to think, but there was a loud roar, and a pink light curtain fell from the sky of the underground world like sunset. At the same time, rocks as big as hills fell into this world, and smoke spewed out and splashed on the underground world. Space is like cleaning the world with glowing light.

The first thing that caught the eye was the apostle's lower body. Although the current situation was quite serious, many people still wanted to laugh when they saw him.Because although the apostle in front of him maintained a humanoid shape, his legs seemed to have been amputated at the knees, leaving only the thigh part.If the human form is used as a standard, His thighs are only half as long.

But He does not walk with two legs. As the roots of his legs move, the pink absolute realm also unfolds under Him, supporting the apostle's huge figure and slowly floating in the air, looking down. Underground world.

To be precise, it is the pyramid in the center of the underworld.

In the picture shown on the screen, countless swaying pink light strips swung their long tails under the Angel of Power, and the rays of light illuminated his body.It makes people unable to laugh at all.

No.14 Apostle, Angel of Power Cellul, he is the only apostle who has reached the underground space by his own strength.He is the angel announcing death and the catastrophe in human form.

"The simulation insertion bolt system of Unit [-] is connected to MAGI, and the battle begins!" Misato Katsuragi announced.

Even faster than Katsuragi Misato's words.The moment it connected to the MAGI network and received the attack command, Unit [-] grasped the sonic spear, and with the majestic momentum of starting subsonic speed, it rushed in front of the Angel of Power who had just arrived.

While sprinting, other operations are also being carried out... The field is unfolding, the field is neutralized, the sonic spear is pushed with all its strength, green high-frequency vibrating blades are spread out on both sides of the spear, as if piercing defeat, breaking through the absolute realm of scarlet of the first layer.

This is EVA controlled by an analog insertion bolt, with stability and accuracy that a human driver can never achieve.Both field expansion and field neutralization are just right, allowing the sonic spear responsible for the attack to break through the force angel's field defense layer with maximum advantage.

So what if it's the peerless Shinji Ikari?In terms of obedience to orders and precision and stability, even the most outstanding Ayanami Rei cannot compare.

The EVA that simulates being inserted under the plug can be manipulated to perfection!This is what Ritsuko Akagi is proud of!

"Very good, just do it all at once!" Hinata Cheng clenched his fists, "Perhaps we can defeat this apostle without the need for Unit [-] and Unit [-]!"

On the display screen where he is responsible for monitoring the internal situation of Unit [-], the progress bar belonging to the domain expansion is flashing with a dazzling red light, advancing from the left side of the screen to the right side at high speed, and the domain of Unit [-] reaches its extreme in an instant.The preliminary results in MAGI at this time show that it will break through to the core of the Angel of Power in eight seconds.

Unit [-] worked hard to neutralize the crimson field and thrust the spear into the core of the Angel of Power.The force angel floating in mid-air did not struggle, the crimson waves were fine, and the surface of the domain was like a silver ingot with fine lines on the surface.As the tip of the spear gradually came closer, the dancing crimson waves gradually solidified, and Unit [-] was completely unable to move.

At this time, the force angel really started to take the first action.

He simply stretched out his arms, which were white silk-like objects similar to toilet paper, and penetrated the body of Unit [-] without any hindrance.Let Him fly back in the opposite direction at a faster speed than when He came.

When He first came, everyone was still laughing at Him in their hearts, as if He was made into a mutilated human form like a pig. But when He really started to attack, it was as if God had sent down judgment and was irresistible.

"Unit No. [-] is incapacitated!" Hinata Makoto announced the result with a trembling voice, "Failed! Even if it is a purely war weapon that eliminates humanity, it can't do anything."

Unit [-] may be able to expand its territory again, but the machine itself cannot withstand the impact.The mecha was making a terrifying tearing sound, and the armor of the melee F-type, which was known as the strongest defense, was deforming at a speed visible to the naked eye.The Apostle's attack caused irreparable damage to Unit [-]'s shell.

But the next second, the dazzling crimson light penetrated his abdomen again, and blood spurted out from his body like a spring.

"Activate the self-defense system of the underground city." Misato Katsuragi said. She was not as optimistic as Ritsuko Akagi from the beginning.From the beginning to the end, she was executing the delaying plan, waiting for the strongest human being to confront the strongest apostle.

In the eyes of the world, Ritsuko Akagi, the head of the NERV development department, is the founder of MAGI and a unique genius.But she knew that MAGI was actually the work of Ritsuko Akagi's mother, Naoko Akagi.Only the simulated insertion plug system is her real creation.Ritsuko Akagi has too many expectations for this.

In the eyes of onlookers, although the stability of the simulated insertion bolt has been greatly improved, it is not as good as the EVA with its own driver in terms of upper limit.Therefore, after Shinji Ikari took office as the second committee member a few months ago, Misato Katsuragi voted in favor of his proposal that "the simulation insertion bolt system can only be tested on machines that do not have dedicated pilots."

It's not a moral obsession, but Misato Katsuragi also feels that the combat power of an EVA with a dedicated driver will be higher than that of an EVA controlled by a simulated plug.

And it turned out to be so.

As Misato Katsuragi's order was issued, the bullet chain slid into the gun chamber, the missile warmed up, the hive rocket began to idling, and the Seamus multiple rocket launcher system locked on the target... Hakone itself was a city born to fight against the apostle, even in the underground space. There is a self-defense defense network, and situations like Force Angel breaking into the underground world are naturally anticipated in advance.

I saw that all the partitions in the underground space, including the mountains and forests, were opened, and ground confrontation missiles and long-range anti-ship missiles with thick white tail smoke were all fired towards Li Angel, who was gradually approaching the No. [-] aircraft.

The sirens were getting louder and louder, and everyone was looking at the big screen.The crimson field shook, and the picture on the screen also shook. The figure in the video seemed to be accumulating tens of millions of power that could tear the world apart at any time.

"Failure, it's useless, nothing is useful!" Hinata Cheng said.

Unlike the previous situation of Apostle Thunder, Apostle Thunder's calculation capacity is comparable to that of the Three Sages' system, allowing him to defeat all attacks in mid-air.But the force apostle ignored it, just ignored it.

No matter what kind of attack it is, it can't slightly change the trajectory of his actions. His invincible domain is enough to resist all attacks.He just floated in front of the paralyzed Unit [-], rolled it up with his toilet paper-like arms, and seemed to be observing the condition of the unit in front of him.Then he threw it aside as if he was very dissatisfied and ignored it.

"I don't know why, but I feel like He is choosing food." Hinata Makoto said.

"Why do you say that?" Misato Katsuragi turned her head and asked coldly, crossing her arms.

"No, it's nothing, right?" Hinata Cheng scratched his head nervously, "My sister was like this when she was a picky eater."

"Is your sister also an apostle?" Aoye Shigeru couldn't help complaining.

"Of course not, it just gives me the same feeling." Hinata Cheng frowned.

Facing such a terrifying apostle, they were still able to chat so easily. Misato Katsuragi didn't know if it was because they were big-hearted or because they were just plain stupid.She couldn't help but dial Ritsuko Akagi's phone number.

"How's it going?" she asked immediately the moment the call was connected.

"We have arrived at the first test site, preparations have been completed, and we will log in immediately. I hope you will delay for a while, about 10 minutes will be enough. If time is tight, 5 minutes will be fine." Ritsuko Akagi's voice was on the other end of the phone. sounded.

"No problem." Misato Katsuragi glanced at Unit [-], which was about to arrive in the underground space. After knowing the situation of Force Angel, Unit [-] would of course carry out the delaying mission.

If you don't fight it and just delay it, maybe 10 minutes will be fine.Coupled with other methods, Katsuragi Misato's eyes gradually became firmer.

"Don't worry, be completely ready before setting off. If the apostles don't respond with all their strength this time, even Shinji Ikari may be defeated. I will try my best to buy you time." Misato Katsuragi sighed, "I will send the data to You, you’ll understand.”

At this time, Ritsuko Akagi, who was in the first testing ground, still understood what Misato Katsuragi said, but her expression had become serious.

Although the Angel of Power this time is coming with force, what Ritsuko Akagi is really worried about is the fate of the promised day.But as the person in charge and commander of Shinji Ikari, Misato Katsuragi knows him better than she does. Even she said so...

With a ding-dong, the data Misato Katsuragi mentioned was sent to Ritsuko Akagi's tablet.This is the data on the soul density of the MAGI Apostle of Observation in the absolute realm. As Ritsuko Akagi read through it, her expression gradually became serious.

At the same moment, this data was also presented in the commander-in-chief's office.

"Do you have any data on the soul density in the absolute realm? He is indeed the strongest rejection-type apostle, with such strength." Fuyutsuki Kozeng looked at the report in front of him and said faintly.

Still taking everyone's favorite water apostle as the target reference unit, the soul density of the absolute domain at the peak of Power Angel reaches nine times that of him, which means that the strength of his domain has an overwhelming advantage over other apostles and EVA.

It also means that he is fighting against other EVA machines, just like Shinji Ikari fighting against the apostles. He is completely able to crush the opponent with an overwhelming advantage.

And it happened that when Shinji Ikari was piloting Unit-[-], the density of souls in the field he expanded was also at this value.Although it fluctuates slightly, it basically fluctuates in the range of eight to ten times.

It seems that the two are comparable, but the apostle's continuous combat time is unlimited, and the extremely terrifying evolutionary learning ability of the apostle itself must be taken into consideration. Therefore, if you cannot establish an advantage in the early stage, then it is possible to drive the No. [-] machine Will lose.

"But Shinji has never fought seriously." Fuyutsuki Komasu said.

"The danger is still very high. In order to prevent the promised day from actually coming, we need something that can stop him." Ikari Yuantang clasped his hands together and put them on his chin.

"Are you saying that the moon side is ready?" Fuyutsuki Xingzhi raised his eyebrows slightly.

"That's Golgotha ​​Base. It's not under my control, and I'm not even allowed to get close. But SEELE doesn't want to see the agreed date, so they will definitely be prepared." Ikari Yuantang knows them well.

At this time, a purple body stood on the glorious surface of the moon.

From the appearance point of view, it is very similar to Unit [-], and no one would object to even being said to be its sister unit.And on the head of this purple machine, the silver-haired boy opened his palms toward the earth.

"call."

With the familiar sound of exhaust, the combat uniform clung to the boy's skin.The silver-haired boy closed his eyes in comfort and let the radiance shine on his body, as if he was a god bathed in radiance.

"I'm going to see you soon, let's make time pass faster."

He is the only one who holds a completely different idea from others in his heart. He doesn't care about the arrival of the appointed day, nor does he care about the victory of mankind or the apostles. All he really hopes for is——

Shinji Ikari, this young man, can he be happy?

[-]: Unit [-] & Power Angel

When the powerful angel threw away the broken garbage and threw the body of Unit [-] on the ground, at the same time, the underground mechanism in the other corner of the underground world slowly started to operate, opening the heavy iron gate.

A few seconds later, as the gate opened, the red Unit [-] quickly popped out of the ground.Because she was inside Hakone, Unit [-] appeared half a minute faster than Katsuragi Misato expected.

But what greeted her was still the crimson spring-shaped rectangular force field.

That's too late!Just when everyone was thinking this, Makiha, who had just driven Unit [-] to the ground, pulled out the giant explosion-proof shield hidden behind his back in advance and blocked the fatal blow for Unit [-].And his entire body was impacted by this powerful force and flew backwards. His feet rubbed against the ground and the dazzling firelight flashed out.

But soon, the next attacks from the force apostles followed.It was the deadly white strap-like arm, but Unit [-] jumped out quickly to the left, with no intention of fighting with it, and a strong purple light burst out from its pale green eyes.

From this action alone, we can see that the No. [-] unit driven by Makiha and the No. [-] unit driven by Asuka are two completely different types. The No. [-] unit driven by Makiha is as agile as a cheetah flipping in the air. He maintained an excellent balance in the air and was in a state to attack again the moment he landed.

Asuka's Unit [-] is more violent and faster.She can also make seemingly exquisite movements, but those movements are all in a routine.She often said that Rei Ayanami was a top student, but in fact, the real top student was herself. She had always received perfect scores in simulation training, but once the apostle went beyond her expectations, Asuka would reveal her ability to slip up at critical moments. The essence comes out.

"That's it! Very good Makiha! No need to fight with him, just hold him back!" Katsuragi Misato's excited voice sounded in the cockpit of the No. [-] unit.

"Oops, I faced such a violent apostle right from the beginning. To be honest, I don't know if I can withstand it." Makiha smiled bitterly with some distress.

She had just experienced the attack speed and field strength of the Power Angel. In terms of reaction speed, Makiha was an outstanding player among the qualified players.But she couldn't even see clearly the movements of the force angels, let alone the fight.In the first two attacks, she relied more on her senses to avoid them.

Then, she saw the Angel of Power floating in mid-air and flying swiftly towards her.

It was so strange that even though it was a life-and-death moment, Mashiba couldn't help but be amazed by the scene in front of him.Of course, while she was marveling, she did not forget to pull out the bolt guns on both sides of the armor and shoot at the flying apostles.

I saw the bullets shooting on the crimson absolute domain force field, hitting countless brilliant sparks.However, the exploding bullet is still very far away from the force apostle, because the force apostle's force field is very strange. There are dozens of layers in the field like heavy rocks, which can stretch, extend, expand or reduce the contact area at will.

The force field that was originally only used for close attack or defense was transformed into a huge long stick spanning hundreds of meters, which hit the surface of the No. [-] machine heavily.

Even the pilot, Makiha, didn't react.

One moment he saw the force angel unfolding its domain, and the next moment her whole body seemed to be crushed by a heavy object, and there seemed to be no time interval at all.
