Shinji Ikari returns from Warhammer

"Received, the whole ship, combat configuration No. [-]." Ritsuko Akagi sat back in front of her seat and started working.

"Prepare for air, sea and underwater combat operations." The middle-aged Hyuga Makoto with short hair reported.

"Suspend the supply operation and transfer the crew!" Shigeru Aoba, who had a mustache, picked up his mobile phone and passed new orders to the frigate of the Ship of Hope.

"Maintain main engine-related operations and check the switches of each power input line." Kitakami Midori also carried out command work, "Please all aircraft leave the airspace immediately and quickly go to the second assembly point. Discard unloaded supplies and give priority to crew members. "

"Each turret is ready to fire, the Three Sages system is connected, and the remote control and linkage system are activated. Please prepare for encounters."

Like dragonflies after the rain, aircraft took off from the deck, carrying supplies and crew members to leave the upcoming battlefield.The gray turrets on the hull are fully ready to lock onto approaching targets in the distance.

If Shinji Ikari looked at all this from a God's perspective, he would raise a question - if he were to fight against the apostles, shouldn't the most important thing be to activate the Evangelion EVA? They are the real weapons of final battle.

However, this place was no longer NERV but WILLE, and the large group of apostles in front of him were not the apostles he was familiar with.Compared with the real apostles, the artificial apostles in front of us can at best be regarded as cheap and low-end products.But this exaggerated amount still brings fatal danger.

The first stage was completed in an orderly manner. Misato Katsuragi looked at the green signs on the screen that represented the completion of the work, and she did not feel any joy.He calmly announced the order for the next stage.

"Continue to input energy into the main engine transmission system and open all valves before No. 90."

"Link all anti-air systems and give priority to protecting Unit [-]!"

At this time, Shinji Ikari had followed Makiha to the conference room. The window of this room could just see the turbulent sea outside. With the eyesight of Shinji Ikari's apostle, he happened to be able to witness the blood-colored light pillar approaching in the distance.

Just in his direction, he saw seven blood-colored light pillars approaching, and there was an apostle in each light pillar.

At this time, next to Shinji Ikari, Makiha put one leg on the large walnut table in the conference room and was doing stretching exercises.

"Ah, it's such a passionate feeling that I haven't seen in a long time. But it's still very exciting to configure the battle configuration on the bridge!"

"Is this kind of thing very common for you?" Shinji Ikari asked.

"Of course it's impossible. The last time was last year. This is the first time for such a large-scale encirclement and suppression." Makiha tilted his head and looked at Shinji Ikari standing in front of the window with an ambiguous smile, "Don't worry about those things for now. , now that there are only two of us left, let’s do some private things between us! Do you want to take a shower first, eat first, or ask questions first? "

"Let's have afternoon tea first, a walnut brownie cake, toast with foie gras, and the Irish coffee with whiskey. Let's talk about the problem slowly." Shinji Ikari said.

"You are really a young master, but it's a pity that we don't have anything here," Makiha shrugged, "The supplies are very tight. If you need it, I will feed you below."

"Next time, tell me about the current situation first." Shinji Ikari ignored this tempting proposal.

Although he also wanted to eat noodles, it took time to blanch, pour, and boil the noodles, so it was still an accident that he came here this time.It only takes about three hours, and then you will be forced to float into the negative universe and return to your original world.

"After the third impact, the whole world has turned red. The situation is of course terrible for humans and NERV. The entire human society is on the verge of death. We also broke with NERV, and you also saw Katsuragi Misato led the cadres who were once affiliated with NERV to establish the current WILLE, protecting the remaining humans and fighting against NERV. Misato-chan is even more busy. I was worried that she would die suddenly..." Makiha was lying in the conference room. On the big case, looking at the plain white ceiling, "But it may not be an opportunity for me personally. If Misato-chan really dies, then Asuka and I will be free, right? Then I can go back to my hometown and like me." My beautiful senior sister is getting married!”

Makiha took out an egg tart from where he didn't know and ate it in small bites, with an erratic look on his face, "I think I still have a little bit of expectations...but after thinking about it for so many years, the beautiful senior sister I like may have gotten married, maybe she She already has a husband with facial paralysis and a son who smells very good. It’s a little sad to think about it, but it’s okay for me to marry her son..."

Shinji Ikari felt that Misato Katsuragi left Makiha to answer her questions entirely on purpose. She talked too much nonsense and seemed to want to cover up the real secret with nonsense.

Shinji Ikari pieced together a rough outline based on the information he obtained when he arrived last time.

That is, 14 years ago, he faced off against a certain apostle, triggering the so-called third impact, and the world became what it is today.Then the only remaining human forces were divided into WILLE and NERV to attack each other.However, judging from the current situation, it is mainly NERV's one-way attack on WILLE.

"What about this one?" Shinji Ikari pointed to the red light pillar outside the window, which was already very close.

The already majestic object when viewed from a distance, now looks like a divine needle standing on the sea when viewed from a close distance. The waves are rolling, and the red light pillar dyes the rolling sea water and the sky into fiery red.

But there were a plurality of such towering light pillars, surrounding the entire fleet in a circle, approaching rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.Looking far into the distance, one can vaguely see the outline of a familiar white mask inside each red light pillar.

14: Fireworks [-] years late

"The artificial apostle is one of the series of finished products belonging to the Marduk Project." Makiha lay in front of the window and looked at the countless red light pillars approaching, "But even if you don't understand the Marduk Project, you just Just understand them as their mass-produced apostles. They are far different from real apostles, but this number combined is more difficult to deal with than many powerful apostles. Is there really no need to dispatch EVA?" Makiha was a little worried. .

"I know that since it is Project Marduk, there must be mass-produced EVA." Shinji Ikari said.

Makiha looked at the young man standing in front of the window with some surprise. He actually knew about the Marduk plan, but he continued, "It is true, EVAMark.44A aviation type, EVAMark.4444C land combat type, EVAMark.44B auxiliary type Type is the Nemesis series that is closer to the EVA side than the Apostle, and the 4C in front of me is Nelixis, which is more of an Apostle."

The name comes from NEMESIS, the sublimated Greek goddess of revenge. She will punish the arrogant people in front of the gods.And this is SEELE symbolizing orthodoxy, the divine punishment imposed on the rebellious WILLE.

Putting aside those proper nouns, Shinji Ikari probably understands.It was the explosion of science and technology in this parallel world, and the Marduk plan achieved perfect results.Not only do they mass-produce the Nelish series of aircraft with apostolic properties (or artificial apostles with EVA properties), but they are also divided into aviation-based land combat types and auxiliary types based on their different properties.

At this time, the beam of light increased again, not because the number of apostles increased.Instead, when the group of apostles surrounding the fleet approached to a certain distance, they linked new light beams with the nearest apostles, forming a red-gold network structure, which would completely tie the fleet into it.

"The 4C in front of you is obviously a specialized type for naval warfare. Although it is called an artificial apostle, it can also be controlled by others like EVA." Shinji Ikari stared at the apostles in front of him quietly, "Tell me about the 14th year. It’s close to the third impact, what exactly happened.”

"This is your real purpose." Makiha turned her head and looked at him deeply.But this is also because Shinji Ikari has no hiding at all and can easily be seen through.

"Since Misato-chan has authorized you with this authority, it is her responsibility if any problems arise. Rather than words, let me just play back the video of that year for you." Makiha jumped to the front of the conference room, and then called Snapped his fingers.

"MAGI, project MELCHIOR-BM03001 video." Makiha gave the order.

At this time, the outside world is facing the threat of the apostles, but in this conference room, Shinha and Shinji Ikari are reminiscing about the past without being disturbed at all.

MAGI is the Three Sages supercomputer system you should know, but in addition to the original MAGI at NERV headquarters, there are five replicas.They are located in Matsushiro, Japan, Berlin, Hamburg, Germany, Massachusetts, USA, and Cerris Beijing. "Makiha said to Shinji Ikari in a boastful tone, "But today's Hakone city has disappeared, and this ship of hope is loaded with the original system backup of Matsushiro, Japan. It is still very kind to you. "

As the order was issued, bright blue laser beams were cast from the ceiling, intertwining into a fine grid of beams.As this beam network slowly swept across the entire conference room, the holographic 3D projection gradually took shape.

The scene suddenly changed, but Shinji Ikari felt that he was floating in mid-air. Looking at the thick smoke and the devastated battlefield, the sky was torn with huge wounds, the head of Unit Zero, the severely damaged Unit [-], everywhere The smoky underground world and the apostles running rampant in the center have dragged the world into an irreversible abyss.

This is the underground space of Hakone here, and Shinji Ikari will never admit it wrong, because he just fought against the Apostles here not long ago.He could even see the head of Unit Zero that fell in front of him.But when he tried to reach out, the Unit Zero, which only had its head left, was penetrated by him without any obstacles, leaving only light blue interference ripples.

"This is the scene reconstructed based on the three-dimensional monitoring in MAGI. The time at that time was 10:05 in the morning." Makiha explained what happened to Shinji Ikari with the attitude of a professional tour guide, "Considering that you had gone berserk at that time, Maybe you don’t remember it clearly, so we’ll reconstruct the scene for you.”

And what comes next is the crux of the story.

I saw the rampaging Unit-[-] breaking through the barrier and tearing apart the realm of the Angel of Power with an attitude that even shocked Shinji Ikari, tearing apart the Angel of Power's already completed body with a rather violent attitude, and pulling out his core from it. .

At this time, there is no need for the guidance of Makiha and MAGI. The scene reappears in front of Shinji Ikari's eyes, and he is himself.

After the Devouring Power Apostle completed the work, the body of Unit [-] was undergoing drastic changes, and the original restraint was torn apart.The bloody air flow like wings spread out behind him.As if someone had thrown a holy fire into the abyss, His eyes lit up, as red as a god or a demon.

But what this newly born son of God looks at is not the world, but the blue figure hidden in the body of the devoured force apostle.

"I care about the world, and I don't care about myself, but I can't allow Ayanami's death..."

The boy's pain and anger overlapped with that of Shinji Ikari at this moment, "Give Ayanami Rei back to me!"

The moment Unit No. [-] stretched out his hand, Shinji Ikari felt as if he had indeed caught her arm.The huge Ayanami Rei burst out of the remains of the power apostle, and the blood rain in the sky turned into the shape of protective wings, surrounding the two.

All the memories and pictures flooded into my mind at this moment.

"It turns out that it can be completely completed by swallowing the core of the apostle in the simplest way. The most important thing is the sacrifice, as well as Ayanami Rei and herself."

Shinji Ikari smiled, not because he was happy because he knew the answer, but because he was happy that he could respond correctly.

At this moment, everywhere he looked was white water, and the apostles were already hidden behind the huge waves.The crimson beam of light had already broken through to the first guard line of the fleet, and rolled up the tornado on the sea with the violent gesture of a dragon sucking water. It swept the [-]-ton cruiser into their attack range like a paper boat, and easily tore it into countless pieces. fragments.

The fleet's defense circle is completely unobstructed in front of the naval battle-specific 4C artificial apostle.

——Ship of Hope, in the central command room.

"Here we come, confirming the target Pillar of Light, but we can't capture the enemy's core area! I'm afraid they are lurking under the camouflage net!" Aoba Shigeru reported loudly. 14 years later, he still hasn't gotten rid of this habit.

"It's not good. If this continues, we will encounter a saturation attack." Ritsuko Akagi looked sad, "Captain Katsuragi, I propose that the fleet be dispersed immediately. Considering the limited number of crew members and insufficient training, coupled with the lack of equipment on this ship, It’s not done yet. And most importantly we can’t capture the heart of the target.”

Artificial apostles are also apostles. If they cannot attack the core of the apostles, then any attack will be like scratching an itch.In this case, the ship has absolutely no chance of winning.

"We should continue to retreat as before. We have no choice now, Captain!" Ritsuko Akagi suggested in a stern voice.

"It is estimated that there are still 600 seconds before contact." Aoba Shigeru continued to broadcast from the side.

Ritsuko Akagi knew what Misato Katsuragi was thinking during this battle, and also knew the emotions that arose due to the return of Shinji Ikari.She didn't want to look down on Shinji Ikari. Misato Katsuragi wanted Shinji Ikari to understand that even without him and his Unit-14, in the past [-] years, she could still lead the remnants of WILLE to fight against the incoming apostles and NERV.

But now, there is no choice.

"Because of this, we should change the status quo and make breakthroughs from past failures." Misato Katsuragi raised her head slightly and stared at the fleet that had fallen into the encirclement on the screen. "Vice-captain, let's take off."

"Take off? Wait, are you planning to start the main engine?" Ritsuko Akagi's eyes widened.

"All ships, prepare for takeoff!" Misato Katsuragi ordered, "Fire the main engines."

This time the order was not executed immediately like before, but the whole audience let out a cry of surprise, because everyone who could sit here knew the risks of starting the main engine.

"This ship is not ready for actual combat yet, you have to think clearly, Captain Katsuragi!" Ritsuko Akagi said.

"I agree!" Hinata Cheng replied immediately, "It is too dangerous to directly enter the actual combat stage before testing!"

"I lack experience in gravity control, and I have no confidence in this!" The African-American man with braids standing in front of the console also questioned.

"Don't fight a battle you can't win. I don't want to die yet." The red-haired girl lay on the office chair and looked up at the ceiling.

Kitakami Midori bit his nails, "Besides, that person, the third boy, is still on the ship, if he wants to destroy it. Considering that he can summon the No. 44 unit that is in low-Earth orbit and is sealed by the EVA Mark.[-]A Aviation Apostle. Look, if he even has the slightest thought, we're all doomed!"

But when it came to Shinji Ikari, Ritsuko Akagi's eyes flickered slightly, and she suddenly looked up at Misato Katsuragi who was standing high up.

"I know there will be risks, and I will use this ship as bait to attract the target." Misato Katsuragi lowered her hat, "It's time to understand the god-killing power of this ship."

"But the ignition system is not perfect yet." Ritsuko Akagi said, "Could it be that you plan to use EVA?"

Mari Makiha is still accompanying Shinji Ikari. Although Asuka has been awakened from fainting, it will still take some time to drive EVA to face the enemy.

"The entire ship, first combat configuration." Misato Katsuragi ordered.

"Switch to the battle command system, the main personnel go to the battle bridge." Ritsuko Akagi obeyed the order first and returned to his seat.

"Roger, checking the full vent system." The African-American man with braids responded.

"Concentrate the main control system of this ship to the anchor bolt." Aoba Shigeru responded.

"Received, ready to dive. The fuel nozzle has been confirmed and the countdown has begun." The burly man with a short hair responded.

"All personnel, to their respective positions. I repeat, to their respective positions."

"Ignition power is being injected into the main engine system, and it is still 5% away from the critical value."

"If they launch a saturation attack, this ship will be hit and it will be over!" Makiha lay in front of the window and looked at the apostles nearby, "Why hasn't Misato-chan asked me to pilot the EVA? Do you want to PUA me?”

But the sudden push on his back caused Makiha's figure to shift and quickly fall to Shinji Ikari's side.Only then did she realize that she was not under attack, but that the ship had taken off.

He is escaping from the shackles of gravity, breaking through the barrier sea surface of the honeycomb structure, and soaring towards the sky with his head down and his butt up.But at this time, four black strip-like objects were shot out from the red light pillar and wrapped around the main wings of the Hope Ship.

But Makiha didn't care at all about the situation the fleet was currently facing. She stared quietly at the young man in front of her.

After learning the truth about that year, he didn't speak, and still looked at the window silently, with a very simple joy in his expression.It seems that the so-called decay of all things is nothing to him, but being able to hold Ayanami Rei's hand is extremely important to him.

At this moment, it seemed as if the boy with the good smell was standing in front of him.For a moment, she couldn't tell whether the person in front of her was the majestic warrior like a tyrant or the weak young man.

At this time, a loud noise rose from the sea below, because when the apostles shot out black ribbon-like objects to entangle the ship of hope, they also entangled themselves.

Millions of water droplets danced on the sea surface. The sea surface that was originally blocked by the barrier suddenly turned into angry water. Deep whirlpools appeared on the sea surface. This was caused by the high-speed swimming of a giant creature. As the ship of hope soaring in the sky was dragged hard regardless of the damage to its main wing, the giant underwater creature also revealed its figure at this moment.

It was a creation with a squid-like structure, with four dark strips extending from the bottom of the simple oval head, which were shrinking crazily and approaching the ship of hope.But there are still three such terrifying creatures.

The M61 aircraft cannon and anti-tank missiles on the Ship of Hope continued to explode with dazzling flames on it. Blue blood oozed from the dark body, and part of the back was torn open by the explosion, revealing the pale white spine. .But it still climbed up without slowing down, because the order it received was to destroy the ship in front of it at all costs, even if the cost was its own death.

But at this angle, the conference room was the first place their attacks touched. Makiha didn't know if it was a coincidence or intentional, but she saw the demon-like creature in front of her with its teeth and claws approaching quickly, and couldn't help but grab Ikari. Shinji's arms wanted to escape.

"I can't stand it."

Shinji Ikari gently patted Makiha's arm. Miraculously, she actually became quiet when she looked at the other person's side face.Watching Shinji Ikari put his hands back into his trouser pockets calmly, and then looked forward.

The window glass of an entire wall shattered in unison, and ferocious black ribbon-like substances burst out on the tracks drawn on the wall. Then, the wall exploded, and the smelly sea breeze blew in.

The one that shattered the glass, the one that tore apart the defenses, the one that sent fire in the air, the one that came suddenly - it was all the same thing.The four apostles with their teeth and claws snarling, looking at this ferocious monster at close range now is like facing the devil in hell.

So close, he just slightly raised the corners of his lips.

Behind him, even more surging waves of thunder shook the night sky, and behind the apostle who bared his teeth and claws, an even more exaggerated ultimate terror revealed a purple figure.

——Awakening Unit [-].

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and only Shinji Ikari and Unit-[-], who seemed to have fallen into a group of evil ghosts, were left in front of him.Then when time passed again, only the remains of severed limbs were left in the sky, and a torrential rain of blood poured down.

It’s not that time has stood still! ?It's just that the speed of Unit-[-] was so fast that Makiha's attack could not be caught with her naked eyes. The moment she came to her senses, the battle was over.

Shinji Ikari stood in the rain of blood, with four golden cross lights rising behind him, like summer fireworks that were 14 years late.

[-]: The Riddler gets out of the new world!

Makoto has never seen such brutal and ruthless killing, as if the angel of judgment points the spear of fate between your eyebrows, pronouncing your death.

In the hands of Shinji Ikari, the so-called apostles are just slightly bigger scum.Pity, compassion, and other similar emotions did not exist in this man. The creatures that stood in front of him were already favored by death.This is the authority given to him by the Emperor. Killing is not a sin at all to him, he is violence itself.

I can't believe that the once soft little puppy has now turned into such a behemoth.Makiha suddenly realized a very crucial point, or in his eyes, there is no difference between NERV and WILLE, they may both be betrayals of mankind.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, you really will cause me some unnecessary trouble."

Shinji Ikari stood there silently, watching the red sea water swallow the severed limbs and arms of the artificial apostles again.He turned his face sideways and looked in the direction of the battle bridge. His pupils were a red-purple color similar to that of Unit [-].

All personnel on the battle bridge were silent at this time, and they also witnessed the killing.The apostles, who were deadly to the fleet, were like wild beasts waiting to be slaughtered in front of Shinji Ikari.

"It's amazing!" The researcher with Zhuangma's hair style sighed softly.
