Shinji Ikari returns from Warhammer

With the red light appearing one after another, Unit [-] once again broke through to an unprecedented level, and entered the cross orbit of the target apostle with great speed.

At this time, in the cockpit, a prompt suddenly popped up in front of Shinji Ikari's eyes.

[Confirmed the target object, No. 15 Apostle Bird Angel Yalar; the contact location has not changed. I wish you good luck in martial arts. 】

"Received." Shinji Ikari replied.

"Now cut off all remote navigation and hand over subsequent control to this aircraft. The rest is up to you," Ritsuko Akagi's voice sounded in the cockpit, "Good luck."

When you reach this position, you can vaguely see the outline of the bird angel.

Even with the starry sky as the background, the bird angel is quite eye-catching.A behemoth with its whole body glowing and a wingspan of more than four kilometers, the 80-meter-tall Unit [-] was as small as dust in front of him.

It stands to reason that he would not observe something as small as Unit [-], but apostles are also living beings.Or it may come from the vigilance of the creature, allowing it to notice that the deadly thing is really approaching.

"Reflected waves are coming from the target space, causing interference!" Hitomi Iga, who was responsible for observing the target at the ground command center, warned.

"This is the apostle's attack method. Don't worry. After all, the opponent he is fighting is Unit [-]." Ritsuko Akagi said calmly, standing in the back row holding an ice cream.

Five balls of orange-red light lit up in all directions of the Bird Angel, and the bright scene was clearly visible even from the ground.

"There is an explosion attack on the target, there are still 3, 2, 1--!"

The attack came as expected, but the same majestic colorful absolute force field appeared in space in the form of a hexagonal shape.The spread of its area is a full [-] square meters. Facing the brand-new apostle, Shinji Ikari also used his due strength.

The attack of the Bird Angel meets that boundary, just like gasoline burning on the water.The dark red energy turbulence flows like a snake on the colorful border.

But no matter what, it can't shake the diamond-shaped force field in front of him.

"Okay!" Ibuki Maya clenched her fists.

"The absolute field of color," Ritsuko Akagi looked at the hexadecagonal absolute field on the screen with a slightly solemn expression, "isn't it a warm white color anymore, Shinji Ikari."

The control center on the ground cheered, and Shinji Ikari's eyebrows trembled slightly in the cockpit.

"Interesting," he said softly.

Although no attacks other than explosions were observed, there was a strange feeling of being caressed by the breeze above the absolute field he expanded. However, neither the picture observed with the naked eye nor the system in his cockpit popped up. Any tips.

It was as if there was some kind of strange attack that could not be observed by the naked eye, nor was it presented in a physical form, but it did attack on one's own territory.

It may not even be an attack, it may be some kind of very obscure detection ability, or it may be just an interference skill like Sky Angel's electromagnetic pulse... For the unfamiliar Bird Angel, even Shinji Ikari cannot fully understand his ability. What exactly is it.

"Reflected waves are coming from the target space area, and the second wave of attacks is coming!" Hitomi Iga, who was responsible for observing the target at the command center on the ground, warned.

"Trouble, I didn't expect this Bird Angel to be so sensitive." Ritsuko Akagi said, "This way Unit-[-] will never be able to reach Him."

"Although his attack has no effect on Unit [-], it will interfere with the forward trajectory of Unit [-], and it... seems to be retreating consciously!"

"What the hell, are all the apostles these days such thieves?" Aoba Shigeru pushed up his glasses, in disbelief.

There is nowhere to focus on space. Even though Machine No. [-] is invincible, it cannot launch an attack. No matter how powerful it is, it still sighs with hatred.

But at this moment, a scorching blue light rose from the earth to the sky, passing over the stars above like a summer fire, and directly hit the bird angel in the distance.

It was Asuka piloting Unit [-]. The positron cannon in her hand was still emitting a faint blue light.The bird apostle focused all his attention on the No. [-] machine that brought him a sense of fatal danger, completely ignoring the No. [-] machine in the distance that had not even entered the battlefield. This also created an excellent situation for the No. [-] machine. Offensive opportunity.

But this shot also caused her forward trajectory to deviate, but don't worry, because the No. [-] unit has cut off all long-range navigation and is completely under the control of Shinji Ikari. All the staff at the ground control center are assisting the attacking No. [-] unit. machine service.

"Prepare to enter the final combat orbit, turn the nose of the aircraft and start to turn around!"

"The forward angle is confirmed, and it is within the error correction range! Calculate the relative speed again, and confirm the coordinate height again, everything is normal!"

"The track has finally been corrected."

"Received, POD2 moved to the cross orbit! There are still 180 seconds before target contact!"

After firing a shot, Asuka clenched the joystick, ready to expand the absolute field at any time to deal with the possible counterattack of the Bird Apostle.

But no, because even if Bird Angel wanted to punish this fool who dared to harass him, most of his energy was still in Unit [-].Five orange-red rays of light were seen taking shape again, and the second wave of attacks interrupted by the No. [-] machine's shot gathered strength again.

However, the same move is ineffective against Unit [-].

--boom! ! !

A colorful field formed under the feet of Unit [-], just like a high jump. The knee joints of the unit exploded with extraordinary force, causing the figure of Unit [-] to disappear directly from everyone's field of vision, leaving only the dimness. long purple line.Unit [-], which could easily surpass the speed of sound on the ground, is now in space, but its momentum is like purple lightning across the starry sky.

The attack of the Bird Apostle was overwhelming towards the flying machine. Everything around was shaken by the meteor shower-like attack. They were like blue light feathers flying in. The huge power poured into the Bird Apostle twisted them into pieces. spiral.They drilled towards Unit [-] at the same time. Unit [-] had no intention of evading. Its domain was an indestructible shield, leading her to break through all obstacles.

Although she was working hard to drive into the battlefield, Asuka couldn't help but look back in the direction of Unit [-], watching it attack the Bird Apostles dozens of times his size in the energy frenzy.

The speeding scene made her dizzy and also made her feel relaxed and happy.

Compared to the observers on the ground, Asuka, who was also the pilot, was synchronized with Unit [-], so her neural reaction speed could barely capture their figures.

It's lightning, it's blue light, it's the reappearance of myth.

The attack of the Bird Angel and the figure of Unit [-] flew across the vast universe, making a deafening roar every time they collided.They chase each other and even suddenly change directions and move freely regardless of the rules.

But to be precise, Unit [-] was chasing Bird Angel unilaterally.

Even an apostle is aware of the danger posed by Unit [-], or perhaps it is precisely because he is an apostle, the ultimate life form, that he is more able to sense the fatal murderous intention.

Therefore, Bird Angel Yalar had no intention of engaging in a close combat with Unit [-], and quickly evacuated in the side direction the moment Unit [-] approached him.

"Do you think you can save your life this way? Stop wishing." Shinji Ikari sneered in the cockpit.

Light gathered in the palm of the speeding Unit [-], and the incomparable light gun that once existed in another universe appeared again in this world.

"Is this the nail of light of the Water Apostle?" Ibuki Maya was shocked.

Hinata Cheng clicked his tongue, "Is this a nail? Can this still be considered a nail?"

This chase battle in the sky was also witnessed by countless people.

Not only countries or organizations, but also some companies, units, and individuals are watching this battle with civilian astronomical telescopes.Speeding through space at the speed of the second universe, light gathered in the palm of Unit-[-]'s hand, and an unprecedentedly huge light gun took shape.

Standing at the end of the light, calling out to the victor - it symbolizes the punishment of the gods.

The light was so dazzling that it took away the surrounding light, leaving only this gleam of light in the entire world.

The moment it was thrown down, it turned into a rain of light that filled the sky.

The white-golden light saturates the dim starry sky, like a meteor shower all over the sky, and each raindrop is a spear of light, carrying an extremely fierce momentum and penetrating the wings of the bird and angel. At this moment, the whole world seems to hear that sound. A cry from the apostles.

The light spear of Unit [-] is not fatal to the huge size of Bird Angel, but the pain of being penetrated by thousands of scorching light nails is better than the torture of limping in the world.

The nail of light reacted with the bird angel's body and exploded with his flesh. Translucent blue shock waves spread out, as if blood was splattered everywhere.

Or maybe His blood is blue.

Bird Angel collapsed on the meteorite belt, but its huge figure still stretched for several kilometers.Unit No. [-] landed from a high altitude, riding on meteorites and flying towards Bird Angel's torso at high speeds. At this moment, He carried the majesty of a god and the terror of a devil, and a bloody and cruel aura of terror enveloped Bird Angel's body.

--boom! ! !

There was another violent explosion, but this time it was Bird Angel and Unit-[-] that were blown away by the impact.

Just now, the Bird Angel instinctively expanded its domain, and its domain collided with that of Unit [-], just like pouring freshly washed vegetables into a hot oil pan and exploding.

"Field?" Shinji Ikari in the cockpit sneered sarcastically.

The fields of his hands quickly condensed and gathered together, and Unit-[-] itself rushed towards the apostle in front of him without hesitation.In terms of domain warfare, he arrogantly crushes the entire world.

This time it’s a collision between realms.

The bird angel's feather flames burned again, and the territory also continued to expand.A domain with a diameter of more than five kilometers and a domain with a diameter of only five meters collided with each other. A layer of air could be clearly seen on the edge of the contact between the two domains. Tens of millions of volts of white-purple static electricity and tens of thousands of degrees of wildly dancing energy turbulence. Swimming above.The bright places are like exploding stars, and the dark places are like cracks in the world.

Countless diamond-shaped fragments disintegrated, and at the center of Bird Angel's magnificent domain, Machine No. [-] easily blasted a gap here like a pile driver, smashing all the defensive layers and landing on the surface of Bird Angel's body.

Bird Apostle's domain is not weak, but he doesn't know how to use it.If it can be compressed to the same extent as Unit [-], or if it can persist for a few more seconds, the strength of the domain thing mainly depends on the density of the soul contained inside... and the will of the user.

Unit No. [-] fell from the sky, and its feet were like sharp claws inserted into the bird apostle's body. He stood firmly, but at the moment of physical contact, the light gun that had been gathered in the palm of his hand suddenly collapsed.

It wasn't that the Bird Apostle's attack was otherworldly, but that a completely unknown attack surged into the interior of Unit [-].

Finally, at this moment, the Bird Angel finally revealed His true authority.

For a moment, Shinji Ikari in the cockpit felt a tingling sensation as electricity passed through his body.The moment when he was closest to killing the Bird Apostle was also the Bird Apostle's last desperate counterattack.Huge pain came from behind, the pain was so severe that it was like drilling through a person, cutting open his head, and pouring hot oil into his brain to boil.

Shinji Ikari couldn't feel his own existence at all. When the illusory light shone above his head, a kaleidoscope-like picture came overwhelmingly.

Fear, memory, knights, time travel, return, battlefield...violent heart, code, anger, arrogance, insult, torture, joy of killing.

Shinji Ikari's face was ferocious and twisted, but he still held the joystick.In this torture-like torture, his will did not change at all.

"I see, your real ability turns out to be... mental attack." Shinji Ikari licked his lips.

[-]: Complement, spirit, sever immortality

Shinji Ikari was not furious. On the contrary, the pain also brought joy. Bird Angel's mental attack was closer to pollution, and the kaleidoscope-like memory fragments also reminded him of the past after a long absence.

Bird Angel originally wanted to use absolutely powerful mental pollution to completely wash away the spirit of the guy lying on the side of his body, but it did not last long, because the more ferocious will eroded all the mental pollution that had eroded into Shinji Ikari's mind. disperse.

Then Shinji Ikari unfolded the Absolute Domain again, wrapped his whole body, condensed the spear of light with his hands and inserted it into the bird angel's body.

"The apostle's health bar is really thick." Hinata Cheng said.

The serious atmosphere in the control room was suddenly broken, and everyone's eyes focused on Hinata Cheng.

"Health bar?" Ritsuko Akagi frowned, "What blood bar?"

"It's the description of the health of some monsters in the game. It means that you can't see the side of the health of some specific bosses." Hinata Cheng stood up immediately and said.

Because it was a space operation and involved the use of some specific equipment, the command of this operation was ceded to Misato Katsuragi to Ritsuko Akagi.Hinata Cheng didn't want to get into trouble with this minister who had a cold face and a cold heart.

"Apostle, the health bar is indeed very thick." Ritsuko Akagi said, "Now the apostle is getting bigger and bigger, and the recovery speed is too exaggerated. Fortunately, it is our Unit [-] that is fighting against him. If it is our NERV's weapon If so, I suspect that even if the attack can break His absolute domain, it may not be as fast as His recovery."

"The problem with Unit [-] now is how to defeat his apostle core. With such a huge size as the Bird Apostle, is the apostle core still the same size as the regular one?" Ibuki Maya asked, turning to look at Akagi Ritsuko, "If that's the case, find It’s quite troublesome to get up.”

Ritsuko Akagi pushed up her glasses, "Maybe." She thought to herself, but based on her guess, what Shinji Ikari wanted might not be to destroy the core of the Bird Apostle, but to completely surrender, capture, and then... take it. Bar.

If it is just for supplementation, is it feasible to use artificial apostles or mass-produced EVA cores?

Of course it is possible, but this only has the function of unlimited energy, and the door to God is completely closed to Unit [-].

Doing so will only pollute the purity of Unit-[-] and Shinji Ikari. The originally noble and sacred body will be mixed with those rough and poorly made things, and the strength will only decrease instead of increasing.

Just like the line that Ikari Yuantang lamented countless times - after tasting the fruit of wisdom, human beings have only two ways to go.Be destroyed by the apostles who took the fruit of life; or destroy the apostles, take away their seat before God, surrender to our wisdom, and become the sons of eternal life.

These apostles, who were written on the Dead Sea Script, are the true Sons of God who have the status. Only the sum total of all human beings can be equal to them.Whether it is as a sacrifice to open the door of Gaff, or as a gift thrown into the bonfire before awakening, it can only be completed by their death.

"Through me into the city of endless pain, through me into the pit of everlasting misery; through me into the eternal people, just to promote my sublime Creator; I am the crystallization of divine power and divine love, before me there was no eternal Creation; I will live forever with heaven and earth, and anyone who enters will lose all hope." Ritsuko Akagi said softly.

These are just her guesses. Maybe Shinji Ikari really just felt that Bird Angel was too big and couldn't touch the core for a long time.

At this time, the bruised Bird Angel, whose body was tortured in pain, also wailed, and what he did was to really close his wings like a bird, and take Unit [-] with him in a gentle embrace-like gesture. Falling into another part of the boundless universe.

"Does he want to perish together with Unit [-]?" Hyuga Makoto looked at the direction in which the Bird Angel was moving, which was the sun. "But even if they are moving very fast in space, at this distance, even if I go back and take a nap now." , and then... brush your teeth, wash your face, and play a civilized game, he won't be able to fly."

"No, he just wants to leave the meteorite belt. The goal is..." Maya Ibuki shouted.

The realm of the honorable and the terrible is opening up.This is the domain of Bird Angel. Although Shinji Ikari mocked him for his wide and huge body, which would be shattered by a single touch in the collision of domains, the impact of this wide area on the field of vision is still quite astonishing.The meteorites covered by the domain turned into brilliant blue light, and after shattering, they turned into rain of light.The entire corner of the meteorite belt was completely gone, like a blue sun blooming in the sky.

The bird apostle's wings were fully unfolded, and what shot out from the blue sun was - light like sunlight.

Not hot, not even deadly, with the warmth of the morning sun.

But the target of the shot was not the No. [-] unit that was fighting with him, but the No. [-] unit that entered the intersecting track and quickly approached.The reason why he cleared the meteorite belt and made a gesture of wanting to die together was because he didn't want these meteorites to block the unfolding of his abilities.

"Oops! This is the enemy's directional weapon!" Hinata Cheng said.

"No, the thermal energy reaction cannot be detected. It is the thermal energy wave in the visible wave, which is similar to an AT force field. The specific details are unknown." Aoba Shigeru said.

"Oops, POD2's psychological map is confused! Mental pollution is beginning to appear!" Ibuki Maya shouted.

"It turns out that Bird Angel's real ability is spiritual attack? Why didn't POD1 respond?"

"How many times have I said that what happened to the third qualified person can only be regarded as an exception." Ritsuko Akagi walked to the console with her arms folded, looking at the twisted lines like twists, and these represent the second The chaotic mental state of the qualified person, "It's actually a spiritual attack. Can the apostle understand human beings?"

"The mental pollution of POD2 has broken through to the Y-axis, Minister!" Maya Ibuki looked at Ritsuko Akagi.

"We can't interfere with the battlefield over there. Notify POD1 and leave it to Shinji Ikari. He knows what to do." Ritsuko Akagi said.

At this time, Shinji Ikari, who was fighting with the Bird Angel, or to be precise, dismembering this overly large body, naturally noticed that Asuka was being disturbed.However, Shinji Ikari did not hear the screams from Asuka on the channels of the two machines——

[POD2 disconnected. 】

Shinji Ikari looked at the prompt that suddenly popped up. After being stunned again, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

He is the clearest about the pain caused by mental pollution, but the real fatal thing is the painful memory that is unwilling to face directly. Without an indestructible will, the spirit of anyone attacked by mental pollution will be quickly distorted and deformed. .

But Asuka was able to hold on without saying a word for three seconds, and in the end she didn't want to disconnect herself from seeing her miserable condition, which shows that her will to fight this time is also quite strong.
