"The surveillance target is invading towards the Odawara Defense Line."

"Analysis of unknown flying objects completed."

"The pattern is blue, it is definitely an apostle."

"Apostle No. 6?"

On the command podium, Commander Ikari and Dongyue have also risen from the stage.

After the incident involving Apostle No. 5, Day Angel, the escaped apostle did not come to attack. NERV now welcomed another apostle, who is now the Thunder Angel.

Commander Ikari pushed up his glasses, and then said: "Let Unit 3 attack, and Unit 1 prepare for support."

"EVA Unit 3 is ready for ejection, the second restrainer is released. Launch!"

"Miss Catherine..."

Sitting on Unit 1, Shinji Ikari looked at Unit 3 beside him. In the blink of an eye, Unit 3 had ejected.

"The target object invades the sky above Lake Ashi."

"EVA Unit 1 is ready for launch! On standby!"

Although she was a little confused as to why Unit 3 was sent up first, Misato Katsuragi still knew that the most important thing now was actually the battle in front of her.

"A high-energy reaction is happening ahead!"

"——Could it be an apostle!" Misato Katsuragi immediately shouted: "Get out of the way!"

At the moment she spoke, Thunder Angel had completed its transformation. At this moment, Thunder Angel seemed to have turned into a huge energy cannon, and a strong torrent was spitting out!

"Tch, I expected that——"

The No. 3 aircraft that had just ejected jumped high in an instant and avoided the bombardment.

"!!!"

But something unexpected happened.

The light of this bombardment actually came towards Catherine's No. 3 machine like a laser sword.

"So, I have seen through your attack!"

The No. 3 machine's feet were already facing the target of the bombardment, but at this time, the No. 3 machine suddenly "stepped" on the gun barrel, kicked hard, and rushed directly towards Thunder Angel!

"Did you use the AT force field and the beam cannon as a springboard?!"

The astonishing movements of the pilot of Unit 3 shocked everyone else.

But I have to say that the actions of Unit 3 are indeed amazing!

But at this time, Thunder Angel let out a scream, and red light spurted out instantly. Its power was much greater than the beam cannon just now!

"See it all!"

Facing the battle of Thunder Angel, Catherine did not hesitate. She immediately accelerated and rushed towards Thunder Angel. With dangerous and dangerous moves, Catherine avoided the bombardment and got close to Thunder Angel again!

"Miss Catherine..."

Unit No. 1, who was acting as support, was immediately startled after seeing this scene.

The scene just now made him tremble with fear.

Hitting the high-energy beam cannon, Unit 3 looked like a ghost.

As if in response to Catherine, Thunder Angel made a strange sound again.

"...the target's high-energy response is enhanced!"

"——Katherine! Retreat!" Misato Katsuragi could only give this order.

"I was targeted and it was too late."

Catherine did not deny that she could retreat safely.

However, she wanted to try to see what level she could reach against Thunder Angel simply by relying on her driving skills.

Fierce beam bombardment struck again.

This blazing energy seemed to be able to destroy an entire city, almost burning everything in sight.

"Unit 3!"

Because they are high-energy particles, the only time to avoid them is to anticipate the moment the opponent launches them.

But the range of the energy burst this time was too large, giving her no extra chance at all.

"AT force field, fully activated."

Putting the force field of Unit 3 in front of you, although it cannot completely disperse the shock wave, it can make the energy "slide away".

With a leap, Unit 3 successfully escaped the attack of Thunder Angel.

However, the sixth apostle screamed again, and then, another ray of light came quickly towards Catherine!

"——!"

The No. 3 aircraft in the air showed a strange posture with its entire body, narrowly avoiding the attack.

"It's still possible to do this..."

"Is this really a human reaction?"

Ritsuko Akagi was also startled by Unit 3's actions.

Unit 3, which had avoided the attack, was now approaching Thunder Angel.

"The target has a super high energy reaction! It's a larger-scale attack than before!" Ibuki Maya even stood up.

"Unit No. 3—quick! Unit No. 1 launches. Prepare to rescue Unit No. 3!!"

Misato Katsuragi yelled immediately.

"Unit 1 is launched!"

NERV immediately took action.

On the ground, Thunder Angel's entire blue body suddenly flashed.

Immediately afterwards, a red light spurted out from Thunder Angel's body.

“Boom, boom, boom—!!!”

Violent explosions and violent roars, Unit 3 was also completely obscured by this energy at this time.

"Catherine!"

"Major Edson?!"

"Unit 3?!"

"This is...Unit No. 3 Lost...?"

Seeing the signal from Unit 3 disappear, Ibuki Maya's voice began to tremble.

"Unit 1 has arrived!"

When Shinji arrived on the surface, what he saw was ruins.

"..."

He looked at everything in front of him in surprise.

In the deserted area, only the blue crystal-like apostles in the distance exist.

And on the ground... there is nothing.

"Catherine...Sang..."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Shinji Ikari had a fearful and twisted expression on his face.

Catherine...disappeared?

"Crack-"

Then, at this moment, a black figure suddenly jumped up from the ruins, and the dagger in its hand instantly stabbed into Thunder Angel's body.

"Unit 3 is fine!"

"Miss Edson is still alive!" Maya Ibuki breathed a sigh of relief.

"wipe--"

The dagger penetrated into the core of Unit 3.

"Have you killed it?" Misato Katsuragi looked at the situation in front of her nervously.

"...Wait a minute, there's another high-energy reaction! The apostle is still there!"

As if to confirm this sentence, a violent explosion sounded again.

Cherry red light broke through the sky.

"Shinji! Hurry and cover the retreat of Unit 3!"

Misato Katsuragi now knows that this terrifying apostle is not a monster that can be defeated through simple close combat.

"...Such a strong apostle...can't do it...can't do it..."

Shinji was scared.

Shinji was very scared.

This is a terrifying creature that has almost razed the entire earth to the ground.

"——Ah, is your name Shinji-kun?"

The images in my memory seemed to come to life.

That's a... strange girl.

who is she?

So casual, so free and easy, she has a wonderful temperament that makes people feel as if she doesn't exist in this world.

"Hi, Miss Misato!"

Shinji picked up the automatic rifle next to him, and then quickly shot towards the Thunder Angel.

At the scene, Unit 3 seemed to still exist.

Having said that, Unit 3's arms are completely gone.

The AT force field only exploded the body of Unit 3.

"whispering sound."

False pain came from the nerves, but Catherine seemed not to care about the pain at all.

"Shinji, stop covering and retreat quickly!"

Catherine was already running towards the rear at this time.

"Miss Edson, get out of here!"

Shinji shouted.

"Idiot, you are still within the attack range of the apostle!"

This idiot.

Catherine was speechless and quickly returned to the front.

"...The attack is coming again!" Ibuki Maya looked at the situation and was suddenly shocked.

The current situation is obviously very bad for EVA.

"Self-destruction system is on."

Catherine was a little speechless, although she didn't want to use it at this time. But after experiencing the attack of Thunder Angel just now, she already knew that Unit 1 might not even be able to support itself when facing such an attack.

"Back off, Shinji."

Catherine had already attached Unit 3 to Thunder Angel's body.

"Miss Catherine!"

"Catherine?!" She is actually going to self-destruct?! Katsuragi Misato was a little surprised: "Quickly, terminate the connection with the pilot of Unit 3 and pop out the insertion bolt!"

"——Continue like this. Let Unit 1 retreat!"

Commander Ikari issued another order.

"If Unit 3 cannot stop the apostles, Unit 1 will now only be a target."

"——!!!" Misato Katsuragi understood instantly.

In terms of the strength of the AT force field, the intensity that Unit 3 can achieve is definitely unmatched by Unit 1.

What's more, Unit 3 also has a specialized AT force field.

The special and strange characteristics give Unit 3 unparalleled abilities.

However, if it were Unit 1, what I said just now might mean that Shinji wouldn't be able to survive at all.

Moreover, Misato Katsuragi also knew very well that Catherine did this just to protect Shinji.

This is... the best way.

"Boom!"

The No. 3 machine roared and caused a huge explosion. Even the apostle's movements were stopped by this powerful power.

"Catherine Sand!!!!"

Shinji looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.

It turned out to be like this.

It actually... became like this?

The expression on his face changed from blank to dull.

Why does it become like this?

I... obviously want to save her, why, why is this happening?

He was almost speechless.

"Catherine...Catherine..."

"Shinji! Fall back! Fall back!"

Misato Katsuragi's voice suddenly came.

"Miss Misato?!" Shinji finally came to his senses.

"Shinji! Come back quickly! The apostle is still there!"

Trying to still be here?!

Shinji subconsciously took a step back.

"It's a lie, why is this happening...it's obvious...it's obvious that Unit 3 has been sacrificed..."

He looked into the distance in surprise, but he forgot the order just now.

However, Unit-00 was standing on the deck. After seeing Shinji who was unresponsive, Misato Katsuragi immediately ordered Unit-00 to be forced back.

"Boom!"

Almost the moment Unit 1 landed, another burst of blazing energy flashed across it.

"Unit No. 3... disappeared..."

"The apostle...is still alive..."

"Why is this? Unit 3 has obviously sacrificed itself..."

Ibuki Maya could hardly believe it.

"Her movements were a little slower. At the moment of the explosion, the apostle's high-energy beam shot out." Ritsuko Akagi was silent.

"...Quick! Search for the location of the pilot of Unit 3!"

Fortunately, there seems to be nothing wrong with Catherine.

The moment Unit 3 self-destructed, Catherine had already escaped.

Although she was placed in the intensive care unit, these people didn't know that there was actually nothing wrong with Catherine.

…

"Miss Catherine..."

Standing in front of the ward, Shinji looked at the "unconscious" Catherine with a complicated expression.

His current mood was extremely entangled and angry.

Why is it like this?

If only I had listened to Catherine Sang's words and retreated, she would not have self-destructed in order to save herself.

Now, that won't be the case.

Shinji's fists were clenched tightly.

Why is this happening?

Why did things become like this at this time?

He could hardly believe it.

"It's because of me...it's because of me...it's because of me..."

Shinji didn't need anyone else around, he could tear his already mutilated heart to pieces.

"..."

A figure suddenly appeared in front of Shinji.

"Ayanami?"

"I'm here to convey to you the procedures for the next battle."

"Combat... apostle..."

The apostle that even Unit 3 cannot destroy.

"Hi. The battle plan proposed by Lieutenant Katsuragi."

"——Um, Ayanami, aren't you afraid?" he asked suddenly.

"Why?" Ayanami Rei looked at Shinji puzzled.

"Well, Catherine-san has become like this now. But when Ayanami sees Catherine-san, won't she feel...scared? The apostle...will (kill people) to death."

People will die when they are killed. This principle is very simple.

Just for Shinji to say such a sentence, it is full of chuunii atmosphere.

"Shinji, you won't die."

"???"

Shinji looked at each other strangely.

"Because, I will protect you."

"!!!"

After that, Ayanami Rei conveyed the information to Shinji, and Shinji also left here with an incomprehensible expression.

"Ah, ah, ah, I didn't expect that I actually acted as a matchmaker and helped Shinji set up a FLAG."

Seeing this situation, Catherine immediately got up from the hospital bed.

Shinji-san probably doesn't know yet, but he is actually in very good physical condition now.

However, if there are some minor problems with the testing equipment, it is a simple matter for Catherine.

By slightly modifying the signals in the circuit, Catherine can make herself both dead and alive.

This is really interesting.

"But, can you really defeat Thunder Angel this time?"

Battle of Yashima.

Use all Japan's electricity to fire positron cannons.

This plan is quite bold.

Although it is a little unreliable, it does sound very touching.

Just like Catherine.

Catherine remembered that this seemed to be the place where Rei Ayanami established her position as a "goddess".

"It's really interesting. What will happen next?"

Catherine is looking forward to what happens next.

…

And now, it's on the other side.

"The wreckage of Unit 3 has been recovered." Dongyue said to Commander Ikari.

"Oh? Did you find anything on the wreckage of Unit 3?" Commander Ikari asked.

"Hi. The animal transformation module is made of a material called 'tempered carbon nanotube fiber'. This material was actually preserved intact during the attacks of the apostles. It's really strange."

"Is it the animal transformation module..."

Commander Ikari thought for a moment and then asked.

"Since humans can't use it, then... can the DUMMY system be used?"

DUMMY system, which is an unmanned driving system.

If the human thinking mode cannot use the animalization module, what will happen if we switch to another mode?

What will happen if it is an unmanned system?

Because it is an unmanned system, there are absolutely no problems.

If only... the DUMMY system really worked.

"But in this case, Unit 3 has been completely wiped out. Is this really good?" Dongyue couldn't help but ask.

"Well, that's fine for the time being. Unit 3 has completed its mission. And if this happens, other countries won't talk too much."

This is true.

Currently, there are only six machines in the EVA manufacturing plan. The No. 2 machine is ready to go to Japan, and the remaining No. 5 machine is simply unfinished. Now all the EVAs can be said to be concentrated here, and NERV is facing

The problem is also huge.

The construction plan after Unit 5 has not started at all. Unit 6 is said to be built on the moon, but in fact Commander Ikari plans to visit it again soon.

As for Unit 7, although the Americans announced their plan, it was only on paper.

"That's true, but for Miss Catherine Edson, there will be Unit 4 in the future. But if one person can own two EVAs for driving, she is really America's darling."

"SEELE has their own script, and NERV also has its own script, but the Americans also have their own ideas. The variables are getting bigger and bigger, but because of this, we have to be more firm in our plans."

Commander Ikari said this.

"Um."

The world is no longer the same as before.

Somehow, Ikari Yuandu suddenly had such a strange and weird idea.

But...what's the problem?

Ikari Yuandu doesn't understand this.

"By the way, what should the Sixth Apostle do next? The self-destruction of Unit 3 did not harm the opponent. Is that Yashima battle really trustworthy?"

"I trust Lieutenant Katsuragi's judgment." Commander Ikari said without hesitation.

"The electricity supply for all of Japan...is really a big deal."

Dongyue is still a little uneasy.

But he didn't know that Catherine had now acted as Shinji Ikari's "plug-in", hiding her body and following Shinji Ikari.

As long as the positron cannon can be fired, it will never fail...

Well, having said that, it would be better to have Rei Ayanami set a flag in the first shot.

…

I have been in a state of decadence recently, and I planned to stop writing about transformation after finishing this book, but I came across a book today, and I became more competitive, and my imagination suddenly opened up...

...Well, forget it, I am already old and can no longer hold the keyboard QAQ

All in all, two in one.

Well, I suddenly want to write an Earth OL...
