Machine War: Infinite Frontier

It is not natural that Ikari Gendō does not want Xiao Yun to continue to drive Unit-01. Letting Xiao Yun continue to drive Unit-01 to fight against the apostles will only make his plan go further and further off track. Although there is no way to completely restrict Xiao Yun, transferring Unit-02 can also reduce NERV's current dependence on Xiao Yun and Unit-01.

Moreover, transferring Unit-02 was originally part of Ikari Gendō's plan. Even without Xiao Yun, this process would have happened. It's just that it's a little earlier now because Shinji Ikari is more difficult to control than in the original plot.

Now Unit-01's behavior of killing an apostle and swallowing an apostle makes Ikari Gendō feel very anxious. The apostles must die, but they should not die in this way of being swallowed. Moreover, if it is possible, Ikari Gendō absolutely does not want Xiao Yun to enter the cockpit of Unit-01 again.

Ikari Gendō has his own script, and the organization behind him also has its own script, but all of this was messed up when Xiao Yun appeared. The halo that appeared above Unit-01 after it devoured the second Angel Core represented the awakening of Unit-01, and this was not one of the two scripts.

Unit-01 has awakened, and many people don't understand the meaning of this, but Ikari Gendō does. What Ikari Gendō doesn't understand is why Xiao Yun's soul has not been eroded, and he still looks like nothing happened, why the combination of Unit-01 and Xiao Yun has produced such a strange change, what's the matter with the dark AT force field that makes people feel creepy, and why the machine that can only be driven by Shinji Ikari can be operated by another person.

If Xiao Yun knew that Ikari Gendō thought Unit-01 had awakened, he would definitely agree. This was a certain degree of awakening brought about by qualitative change. Xiao Yun, who had always been in sync with Unit-01, could grasp all the changes in it. However, Unit-01's awakening this time was more like having diarrhea after eating too much, just like when he ate something indiscriminately. He had to calm down slowly. Anyway, Unit-01 was much stronger now, but Xiao Yun estimated that he still couldn't show the kind of ruling-level ability comparable to that of a god.

Xiao Yun didn't care whether it was awakened or not. It was not that he had no brains, unless... a soul that could really think was integrated into it. No, it didn't necessarily need a soul. As long as Unit-01 was integrated into something with thinking ability and Unit-01 was integrated, Ikari Yui couldn't do it. Ikari Yui couldn't completely control Unit-01 at all. She didn't have active control over Unit-01, but there was no need to do so. It was enough for her to understand what he was saying now.

All these circumstances have made Ikari Gendō very afraid of Xiao Yun. Naturally, he can only recruit more combat power from other places as soon as possible and no longer rely on the power of Unit-01 and Xiao Yun to find the answers to these questions.

And he will also increase his efforts to find Ikari Shinji. In fact, Ikari Gendō has thought that Ikari Shinji is dead, but as long as there is hope, he will not give up. Moreover, the soul of Ikari Yui is still in Unit-01. If Ikari Shinji died, Unit-01 would either be violent or completely silent. The current situation should not happen.

But there is a simplest possibility. The reason why humans are humans is that they do not have the power of God. No matter how brainless the apostle is, he is still a God. Even if Ikari Yui merges into Unit-01, her soul is still human, and it is a human soul that is now suppressed by Unit-01's own soul under the influence of Xiao Yun. Even Unit-01 cannot feel whether a human is still alive. How can Ikari Yui feel whether Ikari Shinji is dead when she is suppressed? As long as Xiao Yun tells her that Ikari Shinji is still alive, it is just a matter of words. She must firmly believe that Ikari Shinji is still alive.

The synchronization between Unit-01 and Xiao Yun seems to be two-way, but in fact it is one-way. It is Xiao Yun who controls Unit-01 in one direction. It is impossible for Ikari Yui's soul to get the news that Ikari Shinji is dead from Xiao Yun's brain through the synchronization method. What can be obtained is endless darkness erosion.

However, the current situation of Unit-01 is really similar to Xiao Yun. The whole is gradually becoming the same shape as Xiao Yun. It is not an exaggeration to say that the current Unit-01 is Xiao Yun's clone.

Akagi Ritsuko and Katsuragi Misato heard Xiao Yun's self-aware statement that Ikari Gendō didn't want him to touch Unit-01 again, and their expressions suddenly became a little strange.

Xiao Yun looked at the two of them without saying anything and then said, "It's okay, just do what Dr. Ritsuko asked you to do as soon as possible."

"Got it, I'll let you know if there's any news."

The peaceful days hadn't lasted for a few days, and another apostle was about to arrive.

A blue diamond-shaped apostle was found to have landed from the coastline and was heading in a straight line towards the direction of the Third New Tokyo City. The UN forces that went to intercept it couldn't even get close before being directly destroyed by the powerful laser beam. After finding that they couldn't stop it, the UN directly ordered NERV to send EVA to meet it.

Then it was time for Ikari Gendō to struggle the most.

Xiao Yun naturally received the call at the first time and went on standby.

After sitting in the cockpit and getting everything ready, Akagi Ritsuko's communication screen appeared in the cockpit: "Mr. Xiao Yun, Unit 0 will attack this time, please wait in Unit 01."

Xiao Yun nodded, but because he took off his helmet, his mocking smile was seen by everyone in the command center without any cover.

As Unit 0 attacked, the relevant screen appeared in front of Xiao Yun.

Unit Zero had just arrived on the ground when a high-energy beam that penetrated and destroyed the buildings on the road burst out from the core of the transformed Thunder Angel, directly hitting the Unit Zero that had just arrived on the ground.

For a moment, brilliant colors burst out in the screen, and the AT force field also appeared in front of Unit Zero, struggling to resist Thunder Angel's attack. Even if the AT force field could barely resist, Thunder Angel's attack would not be so easy. He was able to resist. Xiao Yun even heard Ayanami Rei's muffled groan through the communication.

But soon a defensive baffle popped up in front of Unit Zero, which relieved Ayanami Rei's pressure. Ayanami Rei, who had been resisting hard, got some breathing space.

However, Thunder Angel quickly deformed and released a more powerful beam of light in the direction of Unit Zero. At the critical moment, the ground around Unit Zero suddenly collapsed, allowing Unit Zero to escape the trap.

"Mr. Xiao Yun, when the battle is over we need to formulate a new battle plan."

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Why don't you let me try it?"

Ritsuko Akagi quickly explained: "We have just detected that the AT field on the surface of the Thunder Angel has been phase-distorted. Even if you are allowed to go up, it will be difficult to neutralize the AT field, and once you are ejected, you will face the Thunder Angel at the beginning. That attack just now.”

"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean I can't do it." Xiao Yun put the helmet on his head and said again: "Put me up."

Ritsuko Akagi glanced back in the direction of Ikari Gendo, but suddenly found that the place where someone should have been was now empty. Ikari Gendo had left at some point and only Fuyutsuki Kouzou was left standing in that position.

Perhaps noticing Ritsuko Akagi's gaze, Fuyutsuki Yukino nodded slightly: "It may be difficult to find a suitable method at this time. Since Mr. Xiao Yun is so confident, let him try it."

Ritsuko Akagi's eyes flickered and nodded slightly, then turned back to look at Xiao Yun on the screen: "Okay."

The ejection process was started, and Unit 1 rushed directly from the ground to the ground. After a clang, Xiao Yun soon had to face the same treatment as Unit 0. It should be said that the treatment he faced was even more grand than Unit 0.

Thunder Angel released the same high-energy ray towards Unit 1 for the second time. As soon as Xiao Yun raised his head, he saw the terrifying energy sweeping towards him. The speed was so fast that it was difficult to react.

But Xiao Yun is not an ordinary person. He took control of the No. 1 machine and immediately left the ejection rack and raised his hands as he stepped forward. The AT force field, which was different from the apostles or beings in this world, instantly unfolded and directly withstood the terrifying attack of the Thunder Angel. .

The burning sensation on his arms was acceptable, and the huge impact could not affect Xiao Yun in the slightest.

The black abyss-like AT force field began to surge, revealing that it was difficult to look directly at. Compared with the normal regular force fields of apostles and humans, it was completely opposite.

The surge of black AT force field not only slowed down the impact of Thunder Angel's attack, but also completely resisted this wave of Thunder Angel's attacks.

When all the dust settled, everything around Unit 1 turned into hot molten iron, but Unit 1 did not appear to be affected in any way.

But the next second, Unit-01 rushed towards Thunder Angel directly against the ground. The AT force field began to spread and twist from the arms of Unit-00, and finally formed two things like spiral guns. The sharp twists were still In constant rotation.

Thunder Angel's body also changed. Its changes were full of geometric beauty. It once again shot out a beam of light and rushed towards Unit 1. Unit 1 threw out its right hand, and the spiral gun unfolded like a tentacle and turned into an AT force field. The long whip flew towards Thunder Angel, and just blocked the front of Thunder Angel's beam. Black water patterns and gorgeous force field fluctuations suddenly burst out from the contact position and then spread, bursting out with a dazzling light. .

The changes in a short period of time left the people in the command room of NERV headquarters dumbfounded. Every time Xiao Yun piloted Unit 1, they felt as if their world view had collapsed. The current Unit 1 was really still the Unit 1 they were familiar with. ?.

The whip looked soft but was actually extremely strong. It was like a telescopic spear, but it did not affect Unit-00's galloping on the ground. But when Unit-00's left hand penetrated hard, the black force field collapsed. The gorgeous force field was shattered, and it felt like the AT force field was shattering layer by layer as Unit 1 advanced. Even the light energy attack released by the Thunder Angel was pushed back. Everyone just watched helplessly. The No. 1 machine approached Thunder Angel, and then stabbed into Thunder Angel's body with unabated force.

Two more powerful AT force fields collided again, as if a roaring explosion caused a violent impact. Everything around them began to collapse in a circular spread. Even the ground began to collapse. It seemed that there were only two force fields left in the entire sky and world. Colors colliding together and arc sparks sputtering.

"Go to hell!"

Xiao Yun held the operating lever with both hands and pushed forward hard, and the bird runes shot out from his eyes. The next second, a black halo suddenly appeared on the top of the head of Unit 1, and the green stripes all over his body also instantly turned into It turned red, and like a demon, it was stained with a layer of surging black mist. The black mist swirled and twisted and then began to condense. Two black arms grew directly behind the No. 1 fuselage, with a black spiral spear thorn at the front. Enter the body of Thunder Angel.

In an instant, Xiao Yun clearly heard a crackling sound in his ears. This was the direct collapse of Thunder Angel's AT force field. Without the AT force field, Thunder Angel could not stop the intrusion of the four spiral spears. .

The four arms of Unit-01 seemed to be equipped with small motors, stabbing and pulling out, and in the blink of an eye, countless holes were poked in the shell of Thunder Angel, so fast that it was dazzling.

The diamond-shaped shell of Thunder Angel also flipped and changed, and stuck the four arms of Unit-01, exposing the red core hidden in the middle. When the energy began to condense and prepare to reward Unit-01 with a super close distance, another spiral gun directly stabbed into the red core, and then with a click, it shattered directly with the continuous penetration of the spiral gun.

The fifth black hand composed of AT force field on the back of Unit-01 appeared instantly and killed Thunder Angel by surprise. After piercing the core of Thunder Angel, it immediately spread out and covered the core of Thunder Angel, and quickly retracted and stuffed some of the core fragments into Unit-01's mouth.

But this time it was no longer Unit-01's own behavior, but the result of Xiao Yun's active control, and only a few fragments instead of the entire core, and these fragments were stuffed into Unit-01's mouth before Thunder Angel stopped all actions and completely shattered.

"Just taste it, it's almost enough."

"Aohou!"

Unit-01 roared to the sky, and the black halo above its head became deeper.

Originally, Xiao Yun didn't want Unit-01 to devour more cores, but when he drove Unit-01 today, he found that Unit-01, which had swallowed two apostles one after another, actually had some abilities of the first two apostles. Although it was very weak, it was indeed there. The spiral gun was another form of the whip of the day angel, but the most important thing was that the core of the water angel gave Unit-01 the ability to grow.

Now swallowing the thunder angel might also give Unit-01 a long-range attack method. Xiao Yun took the initiative to pick up the fragments and stuffed them into Unit-01's mouth just to try it.

Xiao Yun didn't know why such a change occurred, and Unit-01 was an idiot, so he didn't know.

According to the setting, the apostles have the fruit of life, and humans have the fruit of wisdom, so the apostles have powerful power and endless life, but they are idiots with only instincts, but the water angel has a very good learning ability. Unit-01, which has obtained the complete core of the water angel, naturally has such an ability.

The Thunder Angel with a broken core let out a painful roar, and soon turned into red liquid and scattered on the ground.

Xiao Yun released the operating lever and stomped his feet: "Walk back by yourself."

"Aohou~~~~~~" (End of this chapter)
