Machine War: Infinite Frontier

Unit-01 was eventually hoisted back, with its body shattered, muscles torn, and red blood all over its body drained. Although it still looked like a whole, it was explained in understandable terms as a comminuted fracture, full-body tearing, and high-temperature burns. It looked so miserable that Xiao Yun felt heartbroken.

"Take care of your injuries, Unit-01."

Xiao Yun waved at Unit-01 that was hoisted away in the sky, and then looked at the people around him: "Why are you here?"

Misato Katsuragi, Ryoji Kaji, Asuka, and Makiba, the four people who were supposed to be in the base, followed the recovery team to Xiao Yun.

When everyone thought of the incredible scene they had just seen on the screen, they couldn't help but be shocked. They could be said to be the people who knew EVA the most, but it was precisely because they knew them that they knew that everything Unit-01 had just shown was not something that a normal EVA could do.

The power that Unit-01 showed when dealing with the Power Angel had exceeded the limits of their cognition. That level of destructive power was even more terrifying than the natural enemy of mankind, the Apostle.

Asuka couldn't help but be shocked and asked anxiously: "How did you do it!?"

"The performance of Unit-01 just now?" Xiao Yun glanced at Asuka, and a rare thoughtful expression appeared on his face: "You two may be able to do this."

"We can do it too!" Asuka was delighted: "Really? How should I do it?"

Xiao Yun nodded with certainty: "You have completely satisfied the fact that you suffer from severe mental illness."

"Ah?"

"???"

"Psychosis?"

"Not psychiatric disorder, but mental illness." Xiao Yun corrected Makiba's words.

The corners of Kaji Ryoji's mouth twitched twice: "Is there any difference?"

"It's mental trauma." Yu Jian Mingye explained lightly behind Xiao Yun: "People who have suffered mental trauma but can cheer up bravely are more likely to mobilize such power. Activating such power requires absolute persistence and perseverance. Only talents who are paranoid in some aspects can use the LD system freely, and most people with mental paranoia often have a certain degree of mental trauma. This is a psychological problem in the strict sense." Kaji Ryoji looked at Xiao Yun unconsciously. Noticing Kaji Ryoji's gaze, Xiao Yun waved his hand and said: "I'm different. I'm just paranoid without trauma." Kaji Ryoji carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead and laughed dryly.

Misato Katsuragi asked, "How does this LD system make EVA so powerful?"

Yu Jian Ming Ye glanced at Xiao Yun, and after seeing Xiao Yun nod, he said to Misato Katsuragi, "Converting desires and impulses into pure physical power can even change the normal physical operation logic to some extent. It is a completely idealistic power. As long as the mind and spirit are strong enough, the carrier strength is strong enough, and the energy supply can keep up, even a punch can smash a mountain."

"That's right." Xiao Yun smiled and nodded, saying, "Due to the operation of the LD system, I fully blessed this power on Unit-01, directly strengthening the individual performance of EVA and breaking through the limit. Something that is not seen does not mean it does not exist. The AT force field that crushed the Angel of Power with one punch was not only relied on Unit-01 but also on me. It is a very idealistic thing like the AT force field, and there are many similarities, just like I can also use this power to create a powerful barrier, but the AT force field does have unique advantages in defense and versatility. "

No matter how powerful the LD system is, it is only a power conversion, but the AT force field can achieve the degree of material conversion. Even if this conversion has great limitations, it is still a material conversion. Converting idealistic power into matter is something that the LD system cannot do anyway.

And the wall of the heart also has a natural advantage in defense. The barrier created by the LD force field and the AT barrier under the same consumption are not at the same level.

But now it seems that even a powerful body like EVA cannot withstand the full power of the LD drive...or it cannot withstand the full power under Xiao Yun's leadership.

In the Dawn Underground Base, Nagisa Kaoru, who was tied to the cross, suddenly raised his head and showed an inexplicable smile on his face.

"Is that so? Unit-01 is also unusable. The conditions are met now that the Angel of Power has been destroyed. Shinji... I will see you again soon. This time, I will definitely make you truly happy."

………………

On the way back to the city, Misato Katsuragi frowned and told Xiao Yun about the situation of Unit-01: "Unit-01 is severely damaged. There are not many intact places from the inside to the outside. Fortunately, Unit-01 has a certain degree of self-repair ability, but it will probably take at least half a month to use Unit-01 again. If the Angel attacks again, we will only have Unit-02 left."

"It's okay."

Xiao Yun shook his head and said, "The Angel's self-repair ability is strong. Now Unit-01 is equivalent to half an Angel after having the core. I just want to try to stimulate Unit-01's ability to recover itself."

Misato Katsuragi was a little unconvinced: "Although I know that the Angel has a strong recovery ability because of the Fruit of Life, can Unit-01 do this?"

Xiao Yun nodded: "It should be possible."

This is not Xiao Yun's nonsense, but that Unit 1 can really do this kind of thing. It is not easy for the AT force field to flash and recover itself.

But Xiao Yun still thought too easily about this matter. Even if it was confirmed that the AT force field could carry out material conversion to a certain extent, Xiao Yun still failed to achieve this. Perhaps some conditions were not met and the relationship simply could not let Chu Unit No. 1 flashed and returned to its original state, but the black mud-like AT force field covering the whole body somewhat accelerated the self-recovery speed of Unit No. 1.

Jumping out of the cockpit of Unit 1, Xiao Yun landed on the trestle and frowned slightly as he looked at Unit 1 with bandages everywhere and its scary big eyes.

When Xiao Yun tried it, he found that something seemed to be missing, but he didn't know what the missing thing was. However, after swallowing so many Apostles, the No. 1 machine failed to swallow the ability of high-speed regeneration, which made him panic. I want Unit 1 to swallow a few more apostles.

Ritsuko Akagi stood next to Xiao Yun with a cigarette in his mouth and looked up at Unit 1: "This is the first time I have seen such a tragic situation in Unit 1. I can only say that it is you, Mr. Xiao Yun, you let people pretend That thing on Airframe 1 is outrageous.”

"I'm too excited. I haven't been able to use my power so freely for a long time." Xiao Yun smiled and said, "I'll leave the rest to you."

Ritsuko Akagi nodded: "I will complete the repair of Unit 1 as soon as possible. As long as Lilith is here, the threat posed by the apostle will never disappear."

Xiao Yun waved his hand and left. When he came outside the hangar, he saw Dongyue Xingzeng standing with his hands behind his back.

Dongyue Xingzeng followed Xiao Yun and said: "In this way, the last apostle recorded in the Dead Sea Document has also been eliminated. According to the records in the Dead Sea Document and the agreement with Lilith, all the apostles will be killed as sacrifices. Let’s start the third impact. As long as the imprisoned apostles are not killed, the third impact will never happen again.”

Xiao Yun said: "So there is more than one way to start the third impact."

Dongyue said: "Sacrifice a sufficient number of apostles, or let the Fruit of Life and the Fruit of Wisdom come into contact, and the apostles return to Adam, or use the power of God to launch an anti-AT force field, also known as the L field. The method has never been But ultimately the essence is the same.”

Xiao Yun said: "The reason for the second impact was that Adam turned on the anti-AT force field?"

Dongyue said: "The reason why the point where the second impact occurred is called the restricted area of ​​life is because of the powerful L force field. If the AT force field is the wall of the heart that distinguishes living individuals, then the L force field Existence is to dissolve the AT force field and return all life to unity, turning everything into a single color. Human greed and SEELE's script simultaneously create the second impact, which is also the punishment brought by Adam to all life on this planet."

"You have been with Ikari Yuantang for a long time and you are as talkative as him." Xiao Yun chuckled and said: "What should I do if I want to start the third impact now."

Dongyue replied without any hesitation: "Resolve the remaining three apostles to complete the contract with Lilith and pull out the Spear of Longinus from Lilith, or sacrifice all the apostles including Adam and Lilith." It is also Ikari Yuantang’s plan to become a god himself, to become the only god.”

"The price is the death of all life, but if God can show mercy and mercy he can create a new world."

Needless to say who the last three apostles are, Xiao Yun pondered for a moment and then shook his head. He was not interested in anything godless. He would become a monster like Adam Lilith or Ikari Yuantang in exchange for becoming the so-called god. This kind of god is not appropriate.

"I am not a person who is greedy for power." Xiao Yun shrugged his shoulders and said: "If you remain greedy for power, sooner or later you will be swallowed up by power."

Dongyue said softly: "Apostles can also be artificially created. Is SEELE really so easy to be eliminated? I suggest that we continue to develop new EVA to enhance Dawn's combat capabilities."

"I will consider it." Xiao Yun nodded and said: "Anyway, as long as the Spear of Longinus is not pulled out, the final agreement with Lilith cannot be completed. As long as the Fruit of Life and the Fruit of Wisdom are not allowed to complete contact, There is no way to trigger a third impact.”

Dongyue nodded and said: "In principle, this is the case, but if it is known to the outside world, perhaps no apostle will appear again in the future, and Shuguang will probably be hostile to all forces. Useless things should not exist. This is also The self-elimination of life.”

Xiao Yun stopped and turned around to look at Dongyue: "Interesting, do you want me to develop artificial apostles to create illusions and maintain everything that Shuguang has now?"

Dongyue said calmly: "If there was no Dawn, those of us who had joined NERV and were pardoned by Dawn would probably not be able to escape the pursuit of the coalition forces."

"Ha." Xiao Yun showed a disdainful expression and said, "No need."

Dongyue smiled slightly: "Mr. Xiao Yun is very confident."

Continuing to take steps, Xiao Yun said: "They don't have such strength or courage."

"But I heard that Mr. Xiao Yun's subordinates seem to have developed brand-new humanoid combat weapons for many countries."

Xiao Yun: "It's just a semi-finished product. If someone really dares to attack, I wouldn't mind letting them see what the finished product looks like. The capabilities displayed by Unit 1 today are enough for them to consider carefully."

Dongyue said the truth: "But it will also make them feel scared."

While the two were talking, a sharp alarm sounded, and red lights began to flash in the corridor.

Dongyue's expression changed slightly and he didn't know what happened.

But soon, Misato Katsuragi's voice rang through the loudspeaker: "Detainee No. 3 escaped from the cell. Everyone, pay attention. Once found, kill him on the spot. Repeat, Detainee No. 3 escaped from the cell. Once found, kill him on the spot!"

Detainee No. 3 escaped?

Xiao Yun frowned. Detainee No. 3 was Kaoru Nagisa. Unexpectedly, Kaoru Nagisa escaped from the place where he was imprisoned.

"This guy, the seal column is ineffective against him?" Xiao Yun quickened his pace, and Suzaku Kururugi came up and handed over the helmet: "My lord, we have found that the target is heading towards the elevator in the depths, and Ling Yi has gone to intercept him."

Dongyue's pupils flickered: "He is going to Lilith! Oops, once he comes into contact with Lilith, it is likely to trigger the third impact!"

Xiao Yun didn't hesitate. After putting on the helmet, he quickly ran towards the elevator leading directly to the central dogma.

He was careless. Seeing that Kaoru Nagisa was so cooperative, he chose to seal Kaoru Nagisa. However, Xiao Yun did not expect that the sealing column had no effect on Kaoru Nagisa. Kaoru Nagisa could escape from the cross even though he was tied up like this. He underestimated Kaoru Nagisa. This guy must have some special abilities that ordinary people do not have.

Xiao Yun also understood the reason why the sealing column could not work. Although Kaoru Nagisa's soul was Adam, this guy's body was human.

Xiao Yun felt that he was being played from the beginning and strangely did not get angry. This was his own mistake. If he got angry, he would be angry with himself. Xiao Yun would not do such unnecessary things.

Xiao Yun narrowed his eyes: "You really gave me a big surprise, Kaoru Nagisa. Even if you are asked to start the third impact, what can it do? I have been interested in the Calvary Body for a long time."

Xiao Yun, who was approaching the elevator, soon heard an explosion. The smoke and dust spread rapidly along the passage but did not slow down Xiao Yun's speed at all.

Soon Xiao Yun saw Kaoru Nagisa, who was surrounded by the AT force field, and Rei who was blocking him.

Perhaps noticing Xiao Yun's presence, Nagisa Xun stopped and turned to smile in Xiao Yun's direction: "Mr. Xiao Yun, stop. You who are not from Lilith will not be affected by the Third Impact. As long as you can leave this area, you will not be hurt. After I open the Gate of Gav, I will send you to the moon and let you go back to your own place." (End of this chapter)
