The Collection of The End

eva test site.

"Unit No. 1 started successfully!]"

"The synchronization rate is unstable and fluctuates between 30% and 70%!]"

"Shinji-kun? Are you okay? If not, let Zero attack alone this time.]"

"It's okay. Won't the driver only suffer mental damage? I lay down for 5 days and everything is fine." Shinji Ikari sat in the insertion plug and raised his hand to touch the head that was holding him. Li Ziqiu: "Sorry, I made you worry]."

"No, it's me who needs to apologize. I sent you out rashly without doing sufficient investigation, and now I have to fight again just after I woke up," Misato Katsuragi said with a bit of remorse in her tone: "Wait a minute. After this battle, I will compensate you well.】"

Come on, what kind of curse-like speech is this: "You will die in this battle"?

"Since the synchronization rate is still unstable, let's keep the Unit-00 activated for the time being to familiarize ourselves with the weapons we will use next, and practice coordinating with Zero by the way.]" Misato Katsuragi continued.

Unit Zero? Shinji Ikari subconsciously thought of the giant girl with huge horns on her head who was hysterically attacking the nerv in the illusion. She should not appear again...

Boom, boom, boom.

Following the sound of heavy footsteps, Unit Zero walked over from the test site next door—theoretically it could only be the orange Unit Zero.

But in Shinji Ikari's eyes, what he saw was a man with short silver-blue hair, a short green horn on his forehead, red-rimmed glasses on his face, wearing the standard Shikusui of the Garden of Assembly, and he was using a lens with no focus. The red eyes stared at his super giant girl.

Although he is very dissatisfied with his father for leaving his mother and son alone...but he is really strong...

"Good afternoon, Shinji-kun.]" Rei Ayanami's voice came from the internal communication.

With the words, the image of the giant girl disappeared in an instant, leaving only Unit Zero, which had one orange eye and was not as cool as Unit 1. It was even raising its hand to say hello to itself.

"Good afternoon, Ayanami." Shinji Ikari also asked Unit-0 to raise his hand in response.

"You guys... forget it, it's a good thing to have a relaxed mind. Now, go to the weapons depot and try out your equipment - open the guidance channel!]"

Following Misato Katsuragi's command, the walls of the aircraft testing ground opened to both sides, revealing a long and wide passage.

Shinji Ikari waited for Unit Zero to approach and walked in with it.

"Speaking of which, although I have seen Unit Zero activated, I have never fought side by side." He said as he walked.

"Yes.]" Ayanami Rei was still concise and to the point.

"Although Unit Zero has a higher number than Unit 1, Unit 1, which has gone through two battles, is the predecessor."

"Um.】"

"So, if you don't understand anything about fighting the apostles, you can come and ask me."

"..."

Unit Zero turned his head and glanced at Unit 1.

Oops... Because the atmosphere was a bit suitable, I started talking nonsense. Why did she need to teach herself how to deal with the apostles?

Shinji Ikari was about to say something to make up for it, but Unit Zero had already turned his head back.

"Okay, 'Senior'.]" Ayanami Rei replied.

"..." I couldn't tell for a moment whether the information integration thought body was causing trouble.

"Let me tell you, although it should be easy, you are a little too relaxed, right? But now...]" Misato Katsuragi paused in the middle of her lecture: "What? The synchronization rate of Unit 1 is stable at 65%? Then it's okay. You guys continue chatting.】"

——

What appeared in front of Shinji Ikari was a giant gun that looked like a Barrett. It was completely black, with an extra-long barrel connected to numerous cables with unknown functions. The gun body also had various bloated modifications. .

"Shinji-kun, this is the firearm I specially prepared for this 'Operation Yashima'," Ritsuko Akagi seemed to have snatched Katsuragi Misato's microphone: "'EV special positron cannon, ring acceleration type trial production type 20, modified ', pick it up and try it?]"

The gun body was bloated and the name was long-winded... Shinji Ikari looked at the new card that appeared in front of him.

Electro-Light Gun: Only available to ‘Elemental Hero Electro-Man’. It can change the appearance of enemy monsters up to three times. 】

What the hell? How dare you call for a gun without even adding attack power?

Shinji Ikari controlled Unit 1 to pick up the gun and try to weigh it: "It's too heavy, Aka... Ritsuko-sister, it's difficult to move with it."

"This is not for you to carry it around. Didn't I say it before? This time it is a 'super long-distance sniper operation'," Ritsuko Akagi said: "At that time, you only need to put the target into the sight, and then pull the trigger. Just pull the trigger.】"

Um? In this case, this card will be useful. If the fifth apostle spreads itself out and forms a cross posture, which is considered "attack position", then the electric light gun can force it back to the "defense position" of the regular octahedron, but that thing Not "God"? Magic traps are ineffective.

Curry Curry]

Oh, traps are ineffective and magic only lasts for one turn?

Then this card can be used three times alone. Doesn't it mean it's a natural defeat?

"..." Shinji Ikari was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Ziqiu, and thought to himself: Just a few more words?

Curry Curry]

Okay, I don’t understand it anymore, and I don’t know what the principle is, so let’s leave it alone for now.

"But that thing will also fight back? If I can't move, won't I become a target?" Shinji Ikari made a reasonable analysis based on the actual situation.

"Hmph, it's the turn of another special weapon to appear at this time! Dang Dang!]" Ritsuko Akagi even added the sound effects for herself: "EVA's special heat-resistant light wave defense shield·Kaitou]! Zero, go try it .”

Another weapons workshop opened, and what appeared was a huge and thick black round cross shield.

But the card that appears because of it is sparkling and beautiful.

Millennium Shield: Attack: 0, Defense: 3000]

Um? Um? Shinji Ikari had seen this shield before, and it had been held by the "Giant Shield Guardian". But that guy's attributes are attack 100 and defense 2600. He sacrificed four times the defense in order to gain an extra 100 points of attack power.

Although Ayanami's ability as a "qualified person" is different from his own, and he can't use the card if he can't see it, but just looking at the defense points, he is almost invincible.

He felt reassured as he watched Unit Zero step forward and take off the giant shield, trying several defensive postures.

This is sure.

——2015.6.17——

Yashima, Futoko Mountain.

The plan to defeat the fifth apostle with one blow from a very long distance was simple, but the implementation was quite troublesome.

Shinji Ikari sat on the restraint frame that was level with Unit-0, watching the Nerv staff below busy charging the "Electric Light Gun" and arranging defensive positions for the "Millennium Shield".

During the five days when they were in a coma, they used various self-propelled artillery drones and even missiles to test the fifth apostle's maximum counterattack distance and the strength of the AT force field, and then formulated this sniper plan.

The current position is "the distance limit that cannot be counterattacked before launching an attack." Although it is not that we do not want to directly arrange it to a super long distance that cannot be counterattacked, but in that case the power of the weapon will be greatly reduced, and it will not be enough to penetrate the apostle's AT field. .

According to the plan, there are only two attack opportunities in this battle. If the first attack misses, Unit Zero will raise its shield to defend against the apostle's attack and support it until the second attack is ready. If it misses the second time, it will either sacrifice Zero. Unit No. 1 buys time for the third strike, or gives up the battle plan and engages in a decisive battle in the underground fortress with only a 13% chance of winning.

But for Shinji Ikari, the "ball lightning" that is not a direct attack is the real threat. It does not exist in reality and cannot be countered, but it can accurately destroy his own monsters. If he cannot find a way to deal with it, reality will The sniper plan could not be realized.

"Ayanami," he said to Rei Ayanami who was on the restraint rack on the other side: "Tell me, since they are called angels, will there be gods?"

Although the dragon didn't look like a god, Li Ziqiu clearly said...

"Yes, I am."

"...Don't take what the 'Information Integrated Thought Body' says."

"That's not it."

"Well..." Shinji Ikari spent more than ten seconds trying to understand what she was talking about, and then found that it was indeed the case.

"Angels" are created by "God", and "God" can easily create and destroy the world.

"Apostles" were created by "Eve", and she can also create and destroy the world.

And Ayanami Rei is approximately equal to Eve, approximately equal to "God".

There's nothing wrong with this logic.

Although it has nothing to do with the dragon thing I want to ask about.

"Forget it, I just felt it. The time is coming soon, let's get ready to insert the plug." Shinji Ikari stood up.

"Wait." Ayanami Rei stopped him.

"What?"

"Even if it's a 'god'," Ayanami said, "you can defeat it."

"I'd like to lend you some good words." Shinji Ikari waved his hand and stepped off the restraint rack.

——

Elemental hero Electro, attack: 1600, defense: 1400]

Electric light gun]

Not very surprising, or rather, not surprising at all.

Shinji Ikari summoned Electro - a lanky "hero" in blue clothes and golden armor. Although he looked very human-like, he could be said to be metal - and then equipped him with a lightning gun.

Curry Curry! ] Chestnut Ball waved its little paws desperately.

"Shinji-kun! Zero! A high-energy reaction occurs within the apostle!]"

Ever since he aimed that positron cannon at the fifth apostle, the duel disk appeared automatically, obviously entering the battle, but since the opponent chose to wait and see, Shinji Ikari didn't mind waiting for an extra two minutes.

I'm waiting for a card draw, what are you waiting for?

As expected, when Electro appeared on the stage, the fifth apostle, who had transformed into a red dragon, opened the first mouth on its head and smashed a ball of lightning straight over.

At first, the Bubble Man just ate this and disappeared immediately, but that was because the distance was too close and he had no time to react. But now, with such a far distance, the thunderball would have to fly for a while, so now he Can--

Activate the lightning gun effect and change the enemy monster into defense position!

"Kakakaka——" The giant red dragon roared unwillingly, lay down, and the thunderball that flew halfway disappeared.

"Uh, wait, Shinji-kun, it was a false alarm just now. The high-energy reaction in the apostle's body disappeared.]"

That was not a false alarm, Shinji Ikari raised his hand to draw the card.

Elemental Hero·Bubble Man]

He hesitated without trying to summon it.

When the distance is too far to engage in close combat, the positron cannon is the only means of attack. If you continue to summon monsters and let it send out thunderballs aimed at new monsters, causing the positron cannon to be destroyed, it will be troublesome.

"Kakaka——]"

A minute later, the red dragon raised its head and was pressed down by the electric light gun.

The next minute, it was repeated again, but this time the equipment magic card of the electric light gun exploded and disappeared.

The two newly drawn cards by Shinji Ikari are:

Elemental Hero·Clayman]

Heroes United: When there is a 'hero' on the field, summon two other 'heroes' from the hand. 】

It seems... there is no way to defeat the enemy. Should they all be called out to fight in a group? What to do if you are attacked by a thunderball?

"Shinji-kun! The positron cannon is fully charged and can be fired after confirming the aim!]"

In short, let's fire a shot first to test the effect.

Jiao——

While the positron cannon on the No. 1 machine fired a blue beam of light, the red dragon also raised its head and sprayed out blazing white dragon breath.

The two sides met halfway, struggled with each other for a while, and then both went in unrelated directions.

The lightning thrown by Electro, who launched the attack simultaneously, also deflected, exploding little bits of smoke around the red dragon.

However, this behavior is not useless. After the smoke dissipated, the card data of the red dragon that originally only had an image appeared.

■■■■'s ■■■, attack: 7000, defense: 7000]

For each card in hand, attack and defense increase by 1000 points. 】

It's also waiting to draw a card? !

"The positron cannon is urgently charged, and there are 50 seconds left to fire again!]"

"Zero! Defend!]"

Boom, boom, boom, Unit Zero quickly walked to the defensive position in front of Unit 1's sniper position and set up a shield, holding his shield.

"Ka——" The red dragon's breath struck again, but was completely blocked by Unit Zero.

Ayanami Rei doesn't have her own card system, so naturally she can't see the dragon's breath. What she actually endured was the continuous apostle beam that almost burned through Unit-1. Under the burning of the beam, the "Millennium Shield" It is melting at a speed visible to the naked eye. When it is completely destroyed, what is standing in front of it is the at force field of Unit Zero and Unit Zero itself.

Due to the existence of the emergency ejection system, Ayanami Rei will be fine, but Unit Zero may be sacrificed...

Shinji Ikari was anxiously waiting for the positron cannon to recharge and draw cards, when an illusion suddenly appeared in front of him again.

The girl with short silver-blue hair and long horns on her forehead was wearing a set of pitch-black armor and holding a giant shield to block the dragon's breath. The white light of the dragon's breath became stronger and stronger, and the shield gradually collapsed, but she showed no intention of flinching. She just turned her head slightly to look at herself, and the corners of her eyes and mouth were slightly curved, causing a slight smile to appear on her expressionless face.

asshole! God is amazing! ? 7000 attacks is amazing! ?

Shinji Ikari ignored the interval between card draws, raised his hand to hold down the card pile, and then just pulled a card from it.

■■■ of ■■■: Attack:? defense:? 】

The card name, card face and description that were originally blurry suddenly became clear under Shinji Ikari's glare.

Winged Dragon of the Sun God: Attack:? defense:? 】

Three monsters need to be released to summon. 】

When summoned successfully, the health and field strength can be reduced to 100, and the attack and defense are equal to the reduced values. 】

"Union of Heroes" summons "Bubble Man" and "Clayman", frees the three to summon "Winged Dragon of the Sun God", reduces the AT force field to 100, increases the attack of "Winged Dragon of the Sun God" to 7900, and then——

"I don't know why! But the positron cannon was charged in advance!]"

"Shinji!]"

Disappear! Damn dragon!

Shinji Ikari pulled the trigger hard.

In his eyes, the moment the positron cannon was activated, a huge Fire Bird phantom flew out from the No. 1 fuselage, and directly engulfed the red dragon regardless of the distance.

Almost at the same time, the "Duel Disk" on his left arm disappeared.

"Well..." Shinji Ikari felt that his consciousness was about to disappear, so he spent his last effort to command Unit 1 to catch Unit 0, which had a large amount of front armor melted and was crumbling.

Suddenly, Ayanami Rei's communication came in again. Although she looked a little embarrassed, she didn't seem to be hurt.

"Shinji-kun?"

"...Am I handsome?" Shinji Ikari didn't even have the energy to think of a more suitable line.

"Yes," Rei Ayanami replied, "you are a good person."

I shouldn't have taught in the first place!

The moment before Shinji Ikari lost consciousness, he seemed to see Rei Ayanami showing a subtle smile that was almost the same as in the illusion.
