The road to completion starts from the Gate of Truth

"Sir, what should we do?" A subordinate next to him turned his head and asked in despair.

"...immediately close all the isolation doors in the 'Border Prison', and then...start the self-destruction procedure of Unit 5!" After hesitating for two seconds, the top leader of the base made such a decision.

"...Yes!" The subordinate also hesitated for half a second, but finally accepted the order - although I feel sorry for the child Makiha, in order to stop the intruder, all sacrifices are acceptable! However... "No, no! The self-destruct command was rejected by Unit 5!" The subordinate who was operating in front of the computer gave the worst news.

"What?!" The look of shock on the old white man's face became more intense. The unexpected events that happened one after another had already made him a little confused.

"What the hell...is going on?!" ... Perhaps only Makiha sitting in Unit 5 can answer the old man's question - if she can still connect to the communication with the base.

In fact, she had just watched as Unit 5 activated the self-destruct command under the control of the command post, but it was overridden by another command in the next moment, and then locked the use of all electrical signal-controlled instruments in the unit. , causing her to completely lose control of EVA Unit 5.

Of course, thanks to this, she finally recovered from the severe phantom pain of her broken arms and legs, and no longer had to endure that torture.

"Ha——! It's really overwhelmingly powerful..." As the person involved, Makiha knew very well that the person who had just prevented Unit 5 from self-destructing was none other than the one who cut her (Unit 5) into a human stick. Fang Yuan.

This made her curious about the changing power characteristics of this special humanoid apostle, but she was also deeply grateful - fortunately, the self-destruction was prevented, otherwise she would never have survived! After all, this battlefield is underground! The emergency escape device carried on EVA No. 5 is a rocket-propelled disposable drone that can only be used on the open surface. If it is forcibly used underground... Not to mention that the insertion bolt was dragged by the rocket and crashed into the thick rock. How miserable the death of the pilot inside the wall would be. Even if she was lucky enough to successfully activate the emergency escape device and was not killed alive, she would not be able to escape the self-destruction range of Unit 5! Thinking about it this way, Shinobu was originally full of resentment towards the intruder who hacked him (referring to Unit 5), but now he feels a hint of gratitude... What a complicated and unspeakable emotion! ... Fang Yuan didn't care what the little girl pilot's feelings were towards him. He just threw Unit 5 aside, which had lost all power of resistance, and let the other party fend for itself. He continued to move toward Moving deeper into this so-called "border prison", towards the goal of his operation.

At this moment, there is no longer any obstacle between him and the third apostle! ……More than half an hour later, accompanied by the violent distortion of the space and the A.T. force field readings that were about to explode, Fang Yuan left with the third apostle who was still in a sealed state.

However, while the surviving humans in this NERV base were busy celebrating and watching the endgame, they did not realize that a person quietly left the base at this time.

In a transport plane that took off secretly, Ryouji Kaji, who was wearing a flight uniform, was stroking the suitcase in his hand with a complex expression on his face, and said to himself: "What a surprise! I'm ready to get this thing. I wanted to release the third apostle, but I didn’t expect that something like this would happen before I could take action..." He shook his head. As a multi-faceted spy, the man was filled with emotion. The plan really couldn’t keep up with the changes. ... Fortunately, this change is indeed a good thing for him, and it saves him a lot of trouble! "However, is this humanoid apostle actually so strong... If the opponent turns his target to the Third New Tokyo City, I wonder if the man from Ikari Gendo can guard against it?" Thinking back to what he learned recently. Regarding the information about Japan's NERV headquarters, Kaji Ryoji came up with a very pessimistic answer.

——After all, although there are two EVAs at the Japanese NERV headquarters, there is only the first qualified person as the driver. The third qualified person who was originally scheduled to drive the No. 1 unit actually gave up the driver's seat some time ago. identity, this makes the defense force of the Third New Tokyo City, which is already the main target of the apostles' attacks, increasingly inadequate.

"Unless that boy can also stand on the side of us humans... However, he has become that kind of existence, is he really a human being?" Shinji Ikari used his human body to fight against the seventh apostle (actually the sixth apostle) Although it is a secret among ordinary people and even high-level governments of various countries, it is not an unknowable secret for Kaji Ryoji, who can obtain a lot of confidential information within NERV.

After watching the battle video, he thought that the only person who could confront Fang Yuan, the "humanoid apostle", was Shinji Ikari, the former EVA pilot.

Well, he doesn't know yet that the big devil in his mind has reached an agreement with the expected savior and is standing in the same trench... "Ah, ah, it's really... tragic!" Finally getting her mind off Unit 5, which had been chopped into a human stick, the girl named Makiha took off the full-coverage eyepiece from her head and sighed while looking at the ruins of the battlefield where the dead and wounded lay.

Although she doesn't like the atmosphere in this NERV branch and doesn't have a good impression of these adults, seeing so many people she may have met once or twice turned into unrecognizable corpses makes her somewhat rebellious in nature. The girl couldn't help but clasped her hands together and bowed in worship.

"I hope you can rest in peace in heaven..." She said this, but in the girl's mind, she thought that these rebels who had violated "divine will" and opposed "angels" might not be able to go to heaven after death. We can only go down to the deepest hell... Bang——" The optimistic girl clapped her hands and immediately regained her mood after paying homage to the deceased. She subconsciously smoothed her somewhat messy hair around her forehead with one hand, which was obscured by her glasses. A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes: "Well! It just so happens that no one is taking care of me now, so I'm going to try the so-called 'apostle virus'! I really don't know what it feels like to release A.T. Field in the physical body. ...?" The second update is over.

I went out to do errands during the day today and was tired all day long, so I will only update this much for the time being.

')505'\u003eChapter 504 Nebuchadnezzar's Key \u0026 The New Apostle's Attack

Japan, Third New Tokyo City, NERV headquarters.

Ikari Gendo, who still had the same gloomy look, was looking at an open suitcase in front of him, staring at what was contained in the box, which looked like a miniature human skeleton specimen.

"The signpost that connects gods and souls, the key to Nebuchadnezzar that opens the door to the completion of mankind, is finally in hand!" However, such a harvest should have made Ikari Gendo feel deeply that his plan has taken another step forward. He was delighted, but at this moment, he only felt heavy confusion and deep pressure! "However, the price was that the Bethany base was captured, the third apostle was taken away, and the No. 5 machine lost its combat capability... Although this does not conflict with my plan, the humanoid apostle actually targeted the third apostle. Apostle, what is the purpose of this guy?" At this time, even Ikari Yuantang himself had doubts about the definition of "humanoid apostle". The guy who targeted the apostle several times was really Apostle? If it were before, he would not have any doubts about this.

But after witnessing his son Shinji Ikari's great power, he finally understood that a simple human being could possess such terrifying power! Thinking about it this way, maybe the "humanoid apostle" is not a real apostle, but like Shinji Ikari, he mutated due to being infected with the apostle virus... to be more precise, is he an "evolved" human being? "No, maybe, even this 'apostle virus' is in the same situation..." Ikari Yuantang thought of the apostle virus that also behaved differently. Maybe it was not a real apostle, but some existence. An existence artificially created for some other purpose! This is not a conjecture created by Ikari Gendo out of thin air, but a conclusion reached by scientists led by Ritsuko Akagi after long-term research - after all, although these apostle viruses have magical effects that can be called mythical, their true structure The essence is not so secret that it cannot be studied.

For scientists who can even put Adam and Lilith on the dissecting table and have even discovered the existence of the soul through scientific means, it is not easy to find traces of suspected human design and manufacture from the apostle virus, but it is actually Nothing is too difficult or impossible.

"Could it be said that besides SEELE, there are other organizations in the world that are also studying the power of apostles? But this kind of technology can be developed under the nose of SEELE. Could it be that it is also a technology passed down from ancient times? A secret society? But even so, it is impossible that there is no relevant information at all..." Ikari Yuantang thought, unaware that although his thinking was very problematic, it was incredibly close to the truth to a certain extent! But what is different from what he guessed is that although the so-called "other organization" does exist, there is only one member - well, one and a half if you include [ether].

Moreover, this "organization" has only existed for more than a month, which is the time since Fang Yuan came to this world until now.

... Not to mention the hesitation and confusion in Ikari Yuantang's heart over there, as time goes by, the plot of this world, although it has been fragmented, but still tenaciously maintains a certain inertia, has finally reached a certain turning point.

On this day, another apostle came across the ocean and faced the intensive artillery fire and missile bombardment of the United Nations forces, approaching the third New Tokyo City in a straight line.

The appearance of this apostle is also very "unique". Countless black angular geometric bodies constitute its body. The entire body is like a super-large "door", but there is an additional pendulum-like hanging hammer in the middle. At the top is a "head" like a clock dial pointer.

Every time it takes a step forward, the sea surface that its sharp "feet" touches is instantly frozen. When it launches an attack, under the operation of the A.T. force field, the blood-red seawater turns into a series of sharp-pointed blood-red crosses, nailing the warships that block its way to the top of the cross. This attack method looks very sacred and terrifying.

However, such an apostle who appeared so gloriously is one of the most powerful candidates for the "weakest apostle". Its weakness is comparable to the fifth apostle that Fang Yuan took away before. They are all small characters that can be easily dealt with by a single EVA.

However, for the Japanese NERV headquarters, no matter how weak the apostle is, it is still an apostle. Except for EVA and black technology such as positron cannon, ordinary modern military technology can't deal with it at all.

Therefore, at this moment, the command post of NERV is as busy as ever, and everyone has put 120,000 points of energy into this upcoming war.

"How is Unit-00?"　　Misato Katsuragi turned to ask Ritsuko Akagi, with a hint of nervousness and uneasiness in her tone.

There is no way around it. Now that Shinji Ikari has left, Unit-00 driven by Rei Ayanami is the only reliable combat force available at their base.

But given that Unit-00 itself is only a primitive technology verification machine, its combat power is relatively weak among all EVA machines, and its previous actual combat record is also very unsatisfactory, so she can't help but be nervous.

"So far, it has been very stable, and the synchronization rate with Rei is above the standard line, so it can go into battle!"　　Ritsuko Akagi glanced at the tablet in her hand and gave such a reassuring answer.

"That's good... What about Unit-01?"　　When it comes to Unit-01, Misato Katsuragi's tone becomes more complicated.

"DUMMY SYSTEM has been initially perfected, but it still cannot be started without a driver. Unit-01 itself is rejecting the camouflage signal sent by the puppet system."

This is news that can't be any worse.

The Third New Tokyo City, which was originally the main target of the Angels, only had one most primitive technology verification EVA available for battle at this moment, and its overall combat power could be said to have been reduced to the freezing point.

At this moment, a staff member on the side muttered in a low voice: "... I wonder if Shinji-kun will show up this time... If he is, he will definitely defeat the Angels..." However, even if she spoke in such a low voice, Misato Katsuragi still heard it.

She immediately turned her head, staring at the subordinate with a pair of big eyes and a ferocious expression, and said: "Shinji-kun is Shinji-kun, we are us! Is our NERV so poor that we can't win the war with the Angels without the help of a young man?! Cheer up! Even if there is only one machine, we will definitely win!" ""Yes!""" With the boss speaking, the subordinates naturally did not dare to say anything more, and had to continue working with an even harder attitude.

')506'\u003eChapter 505 Head-grabbing \u0026 the incompetent rage of the ignored

At this moment, the voice of another subordinate came from behind:　　"Good news! The EVA No. 2 sent from Germany has arrived in Japanese airspace, and the other pilot has requested to immediately participate in the battle against the apostles!"　　"What?"　　Misato Katsuragi widened her eyes in surprise. At this moment, a huge flying wing transport plane appeared above the apostles, and flew over the battlefield accompanied by a group of fighters, and at this moment dropped something -　　It was... EVA! 　　At an altitude of several thousand meters, the EVA No. 2, most of its body was wrapped in the fairing, and it was dropped by the transport plane. With a few bangs, the explosive bolts on the fairing exploded. Driven by the airflow, the black fairing was split into two halves, and the EVA No. 2 equipped with airborne accessories jumped out of it! Swish - A giant crossbow adapted to the size of the EVA was launched immediately after, spinning in the sky towards Unit 2.

However... Clang - The crossbow was knocked away by the sudden attack.

It turned out that the apostle below also discovered the enemy above its head at this time, and its head like a dial immediately shot out countless black crossbow arrows, shooting at Unit 2 which was adjusting its posture in mid-air.

However, the pilot of Unit 2 was obviously a real combat expert. Even in the state of falling from a high altitude with nowhere to exert force, she still controlled Unit 2 to perfectly avoid all the attacks of the apostles, and even took back the crossbow that was knocked away during the gap between the apostles' attacks.

The next moment, a special arrow accelerated by the A.T. force field shot out from the giant crossbow, instantly piercing the apostle's raised head and hitting its exposed red "core".

In an instant, the apostle seemed to have been hit in the vitals, and the countless angular geometric bodies that made up its body suddenly collapsed.

"Amazing, it hit the core with one strike!" In the command post, a staff member couldn't help but sigh after seeing this scene.

However, as the combat commander, Misato Katsuragi still maintained a serious look: "No, this is bait!" Sure enough, before she finished speaking, the apostle who seemed to be completely disintegrated instantly reorganized his body, and was originally The huge ball hanging down as a pendulum was moved to the top, and the black camouflage on the surface faded away, turning into red - it turns out that this is the real core of the apostle! Unit No. 2, which was still maintaining a powerless gliding posture in the air, showed no intention of being deceived. The moment the apostle changed form, it immediately fired seven arrows in a row, and they hit the target with incredible accuracy. At the same point, in front of the A.T. force field barrier activated by the apostle, they formed a line from end to end! Seeing this, the pilot of Unit 2 did not shoot in vain anymore, but decisively abandoned the crossbow in his hand. At the same time, he controlled the unit into a ball and performed more than ten somersaults in a row, using this to accelerate and prepare for a kick. The heels were facing the crossbow arrows in a line.

Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding—— With the assistance of the A.T. force field, EVA Unit 2 pushed the last crossbow bolt to continuously break through all obstacles in front, instantly breaking through with a devastating momentum. He caught the apostle's A.T. force field and was about to kill him in the next moment.

Just then——Cang——! ! ! Click——! An extra layer of barriers appeared in front of the apostle. The last arrow that was supposed to penetrate the apostle's core was mounted on it, but it broke instantly like a fragile pencil.

However, Unit 2 did not give up. Unit 2, which still maintained its kicking posture, used the huge kinetic energy brought by a huge object like EVA falling from high altitude to kick the A.T. force field blocking the way, trying to Brute force shattered it.

However, what the pilot in Unit 2 didn't know was that the person standing in front of her at this time was not the original apostle, but another much more powerful existence! Bang——! The attack of Unit 2 could not even shake the thin layer of the A.T. force field. Only the huge impact force spread outward along the plane of the A.T. force field, bringing out waves that could shake people. The blast wave struck the sea diagonally, causing waves of blood.

At this time, the pilot of Unit 2, a Japanese-German mixed-race girl named Shikinami Asuka Langre, discovered that behind the A.T. force field, there was suddenly a very small-looking humanoid individual.

"This is... the humanoid apostle?" After the Bethany base was captured by Fang Yuan, Asuka, as a member of the European branch of NERV and an EVA pilot fighting at the forefront, naturally saw this extremely dangerous person. Information about the "humanoid apostle".

The moment she recognized the opponent's identity, the chill that arose from the bottom of her heart instantly made the girl's pupils shrink - after all, that was the one that could easily annihilate all the defenders of Bethany Base, and then defeat EVA Unit 5 in an instant. Terrible existence! But then the girl's unyielding nature dispelled all fear - so what if she defeated Unit 5? It was just an emergency aircraft that was temporarily pulled out for combat before it was completed. It was completely different from her No. 2 aircraft, which was fully equipped and most suitable for actual combat! "Go to hell!" Driven by strong thoughts, Unit 2's A.T. force field was fully opened, trying its best to neutralize the A.T. force field released by Fang Yuan, looking ready to annihilate him and the apostles behind him. momentum.

However, sometimes the gap in strength cannot be made up by momentum. Fang Yuan only slightly increased the power of the A.T. force field he turned on, and it completely offset the entire effort of Unit 2.

Immediately afterwards, he left behind the challenger who refused to admit defeat and turned his attention to the apostle below - he had just blocked the final blow of Unit 2, not to save it, but just to grab the spoils. That’s all.

"Although the ability is a bit weak, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat! We can't waste it!" With that said, Fang Yuan stretched out his hand, and the A.T. force field surged in his hand, but it did not become substantial. The defensive force field instead penetrated into the space structure, distorting the curvature of space and time around the apostle. Just like capturing the fourth apostle for the first time, the entire apostle was wrapped and compressed with a hyperspace bubble whose internal time was static. stand up.

Later, Fang Yuan once again used the same method to open a space wormhole, drilled into it with his new "trophies", and disappeared.

On the other side, Unit 2, which was very close at hand, or rather, Asuka inside Unit 2, could only struggle in vain with the A.T. force field that seemed to be broken with a single poke, and finally watched helplessly as I The apostle who was supposed to be killed by her was taken away right in front of her! However, what hurt Asuka the most was that from beginning to end, Fang Yuan did not raise his head to glance at Unit 2, as if he had completely ignored it.

"...You guy... remember this for me!!!" The girl who was so angry that she went berserk was just incapable and furious in the cockpit of the No. 2 machine... It was still the second update...')507' \u003eChapter 506: The first meeting full of gunpowder and the rift in the covenant

"Sure enough, the purpose of this 'humanoid apostle' is the other apostles!" In the NERV headquarters, Ikari Gendo said after watching the previous battle from beginning to end.

"The apostle of the Hunting Apostle... Or maybe he is not an apostle at all?" After witnessing the changes in Shinji Ikari, Deputy Commander Fuyue naturally noticed something was wrong and questioned the identity of Fang Yuan, the "humanoid apostle".

"No matter what the other party's identity is, he has already collected at least three apostles. This is a huge threat to us at NERV and to the entire human race!" Standing on his own side, Commander Ikari Yoshimasa Ci Yan made such an assertion, completely ignoring himself and SEELE behind him, which is the biggest threat to the survival of mankind.

... "Tch! That guy actually dares to steal my prey and ignore me! You must give him a good look next time you see me!" A slim figure, fair skin and blue eyes, with golden-red hair tied into two ponytails The girl was currently changing clothes in the dressing room, while she was muttering unhappily, her tone full of resentment.

——This is none other than the pilot who just got off the recovered Unit 2, a 14-year-old girl named Asuka.

And the reason why she was so upset was because she was really angry about what happened today—— She originally thought that her appearance today would be a gorgeous and majestic performance, but she didn't expect that things started out normally. But an inexplicable guy suddenly jumped out from behind and stole her part of the scene, and even put her on the show! Can you bear this? ! "Hmph! What's a 'humanoid apostle'? It must be a human being infected by the 'apostle virus' like the third qualified person who escaped! Do you look down on EVA pilots like me when you have power? Damn it ! You must show off to this bastard! !” The resentful girl changed into her indoor clothes and walked out of the dressing room angrily. Unexpectedly, a figure walked towards her and the two of them almost came face to face. hit.

"Tsk! Be careful! You almost knocked someone down, okay?!" Asuka, who was in a terrible mood, cursed before she could see the figure opposite her clearly.

"I'm sorry -" a soft yet clear voice came from the other side: "But this is not entirely my responsibility just now. Please also pay more attention when walking!" Hearing from the other side Asuka raised her head in shock and saw the figure in front of her clearly - it was a blue-haired girl wearing the same type of driving uniform as her but with a different color, so she immediately understood. the identity of the other party.

At this time, Asuka no longer pursued the issue of the collision while walking, but directly launched a personal attack full of gunpowder: "Humph! You are the pilot of Unit Zero who was chosen because of others' preference. Member, right? I didn’t see you move during the entire battle. Could it be that you were too frightened by the apostle to move?” “…” To Asuka’s obviously provocative words, the Sanwu girl Ayanami Rei did not give any response. , but just walked into the locker room from Asuka's side, closed the door, left the other person outside the door, and changed his clothes on his own.

Asuka: "...(╬￣Van￣)" The girl who was ignored again wanted to hit someone, but since the other person was a girl of the same gender as herself, and at the same time, she also considered that if she took the initiative to provoke, she would look very uneducated, so she I had no choice but to endure it, turned around and left with a stinky face, muttering in my mouth: "Huh! Are the pilots selected by NERV headquarters like this? They are either cowards who run away from battle, or they have a cold face. All the mouthless girls are all such weirdos!" It seems that the first meeting between the two EVA pilots did not go well... ...and as the "coward who ran away from the battle" in Asuka's mouth , but at this time, he was standing beside the previous battlefield, looking thoughtfully at the debris of warships floating in the bay.

"The seventh apostle has appeared. Although the ending is a little different from the previous one, it will not affect the other apostles. In other words, the eighth apostle will appear soon..." Recalling the one who fell from the sky, In essence, he was the apostle of a super-large bomb. It was the three of them EVA pilots who worked together (harmony) to intercept and kill it with the strength of three people.

But this time, because of his departure, the number of EVA available in Japan has been directly reduced to two, and it is very likely to fail when fighting against this apostle! The consequence of the failure of the mission is that the entire Third New Tokyo City and its NERV headquarters, as well as everyone he knows well, will be completely destroyed! After a long time, Shinji Ikari sighed: "Sure enough, I still have to take action!" After reaching an agreement with Fang Yuan not to interfere with each other, Shinji Ikari has been paying attention to the movements of the apostles, and is ready at any time when NERV cannot resist. Take action to eliminate the apostles.

However, the apostle just like this is considered the weakest among all the apostles. Any EVA can kill it one-on-one. Shinji Ikari thinks that he has no need to take action.

As a result, I didn't expect that at the last moment, Fang Yuan actually jumped out and snatched the head... "We cannot let him hunt all the apostles! Especially the eighth apostle who will appear next must not fall into the hands of the 'traveler'!" Shinji Ikari said to himself.

He had very limited trust in Fang Yuan, the mysterious "traveler". Although both sides said that they would rely on their own abilities in hunting apostles, Shinji Ikari did not intend to let Fang Yuan get too many powerful apostles.

Well, it's okay for a weak apostle like the Seventh Apostle (the Eighth Apostle according to the NERV standard of this world), and it doesn't matter if he is a step slower and gives way to the other party, but the next Eighth Apostle is one of the most destructive apostles, so he must not give it up! 　　…　　"So that's it, it's not by relying on low temperature to condense water into ice, but by using the power of the A.T. force field to suppress the molecular atomic vibration of matter within a certain range, so as to create the appearance of 'freezing'..."　　Fang Yuan, who was dissecting the newly acquired apostle in the underground base, suddenly raised his head and looked in a certain direction.

Although he should not be able to see anything underground, in fact, his spirit is connected to the "Apostle Virus Network". With the help of countless apostle viruses spread throughout the earth's atmosphere, he can almost sense everything on the earth.

Therefore, when Shinji Ikari mentioned something related to him, Fang Yuan naturally heard it.

In response, he just curled his lips in disdain: "... Humph! The Eighth Angel? I might not even want it if you give it to me!" In Fang Yuan's view, scientific researchers do not simply choose research materials based on the destructive power, but on the knowledge and truth contained in the research materials! That big bomber who has no other means except self-destruction is not worth Fang Yuan's personal effort.

Besides, when it comes to making explosives (harmony), humans who are talented in destruction and self-destruction are much more professional than the apostles. Does Fang Yuan need to learn from the apostles? ')508'\u003eChapter 507 Human Rocket·Shinji Ikari

Sure enough, not long after, the Eighth Angel that Fang Yuan disliked, or the Ninth Angel according to NERV's standards, finally appeared! 　　"Three minutes ago, the Mauna Kea Observatory has captured the target and is currently calculating its orbit!" The NERV headquarters in the basement of the Third New Tokyo City was busy again.

"The third observation satellite has captured the target image through the optical lens and output the image at the maximum telescopic distance!" As the intelligence officer prompted, a dark sphere with eye-shaped patterns on the surface appeared on the big screen.

"Hiss~~""" There was a gasp in the crowd, and everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them.

"A.T.Field is so strong that it can even distort light... It's terrible!" Misato Katsuragi looked at the screen and sighed with a serious expression.

"So, where do you predict it will fall?" She asked, but then she gave a bitter smile and gave her answer: "... Needless to say, it must be here!" Sure enough, the next second, the analyst next to her gave the answer: "After MAGI's recalculation, the probability of hitting the headquarters is 99.9999%!" "Tsk!" Misato Katsuragi gritted her teeth and couldn't help but "tsk".

While the people at NERV headquarters were analyzing the enemy's situation, the battle above the earth's orbit had already begun.

Several armed satellites that happened to be near the Apostle's descending orbit finally woke up from a long standby, and dozens of aerial bombs equipped with N2 warheads were launched from the launch box, pouring a large amount of "art" towards the Apostle in front.

However... "No! N2 aerial bombs have no effect at all! The trajectory cannot be corrected!" Even if dozens of N2 bombs with power comparable to nuclear bombs exploded on one side of the Apostle, the shock wave generated by them could not shake the Apostle's falling trajectory at all.

- In the case of not being able to penetrate the A.T. force field, the external force impact will only spread to the plane perpendicular to the attack direction under the defense of the A.T. force field, but will not cause any impact on the objects behind it.

And the Eighth Apostle, who has an A.T. force field that can distort light, is obviously not a defense that can be broken by some N2 bombs.

"The A.T.Field is concentrated at one end of the target, and the huge kinetic energy when it falls will also be added to it..." "The apostle itself is equivalent to a big bomb!" "The explosion scale of the direct bombardment is predicted to be 420,000 units in diameter and minus 15,000 units in the horizontal plane!" "The Third New Tokyo City will be completely evaporated, not to mention the underground space, and the central large vertical trench will be completely exposed!" Bad news came one after another, but Misato Katsuragi still did not despair, but calmly asked another question: "What about Commander Ikari?" "Due to the influence of the apostle, the radio wave state in the upper atmosphere is very unstable, and we can't get in touch now!" Well, because of the inertia of the plot, or that Ikari Gendo's itinerary was arranged like this, when this apostle attacked, he was taking a spaceship with Deputy Commander Fuyutsuki to the moon to check the construction of Unit 6, and has not yet returned to the ground.

"... In other words, I can only rely on my personal judgment here..." In this regard, Misato Katsuragi suddenly felt that the pressure on her shoulders was really as big as a mountain.

After a few seconds of silence, she straightened up and issued an order: "Send a notice to the Japanese government and ministries, and issue Special Declaration D-17 with NERV's authority. All citizens within a radius of 120 kilometers will immediately begin to evacuate!" "No problem!" A subordinate immediately replied: "Government officials have already taken the lead in evacuating!" Well, as this person said, at this time, there were already dense transport helicopters over the Third New Tokyo City, carrying all the dignitaries and staff of the entire government to evacuate to a safe area.

On the ground, both roads and railways were filled with countless traffic, and everyone was scrambling to escape outside the Third New Tokyo City.

Even at the seaside, countless warships temporarily acted as transport ships, transporting buses full of people from the sea.

Moreover, although it looked very busy and crowded, the entire evacuation process was incredibly smooth, as if everyone had already practiced it countless times! ——No, it's not "seemingly". After all, those who dare to live in this disaster-ridden Third New Tokyo City have already experienced many similar events. Every time an apostle attacks, they basically have to deal with the same set of things. It's not surprising that they can have such efficiency.

In addition, it's hard to say about other places in this world, but the efficiency of government departments in Japan on key matters is really high and has not changed. Don't you see, in the "Operation Yashima Plan" that was blown away by Fang Yuan's butterfly wings, NERV concentrated all the electricity in Japan within a few hours to supply the launch energy of the experimental positron cannon! As for whether there will be people who are unwilling to evacuate by relying on their own strength during this period of awakening "superpowers" among the whole people... Well, I think too much! Even if most people in this world have been infected with the apostle virus, and a small half of them have gradually stimulated A.T. force fields of varying strengths, even the most immature people will not think that this can only defend against the defense of police bullets, but can defend against the huge damage caused by meteorites falling from the sky.

Therefore, regardless of whether the citizens had activated their "superpowers" or not, they all evacuated the city as quickly as ordinary people. No one even wanted to use their "superpowers" to forcibly snatch the evacuation quota or cause any trouble.

Or there were, but they were quelled in the shortest time - after all, there were actually quite a few police and military personnel who had awakened the A.T. force field! 　　In short, with such a high-efficiency evacuation, the entire New Tokyo City was completely cleared in just a few hours. Except for the combat sequence personnel of NERV headquarters, everyone had left the city... 　　No, not everyone! 　　When all the high-rise buildings in the entire Third New Tokyo City were stored underground and the surface had been converted into a counterattack position, a figure appeared here.

This was no one else, but Shinji Ikari, who had given up his identity as an EVA driver but fought against the apostles as a human being, and was scorned by Asuka as a "coward"! 　　And his appearance naturally could not escape NERV's monitoring system.

"Shinji-kun?" Seeing the figure of this young man on the big screen, Katsuragi Misato was a little surprised, but then she felt relieved - Sure enough, when NERV encountered a real strong enemy, he still stood up without hesitation... "What does he want to do?" Someone asked.

"Is there any need to say it? Of course, he is going to fight the apostles!" "Fight the apostles... But the target is in the upper atmosphere close to outer space, right? Ikari Shinji-kun is just a human, how can he fight?" "Have you forgotten the high-energy particle cannon he used last time? With that level of artillery fire, it should be able to penetrate the target's A.T.Field!" "No, the space around the target is too distorted. Even if you use a high-energy particle cannon for sniping, it may not be able to penetrate that level of A.T.Field, right?" A group of people began to discuss, but when Ikari Shinji in the picture began to move, they realized how wrong their previous guesses were.

"Fly, fly up?" Someone exclaimed.

"He had already flown when he appeared last time, right? What's so surprising about that!" "No! This is different! Last time he was just suspended in the air, but now he's flying like a rocket!" Yes, on the big screen, Shinji Ikari, who was standing alone in an uninhabited city, looked up at the sky, his eyes fixed on a target that theoretically could not be seen by the naked eye.

The next moment, clearly visible polygonal force fields suddenly burst out from his feet, shoulders, and palms, stacked in a cone and radiating downward. The thrust generated out of thin air immediately pushed his body to fly high into the sky like a rocket.

——Having experienced countless reincarnations, he certainly knew how difficult this time's apostle was, so he did not choose to catch him on the ground, but planned to fly to the edge of the atmosphere himself and kill the target directly in the initial stage! Second update completed')509'\u003eChapter 508 A clean and tidy kill

At an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, a red light flashed by.

No, look carefully, this is not a light spot, but a human being flying to such a height in the flesh! The boy named Ikari Shinji maintained a flying posture like Iron Man, with a conical layered A.T. force field projected behind him, providing him with a powerful power far beyond any chemical fuel engine.

In front of him was a pyramid-shaped force field shield, also composed of A.T. force field, and the streamlined surface pushed away the air that Shinji Ikari touched in the direction of his flight.
