Chapter 177 It Doesn’t Matter, I Will Take Action

"MAGI confirms the target, about 25,000 meters from the ground!" Ritsuko Akagi said in the public channel: "The target can only be calculated by optical observation, so MGAI can only provide auxiliary aiming at about 10,000 meters."

The EVA was inserted into the plug. Asuka, Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayanami all saw the picture transmitted by the drone. Ian looked up and saw the light and shadow falling in the sky.

He heard the roar of the Sky Angel breaking the sound barrier. The AT force field of the Sky Angel rubbed against the atmosphere to produce a red flame tail. The creature fell like a meteor with huge kinetic energy. Looking up, you can see the clouds it broke through.

"It really came here." Asuka didn't expect that the Sky Angel really fell towards this hill as Ian said.

It fell very fast, and the pilots inside the EVA couldn't feel it, but the disturbed airflow had already pressed on Ian's face. His hair and hem moved with the wind, and a shadow enveloped him and the S2 mechanism.

"Asuka, please." Ian spoke through the headset.

"Damn it, don't die!" Asuka controlled Unit 2 and held Ian and the S2 mechanism in her hands.

Unit 01 and Unit 00 also broke free from the cable and quickly ran towards the location where the apostle fell. The five-minute backup power was enough to deal with the apostle this time. The guy's posture could be observed with the naked eye, which meant that it would fall to the ground soon.

Shinji's heart was full of faith, and Unit 01 jumped high, crossing the telephone poles and the road.

"I won't run away again!"

Only he can drive Unit 01, this is something only he can do.

Only he can use this power to protect everyone!

"Unit 01's synchronization rate has reached 93.2%, breaking a new record again." Ritsuko Akagi stared at the data on the screen and sighed.

"I have never been so motivated when I was in command." Misato's tone was sour.

She sighed and realized that she had never broken through the inner barrier of the fourteen-year-old boy.

This is a matter of course. She herself has never opened her heart to Shinji. There has always been a sense of strangeness between her and the child. Although they live in the same place, both sides are just respectful to each other and continue every day according to the "atmosphere".

"Ritsuko, maybe EVA pilots need a psychologist instead of a commander." Misato said with a hint of sadness.

"Maybe." Ritsuko didn't have time to chat with Misato. She quickly tapped the keyboard and spoke in the public channel: "Here, Asuka, the target correction data is sent to you!"

"Okay!" Asuka received assistance from the supercomputer MAGI, which will assist her in trajectory correction.

At this time, Unit-01 had arrived at the scene one step ahead of Unit-00, and Ian was also ready with the help of the crystallization of the S2 mechanism.

"Okay, Asuka, act according to the plan." Ian was calm.

He connected with the Dirac Sea through the S2 mechanism. The energy of the apostles and the energy of the S2 mechanism all came from that negative universe.

Asuka gritted her teeth. It was just a matter of a moment. She hesitated. Even though she had discussed the battle plan more than 20 hours in advance and had communicated with Ian many times, she still hesitated.

This time it was not just a paper war. Being in the shadow of the Sky Angel, she could feel the oppression brought by the Tenth Angel more than anyone else.

That behemoth began to accelerate from the satellite orbit in space and descended like a messenger of destruction.

Should he be left alone to face such a terrifying thing?

She hesitated. She was afraid that after throwing Ian out, she would see him being crushed by the Sky Angel.

"Believe me." Ian noticed Asuka's hesitation.

"Damn it!" Asuka knew that this was not the time to be nagging. If she didn't do something, the Sky Angel would come over!

If the Sky Angel couldn't be intercepted in mid-air, the entire Third Tokyo City would be destroyed!

She still manipulated Unit 2 to throw Ian out. The throwing action was like a baseball player, but she regretted it the next moment.

She felt that she shouldn't pin her hopes on others.

Asuka Langley, the best EVA pilot, was destined to fight alone.

Relying on others was not her style.

But regretting now would be useless, so she had to do her own thing.

"AT force field fully activated!"

Unit 02 first erupted a powerful AT force field to prepare for the shock wave brought by the Sky Angel.

"AT force field fully activated!"

"AT force field fully activated!"

Unit 01 and Unit 02, which had just arrived, followed closely behind. The EVA force field shook the trees on the hill and the ground beneath their feet collapsed.

In the sky, Ian carried the S2 mechanism and crashed into the Sky Angel.

In the command room, MAGI issued a piercing alarm.

The red light flashed, and MAGI detected a threat that was enough to destroy the base, but it was not the Sky Angel, which had been under its surveillance earlier.

"This energy reaction, did he wrap up the Sky Angel with the AT force field? How is it possible!" Ritsuko Akagi stared blankly at the picture monitored by MAGI.

She inherited her mother's research and devoted almost her entire life to "Plan E".

However, she could not explain what was happening at the moment, and she could not understand what kind of power that man held.

On the screen, the brilliant crystal tree spread in an instant, covering the entire sky.

The sixth apostle, the seventh apostle, and the ninth apostle.

You can see the crystal sculptures of the three apostles breaking free, shining brightly in the sun, like perfect works of art.

The S2 mechanism is not a mechanism that provides energy. Its real energy comes from the Dirac Sea, and it does not produce energy itself.

The S2 mechanism is equivalent to a faucet, connected to the endless sea.

Ian has long understood the nature of the S2 mechanism. He is directly connected to the weird worm dormant in the negative universe, so he can make the faucet that could only flow out a trickle release a larger flow of water!

At this moment, he obtained nearly infinite energy and directly reproduced the force field of the three apostles.

The crystals grew and spread, and in an instant, they completely wrapped up the Sky Angel.

He withstood the direct impact of the Sky Angel, and the crystal inside shattered, and then regenerated, repeating the process of destruction and rebirth, and exhausted the kinetic energy brought by the Sky Angel.

From the time he obtained the S2 mechanism, it was impossible for a single apostle to fight him head-on.

Of course, Akagi Ritsuko and others could not see such subtle things.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. The sea of ​​crystals covering the sky wrapped the Sky Angel, and then shattered under the impact of the Sky Angel. The fragments fluttered, shining like star fragments, and fell to the ground.

The attack of the Sky Angel was resolved, and it seemed to turn into a soft lump of mud and slide down from the top of the EVA.

"You are lying, can you even do such a thing?" Asuka looked at the flying light.

This scene was beautiful and dreamy, as if she was not on the battlefield, but in a beautiful dream.

Ayanami Rei was also fascinated by the picture in front of her. This visual experience was unique, and she realized the true meaning of the word "beauty".

Only Shinji's attention was still focused on the apostle.

The soft Sky Angel fell down, and even its AT position was neutralized. It now had no power to resist.

Shinji pushed the joystick, and Unit-01 took out the high-vibration particle knife and inserted it into the eyeball of the Sky Angel, which was the core of the Sky Angel.

The core was destroyed, and the energy inside the Sky Angel was disordered. Its body surface showed irregular ups and downs, bubbling like boiling water, and then it was smashed into pieces in the unstable energy wave.

The Tenth Angel, annihilated!

Only then did Shinji have the energy to watch this mirage-like light rain.

The S2 mechanism fell to the ground, camouflaged as a small music angel, and stood there.

Shinji saw a hang glider-like thing passing through the sky. It was Ian. Ian waved to them in the sky, riding the wind alone, sliding freely into the distance.

"What's the big deal? Miss Ben is so worried about him, but he's having so much fun!" Asuka made a face.

"Isn't this great?" Shinji's heart was relieved: "I want to experience it if I have a chance, the feeling of riding a hang glider."

"Some people are afraid of even driving an EVA. It's so high, they'll probably be scared to pee." Asuka teased.

"No way!" Shinji blushed.

The tense atmosphere eased, and Tokyo-3 spent another peaceful day.

SEELE, the seat of souls.

The image of the apostle attack in Tokyo-3 was transferred here.

The old people have various means to obtain information from NERV headquarters. SEELE's influence is spread all over the world. They are a secret society that has existed since ancient times. The founder of SEELE picked up the Dead Sea Scrolls and obtained "divine revelation" from the huge stone slab. In the era of using torches and stone tools, they led mankind to civilization.

"The tenth messenger has also completed his mission." Keel said faintly: "There are seven messengers left, and the plan must be accelerated."

"The last messenger is ready."

An old man called up an image.

It was a closed laboratory. There was a culture tank in the experiment. The light yellow LCL was surging around the person in the culture tank.

"The artificial apostle made with Adam's soul is also the last apostle. His name is the Angel of Freedom."

"It's not time for him to wake up yet." Speaker Keel said.

"Then wait for the time of judgment." The old man's low voice echoed in the conference room.

Ian flew over the Third Tokyo City on a hang glider.

The towering buildings and ancient earthen houses were in full view. Those earthen houses were where people lived before the second impact. They are still preserved and have not been demolished.

The new and the old exist at the same time in his eyes.

All the people here have been evacuated, leaving only the deserted silence, as if the world is like this.

Ymir sat on the glider and looked down with him. The wind blew through his hair. He enjoyed the feeling of flying, which made him feel free.

Soon after, he glided to the ground, and the crystal fragments he created turned into white mist and disappeared.

They were originally elements of the Dirac Sea. They appeared in the positive universe as strange worms, and now they returned to their original place.

On the same day, the government canceled the D-17 alarm at 11:24 a.m., and the evacuated citizens were able to return to their original places of residence.

Amid the honking of cars, citizens returned to their homes.

Shinji also returned to the apartment and returned to his room.

The furnishings in the room remained the same as a month ago. He left here when he went to Asama Mountain to fight the Eighth Apostle. Because he was on a business trip, he closed the doors and windows. The room looked tidy and dust-free. .

"Welcome back, Shinji." Misato said to Shinji.

"Well, I'm back." Shinji smiled.

That night, they had dinner together in the apartment, still having sukiyaki, and Shinji was responsible for preparing the ingredients.

The difference is that this time Rei Ayanami is also there.

At night, Ian met Lu Mingfei in his dream.

Three months have passed since he connected with the weird bug. He has become very proficient at it and knows more and more how to use "plug-ins".

"Thanks to you, we also successfully defeated the Tenth Apostle." Ian said.

"It's not in vain that I argued with the master of Tieba for several days and found out the specific location where the Sky Angel fell." Lu Mingfei looked proud, but then he started to sigh again: "It would be great if I could also travel through the world. , whoever likes to read this crappy book will read it.”

"I remember you are about to take the college entrance examination. Can you pass the undergraduate examination?" Ian had no idea about the college entrance examination. He had hardly been in school in his previous life and had been treating illnesses in the hospital bed.

"One book is a little overdue, so my aunt wants me to sign up for a school in the United States and become an international student." Lu Mingfei said with a bitter face: "I have applied to several schools, but none of them have passed. In fact, my aunt just wants me to go to a school in the United States and become an international student." Tantanlu, she wants her son to study abroad and use me as a guinea pig."

"Reading is not the only way out." Ian comforted: "Actually, I haven't read any books."

"Brother, how can we be the same? I've been really depressed lately. It's already April, and I can't wait to see what's going on." Lu Mingfei felt so miserable that he couldn't tell.

"Is the college entrance examination so difficult?" Ian rubbed his chin.

"That's right, you don't know if you haven't read the book." Lu Mingfei wanted to vomit, but then he thought about it, the man in front of him was as ruthless as the apostle. This trouble for him, isn't it the same as that of Mao Yuyu? ?

Thinking of this, he was speechless.

"Oh, forget it." Lu Mingfei waved his hand: "When you reach my age, you will understand."

He and Ian talked about his experience of worshiping the masters in Tieba. Ian was very happy to listen to his nonsense. He also summarized a few questions and gave Lu Mingfei time to discuss with the masters of Tieba.

After all, one person's wisdom is limited after all. It is still necessary to gather the wisdom of the masses. The masters are among the masses.

The popularity of "Dragon" was due to the fact that many single volumes were uploaded to the class when I was studying. After leaving school, it is basically impossible to come into contact with this work, and it is a novel itself, unlike anime, which can be played by clicking on it, so the design The protagonist who is supposed to be sickly has not read "Dragon". He doesn't even read the novel very much.
