Chapter 126

Chapter 126

Although most of the high temperature generated by the friction with the air was converted into mechanical fluctuations by the A.T. force field and transmitted to the direction behind Shinji Ikari, becoming an additional driving force for further forward propulsion, the remaining part still caused the atmosphere along the way to heat up and stimulate red flames.

If Shinji Ikari had an airspeed meter, he would know that his current speed had reached at least Mach 5, which was faster than most aircraft in the world today.

However, in Shinji Ikari's opinion, his speed was still too slow! 　　In fact, he was particularly envious of the "traveler" of unknown origin at this time. If he could tear open space and create space wormholes like Fang Yuan, he would not need to fly high in such a troublesome way, and could directly open a space wormhole to the side of the apostle! 　　It's a pity that although he was also a user of the A.T. force field and Fang Yuan himself had performed it several times in front of him, Shinji Ikari still couldn't learn this kind of high-end movement technique all at once.

Yes, he does have the most powerful soul in the world. After obtaining the S2 mechanism, he is also one of the strongest contenders for the position of the strongest in the world just by the strength of the A.T. force field he stimulated. He even learned the A.T. force field skills such as the high-energy particle cannon easily after reading it a few times.

However, the difficulty level of the power use method involving advanced space theory, such as opening a space wormhole, is not at the same level as the "shallow" power use skills of other apostles. After all, it is not something that a poor student like Ikari Shinji who has not even finished high school can handle.

Therefore, even though he is very dissatisfied with his speed, Ikari Shinji, who has no choice, can only use this seemingly "primitive" method to fly high in the sky and find trouble with the apostles.

More than ten minutes later, Ikari Shinji, who continued to fly at super high speed and was still accelerating, finally arrived at the airspace where the apostles were.

Here, he can clearly see the appearance of the apostles, that is, a huge black sphere with countless eye-shaped patterns flashing and swimming on the surface.

However, Ikari Shinji knew that this was actually just the A.T. force field deployed by the apostle, but its strength was high enough to distort light, which was also the most difficult part of this apostle to deal with. Before it took the initiative to unlock this layer of absolute defense, almost no attack could hurt its body. Once it unlocked this layer of A.T. force field, it meant that its height had dropped to a low enough level, and it would be difficult to take action against it.

In fact, if it really came to that time, the best response plan would only be the same as the tactic proposed by Misato Katsuragi in every reincarnation - three EVAs each occupying different positions, adjusting their positions in real time according to the landing location of the apostle, and finally using the A.T. force field to catch the apostle as a whole.

However, to be honest, although Ikari Shinji had experienced countless reincarnations and this apostle was not the first time he had encountered it, it was precisely because of this that he knew how ridiculous Misato Katsuragi's tactics were and how lucky they were to succeed in the first place.

——Several reincarnations ended directly in the hands of this apostle! Either Shinji Ikari didn't catch up, or the apostle fell in the direction of the other two EVAs, and Rei Ayanami or Asuka didn't catch the apostle.

And now, Shinji Ikari himself has long given up driving the EVA, and the available combat power in NERV has been directly reduced by one third. The chance of winning is even smaller, and it can even be said that there is no chance at all! 　　In this case, whether out of selfishness or out of his sense of responsibility, Shinji Ikari feels that he has an obligation to personally get rid of this apostle, especially now that he has more powerful power! 　　"This position... is almost there!" 　　While thinking, Shinji Ikari slightly adjusted the shape of the A.T. force field around him. The pyramid-shaped force field shield in front of him that served as a fairing became sharper, and the cone-shaped stacked force field behind him that pushed him to fly at high speed was multiplied. Shinji Ikari accelerated again in the final stage, as if he was going to crash directly into the apostle in front of him! ——Ordinary attacks can't penetrate the apostle's defense at this time, but as a god-level soul, the strength of the A.T. field is also increasing day by day. For Shinji Ikari, it is not impossible to neutralize this level of A.T. field! "Now, A.T. Field, full power!" With a loud shout, the A.T. field, which is several times stronger than the last time it was fully opened, instantly enveloped the apostle, trying to neutralize and weaken the opponent's defense.

At the same time, the A.T. field wrapped around Shinji Ikari himself became more compact and sharp, like an armor-piercing bullet, heavily bombarding the apostle's body surface.

Boom——!!! 　　... "... Success, did it succeed?" 　　In the basement of the third new Tokyo city, at the NERV headquarters, a group of people were staring blankly at a gray and blurred picture on the big screen.

Just now, they watched Ikari Shinji transform into a human rocket and soar to the edge of the atmosphere, then crash head-on into the Angel. After a burst of extremely intense flashes, the surveillance satellites around the Angel temporarily failed due to overexposure of the optical lens, and could only wait for it to recover on its own.

"It should... succeed..." Someone prayed like this.

"The picture is restored!" After an extremely "long" dozen seconds, the overexposed satellite lens was finally readjusted, and the picture was restored on the big screen.

What caught everyone's eyes was a blood mist that spread for hundreds of kilometers, and a huge cross of light in the blood mist - this was the corpse of the apostle! "It worked! He succeeded!" "Great! Well done!" Everyone cheered loudly. Only Asuka, who was standing in the corner, had a stinking face because her role was robbed again. Not happy.

"Wait a minute, where is Shinji-kun?" It took several minutes for someone to realize that the apostle had been killed, so where was Shinji Ikari? Where has he gone? "This..." The intelligence officer on the side quickly checked the data of each detection device. After a long time, he said happily: "Shinji-kun is confirmed to have survived. His A.T. Field wave has been moving towards the third new wave after defeating the apostle. Moved towards Tokyo City, but quickly hid."

"Is that so...it's okay!" Misato Katsuragi's heart was finally relieved, as long as the child is fine...')510'\u003eChapter 509 Reactions from all parties

"Data collection completed... Sure enough, we shouldn't expect too much, this apostle can only do this!" On the ground, Fang Yuan released the telescopic analysis technique in his eyes, shook his head, and looked at this apostle. The apostle, who seemed to be huge and destructive, expressed disdain.

What really caught Fang Yuan's attention was another thing - that is, Shinji Ikari's shockingly fast power increase rate.

"I really didn't expect that his progress would be so great. It's only been a few days, and he has become several times stronger... This is too exaggerated!" Yes, in just over half a month, Shinji Ikari's His power is several times stronger than the last time he took action. It's hard to imagine how far he will reach when he grows to the end.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. Who gave me the opportunity to complete the completion of human beings... Even things like time line travel can be done, so there's nothing wrong with making progress faster..." Fang Yuan comforted himself like this, But in fact, only he himself knows how much envy, jealousy and hatred he feels.

"How about going to SEELE to grab all the information on the human completion plan, and then find a world where you don't like it and complete it again?" Fang Yuan thought about the possibility of doing this, and felt a little anxious in his heart.

... The earth and moon were in and out of orbit, and Ikari Yuantang and Deputy Commander Fuyutsuki, who were rushing back to Earth in a spaceship, also learned about the war situation on the Earth's side after the communication was restored.

"I really didn't expect that it would be that kid who took action this time... According to Captain Katsuragi, if it hadn't been for him, NERV would have probably failed this time!" The old man Fuyuki said with a sigh. It seemed that he was very interested in Ikari. Shinji's rescue behavior is still very favorable.

"Hmph! If it fails, it will be because he gave up the responsibility of driving EVA. What he is doing now is just to make up for his own mistakes!" However, it seems that Ikari Yuantang is very unfazed by his son's actions. , his tone was full of rejection and displeasure.

It's no wonder that when Shinji Ikari gave up driving the EVA, all of Yuantang's plans fell into a deadlock.

If he was the introverted and shy boy before, Yuantang Ikari would have many ways to make Shinji Ikari obediently fall into the trap and sit in Unit 1 again for his use.

But now the other party has obtained power comparable to, no, surpassing EVA in another way. Unit-1 is no longer needed at all. This makes Ikari Yuantang very embarrassed - Zai'er, you are so independent. , which makes dad and me very embarrassed! ……Those who have a similar mood to Ikari Yuantang are SEELE.

As a mysterious organization that has been influencing the direction of the world behind the scenes since ancient times, as the discoverers and custodians of the Dead Sea Documents, and the original planners of the human completion plan, what they hate most are variables that are beyond their control.

There is no doubt that Shinji Ikari is such a huge variable that is big enough to affect the entire chess game.

However, unlike Ikari Gendo, SEELE's feelings towards Ikari Shinji are much more direct, that is, naked and undisguised hostility! "Do you want me to kill Shinji-kun... What a bunch of naive guys!" On the moon, a white-haired boy was exposed to the vacuum environment without wearing any protective clothing, sitting on the EVA Unit 6 under construction. on, with a mocking expression on his face.

Well, everyone must know who this is. Yes, he is the young apostle who has an unusual friendship with Shinji Ikari - Kaoru Nagisa.

His body that looks the same as a human actually contains the soul of the first apostle Adam. Therefore, like Shinji Ikari before him, he can use his human body to emit a macroscopically visible A.T. force field, allowing him to Survive freely in the vacuum environment of the lunar surface.

However, as a chess piece created by SEELE to execute the plan, he seems to have his own ideas and doesn't care much about the orders of those "old men".

Looking up at the earth from above the moon, looking at this planet that gave birth to all things and human beings, but in the end became riddled with holes due to human desires, Kaoru Nagisa showed a gentle expression on his face: "The promised moment It’s almost here! Shinji-kun, please rest assured, I will definitely make you happy this time!”… Of course, in addition to these people, there are also some people who have noticed that Shinji Ikari has once again shown himself as a human being. A special individual with great power.

"Ah, ah, this is the third qualified person...it's really amazing!" The girl with glasses and twin tails sighed repeatedly as she looked at the combat video stolen from NERV's host.

"It's really weird. I'm obviously infected with the Apostle Virus! Why is there such a big difference in power? I can only use it as a body armor..." The girl named Mashiba Marie Ilantrias was a little unhappy. He pouted, while trying to activate the A.T. force field in his hand that was too weak to be seen, deeply feeling the unfairness in this world.

"I don't know how to get the power to defeat the apostles, or what other factors are needed? I always feel that this young man named Ikari Shinji is very special..." She sighed like this, but she had no idea that Ikari Shinji was indeed, as she said, one of the most special people in the world.

"Well, do you want to go see him? But I heard that he has left NERV and is a bit difficult to find... But judging from his several actions, they are all to protect the third New Tokyo City. I happen to be there too How about trying your luck there?" With this thought, she decisively asked the pilot to adjust the flight route. Instead of dropping her directly inside the NERV headquarters, she completed the drop outside the Third New Tokyo City.

Well, she was on a transport plane with the NERV logo at this time. She seemed to have come to Japan with some mission, probably to sneak into NERV headquarters or something like that. But for her own curiosity, she did not hesitate. He let go and jumped out of the plane without a parachute! "Whoa!!!" Thousands of meters high in the air, the girl shouted excitedly as she fell freely. This was her first experience of jumping out of a plane without any protective equipment. The level of excitement and stimulation was definitely not what she wanted. It can only be compared to skydiving.

It wasn't until after descending several hundred meters that Makiha calmed down a little: "Expand the A.T. Field!" The girl activated her own A.T. force field, although it was not strong enough to push people directly into outer space like Shinji Ikari. However, Shinami can still shape the A.T. force field into a shape like a flying wing, allowing people to glide and land like a paraglider.

"Well... shaping is a little more difficult than I thought... Fortunately, I didn't make any mistakes, otherwise I would have been smashed into a meat pie!" With such complaints, the girl's figure was supported by invisible wings, as if The dexterous flying swallow turned and danced, gradually disappearing among the high-rise buildings of New Tokyo City.

')511'\u003eChapter 510: This is not the first "first meeting" \u0026 Shinji Ikari is not a human being

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's really hard to find..." In New Tokyo, which has returned to its daily routine, a girl with glasses and twin tails is walking through the streets.

Although she was looking for traces of Shinji Ikari, she had no clues and was actually just wandering aimlessly. Or, in her own words, was she "following her intuition"? In short, even she herself didn't have much hope of finding Shinji Ikari.

However, sometimes things are so interesting. When Ma Xiha was no longer obsessed with finding Shinji Ikari, Shinji Ikari appeared in front of her by coincidence.

No, this may not be a coincidence! When Shinji Ikari descended from the sky on the invisible stairs, Makiha confirmed this from his eyes. The other party definitely came to her with a purpose! "Well, Shinji-kun, the third qualified person...it shouldn't be a problem to call you that, right?" Perhaps because of the huge gap in strength between the two sides, this time, after seeing Shinji Ikari, Makiha did not use "puppy dog" "Jun" calls him this with some mocking titles.

After all, the principle of "the strong is respected" is universal no matter in which world it is. The only difference is that there are various differences in the definition of "strong" for this "strong".

However, in this world where human beings are in danger and may be destroyed by the apostles at any time, and at the same time, a wave of "superpower awakening" has arisen across all mankind, the so-called "strong" are more reflected in naked violence.

In this regard, Shinji Ikari, who has just declared his strength with a wonderful battle, is undoubtedly a real "strong man". Even if he is as bold as Shinji Ha, he will not be brainless when they first meet. Just give the other person an unflattering nickname.

"...Well, you can call me Shinji...So, you are Makoto Mari Elantrias, right? I didn't expect that you also infected yourself with the 'Apostle Virus'. Did you give up driving the EVA?" According to Shinji Ikari, this girl who is full of mysteries from head to toe should not be the type to avoid fighting, but she would actually be exposed to the "Apostle Virus" at the cost of giving up driving an EVA. This is really disappointing. Somewhat puzzling.

Could it be that he or Mr. "Traveler" caused the butterfly effect? Shinji Ikari thought with some uncertainty.

"Huh? Do you know me?" Makiha was a little surprised by Shinji Ikari's reaction. This kind of initiative to learn the identities of other pilots was not like the introverted little boy written in his profile! Could it be that this is the transformation that happens after a man gains strength? The girl guessed irresponsibly.

However, although there were many things that were on his mind, Shinami didn't show it at all on his face, and instead answered Shinji Ikari's question: "Well, I accidentally walked out of the cockpit after driving the EVA. , so he was infected... There's nothing you can do about it, right?" Although the girl said this with certainty, Shinji Ikari knew intuitively that the other party was lying - she definitely did not "accidentally" step out of the car. cabin, and it was definitely intentional! Well, judging from the contact with this girl in many reincarnations in the past, she is definitely someone who can do such a thing! But Shinji Ikari didn't expose the other party's little lie. After all, it wasn't a big deal.

"So, you really just gave up driving EVA? You know, qualified people like us are hard to find. Without you, we will lose an important combat force on the battlefield against the apostles! " Shinji Ikari asked.

"Ah, by then, Brother Shinji will be there for you!" Makiha said carelessly, and the title of Shinji Ikari was suddenly upgraded to "Brother Shinji": "I have seen the video of your battle. , where did that incredible power come from? I have tried it myself, but no matter what, my A.T. Field can only be activated to the extent that it can prevent one bullet and one car accident. How did you do it? You can do it, what's the secret?" The girl blinked her big watery eyes and looked at Shinji Ikari curiously.

"...Have you been born well?" Rarely, Shinji Ikari answered the other party's question with a joke.

"Uh..." Makiha blinked. She didn't expect to get such an answer from the other party. Is this a mockery of her low talent? "Okay, just kidding... I can only say that I became like this after gaining power. Maybe there is something special about me!" Looking at Makiha's speechless expression, Shinji Ikari In the end, that was all I could say.

But only Shinji Ikari knew that he did not mean to belittle the other person just now, and what he said was actually not a joke - If he hadn't been born well, he would have a mother who is in charge of EVA design work at SEELE, and a man who came to see his mother just for the sake of meeting her. How could the father who was willing to destroy the world to attain enlightenment get on board Unit 1 during his first reincarnation, and step by step become the core of mankind's completion plan, and eventually his soul become a god? Of course, he would not say such a thing to Makiha, who can only be regarded as an "outsider" to a large extent - after all, in every reincarnation in the past, the relationship between Shinji Ikari and the other party was not very close, at best. They were just acquaintances who could talk to each other a little bit, and they were far less bound and complicated than Rei Ayanami and Asuka.

... Just as two former EVA pilots, Shinji Ikari and Makiha, met in a way that seemed like a coincidence but was actually not a coincidence at all, on the other side, the second branch of NERV, far away in North America, suddenly happened one night. It was completely destroyed... no, it disappeared! Also disappearing with it was the next-generation EVA experimental machine equipped with the S2 mechanism, Mark.04, also known as machine No. 4.

I don’t know whether it was an experimental accident or someone’s conspiracy. The A.T. force field of EVA Unit 4 suddenly went out of control, opening a huge portal to the unknown realm directly on the North American continent, directly destroying NERV’s second branch and many surrounding cities. Swallowing them all, that terrifying sight can be seen clearly even from outer space! "This is... such a strong A.T. Field wave!" Shinji Ikari, who was talking to Makiha, suddenly lowered his head and looked at the ground, which was the direction in which he sensed a very powerful A.T. force field suddenly appeared.

He was a little confused at first, but then he realized that this extremely powerful A.T. force field suddenly erupted on the other side of the earth. Judging from the geography knowledge he had learned, it should be in... the United States! He remembered that it seemed that in many reincarnations, probably during this time period, a major accident did occur that wiped out the entire NERV branch. He did not expect that this reincarnation would happen now... "What's wrong? "Makiha asked with some surprise.

Because of the A.T. force field, or more accurately the gap in soul power, she did not feel the terrible "accident" happening on the other side of the earth.

"...It's nothing, it's just that a NERV branch on the other side of the earth was completely wiped out - and an EVA should also have disappeared with it."

Shinji Ikari told the "facts" he knew in an understatement, but Makiha was shocked - not only because of the terrible news from Shinji Ikari's mouth, but also because he could actually know the other side of the earth just by perception. Terrible perception of what is going on! Is this still human? ! ! The third update is completed')512'\u003e5001 War in the Invisible Realm

The first person to notice the annihilation of the second branch of NERV together with Unit 4 was not only the powerful Shinji Ikari, but also Fang Yuan.

In fact, he was on an uninhabited island in the Pacific, even closer to the North American continent where the incident occurred, so he even discovered the clues a moment earlier than Shinji Ikari.

"Did the overload operation of the S2 mechanism open the portal to the Dirac Sea? Or it can be said that the real dimension and the high-dimensional world briefly overlapped, causing matter to be swallowed up.

Although it is extremely powerful in terms of destructive power, this is essentially a suicide attack that kills both the enemy and ourselves! Unless the ability activator has a way to survive in that high-dimensional world of pure energy..." Fang Yuan sensed the disaster that occurred on the North American continent and quickly understood the nature of this catastrophic phenomenon, which was beyond his expectation. The principle behind it being able to cause such a disaster with such a wide range of effects and such huge destructive power is quite simple - just as Fang Yuan concluded from his previous research on the S2 mechanism, this kind of thing looks like some kind of special biomass. The nanoscale structure of macromolecules itself can move freely between three-dimensional space and high-dimensional space-time, and the so-called infinite energy is exactly what the S2 mechanism brings out of the high-dimensional space in the process of transferring between dimensions. It contains infinite pure energy and is transformed into the energy form possessed by the real material world.

In other words, every S2 mechanism can be regarded as a nanoscale portal, communicating between the mysterious high-dimensional space and the real three-dimensional space-time.

In other words, the space near the running S2 mechanism is actually very unstable, and it is experiencing distortion and smoothing of space all the time. This is just because the size range of this periodic distortion is too small, and The operating frequencies and phases of the periodic shuttle dimensions of many S2 organs are also different, so it will not be too obvious on a macro scale.

However, if a sufficient number of S2 organs adjust their operating cycles and unify the frequency and phase of dimensional shuttles, they can amplify the fluctuations of periodic distortions in space like resonance, eventually causing dramatic spatial changes in the macroscopic realm, opening up practical significance. The "Gate of Dimensions" on the Earth and destroys all matter that the "Gate" comes into contact with.

"Isn't this very similar to the out-of-control hyperspace gate in the A/Z world! It's just that the energy spilled out is not strong enough to explode stars... No! If my guess is correct, in fact, the so-called ' The second impact was essentially a similar situation, and the disaster that time was no worse than the 'Heaven Fall' in the A/Z world!" Fang Yuan thought about Aldnoah obtained from the A/Z world again! The core technology, although the technical routes of the two are different, the most fundamental principles are still very similar, which made him sigh again at this coincidence across the world.

"However, since the disappearance of Unit 4 has already happened, does it mean that the next apostle will appear soon?" Fang Yuan flipped through the EVA plot summary recorded in [Ether] and confirmed the next one to appear. The apostle is the ninth apostle possessing fuselage No. 3.

However, that was only the situation in the original plot. Under the butterfly effect caused by Fang Yuan, many plots have changed. He needs to investigate again for details: "[Ether], please confirm, NERV has recently cross-region Any plans to transfer EVA? Especially Unit 3.”

"Retrieving, please wait..." [Ether]'s unique mechanical voice sounded in Fang Yuan's mind. A few seconds later, it gave the answer: "The NERV mechanism has not found any transfer of EVA bodies. "

"...The plot has really changed!" Fang Yuan was not surprised by this. After all, the current situation at the NERV Japan branch is that there are more EVA bodies than pilots, and there are no battle losses like in the original plot. Of course, there is no need to transfer Unit 3 all the way from the other side of the ocean.

"So, doesn't this ninth apostle have no chance to appear?" Fang Yuan raised his eyebrows, a little curious about how the plot will develop next - is it possible that the apostle can still break through NERV's numerous blockades and directly Entering NERV to erode a certain EVA body? Of course this is impossible. With such ability, there is no need to erode EVA. Wouldn't it be more convenient to directly invade Lilith's sealed area! Fang Yuan thought so, but... he was soon slapped in the face by reality - "Holy shit, is this apostle so stubborn?!" Just a few days after Unit 4 disappeared, through the "Apostle Virus" "Using the sensing network, Fang Yuan sensed that many special microorganisms suddenly appeared in the atmosphere near New Tokyo City - how special are they? That's right, these newly emerged microorganisms have the same S2 mechanism as the "Apostle Virus"! There is no doubt that this can only be the new apostle! "Is this... a fungus?" When Fang Yuan turned his attention here and used the apostle virus as a medium to explore the apostle, who was also in the form of a microorganism, he was somewhat surprised to find that the other party was not as he thought before. It's like a virus, but closer to a fungus! "Well... there are indeed parasitic species among fungi. If a certain kind of fungus developed to its peak in ancient times, it is not impossible to be selected by the Fruit of Life to become an apostle..." Fang Yuan quietly activated some of the apostle viruses. The hidden function temporarily transformed this beneficial virus that was harmless to any living thing into an aggressive and virulent virus, and invaded and parasitized the body of the newly emerged apostle, thereby further understanding the opponent's physiological structure.

However, the invasion of the apostle virus also immediately led to the apostle's counterattack. After all, these microorganisms that looked like single-celled fungi were not really ordinary fungi, but some species of organisms that evolved in the past history of the earth. After the ultimate result, it can even be said that the overlord of the earth in a certain era in the past would naturally not be able to fall victim to some kind of virulent virus.

It can be seen that the cells of this "apostle fungus" change due to stress. In response to the characteristics of the virus that invades the cell, corresponding inhibitory enzymes are generated in a very short time, which greatly inhibits the activity of the apostle virus. At the same time, A.T. With the assistance of the force field, material annihilation vacuoles at the sub-organelle level are generated one by one, and the virions are physically destroyed after capturing them.

The apostle virus, which was temporarily activated to be lethal, was not to be outdone. Under the remote control of Fang Yuan and [Ether], it quickly modified and mutated its own structure with the help of the A.T. force field, and even gradually evolved into a bubble that could annihilate matter. The tenacious individuals who survived became the "Super Apostle Virus". While dealing with the strangulation of the Ninth Apostle, it also simultaneously increased its lethality against the Apostle's cells.

For a time, a huge "war" that could not be observed by the human eye unfolded quietly! ')513'\u003eChapter 5002 New Virus \u0026 Commander Ikari Being Treated Specially

"Tsk! This ninth apostle, who was originally killed by the Puppet Machine No. 1 in a few seconds, is really difficult to deal with beyond expectation!" After spending three full days, with the support of Fang Yuan and [Ether], he continued The "Apostle Virus" that evolved and mutated at a high speed finally completely wiped out the ninth apostle in the form of a fungus.

However, at this time, it seems that these apostle viruses participating in the "war" can no longer be called "viruses".

In order to survive the various strangulation methods of the ninth apostle, especially the material annihilation vacuole, which is the natural enemy of all material creatures, the apostle virus gradually shed the life form of a carbon-based virus through continuous evolution and mutation, and transformed into a carbon-based virus. Based on the high-dimensional nature of the S2 mechanism, it was reorganized into a special life that exists in the dimensional gap.

——There is no real material body, or even static mass. It is essentially closer to a stable information body with a self-organizing structure, but it still retains the corrosive and parasitic ability of a virus.

But this kind of parasitism no longer requires respiratory infection as before, but relies on the fact that the virus itself does not have a material carrier. It can ignore all material obstacles and directly target the A.T. force field - or more accurately. In other words, it is the soul - parasitism.

Of course, after being parasitized, it can still reverse its form again and reconstruct the S2 mechanism in the material state. It has exactly the same functions as the ordinary apostle virus and continues to fulfill the mission it was originally designed to do.

"Tsk, this can already be regarded as a kind of information life, right? Or is it a purely spiritual parasitic life? I didn't expect such an unexpected gain!" Yes, this is a result that Fang Yuan did not expect. He had not expected it before It was just to allow the Apostle Virus to defeat the Ninth Apostle on the road of evolution and mutation, but I didn’t expect that in the end, I accidentally harvested this ultimate evolutionary form of the Apostle Virus. It has to be said that it was an accident. happiness.

Holding a small ball of light emitting blue light in his hand, Fang Yuan's face was full of joy - this ball of light was the super-mutated apostle virus he had recovered. This virus should not have existed under normal conditions. It is in the form of material, but when it gathers a sufficient number in the material world, because it itself is constantly radiating slight energy outwards, and then affects the wavelength of light radiation under the subtle space distortion caused by the A.T. force field, it will eventually appear. This kind of light quality pattern that is biased towards blue light is produced.

"But it's no longer appropriate to call it 'Apostle Virus' at this time. Why don't we call it... Blue Light Virus?" Fang Yuan looked at the appearance of this information-state super virus and picked one very uncreatively. A name that evokes special associations in people.

However, unlike those black light viruses and white light viruses that can cause the loss of an entire city at every turn, the "blue light virus" in Fang Yuan's hands is completely controllable. As long as he does not activate the hidden killing function, it will only affect the infected person. benefits without any harm.

After all, Fang Yuan’s original intention of creating this virus was to benefit mankind! (Correct) Well, as for why the "hidden function" that has appeared many times in the article exists in this virus...cough! This is the daily routine of scientific researchers! (Dense fog) ... The microbial community war that took place at the entrance of NERV headquarters did not alarm anyone except Fang Yuan. That is to say, Shinji Ikari, who knew the development of the "plot", felt a little strange - it should have been in this paragraph. There was no trace of the Ninth Apostle who appeared in time, and even Unit 3, which was supposed to be sent to Japan, was still left in the United States.

The latter is easy to understand. After all, the three EVA machines at NERV headquarters are still intact. Except for the fact that the pilot of the No. 1 machine cannot be found, the combat power is not damaged at all. There is no need to mobilize additional EVA machines to come to the rescue.

As for the former, when Shinji Ikari thought that there was another "traveller" who regarded the apostles as prey, he almost guessed the truth of the matter - he must have been beaten to the punch by that guy again! But this is also good news for him - no matter what, no one will be injured this way. No matter which EVA the apostle corrodes, the driver will be difficult to escape, even if he is lucky enough to survive There will also be a risk of mental pollution when coming down, which is not what Shinji Ikari wants to see.

However, what he didn't know was that because of someone's unintentional gain, NERV Japan's headquarters would soon no longer have qualified EVA pilots - if they strictly followed their current regulations.

Yes, after Fang Yuan obtained the blue light virus, he did not hide it, but released it again, focusing on facilities such as the NERV base that were tightly defended and closed inside and outside. We strive to ensure that there is no longer any dead spot on the earth, so that all human beings can share the gift of the "fruit of life".

However, Fang Yuan's "good intentions" are not stingy with deadly poison for some people.

Especially for Ikari Yuantang, when he learned that everyone in the NERV base had gradually awakened to the A.T. force field, he immediately knew something was wrong - the blockade of the apostle virus that he had insisted on for a long time had failed! Especially Ayanami Rei and Asuka, two very important EVA pilots. Even though NERV has the strictest protection and restrictions for them, they still cannot stop the blue light virus that ignores material barriers. Unfortunately, they were infected by the virus. .

Asuka, a pure human being, really had no choice. Ikari Gendo had no choice but to temporarily remove her identity as an EVA pilot and place his hopes on Ayanami Rei, the artificial human being. In his opinion, if he was ruthless enough to give her Changing the body should be able to solve the problem of this viral infection! However, the final result disappointed Ikari Gendo - although she did return to normal after putting her in a new body, Ayanami Rei's soul soon became infected again within a few minutes of being transferred to the new body. There are no signs, no matter how many protective measures have been taken before, it is useless! Obviously, this virus infection cannot be dealt with by ordinary air isolation. Even NERV researchers have not yet figured out what the route of virus infection is.

No, it should be said that it is impossible to determine whether the virus they were infected with this time is still the virus from the last time.

The only thing that is certain is that the S2 mechanism will also appear in the human body after being infected, and depending on the qualifications of the infected person, the macroscopically visible A.T. force field will awaken after different lengths of time.

Just a week later, almost everyone in the entire Japanese NERV headquarters base was confirmed to be infected, and most of them had awakened the power of the A.T. force field—except for one person.

Well, yes, this person is Ikari Yuantang himself.

For some reason, the virus that could indiscriminately infect all humans spread throughout the NERV base, but it was not transmitted to Ikari Yuantang. It was as if he was directly expelled from the human race. This made the old Commander Ikari feel lucky. A little depressed again.

——What does this virus mean? Do you not regard him as a human being? Still look down on him? Why did Mao leave him out alone? ! The second update is completed, that’s all for today.

Well, the "differential treatment" that Ikari Yuantang received was of course Fang Yuan's handiwork.

Fang Yuan didn't like this guy who decided the fate of all mankind for his own selfish reasons, and naturally he didn't want to hand him the key to the next stage of human evolution.

Furthermore, hasn’t Ikari Yuantang always expressed distrust in the safety of the apostle virus, and is not even willing to let infected people sit on EVA? Then Fang Yuan naturally didn't need to "embarrass" the other party.

Therefore, Fang Yuan issued an order to all "Apostle Viruses" and the subsequent "Blue Light Virus" - any virus that enters Ikari Gendo's body will self-destruct immediately, leaving him no hope of obtaining the S2 mechanism.
