Chapter 128

"Huh? Did Unit 6 take action ahead of schedule?" When the aircraft that flew out of the moon entered space, Fang Yuan immediately sensed its presence.

Even if he didn't use an astronomical telescope, and he didn't specifically aim the detection equipment at the moon, the powerful A.T. force field in the rapid approach allowed Fang Yuan to sense the other party's existence without the aid of any instrument.

And he, who has been paying attention to the movements of New Tokyo III and Shinji Ikari, also knows that it is not yet time for the Tenth Apostle to appear, and the advance action of Unit 6 is obviously completely different from the original plot.

"Is this the butterfly effect caused by my actions..." Fang Yuan was a little surprised at first, and then felt that this development was indeed reasonable - the actions he made on the earth were earth-shaking and would trigger various Fang's reaction is quite normal.

Although Kaoru Nagisa is nominally the puppet of SEELE's senior management, he obviously has his own ideas in both the TV version and the theater version, and it is natural for him to take action when things change.

What's more, now that all the top leaders of SEELE have been wiped out by Fang Yuan, Nagisa Kaoru has completely lost all restraints. With the unclear relationship between him and Shinji Ikari, he will come to the earth at this time." Helping” the other party is also reasonable.

However, all of this is just Fang Yuan's guess based on the character settings of the original plot. The specific situation will depend on subsequent developments.

"Well, actually this is also an opportunity. If Unit 6 brings down the gun that I don't know whether it is Longinus or Cassius, then I will have the opportunity to fetch it and study it carefully. Come on!” Fang Yuan was not unhappy about the arrival of Zhuxun. On the contrary, he was looking forward to the other party bringing more things down from the moon... Not only Fang Yuan, but NERV, who had been alert to the apostles' incoming attack, also immediately discovered the machine flying from the moon.

"Can Unit 6... be put into actual combat?" Ikari Yuantang sat on the command seat in the classic "Commander Ikari sitting posture", looking at the humanoid body on the big screen that was rapidly approaching the earth, his expression uncertain. .

"The pilot of Unit 6, I remember his name is Nagisa Kaoru, right? Have you confirmed why the other party took sudden action at this time?" Regarding Ikari Gendo's question, Deputy Commander Fuyutsuki, who was still standing behind him, asked from one side. The staff member took a tablet in his hand, glanced at it twice and replied: "It seems that this SEELE qualified candidate acted without anyone's approval! According to the message sent by the survivors on the moon According to the information, it is said that Unit 6 moved on its own without piloting it, and it looked like it was controlled remotely by Nagisa Kaoru..." "...Sure enough, this person is not an ordinary human being!" As early as the last inspection on the moon, we had seen the scene where the other party was exposed on the lunar surface without wearing protective clothing. It had long been clear that the other party was "not a human being" or "not an ordinary person".

The ability to remotely control unmanned EVA is now revealed, which only further confirms this point.

"But, is there any reason why he suddenly left the moon and came to the earth?" Deputy Commander Dongyue was also a little curious, why did this good man come here suddenly? Could it be that because SEELE's senior executives have disappeared collectively, the other party feels that they can just hang out? Well, as for the fact that the other party is "not an ordinary person", he doesn't pay much attention to it - after all, there are probably not many "ordinary people" on the entire earth now! "We can talk about the reasons later. Now let Unit 0 and Unit 2 prepare for war. If the other party really has bad intentions, we have to prepare countermeasures!" Although the Apostle Virus has fully spread among NERV members After the outbreak, Asuka and Ayanami Rei were briefly relieved of their pilot status, but later, because in fact all humans had been infected, they had to compromise and resume their pilot status.

"This has been arranged."

Deputy Commander Dongyue nodded and said.

"Where is Unit 1? Is DUMMY SYSTEM still unable to start smoothly?" Ikari Yuantang is still thinking about his Unit 1. Since his son ran away, he has never successfully started this unit, but he has never given up. ——His wife is still inside, how could he give up! "It still doesn't work. Maybe our previous estimates were wrong. Even if Unit 1 has not awakened, it is still 'conscious'. People who are not truly recognized cannot control it!" Deputy Commander Dongyue shook his head. , the answer given made Ikari Yuantang very disappointed.

However, this disappointment only lasted for a moment.

If...if this puppet system is finally proven to be unusable, then he may have to take a different route...　　...　　After the order to prepare for battle was issued, the EVA's maintenance area immediately became busy. Ayanami Rei and Asuka returned to the EVA cockpit after a long absence　　Asuka was simply happy to be able to drive the EVA again, but things were a little different for Ayanami Rei -　　"Unit 6, Kaworu Nagisa...is it finally starting..."　　At this moment, Ayanami Rei's face no longer had the expressionless coldness of the past, but showed an obvious expression of worry: "Shinji-kun, what will you choose this time..."　　...　　"Kaworu Nagisa...are you here too..."　　Standing on the top of a mountain, Shinji Ikari looked up at the sky. Although he couldn't see it with his naked eyes, he could sense the soul fluctuations approaching rapidly from the direction of the moon through his induction of the A.T. force field.

That was his only true friend. Although the other party's true identity was an apostle, and although the two had not met in this reincarnation, he still felt a little warm in his heart.

"Well, that's right. If you are also paying attention to the earth and the human race, you can't not show up now that such a big change has taken place in the human group!" He knew very well that his "friend", although an apostle himself, loved the human race and the infinite possibilities of the human race in his heart. Now that he saw the human group heading towards the path of individual civilization, how could he not take action? 　　"But this is better than the ending of total annihilation every time... Maybe this time is the best time to end it all!" The boy sighed, but his tone and expression were not like those of a young man - he was really tired! 　　However, this expression only appeared for a moment. The next moment, Shinji Ikari restrained his expression, his eyes were firm, and the colorful waves of light when the A.T. force field was activated appeared all over his body. He flew up and slowly flew towards the fortress city in front.

Soon, Adam, Lilith, and the "God" created by the Son of Man will gather here again.

The world will usher in His final end! 　　… 　　As if in response to the changes on the human side, just when Unit 6 was about to arrive on Earth, somewhere in the South Pacific, time and space suddenly fluctuated violently.

Amid the piercing alarm, Fang Yuan used the perception of the virus network to "look" at the location where the fluctuation occurred.

The space on the sea surface was like the fluctuating water surface, with layers of wrinkles and twists, and a channel to other dimensions opened in the void.

The next moment, a fist-sized, blood-red sphere like the core of an apostle jumped out of the channel, and then immediately swelled against the wind, accompanied by a violent energy gushing, and changed into a huge red sphere with a diameter of hundreds of meters.

Finally, when the sphere grew to its limit, its surface appeared with cracks like a hatching eggshell, and then, with a "bang", the sphere shattered, revealing the existence "hatched" inside.

That is - the tenth apostle? The barrel-shaped "short and fat" body and the ribbon-like appendages on both sides like rolled paper are indeed the characteristics of the tenth apostle in the original plot.

However, the tentacle structure composed of prismatic substances extending from the back of the apostle is very similar to the twelfth apostle in the third part of the new theatrical version.

"A fusion of two apostles?!" Fang Yuan was very surprised: "Such a change would actually occur!" "Moreover, the space channel just now should lead to the Dirac Sea, right? In other words, this apostle who looks like a fusion was hiding in it before? This is really an unexpected development!" The second update is completed')520'\u003eChapter 5009 A Last Stand

"All members are deployed in the first battle configuration-" "Prepare for ground-to-air attack-" Today's NERV headquarters is still as busy as ever.

The appearance of the apostles has put the third new Tokyo City, which was already in a state of combat readiness, into the highest level of alert.

"I didn't expect that the tenth apostle would also appear at this time..." Ikari Gendō looked at the apostle's route shown on the electronic map, and then looked at the other side where EVA No. 6 was about to enter the low-Earth orbit, and felt a little worried.

"Is it a coincidence? Or did even the apostle have a premonition of something..." Ikari Gendō also had a vague premonition in his heart, perhaps, some things will be completely concluded today! 　　...　　On the Pacific coast, the United Nations fleet has already started a battle with the so-called "tenth apostle".

Countless missiles, artillery, and aerial bombs were thrown at the apostles floating in the air as if they were free.

But unfortunately, even the weakest apostles can be at ease in the face of such conventional weapons attacks, and the tenth apostle, who can be called the "strongest rejection type apostle" in the original plot, regards all attacks as a breeze.

Even if more than ten N2 missiles were fired at it at the same time, the explosions were comparable to nuclear explosions at zero distance, but it still could not hurt it at all.

In the mushroom cloud that looked like a nuclear explosion, the figure of the tenth apostle dragged countless tentacles and flew out leisurely, without any signs of injury on his appearance.

The next moment, the apostle's counterattack began.

In the apostle's white face that looked like a bird's skull, two cross-shaped rays of light flashed in the dark holes that should be the "eyes".

The next moment, rays as dazzling as the sun shot out from the apostle's eyes, sweeping across the area, and a fireball flashed that was more terrifying than the N2 missile chain explosion just now.

When the light faded, the UN interception fleet consisting of hundreds of warships had completely disappeared, and with it, there were countless tons of blood-red seawater.

In fact, because the explosion just now evaporated too much seawater in an instant, the entire sea surface was sunken, and it took a few seconds for the surrounding seawater to replenish and backflow. The tens of meters high waves collided with each other, making a loud noise that was no less than the previous artillery fire.

The drastic changes in the water body even triggered a small-scale tsunami. Along the coast of Tokyo Bay in Japan, waves more than ten meters high crossed the breakwater and rushed onto the land, and many port facilities along the coast were damaged.

However, no one cared about this little thing at this time——　　…　　"The Seventh Fleet has been completely destroyed! The Tenth Angel is about to land!"　　In the NERV headquarters, the intelligence officer reported the battle situation to Ikari Gendō and other commanders.

"A full fleet can't even delay time? It really deserves to be called the 'strongest' apostle!"　　Deputy Commander Fuyutsuki sighed.

"Keep the ground troops on the front! Even if they are just cannon fodder, it's good to consume a little of the apostle's power!"　　The iron-hearted Commander Ikari Gendō issued such an order, which clearly showed the attitude of treating ordinary troops as cannon fodder, fully demonstrating the true meaning of the saying "kindness does not command the army".

Fortunately, after the United Nations suffered several losses, most of the mechanized troops have been upgraded to unmanned automated equipment, and because they are facing an extremely powerful and unconventional enemy like the apostles, there is no need to implement any tactics or strategies, and the entire army will not even have many living people on the front line.

Therefore, no one objected to this order that was clearly to send the army to die, and it was carried out smoothly - after all, they were just a pile of iron lumps, and if they were destroyed, the rear factory would just make another batch.

Only when the fleet was completely destroyed before, the loss was heavy - after all, with the current technical strength, automated fleets are still a little unrealistic, and there are indeed many crew members in the warships.

And with the current level of human evolution, although it has barely reached the standard of "body becoming a world", if it wants to block the direct attack of the Tenth Apostle, the level is still too far away. All defenses were penetrated at a glance, and the flesh was burned to ashes... No, even the ashes were vaporized! 　　——The second stage of enhancement given by Fang Yuan only prevents all mankind from being killed by the power that directly targets the soul, such as the "Human Completion Plan", but it cannot give everyone the ability to confront the apostles head-on.

Maybe after hundreds of years of evolution, someone can do it, but at this stage, the only one who can confront the apostles with their flesh bodies is Fang Yuan, an outsider, and Ikari Shinji, who has become a god. Even Nagisa Kaoru and Ayanami Rei, who are the reincarnations of Adam and Lilith, can't do it! Well, let's get back to the point.

When Ikari Gendō gave the order, the ground forces of the United Nations began to show their power. Moreover, because the Third New Tokyo City itself is a fortress city, there are many fixed heavy firepower platforms built on the mountain nearby. With the support of fully automatic unmanned mechanized forces and the air force, the overall firepower is much stronger than the previous Seventh Fleet.

Various types of artillery shells and missiles, which are several times more dense than the previous sea surface interception, bombarded the Tenth Apostle who was approaching the Third New Tokyo City in a straight line.

However, even if all the ground forces were pressed, facing the Tenth Apostle with an unprecedented A.T. force field, all attacks had no effect, and the "consumption" expected by Commander Ikari was not even a sign.

Then, the Tenth Angel's counterattack was just as devastating as before - with just one strike, the entire Third New Tokyo City's fortress defense line was completely destroyed. The power of the bombardment even penetrated all 42 layers of composite armor plates under the Third New Tokyo City, directly opening up the passage between the Third New Tokyo City and the underground large cavity! "Let Unit 0 and Unit 2 go into battle immediately!" As the tactical commander, Katsuragi Misato immediately issued an order.

Unit 0 and Unit 2, which had been prepared for a long time, were immediately launched from the emergency launch channel to the surface - well, here it refers to the "surface" in the underground large cavity. The NERV headquarters command post and the EVA preparation area are actually in a deeper area underground.

It is too late to go to the top of the ground now, and the Third New Tokyo City on the surface has been completely destroyed, and all the support facilities needed for EVA operations have also been completely destroyed.

Rather than letting the two EVAs fight at great risk in isolation, it would be better to place the battlefield directly in this huge underground space, right before the final line of defense, and have a last-ditch battle! ')521'\u003eChapter 520 The Knight Holding the Spear of God Killer

"Hey, squeamish boy, do you think that Ikari Shinji's courage... will that reckless man show up this time?" Sitting in Unit 2, holding a giant EVA-specific submachine gun, Asuka, fully armed, was waiting for the upcoming apostle, while talking to Rei Ayanami through the communication to relieve her nervousness.

How could she not be nervous? After all, this was only her second combat experience while driving an EVA, and she was facing the super-powerful Tenth Angel. No matter how arrogant and confident Asuka was, she would still feel a little nervous when she was on the battlefield.

However, her arrogant nature did not allow her to show her nervousness, so she could only use this kind of chat to ease the tension.

As for her question, Rei Ayanami, who was sitting in Unit 0, did not answer immediately. Instead, she was silent for a while and said in a very affirmative tone: "Shinji-kun, he will definitely come!" "...You really have confidence in that guy..." Asuka wanted to refute, but she remembered that last time when Shinji Ikari was at a loss, he took action and flew out of the atmosphere to kill the "Ninth Angel". This brave style made her speechless.

"...But I won't put my hope on others! Look, I'll defeat the apostle right here!" At this moment, in the huge crack in the city ruins above, the figure of the tenth apostle slowly emerged in the billowing smoke and dust.

The battle has begun! 　　Da Da Da——! 　　The two EVA pilots pulled the trigger on the joystick almost at the same time, and "bullets" with a caliber larger than ordinary shells shot out from the giant "submachine guns" held by the two EVAs, and with the assistance of the A.T. force field, they continued to hit the exaggeratedly thick multi-layer composite A.T. force field of the tenth apostle.

"Hey, hey, hey, this apostle's A.T. Field is a bit too strong!" Asuka saw that her attack had no effect, and even the A.T. force field emitted by the EVA was pushed back by the apostle's increasingly thick composite A.T. force field, and the pressure in her heart suddenly increased.

‘No, long-range attacks can’t break through the defense…’ Asuka casually threw two giant submachine guns with exhausted ammunition on the ground, making two loud noises of “bang” and “bang”. Asuka controlled Unit 2 and stepped on a giant storage box on the ground. With the sound of explosive bolts exploding, the box unfolded and a handheld impact cone popped out.

“Voiceover, cover me!” After saying this, Asuka didn’t wait for Rei Ayanami’s response, and rushed forward with the new weapon in her hand.

Fortunately, Rei Ayanami was not the kind of teammate who didn’t know how to cooperate. Although Asuka just said “cover”, she immediately knew what the other party wanted to do and what she should do.

Unit 0 also threw away the two “submachine guns” with exhausted ammunition in its hands and took out new weapons from the storage box on the ground.

However, Rei Ayanami chose not the impact cone that could only attack at zero distance, but a super giant six-barreled Gatling gun that made people feel crazy just by looking at its appearance.

Buzz buzz buzz... bang bang bang bang bang bang bang——!!! 　　Accompanied by a loud sound completely different from the "submachine gun" firing, the rain of bullets that was more than ten times denser than before, combined with the A.T. force field of Unit 0 at full power, successfully broke through several layers of the A.T. force field of the Tenth Angel.

Although there is still a long way to go before completely penetrating the extremely thick composite A.T. force field of the Tenth Angel, it is at least much better than before when it couldn't even break through the front layer of the A.T. force field.

And Unit 0's attack also unexpectedly attracted the attention of the apostles, giving Unit 2, which was bypassing from the side, the opportunity to get close enough.

At this moment——　　"Take my attack!!!"　　Shouting so loudly, Asuka controlled Unit 2 to jump high, and the cone head of the impact cone in her hand, which was made of high-strength single-molecule material, instantly emitted high-frequency vibrations. Taking advantage of the fact that the apostle used most of the A.T. force field to fight against Unit 0, she launched an attack at zero distance, and almost succeeded! 　　Well, almost...　　Swish——　　A black shadow rushed out from behind the apostle, and blocked the cone head of the impact cone at the moment when Unit 2 was about to succeed. Although the strength of the A.T. force field emitted by it was far inferior to the extremely heavy composite A.T. force field in front of the apostle, it was enough to resist the attack of Unit 2.

"This is!"　　Asuka was stunned, and then suddenly shocked——　　But she saw that the tenth apostle had turned around, and the flying ribbons on both sides of his body suddenly retracted and curled into two cylinders.

The next moment, like a spring that was compressed to its limit and then rebounded at high speed, the two "ribbons" that were curled to their limit also stabbed out like two sharp blades under the acceleration of the A.T. force field, and Unit 2, which was unable to dodge, was about to be pierced through by it.

Swoosh! 　　A red shadow flashed by, and the two ribbons that turned into sharp swords did not pierce their targets, but were nailed to the ground by another weapon.

Asuka, who had escaped a disaster, looked carefully, but found that the one who saved her was a blood-red double-helix spear! 　　Lance of Longinus! 　　This "God-killing Spear" actually appeared here! 　　Asuka suddenly reacted, immediately raised her head, and saw the figure slowly floating down from the huge crack in the sky.

——Ikari Shinji, here he comes! ...　　"What's going on? How could Longinus be in his hands?!"　　Ikari Gendo, who was in the command post, had been paying attention to the puppet system of Unit-01, which had not been showing any improvement. He did not expect that just by slightly diverting his attention for a while, changes that greatly surprised him would occur on the battlefield.

"What's the status of Lilith's seal? Cut out the surveillance footage there immediately!" He ordered.

Immediately afterwards, a scene from the Final Dogma Zone appeared on the computer screen. The white giant wearing a seven-eyed mask was being sealed by the same blood-red double helix spear. It was obvious that the one on the battlefield " "The Spear of Longinus" is not the one that seals Lilith.

This made Ikari Yuantang feel a little relieved, but at the same time he raised huge doubts: "What is going on?"... Over the battlefield, Shinji Ikari, who had just rescued Unit 2 at the most critical moment, quietly relaxed. Take a breath - finally caught up! He stretched out a hand and pulled it upward slightly. The double helix spear nailed to the ground immediately flew up in response and returned to his hand.

Although the size ratio of one person and one gun seems to be extremely different, under the influence of the aura exuded by Shinji Ikari at this time, there is no incongruity at all. On the contrary, it makes all the audience feel that the person and the gun seem to be integrated into one, regardless of the difference. each other.

‘Nagisa Kaoru, thank you for your gift! ' Gently touching the smooth surface of the huge spear with one hand, Shinji Ikari secretly thanked him in his heart.

"However, I am still a little unaccustomed to using such a giant weapon with my body size... Anyway, this is the last time, so let's say goodbye!" Following the young man's thoughts, deep underground in the NERV base still refused to activate. The machine's eyes suddenly lit up! ')522'\u003e521 The final prologue

Rumble——! With a loud bang, a purple giant broke out of the ground.

The unmanned EVA No. 1 unit started on its own and came to the battlefield on the ground.

Under the support of the invisible force field, Unit 1 raised its arms horizontally and flew in the air. With its overall too slender body, it looked like the son of God who was tied to an invisible cross and suffered.

However, the one in front of him is not the incompetent son of God who can only be helplessly tied to the cross and eventually stabbed to death, but the body of God who truly possesses unparalleled divine power and may awaken to become a true god at any time.

Click—— Unit-00, which flew to the same height as Shinji Ikari, stretched out his right hand and tightly grasped the Longinus Spear that was also floating in mid-air, while Shinji Ikari himself stood on top of Unit-001. , as if he were a knight riding a divine body.

People, machines, and spears were completely integrated into one at this moment, regardless of each other. The increasingly terrifying momentum even made the Tenth Apostle immediately give up paying attention to Unit 0 and Unit 2, and instead faced Look at this terrible trinity of enemies before you.

"Unit-00, let's go!" Shinji Ikari said softly.

But Unit-00, who was supposed to be heartless and without intelligence, seemed to be able to understand. Two rays of light flashed in his eyes, and an A.T. force field more powerful than Unit-00 and Unit-2 combined at full blast erupted from his body. He faced the apostle in front of him.

... And just after Unit 1 broke into the battlefield, in the underground command post, Ikari Yuantang's face was gloomier than ever before: "Unit 1... Yui, did you choose our son after all? !" On the other side of the combat command room, the monitor next to Misato Katsuragi exclaimed: "Okay, what a powerful A.T. Field! Shinji Ikari actually connected his A.T. Field to Unit 1, and the two formed a connection. Some kind of unknown resonance, the strength of the force field suddenly increased by more than ten times, and it is still rising!" "..." Katsuragi Misato listened to the announcement in her ears and looked at the one displayed on the big screen! Being familiar with the figure, I couldn't help but subconsciously hold the cross hanging on my chest: "Shinji-kun, is this your real power!" Let's work hard! )... Regardless of what the audience thought, when Shinji Ikari gave the order, Unit 1, holding the double helix spear, flew towards the tenth apostle.

The equally powerful and inhuman A.T. force fields of the two inhuman beings collided fiercely (harmoniously), but it was obvious that the A.T. force field released by Unit 1 under the blessing of Shinji Ikari was far superior to that of the Tenth Apostle. .

Even though this apostle seems to be an individual after the fusion of two apostles, both its combat effectiveness and A.T. field strength are much improved compared to the original version, but it is still no match for Unit 1.

With just one shot, after the edge of the gun blade attached with the sharp A.T. force field was swept, the barrel-shaped body of the tenth apostle was diagonally expanded from the core, almost split into two halves.

"Is this a win?!" Asuka, who was watching in Unit 2, was shocked. The apostle who had fought so hard just now was defeated so easily? Is the combination of Shinji Ikari + Unit-00 too awesome, or are they two too weak? However, Ayanami Rei, who also saw this scene on the battlefield, had a different view: "No, it's not over yet! Shinji-kun, be careful!" Sure enough, before he could finish his words, the apostle's body was cut in half instantly. It turned into a blood-red liquid, and after a burst of squirming, it condensed into one again, recovering from the injury in an instant, and was about to counterattack Unit 1 in the blink of an eye.

Listening to the warning sound from Unit-00's external speaker, Shinji Ikari seemed to have expected it: "Sure enough, I felt familiar when I saw those tentacles. Sure enough... The whole body has been transformed into the core. Are the two angels fused with each other..." Shinji Ikari remembered an experience fourteen years later in a certain reincarnation. At that time, he was still young and was tricked by his father to ride the EVA again. Finally, he entered the bottom of NERV headquarters and found the sealed Unit-06 and the twelfth angel who coexisted with Unit-06.

The appearance of the apostle was very similar to the tentacles behind the tenth angel in front of him, and just like the tenth angel just now, his whole body was full of cores, and there was no concept of vital points.

"But, that's all, but it can't save your life!" Shinji Ikari's eyes were cold, and with his thoughts, Unit-01, which had already burst out with an unprecedentedly strong A.T. force field, once again burst out with even greater power. The force field flashing with colorful light suddenly deformed and turned into a big mouth, swallowing the entire Tenth Angel in one gulp.

The next moment, huge pressure crushed the Tenth Angel from all directions, crushing all its resistance, and even crushing its body, crushing it from a tangible body into an amorphous blood-red liquid, revealing its true nature.

Looking at the huge blood-red sphere, Shinji Ikari could feel the desire instinct from Unit-01's body.

It was longing for this core, longing to swallow it, which would make up for its defects and allow it to hope to become a true "God".

However, knowing the consequences of doing so, Shinji Ikari decisively suppressed this instinctive desire of Unit-01.

"I'm sorry, this time, I don't need to do this!" Ikari Shinji said so, and pointed his finger. The invisible wave carried his will, sweeping across the amorphous blood-red liquid inch by inch, completely annihilating the will hidden in it.

After that, the liquid that was still struggling and squirming even after its body was crushed finally lost its vitality, gradually shrinking and condensing into a red sphere slightly larger than the EVA core.

"The truly pure fruit of life without external will is a treasure for any existence... But for me, it has no meaning!" Ikari Shinji, who had made a decision, stretched out his hand and clenched it hard. The core sphere symbolizing the "fruit of life" suddenly cracked like a crystal crushed by heavy pressure, and finally collapsed suddenly.

After dealing with the apostle who had brought him great pain, Ikari Shinji did not stop, but controlled Unit-01 to move towards the central large vertical groove.

...　　"What does he want to do?"　　In the command post, Misato Katsuragi watched Shinji Ikari casually destroy the extremely powerful Tenth Angel, watched him shatter the red core sphere that undoubtedly concealed a huge secret, and then saw him coming towards NERV's last line of defense, and suddenly a bad premonition arose in her heart.

"Shinji-kun, what are you going to do?!"　　Misato Katsuragi's questioning voice came from the remaining broadcasting equipment in the underground cave.

In response, Shinji Ikari did not give an answer, but just controlled Unit-01 to move forward, with a ray of determination flashing in his eyes-this time, he wanted to completely solve the root of all this! 　　Three more complete')523'\u003eChapter 522 Shinji, you calculated me!!!

"This kid..."　　In the NERV headquarters command post, seeing Shinji Ikari's actions, Deputy Commander Fuyutsuki's face was a little surprised, he could probably guess what the other party wanted to do.

Ikari Gendō also noticed what Shinji Ikari wanted to do.

"Order Unit-0 and Unit-2 to take action immediately to stop Unit-01 and Shinji Ikari from entering the central vertical trench! Don't hold back, it doesn't matter if you kill them!" He issued such an order without hesitation.

"Huh?" Asuka, who was on the battlefield above, was just relieved because the battle was over, but she didn't expect to hear such an order right after that, and she was stunned.
