EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from the Dragon Clan - Chapter 247 Chapter 245 The Seventh Apostle Came to Earth

On the way to the ground by tracks, his second contact with Unit-01 gradually came to an end. In front of him was no longer the glowing interior of the cockpit, but a broad view of a giant standing on the ground. The blue sky and white clouds on the distant horizon formed a line, and the two machines were dangerously confronting the Angel.

He felt that his five senses were connected with the giant, vision, hearing... the experience was completely different from the virtual machine in the simulation training.

After more than a month, I am driving this giant again.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

The giant roared in response.

This made him a little surprised - it seemed that since eating the Angel Core, Unit-01 had completely "come back to life". Instead of staying quietly in the pool all day and occasionally staring at him, it could now make such an obvious response.

Then his vision began to rise.

Entered that white spiritual world again.

Shinji Ikari was not too surprised by this result - because hybrids also have a similar origin.

At this time he looked up at the sky with some confusion.

There was no gaze from the moon this time, but he felt someone was watching him. Soon, Ikari Shinji turned his head to look in a certain direction, because the gaze was not from the sky, but from the ground far away.

A man and an apostle stared at each other across thousands of miles.

That apostle has come to Earth.

It was just that it was not the 16th Angel in front of him, but other new Angels. At this moment, He was in a corner of the earth, watching the battlefield. Ikari Shinji carefully felt the distance, it was very far from Japan, at least he didn't have to worry about other Angels joining the battle when he fought the 16th Angel.

…But maybe we’ll meet next time.

Then he turned his head and looked up at the sky. Although there was no one there just now, he saw something incredible. In the silent and deserted space, there was a white dot moving in a circle around the earth, which was not there last time.

Is it alive?Even this thing has a spiritual will? Such a thought flashed through his mind, but Shinji Ikari didn't pay too much attention to it. Now it was more important to fight the apostles.

His vision began to fade.

The Sixteenth Angel also immediately noticed the purple-green machine that had just appeared on the battlefield.

The light pillar tentacles that were originally intended to attack Unit 2 rolled towards Unit 01 at lightning speed, and the pale head of Rei Ayanami that had grown from Unit 0's chest looked over here crookedly. At this moment, Unit 01 finally moved, and the body ran towards the battlefield heroically, with the giant's long strides as if it was about to collide head-on with the light pillar.

The beam of light and the machine are about to touch.

And at this moment, Unit 01 simply maneuvered to the right and immediately crossed more than ten meters. The apostle's attack narrowly missed the giant, and the beam of light continued to pierce backwards with its remaining power, leaving a terrifying huge pit on the ground with a bang, the sound was almost deafening.

Asuka looked over here.

Although the bleeding of Unit 2's left foot had stopped, it could only half-squat in place, taking a defensive posture. Only the right foot was left for maneuvering. If it was the left hand that was missing, it would not affect the maneuverability too much, but the loss of a foot would have a huge impact.

"Not very good..." Although Asuka was unwilling to admit defeat, she still answered his question obediently without trying to be brave. "Shinji, if it continues to attack me, I may not be able to escape this time."

"Then withdraw from the battlefield first."

"……Um."

Unit 2 lost its left foot.

She stayed on the battlefield, but she couldn't help much, and she might need Unit-01 to take care of her. Asuka was unwilling, but she was not the kind of person who would hold back. She controlled Unit-02, facing the Angel directly to prevent it from suddenly attacking her during the retreat, and the unit limped away from the battlefield.

Next, she could only shoot from a distance like Rei Ayanami did to put pressure on the apostles.

Don't even think about close combat.

During the retreat, Unit-02's speed slowed down noticeably. If the Angels hadn't focused their attention on Unit-0 and Unit-01, there would have been one more unit that was invaded.

After Unit 0 was invaded, its entire light band seemed to have found a host and gathered around Unit 0. From a distance, the yellow-white body looked like it was surrounded by the apostles, and the white light band was like a ball of yarn, trapping Unit 0 inside. Where would the core be?

If you can't find the core point of a kilometer-long light belt, you have to cut every part, which is very tiring. He had the same question as Asuka. Ikari Shinji looked at the middle of the light belt. In this regard, he and Asuka were surprisingly consistent. It would be absolutely right to cut there.

Moreover, the intuition from Unit-01 suggests that it is the most attractive place.

Unit 01 continues to maneuver forward!The purple-green giant ran wildly on the battlefield, with a straight posture and very few false moves. He only dodged slightly at the critical moment, and soon came to the vicinity of Unit 0. In front of him was the pale head of Ayanami Rei, who was staring at the neck of Unit 01 and smiling strangely.

Shinji Ikari looked at the flesh and blood that proliferated from Unit 0, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should take action. After a second or two, he hesitated and chopped it down with a knife.

puff-

Under the pale head is red flesh.

It was as smooth as a hot knife cutting butter. This part of the body that had grown out was not as hard as the original body. He was originally worried that if this part was hurt, Rei Ayanami would also be able to feel it at the same time. But the girl did not have any abnormalities in the communication channel, so Shinji Ikari was relieved.

"I'm sorry, Ikari-kun."

After all, it was something that the Apostle had multiplied with the help of Unit-0. If only she hadn't been invaded... Rei Ayanami's heart was filled with regret. She didn't think about the performance of Unit-0 and would only take all the responsibility on herself. Because the chest part was invaded, the entire machine could not move at this moment.

The only thing they could do was wait for Unit-01's rescue and cut off the invading Angel's light tentacles.

...or just annihilate the apostles directly.

He was concentrating on staring at the Apostle. After Unit-01 cut off the proliferated body, it did not stop at all. It found the center of the light band and moved a few times to get close to it. One end of the Apostle's light beam tentacle invaded Unit-0's body. Now only the other end could be used to attack - using the teammates' bodies to restrict the enemy's activities was also a good idea.

Just be careful to avoid being parasitized.

Watch for the right moment.

——The particle knife chopped down fiercely!

In the command room.

Misato Katsuragi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this scene.

If even Unit-01 couldn't cause any damage, then she could only hope that the unit would go berserk again and directly devour the core of the Angel. But Unit-01 in that form was too terrifying. She recalled the last time Unit-01 went berserk, mad, bloody, and hideous... No matter who it was, that horrible nightmare would surely leave a deep impression on them.

Unlike her who was relieved, Shinji Ikari felt very stressed.

He missed the Spear of Longinus in space. Although he was just a spectator when the fifteenth apostle was annihilated, he still had an estimate of the sharpness of the spear. If it was the Spear of Longinus, this apostle might have been cut in half by now.

really.

The big crack in the apostle's body gradually healed.

In a few seconds, the wound caused by Unit-01 was completely healed by its amazing recovery ability. This was the most annoying thing about the apostle. Even if he continued to chop, the damage he caused might not be as fast as it recovered.

What was stronger than the particle blade was the body of Unit-01 itself. Just like the last time when it bit the 14th Angel, Unit-01's own teeth were sharper than the blade. He stared at the light pillar tentacles that attacked the Angel again. In the previous attack, it seemed that only the tip of the light pillar had the terrifying parasitic ability. If it was just the pure white body, it would not have that ability, it was just a little harder. Thinking of this, he did not dodge this time.

The purple-green machine faced the light tentacles head-on.

Just as it was about to touch the body, Unit-01 seized the opportunity and grabbed the part behind the tip with both hands in 0.001 seconds. However, the tip of the tentacle suddenly grew a lot and went towards the chest of the body. Even now, the apostle still has a hidden trick.

But Unit-01's hands have begun to tighten.

The beam of light at the back was twitching and dancing wildly like a long whip. Its huge length reminded people of the thousand-meter-long sea snakes in the movies. Even though it didn't have snake scales, it was constantly twisting like a reptile, trying to destroy everything in front of it.

Fire flashed and the wind howled.

Click click click.

Under the huge force of Unit-01, its body showed a kind of twisted cracks, as if the steel was twisted after being heated to the extreme. In this situation, the apostle was no longer able to invade the body of Unit-01. The light pillar tentacles that had slightly penetrated the body struggled to withdraw and stay away from the huge force of Unit-01.
