EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from the Dragon Clan - Chapter 248 Chapter 246 The Sixth Apostle, Annihilation

The body of the apostle outside the palm of Unit-01 was twisting wildly, trying to escape from the giant's palm. Even the other end of its tentacles that had already invaded the body of Unit-00 were quickly withdrawing. The flesh and blood of the pale head imitating Rei Ayanami was no longer growing, but shrinking rapidly.

At this moment, the beam of light in Unit-01's hand was about to completely collapse.

Click click click.

A series of sharp and intensive cracking sounds were heard.

"This is much better than the particle knife."

Ikari Shinji thought.

Even though this part of the body lost is only a few tens of times smaller than the Angel's body length of over a thousand meters, it would not take too much time for Unit-01 to repeat this action dozens of times.

Just keep going like this!He made up his mind and Unit-01 took a step forward.

A huge hole appeared in Unit-0's chest, and one could even see the scenery behind it. That was the part that the 16th Angel had invaded before. Even if it pulled back its tentacles, the damage it had caused could not be healed. Unit-0's flesh and blood from below the heart to the pelvis had all disappeared. In the short moment before, the Angel's invading tentacles had devoured all of these parts.

Only some flesh remained at the waist and abdomen, connecting the upper and lower halves of the body.

If a human had received such a large wound, he would have died on the spot. Even for Unit 00, there was a possibility that the entire machine would be scrapped.

"Quickly cut off Li's neural synchronization!"

The cockpit of Rei Ayanami suddenly became dark.

Her frown also relaxed a little, but now Ayanami Rei was in the cockpit without any resistance. As long as the apostle paid attention to this, the headquarters would lose a pilot. Fortunately, the light band suspended in the sky was fighting with Unit-01 and didn't care about Unit-00 lying on the ground.

"Ikari-kun."

Rei Ayanami looked at everything on the battlefield with difficulty.

At this moment.

Instead, Ayanami Rei was more concerned about the illusion that had appeared in her mind before.

The image from Lilith in her mind no longer showed the giant with seven eyes, but her own appearance. A girl who looked like her was standing naked in the orange-red pool, staring at her. What was going on? She originally thought that this was caused by the invasion of the apostle. But after it retracted its light pillar tentacles, the image in her mind did not change much.

At the same time, the pain came like a tide, making Ayanami Rei's tired eyelids want to close.

The sound of the tide is in my ears.

An overly familiar feeling.

Last time, in the middle of the night, Ayanami Rei had experienced this in her dream. The white giant was attracting her back. Ikari-kun said that she felt like she had found a fairy in feathered robes and wanted to fly to the moon. But at that time, he was calling in her ear, but this time, the boy who was fighting could not notice her.

Ayanami Rei opened her eyes.

Opposite him was someone who looked just like him.

Like copies of each other, exactly the same in appearance and figure, the two girls with blue hair and red eyes looked at each other in the darkness.

"Do you want to become one with me?" After a long while, He spoke first.

"Who are you?"

"No." Ayanami Rei shook her head firmly, "I am me, not you."

"Really? But it's too late." He said, "I give you my heart, and I share my feelings with you. It hurts, doesn't it? See, my heart hurts, doesn't it?"

A certain emotion emanated from the person opposite.

She didn't understand the nonsense at all. But as if they were connected, the emotion suddenly passed to her. Ayanami Rei frowned, feeling this sudden strong emotion."Pain? No, it's unwillingness."

"Not reconciled?"

"You want to live forever and stay with the person you love forever, right? But you can't do that. Doesn't it feel good?" He said.

"Is this what you mean by unwillingness?"

“This is your heart, a heart full of longing.”

"of course."

She nodded gently and held out her hand.

……

Unit-01 stretched out its hand.

It kept trying to pierce the body, but it kept missing it.

Although the tip of the Angel was broken by Unit-01, after losing several dozen meters of its body, it quickly converted the part behind the tip into a new light beam tentacle. The other end that was retracted from Unit-0 was also aimed at the purple-green giant.

Both ends were used to attack Unit-01, making the battle more difficult.

Shinji Ikari's eye twitched, but it wasn't because of this. It was because he noticed from the corner of his eye that there was a big hole in Unit-00's chest. This was the first time Rei Ayanami had been injured so seriously... She should be hospitalized for a long time, right? Fortunately, it wasn't in the cockpit. Couldn't it have been unfrozen earlier? Hey, hey, hey, hey, he's not some policeman who came to clean up the mess at the last minute, but one of the saviors who turned the tide!He felt very heavy-hearted when Rei Ayanami was seriously injured.

Shinji Ikari thought. Bang, bang, bang.

Heavy bullets flew through the air, trying to interfere with the apostle's attack.

——It was Unit 2 that was shooting from a distance. Since Unit 0 had lost its combat capability, it was now Asuka who was neutralizing the AT field and providing long-range support.

To be honest, this is her first time in this position.

This position is totally useless.

Asuka looked at the bullets she had fired in anger, but the Sixteenth Angel ignored her and its hard body ignored her attacks. The bullets hit its body, causing only a little smoke and dust. Asuka couldn't sit still after shooting for a while, and wanted to get in close combat.

"hateful."

She gritted her teeth.

Looking around, Unit-01 was constantly flashing and moving on the battlefield, occasionally taking the opportunity to give the Angel a hard blow. Every flash of the purple-green body was accompanied by a thunderous roar.

The screaming sound of the Apostle's Light Column is unique.

It was an extremely terrifying roar.

When Asuka shot, she saw the beam of light fly past Unit-01, embed itself into the special road below, plow a deep ditch on it, and then violently retract it, and then pierce the body of the machine again at high speed. The battlefield was already in a mess.

But Shinji Ikari acted quite relaxed.

Unit 01 is at full power.

The giant fighting with the apostles at this time seemed to be synonymous with strength. The ferocious body had a streamlined beauty. The purple-green cold glow was dotted with golden stars on the head. The horn-like armor on the head of the body pointed to the sky like a god-king fighter. The wind in the gap of the armor was as sharp as a blade. The apostles did not attack Unit-01 once. Not only that, Unit-01 had enough strength to twist the light column - Unit-02's power could not do such a thing, and even with the help of the particle knife, it could not leave any trace.

Is this the Unit-01 after it consumed the Angel Core?

The previous 14th Angel was annihilated after Unit-01 ate its core. This was the first time this machine fought at full strength. She recalled the scene when she fought side by side with this machine before. At that time, Unit-01 did not have such terrifying power and speed.

Hey Shinji, you're a little off the mark...

Unit-01 has completely gained the upper hand.

Pure numbers.

Even though the Angel tried to parasitize Unit-01 several times, as long as the unit exerted a little force, the light pillar tentacles could not continue to parasitize and would immediately withdraw from it. If they really wanted to parasitize Unit-01 successfully, it would probably have to stand there without resistance for five or six seconds before it could succeed.

But will the No. 1 opportunity give the apostles this chance?will not!

The apostles were losing ground.

It was literally losing ground. Its light beams were caught by Unit-01, and then Shinji Ikari used the same trick to twist them into a cracked dough, as if the body of the apostle was not something harder than steel that even the particle knife could not break, but soft dough that was pulled into strips. Unconsciously, the force of the light beam had weakened a lot. In this regard, its amazing recovery ability was no longer effective.

The apostle was left with only half of his original length.

"The Apostle's AT field is weakening."

"If we keep going like this, we'll be wiped out soon."

"Great."

At this point, anyone could see that the battle had already been won or lost, and it was just struggling to survive. The weak apostle could only cause minor injuries even if he hit Unit-01 with all his strength, and only a few minutes had passed.

A certain moment.

Unit-01 finally caught the middle section of the light band.

Just like grabbing a snake's weak spot, the apostle struggled even harder and more frantically. However, Ikari Shinji ignored the attacking light pillars at both ends, because this was the core of the apostle in his intuition. As long as this was destroyed, the apostle could be killed.

Unit-01 began to exert force with its palm.

It took only a few seconds from the initial faint sound to the loud noise that resounded through the sky. During this time, the tentacles surrounded the machine like a python, and began to compress it like a meat grinder. The fragile sound of armor breaking came from inside, but it was too late. Unit-01's movements were much faster than the speed of its strangulation. Soon, the apostle was completely motionless and fell limply from the body of the machine.

The purple-green machine gradually peeled off the remnants of the light band, revealing the full appearance of the machine.

"What's going on? How are the apostles?" asked Misato Katsuragi.

The sixteenth apostle.

Has been annihilated!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the report.

After the freeze was lifted, Unit-01, as usual, took no time to kill the Angel. The only possible damage to the headquarters was Unit-0. With such a big hole in the chest and abdomen, it is not impossible to directly scrap it. Even if it is repaired, its performance is estimated to be reduced by a level.

Logistics and medical personnel headed towards the battlefield to prepare for the aftermath.

Shinji Ikari doesn't care about these things. He only cares about the beautiful girl who belongs to him. He looks in the direction of Unit 0 and is very worried.

"Ayanami..."

Ayanami Rei hasn't spoken in the communication channel for a long time. She may have fainted in the cockpit due to excessive pain. We need to rescue her quickly.
