Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 2117 Conceptual-Level Simulation War!
After placing the brothers under house arrest, Deannara attended a welcoming ceremony held by the Human Earth Alliance as a diplomatic envoy of the Human United Fleet.

During this time, the footage of the exchange between the two sides, as well as the relevant information compiled by the Human Earth Alliance, were sent back to the Human Council in the rear by the joint efforts of the Argonot and the Altea.

It is believed that the Human Council will be greatly encouraged when it sees that humanity's home planet is not just one, and that humanity is not alone, but has compatriots from different parallel worlds extending a helping hand.

However, while official exchanges have their own methods, a special meeting was also taking place on the other side, unseen by the world.

Messitaka looked at He Ming with some fear.

"Do we really have to do this? What if we can't stop ourselves?"

He Ming patted Messitaka's shoulder forcefully.

"Don't worry. They're not that fragile! Besides, this is just practice, not a real battle."

As He Ming spoke, he gestured with his eyes to Aiji, who was swimming back and forth on the sea not far away, looking exactly like a great white shark that had come to life.

"Are you suggesting that Edge should practice against them?"

Messitaka was speechless for a moment.

While this sounds reasonable, apart from He Ming's Cheng Ying·Lie Kong and Gunbuster, it seems that the Earth Alliance's mechs really can't withstand a single iron punch from Belcros.

Even Cheng Ying·Lie Kong needs to activate all buffs before he can face Belcros head-on.

But···
Doesn't this prove, in a sense, that Messitaka's attack is so weak that he's good for sparring?
Messitaka blinked, looking like he wanted to say something but couldn't.

"Don't worry! Messitaka, you are strong, and so is Autenmia. It's just that you hesitate because you don't want to hurt more lives."

"Besides, that's precisely why everyone trusts you and Autenmia so much, believing that you can stop in the heat of battle and help everyone grow the most in the simulation battle, isn't that right?"

After much persuasion from He Ming, Messitaka finally agreed to become a sparring partner, assisting the pilots of the Human Earth Alliance in quickly adapting to how to deal with the attacks of Noldos and preserving themselves as much as possible under the attack.

Yes.

From the beginning, He Ming did not train the Earth Alliance's mobile suit forces with the intention of killing Nodos or being on par with Nodos. Instead, he asked Messitaka to help the Earth Alliance's pilots adapt to Nodos's attack and action patterns in order to improve their survival rate.

From a small, fishpond-like battlefield in the planetary system, to a vast battlefield on a cosmic scale, anything can happen.

"Big guy that glows!! Come fight me and Unit 2!!"

After the Black Hole Crisis, Asuka, who hadn't engaged in a single real battle, immediately applied to He Ming upon learning that she could fight Nodos, requesting to be the first to have a match with Autenmia.

Looking at Asuka on the other side of the screen, who was overjoyed and didn't even allow He Ming to refuse, He Ming smiled wryly and agreed to Asuka's request.

Moreover, since a battle was inevitable anyway, He Ming simply ordered NERV to bring all the EVAs to participate in the fight.

In response, Gendo Ikari, who had been a spectator in most major battles, sat in silence for an entire night before finally agreeing.

Perhaps it's because the world is undergoing another dramatic change, or perhaps it's because at this moment, the entire solar system is under the protection of the World Tree of the Morning Star Elves, and those apostles seem to have disappeared without a trace, with no possibility of them ever appearing before NERV again.

Even though Gendo Ikari wanted to take a gamble and try to use the Spear of Longinus to break through the barrier of the world and attract the attention of the Angels, it had no effect.

With the Angels now rejected by this chaotic world beyond description, NERV's attempt to implement the Human Instrumentality Project seems to have become obsolete.

The reason SEELE is still able to exist and continue operating is because it still holds onto a last glimmer of hope.

This hope vanished with the arrival of Deannara and the Human Union Fleet. The Human Instrumentality Project?

Did you expect that humanity in this world has already traveled all over the universe?
Which human race are you trying to complete?

Earth?

Oh, sorry.

The Human Earth Alliance alone already has three Earths.

If we add the original Earth to this world, then there are four Earths.

A human completion plan for four Earths?
How many apostles would it take to finish this task?

Moreover, the apostles themselves only have thirteen heads!
While the Human Instrumentality Project is being carried out on one of Earths, will the other Earths interfere?

Or perhaps, what if Nodos, who can destroy a star with a single punch, takes a dislike to you and smashes your entire operation with one punch?
The clearer reality became, the more difficult it seemed for Gendo Ikari to complete the Human Instrumentality Project, and he eventually silently gave up his convictions.

After sitting in silence all night, Gendo Ikari was surprised to find that the person he was looking for had been by his side all along.

The four EVAs arrived together over the island where Nodos was to relax, transported by a transport plane.

At that moment, all four EVAs raised their heads and stared at the figure standing on the beach, who was exceptionally small but posed a great threat to all four EVAs.

"That's Nodos? He looks quite small!"

Inside Unit 2, Asuka looked Messitaka up and down, muttering to herself.

"Don't underestimate Messitaka, Asuka. Besides, he's a guest, so show him some respect!"

"Yes, Marshal! But, it's time for a simulated battle! Let's fight one first!"

After giving a crisp and clear reply, Mingri immediately made contact with the transport plane with high morale, and performed the scene of the second plane parachuting in.

Seeing this, He Ming sighed helplessly.

"Mesitaka, go a little harder later, so Asuka will learn her lesson."

Messitaka paused, then asked cautiously.

"is this okay?"

"It's alright! It's just a few days in bed. It's good to teach Asuka a lesson. In the battles of space, you can't just walk away unscathed by acting recklessly."

"Oh well!"

Messitaka looked up at Unit 2, which was falling from the sky and crashing heavily into the bay, creating a column of water, and slowly nodded.

"Please! Austria!!"

The Heroes race responded instantly to the call, and as endless radiance soared into the sky, a concept-level creature from the other side of the starry sky appeared before EVA Unit-02.
