Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 2120 The Demise of SEELE!
"Traveling to space?!"

Upon hearing this news, Asuka, who was already eager to try, became excited.

Ignoring her shame, she quickly grabbed He Ming's arm and asked rapidly.

"Are we going to board that ten-kilometer-long spaceship? I heard that the inside of that spaceship is like a city, it's huge."

"Are you referring to the Argonot? That's correct."

He Ming nodded and smiled.

"The Argonot is indeed the largest warship in the human alliance fleet. It is at least ten kilometers long and has all the facilities and supplies needed for human survival. Well, according to the data we have obtained about the Argonot, even if the Argonot were lost in space, its internal environment and resources could support human survival for at least several hundred years."

"Amazing!!"

Shinji Ikari exclaimed in surprise.

"I never imagined there were such powerful spaceships in the universe. It's practically a city."

"It is indeed a city. It's just that this city has been turned into a spaceship."

He Ming suddenly remembered that Kongo and Maya's fog battleships were constantly circling around the Argonot and Altea, presumably because they wanted to use these two huge battleships as a blueprint to design new battleships for the Azure Fleet.

"So that means we'll have to live up there for a very long time? Meow?"

Mari blinked, looking at He Ming expectantly.

"Well, I'm not sure of the exact details, but it will take two or three years."

Based on the timeline of the Human Alliance Fleet, one of their cycles is equivalent to two Earth years on the Human Earth Alliance side.

If the subsequent actions proceed smoothly, two Earth years are also possible.

After all, navigating the Path of Stars takes time.

"Two or three years! I do need to prepare some things."

Mari gestured, secretly planning what to take with her when she left.

Whether or not these EVA candidates will be stopped by NERV is simply irrelevant.

After experiencing a glimpse of Autenmia's combat power firsthand, the EVA pilots all knew that if a real battle broke out, NEVR would be nothing more than a paper tiger that could be easily destroyed.

Rei Ayanami, on the other hand, appeared very calm.

He Ming was not in a hurry to contact Rei Ayanami.

After all, to bring Rei Ayanami back to life, at the very least, she needs to be kept away from a certain sinful man.

"You are free to stay here and rest for the next few days, or perhaps have a few simulated battles with Messitaka. Once the orders arrive, you will proceed to space."

Seeing that it was almost time, He Ming took his leave and gestured for Nagisa Kaoru to follow.

Kaworu understood, greeted Shinji Ikari, and then followed Heming onto the helicopter sent by the Human Earth Alliance, leaving the beach.

Shinji Ikari, Asuka Langley Soryu, and the others had no idea what Kaworu Nagisa had done with Heming.

All the EVA candidates knew was that they received orders, or messages, from NERV the following day.

NERV was disbanded, with only the department that supported EVA in continuing operations remaining, and it followed EVA into space.

Behind this news, special forces units, fully equipped and ready to go, set off from all over Super Earth to launch surprise attacks on all the locations mentioned by Kaworu.

"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat!!!"

Gunshots rang out, and amidst the flashes of light, the SEELE executives, who had been maintaining a connection with Gendo Ikari, lost contact with the company amidst screams.

On the table surrounded by a large screen, Gendo Ikari maintained his usual posture.

But at this moment, what he heard was not an accountability from SEELE's top management, but screams of agony.

"Gendo Ikari!! You betrayed us!!!"

The screams coming from the hiding places of SEELE executives around the world startled those who had not been attacked.

"Gentlemen, if I were you, I should take refuge first, not hold anyone accountable."

Gendo Ikari removed his glasses, took a rag from his pocket to wipe them, and sat up straight, saying in a deep voice, "Traitor!! Traitor!!!"

"No, I am not a traitor!"

Gendo Ikari put on his cleaned glasses and stood up.

“I have never revealed your location.”

"Besides you, who else..."

A terrified scream came from a screen displaying the number 01.

"It's you!!! Kaworu Nagisa!!!"

"Bang!!"

With a single gunshot, SEELE's beautiful dream shattered.

Meanwhile, the remaining SEELE executives were also engulfed in a burst of ear-piercing gunfire.

In an instant, all communication signals from SEELE's upper management were lost, with only the signal from 01 remaining in communication.

"Kaworu Nagisa. Did you make all of this?"

Gendo Ikari's voice was a little hoarse.

"Yes, it was me. I was the one who told the marshal their locations."

"why?"

A flame rose in Gendo Ikari's throat.

"why?"

On the other end of the communication line, Kaworu Nagisa gradually revealed a smile.

Why not ask the people around you?

Gendo Ikari was startled; the man who would remain unfazed even if Mount Tai collapsed before him took two steps back.

His gaze was so unsteady, and his facial muscles trembled incessantly.

Because the person Kaworu was talking about was standing right there.

Gendo Ikari trembled slightly, then slowly took a step and walked towards the figure.

But when he reached out to touch the other person, the person in front of him disappeared.

Gendo Ikari's face gradually became ferocious.

"You know all of this, don't you, Kaworu Nagisa?!"

"So what if you know? Now, your persistent Human Instrumentality Project can no longer continue. The spacetime turbulence, and the World Tree from the Morning Wind Elves, are constantly protecting the solar system."

Kaworu's voice came slowly from the other end of the communication.

"Your persistent Instrumentality Project does indeed possess the power to reshape destiny. However, forces from higher dimensions are now influencing this universe. Your ambitions are utterly insignificant before these higher-dimensional powers!"

After saying that, Kaworu disconnected the communication, picked up his pistol, and looked at the man who was clinging to his last breath.

"It's a pity! SEELE's ambition, which has been passed down for thousands of years, has come to an end."

"Why...why did you do this?"

"As...as an apostle, why did you try to stop me...?"

"Bah!"

Kaworu offered no explanation, but instead directly granted the other party eternal death.

"The completion plan ends here. SEELE should also be swept into the dustbin of history."

From then on, there would be no more SEELE remnants on Super Earth.
