EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from Tiga

Chapter 81 Darkness and Disaster Corresponding to Ultraman
“…WUA!”

I don't know if the Angel felt any pain... but the heavy blow of Shinji Ikari grabbing its right arm, throwing it high up, and then slamming it hard on the ground did shake Unit 03's head severely... Even the strength it had to pull back its captured right hand weakened a lot.

"...!"

Suddenly, I felt a sharp, sharp pain in my wrist. It turned out to be a thick, bluish-purple liquid secreted from the right hand of Unit 03, which I was tightly gripping. Is it corrosive?

One could even subtly feel... that this thing was trying to penetrate through the skin and into Tiga's body.

If - I were driving an EVA to fight this thing... it would definitely be dangerous, but... how could Tiga be fooled by such a despicable trick?
The palm of his hand condensed the energy of light, and under the effect of the holy purifying light... the secretions of the Ninth Apostle were purified completely in an instant, without even a trace of dirt left.

“WUuuuuu——!”

Realizing that the corrosive substance it secreted was ineffective, Unit 03 once again returned to the realm of hand-to-hand combat... Its entire body leaped into the air like a catapult, and it extended its left hand and launched it towards it.

With a flip of his wrist, he chopped down his palm, which was condensed with shining light - Tiga's powerful hand knife!

It was powerful enough to sever the horns of a Gakuma and destroy the head of an Enomina... The hand blade that had cut through countless ferocious monsters was no match for an enemy of the Apostle's caliber...

With a devastating force, he cleaved Unit-03's left arm in two from the center... Not giving Unit-03 any chance to scream or struggle, he took advantage of the moment when the attack from the left arm was neutralized—

With a force of his right hand, he pulled the body of Unit 03 directly in front of Tiga.

"You really love causing trouble for others! Stupid Touji...!"

With a single swipe of the knife, the armor on Unit 03's back was completely severed... The area where the plug should have been was now densely covered in a bluish-purple viscous substance, devouring it to the point where the plug could no longer be found...

A parasitic apostle... these bluish-purple jelly-like things, are they the true form of the Ninth Angel?!

Anyway... let's separate the plug first...

Just as Tiga was about to reach his left hand into the blue substance to search for the plug—

"Varied…!?"

A pair of thick and ferocious arms clamped Tiga's neck.

Even though Unit 03's right hand was still under Tiga's control, its left hand had been cut in half by the knife... This guy actually managed to grow a pair of new arms from his shoulders...!?

“Really, the ghost won’t go away!!”

But... no matter what tricks the Ninth Angel has... they are meaningless in the face of Ultraman Tiga's overly powerful combat power.

There was no need to use any strength to fight back. The still warm Ultraman hand knife flashed again, easily cutting off the second pair of arms that were strangling Tiga's neck.

In order to prevent Unit 03 from continuing to resist, Tiga once again threw Unit 03 to the ground, held down its body with his right hand, and inserted his left hand into the blue sticky substance covering the insertion.

Waves of burning pain came from my fingertips... Fortunately, I was fighting this apostle as an Ultraman, otherwise I really don’t know how to save that idiot Dongzhi...

"...?!"

It was clearly a crucial moment, no... or rather, the moment when Shinji Ikari reached into the Angel's interior, groping for the plug and unable to remove it easily...

"EVA Unit 4, launch!!"

At Ikari Gendō's command, the pure white EVA Unit 04 was launched from the Matsushiro base.

And——a weapon as large as a solar particle cannon was mounted on its shoulder, aiming at Tiga and Unit 03.

“…Is that okay?”

Unit 4 was inserted into the plug, and Kaworu Nagisa once again looked at Gendo Ikari with an unhappy face to confirm.

"No problem. Whether it's an apostle... or an unknown life form, they are all enemies we need to defeat."

Ikari Gendō answered in the affirmative without hesitation.

"Fire."

"...But, Suzuhara-kun is still inside Unit 03." "When did you become as stupid as them? SEELE's ace? - Fire, follow orders!"

In an instant...the DSS collar on Kaworu Nagisa's neck flashed silently a few times.

Nagisa Kaworu could only smile bitterly... So, in order to eliminate the existence that was not recorded in the Dead Sea Scrolls... those old men were so frightened that they handed over the power of life and death to Ikari Gendō.

There's nothing I can do - I'm not afraid of death, but... if I just end this story like this, I'll miss out on so much.

"I'm sorry... Shinji-kun - I hope you don't hate me..."

Muttering this, Nagisa Kaworu put his finger on the trigger - the D4 particle cannon specially designed to deal with Tiga.

"...Really? You're causing trouble at a time like this?"

Shinji Ikari glared at EVA Unit 04 with some dissatisfaction, but... he did not stop what he was doing.

As the light energy from his wrist was injected... the bluish-purple apostle that was attached to Unit 03 like a thorn in its side visibly withered.

The purple-blue gel that had almost completely surrounded EVA Unit 03 had now melted by more than half, and Suzuhara Touji's insertion plug was also exposed... Only one step was needed to completely remove the insertion plug from the apostle's grasp.

Therefore, Shinji Ikari did not intend to pay attention to the attack of EVA Unit 04... The situation was quite urgent. To be honest... With the EVAs and conventional weapons of humans in this world, whether it was a rifle or a high-frequency particle dagger... they could not hurt Tiga's body.

Even if I just stand still, I can't break through the defense. Even if he has a positive particle cannon... at most I can just open a shield myself and that's it. First, rescue Suzuhara Touji... that's the top priority, and the rest can be done later... !!!
But—the moment Nagisa Kaworu pulled the trigger, a stream of purple-black light that seemed to crush even the dimension gathered in front of Unit 04...

Shinji Ikari knew he was wrong.

A momentary strategic misjudgment will lead to irreversible consequences.

That weapon was not one humans could possess... Its power surpassed even that of humans, apostles, or any other existence in this world... Moreover, it held no hope, but was a rolling thunder of disaster born solely to bring despair and destruction.

"………hey-hey."

In the darkness, Cerebro sneered... He wouldn't take any initiative to do anything, just hand over the overpowered weapons to the humans of this world... to Ikari Gendō.

The pathetic person who aspires to become a god will naturally select the most suitable time for him... igniting the fire of destruction -

not good--

It’s really not good—

If you get hit head on by that... it's all over!!

He hurriedly withdrew his left hand, intending to accumulate Zapelio's energy and disperse this strange fluctuation from the front.

嗏

“WUAAAAAA——!!!”

The Ninth Angel...actually struggled desperately at this moment and bit Tiga's left hand with his mouth...hindering his movements.

“Is that so… All of this, is for… this moment—!!”

Due to concerns about Suzuhara Touji's life and death... he couldn't directly use light energy to blow Unit 03 apart, and as a result... he missed the final opportunity to prepare the Zaperion Ray.

"...Although, I don't know who's behind this... Well done... bastard."

Shinji Ikari realized that there was an outsider like Ultraman who was not a human or an apostle from this world and planned everything that happened today...

If Ultraman is a deus ex machina, a light without any reason.

Then what appears at this time is the sudden and unpredictable darkness.

Disaster and darkness corresponding to Ultraman, right?... Great! Well done! Embrace the challenge!
...And the price of obtaining this information was the dark brown D4 beam——which engulfed Tiga head-on.
