Shinji Ikari, the pilot of Unit-01 during the Spirit Awakening Era

"By the way, Sonoko and her best friend might come along too. Ryoko Sakaki will be cooking a big meal, so don't miss it! I'll have Ryoko prepare some dishes for Brother Ryu to help him replenish his energy."

"Thank you so much! Living with Shinji, the food is absolutely amazing," Ryuji Danma said with a smile.

"Are you implying that my cooking isn't good?" Nagase Nagisa said, her eyes slanted upwards.

"Here it comes, here comes the killer question!"

"Ah!"

Chapter 91 Unrest in Tokyo Bay

"Good morning!" When Shinji Ikari went to school the next day, he witnessed it firsthand. He had just greeted Kunio Murai and the others whom he hadn't seen for a few days when he turned around and saw Rei Ayanami, who had no expression, being held by Reimi Kanzaki.

"Rei-kun~" After discovering that other methods could not stimulate Rei Ayanami, Kanzaki Reimi observed for a while and very casually noticed that Rei Ayanami did not seem to like physical contact with anyone other than Shinji Ikari. Then, without any hesitation, Kanzaki Reimi pounced on the new goddess of St. Forest Academy. When she saw the uncomfortable and disgusted expression on Rei Ayanami's almost expressionless face, Kanzaki Reimi was overjoyed. So you're not expressionless after all.

"If you were a man, this behavior would be considered perverted!" Shinji Ikari rolled his eyes. Although it was indeed quite pleasing to the eye to see two beautiful girls rubbing against him, and he could also see the very rare expression on Rei Ayanami's face, which was a good thing, Shinji Ikari still tried to help Rei Ayanami block Reimi Kanzaki.

"Hey!" Kanzaki Reimi didn't seem to care at all about Shinji Ikari's sarcasm. She simply flashed a peace sign at Shinji, looking quite happy. Shinji immediately rolled his eyes.

"Class is about to start." Rei Ayanami sat down and opened her book.

"What don't you understand? I'll teach you!" Kanzaki Reimi seemed to want to drag her chair over and sit next to Ayanami Rei. She had already "obtained" permission from the classmate in front of Ayanami Rei to switch seats with her, and was now focused on squatting in her daily source of happiness, while also baring her teeth at every silly person who tried to take advantage of her source of happiness.

"Reimi, go back to your seat. Don't bother Rei Ayanami anymore." Onizuka Eikichi walked in without looking up and said directly. Obviously, this situation had been going on for a while, to the point that it had become a habit for Onizuka Eikichi to mention it every time he came in. "Oh! Shinji is back too? Wasn't he supposed to be back in a few more days?"

"Didn't you see the news? No fun left, huh?" Shinji Ikari said with a laugh. "I don't know where this lunatic came from, but he attacked the police station. To avoid getting involved, I came back."

"Huh? Shouldn't you be actively finding out who launched the attack and then taking care of them?" Murai Kunio looked at Shinji Ikari with a strange expression. In his opinion, Shinji Ikari should have the heroic spirit to resolve things after encountering them.

“Japan is a bureaucratically controlled society. If they were to do this, such a cross-regional mobilization of combat power, especially EVA, which is nominally a UN-affiliated force, then without a doubt, the lawsuit could drag on into the next century. Unless NERV no longer wants any support from the Japanese government, this is impossible.” Shinji Ikari sighed. “Besides, if the other side fires a shell at sea and then turns around and runs away, even if I have EVA, I can only watch them go.”

“That makes sense.” Shinji Ikari’s words prompted Kunio Murai to think. He scratched his head, knowing that Shinji was right, “but I’m still so disappointed.”

"To be honest, me too." Shinji Ikari opened his book. "I also want to sweep away all the demons and monsters in the world, starting with taking down Gendo Ikari in NERV, how about it?" Shinji Ikari sat there, spreading his hands. "Society is an order, and this order protects the majority of people. You can't enjoy the security that order brings on the one hand, and then want to smash it because it restricts your freedom on the other." Shinji Ikari shrugged and said with a grin.

"That sounds like a lot of trouble," Kunio Murai sighed. "Let someone like you, who's destined to be a big shot, think about these things. All I want to do in the future is become a soccer player!"

"Shinji Ikari is absolutely right. If you all want to become successful like your teacher in the future, you must study hard! There are no shortcuts!" Onizuka Eikichi's words immediately drew a chorus of boos. Among them, the loudest boos came from Murai Kunio and Kanzaki Reimi. Shinji Ikari suddenly thought that next time they should all sing together and bang on the table to keep the beat. That would definitely make booing their homeroom teacher look really cool.

After a period of commotion, Eikichi Onizuka had just begun his lesson when Shinji Ikari's cell phone suddenly rang. Shinji picked it up, glanced at it, frowned, and immediately pulled it out to look at it again. At this moment, the whole class stared at Shinji, because the last time Shinji's cell phone rang in class was when the Angels attacked, and everyone in Tokyo-3 went to take emergency shelter.

"They really came looking for us?" Shinji Ikari looked a little surprised, then waved to everyone to indicate that everything was alright. "I'll be right there. Should I bring Rei Ayanami along? Okay! Then I'll come alone." As he spoke, Shinji Ikari reached out and jumped off the windowsill. The students in the classrooms below were once again subjected to a mental shock, after all, it wasn't something you saw every day.

"Wow, he's so fast! Every time I see him, he's already at the motorcycle!" This time, Murai Kunio was much more experienced. As Shinji Ikari reached for the windowsill, he jumped towards the window. His training in the soccer club had been very effective.

"Shinji Ikari is indeed very skilled, but since we don't need to take refuge here, you all better focus on your lessons!" Eikichi Onizuka glanced out the window, then shrugged. "Leave the task of saving the world to Shinji, and the battlefield is right here! You kids, if you want to make something of yourself, if you want a bright future, this is where you'll fight! Once you get into Tokyo University, your lives will change."

"Ah, that's easy to say." A group of students let out a collective lament. The University of Tokyo is the most prestigious university in Japan. Although the University of Tokyo is not as good as it used to be after suffering a heavy blow, it is still the most famous university in Japan.

"Show some fighting spirit! Each of you either has an infinitely large deviation value or there's still hope!" Onizuka Eikichi was giving his students a pep talk.

"Oh..." came a dejected voice.

"Shinji has arrived at the elevator." Shinji Ikari's motorcycle stopped inside the elevator, and then he heard Shigeru Aoki's voice. Immediately, he felt a sense of weightlessness. The floors displayed on the high-speed elevator were rapidly descending. Clearly, after Shinji's comment, NERV's infrastructure had undergone considerable changes.

"What's the situation now?" Shinji Ikari took off his helmet and asked directly.

"Oh, Shinji, speaking of which, we have a bit of a connection." Shigeru Aoki's words startled Shinji. What was going on?! Me? A connection? What do you mean? You have to take responsibility for what you say.

"The US and Japanese navies are currently engaged in combat with each other, attempting to prevent the other side from entering Tokyo Bay. They are coming from the waters off Shikoku." Aoki Shigeru's words surprised Shinji Ikari.

"Wait, you mean... the one who demolished the Shikoku Police Department?" Now that things have come to this point, why is Shinji Ikari suddenly changing his tune? "So what do you mean now? EVA has underwater combat capabilities? I don't have any remote power supply equipment over there, do I?"

“Hehe! I already delivered a section of emergency backup cable to Neo-Tokyo yesterday,” Misato Katsuragi said with a hint of pride. “The problem now is that this thing’s fighting style is quite bizarre, and it does look like a huge warship.”

"Understood." Shinji Ikari picked up his phone and started sending messages.

"They've already been deployed. The government is calling every five minutes. These guys must be terrified of dying." Izumo no Okuni replied very quickly, and also attached a beautiful photo of her at the beach. In the photo, besides her, there was a group of Anomaly Countermeasures Bureau combatants wearing white trench coats.

"It's true that you're in a real hurry, but to be fair, a cursed spirit or evil spirit of this size is a record-breaking sighting!" Gojo Satoru's message was very direct.

"Tsk..." Shinji Ikari took a deep breath. Obviously, the Onmyōryō had a permanent base in New Tokyo, but the Jujutsu Association was not so fortunate. It was probably heading towards Tokyo Bay from the Jujutsu Academy in the mountains near New Tokyo. It was quite a pity, because some of the Jujutsu practitioners were too destructive and were required to avoid entering the city as much as possible. When something happened, they could only rush as fast as they could.

Judging from the statements of these two individuals, Shinji Ikari felt that the people in New Tokyo were well aware of what they were facing, and had even mobilized dedicated personnel to deal with it. After the elevator arrived at its destination, Shinji Ikari sent a "Thanks for informing me" message and then pushed his motorcycle out of the elevator.

"Has the Japanese government already requested our assistance?" Shinji Ikari asked Misato Katsuragi after a moment of silence.

“No, at present we just need to raise the alert level and ensure that EVAs can be deployed immediately if necessary,” Misato Katsuragi said truthfully. “The Japanese government obviously does not want us, NERV or even TERRT, to get too involved in this matter.”

"The US military can do it, but the UN can't? What kind of logic is that..." Shinji Ikari felt there were too many things to complain about at this point, to the point where he was speechless. "So what do you need me to do? Stand by in the lounge?"

"Currently, this is indeed the only thing that needs your attention! But you should be prepared that you may be asked to take action at any time."

"Airlift? Then airdrop Unit-01?"

"Yes."

"it is good."

Chapter 92 Wouldn't you even scream for help?

While Shinji Ikari was being notified and heading to NERV headquarters, things were quite lively off Tokyo Bay. The US fleet and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force were mobilized in a massive effort, unlike anything they had ever done in a training exercise, and were conducting a frantic search. Although they had different motives, they were really going all out. However, for some reason, the TERRA supercarrier, which was located near Tokyo Bay, did not participate and instead observed the commotion from a considerable distance.

Numerous frigates and destroyers have deployed towed sonars almost throughout the waters at the entrance to Tokyo Bay. P-3C ships, which have been circling around the area, have also placed a number of sonar buoys in the gaps. Clearly, the US-Japan coalition is determined to dig out the huge thing that lies beneath the surface.

Unbeknownst to them, not far from the beach, Morishita Yamato was already drenched in sweat. The moment he manipulated his little darling to launch the attack, he knew it would inevitably trigger a terrible aftermath, but he never expected it to be like stirring up a hornet's nest. The situation was now completely out of control.

The reason is also very simple.

Moreover, as the US and Japan continued to deploy troops, the sonar noise beneath the surface of the sea had become so dense that it was making ordinary sea creatures dizzy. A layer of pale light had appeared over the entire outer sea of ​​Tokyo Bay, and the "little baby," which was already filled with resentment and death, was about to break free of its violent desires under such circumstances and was about to break free from Morishita Yamato's control.

Morishita Yamato's eyes were bloodshot. He could feel his sanity being devoured by a frenzy. His once docile pet had begun to show the instincts and killing intent of a malevolent spirit after he had personally killed it.

Upon realizing the situation was amiss, Morishita Yamato immediately planned to have it lie in ambush on the seabed. Unfortunately, at that moment, the US-Japan allied forces dropped several depth charges on it. Although these did not cause any damage to the beast, they thoroughly provoked its ferocity.

"Target detected!" Soon, the P3C floating in the sky spotted a dilapidated warship rising above the water. "This is... a battleship?" Although not very familiar with this kind of ancient warship, the P3C operator still recognized it. After all, the huge gun barrels and the massive warship looked like the maritime hegemon of the last century, the symbol of national power, and the pillar of combat strength of the time—a battleship.

However, the ship was covered in rust, and there were various starfish, shellfish, and even a lot of seaweed attached to it. One look was enough to tell that it had just surfaced from underwater.

With things having come to this, Morishita Yamato sighed. Without further hesitation, he ordered his men to evacuate immediately. Then, he poured a strong ladle of vodka onto the carpet in the room, took out his kerosene lighter, lit a cigarette, and threw it onto the carpet. The flames instantly flared up.

"My God! This is insane!" When the decaying warship surfaced, the US-Japan allied forces collectively gasped and froze. Was this what they had been chasing?! Had a sunken warship come to life (Deep Sea Fleet, just kidding)? This was truly devastating news. Over the past hundred years, countless warships and large vessels have gone silent. If these could all come to life, how could humanity survive?

But they were an army after all, and they quickly reacted. The US commander issued an order for a general attack. No matter what this thing was, they had to sink it first! After all, Japan had been shameless for a long time, but the US military still had some sense of shame.

Upon receiving the order, the P-3Cs, while increasing altitude, were the first to launch an attack on the warship. Several AGM-65 Maverick air-to-ground missiles were fired from their racks at the old warship, and the flashes of explosions began to appear on the warship.

The rusted and worn gears began to turn slowly, and the anti-aircraft secondary guns on the surface of the warship began to point to the sky. Then, after countless years, they spewed flames again. The P-3Cs that had just launched missiles nearby became the first targets of the intense bombardment. These slow-flying propeller-driven anti-submarine aircraft were doomed in an instant, and the two closest ones were engulfed in a series of explosions.

However, their screams over the radio conveyed a different kind of fear to the nearby American and Japanese troops, since these planes seemed to indicate that they... were not shot down immediately.

"What the hell is that?! (gunshot)!"

"Don't come any closer! Ah, don't come any closer!"

"Help!"

"What the hell are we fighting right now?"

Several P-3C patrol aircraft, which were not directly hit, seemed to have gone out of control and crashed in all directions. This immediately made them understand a lot of things, and then a series of orders were issued. Nearby ships began to distance themselves and prepared to use anti-ship missiles to kill the aircraft.

But what they didn't expect was that the giant ship reacted even faster. The massive cannons on the warship were raised high, and then, with a flash of light from the muzzle, these huge cannonballs strangely bombarded the warships one after another, even though these cannonballs were fired from the same turret...

What happened next chilled the American commanders to the bone: every ship hit did explode, but all the ships quickly fell silent amidst strange screams. Even after the flames on the ships had been extinguished, and even though these relatively intact ships later collided together...

By this time, more US and Japanese fighter jets had arrived, and various air-to-ship munitions began to bombard the warships like raindrops.

"It's quite a spectacle." Izumo no Okuni looked at the satellite signal. That damn Dojima Gin is really rich. He's watching directly from satellite. Their Onmyōryō can't afford that kind of money.

“This shouldn’t be one of the Angels Shinji Ikari fought before; it’s just a high-level anomaly.” Gojo Satoru squatted down, looking at the scene before him with a very amused expression. “I think these officers have already realized that normal weapons and ammunition are not very effective against this one; in fact, they are quite ineffective.”

"Yes, tens or even hundreds of tons of ammunition have been dropped. They should have figured this out by now. They... oh, thermobaric bombs? These things can actually have some killing effect." Izumo no Okuni sighed. The cost of ammunition is money, isn't it? If given to any organization, it would be enough for them to bring out their best personnel to solve the problem. But then several large bombers swept over the surface of the warship, and more than a dozen large bombs were dropped. The next instant, a violent explosion accompanied by a rolling mushroom cloud made people think that the military had started dropping N2 bombs or nuclear weapons again.

"We can see a little bit of it from here." Dojima Gin looked into the distance. They were on a small hill near Tokyo Bay. The battle scene in the distance was naturally still beyond their line of sight, but the air blast from the explosion had dispersed the nearby clouds, and they could clearly see a circular arc even from dozens of kilometers away.

"Such a battle scene... This is the first time I've felt the awe of human power!" Izumo no Okuni covered his mouth, somewhat shocked, as he looked at the clouds scattered in the sky.

"Humans possess many technologies that are truly remarkable, especially in the art of killing their own kind, where they have an exceptionally profound talent." Pressing his forehead, Dojima Gin shook his head. "However, they seem similar to the Apostles; their attacks aren't very effective."

"It might not be so bad..." Izumo no Okuni looked at the visibly charred remains of the entire ship. Clearly, the thermobaric bombardment, while not fatally damaging, had been enough to severely injure it. But this damage seemed to have further enraged it!

"Damn it! This thing can actually stand up?" Dojima Gin twitched his lips. The Apostle blood he brought back last time had excited everyone at Totsuki Academy, so this time the Totsuki Group was willing to contribute more to make it stand up. But what he saw now left him speechless.

Countless shattered pieces and fragments fell onto the sea surface. Pale white bones suddenly pierced through the ship's armor plates from inside the vessel, stepped onto the seabed, and slowly rose up. As they did so, the entire warship emitted a roaring sound, leaving the nearby American and Japanese warships completely stunned.

If the previous rust-covered hull, teeming with marine life, still gave the impression of a ghost ship already roaming in legends, then this warship, now able to stand upright on the sea, clearly transcends the category of a warship. Not to mention, the enemy is still firing relentlessly at anything on the surface of the sea under these circumstances! Several more Japanese Self-Defense Force warships have been sunk.

As for why only Self-Defense Force warships were mentioned, given how valuable the US Navy's warships are, they effectively demonstrated their long-standing tradition of swiftly responding to any unusual situation. After all, the area this ship was heading towards, Tokyo Bay, had absolutely nothing to do with the great and free United States of America. However, this time the Navy was at least considerate enough not to fire flares directly at the Maritime Self-Defense Force.

Therefore, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces can only resort to the same urgent measures as before, making a show of fighting to the death along the Tokyo coast, at least to ensure that important figures have time to evacuate from New Tokyo.

"So, they haven't considered asking NERV for help yet?"

"Who knows what the big shots are thinking?"

Chapter 93 The Destroyed Spirit Warship

"Huh?" Shinji Ikari listened to the report and realized that it was the Ground Self-Defense Force that had shed blood on the battlefield last time, but this time it was the Maritime Self-Defense Force that had been defeated.

When the evil warship was discovered advancing into Tokyo Bay, the entire city of Tokyo nearly went mad. The Maritime Self-Defense Force received a death order: hold the line no matter what, and Tokyo was not to be moved! Shinji Ikari almost laughed himself to death at this, saying, "The Third Tokyo is right here, what are you talking about?"

Thus, the official Anomaly Countermeasures Bureau became the first group of warriors to rush forward. As a result, the group of powerful individuals who rushed forward were unable to cause much damage to the evil warship. They created some obstacles, but due to the huge difference in size, they struggled to inflict damage on the warship. However, the warship easily inflicted heavy casualties on the Anomaly Countermeasures Bureau with every move it made.

Moreover, for the people along Tokyo Bay, unlike before when they were under the control of Morishita Yamato, the large number of casualties allowed this evil warship to rapidly absorb more fresh souls and grow stronger. When the remaining people of the Anomaly Countermeasures Bureau were rescued by the Onmyōryō and the sorcerers, this huge warship had not only grown limbs, but also many illusory hands reaching out to the rear, as if growing wings. Even Morishita Yamato, who created it, was very surprised by this situation.

"So they've really decided to send us out, is that right?" Shinji Ikari pressed a button on his wrist, and his special combat suit shrunk, tightly wrapping around him. He stretched his limbs; he had to admit, NERV was quite skilled at making clothes.

“Yes, when you boarded the plane, the Japanese government had already urgently sent a request for assistance to the United Nations. We and TERRA have confirmed that we received the request for assistance. TERRA hasn't replied yet, they're probably hesitating. Although their weapons are good, they can't solve this problem.” Misato Katsuragi said with a grin. “So, good luck, Shinji! It's your time to shine again!”

"This is really interesting!" Shinji Ikari took a deep breath and saw the pilot in front of him turn around and gesture to him, signaling him to get ready. "But is the EVA sturdy? If it gets damaged, I won't be responsible for compensation."

"Don't worry, I've already installed a disposable hang glider for you. Please be careful when using it! I remember you've already done the corresponding simulation training, right?" Misato Katsuragi was clearly confident that this would make the arrogant Self-Defense Forces talk much less in front of her, so she was very happy.

"Understood!" Shinji Ikari crawled into the insertion plug that was standing to the side, slid down a short distance, and then crawled into his control seat. As Shinji Ikari gripped the control stick, the system began to intervene. NERV headquarters quickly detected the sequence on Shinji Ikari's side and had received messages from Shinji Ikari and Unit-01.

"Everything is going well! Shinji Ikari, your stats are as good as ever." As Misato Katsuragi spoke, the insertion jack lit up, and thousands of meters in the air, Shinji Ikari could clearly see the environment below, including the huge evil warship that had entered the entrance to Tokyo Bay.

"How long can I fight?" This is a crucial question that must be answered. Five minutes might be enough to figure out a way, but if it's only one minute, Shinji Ikari feels like he's not going to fight at all, and he's just being sent to his death.

“Five minutes, but we still need to be careful with the time!” Misato Katsuragi said quickly. “However, the weapon that the Babem Group specially made according to your requirements has already been loaded onto the transport plane.”

"Very good, pilot, drop me down!" Shinji Ikari cracked his neck. He had left in a hurry and hadn't brought the sake that Ryoko Sakaki had brewed for him. He would remember next time to bring a small jug no matter where he went.

"Good luck!" The pilot nodded, and without any countdown, pressed the button directly. The explosive bolts took effect, and the glider carrying Unit-01 detached from the rail.

"Roar!" The evil warship, with its massive metal maw wide open, roared madly near Yokosuka in Tokyo Bay. It had noticed the huge shadow gliding through the air, which posed a great threat to it. As it began to develop cognitive abilities, it immediately roared madly, and its cannons began to fire ammunition wildly toward Unit-01.

"Buzz!" Shinji Ikari narrowed his eyes, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth. Unit-01's AT Field unfolded, and countless black clouds of smoke exploded on the surface of the rapidly descending glider, but under the protection of the AT Field, they were unable to make contact with the glider itself.

However, Shinji Ikari still frowned. Above the churning clouds of explosions, he saw a large number of vengeful spirits tumbling about, a situation that Shinji found somewhat incomprehensible.

"Boom!" With the final maneuver, the glider and Unit 1 separated in the last four or five hundred meters. Countless cannon fire crashed into the glider in an instant, and the explosion shattered the entire glider.

But in the next instant, Unit-01, with its thrusters ignited on its back, charged straight into the demon warship's body through the gunfire. The warship, which had been so unrestrained and fearless until now, was hit for the first time, causing it to tilt and crash into the sea. The resulting waves crashed into Yokosuka Naval Base like a tsunami.

"3 minutes and 30 seconds! I don't have time to waste with you!" Taking advantage of the Ghost Battleship's unfamiliarity with this face-to-face combat, Shinji Ikari swept his leg, completely knocking the Ghost Battleship down. Then, the auxiliary weapon slot on his back popped out, and Shinji Ikari grabbed a long dagger in his hand. This was a weapon hastily manufactured by the Babem Group. Shinji Ikari felt that Unit-01's paper cutter was too out of place, and the dagger's most important piercing function had been greatly weakened, so he requested a replacement, which was granted.

"Thump!" A main cannon that had just turned towards Unit-01 to fire was pierced through by a high-frequency vibrating dagger. Shinji Ikari then stirred it around, cutting the interior of the evil warship to pieces!

A painful roar came from the crack in the bow. The evil warship, wielding a giant hand, actually managed to push aside Unit-01's hand that was suppressing him with brute force. A series of secondary guns on the ship bombarded Shinji Ikari. If it weren't for the AT Field protecting him, Unit-01 would have been in great pain from this barrage of shells.

Shinji Ikari decisively released his grip on the dagger, took a step back, and dodged. The shell fired from the other main cannon on the back of the Ghost Ship missed its target and plunged into the nearby Yokosuka Naval Base. The explosion caused endless resentment and death energy to spread wildly, clearly indicating that all living beings near the exploding shell would be completely devoured.

"Is this how you show your strength?" Shinji Ikari shook his head, then kicked it to the ground, slamming it onto the Yokosuka base. But he never expected that the other party would somehow throw an anchor chain at Unit-01's feet. The moment Unit-01 kicked it away, the anchor chain pulled Unit-01 down as well, and the resulting wave once again washed over the entire Yokosuka Harbor.

"This thing!" Feeling the sudden weightlessness, Shinji Ikari twitched his lips. What he saw was the evil warship landing on all fours, charging towards Unit-01, stirring up the entire seabed of Tokyo Bay.

"It's really annoying." Shinji Ikari's Unit-01 sprang into the air with a somersault, just dodging the attack of the Ghost Ship. In the instant they passed each other, he delivered a backhand elbow strike, smashing the entire smokestack on the Ghost Ship's back into the hull. Under the heavy force, the entire ship slammed onto the water's surface, spewing out a jet of black substance, which was unclear whether it was heavy oil.

"It's time to end this!" Shinji Ikari tried to use his ki, but Unit-01's hand didn't react at all. He twitched his lips. This isn't drunk driving, it's just that he's weak.

Unit-01 slammed its foot into the last remaining main gun turret of the Ghost Ship, grabbed the long dagger forged by the Babem Group, and with a fierce tug, the sharp blade not only tore apart the foredeck but also ripped open the entire bridge. This action seemed to provoke the enemy, and the Ghost Ship began to struggle wildly, seemingly trying to lunge towards the fallen bridge.

The hint couldn't be clearer. While kicking the evil warship away, Unit-01 grabbed the already badly damaged bridge. As Unit-01 exerted force with both hands, the evil warship, lying to the side, struggled wildly in Tokyo Bay. Finally, as Unit-01's palms came together, flattening the bridge, the evil warship stopped moving after a hiss.

"Phew... Only thirty-odd seconds left? Not bad luck." Shinji Ikari piloted Unit-01 ashore and knelt on one knee in the Yokosuka base. Because of his battle with the Ghost Ship, the base had essentially been hit by a tsunami several times, smashed and bombarded, and was practically completely destroyed.

"Thump." With the movement of Unit-01, the almost crushed bridge fell to the ground. Unit-01 slowly stopped operating, while the main body of the evil warship on the other side seemed to have suddenly lost its source of vitality. A thick layer of blood rose on the entire warship, and then it began to disintegrate rapidly, as if it had been washed away in the river of time for an unknown amount of time.

"Notify others to check the bridge as soon as possible; there's probably something inside," Shinji Ikari quickly told Misato Katsuragi before Unit-01 lost power.

"Understood, but keep an eye on Unit-01 first."

"it is good."

Chapter 94 A Gang, What Are You Trying to Do?

"How do you feel?" Shinji Ikari jumped off Unit-01 and immediately saw the bridge, which had been crushed and thrown aside by Unit-01. It was now surrounded by more than a dozen people. These people had obviously discovered something, but their faces showed obvious extreme frustration. As soon as they saw Shinji Ikari get off EVA Unit-01, they immediately surrounded him.
