Fight against the Lord God and spread the power of collapse from Tokyo

Then, a flaxen-haired girl came in with a bag of liquid food and a lollipop in her mouth, hopping like a little rabbit, pushing open the door.

亣“Woooooooo!”

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Ikari Shinji lying on the bed, looking up at her. The girl let out an exaggerated scream of shock: "Aren't you going to pretend to sleep?"

In response, Ikari Shinji just smiled and said: "When necessary, I will wake up, but now is not the time, Sophie."

"cut."

The girl, the fused consciousness Sophie, sat down next to Ikari Shinji with dissatisfaction and complained, "Of course it's not the right time yet. Push everything to me, and then let me claim that I have merged some of your memories, and then explain to those people. You just need to pretend to be a necessary prop and rest under the layers of protection."

Shinji Ikari didn't care about Sophie's complaints.

No matter what Sophie said, in fact, Sophie has been acting precisely according to Shinji Ikari's requirements, and this is enough for Shinji Ikari.

As long as Sophie is obedient, he doesn't mind listening to Sophie complain every day.

"What's the situation outside?" asked Shinji Ikari, supporting himself on the bed with one hand.

"It's still the same." Sophie shrugged. "From the time I claimed to have seen part of your memory in the data storm until I brought you back, everyone has been arguing about the 'Human Instrumentality Project' and whether or not it is reliable."

"Although I have tried my best to promote the plan, most people still don't trust it."

"Especially after my sister openly opposed the 'Human Instrumentality Project', now almost no one in the base agrees to implement the plan."

Sophie bit the lollipop in her mouth, making a crunching sound, and took out another lollipop and handed it to Shinji Ikari, saying vaguely, "Eat it? We finally got this supply."

"...Slater is against the plan?" Ikari Shinji shook his head. "Well, let's ignore Slater for now. Does this mean that the humans in this world approve of the 'Human Instrumentality Project', but they won't accept it?"

"Of course I agree." After seeing that Shinji Ikari didn't eat the lollipop, Sophie carefully put away the other lollipop and picked up the bag of liquid food instead. While tearing open the package and eating with a straw, she replied: "After all, the Urmor Gundam is right in front of them, isn't it?"

"Facts speak louder than words. With my successful fusion of consciousness right in front of them, how could they deny the plan?"

At this point, Sophie's expression became slightly excited. She continued, "You don't know the expressions on their faces when I remotely controlled the Urmoring Gundam in front of my sister and other people at the base!"

“That expression of disbelief and having one’s worldview shattered is so funny!”

"Even my sister showed that shocked expression! This is so funny, hahahaha!"

Having said that, Sophie, who had already finished the liquid food, threw the remaining packaging bags away, put her hands behind her head, and laughed with her head tilted back.

After listening to Sophie's words, Ikari Shinji nodded thoughtfully: "You approved the plan, but your acceptance is not enough?"

"It's as expected. After all, the current Rectification Protocol has fallen into a dormant state. As long as you don't actively enter their range, you won't be attacked."

"Under such circumstances, it is to be expected that the extreme 'Human Instrumentality Project' would be rejected."

After that, Shinji Ikari looked at the bored Sophie and said, "What about your sister Slater?"

"Did you find a chance to check her Wind Spirit Gundam?"

Sophie, who was sitting next to Ikari Shinji, tilted her head and said, "The Wind Spirit Gundam... I went to see it when my sister wasn't paying attention, but when it wasn't powered on, the Wind Spirit Gundam looked no different from an ordinary Gundam."

"I tried to call the Wind Spirit with the Urmerin Gundam in the hangar, but the Wind Spirit Gundam would not respond to my call at all."

Sophie shrugged. "If we want to further confirm the consciousness inside the Wind Spirit Gundam, maybe we need to let my sister activate the Wind Spirit Gundam and enter the high-level Pamet Mark."

Hearing this, Ikari Shinji lowered his head and began to think.

"Hmm... In other words, if we want to advance the Human Instrumentality Project, we need humans to have a strong sense of crisis."

"And to further study the Wind Spirit Gundam, do we also need to let the Wind Spirit Gundam fight against a strong enemy and enter a high-level Parmet Mark?"

Thinking of this, Ikari Shinji smiled: "These two conditions can be achieved at the same time."

At this moment, Ikari Shinji, who was thinking, suddenly looked up at the door, then turned around and nodded to Sophie.

"Then you better get ready. I will create an opportunity for you."

"What?" Sophie looked confused.

...What opportunity?

But Shinji Ikari had no intention of explaining. Instead, he lay back on the bed and closed his eyes again.

Just as Sophie was about to ask further questions, she heard light footsteps behind her.

"Who?"

Sophie frowned and turned to look at the open door.

"it's me."

A girl wearing a silver mask walked into the room.

"Sister!" Seeing the girl in the silver mask, the cold expression on Sophie's face immediately turned into a joyful smile.

Seeing Sophie's smile, Sleta closed the door behind him, took off the mask on his head, walked towards Sophie, nodded with a smile and said: "I guess you are here, Sophie."

"Since returning to the base, you've come here almost every day. Do you care about Ikari Shinji?"

At this time, Sophie hugged Sleta's waist and said with a smile: "No, I'm just curious about the 'Human Instrumentality Project'."

Hearing Sophie's words, Sleta, who was hugged by Sophie's waist, stiffened slightly, then slowly exhaled, put one hand on Sophie's head, and gently combed her hair.

"The 'Human Instrumentality Project'?"

Sleta shook his head. "This plan is too radical and too unsafe. Abandoning the body and concentrating the spirit into the Gundam for eternal life... There is no such good thing in the world. If the plan fails, what will happen to the human spirit?"

"Besides, the only successful case is you, Sophie. Apart from you, even Ikari Shinji, who amplified the data storm, fell into a coma because of the data storm and has not woken up yet."

"We can't put our hopes on something this slim."

"What about your Wind Spirit, sister?" Sophie asked, whether intentionally or unintentionally, "Isn't the Wind Spirit Gundam also a human spirit that resides in a Gundam?"

After the hand on Sophie's head paused, Sleta was silent for a moment, and then continued: "...It was just an accident."

"It was just a series of tragedies triggered by an accident."

At this point, Sleta broke free from Sophie's embrace, squatted down slightly, looked into Sophie's eyes seriously and said, "Sophie, I know that after you saw Shinji Ikari's memory, you are very interested in the 'Human Instrumentality Project'."

"I also know that you have been spreading the 'Human Instrumentality Project' since returning to the base."

"But everything is fine now. We don't know how much we paid and how many relatives we lost to gain this piece of land for reproduction and survival in Australia. Don't get too deep into it, okay, Sophie?"

"Eh..." Sophie showed a hint of dissatisfaction.

Shinji Ikari's order required that the plan be spread, and even the elder sister could not conflict with Shinji Ikari's order...

However, thinking of the opportunity that Shinji Ikari mentioned just now, Sophie thought for a moment and then said.

"Well, if this is what Sister thinks, I won't tell anyone else about the 'Human Instrumentality Project' until Sister agrees."

Forget it, I'll just agree to it first and see what the opportunity is. At worst, I can go against my promise to my sister later. After all, Ikari Shinji's orders are the most important.

"very good."

Slater, not knowing what Sophie was thinking, stood up, smiled and nodded: "Then I won't disturb your time with Shinji Ikari..."

"Sister, what are you talking about?!"

Sophie interrupted Sleta unhappily and stood up: "I don't care about this guy!"

Sleta laughed in silence.

"I didn't say you cared about Ikari Shinji."

While Sleta and Sophie were talking, Shinji Ikari didn't pay any attention to the two people next to him.

——Because at this time, Shinji Ikari's consciousness has left his body.

Now, Shinji Ikari is just like he has just entered this world. He has integrated his consciousness into the Honkai energy and arrived above a base of the Sermon on the Earth that is closest to the human survival base in this world.

"Although it is the nearest base of the Rectification Agreement...it is still very far away from the human survival base."

Looking at the Supremacy Protocol base below, which was laid out like an airport with a large number of MS mechas and many large buildings, Ikari Shinji, whose consciousness was overlooking the base from high in the sky, rebuilt a new body.

"Have humans cleared out all the nearby Cleansing Protocol outposts around the base?"

"...This makes it easier for me to move. I won't be noticed by humans at such a long distance."

Thinking of this, Shinji Ikari slowly fell towards the stronghold below.

In an instant, in the base below, the eyes of the dozens of more than ten-meter-tall humanoid MS parked on the ground flashed red at the same time, and they suddenly raised their heads in sync to look at Ikari Shinji, who was just a black dot in the sky.

"Abnormal organic life has been detected invading the control area!"

“Apply for coping strategies!”

“…Hi, no feedback, application failed!”

"Entering self-defense mode, allowing free attack!"

After a few crisp buzzing sounds, the MS bodies on the ground will light up their red eyes and look up at Shinji Ikari in the sky!

Chapter 25 Unit-01

However, before the MS mecha of the Serenity Protocol attacked, the automatic defense device in the Serenity Protocol base had already received the order to attack.

Small holes opened simultaneously on several buildings of the Summons Agreement base below, and multi-barreled close-in defense guns were ejected from the inside, pointing at Shinji Ikari in the sky.

The next moment, a flame larger than the gun body began to appear at the muzzle of the close-in defense gun, and a trajectory consisting of dozens of tracer bullets had already rushed towards Ikari Shinji in the sky from various locations of the Correction Agreement Base.

"...Close-in defense gun?"

Looking at these shells that were bigger than himself, Shinji Ikari gently placed his hands in front of him to block them.

Although Shinji Ikari has left all the advancement plans to Sophie during this period of time, it does not mean that he has done nothing.

——On the contrary, during this period of time, he has carefully studied the Gundams and MS in the human base, and created machines that are in line with the human completion plan.

The next moment, along with Ikari Shinji's movements, most of the more than 100,000 units of Honkai energy allocated to him by his original body, Mo Ren, began to boil violently, and began to spread around his body under Ikari Shinji's control.

Therefore, when the huge shell of the close-in defense gun was about to hit Shinji Ikari's body, the invisible Honkai energy had begun to condense and gather.

——BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!

Along with the continuous roar of explosions, huge clouds of smoke appeared in the sky above the Rectification Agreement base.

Which close-in defense gun shells hit the target!

But even so, the close-in defense guns of the Rectification Agreement base showed no intention of stopping, and they continued to deliver thousands of shells into the smoke in the air.

Although most of the shells were fired into the air in the spreading smoke, quite a few of them seemed to hit something solid, causing huge explosions one after another, adding a lot of volume to the smoke in the sky and causing sparks to fly everywhere.

And just twenty seconds after the close-in defense guns sounded, the close-in defense guns, which had fired tens of thousands of shells and created smoke and sparks in the sky, finally stopped.

As the gunfire stopped, three of the dozen or so MS on the ground stepped on some kind of airplane-like pedal device and rushed from the ground into the smoke in the sky.

However, the MS that came to the sky did not rush into the smoke rashly. Instead, they stood outside the smoke, guarding the smoke with live ammunition in their hands, while dispersing and using radar to detect the interior of the smoke.

"Radar scans show no organics - results confirmed, target destroyed."

The scarlet eyes of the MS in the sky flickered slightly. After confirming that the target had been destroyed, it immediately turned around and flew downwards. The close-in defense gun also began to automatically retract from the muzzle, and the MS on the ground also began to re-enter standby mode.

But at this moment - a huge purple arm stretched out from the smoke, grabbed the head of a turning MS and held it tightly!

--boom!

As the palm tightened, an exploding spark appeared in the purple palm!

"——Under attack! Radar detection result is wrong!"

"Fight back!"

In an instant, the headless MS turned its body around without any hesitation, and the live ammunition weapon in its hand was aimed at the arm stretched out from the smoke.

But before it fired, the purple arm in the smoke waved and swept directly towards the headless MS!

——Crack!

With the piercing sound of the body breaking, the headless MS was like being cut by several beam swords at the same time. It had been split into several parts and fell straight to the ground. It had turned into a new "spark" before landing.

"——An unrecorded unit was found!"

However, the MS on the ground who saw this scene ignored the sparks and focused their "attention" on the arm that stretched out from the purple smoke.

"Execute Order No. 2, capture the unrecorded unit!"

Following the order from the Supremacy Protocol Base, the two MSs in the air turned around without hesitation and rushed towards the flying machine, abandoning their live ammunition guns for long-range attacks and instead drawing their beam swords.

At this time, the machine to which the purple arm belonged had already flown out of the smoke.

This is a machine with a body the same purple as the arm that was just stretched out, and the size of this purple machine is about the same as the MS of the Serenity Protocol, both are fifteen or sixteen meters tall.

However, unlike the heavily armored Serenity MS and humans' Gundam, this machine is not equipped with a large amount of protective armor or any weapons, and its body appears to be very slender and flexible.
