I participated in the development of EVA

The particles vibrated at a high frequency, cutting through the at force field with the help of the tail flame.

Everyone watched this scene with bated breath, but Fumihiko Ikari did not hold out much hope. The high-vibration particle dagger could cut through the apostle's force field, but most of the time it could only achieve results with the assistance of the EVA force field.

however……

This apostle is a bit too weak.

The force field was actually cut open by the thrust missile, a large amount of flesh was torn off from the left chest and abdomen, and the right arm was directly cut off.

The powerful impact also caused it to be overturned.

A large amount of blood, splattered flesh and internal organs dyed the surrounding mountains and forests red.

There was silence in the command room for a moment before someone spoke cautiously in a low voice.

"The Apostle was defeated?"

The others also came to their senses, and everyone's eyes fell on Ikari Fumihiko.

Fumihiko Ikari is the highest commander on the scene and also the most authoritative expert in the field of apostles.

"It's not over yet. The apostle's weakness is the core."

The Three Sages system also has relevant data, and unlike humans, it is not disturbed by emotions. The first time... No! It calculated that this situation might occur when launching the attack. Therefore, before Ikari Fumihiko finished speaking, the finishing missile controlled by the Three Sages appeared on the big screen and bombarded the Apostle Core at a speed of Mach 2.

The white light in the apostle's eyes shone again.

Most of the missiles were intercepted, and only two missiles broke through the siege.

And these two missiles are heading for the core!

For a supercomputer, one breakthrough can be described as a coincidence, but two breakthroughs are inevitable.

The apostle, lying on the ground, could only barely intercept another missile.

The other missile was no longer able to intercept.

After the previous attack, the apostle was well aware of the power of this missile, so he sacrificed his remaining left arm to deviate from the direction of the stabbing missile.

It looked like the Apostles would be destroyed with just one more wave of missiles, but...

The observer reported bad news.

"Insufficient inventory of Stinger missiles."

It’s not that the Three Sages’ system was slow in prompting, but that the announcer’s reaction was a little slow.

Although the next wave of missiles were only high-explosive bombs with the least lethality to force fields, they still caused the apostle's body to show signs of high temperature and softening after hitting the enemy's force field head-on.

At the same time, a prompt popped up on the big screen.

[The enemy's energy level has dropped abnormally. 93.63% may be concentrating its energy on recovering from injuries, and 6.37% may be that the enemy is seriously injured and weak.]

The basis for the judgment of the Three Sages System is that "the energy attack intensity of the enemy's interception missiles this time has not decreased significantly, and the force field defense deployed is less than one-third of the previous one."

Just as the Three Sages System predicted, the flesh and blood of the apostle was wriggling.

[The enemy will recover most of its injuries in 186.77 minutes. Should we use a high-yield N2 intercontinental missile to attack! ? ]

20:19:00

649. The operation is as fierce as a tiger, but the result is 0/5

The current situation can basically sentence the apostle to death.

A high-yield N2 bomb may not kill the apostle, but it can make him more injured and weaken his energy level again. A few hours are definitely enough for Unit to arrive and finish him off, or for a high-vibration particle missile to be delivered from the leader. Both the former and the latter can complete the final job of finishing off the apostle.

This is the apostle without the S2 mechanism.

With the level of human technology, even without the piercing missiles and spear missiles, or even if the Three Sages System controlled everything, they would still be able to win.

Under the global ammunition saturation attack, the apostles will sooner or later run out of energy like they are now.

It's just that the cost will be higher.

"Unlock the relevant permissions and launch a high-yield N2 intercontinental missile."

[The order has been confirmed, and the parliamentary agreement is being verified... The agreement has been passed, and the coordinates have been sent. Russia has received the coordinates. ]

It is obvious that the Three Sages System does not have the ability to directly control the high-yield N2 intercontinental missile.

The launch of a strategic intercontinental missile like this still needs to be completed manually and reviewed by the NERV Council.

Fumihiko Ikari was a little confused.

Why did Seele suddenly do this?

Judging from the current situation, Seele seems to be trying to prove that humans do not need EVA's power to defeat the apostles. However... he knows that the human completion plan requires EVA to complete, and Seele will definitely not do such a thing that will only shoot himself in the foot.

And just then.

The intercontinental missile fell from space at a terrifying speed of Mach 20 and attacked the apostle.

Humans could not react to this speed, but the apostles did. However, the interception was not successful this time.

The horrific explosion destroyed the mountain and completely dissolved one-third of the apostle's body.

Although the core is still intact, there is no sign of recovery.

It was like it was lying in the lava as if it was dead.

"The apostle shows no signs of recovery. Should we capture him?"

This is not the answer given by the Three Sages System, but a proposal from the NERV Parliament.

Ikari Fumihiko was silent for a moment before speaking.

"In the absence of key control devices, only genetic sampling is recommended, not capture."

Having said this, he added something in his mind.

Difficulty This is Seele's true thought...

Through this apostle invasion, lower the human's estimate of the apostles' strength, thereby destroying the cooperative relationship with NERV and terminating the artificial god plan?

Now that this type of missile can destroy the apostles, the artificial god plan has lost its meaning.

At the same time, he will also become a thorn in Nerv's side.

The scene fell silent for a while, because there was no feedback from the NERV Council. Apparently, there was a disagreement within the Council on how to deal with the Apostles. Some wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to capture the Apostles alive for research, while others wanted to follow the advice given by Ikari Fumihiko and eliminate the Apostles to collect genetic samples.

As for the three-member parliament, what kind of situation led to the stalemate is not something outsiders can know.

This stalemate lasted for a long time, so long that Unit 0 had already arrived at the scene.

"Li, be prepared. If the enemy shows any abnormality, its core will be destroyed immediately without any request."

"receive."

Unit 00 is connected to the nuclear reactor with a hastily made umbilical cord, so it is not afraid of the stalemate continuing.

Not long after, news came from the Artificial God Project Team.

"This is Ritsuko Akagi. The Type 02 prototype has completed startup testing and is ready for use."

Ikari Fumihiko thought for a moment before speaking.

"Stay where you are."

Ritsuko Akagi was a little confused.

"Ah? Wasn't it an emergency just now?"

"The enemy was incapacitated by the missile strike."

"Ugh... so weak..."

Ritsuko Akagi paused for a moment, then couldn't help but ask a question in return.

"How did they trigger the second impact when they are so weak? A creature that can cause such a catastrophe shouldn't be so weak, right? It seems that their strength is not as good as EVA."

Ritsuko Akagi's doubts were also the doubts of everyone present.

The apostle who appeared again was much weaker than expected, and it was impossible to connect him with the second impact at all.

Being stared at by everyone, Fumihiko Ikari didn't know what to say.

The nerv council also made a decision.

"Destroy the apostles."

Fumihiko Ikari immediately said something to Rei Ayanami.

"Lei, fire."

"receive."

At this moment, Rei Ayanami was like a machine and pulled the trigger after receiving the order.

Positron rifle excitation.

however……

The result was different from the execution everyone expected. The apostle, who had fallen to the ground as if dead, now had a warm light shining on his body and his tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.

White light shines.

A beam of energy shot towards Unit 0, and its body recovered at an uncanny speed.

Rei Ayanami has been training intensively, dealing with all kinds of conceptual apostles in the dream program, and has basically encountered all kinds of situations. Therefore, the apostle's sneak attack was not successful this time, and was easily blocked by the force field deployed by Unit 0. No! It did not block but diverted the energy attack.

The scattered energy destroys the surrounding terrain.

The situation was already obvious at this point. The apostle was intelligent and was pretending to be dead in order to accumulate energy to restore his body.

Ikari Fumihiko asked worriedly.

"Li, can you handle it?"

"can."

Ayanami Rei answered straightforwardly.

Fumihiko Ikari decided to believe in Rei Ayanami's ability. There was no other way. He had no choice but to believe in the current situation.

If Unit 0 is to remain operational for a long time, it must have a nuclear reactor.

Although it can run away with the nuclear reactor, it is not certain that Unit-00 can outrun the Angel with the burden of the nuclear reactor. But if it throws away the nuclear reactor, Unit-00 will only have two minutes of free action time. In such a short time, even if Unit-00 is faster than the Angel, it can still run away! ?

"Li, destroy Him."

"receive."

After shutting down the communication with Unit-02, Fumihiko Ikari also ordered the Type- prototype to provide support.

however……

This apostle was as weak as a baby in front of Rei Ayanami.

Rei Ayanami used the positron rifle to harass the enemy from a distance, and then looked for an opportunity to break out and engage in close combat.

With just a face-off, Unit 00's force field tore apart the Angel's force field with complete crushing force. The high-vibration particle dagger stabbed towards the core. Although the Angel's force field was not as strong as Unit 00's, its reaction was very fast. It adjusted its body and used its abdomen to withstand the attack of Gao Zhendong's dagger. At the same time, its whole body turned into mud and hugged Unit 00.

Seeing this scene, Fumihiko Ikari thought of the famous scene in the original work where the water angel self-destructed.

"Be careful! He is going to self-destruct—"

I thought this reminder might be too late, however... although the apostle wrapped the upper body of Unit 00 just like the Water Angel before its self-destruction in the original work, the self-destruction was not completed immediately.

Unit 00 used all its strength to unleash the AT force field to push the Angel away from its body, and then Ayanami Rei quickly distanced herself from the Angel without any doubt.

But even after such a long time, the apostle's self-destruction still could not be completed. Just when Ikari Fumihiko suspected that he had guessed wrong, the apostle's self-destruction began. His body shone and burst out with a strong light. The next moment, his body exploded like a C4 bomb, emitting a terrifying and strange cross light, like the judgment of God.

20:19:11

650 I Only Believe in You

The cross light shrouded in a sacred aura destroyed everything around it.

however……

The self-destruction only looks spectacular, but its power is equivalent to that of a 2-ton N mine.

Although the power of the explosion did not spread like an ordinary explosion, it was affected by the mysterious force and took a cross shape, which slightly enhanced the power of the explosion. However, unless it was resisted at close range, an explosion of this magnitude would hardly pose too much threat to Unit 95, whose average synchronization rate was maintained at over %, not to mention that this self-destruction gave Unit too much time to react.
