Columns of energy escaped from the No. 6 body and connected to the center of the Soul Gate, where they interacted with some kind of energy, and the entire body emitted a dazzling light.

The earth began to shake and grow in intensity, a sign that the Black Moon was about to break through the ground.

At this time, the citizens of the old Tokyo area had just received an emergency disaster warning issued by the government, and the volcano of Mt. Fuji had erupted. A black mushroom cloud of volcanic ash, spreading under the influence of wind and air convection, rose above the horizon with a rumbling sound in the sky, causing widespread panic and people to rush to timeouts and convenience stores to buy food and water.

Then, suddenly, the sky turned blood-red. It's not the sunset red of dusk, but the air is soaked in blood, and it's a palpitating anomaly, like covering your eyes with red plastic sheet. Countless residents walked out of the building and began to look around, overwhelmed.

So much so that not many people paid attention to the white trails of the three missiles that crossed at high speed in the ground and air.

Nuclear weapons, the most powerful weapon in human possession, have finally been dispatched, and although the N² bomb is green and pollution-free, it is still because of its lack of power. At a time when humanity is facing life and death, it is no longer time to be concerned about nuclear contamination.

Under the guidance of satellites and microwaves, three 1 million tons of three-phase bombs (a powerful version of the hydrogen bomb) quickly arrived over the Soul Gate, where the space environment has undergone unpredictable changes, electromagnetic waves are absorbed or shielded, and the missile can only rely on inertial guidance and terrain image recognition to continue to move towards the landing point.

Three streamers fell from the sky!

When I observed the city of Tokyo at a distance of 45 kilometers, I saw a dazzling sun rising in the sky, and a fireball with a diameter of 4 kilometers rose in an instant. The shock wave propagates outward, and its negative phase part causes the density of the air to decrease rapidly, forming a white ring that condenses when two lines of water vapor are formed...... The reflection of the shock wave on the ground near the projection point of the explosion and the suction of the negative phase caused the ground to set off a huge dust column, which connected with the smoke cloud, forming a mushroom-shaped smoke cloud with a height of more than 18 kilometers......

The electromagnetic waves generated by the explosion of the hydrogen bomb swept through all sophisticated electronic equipment, including satellites in space, and received considerable interference. The detectors deployed on the periphery, the sensors and circuits were broken down and scrapped one after another, and the large screen of the Central Operations Command Room went black, and countless warning windows popped up. If it weren't for the depths of the lows, more electronic devices would have to be scrapped.

It will take time for communications to be restored, and at least in a quarter of an hour, NERV JPN will be blind and deaf.

However, after the nuclear strike, the door of the soul was not closed, and the ritual of launching the third shock was not interrupted, and the hearts of everyone gradually cast a shadow of despair.

At this time, on the battlefield in the center of the Izu Peninsula, the original valley had been reduced to a scorched earth, forming a large crater more than a kilometer wide and 50 meters deep. An overpressure shock wave of 5 psi knocked down trees within a 6.7-kilometer radius, and those that were closer to the center of the explosion turned into coke and burned. Radiation intensity in space exceeds 6 Sv, which can be fatal if you exclude the extreme negative effects of a high-temperature vacuum.

Burst!

A glowing white mech emerges from the dirt and rocks, and the Six is pinned into the ground by a powerful shockwave. Sure enough, nuclear weapons of this yield still do not work. After all, the energy released by a mature typhoon every 20 minutes is equivalent to detonating a nuclear bomb with a yield of 10 million tons, and the energy released per hour is equal to the power of the explosion of more than 2,600 Hiroshima atomic bombs, although the power is dispersed.

At this time, the No. 6 machine was not intact, and the armor on the surface of the body was almost half melted under the action of X-rays and thermal radiation, and the epidermis was also scorched in a large area. The spear of Longinus and the spear of Cassius in its hand had reverted to a state of twisted guns that could not distinguish each other.

However, the Soul Gate was not closed, and the formless energy pillars that penetrated from the Soul Gate twisted and twitched as if it had life.

The injuries on the surface of the sixth body are recovering at a speed that is visible to the naked eye...... And take to the skies again!

Suddenly, the movement of the sixth machine froze.

When he looked down, he saw a smoking arm grabbing one of its legs.

"What?!"

It's the first machine!

The first machine, which was in tatters, quickly coiled onto the No. 6 machine like a python, grabbed the two guns with both hands, wrapped them around the No. 6 body, and then gnawed desperately at the neck of the No. 6 machine.

Poof!

The blood gushing out of the arteries fell on the hot glazed ground like a high-pressure water cannon spraying water, making a swishing sound and evaporating a large amount of blood mist.

Boom!

A disc-shaped air flow exploded between the two mechs, tearing the air apart. The first machine knocked the sixth machine away with a knee hit, and recaptured the two guns.

Poof!

A huge and hideous head fell to the ground, and the first machine actually gnawed off the neck of the sixth machine and completely tore it apart.

The headless machine six did not lose its ability to move, and after re-lifting, the Soul Gate closed in a matter of seconds, and the night sky within a radius of thousands of miles finally returned to normal. It seems that mastering the twin guns turned out to be the key to launching the third onslaught.

The sixth machine did not expect that he would be attacked by the first plane under his serious injury, and was silent for a while in front of the first plane, and soon turned into a black dot and appeared in the night sky.

Adam's doppelganger is not like the average Apostle and EVA, but has a core presence. This guy has no weaknesses, and it's okay if he loses his head.

After it was determined that the sixth machine had disappeared, the first machine knelt on the ground, pressed its body with two guns, and entered a quasi-restrained state.

What a warm feeling...... Shinji's consciousness gradually cleared, and he felt very comfortable swimming in the warm water, with a sense of relaxation and security that he had never felt before.

Slowly open your eyes, and you will see the dazzling sunlight.

"Shhhhh......h

Shinji looked around and found himself floating naked on the surface of the lake. Looking around, there is nothing and a hazy sense of the unknown. Not far away, under the tree by the lake, there was a woman in white, with a somewhat familiar back, sitting on a chaise longue reading a book.

He felt his heartbeat beat a little faster, and his whole body suddenly floated up, and he couldn't help but approach the woman's figure.

"Wake up, my little Shinji. The woman looked back and smiled lovingly, a face that was enough to seduce all beings.

"Mom?"

Shinji's heart was shocked, and it turned out to be Ikari Yui. And the sound and smile are no different from those years. Although she hadn't seen her for more than ten years, Shinji was full of gratitude and admiration for her. I couldn't help but ask, "Where is this? Why are you here?"

Ikari touched his head and smiled, "Shinji has grown up and become a man." I'm so glad you still recognize your mother, I thought you forgot. ”

"How could it be. I know that you have always been there for me and protected me. ”

Ikari Yui hugged him into his arms, "Mom, I'm sorry for you, I've been working hard for you." ”

"By the way, am I dead? ”

"No, this is the spiritual world I built. Ikari Yui looked at Caixia in the sky, "Now I ...... The way of existence is quite special, maybe it is just a touch of unwilling consciousness before my death, which has made me persist until now. ”

"Father has been trying to find a way to see you, even resurrected ......"

Ikari interrupted: "It doesn't make sense, what he's been chasing is not what I want." ”

She stroked Shinji's face and said, "Seeing you the way you are now, I have no regrets." ”

"But ......"

"I'm running out of time...... Ikari said, and the scene around him suddenly distorted, as if looking through the heat of water vapor.

"What's going on? What can I do to get you out?" Shinji said in a hurry.

"There's no way, if the first machine stays awake, it won't be able to stay here...... However, it's time to make up your mind, and I've been reluctant to let you ...... before."

Shinji noticed that from the horizon, the lake and mountains were gradually swallowed up by darkness.

"Listen, Shinji. Ikari Yui looked into Shinji's eyes gently, "The S² energy core is a mysterious and strange existence. They are connected to another universe and cannot exist on their own, and must rely on the Apostles or EVAs to observe activity. However, I've felt it ever since the first machine got the S² trap...... They are conscious, they are living creatures, and they can even communicate with each other......"

The sky gradually darkened, and even the lake began to blur and disappear.

"What the hell is going on, what will happen to you?" Shinji had a lot of questions in his mind.

A wry smile appeared on the corner of Ikari Yui's lips, "I can't help it." Mom won't disappear, but go to another universe to explore the unknown, which is the mysterious world connected by the S² mechanism, and I've always been interested. ”

Ikari said, a ball of light appeared on his forehead, floating in the air between the two of them, "This is the description of the power of the apostles in the Dead Sea Codex, as well as some of my research insights...... Remember, don't rely too much on the S² core, because using this power is not unlimited, nor is it a ...... without a price."

The light flickered, and it instantly sank into Shinji's eyebrows. He shook his head, not noticing anything unusual.

"I'm sorry, Mom can't continue to protect you, you can only rely on yourself in the future......" Ikari was in tears, full of reluctance, but her body gradually became transparent.

"Wait, I ......"

At this time, Ikari Yui had turned into a point of light and disappeared into the sky.

Shinji felt like he was stepping on the air, and he kept falling in the darkness, and he couldn't stop......
