Chapter 125 Prologue

"The first machine? Shinji?! In the command room, Misato was surprised to see the Hatsushi suddenly appear on the screen, and the order issued by NERV was to deprive Shinji of the right to pilot Hatsui. Why is it not the puppet system that is fighting at this moment, but Shinji himself? Misato was puzzled by this, but she didn't have the time to think about the reason, because at this moment, the battle was still going on, and as the head of the first combat section, she had to command the battle immediately, but as soon as her red lips were lightened and she didn't speak, Misato gave up her mouth, because in retrospect, it seemed that Shinji had never fought according to his command. So this time, Misato kept silent, just reached out and grabbed the cross necklace on his chest, keeping a close eye on the battle. Leave everything to Shinji.

"Sister Miri, recover the second machine immediately." Sure enough, Shinji, who had just arrived at the battlefield, immediately took over the commanding position. "Leigh, send the second machine back."

"But, Shinji...... Be careful yourself. Liz stopped talking. In the end, I listened to Shinji's words. Manipulating the zero machine, grabbed the second machine that had fallen beside him, and ran behind the first machine. In the midst of the staggering, Shinji whispered reproach through his private voice.

"When this battle is over, I'm going to punish you, Leigh." Shinji frowned slightly. "With such a dangerous way of fighting, if something happens to you, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

"Shinji, I ......" Rei's body trembled slightly, and she was about to say something, but Shinji refuted it.

"Okay, Li, if there is anything to talk about later, let's send Aunt Zhen Xibo for treatment first."

"Cut...... It's all said that it's called my sister, what a disobedient child. In the second plane, the battered True Hippo-Marie weakly expressed her dissatisfaction. But there was no defense, and it was just supported by the zero machine and withdrew towards the NERV little by little.

"Sa, Celul, it's our playtime." Shinji clenched his fists and looked at the apostle in front of him with a wicked expression.

As if provoked by Shinji, the apostle's distorted face squirmed slightly. There was a hissing sound from what it could call a mouth organ, of course, it was only heard under the surveillance of Misato and the others at NERV, but on Shinji's side, Saleur's voice had changed drastically, and in Shinji's mind, it was a tearing sound as ugly as an old witch, of course, different from what Misato had heard. Shinji hears a real conversation.

"Boom...... Shinji-kun Ikari, have you been assimilated to the point where you can talk to us? The apostle's voice was hoarse and eerie, causing Shinji to frown.

"Hmph, I'd rather not understand you, it's really hard to hear." A sneer crossed the corners of Shinji's mouth, and he also thought in his head, transmitting his thoughts to Serul's head.

"Truly...... In that case, Shinji Ikari-kun. What are you waiting for? Even if you stay on Li Lin's side, you will be wiped out in the end. Come to our side yet. Sailul said to Shinji as he danced the blade belt around him. Being able to talk to me proves that the fruit of life in you has begun to grow. Then sooner or later one day you will be one of us. Why go against us for the sake of the shattered Li Lin. ”

"Actually, I have a question for you, Saleur." Shinji responded. "Both Rayliel and Baddiel have gained the ability to speak to me by eroding the human brain, but why can you speak to me directly?"

"Boom...... Ikari Shinji-kun, you must know that Li Lin is not the only one who has the ability to evolve and learn, and we are also gradually improving ourselves. Don't forget, we are different from Li Lin. It is because our physiological composition is different, but this does not affect our ability to learn, we are all living beings who have eaten the fruits of life, and we are also constantly learning in the long years. And. It's not that we can talk to Li Lin, it's you Shinji Ikati, you can talk to us. That's all. ”

"Cut, that is, you can't communicate with humans yet."

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

"No, nothing." Shinji shook his head. "Since you can't communicate, then stop talking nonsense, let's fight, I won't change my position anyway."

"Hmph, I don't know how to be flexible, since that's the case, then I'll fulfill you!" As he spoke, a light burst out of Serul's eyes, and the scorching light pointed straight at the first machine!

Bang!!!

The sound of hitting the glass pierced through, and the first machine calmly stretched out its left hand, using the powerful A.T. Field to prop up a wall of colored light, blocking Celul's attack.

"Celeur, this is not a place for fights, let's change positions." Shinji frowned as he looked at the huge hollow bombed out of Zenith City. "Let's go up there, it's easier to fight."

"Hmph, do you think I'm going to listen to you?" Cellul's unpleasant voice constantly stimulated Shinji's brain. "I'm going to be close to Adam here, how could I be stupid enough to go back...... Uh-huh!!! Before Celul could finish his sentence, he felt a powerful force hit him in the face. I saw that the first machine, which was just not far from him, had rushed over at a very fast speed at this moment, and reached out to grab his head.

"I said, let's fight in another place, you just keep up honestly." In an indifferent response, the first machine activated the wings of light, grabbed the apostle's distorted face, and flew towards the zenith city.

――――――――――――――――――A.T.Field―――――――――――――――――

Boom!!!

With a loud muffled thud, the Apostle was slammed into the armed city by the first machine.

"Woooooooooo......oo Damn it! Celeur struggled to his feet.

"I'm sorry, Serul." Shinji, who controlled the first plane flying in the air, pinched the bone knuckles and passed the message indifferently. "I don't have time to play with you for too long, Asuka just woke up, and I have to rush to see her. So, I went straight to giving it my all. With that, Shinji dispersed the wings of light and landed on the ground. And took out a power supply from a building and plugged it into the back of the first machine. Battle, on the verge of breaking out.

"Hmph, stinky boy, you die here for me!" With a shrill cry, Celul's eyes glowed red again, and an extremely harsh light shot towards the first machine. However, this time, Shinji did not turn on the A.T. Field to block, but instead dodged the attack of the light sideways, and at the same time, the first machine stabilized its body and rushed forward with all its might. Cracks were cracked like spiderwebs wherever they stood.

In just one breath, the first machine rushed in front of the apostle, and the apostle's reaction was extremely fast. Aiming at the first machine is another ray of light.

Burst!

Bang! Burst!!!

The sound of flesh being cut rang out at the same time as the sound of glass shattering. In the next second, blood flew all over the sky.

Looking at the bloody scene on the screen, Misato couldn't help but clench the cross on her chest. Just now, at the moment when the first machine rushed in front of the apostle, the apostle's scorching light shot out and pointed directly at the chest of the first machine. Shinji didn't open the A.T. Field block, but just flashed to the side. Dodged the fatal blow, and the light pierced the left rib of the first machine, and blood immediately gushed out. However, at the cost of abandoning his defenses, Shinji condensed all of A.T. Field in his left hand, and punched through the apostle's thick wall of light, and at the same time hit the apostle's face with the remaining strength, due to the blocking of the wall of light. As a result, the fist that was supposed to blow the apostle's entire face away only shaved off half of the apostle's face. But it was enough to inflict great trauma on the apostles. At the cost of having his left rib pierced, Shinji was rewarded with an attack that cost the apostle most of his combat power.

"Uhhhh!!!h Sailul's miserable cries rang out. While inflicting heavy damage, he also wielded the blade belt around his body, forcing back further attacks from the first machine. And he quickly retreated backwards, floating in the air. "Damn. Damn! You stinky little ghost! How dare you hit me so hard! The apostle's shrill shouts kept pouring into Shinji's mind.

"Cut. Knock off half of your head, and you're still alive and kicking like this. Shinji snorted coldly. He rubbed his left rib. "But that's fine, knock out half of your head, at least you can't use that damn light."

"Shinji Ikari! I want you to die a good death! "The wounded beast is the most terrible. The same true true of the apostles. I saw the apostle curl up with all the blades around him, and after the charge was finished, he shot towards the first machine at a very fast speed. In the face of the attack of dozens of blade belts, the first machine had no chance to dodge at all. Or maybe he didn't plan to dodge at all, but directly reached out and pushed out of the A.T. Field to block the attack.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of crashing is endless. Although the attack was fierce, it was blocked by the light wall of the first machine.

"Damn! Damn it! Damn it! The apostle roared. While attacking frantically. Don't give the first machine a chance to fight back at all. On the other side, although Shinji used A.T. Field to block the Apostle's attack, Shinji's face was not optimistic at the moment, and in the face of Serul's stormy attack, Shinji couldn't spare his hand to fight back. And he himself knew that he couldn't knock Sailor down by holding A.T. Field all the time. Because only he knows the power of the Apostle's blade attack.

Click......

A crisp sound rang out, and the Apostle's most powerful blade sliced a thin crack in the A.T. Field of the First Machine. Although it was only a small crack, it seemed to allow Celul to find a breakthrough, and in just an instant, several blade belts changed direction and smashed towards the crack in the center. Once, twice, the crack gradually expanded with the number of attacks. Eventually, the wall of light erected by the first machine could no longer withstand the apostle's attack. After assembling seven blades at once, A.T. Field of the first machine was finally unable to resist. Turned into a point of light. At the same time, the attack that was not exhausted was also aimed at the first machine. Dust was lifted in an instant.

Retracting the blade belt, Celul gasped violently. Half of his face was knocked away and he was also injured a lot, although there was a recovery of the fruit of life, but it was impossible to recover in a short period of time, and after a crazy attack, he finally broke the A.T. Field of the first machine. Before the smoke clears, he must recover himself as quickly as possible in case of a sudden sneak attack from the smoke by Hatsuki.

After a long time, the smoke cleared, and the ground that the apostle had attacked was already empty, except for a few holes made by the blade belt and a fiery cable. Looking up, with the only remaining eye, Celul saw the conjuring wings of light, and the first plane floating in the air was unscathed. It turned out that just when the blade belt broke the A.T. Field, Shinji also quickly conjured up the wings of light and flew out of the range of the apostle's attack, due to the change in the direction of the blade belt, the first machine was able to barely dodge the apostle's attack, although the first machine was able to dodge, but the umbilical cable behind him could not be brought up so quickly. So, while the blade band rubbed the body of the first machine and hit the ground, it also cut the umbilical cable behind the first fuselage, and at this moment, on the screen in front of Shinji, the countdown to five minutes was beating rapidly.

"Whew...... It's really hard to deal with. Shinji piloted the ground where the first plane slowly descended. Well, in that case, I'll try what I just learned from Aunt Mahippo. As he spoke, Shinji stood up from the plug.

"Shinji-kun, let me warn you first." Just as Shinji was about to make his next move, Ritsuko's nervous voice came in his ears. "The structure of the first machine and the second machine is completely different, and he does not have the ability to become a beast like the second machine." Ritsuko saw through Shinji's thoughts and hurriedly reminded her.

"Well...... How do you know if you don't try? Shinji closed his eyes and adjusted his emotions.

"The first machine, the mode is reversed." Shinji spoke slowly. After receiving Shinji's order, the light of the first machine to insert the bolt was instantly extinguished. In the next second, Shinji's eyes full of essence suddenly opened, and the pupil color in his left eye instantly turned blood red, and the momentum around his body changed abruptly. "CODE: THE.BEAST!" (To be continued......)
