"It's really an awkward little ghost...... "Misato, who poured two more sips of sake, and her face was slightly red, lying on the table with her face turned sideways.

"It's okay, the regrets planted with your own hands are not so easy to let go."

"Yes......" Misato's eyes wandered.

"Anyway, you're still injured, so it doesn't matter if you drink?"

"Skin trauma, skin trauma, tomorrow will almost be all right." Misato pulled her phone out of her pocket. "Hey, this is Katsuragi...... What did you say? ”

"The Mauna Kea Observatory reported that three minutes ago, it suddenly appeared over the Pacific Ocean." The group reluctantly returned to the headquarters to work overtime.

"AT stance that distorts even light...... Terrible. ”

"The N2 aviation thunderbolt didn't work at all." The screen switches to the cosmic upper earth orbit, and dozens of combat satellites shoot tactical-grade N2 aviation blasts at the Apostle, but the huge fireball with a radius of 3 kilometers generated by the tactical-level N2 explosion is not as big as the glasses pattern crossed by the apostle's surface.

"The diameter of the apostle is 32 kilometers, and the mass cannot be measured because of the AT position, but according to the data of the previous apostles, the mass of the apostles is about 30 billion tons." Ibuki holds the report in his hand. "The way in which the apostles are attacking now is unknown."

"Shinji?"

"Generally under the impetus of the AT position, the Apostle himself is a bomb." Ian looked at the empty angel in the image of the black ball ball in this theatrical version. "Where's the strategic-level N2 Thunderbolt?"

"The United States and East Asia are reworking existing ballistic missiles, but the accuracy is very problematic, and they can only be fired at close range, and it is difficult to hit them directly. Maozi, for his part, unsealed the strategic anti-aircraft weapons of the Soviet era and were refueling. ”

"That fabled plan to defend N2 weapons with N2 weapons?"

"Hmm. They are in the process of refitting strategic anti-aircraft missiles with strategic warheads, which should work. ”

"Well, our combat operations began after the strategic N2 aviation mine explosion was ineffective." Misato closed the report in her hand. "Turn your minds around and give me every solution you can think of. Meeting. ”

“…… Even if EVA can fly, this plan is too messy, right? Ritsuko looked at the two proposals proposed by Misato.

Option 1: EVA carries the existing weapons that can be used in the universe and flies directly into space to engage the Apostles.

Option 2: The three EVA machines are on standby on the ground, and after catching the Apostle on the ground, the Apostle will be annihilated.

"That's a sphere with a diameter of 36 kilometers, and now there is no way to determine the core location of the Apostle, and now there is theoretically no weapon that can penetrate this level of AT position except for the Longinus gun."

"Then bring the Longinus gun, and besides, aren't the second, third, and fourth guns all in the third new Tokyo?"

"The Apostle Move Begins! , now accelerating down in the middle, according to the track trend...... The estimated drop point is ......"

"Of course it's here."

"After the apostle falls, the diameter of the explosion is about 420,000, the depth is 15,000, the third new Tokyo city will evaporate, and the underground city will be completely destroyed, not to mention the central ditch, and the dogma will eventually leak out." Ibuki read the data calculated by MAGI.

"Then again, according to the declassified Dead Sea Papers, didn't the Apostle have to touch Lilith to trigger the third shock? Why does this apostle look like he's going to blow up along with humans and Lilith..."Misato turned her pen in pain.

"According to the yet-to-be-unpublished Dead Sea Document DLC1 (Nagisa Kaoru Oral Version), the apostles after the Third Apostle actually wanted to kill Lilith." Ian put down the coffee cup in his hand. "My enterprise number will fight a wave first, and then use EVA if the conventional attack is ineffective."

"Agreed, Misato?" Ritsuko closed the file as well.

"Well, the Enterprise attacked first. EVA is ready to go. ”

"Linda, let's do it."

"Understood, the Enterprise is on attack track."

"Main gun aiming." Three giant turbolaser cannons above the front of the Enterprise were aimed at the Apostles.

"Fire."

Six green blast beams hit the Apostle straight at each other.

Then, like a feather, it slipped along the edge of the apostle and went to the other side of the apostle.

“……… it! ”×n

"Linda, Mini Starkiller Charge."

"Ian, calm down."

"I'm calm... That level of spatial distortion I think requires the use of phantom energy to break the continuity of space, and then use it to attack the Apostle's body. ”

"But we don't have 30 minutes left, and the apostle will be only a hundred kilometers away after 30 minutes. Beams of phantom energy ignite the atmosphere. ”

"Hell... I forgot about it. What about the weight of the anti-core cannon? ”

"You can give it a try."

While the two were deliberating, the main guns fired three more rounds. Still unable to directly hit the Apostle.

"Slippery guy—" Ian got up from his seat. I went to the hangar. ”

"Didn't the shelling of your ship work either?" Asuka puts on her driving suit next door.

"Well, the space itself is distorted by the AT position, the AT position cannot be neutralized, the space distortion cannot be neutralized, and the shelling cannot hit the Apostle itself."

Ian pressed the button on his wrist. The driving suit was exhausted and turned into a straitjacket.

"I still can't get used to it... Straitjacket. There is no sense of security at all. ”

"Now the apostles are moving, twelve thousand kilometers away."

"The apostle is still growing at a high speed, and the first cosmic speed has broken through, and now the speed is eight kilometers per second."

"MAGI then calculates that the apostle's probability of hitting the main part is 99.99999999999%. But if you fall at that speed, let alone the third new Tokyo, the whole earth will be doomed. Even the meteorites that exterminated the dinosaurs didn't have such a large mass. ”

"The Apostle is about to reach the skies over the Third New Tokyo City. Entering the range of the Twin Mountains Fortress, the first wave of the positive electron cannon is launched. On the East Asian side, as well as on the Maozi side, the NTMD (National Strategic Missile Defense System) was launched. ”

Four light green beams of light rose from the Twin Mountains, drew an arc next to the apostle, and shot straight into the universe.

A few minutes later, two huge missiles hit the Apostle almost simultaneously, and the huge flash of light interfered with the observation of the Apostle for a moment. Those were two strategic missile defense missiles with a strategic-grade N2 warhead temporarily modified.

"None... No, the apostles slowed down. Confirm that the large-yield N2 explosion is effective! ”

"But there's no time, what about EVA's preparations?"

"The three aircraft are in the process of changing the flight components, and there are still three points to be completed."

"On the Siberian side, as well as on the East Asian side, a large number of large missiles have been found to be in the air again, which is ... Former Soviet A-135 series of strategic anti-aircraft missiles and Dongfeng series. ”

"According to MAGI's calculations, these missiles will arrive at a distance of thirty meters from the apostle almost simultaneously after three minutes."

"Won't you blow the atmosphere away, hey?" Ian sat in the first plane to adjust the AT stand flight device that had just been installed. Yu Guang watched the missile swarms that had lifted off from China and Russia.

With a total of more than 200 ICBMs, any P5 country will have to break its bones.

"Bullet before 5... 4… 3… 2… 1 bounced! ”

The entire sky lit up in an instant, without the restrictions of the atmosphere, and violent electromagnetic waves swept across the entire solar system.

Misato and his party opened their mouths slightly and looked at the big screen with only snowflakes left.

"What's going on?"

"MAGI analysis believes that those A-135 strategic anti-aircraft missiles still have nuclear warheads that have not been replaced... The EMP produced by a nuclear explosion destroyed almost all of the artificial satellites of the Earth's sphere. ”

“…… It's exciting, remember to ask the League of Nations not to send the bill here. Shinji-kun? ”

Fifteen minutes later, the new integrated satellite was in place, and the space junk cleanup began over the Pacific Ocean in about five minutes. You guys are really 666... Even I wouldn't dare to explode a nuclear bomb in low-earth orbit..."

Now it's all about bombing antimatter weapons in low-earth orbit ... At least there is little radiation, and the annihilation reaction basically does not involve the release of γ rays.

"The optical sensor recovered, according to the calculations ... The apostle is in the whereabouts, and the distance is eighteen thousand! ”

"EVA full machine, dispatch."

Three EVAs were ejected to the ground by catapults.

I moved my hands and feet and confirmed the synchronization rate again.

"Very well, we..."

"Miss Ben will go first~" The second machine bent over and half squatted, holding the ground with his right hand, with the second machine as the center, and the air flow was disturbed.

Then the head armor of the second plane opened, the second plane raised its head, and the eight eyes lit up at the same time, two pairs of light wings were opened, and a halo appeared above the head.

The wings were violently incited, and the second plane rushed into the sky.

"It's like a red meteor ......" Before he could finish speaking, Ian forced himself to shut up.

Can't play memes across works.

"It's like a red comet," Rei Ayaami's voice rang in my ears.

Ian's face fell, who understands what you say!

"Gone, Leigh."

A halo appeared above the head of the first plane, and it rushed directly into the sky without warning.

Zero set off half a second slower and followed closely.

In the middle of the flight, the white wings of light slowly spread behind the Zero, which had been redressed in blue and white paint.

Looking at the three EVAs, it seems that the first machine, which is just spraying the AT stance downwards, is relatively unpretentious.

"AT Position, Full Open." Asuka's voice came from the communicator.

In the next second, a huge hexagonal stand with a diameter of nearly forty kilometers appeared over the first plane.

"Boom!"

The Apostle, who was still in the form of a black sphere, slammed into the open position of the second machine.

A huge shock wave directly blew away all the clouds within a radius of a hundred kilometers.

"Bang bang bang bang ...", a black hexagon, a materialized AT stance with a white pattern on it, shattered to the ground on the orange stand. The apostolic ontology...

It's like throwing an octopus ball on the ground...

As if "Smack! With a bang, all the bodies were flattened in an instant.

"Apostle! Fall speed 0! ”

"Awesome..."

"When the No. 2 machine is fully open, the atmosphere around it is red... Stand all open. The first machine reached up with his hands and touched the position of the second machine, and then, Ian added a handful of ingredients to her.

Distorted by the high concentration of positions, the area around the first machine was dyed purple.

"Machine Zero, full stance." Unit Zero also caught up, and there was no discoloration around Unit Zero, except that Unit Zero itself seemed to be glowing.

The apostle quietly floated up a little, leaned out in the center, pressed his hands down, and the palm of the second machine against the palm, and then began to erode the position...

Erosion does not move...

Even with the empty (physical) eyes of the apostle, the three Ian felt a strong sense of confusion in him.

The apostle withdrew one hand and transformed into a spiral spear, DuangDuangDuangDuang's smashing position...

It can't be smashed...

After a few dozen smashes, the apostle also gave up.

The right hand changes back to the shape of an arm, and the two hollows in the face and the eleven eyes of the three EVAs look at each other.

The cavity grew redder and redder until it began to glow red to the point of almost whitening.

"Are you going to speed up..."

Then the light in the apostle's eyes suddenly disappeared, and in the next moment, a flash of cross burst out in front of the apostle.

A CROSS BEAM SLAMMED DOWN, SPARKS SHOT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF AT'S POSITION, AND THE ORIGINALLY CLOSED BEAM RETURNED INTO DOZENS OF BEAMS THAT WERE REFLECTED BACK, SCRATCHING HUNDREDS OF SCARS ON THE APOSTLE'S BODY.

"Kaoru Nagisa?"

"I'm here."

"Talk to him."

"Okay."

The red light in the apostle's eyes faded into silence.

"Linda, help me keep an eye on Kaoru Nagisa, I'll push this big guy into the satellite orbit first."

"Ian-san."

"Huh?"

"Give him a treat."

"What happened?"

"The flesh must be abandoned, and as long as Lilith remains, we can be resurrected."

“…… God babble. "Ian converted the two turbolaser cannons equipped on the right hand of the first machine into electromagnetic cannons. Let go of a part of the position and aim at the heart of the apostles.

"Don't look at me..."Ian saw the apostle's empty eyes staring at him in a daze, very uncomfortable.

Originally, the apostle's face was bitter, looking at himself so dejectedly...

It feels like a faceless man...

Ugly, cute, ugly...

The apostle's core shifted its position closer to the muzzle.

It's more like a faceless man who gives gold coins to others...

"See you soon," Ian whispered to himself, then pulled the trigger.

At the moment when the cannonball fired, Ian noticed that the Apostle nodded slightly.

"Hey...!!"

"Smack!" The core hit by the electromagnetic cannon shattered instantly.

A large amount of blood poured out from above the apostles.

After a few seconds, the apostle's body collapsed and exploded. A cross exploded into the air.

"Uncle... It just nodded... When you say goodbye..."The three EVAs landed slowly, and Asuka turned her head to look at Ian, who was silent.

"Hmm... It did respond to me. Ian curled up his legs, his chin propped up on his knees. What the hell is going on..."

Ian's fingers were on his knees.

"If only I could understand... Does that mean it actually survives? Rei also looked at Ian, who was curled up in a ball.

"No, it chose death." Ian looked up at the explosion of the Cross that was putting the fireworks in the air. "Nagisa... Cauterize? ”

Connected to Kaoru Nagisa's phone, there was only the sound of the piano on the other side of the phone, and the sound of Kaoru Nagisa singing.

“At the very beginning，we were created

In the primordial moments, we were created

To live together but soon，we hated

We survive and coexist together, but soon hate each other

In greed and selflishness，we could never prosper

In fear and selfishness, one can never prosper

Created enemies against gods will

to create enemies against God's will"

When Ian heard Kaoru Nagisa sing it for the second time, he was thinking, isn't this a broken BGM?

"Ian-san, this is the fate of your human race... The escaped apostles, the created humans, the ADAMS who hunted them here, and the humans who are forever restless about the plans to complete the plan. On the screen, Kaoru Nagisa leaked a sad smile. It's just disobeying their will..."

"Get out." (｀⌒?? "Lao Tzu is not a human on your side. ”

Ian was so excited that he spat a bubble in the LCL.

"They're so awesome that they just come directly to the end of the world, and they need to engage in conspiracy?"
