336. Can't help! It's hopeless! Leave!
EVA World
New Third Tokyo City
The city was once lined with buildings, and now it was a black, scorched earth, as if it had been ravaged by lava from a volcanic eruption.
All the defenses on the ground were destroyed, and only underground facilities remained.
Underground, the twenty-four layers of armor of the defense were pierced several holes, and the NERV base was also damaged to a certain extent.
The second machine was seriously injured, and the zero machine also needed to be repaired, and the first machine still does not accept the [puppet bolt] and cannot be started.
After unleashing the blazing flames that destroyed the city and the army, the Black Howling Dragon turned into a huge white cocoon that covered almost half of the city, and a huge white circle of light was formed over the city.
All attempts at the giant cocoon have failed.
The only thing that is certain is what it is bringing, a huge creature.
And then...
“... How did I open the door and get here? ”
Just as the NERV base was busy, a wooden door appeared out of thin air, and Hideyoshi walked out, looking confused.
"Hmm... What's going on now? ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ dividing line ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After learning what was going on, Hideyoshi said...
[Flat Crane Three-in-Row] -- can't help! It's hopeless! Leave!
Let's not talk about the problem of [Power Angel] first, your army went crazy to attack Xiao Hei, and let him go crazy directly...
And to this extent?!
No way!
This is the first time I've seen the Black Howling Dragon egg!
Do you know what that means?!
This means that after a while, the Black Dragon King, [Nighogg], will appear in his real form!
This means that there is a good chance that we will be facing a black dragon as huge as a mountain!
Let me help? If he is really angry to the point that his six relatives don't recognize him, I may also be seconded!
......
In the end, Hideyoshi 'volunteered to stay'...
Can it not be voluntary? The bubbles have just spoken, do I dare not stay?
Bubbles can be called [Lord of Ten Thousand Keys and Ten Thousand Gates], theoretically all doors are under his control, and so are cross-border portals.
If I refuse, the hell knows how the portal back will take me there...
The people at the NERV base were also a little confused, and Hideyoshi, who was about to leave with his leg raised in the next second, suddenly changed his attitude and wanted to help them...
What's the situation?
Although it is a little inexplicable, because of the addition of Hideyoshi, NERV's morale has been improved, after all, the two are also 'unfathomable' and come from the 'same world'.
And then...
"I can't beat him."
"Prepare for the Earth to disappear~"
Hideyoshi's two words made everyone present fall into an ice cellar.
And Hideyoshi's later explanation made everyone present fall into despair.
What is the Black Howling Dragon, what is his current state, and what will be the result...
What is the Alchemy Dragons, what kind of power they have, how powerful they are...
And, what Hideyoshi doesn't know now, the huge aperture...
Every truth makes people know their own insignificance and despair.
"What are our odds of winning?" Ikari Gendo walked up to Hideyoshi and asked.
"Hmm~ if it's the worst-case scenario... Five percent, or less~" Hideyoshi shrugged. "Even in the best-case scenario, it's probably only one percent... Twenty bar~"
"Anyway, what's going on over there~ Is the fryer there?"
“......”
In the face of Hideyoshi's question, Ikari Gendo did not speak.
"The dragon clan will produce special electromagnetic waves during the [eggification] process, which will interfere with your communication at this stage." Hideyoshi said. "And at the level of the Black Dragon King, it is estimated that the communication of half the world has been disturbed, and the communication of this part of the city should be completely cut off..."
"Neither your plan nor the group's plan will be carried out..."
"So, don't make trouble~"
“... Is there a chance..."
"I don't know much about that, but some people do~" Hideyoshi said.
The conversation between Hideyoshi and Ikari Gendo made the people around him hear it in a fog.
As someone who knows some insiders, Misato Katsuragi and others are the same, but Hideyoshi then prevents them from further questioning.
"Let's take our places~" Hideyoshi said to the people around him. "It will take some time for Xiao Hei's eggification, so let's make all the preparations that can be done now~"
"Repair EVA, treat the driver, survey the enemy, count the material or something, do what you can do quickly~"
"I don't know if I have a chance in the future~"
"Release all the combat power, and the next thing is related to the survival of your planet!"

NERV base
A hallway
Hideyoshi was looking through his database, searching for information about the huge aperture in the sky.
And at this moment, the light in the corridor flashed for a moment
“......”
Hideyoshi looked up at the pitch-black passage ahead.
"I haven't seen you for a long time or it's the first time we've met~"
A thin black man in a suit and leather shoes stepped out of the darkness and said to Hideyoshi.
"Naia," Hideyoshi said, looking at Naia Latotip in human form in front of him. Sure enough, you made it all by you..."
"No, no, no, I didn't do anything~" Naia shook a finger and smiled. "I just gave some small 'advice'~"
"Their own greed. Desire. Ignorance is the fuse of all this~"
"And I'm just a little push~"
"Instigating the [Power Angel] and the army to sneak up on Koheo," Hideyoshi said. Or rather, you've been talking to the people in Seele for a long time..."
"Also, it's to make Xiao Hei's fire burn bigger..."
"You're so idle..."
"That's right, your speculation is right~" Naia smiled. "Then, there is my favorite scene~"
"The despair of humanity," Hideyoshi said first.
"Yes, that's it, but..."
“... It's not over yet, is it? You guys, there's still a chance~"
"Let me see, their struggles in despair, and their final destruction... Or something else~"
“... If you just throw a few [Flying Hydras] or something like that, they will have absolutely no chance of turning the tables..."
"No, no, no, in that case, isn't it boring?" Naia still had a smile on her face. "I'm looking forward to your performance in the future~"
After saying that, Hideyoshi blinked his eyes unconsciously, and the black man disappeared in front of him, and the entire passage returned to normal.
“... Headache..."

NERV meeting room
All the EVA motorists gathered again at the moment
Iryu Asuka Langeray, who was asked to be released by Hideyoshi
Shinji Ikari who was recovered
Mahipo Marie Elantrias who was cured by Hideyoshi
Rei Ayana
And...
"Hmm..."Hideyoshi looked at Kaoru Nagisa in front of him wearing a purple combat uniform, that is, the seventeenth apostle, [Angel of Freedom], and was a little stunned.
"Forget it, there's one that's..."
As he spoke, Hideyoshi threw out a spherical instrument, and a blue 3D projection appeared.
"Good news and bad news..."
"The good news is that Blackie... It's [Black Dragon], although he is a little angry, but he is still a little sensible, and he replied to the communication I gave him..."
"Although, he told me to get out..."
"The bad news is, I know what that aperture is..."
Speaking of which, Hideyoshi paused for a moment and continued.
"I don't know where the energy came from there, enough to completely destroy the earth."
Hearing the news, everyone's hearts were lifted.
"He should want to destroy the earth with the borrowed Noble Phantasm, as for what the Noble Phantasm is, I'll talk about it later..."
"If you let him launch and hit any part of the earth... That's the end of it~" Hideyoshi shrugged. "I guess there's only a little dust left on the earth."
"......" Everyone did not speak.
"Next up is your mission..."
With a wave of Hideyoshi's hand, the projection in front of him changed to five different EVAs.
"I'll try my best to improve the performance of your body in a limited time, although it won't have much effect..."Hideyoshi said, "The [Black Dragon's] [Ovival] process won't be too short, as long as no one makes trouble..."
Speaking of this, Hideyoshi glanced at the five drivers in front of him.
"No matter what forces are behind it, what the reason is, what it is, you'd better not make trouble at this time..."
"Also, your main role is to harass, don't think about relying on you to win him or something..."Hideyoshi continued. You're lucky to have survived this battle..."
"The specific plan will be passed on to you by Miss Misato, so if you have any questions, ask now."
"I have a problem~"
Mahima, who was wearing a pink driver's suit, raised his hand.
"He's doing that so-called [Ovival] can't move, so why don't we attack him now?"
"The [Alchemy Dragons] are the most powerful creatures that have evolved, do you think they are defenseless in this state?" Hideyoshi said with some mockery. "What's more, this is still their king~"
It is true that the [Alchemy Dragons] are very weak in the [Ovidu] state, but they are very smart and never put themselves in danger.
After all, in their world of the dragon clan, almost all the attacks of the group of people who specialize in dragon slaying against the dragon clan during the [eggification] period have failed.
Now, is it crazy that Xiao Hei is so blatantly [egging] on the ground?
If he hadn't gone crazy, there was only one possibility - he wasn't afraid at all.
"It's better not to die~" Hideyoshi said. "Exposure to external stimuli in the [Ovival] state will be accelerated, and our time is very important now, so it's best..."
Bang!
Suddenly, the door to the conference room was pushed open, and Misato Katsuragi rushed in.
"I just received news that the armies of various countries are about to launch an attack on the [Black Dragon]'s cocoon!"
“... WTF?! ”
At this moment, above the ruins of the new Third Tokyo City, the white cocoon was beating, and a large number of tanks and planes surrounded it around it and in the sky.
Boom Boom Boom!
Countless salvos of artillery fire, the target of which was the giant cocoon formed by the Black Howling Dragon.
Bite~
The bullets and projectiles all stopped around the cocoon, and then began to disappear little by little.
Whew-la-la-!
Then, a trace of blue electric light appeared in the air, and more and more.
Psionic Storm!
Rumble!
A terrifying blue bolt of lightning swept through all the surrounding areas, instantly destroying all the attacking armies.
Immediately afterward, a loud beating sound resounded throughout the ruins of the city.
"How... What's going on? ”
Underground, because of the sudden attack of the Black Howling Dragon, the circuits of the entire base were completely short-circuited, and they fell into pitch black.
Time - Turn!
It was as if time had been reversed, and the power at the base had been restored.
"Mom, I'm really in trouble right now..."A scroll of unknown material in Hideyoshi's hand turned to ashes. There's not much time left..."
