One chapter every night, so be careful, don't wait for the second chapter.

"......"

The Tenth Apostle let out a long roar that resembled laughter after shaving off the head of Machine Two with great ease, and then flew towards Machine Two with two streamer-like arms.

Although Shinji Ikari, who was watching this scene in front of the LCD in Gnacuri, didn't know what the Tenth Apostle wanted to do to Machine Two, he knew that it would definitely not be the one who knelt down and cried and said sorry.

Just as Shinji Ikari was sweating for the fate of Unit 2 and Asuka, a shuttle of bullets suddenly came from the side of the Tenth Apostle, and Unit Zero, who was in charge of support, was finally late.

"Li, just lure the apostle away, don't rely too late, we will find a way to recover Asuka."

In the combat headquarters, Misato Katsuragi, who came to his senses, immediately admonished Rei Ayabaami, who was charging at the Apostle with an automatic rifle.

The reason why Misato Katsuragi let Asuka attack and Ayanami Rei support was not because she particularly favored Ayanami, or she knew that Colonel Chu Xuan and Commander Ikari Gendo both favored Ayanami Rei, but because Ayanami's driving skills and combat level were not as good as Asuka's.

- Although Ayanami Rei is the most serious one when she trains, but in terms of "talent", there is still a gap between her and other drivers, maybe "stability" is the only thing she is stronger than other drivers, but she can't often "explode" in the face of strong enemies, and her own strength is not a very strong driver, so she is destined to become a trump card.

Although the second machine was defeated by the tenth apostle, there is also the reason why Asuka herself underestimated the enemy's rashness, but in the face of the tenth apostle who can defeat the second machine so easily, Ayanami Rei, who is weaker than Asuka and can't "explode", has absolutely no chance of winning.

"......"

Perhaps the Tenth Apostle also knew that the enemy he had just shot at him was not at all to fear, so after another long mocking roar, it simply put the layers of AT force fields on its side and stopped trying to lure it away, and continued to fly in the direction of the second machine.

See this state of affairs. A look of determination flashed in Rei Ayaami's ruby eyes, and then for the first time in battle, she disobeyed the orders of her superiors and rushed towards the Tenth Apostle at full speed with an automatic rifle.

"Click......"

"Bang!"

With an automatic rifle in one hand and shooting wildly at the Tenth Apostle, and with the other hand taking out the Zero Machine of the High-Frequency Vibrating Particle Knife, before it could get close to the Tenth Apostle, it was pierced through the abdomen by two streamer-like arms shot by the other party.

Then the Tenth Apostle let Machine Zero hold the high-frequency vibrating particle knife and poke its arm, and in this way, directly pulled Machine Zero, which still did not stop operating, directly over.

Then, the white "mask" of the Tenth Apostle cracked in the middle, and a terrifying mouthpart full of fangs and split into four lobes protruded.

Under the horrified gaze of everyone, the mouthparts of the tenth apostle slowly opened. Then, like a frog popping out its tongue, it grows and grows in an instant. Swallowed the Zero, which was still holding a gun and shooting into the inside of its mouthpiece. And the two arms that ran through the abdomen of Machine Zero were also helping to stuff Machine Zero's body into its mouthparts.

"Damn! I can't wait any longer, I'm going to attack too!

Now, Shinji Ikari, are you still watching here? ”

See here. Shinki Hiro, who was in the Gnaku with Shinji Ikari, turned around and ran directly to EVA 8, and took the initiative to ask Misato Katsuragi to fight.

Under Shinji Ikari's dull gaze, the pink machine eight was activated, and then it was immediately sent to the battlefield.

At this time, the Tenth Apostle was still chewing on the zero machine that had just been "eaten", and the restraints on the No. 8 fuselage that was cramped into battle all bounced up, and the eight eyes emitted a terrifying green light, showing their sharp teeth like a ferocious beast, and launched attacks on the Tenth Apostle again and again, but in addition to breaking a few more layers of AT force field. Nor did it achieve any valuable results.

"So...... It's time for me to go, too.

- But don't worry, I'm not there to stop the Tenth Apostle.

Well, see you in the new world, Shinji.

Although we spent a short time together, I found it very enjoyable. I think I've taken a liking to you. ”

After Gnacuri and Shinji Ikari witnessed Makiha's No. 8 machine being quickly and seriously injured, Kaoru Nagisa smiled softly and said a few strange words to Shinji Ikari.

Then before Shinji Ikari reacted, he started the No. 6 machine without authorization, but just as he promised Ikari Shinji, with a halo on his head, he could fly in the air, and the No. 6 machine that did not need cable power supply did not attack the Tenth Apostle, but rushed out of the underground city through the gap opened by the other party and flew away without a trace.

So the originally full Gnacu was left with only the EVA first machine and a green MS-06S commander's Zagu 2, but the driver of the Zaku 2, Senior Colonel Chu Xuan, didn't know where to run while the chaos after sending Shinji Ikari to Gnaku.

"This—this is ...... What's going on......

Damn it...... Abominable abominable abominable! ”

Stunned, Shinji Ikari looked at the No. 6 machine on the screen that flew away without looking back, and a feeling of betrayal was born in his heart.

"Nagisa Kaoru, Chu Xuan, Dad...... Traitor! You are all traitors! ”

Shinji Ikari roared angrily at the empty Gnacurry, and then without changing his pilot's suit, he rushed straight to the EVA Hatsuki.

"I'm going to protect you! I must go to the beach with everyone! ”

"Strange...... The target identification signal is being converted into machine zero! ”

At this time, in the battle headquarters, Maya Ibuki, who had been monitoring the status of the apostles, reported to Misato Katsuragi and Ritsuko Akagi in surprise.

And on the huge screen, the lower half of the Tenth Apostle, who had devoured Machine Zero, grew another body - and it was the body of a human female after being gigantic.

"It's put on the table! That way, even if it invades the Central Dogma Zone, the base won't blow itself up! ”

"Bastard! Give me back Ayaami! ”

Misato Katsuragi said in shock and anger, but she was completely helpless at this time, but at this moment, Shinji Ikari roared and rushed towards the Tenth Apostle!

"Boom!

Boom!

Boom! ”

The first machine tried its best to fight fiercely against the Tenth Apostle again and again, even if the arm was cut off, even if the chest was pierced, even if the built-in power supply energy was exhausted, it still ran back incredibly, and became even more powerful than before, from being evenly matched with the Tenth Apostle to unilaterally suppressing the Tenth Apostle, and even the arm grew back.

This is the biggest difference between the driver who can "explode" and the driver who can't, Shinji Ikari has reached 400% synchronization rate at the moment, and an aura like the sixth machine has appeared on the head of the first machine, just like an angel descending on the earth!

Under this kind of unreasonable and domineering strength, the Tenth Apostle, who was still majestic just now, suddenly became powerless to fight back, and after the first machine completely subdued the opponent, he pressed one hand on the opponent's S2 mechanism, trying to rescue Rei Ayaami, who was devoured.

The white aura on the nose of the first apostle began to change to red, and the water waves continued to expand in circles, and it pressed one hand on the core of the tenth apostle, and in this way, it rose upward with the tenth apostle, as if it was about to pass through the "gate of heaven" in the middle of the aura.

"Eva, who was imprisoned in the human realm, is returning to its original form.

Untie the bondage imposed by human beings and gradually become a being that surpasses human beings and approaches God.

Merge all things in heaven and earth, and transform yourself into a conglomeration of pure energy in the great waves of complementarity.

New life is about to be born beyond the norm of this world, and at the cost of it, ancient life will be extinct......"

Looking at the rising Hatsuki, Ritsuko Akagi, who was chattering, started a loud "sermon", but now no one had the leisure to accuse her, and everyone's eyes were focused on Hatsuki.

"Puff ——!"

Just when the first plane, which had already grown wings of light, "restored" the tenth apostle into the shape of Rei Ayanami and was about to pull her through the halo, the core of the first plane's chest was suddenly pierced by a red spiral giant spear with a forked front end - the spear of Longinus!

Then, the same aura on its head lowered from the hole above the underground city again, and behind it, there were 8 EVA production machines armed with the same Longinus gun.

“…… It's just one step away."

Seeing the sudden EVA army, which had always sat steadily in the commander's seat, Ikari Gendo couldn't help frowning, and muttered in annoyance.
