The Sixth Apostle, like the other Apostles, was a sharp-looking people.
Its normal image is that of a huge octahedral crystal that is more crystal clear than a sapphire, and its volume is considered large among the apostles. Each of the eight regular triangle faces is nearly 100 meters long, and can even expand in volume and become larger when needed.
Because of the AT force field that can defend against all physical attacks, the Sixth Apostle simply abandoned the melee skills and added all the points to the long-range attack - specializing in long-range attacks with high-energy accelerated particle cannons that have been developed to the limit, not only have a longer strike range, but also respond extremely quickly, even the EVA body with the AT force field fully open does not want to approach it.
In addition, it has the ability to automatically eliminate enemies within a certain distance, has the characteristics of constant change in relative displacement space and unstable appearance, and can freely change into various types for defense or attack. These factors were piled up on the body of the Apostle, and the Sixth Apostle was formed as a map-cannon turret mage with powerful long-range strike power.
Of course, the commanders of the NERV did not know about this information, otherwise, they would not have allowed the troops to rashly launch an approach attack on the Sixth Apostle.
Boom-boom-boom-
Under the powerful firepower of the Sixth Apostle, the attacking force that the human race had stopped directly collapsed, and the rhythm of the battle had long been lost.
In such a crisis situation, EVA, which is the pillar of human beings, has been dispatched.
However, when he saw that the first EVA machine appeared one or two kilometers away from the Sixth Apostle, Zero Guan couldn't help but complain about the combat commander Misato Katsuragi.
Eldest sister, the other party is a typical long-range attack apostle, you don't send the first machine near or below it, but send her to a place so far away from the sixth apostle, isn't this using Shinji Ikari as a target! You don't have to think about the psychological capacity of your classmates?!!
It's not. Just when Zero Guan was complaining, the Sixth Apostle had already used his excellent scanning ability and reaction ability to find out where the first machine was about to appear. Without saying a word, it immediately adjusted its body to the form, and the octahedral body, which originally seemed to be two pyramids upside down, instantly dissociated, revealing the S2 mechanism in the shape of a red ball in the center.
And the decomposition of blue transparent crystals. Just like the blurred transformation of light and shadow in the glass, it turned into two stacks of blocks and square cones up and down, and the power in the S2 mechanism was quickly extracted and converted into high-energy particles for acceleration.
Boom - !!
The particle accelerator cannon bombarded the body of the first machine, and the hot temperature burst out, and the steel bracket that carried the first body was melted down on board. Instead, he restrained the first machine that hadn't been able to get out. Seeing this, where would the Fifth Apostle be polite, and burst out one particle acceleration cannon after another like a cannon.
Boom-boom-boom-
The scorching shelling continued to fall on the body, and even with the protection of the EVA body and LCL solution, Shinji Ikari who stayed in the body was still very impacted. In particular, the kind of mental impact that saw one shell after another fall on his body made Xiao Shou's spirit greatly oppressed, and he instinctively felt the urgency of breathing even though he didn't need to breathe, and he had symptoms of insufficient oxygen.
"Babble, !!"
His screams were clearly transmitted through the equipment to the NERV base. Misato Katsuragi, who was most concerned, immediately shouted, "Shinji, quickly pop out the plug!! ”
"No!!" Ritsuko Akagi vetoed it loudly.
Gento Ikari who was concave next to him said calmly: "The EVA body is more important than the driver. ”
In this case. Shinji Ikari can escape the bombardment of the Sixth Apostle by using the plug, but the immobile EVA body will lose its defense due to the loss of its pilot, and it is afraid that it will be beaten to scrap metal by the particle accelerator cannon in one turn. That's what Gento Ikari and Ritsuko Akagi mean.
"Cut !!"
Misato Katsuragi was so anxious that she didn't have time to refute Ritsuko Akagi and Wataru Ikari Gento, and instead shouted to the others around her: "Raise the protective armor!" up the lot under the first machine! ”
"Ming-what ?!!" The technician exclaimed.
Misato Katsuragi suddenly panicked and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The technician hurriedly responded. And the palm of his hand was busy a few times, and the picture in front of the first machine was enlarged on the big screen: "Someone has come forward to rescue the first machine." ”
“…… It's him. ”
Misato Katsuragi and the others at the base saw the picture on the big screen, and these two words rang out in their hearts, and some people couldn't help but clench their fists excitedly.
The person who appeared in front of the first machine and blocked the shelling of the Sixth Apostle for the first machine was none other than Zero Guan.
Zero-view himself doesn't know. Because of his mysterious origin, powerful power, and the targets are all apostles, he actually has a lot of popularity inside the base, and many commanders and soldiers think that he is the savior of mankind, just like the humans who worship Ultraman in the special films.
"It doesn't matter what your origin or purpose is, please don't hurt Shinji!!" Looking at the figure on the screen, Misato Katsuragi said secretly in her heart.
The artillery power of the Sixth Apostle is really very powerful, even the AT force field of the Zero View level is able to withstand the bombardment of the particle acceleration cannon. Moreover, because the core is the S2 mechanism, which can provide endless energy, the particle acceleration cannon is shot after shot, and for a while, it makes Zero Guan unable to pull out his hand to counterattack.
In fact, it is not difficult for Zero Guan to dodge the shelling at all, but the problem is that there is still a first machine of the cannon target behind him, and if he leaves like this, wouldn't it mean that he is not capable of saving this little victim. Besides, he still sells favors to the attention of the insiders of the NERV organization, and he can't leave the first machine alone.
"Hey, little ghost, can you still move?" While maintaining the golden AT force field to envelop himself and the first unit, Zero Guan shouted at Shinji Ikari inside.
If it was ordinary speech, the sound would not be able to travel inside at all, so when Zero Guan shouted, he used a special force to send his voice to the body of the first machine.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zero Guan's side immediately heard a weak voice that sounded full of anger: "Eh?? How can your voice reach me? ”
Zero Guan rolled his eyes: "Don't worry about this little thing for now." Can you move now? ”
“…… No, no! I got stuck in the bracket in the back and couldn't move. Shinji Ikari paused for a moment before answering Zero's words in a panic.
"EVA will actually be trapped by the bracket...... "Zero Guan couldn't help laughing, "Listen, I'll find a chance to cut off the bracket trapped you later, you quickly contact the people in the base and retreat from the battle line." ”
"But...... What do you do? I can't do such a thing as leaving you alone on the battlefield. Shinji Ikari said unexpectedly.
Why is this statement so ...... Well......
I rub! He wouldn't even want to attack a man like me, would he? Wait, wait, this is a legendary male protagonist who even the male Nagisa Kaoru has a strategy!! Thinking of this, Lingguan suddenly felt a pain in the chrysanthemum, and he couldn't wait to leave the first machine for 108,000 miles.
"You...... You...... You're really ...... Kindness!! ”
Anyway, isn't Shinji Ikari good at escapism, how did he become such a man when he came to me? Is this the protagonist's aura?
Take the initiative to attack characters that are useful to you???
“…… Ahem, no matter what, let's free you first. Discarding the chaotic thoughts in his mind, he shifted his attention and looked at the Sixth Apostle.
The Sixth Apostle did not gasp for breath with a vigorous jet of particle acceleration cannon, and the hot light cannon hit the golden AT force field one after another. Of course, many of the pillars of light missed and landed on the dilapidated building next to it, and as a result, the entire building melted away as quickly as ice cream in the scorching sun.
The lethality is simply brutal!!
Boom - !!
Just as Lingguan was about to take advantage of the failure of the light cannon to make a move, a metal plate 100 meters high, dozens of meters wide, and more than ten meters thick suddenly rose from the ground in front of him.
The rise of this metal plate was just in front of ZeroView and the first machine, and the AT force field that replaced Zeroview blocked the particle accelerator cannon that hit it.
Boom-boom-boom-
Particle Accelerator Cannon after Particle Accelerator Cannon scorched the metal plate and almost melted it, and the blazing heat was released, and the ground and buildings next to it were severely melted.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zero Guan collected the AT force field, twisted and flew out with a tentacle, and cleanly cut the bracket that was stuck in the first machine into several sections.
Boom - !!
The first machine untied its shackles and took a few steps back under the protection of the metal plate.
"Go back quickly, this apostle has been handed over to me." Zero Guan said to Shinji Ikari in the first machine, and the people in the NERV base opened the elevator under the road in harmony.
"But you ......"
But it's a ball! You're a!!
Without waiting for Shinji Ikari to finish speaking, Zero Kan kicked her into the opening of the hole opened by the NERV base personnel.
On the other side, after the Sixth Apostle found that Zero Guan and the First Machine were blocked by metal plates, he immediately changed his attack mode. I saw that its blue crystalline body suddenly split into several pieces, turning into a strange appearance with four long pyramids on the upper and lower sides, left and right, and two short pyramids on the front and back.
At the same time, the S2 mechanism in the center confuses to become four up, down, left and right, and then the four cores shoot out a torrent of power together like a generator. These torrents of power converged at a point in front of the center, and then burst out a thick, long pillar of white light, which rushed towards the metal plate as if it were invincible and devastating.
Poof-!!
In an instant, the metal plate that had resisted more than a dozen particle acceleration cannons turned into a liquid state, and the pillar of light without stopping at all went forward to kill the Zero View who had just kicked the first machine in the rear. (To be continued......)
