ZeroView threw the work of restoring the marine ecological balance to the avatars and a group of scientists, and then divided many doppelgangers with ripple qigong ability, allowing them to "open up wasteland" and green the earth in various parts of the world. And he himself is trying to find a way to enlighten the three problem teenagers and girls, while pondering the remaining few Lune texts related things.
After these days of hard work, the last Demon Dao Book was finally disassembled, and at a glance in the inner view, countless golden runes formed sixteen golden rune characters, inlaid in their respective positions, and a mysterious aura spread out from them.
And just when Zero Guan couldn't figure out how to condense the few remaining rune characters, sixteen rune characters automatically carried out the work that he couldn't figure out the situation.
I saw that the divine instinct that automatically appeared when the sixteen rune characters were condensed became restless, and then automatically combined with the mystical aura that had just come out.
In an instant, two distinct auras churned as if they had a chemical reaction, and after a short time, a small, golden rune fell from the two clouds of mist and embedded it in the position of one of the runes that made up the remaining rune characters.
When this rune inlay was fixed, Ling Guan clearly felt that all the runes around him vibrated strangely, and a transparent and round, refreshing feeling appeared in his heart. In an instant, he clearly felt the double improvement of wisdom and strength, and all aspects of his body took another step forward.
"It turns out that the last eight rune characters don't need me to bother to figure it out!!" It was only at this time that Zero Guan finally determined that his previous worries were completely unfounded. I didn't expect that as long as sixteen of the Rune characters were manifested, the remaining eight could be automatically generated, which was really wonderful.
Think about it too. After the simplification of Odin's masochistic self-abuse, the Rune script allowed him to obtain the name of the god of extraordinary wisdom and magic, and the runes that were more complex and mysterious than the Rune script he mastered made no sense, but after condensing them, they did not have a more peculiar and powerful effect than him.
Moreover, Zero Guan found that the condensation of small runes required the consumption of quite a lot of divinity and aura, and it took a long time. Once the divinity and aura are insufficient, the sixteen runes will automatically extract mana for transformation and replenishment. Other than that. The magic power has been transformed very close to mana, and the replenishment speed of mana is basically one heaven and one underground compared to the original, so there is no problem of insufficient mana at all.
"Great! In this way, the completion of the fifth spell is just around the corner. Zero Guan opened his eyes excitedly, since he didn't care so much about the fifth spell, the rest of his attention was just used to carry out the two things of "Human Completion Plan" and "Planet Completion Plan".
On this day, the third new city of Tokyo, which had been quiet for a long time, was once again in crisis.
"Woo ――――――"
The sound of a terrible siren resounded throughout the city, and the people living here were surprised and skillfully found the nearest air defense building to take refuge.
The Eighth Apostle appeared.
At this time. In the operational command room of the headquarters of the NERV organization, from time to time, people rushed in and out, and several technicians sitting on the chairs operated the keyboard with serious faces, carefully looked at the data on the screen, and quickly analyzed it. These results were then communicated to Misato Katsuragi, who commanded the operation, and the chief and deputy commanders.
"Three minutes ago, Maunakae Observatory captured the target!"
"The third surveillance satellite optically captures the target!"
"Transfer the image to the screen at the maximum distance!"
The figure of the Eighth Apostle soon appeared on the large screen in the command room, and its location was not at any point on the earth. Rather, in the orbit of satellites in outer space.
Through the large screen in the command room, everyone saw the appearance of the Eighth Apostle. It's like a weird fish swimming in the sea. It has a colorful color that is easy to dazzle. Moreover, it is very long in size, much larger than the previous Seventh Apostle.
"Huh?"
At this moment, the body of the Eighth Apostle separated as if it were made of liquid, and part of the body separated from the main body and fell to the surface of the earth under the action of gravity.
It stands to reason. This is the reason why objects fall from outer space to the planet, and in the process the size of the frictional object decreases rapidly, so many meteorites fall on the planet every year without large-scale casualties. However, the picture coming out of the screen obviously does not conform to this phenomenon.
I saw that the object separated by the Eighth Apostle rubbed orange-red sparks with the air, but its size did not shrink at all. And that's not all. In the process, the intercepted shells fired by humans hit it one by one, but they did not affect its descent at all.
If you take a closer look, this object is actually protected by a golden AT force field in all directions, no wonder the air friction and weapon attack have no effect at all.
No matter how fierce the human bombardment was, it did not stop the fall of the ball, and soon, the ball broke through the barrier of outer space and fell to the surface of the earth. Falling with such a mass, the impact force produced by it is absolutely extraordinary, and the place where this ball fell was not a human concentration area, but a wide ocean, and it did not cause huge casualties.
Despite this, the 1,200-meter spray caused by the ball falling into the sea and the impact of the sea surface affecting a range of several miles still frightened the personnel in the command room.
"What an amazing impact!!"
Just as everyone sighed, the Eighth Apostle continued to advance towards the Third New Tokyo City in the outer space. On the way, from time to time, a ball of the same size would be dropped on the ground. Under the all-round protection of the AT force field, the balls fell smoothly to the ground.
“…… It seems to be adjusting the accuracy of the projection. Misato Katsuragi said with a frown.
"That's right. But the more difficult problem to solve is this ......" Ritsuko Akagi nodded, and motioned to the technician next to her to release the picture that had just been transmitted.
"This is the case of an attack by a military satellite belonging to SEELE."
In the footage, dozens of military satellites launch a powerful attack on the Eighth Apostle. In the face of these attacks, the Eighth Apostle obviously lacked the means to counterattack, and while using the AT force field to defend, he flew in the direction where the Third New Tokyo City was located.
"It's a troublesome enemy to have three different types of AT force fields." Misato Katsuragi's brow furrowed even deeper, trying to think of a way to annihilate the Eighth Apostle.
According to the picture just now, the Eighth Apostle has three AT force fields, the first is a single-layer field that is the same as the EVA body, the second is a multi-layer dispersed field, and the third is the strongest and most unique black AT force field. When it uses a third AT force field to protect itself, it can't even pass through light.
"The accuracy of the Eighth Apostle's drops is increasing, and the probability of hitting NERV headquarters will exceed 99 percent," one technician analyzed.
"Judging from the data, EVA is able to easily break through separately separated objects, and it is expected that the Eighth Apostle will not attack here by dropping bombs, but in a more direct way."
"...... mean?"
"It's going to come straight down this side from outer space." The technician said in a bitter voice, "Based on the calculation of the speed of the fall, even if it does not hit the NERV headquarters, but hits a close range, the impact force generated by it can destroy all areas, including the third new Tokyo City." ”
"Suicide attack?" Misato Katsuragi stood in front of the screen, staring at the figure of the Eighth Apostle flying in outer space, and quickly simulated the battle plan.
"Immediately issue an order in the name of NERV to disperse the crowd forces-"
"There's no need to evacuate the crowd." As he spoke, Zero Guan walked into the command room.
Misato Katsuragi plucked up the courage and asked, "What does this mean?" If the Eighth Apostle had successfully fallen, no one here would have survived. ”
"Then let him fall and hit the ground." Zero Guan smiled indifferently, "As far as I know, those three little guys are ready to attack at any time." ”
Hearing this, Naoko Akagi protested, "It's too risky! Based on its mass, the AT force field of EVA may not be able to withstand the impact. And even if EVA could withstand that kind of impact, the location of the Eighth Apostle's fall from the sky would not be able to be accurately predicted, if there was negligence......"
"So what." Zero Guan interrupted her.
Naoko Akagi subconsciously asked, "What?" ”
"I mean, it's okay to just let it knock it down. Isn't that what I'm here? I don't care about a mere apostle. Zero Guan smiled confidently.
Misato Katsuragi suddenly asked, "You mean you're going to make a move?" So why not do it now? You should be able to do it with your skills, right? ”
"Of course, I can kill him whenever I want."
"Then why ......?"
"Do you want to rely on me when other apostles come later?" Zero-view asked rhetorically, and then said, "Anyway, I can control the situation at any time, why don't I let those children let go and give it a try." ”
"But ......"
Ritsuko Akagi wanted to say something more, but Gento Wataru Ikaru, who was concave over there, said directly, "Okay, let's do what Mr. Yanagito wants." Also, don't tell them that Mr. Yanagito will make a move, just say that he is not in the base right now and does not know where he is. ”
Is it to let them really face the problem with their own strength?
This Ikari Gendu's mind is really deeper than I thought, and it's no wonder that he will combine with the science madman Ikari Yui. The ancients really didn't say it wrong, it's not that a family doesn't enter the door!!
"I see." Misato Katsuragi accepted the order, and because of herself, she was the one who most wanted to annihilate the Eighth Apostle.
"I'm going to relay the battle plan." With that, Misato Katsuragi turned around and walked out of the command room. (To be continued......)
