The Twelfth Apostle vs. the First One, Zero, and the Giant of Light were staged in the Third New Tokyo City, but the NERV headquarters found out that something even worse.

One of the technicians exclaimed, "Alarm! A new target appears in the eastern sea, and the feature is identified as...... EVA!!! It's nine EVAs!! ”

"What ?!!"

"Could it be that the NERV branches of other countries are coming to our aid?"

"Don't be stupid! NERV's branches across the country simply can't make up nine EVAs! But if they come, the apostle will be annihilated!! ”

For a while, most of the people were happy to talk about it.

At this time, Ikari Gendu said in a deep voice that surprised everyone beyond words, "You guys are happy too early! The enemy of these EVAs is our !! ”

"What ?!!"

This news was so shocking that everyone couldn't help but be stunned. They always thought that EVA was the trump card on their side, but they didn't expect that one day they would be dealt with by these trump cards in turn. Moreover, they can't think of a reason why they will be targeted.

Fuyutsuki Xingzeng said without blushing or panting: "These EVAs are mass-produced EVAs secretly manufactured by SEELE, and they are equipped with the core that only the apostles have, with unlimited power, no umbilical cables, no limits of movement, and amazing recovery capabilities. Based on the information we have received, SEELE higher-ups believe that our saved Apostle Lilith should be eliminated and are ready to abandon us. ”

Misato Katsuragi asked incredulously, "......What do you mean by giving up?" ”

"Wipe out the NERV headquarters along with the Apostles, that's what these production EVAs are for." "We originally thought that this information was wrong, but we didn't expect SEELE to really do it. Everybody. If we don't want to be wiped out, we have to do something. ”

“……”

No one was silent.

They originally thought that the enemy was only the apostle, but they did not expect that the apostle had not been eliminated, but they themselves had become the target of their compatriots' attacks first.

The savior became the enemy of humanity in an instant?

Are you kidding!!!

Ritsuko Akagi turned her head to look at Yuandu Ikari: "Commander Ikati, what should we do now?" ”

"The mission of the first and zero machines remains the same, and they will work with the Giant of Light to destroy the Twelfth Apostle. The second machine intervened to delay the mass-produced EVA. After the Twelfth Apostle is annihilated, concentrate forces to annihilate the mass-produced EVA. Yuandu Ikari said in a flat tone.

"Even if it is a mass-produced EVA, the cost is definitely not cheap, as long as we reject these nine mass-produced EVAs, we will have the courage to talk to SEELE's senior management." Fuyutsuki added.

Misato Katsuragi gritted her teeth and said, "But if you do this, the second machine ......"

"Do you have a better way?" Ikari asked coldly.

"Perhaps...... Which Mr. Yanagito did we ask for help? ”

Fuyutsuki said, "He's not at the base now. As soon as he helped restore the power to the base, he left the base and didn't know where he went. ”

Ikari Gendu stared at her, "Do you have anything else to say?" ”

“…… Nope. ”

"Then give the order."

There's no way around it! Misato Katsuragi gritted her teeth. "The ground forces are focused on the nine mass-produced EVAs to the east, and the second machine is responsible for intercepting them," the order said. Attention, Asuka, you just have to drag them down, don't push yourself too hard. ”

"You're so long-winded, Misato!" Asuka muttered impatiently, the emergency repair work was progressing well, and she was barely able to put herself into battle. "I've been upset with those guys who froze my second machine! This time it's just the right time to give them some color. ”

“…… Be careful! ”

"Hmm!"

Whoosh——————

Unit 2 was once again thrown into the fray, dragging a long umbilical cable to the east of the city. Right in front of you are nine mass-produced EVAs flying this way.

The mass-produced EVA is the result of SEELE's subordinate organization, and through the dissection and study of the Third Apostle in captivity, they have mastered the technology to build the S2 mechanism. They then applied this technology to the EVA body, creating an app that has unlimited power and doesn't require umbilical cables. A mass-produced EVA with no limit to movement and amazing recovery capabilities. Compared to the NERV configuration, which is already the EVA in the eyes of others, these nine EVAs are actually closer to the Apostles. Moreover, their goals are the same as those of the apostles.

Boom - boom - boom -

The ground forces opened fire quickly, and shell after shell dragged a long flight trajectory towards the mass-produced EVA flying through the air.

However, these production machines are not the same as purpose-built EVAs. Not only do they have the ability to fly, but they also have a golem system. In the face of the artillery bombardment of the ground troops, they either dodged flexibly, or directly turned on the AT force field to resist, and swooped towards the ground with a dark red strange spear in their hands.

"Even the AT force field has a !!" Tomorrow Xiang screamed angrily, picked up the ray rifle in his hand, and shot one shot after another. In an instant, one particle beam after another flew into the air, and if it weren't for the AT force field protection, the nine mass-produced EVAs would have turned into sieves long ago.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...... There are exactly nine sets, Zoffie, the first generation, Saiwen, Jack, Ace, Taylor, Leo, Astra, Eddie, and the nine Ott brothers. When the nine mass-produced EVAs landed on the ground, Zero's figure suddenly appeared on the shoulder of one of the mass-produced EVAs, and the palm of his hand fell straight onto it through the AT force field.

"First of all, Zofie." The majestic power poured into the body of the mass-produced EVA from the palm of the hand, and in an instant, it forcibly replaced the puppet system inside and captured this EVA.

"How did he do it?!!" Asuka gave a strange look at Zero, but the movement of her hand did not stop, and she kept shooting at the other EVAs with particle beams to prevent them from approaching the base.

The other EVAs did not react to Zero's attempt to capture their companions, and rushed towards Unit 2 with blood-red spears, and the human weapons could not break through the AT force field around them.

The other side. After capturing a mass-produced EVA, Zeroguan didn't pay attention to anything else, immersed himself in it, covered EVA with an AT force field, and enthusiastically transformed it according to Zofie's appearance. His strength today is already extraordinary, and such an incredible thing as transforming EVA is not difficult for him at all. The renovation program is progressing very well.

Bang - bang - bang -

Just when Zeroview was transforming the EVA, Asuka had already fought with eight mass-produced EVAs. After the AT force fields neutralize each other, they immediately engage in hand-to-hand combat. Asuka is an EVA driver with rigorous training and rich combat experience, and the moment the AT power shattered, she stepped forward and grabbed the neck of one EVA, lifted it up vigorously, and smashed it into the other EVA that rushed towards her.

With a "bang", the two EVXs rolled into a ball, blocking the approach of the other two EVAs. Finish doing these. Unit 2 immediately jumped away from the spot, avoiding the danger of being surrounded by other EVAs. With both hands raised, the beam rifle emitted several white beams.

In an instant, the two EVAs couldn't dodge, and a large piece of their bodies were knocked off on the spot.

Without waiting for Asuka to be happy, the two EVAs suddenly showed strong self-healing ability, and the gap made by the beam healed itself at an astonishing speed.

It looks like it won't be long before they're ready to go into battle.

"Liar! Mass-produced EVA has such a strong self-healing ability. Asuka exclaimed.

Actually, she didn't know. These mass production machines are almost immortal and have eternal life. With numerical superiority and immortal life, the strength can be said to be very terrifying. However, because they are mass-produced aircraft, their combat equipment and combat effectiveness are not at all comparable to the No. 2 aircraft she pilots.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party had the ability to be almost immortal, she and the second machine would actually be enough to overturn these mass production machines with no IQ to speak of.

But reality has no ifs, and now Asuka has to fight these difficult guys.

Boom - boom - boom -

Six mass-produced EVAs surrounded the second unit.

"Don't underestimate people!!" Asuka roared angrily and manipulated the second machine in a desperate battle. If her side is breached. The people in the back, Shinji Ikari and Rei Ayana, who were fighting with the Twelfth Apostle, couldn't survive. Regardless, she's got to be here to stop the guys' attacks.

On the other hand, the battle between the First One, the Zero and the Giant of Light and the Twelfth Apostle is still going on.

Truth be told, the Twelfth Apostle was too difficult to deal with. Not only does it possess terrifying light attacks. There is also the strongest rejection-type AT force field, and the twelve ribbon tentacles that can be freely retracted and extended are even sharper, and the three of them can't effectively hurt each other at all.

Whew-whew-whew-

Twelve scarlet wings roared around like twelve sharp blades, and the First One, Zero and the Giant of Light quickly dodged and retreated. With the experience of the second machine, which had been heavily damaged by the opponent before, they did not dare to rashly attack the Twelfth Apostle head-on now.

In the combat command room, looking at the two EVAs and the Giant of Light, Yuandu Ikari decisively changed the battle plan, "Machine Zero and the Giant of Light contain the Twelfth Apostle, and the first machine will go and the second machine will round." Compared to the Twelfth Apostle, the production EVA is easier to tear through the gap. ”

But all the apostles, their weaknesses are the core, but the twelfth apostle's rejection AT force field is too strong, and they can't get close to the first machine at all, and the situation can only form a stalemate with each other. In such a situation, it makes perfect tactical sense to detach one person to deal with the mass-produced EVA over there, break it as quickly as possible, and then gather all the forces to deal with the Twelfth Apostle.

Everyone present understood this way, including Misato Katsuragi and Ritsuko Akagi, so Misato Katsuragi, the head of operations, nodded and quickly conveyed this order. (To be continued......)
