Mark.06 Command room before arriving at Final Dogma Zone.

Misato has gone looking for Asuka and Ritsuko Akagi is staring at the big screen, where surveillance on the ground is revealed.

Due to the attack of the Apostles, the first machine, and the soldiers of the self-combat team, everyone was incapacitated, and the pitch-black EVA broke into the NERV headquarters.

Ritsuko Akagi doesn't know who the driver of the EVA is, but Seele came to the headquarters for only one purpose, and it must be the body of the second apostle Lilith.

One of the conditions for the completion of the human completion plan is the fusion of Adam and Lilith, and in SEELE's script, it is Lilith who will finally start the ritual, and if SEELE wants to complete the plan here, then they must reach the final dogma zone.

"You have to delay as much time as possible!" Ritsuko Akagi stared at the screen.

MAGI was attacked, the attackers came from all over the world, and a total of five super artificial intelligence of the same type as MAGI launched an external shock data stream, and SEELE now took out everything at the bottom of the box.

The self-defense system can last for a while, and as a scientific scholar, Ritsuko Akagi is not capable of fighting, but she also has things she can do.

"I'm going to head to MAGI's host layer, it's already occupied by the Apostles and SEELE, so stay here, at least. There's still a silver lining." Ritsuko Akagi stood up from her seat.

She didn't hesitate and went alone to take the direct elevator.

No one followed, too, and although Aoba and Ritsuko had been working together for a while, those young people, who had been inexplicably caught in prison by the members of the self-war team, were released and asked to continue working.

The human beings have completed the plan, Adam, and EVA, although Ritsuko has explained it to them, but it is no longer possible to return to the original working atmosphere.

After all, it was Ritsuko who concealed the truth first and was the one who deceived first.

Everyone is not a child who can be reconciled by apologizing and pulling hands, once adults lose trust in each other, then there will always be an invisible wall in their hearts.

"I'm doing it myself, Mom." Ritsuko laughed self-deprecatingly, looking at the changing floors in the elevator room, and with a clang, she arrived at the floor where the MAGI mainframe was placed.

She passed the identity authentication alone, through the layers of alloy doors, and came to the heavily guarded room.

MAGI's main unit was large, and she uncovered a protective door with a fan in the middle that allowed an adult to get into.

There are many cables and lines in the passage, and in addition to this, there are many old yellowed sticky notes with handwritten codes on them.

These sticky notes are old from more than ten years ago, and they are the notes of Ritsuko Akagi's mother when she developed MAGI, and each one is in Ritsuko's familiar handwriting.

Ritsuko seemed to be able to see the sweat of her mother developing the system in this place day and night, so she got inside, took out an external keyboard, and directly inserted the interface to operate the underlying operating system of MAGI.

She turned on the highest-privilege Firewall 666 Type B, so that she could not penetrate MAGI from the outside for 62 hours.

After that, she asked MAGI to close all the passages from the 40th to the 265th basement floors, and then cut off the power supply and fill the passages with hardened phenolic resin.

After doing these things, she wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"At least that will delay for a few more minutes."

It was all she could do, and just as she was leaving the console, she heard footsteps.

Who is it?

"Ritsuko, open the door."

With a hoarse and deep voice, Ritsuko Akagi's heart tightened.

She had decided to forget the past, but when she heard that person's voice, she still felt a palpitation that seemed to tug at her heart.

Ritsuko drilled out of the main unit and saw Gendo Ikari's face.

Not just Ikari Gendo, but also Rei Ayana.

"Didn't you hear? I'll tell you to open the door. Ikari Gendo said coldly.

"Commander Ikari, are you still alive?" Ritsuko Akagi glanced at Rei Ayaami, who was speechless.

"Open the door, I don't have to pursue the past." Ikari Gendo stretched out his hand towards Ritsuko: "Come on, come here." ”

Ritsuko Akagi bit her lip as her hand slowly stretched out from the pocket of her white coat.

However, before she could reach out her hand, there was a bang, and a gunshot went off.

Her right palm was pierced, blood dripped down her arm to the ground, and a pistol rolled on the ground a few times.

Ikari Gendo fired, before Ritsuko pulled out her pistol.

"Sure enough, you don't trust me at all, I thought I could at least have a place in your heart."

Ritsuko Akagi's hand twitched slightly, and the pain made her breathless.

Ikari Gendo didn't reply, he pointed the muzzle of the black hole hole at Ritsuko Akagi's head and silently pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The bullet shot out mercilessly, and a blood flower bloomed on Ritsuko's body.

The bullet didn't penetrate Ritsuko's head, but the shot still hit Ritsuko's chest, and Ritsuko only felt a pain in her heart, and her whole body lost her strength and fell to the ground, her consciousness gradually blurring.

Gendo Ikari frowned and looked back at Rei Ayana.

The shot he just fired was intended to directly penetrate Ritsuko's head.

"Forget it, that's fine."

Ikari Gendo took a deep breath, took out the USB flash drive that had been prepared a long time ago, and inserted it into MAGI's main unit.

If you can't invade from the outside, then invade from the inside.

The three modules of MGAI represent the three personalities of the founder: the scientist, the woman and the mother.

Gendo Ikari invaded from the module representing the woman and quickly occupied the entire MAGI.

The passage to the final dogmatic zone was restored and all opened.

"The spear of Longinus turned out." Kaoru Nagisa held her right arm, and cold sweat broke out all over her body.

Mark.06's right arm was torn off by the Longinus Spear, and although it wasn't his arm, he could feel the pain of the broken arm 100%.

"It's okay, as long as you can get to that place, as long as you can return to Adam" Kaoru Nagisa endured the pain as Mark.06 stumbled forward.

But when he saw the huge cross, Kaoru Nagisa was stunned.

"Is this Lilith?"

"yes. Is that what happened? You count me! ”

He was born from Adam and could not return to Lilith.

He was deceived from the beginning, and he was only being used as a gunman.

The simple Kaoru Nagisa never thought about how terrible the intrigue of human beings was.

On the ground, the already dormant Hatsushi was lifted into the sky by the EVA production rack, and its back spread huge wings of light, illuminating the night sky and the city of Third Tokyo that was almost in ruins.

Almost at the same time, the Ronnookis spear stabbed into the throat of the first plane, with Mark.06's right arm still hanging from the handle.

At the same time, the interior of Mark.06 also underwent tremendous changes.

Kaoru Nagisa has lost control of the Mark.06, and there is another presence in this EVA.

"Did Lilin get you in?" Kaoru Nagisa immediately understood.

It was the Apostle who originally occupied the third machine, and it was not stabbed to death by the spear of Longinus, and Lilin somehow caused the Apostle to fuse with Mark.06 in this form and awaken at this moment.

The apostles were enemies of each other.

Only one being will return to Adam, and the rest will be purified.

So, the thirteenth apostle, launched an attack on Kaoru Nagisa.

Kaoru Nagisa loses control of Mark.06, but Mark.06 still has the amplified AT force field.

This AT force field is like an enchantment, blocking Kaoru Nagisa.

Mark.06's S2 mechanism exploded at this moment, and the energy it released was enough to destroy everything around it, and it was confined to Mark.06's interior.

There wasn't even the sound of an explosion, it was like everything had contracted into a singularity.

Kaoru Nagisa and Mark.06 together dissolve into nothingness.

SEELE, the seat of souls.

"The spear of Longnookis is finally back in His hands."

"All the messengers have done their job."

"It's a bit of an adventure, but our wish is finally coming true."

"The conditions are not yet complete, but it can only be so, and if it drags on, I am afraid of variables."

"Let the EVA mass production machine return to its original appearance."

"Bring me the true face of the gospel of mankind."

"Through equal death and prayer, people will return to their original appearance."

"This is also the rest of the soul." Speaker Keel said, "Let's start the ceremony." ”

"Now let's resurrect the tree of the center, we and other servants, the EVA mass production machine, were born for this moment."

Ikari Gendo took Rei Ayanami and came to the final dogma area.

He arrived here one step ahead of Mark.06, and in order to prevent the Adam embryo in his hand from attracting Kaoru Nagisa's attention, he hibernated, waiting for Mark.06 to annihilate as planned.

He waded through the orange eaux-de-vie and looked up at the large hole in the ceiling.

Ikari Gendo's plan was to use Lilith for the final ceremony, so he was fused with Adam to return to NERV.

But judging from the current situation, SEELE's real plan is to use the first machine as a stand-in for God, and he is only part of SEELE's plan.

However, he had expected that the old people were not opponents that could be dealt with so easily.

The first machine, which captured the S2 mechanism and integrated into the human soul, has both the fruit of life and the fruit of wisdom, and the first machine has the qualification to become a god.

Shinji Ikari's sleeping soul woke up, and the spear of Longinus restrained Hatsuna's movements, and he could do nothing but watch as the EVA production machine bit the light wings of Hatsutsu and plunged the imitation holy spear into his chest.

A powerful anti-AT force field erupts centered on the first machine.

This was the beginning of the third shock, just like the second one fifteen years ago.

Asuka and Misato, who are in the underground biosphere, can see the first machine in the sky through that big hole.

Misato remembered fifteen years ago, when she was a child, in Antarctica with her father, and witnessed the second shock.

She was the only one who survived by her father in a rescue pod, and everyone else died.

"Again?" Misato gritted her teeth: "Can't we do anything?" ”

Rei Ayana, who is in the final dogma zone, begins to change in her body.

Her body melted like ice cream in the sun and began to lose her human shape.

"Leigh, the AT force field can't maintain your human form."

Gendo Ikari took off his gloves, and his palm melted into Adam's embryo, taking on a distorted appearance.

Just as he was about to touch Rei Ayaba, Ian finally rode the Captain to the Final Dogma Zone.

He was only a dozen seconds behind Mark.06, and these ten seconds were delayed to protect Misato and Asuka, but it was these ten seconds that Mark.06 disappeared without a trace.

He didn't know exactly what was going on, but when he saw Gendo Ikari and Rei Ayanami appear here, looking like they were about to launch the third impact, he understood that Kaoru Nagisa was probably calculated by SEELE just like before.

The Angel of Force, the Angel of the Womb were dealt with by the First Machine, the Angel of the Bird died at the hands of Ian, and the last Angel of Freedom ushered in his fate.

SEELE HAS GATHERED THE CONDITIONS FOR HUMANITY TO COMPLETE THE PLAN IN A WAY THAT IAN DIDN'T EXPECT.

Gendo Ikari glanced at Ian, gritted his teeth, and forcefully pushed Adam's embryo into Rei Ayabaami's abdomen, hoping to merge with Lilith.

"Come on, Leigh, take me to Yui!"

"Rei Ayaami!" Ian shouted, "I think you're a good housewife, too!" ”

The long-term command of the workers allowed him to develop a loud and neutral voice.

When Rei Ayanami heard this, her eyes, which had lost their highlights, suddenly lit up, and she suddenly pushed Ikari Gendo away.

"I'm not your puppet!" Rei Ayaami, who was about to melt, ran towards Ian.

But Rei Ayanami couldn't control herself.

The crippled Lilith crucified grew to its full state, and a huge suction force came from Lilith's body, which was longing for her soul.

Rei Ayanami flew into the air and was sucked in by Lilith.

"Captain! Go to Ayana! Ian shouted, and massive crystalline columns grew on the ground, creating a carrier for the three-dimensional maneuver

Levi smacked his lips and swirled in the air.

Lilith's body fell, the alloy walls, the crystalline pillars, and his body cut through the things made of matter, like a virtual projection.

At the same time, an unexpected person from Ikari Gendo appeared at the entrance.

It was Ritsuko Akagi, who was supported by many people, and someone bandaged her wounds.

The shot grazed her heart, and after she fell unconscious, the young people who had been hiding in the command room rescued her and led her to the Final Dogma Zone.

"Ritsuko-sama, a lot has happened, but we are all grateful for the care you have always taken care of."

This is what Aoba said to Ritsuko.

"It's still in time!" Ritsuko said loudly, "Rei Ayaami, bring Ian to Lilith, you guys are going to Hatsuki, to Shinji!" ”

Before Ritsuko finished speaking, Ian had already come to Rei Ayaami.

Rei Ayanami completely lost her human form, and Lilith's body slammed down, smashing into the LCL.

Ian and Rei Ayanami blended into Lilith together, and the pure white body changed into Rei Ayanami's shape.

Ritsuko smiled: "I'll leave the rest to you." ”

With a snap, she and all the young people present, including Ikari Gentang, lost their AT force field and returned to the most primitive water of life.
