"The Dorian is sinking!"
"The attack has no effect!!"
The current battle situation is becoming increasingly tense. Looking at the unscrupulous apostle, Katsuragi Misato is also confused. After all, judging from the apostle's actions, it seems to be looking for something... But what is it looking for?
“Woo…”
However, at this moment, Misato Katsuragi saw a fighter plane suddenly appear on the deck, with Ryoji Kaji sitting on it!
According to the general routine, shouldn't Kaji Ryoji take action to attract the apostles' attention at this time?
However, that was just a general routine. The fact was that after Ryoji Kaji said hello to Misato Katsuragi, he directly fled in a fighter plane!
This made Katsuragi Misato very angry but there was nothing she could do...
"Third Lieutenant Fangzheng, take Asuka and Shinji and evacuate immediately."
At this point, Katsuragi Misato was at a loss. EVA Unit 2 had sunk to the bottom of the water. Now she couldn't fight the Angel even if she wanted to. From the current point of view, it was obvious that she could only evacuate temporarily and think of another way...
"Okay, I understand..."
Hearing Katsuragi Misato's order, Fang Zheng nodded, and at this moment, suddenly, another explosion sounded, followed by a scream.
"That monster is coming towards us!"
"What?"
Hearing this, Katsuragi Misato and the others were shocked. They turned their heads and looked out the window. As expected, they saw the huge apostle rushing forward from the front, rushing towards the aircraft carrier they were on like a torpedo. Then the next moment, the apostle monster that was bigger than a whale opened its bloody mouth, leaped from the sea, and pounced on everyone!
Is this the end?
Seeing the apostle approaching, Katsuragi Misato looked ashen. The only thing she could do was to clench her fists and stare at the apostle with his bloody mouth getting closer and closer to her...
However, at this moment, no one noticed that a dazzling light appeared in Fang Zheng's eyes.
The next moment... scorching flames suddenly fell from the sky!
"boom!!"
The burning flames turned into meteors that spanned the sky, falling directly from the sky and hitting the apostle's head heavily. And this seemingly insignificant blow actually knocked the huge apostle to the deck!
What is... happening?
Seeing the Apostle being knocked down on the deck, almost everyone was stunned for a moment. Could it be support? But Unit 0 is still at the headquarters? And that didn't look like an attack from the EVA...
However, before everyone could figure out what was going on, things changed again.
The Apostle that was knocked down on the deck suddenly began to twist and deform. Its huge body quickly decomposed and reorganized, turning into a unique geometric shape. From a distance, it looked like a dark clock tower. The S2 mechanism that was originally hidden deep in its body was also exposed. At the same time, countless sharp black spikes whizzed out from the Apostle's body and flew into the air - and then the next moment, those black spikes exploded instantly and were submerged in a sea of fire.
"What on earth is that?"
Misato Katsuragi also snatched the telescope and looked towards the explosion, but the next moment, her eyes widened in surprise.
Is that... a person?
That's right, a petite figure suddenly emerged from the flames. She was wearing a strange tights that looked similar to an EVA pilot suit. In her hand, she held a bright red sword that looked even bigger than she herself, and a pair of ponytails fluttered in the wind.
Then the next moment, the girl suddenly turned over and landed steadily on the deck.
"child?"
"Who is that?"
"What is she doing?"
At this moment, the other people in the command room also saw the girl with red twin ponytails and were immediately shocked. Even Asuka and Ikari Shinji could not hold back their surprise. You know, although from the surface, this girl might be younger than them, and she was also fighting against the apostles.
But the problem is that the opponent didn't drive any machine, but just went straight up and chopped!
But whether it is Asuka or Shinji Ikari, it is obvious that they do not have the ability to defeat the apostles with their bare hands!
“Swish, swish, swish!!”
At this moment, the apostle had already stood up, and was manipulating the black spike-like weapon to shoot at the girl standing on the overtime. Logically speaking, it was impossible for an ordinary person to block such a spike that was larger than a fighter plane, and being smashed into a pulp was the normal outcome.
However, the girl with the red ponytail in front of him obviously didn't care. Facing the black spikes that were bigger than herself, she swung the bright red sword in her hand and swung it hard, smashing all the black spikes in front of her into pieces.
"Cover now! Attack!!"
Although he didn't know the origin of the red ponytail girl in front of him, at least for now, she was obviously on his side, so after the initial shock, Misato Katsuragi quickly came to her senses and issued an order. Soon, following Misato Katsuragi's order, the surrounding warships that had not been destroyed before launched an attack on the apostles again.
Missiles, torpedoes, artillery.
Unfortunately, although the Pacific Fleet almost exploded with all its strength, it still couldn't penetrate the Apostle's AT force field.
"Damn it, is it possible that I can only apply for N2?"
Seeing the apostle who was not moved at all, Katsuragi Misato also punched the table angrily. However, at this moment, as if hearing Katsuragi Misato's complaint, the apostle's pointer suddenly pointed to the aircraft carrier, and then, a dazzling beam of light began to condense at the tip of its pointer...
"not good!"
Seeing this scene, Misato Katsuragi was immediately shocked. The Fifth Angel's body was still warm, how could she forget that the Apostle had this kind of beam attack?
"Everyone prepare for impact!"
While yelling, Katsuragi Misato tightly grasped the control console beside her. At this time, the others also hurriedly hugged the things around them, waiting for the impact that would follow.
The next moment, there was a flash of light.
A high-temperature ray that was enough to vaporize the entire aircraft carrier suddenly burst out and shot towards the aircraft carrier in front of her. However, just as Katsuragi Misato gritted her teeth and prepared to wait for the judgment of fate to come, she saw the girl with the red ponytail raised her hand to the sky.
“——!!”
The next moment, accompanied by the appearance of mysterious runes and patterns, a circular magic barrier suddenly appeared above the aircraft carrier, blocking the apostle's full-strength attack!
"this……"
Seeing this, Misato Katsuragi's jaw dropped in shock.
She had never imagined that a girl who looked less than fourteen years old could actually block the apostle's attack with her bare hands!
However, this is not the end!
While blocking the apostle's attack, Red Ponytail raised his arms and pointed them at the sky.
"Phantom Fire Pillar!"
As she roared, a beam of light suddenly burst out from her hand, but it did not hit the apostle. Instead, it passed by it and disappeared into the sky.
Missed the target?
Seeing this, everyone present was stunned, but before they could react, they saw a huge pillar of fire suddenly descending from the sky, enveloping the apostle! !
“——!!!”
Facing this sudden attack, the apostle also tried to struggle, but even if it materialized the AT force field, it had no way to escape from the beam! At the same time, Red Ponytail had already clenched the bright red sword in his hand, and the flames burst and boiled, turning into a huge 40-meter-long sword blade.
"Scorching Explosion!!"
There was a flash of fire.
The 40-meter-long sword burning with flames swung through the air, splitting the apostle in front of it and its core into two. The next moment, accompanied by the apostle's unwilling screams, its entire body exploded completely and disappeared in the pillar of fire.
“…”
Seeing this scene before their eyes, almost everyone was speechless with astonishment. They just stared blankly at the bodies of the apostles that collapsed into the sea, and the blood that scattered all over the sky. For a moment, the same thought ran through their minds.
Am I dreaming?
Although everyone hoped that they were dreaming, unfortunately, this was not a dream. After the apostle was destroyed, Katsuragi Misato came to her senses and began to arrange for the salvage of Unit 2 and the cleanup of the aftermath, while reporting the matter back to the headquarters as quickly as possible.
After receiving the news from Misato Katsuragi, the headquarters was greatly shocked. Misato Katsuragi and others were recalled almost immediately. Even Gendo Ikari and Deputy Commander Fuyutsuki, who rarely appeared in public on weekdays, attended this highly secret meeting!
Fang Zheng was not surprised by NERV's reaction. In fact, in his plan, he had originally planned to let Red Ponytail appear to deal with the apostles. However, at that time, Fang Zheng was considering to appear when facing the 14th angel. After all, Xiaoli and Pyramid were the top three apostles with the strongest presence, and the 14th angel was obviously not something that EVA could defeat, so letting Red Ponytail deal with it and appear at the same time was also a good idea.
The reason for doing this is simple: to contain.
The reason why NERV is so arbitrary, why Ikari Gendō can hide the truth, and why SEELE can be so bold, are all based on one premise - that is, only EVA can defeat the apostles, and only NERV can save the world. But in fact, no one is willing to hand over their fate to a group of 14-year-old children and a few robots that go berserk at any time.
So in the world of EVA, although EVA is mainly responsible for fighting the enemy, other countries and many institutions are also developing their own combat weapons and equipment against the apostles, but they were secretly destroyed by SEELE and NERV.
From this we can see that the idea that all of humanity will work together when facing extinction is all nonsense. The prerequisite for resisting foreign aggression is to first stabilize the internal situation.
Otherwise, let's all die together.
The reason why Fang Zheng chose the red ponytail instead of attacking with a dragon body was simple. After all, this world was invaded by monsters, and monsters were naturally unwelcome and suspicious. If Fang Zheng used the time dragon, he would be labeled an apostle by Ikari Gendo, so he simply used the red ponytail.
I've just changed the style of your painting, let's see what you're going to do?
At the meeting, everyone watched the battle between the apostle and the girl with red ponytail over and over again, but no one spoke. Until the end, Deputy Commander Dong Yue paused the video and announced that the meeting would enter the discussion phase.
"To be honest, even if I saw it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it was real. I'd rather believe it was a movie..."
Looking at the scene in front of her, Maya Ibuki couldn't help but sigh, then turned and looked at Ritsuko Akagi beside her, while Ritsuko Akagi remained silent.
"I feel like I'm dreaming, but the problem is that this is reality."
Misato Katsuragi was also speechless. She had experienced it herself, and because of this, it was even more unimaginable for Misato Katsuragi.
What kind of human being can possess such power?
"What about the girl?"
"I don't know. After the apostles were eliminated, she disappeared."
In response to Vice Commander Fuyutsuki's question, Misato Katsuragi shook her head.
“…”
Hearing this, Deputy Commander Fuyutsuki and Ikari Gendō exchanged glances, and each could see the other's solemn expression.
That strange girl possesses strange powers and can even destroy the apostles!
This means that EVA and NERV are no longer the only trump cards!
From a certain perspective, the existence of that girl is even more terrifying than that of the apostles!
