For the three of them, dealing with the mass-produced EVA machines was much easier than dealing with the apostles - of course, this was also within Fang Zheng's expectations. After all, in the movie, Asuka was able to destroy them all while driving the Unit 2 with only four minutes of power. If Asuka hadn't known that these mass-produced machines were equipped with the S2 mechanism that could allow them to be reborn, then these mass-produced machines would have been dead long ago.
And now...it's the same as before.
“Aaaaaaah!!”
With a roar, Unit 2 tightly grasped the halberd and rushed directly into the arms of one of the mass-produced machines with its gun. The halberd in its hand directly pierced through the chest of the mass-produced machine. Then Unit 2 grabbed the halberd, turned it and pulled it, and saw that the halberd pulled out the S2 mechanism in the mass-produced machine like a barb. Then Unit 2 threw it away casually, and then stepped on it, directly crushing the S2 mechanism into pieces.
The mass-produced machine that had lost its S2 mechanism also trembled violently, then fell to the ground and became motionless.
"call!!"
At this moment, another mass-produced machine screamed and raised the big sword in its hand, jumped up and rushed towards Unit 2 from behind. Just as it swung the big sword in its hand, it saw Unit 0 raised its shield to block it. With a loud "clang" sound, the heavy big sword chopped into Unit 0's shield, and Unit 0 took the opportunity to dodge to the side, and took advantage of the moment when the mass-produced machine lost its balance to raise the sword and directly chopped off its head with one sword.
At the same time as the mass-produced machine fell to the ground, Unit 00 raised its sword again, stabbed it into the core of the mass-produced machine, and then twisted it hard, completely destroying it.
Unit-01 was not to be outdone. It rolled over to avoid the sweep of another mass-produced machine, then suddenly jumped forward, swinging the long sword in its hand. With blood flying everywhere, the legs of the mass-produced machine were cut off. Its body also lost its balance. However, before the mass-produced machine fell to the ground, Unit-01 rushed towards its chest with its sword, nailing it to the wall next to it.
“Good job!”
Watching this scene, Asuka happily gave a thumbs up to Shinji and Rei Ayanami. Shinji smiled slightly, while Rei Ayanami just nodded.
"But still, I can't compare to her."
“…”
When Asuka heard Rei Ayanami's answer, her expression froze a little, but she quickly recovered.
"We won't compete with perverts. She's not even a human being!"
As Asuka spoke, she looked towards the battlefield where Red Ponytail was not far away.
If the duel between EVAs still had some concerns, then facing the Red Ponytail, these mass-produced machines had no advantage at all. Their bodies were so huge that they could not hit the mosquito-sized girl at all. They waved their blades in vain, but it was meaningless.
The forty-meter-long flaming sword mercilessly separated their bodies along with the AT force field, not even giving the mass-produced machines a chance to fight back, and completely burned them to ashes.
Asuka had no way to deal with this kind of enemy. She knew very well that if she faced the red ponytail, she would be chopped into two pieces at the first sight.
As mass-produced machines failed one after another, SEELE's plan... was completely ruined.
"What? All nine EVAs were destroyed? Are you kidding me!"
At this moment, in a combat command post far away, an old man was staring at the screen with a cold expression.
"This is impossible. How could this happen? Why on earth..."
However, before the old man could finish his words, the tightly closed door suddenly opened, and a group of soldiers with guns rushed in and surrounded the old man.
"What are you doing?"
Looking at the scene in front of him, the old man frowned, and at the same time, another man appeared behind the soldiers.
"Kiru Lorenz, you are under arrest for using EVA without authorization, launching a ground offensive against NERV, and causing the Second Impact!"
"What did you say?"
Hearing this, the old man was stunned for a moment, then he seemed to understand something, sighed slowly, and stood up.
"I never thought that after all the planning, I would end up missing this step."
While muttering to himself, the old man raised his head and looked at the soldier in front of him.
"But don't think this is the end...Humanity...will still need God after all..."
“Put your hands down!”
Seeing the old man's action, the soldiers immediately raised their guns. However, before they could take the next step, the old man had already clenched his right hand.
The next moment, scorching flames erupted instantly, bursting out from the old man's body and covering the entire combat command room.
All fifteen SEELE executives, led by Kiru Lorenz, were arrested. Some of them chose to commit suicide like Kiru, while others surrendered and were arrested directly by the League of Nations. They were charged with many crimes, including misappropriation of the completed EVA mass-produced machines and attempting to trigger the Third Impact in the name of the Human Instrumentality Project.
Of course, the most serious charge is only one, and that is conspiring and carrying out the second attack!
This is also the biggest reason why Fang Zheng was able to successfully bring down SEELE. The Second Impact can be described as the greatest disaster in human history. Senior officials from various countries are extremely angry about this. Of course, they also thought it was a natural disaster at first, but now the results of the investigation tell them that this is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster!
Fang Zheng collected a large amount of information, recordings, videos and other evidence, and sent them to the top leaders of the League of Nations as a special envoy of the League of Nations.
One can imagine how angry those survivors of the Second Impact would be when they learned the truth.
In fact, they were very angry.
Except for those who committed suicide when they were arrested, all the fifteen top leaders of SEELE were brought to the military court and sentenced to death for "crimes against humanity". At the same time, the League of Nations also officially announced this information to the world and launched a comprehensive arrest operation against all members of the SEELE organization - Fang Zheng had already used the Whispering Banner to make a list, from the top to the bottom.
How the world will develop next depends on themselves.
As for Fang Zheng...
After losing nine EVA mass-produced machines, along with the arrest of SEELE's top executives, the battle was also suspended. This also made everyone else feel relieved, after all, they didn't want to be enemies with the national army in this place.
But that doesn't mean there won't be reckoning.
Fuyutsuki Kozo and Akagi Ritsuko were arrested. They were the implementers and helpers of the Human Instrumentality Project, and the League of Nations would not let them go. NERV's facilities were completely blocked, and all staff were forced to disband. Because Senji had previously launched an attack on NERV under the instigation of SEELE, he naturally had to pay the price.
So after Old Tokyo, the harmless little white rabbit was rewarded with the cession of the third New Tokyo for 99 years for its role as a strong backer of the League of Nations and for its contribution in preventing NERV from being occupied by SEELE - well, this was also an unspoken secret between Fang Zheng and the rabbit.
Now the rabbit has started the reconstruction of the third new Tokyo city. Of course, the underground space will be completely filled, and NERV and everything else will be completely cleared. This makes the NERV staff a little reluctant, but... at least they didn't go to the military court, so they are satisfied.
After all, after learning that SEELE was the mastermind behind the Second Impact, most people in NERV were also shocked by this fact. Not to mention that NERV actually joined forces with SEELE to cause the Third Impact and destroy humanity?
Oh my god, is the place where we work so dangerous?
Fortunately, most of these staff members were spared because of their low rank. Some chose to leave, while others chose to stay and rebuild the Third New Tokyo City here.
"This way, everything is almost over."
Standing in the large underground cave, Fang Zheng raised his head and looked at the dark starry sky outside. He spoke in a low voice, then he turned his head and looked at the boys and girls behind him.
"Are you ready?"
"Of course, I'm ready, Fang Zheng."
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Asuka nodded.
"The Tiandao Palace you mentioned is so magical. I really want to see what it is like."
"Me too."
Misato Katsuragi was also staring at Fang Zheng at this time and spoke.
"I also want to see whether what you said is true or false... After all, I haven't seen anything so far."
"You'll see soon enough."
Hearing Misato Katsuragi's answer, Fang Zheng smiled slightly, then he raised his head again.
"Time is up."
At the moment Fang Zheng finished speaking, suddenly, everyone saw the night sky above their heads suddenly twisted, and then, an extremely large metal warship suddenly appeared above without a sound!
“Wow!”
Seeing this huge warship suddenly appear, Shinji Ikari's legs went limp and he almost fell to the ground, while Misato Katsuragi was stunned and stood there blankly, not knowing what to do. Although she had heard Fang Zheng say this, even so, even though Misato Katsuragi had made all kinds of mental preparations, she still felt incomparable shock and surprise when she witnessed this scene with her own eyes.
Soon, a beam of light shot out from above and landed beside Fang Zheng, then transformed into a petite ship girl.
"Commander, the Guard-class Akashi is reporting in."
"Well, you're here at the right time. You should already know the mission... Where's the Ishimura?"
"Here, Commander."
Suddenly, a voice sounded silently from behind Fang Zheng. At this moment, everyone was surprised to find that a strange girl with long black hair had appeared beside them without them noticing. This immediately frightened them.
"You're still as elusive as ever..."
Looking at the Ishimura that seemed to be floating out from behind him like a ghost, Fang Zheng remained calm.
"Okay, let's start the relocation work... We only have three hours."
"clear."
