Before it could even react, it was violently struck on the head by a huge fist, causing a large amount of blue blood to spurt out.
The sudden action caught the water angel off guard, leaving her stunned and unable to even activate her AT field. She couldn't understand why this creature, who was similar in size to herself, was so ferocious.
However, with Life Joy Art Fin VIIImI Erju. II under threat, the AT Field instantly deployed, blocking one powerful punch after another from Unit-00.
This has led to a temporary stalemate between the two sides.
Upon witnessing this scene, all the members in the command room fell silent.
The fighting power unleashed by this first eligible candidate exceeded all previous expectations.
Unit-00 was clearly just an experimental machine, and it was previously in a berserk state, making it difficult to use effectively. How could it unleash such power after recovering from its injuries? There wasn't even a gradual, incremental process involved.
Is this reasonable?
Gendo Ikari turned his gaze to Yarin, whose smile remained unchanged. Clearly, all of this was within his expectations.
“Commander, we can deal with the Angels even without Unit-01. Instead of focusing on Rei, you should pay more attention to Shinji. Dr. Ikari might have been watching you all along.”
Yalin made a joke.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be surprising if Unit-01 went berserk one day and bit Gendo Ikari in two.
For Yui Ikari, her son comes first; as for her husband? Compared to him, he's just someone on the street.
"...You've done a good job teaching him." Gendo Ikari, not swayed by anger, said after a long silence.
He had indeed underestimated his opponent in the past.
Being entrusted with such an important task by Seele means that he could potentially be replaced at a crucial moment.
In fact, Yalin has already posed a great threat to Gendo Ikari's plans.
Even if it means resorting to unconventional and radical methods, we must eliminate the other party.
"I still need to learn more from Commander Ikari's teaching experience, but in terms of cultivating the thickness of the heart wall, I am far inferior to the Commander," Yalin said with a smile.
Gendo Ikari remained unfazed by the words. As long as Yui Ikari wasn't mentioned, he didn't care how much he was criticized.
......
After several unsuccessful strikes, Rei Ayanami withdrew her blocked fist.
He then deployed Unit-00's AT Field, encircling his fist, and continued to brutally hammer at the Water Angel's AT Field, instantly creating ripples that clearly wouldn't last long.
The moment the defense was shattered, the Water Angel's pupils shone brightly, and a laser beam filled with destructive energy was fired at Unit-00.
Rei Ayanami remained expressionless as Unit-00 gracefully stepped to the left to evade the attack.
Then, he grabbed the water angel's head with his left hand, stabilizing its body. With his right hand, he focused his AT field and struck its core, beginning a brutal and inhumane torment.
Faced with a one-sided battle, everyone in the command room smiled, and some even prepared to celebrate with champagne at halftime.
The first suitable candidate is so powerful, this round is in the bag.
Even though the surrounding streets were reduced to ruins by the battle, the cost of repairing them was negligible compared to building and restoring EVAs.
As the atmosphere lightened, Yalin remained calm. Looking at the frustrated water angel, he knew it still had one last resort.
A few breaths later, the Water Angel, unable to bear the humiliation, transformed into a sphere and enveloped Unit Zero, preparing to explode together.
Even if it means death, I will take Li Lin's fighting force with me on my journey.
As apostles of the Adam lineage, they were all incredibly solitary, rejecting all living beings except themselves.
Even though they were brothers and sisters, they were hostile to each other, vying for the only chance to return to Adam.
But it is destined not to survive now. Rather than letting Lilith's offspring benefit from it, it is better to give the remaining apostles a greater chance of returning.
With this thought in mind, its body began to emit white light, and the energy fluctuations it emitted instantly silenced the command room.
Gendo Ikari watched this scene, his hands crossed under his nose, the reflection in his glasses obscuring his expression, only the slight upturn of his lips revealing his true feelings.
"Commander Ikari, don't show that villainous smile, or people will think you're gloating, which will damage your reputation."
Yalin's voice suddenly entered his ears, causing Gendo Ikari's smile to stop instantly, and he stared at the screen expressionlessly.
There's no need to argue with the other party. Once the new Rei Ayanami is born, everything will return to normal.
He will eventually achieve his goal, Gendo Ikari is certain of.
On the battlefield, Rei Ayanami sensed the terrifying energy fluctuations within the Water Angel and realized the impending fate.
If Unit-00 is bombed, she will also be affected.
Even with her current physical condition, serious injury is inevitable.
She was used to pain and weakness. It just meant she'd have to trouble Yalin for a while longer.
However, according to Yalin, family members are always causing each other trouble. She'll repay them after she recovers.
Thinking this, Rei Ayanami stroked the stigmata, a smile appearing on her lips.
Just then, the stigmata became scorching hot, and then Yalin's voice echoed in his mind.
"Ayanami, hand over the reins to me," the other party said.
"Hmm!" The girl closed her eyes, relaxed her mind and body, and handed everything over to Yalin.
When she opened her eyes again, her crimson pupils were filled with an inhuman quality.
In the command center, Rei Ayanami's synchronization rate with Unit-00 was soaring to an unbelievable level. Before anyone could react, it quickly plummeted back to 88%, as if it were all an illusion.
Immediately afterwards, Unit-00 reached out and grabbed the core of the Water Angel, crushing it.
Volume 1: Chapter 96: Admitting Mistakes and Correcting Themselves and the Meeting (4k)
After its core was shattered in half, the Water Angel's self-destruction process was abruptly interrupted, suffering irreparable damage and losing the ability to fight again.
Yalin operated Unit Zero and began testing the effects of the S2 mechanism inside the Water Angel.
This is a special existence possessed by the Adam-type apostles, which continuously provides power to the apostles, making it almost a perpetual motion machine.
This contrasts sharply with EVA, which frequently experiences power outages.
Thus, a brutal and inhumane ravages began on the battlefield.
Three minutes later, Unit-00 completely killed the tattered Water Angel, ending the battle.
In the command center, Gendo Ikari frowned and remained silent as he watched Zero's brutal and indifferent fighting style on the battlefield.
Is this still the Rei Ayanami he used to know? How did her style become so ruthless?
What exactly did Yalin teach?
"Commander Ikari, it's time to recall Unit-00. This battle is over."
Yalin regained his composure, quite satisfied with piloting the EVA. Seeing that Gendo Ikari remained silent, he "kindly" reminded him.
It was then noticed that Gendo Ikari's mood had clearly calmed down.
He had a basic understanding of the S2 core.
This is a giant circuit composed of DNA-sized bio-type superconducting coils that generates energy in a manner similar to the annihilation of positron and electron pairs.
However, this is only the surface situation; at a deeper level, it is vaguely related to higher-dimensional spaces.
As for the specific principles, it's difficult for him to figure them out in a short time on his own, so it's better to leave it to NERV to work on.
Anyway, Seele has been taken over by Yalin, and all information and findings related to the Apostles will flow to him.
......
When Rei Ayanami returned to NERV headquarters, she found that the way people looked at her was different from before, with a hint of awe in it.
Shinji Ikari, in particular, watched Rei Ayanami rubbing her eyes vigorously.
It's unbelievable that the pilot of Unit-00, who cruelly dismembered the Water Angel, was actually this harmless, emotionless girl.
The contrast was so striking that it even horrified him.
EVA is truly harmful.
"Ayanami, are you alright?"
Misato Katsuragi approached Rei Ayanami and asked with a hint of worry.
She suspected that the girl might have schizophrenia, otherwise she couldn't explain the changes in her.
Rei Ayanami looked at Misato Katsuragi with curiosity upon hearing this, not understanding why she did this.
"Perhaps I'm overthinking it, there's no need to worry about it." He was being gazed upon by those pure, emotionless red eyes.
Misato Katsuragi began to wonder if she was overthinking things, but she would need to consult a psychologist about the situation later.
Rei Ayanami may have a dual personality, which would explain her drastically different behavior during battle. While unlikely, it's not impossible.
Those who become qualified individuals all have psychological problems to some extent.
A happy family environment with both parents present may not be able to cultivate the right individuals needed.
This world is just so messed up.
Ritsuko Akagi, on the other hand, was interested in the sudden surge in synchronization rate.
Even if it was only for a moment, Ritsuko Akagi noticed that the highest peak value had even exceeded 200%.
This has crossed the safety line and there is a vague tendency for it to be assimilated by Unit-00, even if the probability is not high.
How did this replica achieve that?
Despite her curiosity, Ritsuko Akagi refrained from making any rash moves. With Rei Ayanami's vice-commander, Ayarin, standing behind her, getting his consent for the research was virtually impossible.
As for forcing it, seele warns!
The other members, however, didn't have such thoughts; upon learning of the victory, smiles appeared on their faces.
The defeat of the Third Apostle proves that humanity has the ability to resist the Apostles and will not repeat the tragedy of fifteen years ago.
Their efforts were worthwhile.
The oppressive atmosphere that had been building up throughout the organization dissipated considerably at that moment.
Even though Rei Ayanami's fighting style is ruthless, she can give you a lot of confidence as a teammate.
Therefore, the vast majority of NERV members looked at her with increasing friendliness.
