Chapter 127
NERV headquarters, Gendo Ikari's office.
Li Mu was sitting on the sofa drinking an ice-cold Black Tea, but could not calm down.
With his eyes through the lenses, he could easily see the third apostle Water Angel, who was gradually approaching Third New Tokyo City. From today on, this city would soon turn into ruins, and at the same time, it would also become the tombs of each apostle.
"I'll leave it to you to deal with SEELE."
Li Mu ordered Gendo Ikari, who was controlled by him with Imperius Curse.
Gendo Ikari nodded, and Li Mu immediately went to Freedom Gundam's standby bay. When he arrived, Rei Ayanami had already arrived. In the animation, the plot in which Water Angel had to fight to the door before remembering to look for the EVA driver was completely unfeasible in reality.
Water Angel is still dozens of kilometers away from the coastline and has been discovered by human detectors deployed in the sea.
Some time has passed now, and the residents of Third New Tokyo City are already arranging emergency evacuation.
The buildings used as shelters have been hidden underground like elevators.
However, EVA did not immediately dispatch because Blue Star United Army was preparing to attack Water Angel first. Although all countries knew that the apostles were the greatest threat to mankind, many high-level officials in various countries were skeptical about the statement that only EVA could save mankind.
On the coastal edge after the second impact, you can see the ruins of cities submerged by rising sea levels.
The underwater camera arranged in the ruins clearly captured Water Angel swimming in the underwater city ruins like a human in a diving suit. Blue Star United Army has also deployed a large number of ground troops and aviation troops along the coast in advance, preparing to annihilate Water Angel along the coast.
The moment Water Angel emerged from the sea, the tank troops along the coast had already taken the lead in firing a salvo.
What followed was a salvo of missiles from the air force in the sky and the ground missile force behind them. Water Angel was immediately covered by tens of thousands of explosions and shock waves. However, facing this level of firepower saturation attack, Water Angel, who was guarded by AT Field, was unscathed.
Water Angel gathers a large amount of soul matter under its feet through AT Field, and uses the reaction force generated to jump.
Completely ignoring the bombing of missiles, we walked across thousands of meters to the shore.
The next moment, Water Angel's eyes emitted destructive light.
All the tank units strafed by the destruction light along the way were destroyed and destroyed. The freely extending energy lightsaber in Water Angel's hand could easily pierce the missile helicopter. In a short period of time, the ground troops had suffered heavy casualties, and the aviation unit had only supersonic fighter jets to escape.
In desperation, Blue Star United Army used the last trump card N2 Mine.
This is a super mine that is weaker than a nuclear bomb but has no nuclear contamination. The only thing more powerful than N2 Mine is a nuclear weapon. However, once a nuclear bomb strikes along the coast, all nearby human cities will become barren.
Accompanied by the mushroom cloud soaring into the sky, the Blue Star United Army command headquarters burst into cheers.
However, soon, the battlefield images restored after the shock wave dissipated allowed them to see with their own eyes Water Angel who was only slightly injured in the command room. Even the minor superficial injuries were still being rapidly regenerated and repaired. The generals in the Blue Star United Army command finally recognized the reality.
AT Field cannot be broken, and any conventional human weapons are ineffective against the apostles.
Even a nuclear bomb must have a huge yield to threaten the apostles, because the only thing that can threaten the apostles is the destructive power of the nuclear explosion center. The subsequent shock wave and nuclear radiation will be a disaster for mankind, but they will not cause any harm to the apostles.
Under the iron-clad cruel facts, the Blue Star United Army command finally handed over the command to Gendo Ikari.
Freedom Gundam and Angel Gundam, which had been prepared for a long time, were also launched from the EVA launch port of the underground base at this time, just like taking an ascending elevator. The moment they appeared on the surface, the wings behind Freedom Gundam had already formed six doors of Thermal Beam Cannon through Transfiguration.
Thermal Beam Cannon, which travels at almost the speed of light, cannot avoid it before launching, so it can only resist.
Water Angel stretched out his hand, and the golden polygon AT Field blocked all the heat energy beams like a shield. However, the continuous heat energy beams also pushed Water Angel, who was still recovering from his injuries, to keep retreating. With the cover of Freedom Gundam, Rei Ayanami drove Angel Gundam to the side of Water Angel.
Looking at the approaching Angel Gundam, Water Angel released destructive light from its eyes.
However, like the thermal energy beam, the destructive light cannot penetrate the AT Field unfolded by Rei Ayanami.
Seeing that Angel Gundam was approaching the extended distance of the energy lightsaber in Water Angel's hand, Angel Gundam suddenly stopped. AT Field split into two under the powerful control. One part of AT Field continued to resist the destructive light, while the remaining part formed a golden flashing war spear in his hand.
AT Field The war spear instantly broke through several times the speed of sound, locked onto Water Angel and threw it out.
Water Angel immediately increased the defense range of AT Field. However, facing the same AT Field, his AT Field was pierced by the AT Field war spear almost instantly. In the end, the AT Field war spear penetrated the energy core of Water Angel and killed him with one blow.
Winning seems simple, but it is actually not easy.
AT Field It is difficult to stretch it into the shape of a war spear, but it is even more difficult to throw it out and maintain its destructive power.
At the same time, if Freedom Gundam's restraint hadn't dispersed Water Angel AT Field's defense, AT Field's war spear might not have been able to penetrate Water Angel's AT Field. If it couldn't kill with one hit, Water Angel would have chosen to self-destruct and drag the enemy to death when faced with a certain death situation.
Before Blue Star United Army could react, Rei Ayanami stepped forward and grabbed Water Angel's body and returned to the underground city.
She heard from Li Mu that Freedom Gundam and Angel Gundam can fuse with the apostles and continue to become stronger.
In this way, facing other more powerful apostles in the future, the danger they face will naturally be reduced a lot.
Angel Gundam dragged Water Angel all the way to the entrance of the underground city. Along the way, he didn't notice at all that a frightened and trembling boy was sitting on the roadside. Water Angel's arm flicked slightly during the dragging process, and the boy was immediately swatted away like a fly.
By the time it landed on the ground, it had already broken its neck with its head on the ground.
When he was dying, the boy recalled the happy memories of his childhood with his father Gendo Ikari and mother Yui Ikari.
Freedom Gundam, who was following Angel Gundam, paused slightly as he passed by.
Li Mu did not expect that Shinji Ikari, the son of Gendo Ikari, would die here in a dramatic way, but it was not surprising. Shinji Ikari himself was cowardly and seeking death. When Water Angel attacked, there were evacuation broadcasts everywhere, and others were taking refuge. Only Shinji Ikari was still running around on the streets seeking death.
If it wasn't for the plot, the male protagonist would have been dead at the beginning.
He was lucky to be able to avoid the explosion of N2 Mine this time, but obviously his luck ended there. As Freedom Gundam was walking, a huge boulder was kicked to the side of the road by the sole of his foot. Shinji Ikari, who was already dead, immediately turned into a meat pie that no one could recognize.
The video of Water Angel being killed cleanly quickly appeared all over the world.
Countries were shocked by the astonishing combat effectiveness of the two EVAs at NERV headquarters, and were even more wary of SEELE and NERV.
The entire NERV headquarters was celebrating, but Li Mu brought Rei Ayanami to the warehouse where Water Angel's body was stored.
Since Angel Gundam was born, he and Freedom Gundam were ordered to be sent to a secret hangar by Gendo Ikari. Apart from Gendo Ikari himself, only the two pilots have the authority to enter, and he, the pilot of Freedom Gundam, has never appeared in front of everyone.
Because of this, Ritsuko Akagi from the Technology Development Department almost had a falling out with Gendo Ikari.
I chose to keep it secret just for moments like this.
Li Mu spread his hands, and the cyan fire floated towards Water Angel's body. Rei Ayanami also immediately released Angel Gundam's fire, two The cyan fire fell on Water Angel's corpse and immediately began to devour the apostle's corpse through Human Instrumentality, as well as the energy core formed by Fruit of Life contained in the body.
Less than a minute later, Water Angel's body had disappeared.
Li Mu recalled Tinder, and the properties of Freedom Gundam have indeed changed a lot as expected.
[Freedom Gundam: Half-fire alchemical life]
[Quality: Cyan Heaven Grade]
[Attributes: Depends on the driver, the maximum strength does not exceed the first apostle Adam]
[Equipment: Thermal Beam Cannon, space shock wave, Fruit of Life fragments]
[Active skill: AT Field]
[Active skill: Apparition]
[Active skill: Destruction Beam]
[Passive skill: Human Instrumentality]
Destruction Beam, which originally belonged to Water Angel, now appears in the skill list of Freedom Gundam.
In terms of pure local destructive power, Thermal Beam Cannon is even better than Destruction Beam.
But Destruction Beam also has advantages, that is, it will explode after hitting the target, and it will not reduce the destructive power against those heat-resistant targets. On the other hand, Thermal Beam Cannon is amazingly lethal to life and heat-labile materials, but it cannot damage heat-resistant materials.
With Destruction Beam, Freedom Gundam's long-range attack capabilities are even more powerful.
Devouring apostles can also acquire skills, which makes Li Mu look forward to the future of Freedom Gundam and Angel Gundam.
Li Mu then took a look at the attributes of Angel Gundam. Like Freedom Gundam, Angel Gundam also got new skills and Fruit of Life fragments, but she inherited the telescopic lightsaber released by Water Angel through the palm of her hand. AT Field will definitely become a nightmare for the enemy in close cooperation.
There are still three weeks until the next apostle arrives, and Li Mu is not prepared to waste three weeks.
Taking advantage of this time, he planned to steal Dead Sea Scrolls.
When he was around Lilith, he felt that the Spear of Longinus inserted into Lilith's body could be used for sacrifice.
I believe Dead Sea Scrolls can also do it. After all, this is a magical object that has existed in this world for billions of years and can record the past and predict the future.
Putting aside the value of the sacrifice itself, the things recorded in it are priceless treasures.
Although Gendo Ikari can see some copies of death documents, Dead Sea Scrolls's real core secrets will definitely not be revealed to Gendo Ikari. Although he is also one of the top executives of SEELE, the director of NERV is destined to be deeply wary of other senior executives of SEELE.
However, in order to infiltrate the SEELE headquarters, it is necessary to leave the NERV headquarters for a long time.
If the Imperius Curse on Gendo Ikari fails and discovers that his son is missing, and then discovers that Unit-01 fused with the soul of his wife Yui Ikari becomes Angel Gundam, God knows what kind of revenge Gendo Ikari will make in despair.
After some thinking, Li Mu spent a few days Alchemical Enchantment Alchemical Enchantment the lounge in Gendo Ikari's office.
The magic circle in the lounge can first repel soul matter, and secondly help enhance Imperius Curse.
Finally, Li Mu made a Spark Mask for Gendo Ikari to wear.
Through Spark Mask, he can remotely strengthen Imperius Curse on Gendo Ikari. Since NERV headquarters is full of soul matter, directly strengthening Imperius Curse is half the effort. However, with the magic circle in the lounge, he can offset the interference of soul matter and successfully strengthen Imperius Curse.
Early this morning, Li Mu could not wait to leave the NERV headquarters.
Ten minutes later, Li Mu teleported to Blue Star's South Pole.
This is the landing point where the first apostle Adam arrived on the earth, and it is also the place where Adam has been sleeping for 4.6 billion years. It is also the explosion point where SEELE found Adam and committed suicide, triggering the second impact of Adam. The entire Antarctic is caused by Diffindo, which causes the global sea level to rise.
All countries have concealed the truth about this, and the people only know that it was the disaster caused by the fall in Antarctica.
Because Adam formed a second impact here and destroyed his body, the soul material in this place is very abundant and very violent. There are tornadoes and lightning everywhere all year round. Countries have tried to send fleets to explore this place, but all their armies were annihilated without exception.
In addition to natural disasters, man-made disasters also played a large role.
Even Gendo Ikari didn't know that SEELE's headquarters had secretly moved here, but through Deep Space Radar and Shipborne Optical Computer, and in cooperation with Clairvoyance Spark Li Mu, they easily locked the SEELE headquarters deep underground in Antarctica.
Clairvoyance Spark is locked, Li Mu has Apparition sneaked into the base.
The main purpose of coming here this time was to steal things, so he was not prepared to cause any complications.
After all, he didn't know what the top executives of SEELE were hiding.
Through Shipborne Optical Computer's intrusion into the supercomputer in the base, Li Mu quickly learned the specific structure of the base.
Through Clairvoyance Spark, he conducted the most detailed fluoroscopic search of the hidden places in each base. However, nothing was found in the past two days. It seemed that the original death document was not here, and only a copy of the death document was kept here.
He can also see the contents of the Dead Sea Scrolls copy without going to steal it.
It is indeed more detailed than the Dead Sea Scrolls that Gendo Ikari knows. It not only records the births of Adam and Lilith, but also records the two impacts 4.6 billion years later, records the weaknesses of Adam and Lilith, and finally records many black technologies recorded by Dead Sea Scrolls.
Among them, the most exciting thing for Li Mu is the soul salvage technology. It is this technology that allowed SEELE to extract the souls of Adam and Lilith.
It is also this technology that caused Rei Ayanami to lose his past life memory.
In addition to these, there are also a series of technologies such as how to control Spear of Longinus, how to make Spear of Longinus replicas, and how to seal the apostle through Spear of Longinus. Only by mastering these technologies can SEELE control the world behind the scenes.
Li Mu searched for another two days, and Clairvoyance Spark thoroughly searched every corner of the SEELE headquarters.
The original Dead Sea Scrolls was still not found, but he found the soul Reincarnation body of Adam and the sealed body of Adam. He could not find Dead Sea Scrolls. Being able to steal the sealed body of Adam was a huge gain for him.
