Chapter 130
Li Mu and Rei Ayanami finished dinner and immediately headed to the Pacific Ocean under the cover of darkness.
According to Freedom Gundam's perception, the fourth apostle Day Angel is sleeping in the nearby deep sea.
According to time estimates, it will take more than a week for Day Angel to wake up normally.
If a mysterious existence suddenly appears at this time and continuously kills the sleeping apostles, and the dream of letting SEELE recover the apostle Fruit of Life fragments to complete Human Instrumentality Project fails, SEELE who is forced into a corner will definitely take out Dead Sea Scrolls.
Although Dead Sea Scrolls may threaten his life, he has Nirvana and is not afraid of death.
Speaker Keel was not captured, but he was just worried that Speaker Keel would be caught here. Before he could torture him to find out where Dead Sea Scrolls was, other senior executives of SEELE had been alerted and immediately transferred Dead Sea Scrolls, so Speaker Keel was the last resort.
Li Mu Apparition reaches directly above Day Angel, releases Phoenix and begins to lift off.
About five thousand meters above the sea surface, golden flames began to burn on the surface of Phoenix. Nirvana Flame of Phoenix itself was black and red, so this golden flame originated from his Origin HuoZhong. The continuous release of sunlight made Phoenix fall into the sea like a small sun.
Such unabashed movement was immediately discovered by various satellites.
The Phoenix dived to the sea surface with its thrusters fully open, relying on its speed to break through the water flow along the way to form a supercavitation. The sea water along the way seemed to separate on its own. In just a few seconds, the Phoenix that penetrated the seabed locked on the Day Angel and fired a Void Realm Starshatter Cannon.
Feeling a fatal threat, Day Angel immediately woke up early.
AT Field unfolded immediately, but Void Burst Bomb was directly broken through the space by Void Realm Starshatter Cannon and teleported behind AT Field. The space shock released instantly shook Day Angel's body to Diffindo. A single apostle had no room to fight back against Phoenix.
Li Mu quickly salvaged the wreckage of Day Angel, and Phoenix left the sea and headed to the seabed offshore.
The fifth apostle, Thunder Angel, is currently sleeping under the sea bed, covered by the sea water and the earth.
So even SEELE and NERV don't know the specific place where Thunder Angel is sleeping.
This time there was not enough space to transfer Void Burst Bomb to Thunder Angel. AT Field could not directly vibrate the space on the seabed, and it was difficult to penetrate Void Burst Bomb from the front with one shot. Void Burst Bomb was not easy to manufacture, so Li Mu decided to use another attack method.
Phoenix escaped from the orbit of Blue Star at the fastest speed, and then began to accelerate from space.
Finally, at a speed of one hundred kilometers per second, it accurately locked onto the sleeping place of Thunder Angel, and began to dive like a falling meteorite. While diving, a space explosion bomb was sent into the offshore seawater. The space shock completely shook open the seawater several kilometers deep to form a seawater cavity of more than ten kilometers.
The tsunami caused by the offshore sea was hundreds of meters high, and the space oscillation disappeared, and the seawater began to flow back into the seawater hollow.
Seizing this opportunity without the resistance of sea water, Phoenix fell from the sky like a small sun and hit the seabed. The shock wave caused by the impact caused the seawater that had just begun to flow back to continue to impact outwards, forming a tsunami that hit the coast again.
Because the waves were too high, the sea water even hit Third New Tokyo City.
Thunder Angel, sleeping deep under the sea like an octahedral sapphire, was almost immediately torn apart by the impact of Phoenix. However, Thunder Angel did not die. The vital points of all the apostles were Fruit of Life fragments. The apostles could regenerate without being broken.
Thunder Angel's regeneration is particularly fast, and he can turn his sapphire-like body into the same as a slime Transfiguration.
However, Transfiguration's body is also a standard geometrically symmetrical figure. With the reorganization of Diffindo's body, although Thunder Angel's body shrunk by two circles, it still reorganized into a regular octahedron and spread out to fully cover AT Field. It began to float upward after leaving the seabed.
At the same time, Thunder Angel locked onto Phoenix, which was a particle cannon dozens of meters thick.
Phoenix unfolded Thorn Energy Shield, reaching the edge of breaking the shield almost instantly.
However, Phoenix originally did not expect this energy shield. Before the shield was broken, Void Realm Starshatter Cannon was locked on Thunder Angel. When Void Burst Bomb penetrated AT Field, Thunder Angel's second particle cannon also penetrated Thorn Energy Shield.
The characteristic of thorns' counter-injury is activated, Void Realm Starshatter Cannon ignores the cooldown and ignores the buffer and fires twice instantly.
Two consecutive Void Burst Bomb appeared between the AT Field and Thunder Angel bodies.
Seeing that Thunder Angel was about to be killed like Day Angel, Thunder Angel suddenly generated a second layer of AT Field close to the body surface. Although the intensity was much lower than the outer layer of AT Field, it successfully deflected some of the damage from Void Burst Bomb.
By the time the space shock disappeared, Thunder Angel's size had shrunk by more than half.
The slime-like sapphire body rushed into the sea with Thunder Angel. A sapphire-like photon drill extended directly below Thunder Angel. It began to dig holes the moment it touched the seabed. Apparently, it chose to retreat after realizing that it was invincible.
Although the apostle has little wisdom, he will not retreat without a fight.
If you encounter EVA at this time, because EVA is also an artificial apostle in nature, the apostle will not run away. It would rather self-destruct and drag the artificial apostle to death. However, if it is an enemy other than the artificial apostle, the apostle will not fight to the death.
Specifically why this is the case, only the apostles themselves can understand their action patterns.
How could Li Mu allow a duck to fly away if it reaches its beak?
Phoenix directly accelerated and pounced on Thunder Angel, grabbing AT Field firmly with both claws. At the same time, all the feathers on the back of the head turned into propellers. The head locked Thunder Angel and began to peck at super high speed. Due to the loss once, Thunder Angel now attached AT Field to the body surface without leaving any gaps.
A steady stream of ion cannons hit Phoenix at extremely close range.
However, the hull strength of Phoenix is as high as 30,000, which is difficult to destroy without dozens of particle cannons. Although the strength of the 30,000 hull is only several times higher than that of Thorn Energy Shield, you must know that the higher the strength of the hull, the harder it is.
This is like one meter thick steel. Compared with ten meters thick steel, the defense is definitely more than ten times worse.
Therefore, Phoenix completely ignored Thunder Angel's particle cannon. Instead, because the two sides were too close, the particle cannon attacked Phoenix at the same time as Thunder Angel itself also caused damage. In conjunction with Phoenix's pecking and Nirvana Flame's burning, Thunder Angel's AT Field was finally penetrated.
Locking the position of the Fruit of Life fragment, Phoenix bit the Fruit of Life fragment and pulled it out of Thunder Angel's body.
Bone Blood Gourd showed up to take away Thunder Angel's body, and Phoenix fluttered its wings and disappeared into the clouds.
Although it only took a few minutes for Phoenix to kill two apostles in a row, these few minutes were like a day's work for all the forces around the world. They had no idea what Phoenix was. Was it an unknown apostle or a visitor from outside the world, or even a combat weapon developed by a certain force?
