Thud-bang!!! Boom!!!
A deafening explosion erupted against the Power Angel, tearing open its A.T. Field as Shinji broke through with the Greatsword and his own field.
Unfortunately, it was no use. The Power Angel still blocked his attack.
Calling Shinji deranged now would have been no exaggeration. He was every bit as crazed as Huang Zhetian had been earlier.
Shinji's twitchy smile made him look like a stranger, while memories of the days he had spent with his friends flashed through his mind.
His cheerful everyday conversations with Zhetian-kun.
His warm, quiet exchanges with Rei Ayanami.
His bitter-rival shouting matches with Asuka.
Aunt Misato's concern for him.
Mr. Kaji...
And Dad?!
But!!!
Why?! Why did monsters like the Angels have to exist?! Why did I have to pilot an EVA because of them?!
It was all you!! All because you monsters appeared!!! Kill, kill, kill!!! Die!!! Just die!!
Shinji threw down the Greatsword, drew the Plasma Vibrating Knife from the mechanism in his shoulder, and stabbed it hard into the Power Angel's A.T. Field.
Unit-01 quickly sliced the field open, but the instant it did, the Power Angel lashed out with one of its long strips!!
The strip sliced off its wrist, taking the Plasma Vibrating Knife in its hand with it.
Blood splashed across the ground, pouring freely from the wound in an endless torrent.
Shinji seemed unable to feel the pain. He thrust his other arm forward, seized the Power Angel by the face, and slammed it viciously into the ground!!!
Boom-thud!!!!
Unit-01 opened its mouth wide and roared at the Power Angel pinned beneath it. Its remaining hand never stopped moving, driving another Plasma Vibrating Knife furiously into the armor covering the core in the Power Angel's chest.
Even the Power Angel's regeneration could not withstand the
