The forked tip of the Pseudo-Spear of Longinus pierced the Mass-Production Evangelion's head.
As Unit-02 twisted its wrist, the twin prongs spun, their broad blades shredding the Mass-Production Evangelion's entire head.
The attack reduced everything above its neck to mangled flesh, leaving the torn tissue exposed.
Flesh and vertebrae were visible at its neck. Though unsteady on its feet, the Mass-Production Evangelion still raised its scepter-like weapon.

Her first priority just now had been to stop the Mass-Production
