The attacks on the Angel by Tokyo-3 continued.
Artillery shells from all directions smashed into the Angel’s crimson body, but the massive crimson figure did not retreat even half a step, leaving only a cloud of thick smoke.
Although the headquarters’ self-defense system did not cause Him any harm, the beaten Angel of Day was obviously unwilling to let it go, whipping out the light whips located on both sides of His body towards the surrounding automatic artillery and missile arrays.
A series of deafening explosions rang out, only this time it was the defensive fortifications that were uprooted, the steel-built defense lines as fragile as building blocks thrown around by children after getting tired of playing with them.
As loud bangs echoed one after another, one massive and heavy defense module after another collapsed to the ground in succession.
Those meaningless gun muzzles and launch silos finally did not have to continue wasting taxpayers’ money.
Facing the defense system that was so easily defeated, Katsuragi Misato did not feel any surprise.
After all, even N2 mines could do nothing to the Angels, let alone these ordinary weapons.
After the battle with the Water Angel, whether it was the NERV staff or the governments of various countries providing these weapons and equipment, all recognized a cruel reality—
Conventional weapons simply could not contend against the Angels.
It was just that although everyone knew this perfectly well, these expensive weapons still had to be put into use due to the strong demands of some high-ranking figures.
These things still had to be wasted, and of course, the chief technician and the combat commander could not solve the funding problem that had been troubling them either.
“This is bad, there is no effect at all.” Aida Kensuke, holding a video camera and recording everything, frowned deeply, as if he had already seen the destroyed city.
Until, a steel lift pod popped out of the ground!
“Wow, it finally came out!” Upon seeing the giant transport device, Aida Kensuke instantly became as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood, all his previous anxiety swept away.
He tightly gripped the video camera, deeply afraid of missing any spectacular shot, his gaze locked dead onto that massive hatch door that was nearly 100 meters high.
Bang!
Bang!!
Bang!!!
Following one loud bang after another, heavy footsteps suddenly exploded like thunder behind Shamshel.
The Angel of Day’s tentacles, as flexible and agile as long whips, constantly swung back and forth; He seemed to have sensed something and became somewhat restless and uneasy. You are reading on novelping.com, the official source.
And the moment the fully enclosed transport pod opened, He felt the heavy oppressive feeling brought by the AT Field.
A.T.
Field, full name “Absolute Terror Field,” literally meaning domain of absolute terror, is what is known as the AT Field, also called the Absolute Domain.
The essence of the Absolute Domain is a phase transition space composed of soul matter, but at this time the Fifth Angel truly felt terror, simply because of the existence of the other party’s AT Field.
Humanity’s counterattack was completely different from the script in His heart; these ant-like creatures should just be crushed to death.
But now, this invisible opponent actually gave Him an illusion, as if seeing an existence equal to, or even greater than Himself.
Taking heavy steps, that purple figure walked out from behind the giant metal partition.
He simply did not need cover, seemingly the rightful arrogance of the strong when facing the weak.
Those orange-yellow eyes lit up with red light, and Unit-01 grabbed a long knife from the weapon rack, casually slashing to parry away an incoming light whip.
Unit-01 ran holding the knife, its figure vanishing from its original spot in the blink of an eye, and a peerlessly fierce slash was swung out in one smooth motion.
The Angel felt unprecedented pressure, but He did not shrink back, expanding His Absolute Domain with all His might.
In the next instant, the Angel of Day’s Absolute Domain vibrated violently, and the originally invisible and colorless barrier also revealed a clearly visible outline in a flash.
In the first collision, the Fifth Angel had already experienced that kind of powerless despair that the Water Angel had gone through back then.
“Is…
is this really…
that transfer student!?” Suzuhara Touji widened his eyes at this moment, looking at that purple figure and involuntarily muttering to himself.
That Absolute Domain capable of withstanding thousands of artillery shells and missiles was instantly torn to shreds, and the street serving as the battlefield for the two behemoths immediately shattered in the collision.
Every movement of these two behemoths was disaster-level destruction!
The Fifth Angel’s massive body was directly smashed into the ground; Their AT Fields, representing the power of gods, ultimately still saved the Angel of Day’s life.
The moment the Absolute Domain was shattered, He relied on the AT Field overlapping in front of Him to provide a layer of buffer, allowing Himself to not be dismembered with one knife, but only sent flying.
But even though He temporarily escaped a disaster, the shadow of death still followed like a shadow.
The Unit-01 in front of Him actually opened its mouth, and the sound it emitted impacted the soul; even the warm yellow light curtain in front of the Fifth Angel began to tremble slightly.
The Fifth Angel sensed danger, and the AT Field lifted His massive body directly into the air.
Accompanied by a roaring sound, people could only faintly see Unit-01 turn into a blurry afterimage, the long knife in its hand drawing a beautiful yet fatal arc in the air.
Relying on His own instincts, the Angel of Day sped towards the sky with all His might.
But that Absolute Domain was ultimately not fast enough; when the fleeting cold light flashed by, the lower half of His body was cut in half at the waist by the long knife.
As the body broke apart, a boiling hot and thick crimson liquid spewed out, as if a rain of blood was pouring down; the Angel’s blood was all high-energy life fluid.
At this time, inside the central command room located deep underground, everyone stared nervously at the slightly bloody images on the screen, and then looked at each other in dismay.
“Were no long-range heavy firepower weapons equipped?
Hmm, I remember teaching him how to shoot during the simulation training, right?
Now it seems too…
crazy.” Katsuragi Misato asked, originally wanting to say brutal.
“We did, but it has little meaning, it is just a burden to him.” Akagi Ritsuko’s tone was also somewhat helpless.
“We discussed it and are currently considering continuing to improve Unit-01’s armor, this is just some attempts to collect data along the way.”
In the Technology Department’s original design, equipping EVA with long-range conventional weapons was because EVA could use its AT Field to neutralize the Angel’s AT Field.
These weapons themselves could not cause any substantial damage to an Angel deploying an AT Field at all; the simulation training was to help Ikari Shinji master this ability.
When encountering those powerful enemies whose AT Fields are difficult to tear apart with pure violence alone, the methods of neutralizing the field learned in simulation training would be useful.
And Ikari Shinji’s “Eyes of God” surpassed almost all conventional weapons, but although he did not lack damage, they still had to improve the mech’s performance as much as possible based on existing advantages.
They couldn’t just do nothing, as that would make their Technology Department seem very useless.
Looking at Unit-01’s combat performance being pushed to the extreme by Ikari Shinji, Akagi Ritsuko couldn’t help but raise the corners of her mouth, even starting to conceive the next improvement plan.
