In fact, all countries had already decided to hand over the Angels to NERV for resolution, but the United Nations generals, in order to prove the power of humanity, were still constantly trying to stop the Angel’s advance.
But just as Ikari Gendou said, they could only realize their powerlessness, and everything they did was in vain.
Until the final trump card N2 mine erupted with sky-high flames, even changing the topography and landforms because of it, but failed to kill the Angel wearing a halo like an angel, they finally began to panic.
“How is it possible?”
“Damn monster!”
In the sea of fire, the injuries suffered by the Angel were all superficial, and were healing at an extremely fast speed.
Even under the black body originally wrapped in a white mask, a brand new white skeletal mask grew out, and a second head squeezed out from under the first head just like that.
And the strange organs located on both sides of His thighs constantly opened and closed, as if breathing like fish gills, and the wounds on His body continuously swelled with red sarcomas.
This terrifying image was more like a demon than an angel, and it made everyone even more afraid of the creature in front of them called an “Angel”, which possessed the power of a god.
“The Fourth Angel, what amazing recovery power.” Fuyutsuki Kouzou sighed.
“This is a creature that has completed independent evolution, these are all a matter of course.” Ikari Gendou said coldly.
“Creatures that have eaten the Fruit of Life and grasped the power of a god.” Fuyutsuki Kouzou sighed softly.
“Compared to us who are defective as incomplete individuals, They are the complete life.”
Ikari Gendou stared expressionlessly at the screen, the huge and hideous figure in the picture was taking heavy steps, firmly approaching Tokyo-3.
The expression on his face showed no emotional fluctuations, as if the anger of the generals and the survival of humanity had nothing to do with him.
However, in fact, the NERV headquarters where the combat command room was located was precisely situated deep underground in Tokyo-3, in the direction of the Angel’s advance.
This meant that if the Fourth Angel was allowed to continue advancing, he, the Commander-in-Chief of NERV, would most likely be buried with this base.
But he was indeed very calm, at least on the surface, and as for the thoughts in his heart, no one could ever know.
Not long after, the resentful anger of the generals finally subsided temporarily, and they called this NERV Commander-in-Chief, who had never had much presence, in front of them.
“Now the command of this operation is officially handed over to you, you have a way to deal with the target, right, Commander Ikari?”
“NERV was established precisely for this.” Ikari Gendou pushed his glasses.
…
NERV Headquarters Technology Development Department technician Akagi Ritsuko was currently wearing a diving suit and coming ashore from the red antifreeze coolant.
She watched the staff debugging the giant mech in the coolant and installing weapons on the rack, but there was no one in the empty cockpit.
Akagi Ritsuko said helplessly: “Why hasn’t the Third Child arrived yet?
Is Misato late again?
I really give up on her!”
At this moment, an electronic female voice came from the loudspeaker: [Doctor Akagi, please note, Section 1 Operations Lieutenant Colonel Katsuragi and another personnel have arrived at the S-36 elevator shaft.]
“Finally here.”
At this time in the S-36 elevator shaft, Katsuragi Misato had just pulled Ikari Shinji into the elevator.
The two of them were wandering around in the underground facilities of Tokyo-3.
The underground mobile vehicles here are very fast, and logically speaking, they shouldn’t be late.
But the key is that Katsuragi Misato got lost.
Ikari Shinji didn’t know if Katsuragi Misato had to look at a map every day when she went to work.
After all, looking at her, she was already very used to being late.
Katsuragi Misato turned her head and glanced at Ikari Shinji.
The boy’s facial features were like the most expressive strokes in an ink painting, his eyes would bend into a gentle arc when he smiled, and when his eyebrows drooped, it seemed as if they could catch all the afternoon light.
Seeing her father’s shadow in Ikari Shinji back then was probably an illusion, because this is just a beautiful boy.
After a moment of silence, Katsuragi Misato decided to take the initiative to find some topics:
“Do you know why the Commander-in-Chief, that is your father Mr.
Ikari Gendou, asked you to come to NERV?”
“It should be to save the world, I heard from the teacher that his work is related to this.” Ikari Shinji replied casually.
Katsuragi Misato was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond.
Ikari Shinji was right, they were going to save the world.
Her gaze fell on Ikari Shinji’s profile, and sure enough, no matter how she looked at it, he was still a boy.
Pushing a child onto the battlefield for something that a group of adults could not solve.
Just because he is the Commander’s son, as if everything is to be expected.
But they seemed to have forgotten, no one had ever asked Ikari Shinji for his personal opinion.
“I thought you didn’t really like Commander Ikari.” Katsuragi Misato started to feel some pity for the boy in front of her.
“I really don’t like him, I can even say I hate him.
I haven’t enjoyed the privileges of being the Commander’s son at all, but he thinks of me when something happens.” Ikari Shinji said.
“Actually, this matter is not only related to Commander Ikari, but also related to the survival of all humanity.” Katsuragi Misato looked at him somewhat awkwardly.
“I understand, otherwise I wouldn’t have come, this is my obligation, how could a god not love the people of the world?”
Ikari Shinji revealed a gentle and warm smile, responding softly.
Katsuragi Misato couldn’t help but feel surprised, staring at the boy beside her with interest: “Do you think you are a god?”
The arrogance of calling oneself a god completely lacked this feeling when spoken from Ikari Shinji’s mouth.
“Not yet, but I am working hard.” Ikari Shinji tilted his head and blinked playfully.
“I see, is it chuunibyou?
Could it be a psychological problem caused by the Commander’s long-term neglect?”
Katsuragi Misato nodded thoughtfully, her eyes looking at Ikari Shinji even more full of love and pity.
Although she didn’t have children, she seemed to feel the power called maternal love.
Living in a fantasy world, isn’t that just escaping reality?
Pity such a well-behaved and cute child.
Just as Katsuragi Misato was fiercely scolding Ikari Gendou in her heart for being an irresponsible father, the elevator doors opened.
Entering the field of vision was a woman wearing a white lab coat work uniform.
She had short blonde hair, her hands in her pockets, and a calm expression with a faint smile.
“Since no one showed up after a long time, I came over to take a look.
Lieutenant Colonel Katsuragi, you are fully twelve minutes late, don’t tell me you got lost again?”
“Oh my, sorry, Ritsuko.” Katsuragi Misato hid the map she got halfway behind her back.
Akagi Ritsuko stared at her and could only sigh helplessly, apparently used to it.
“So, is he that boy?” Akagi Ritsuko turned her head to look at Ikari Shinji.
Ikari Shinji, who was looking at the NERV introduction manual, also raised his head, and the two just locked eyes like that.
“He is unexpectedly…
quite different from the photo.”
