The Collection of The End

—2016.1.11—

The third new Tokyo city underground, EVA started the test command post.

"If the startup is successful, we will have four EVAs, and destroying the world will not be a problem." Katsuragi Misato said.

"What? Do you want to destroy the world?" Ritsuko Akagi looked at her.

"It's a world where men care, why don't you destroy it?" Misato Katsuragi looked at Shinji Ikari: "You think so?"

"Indeed." Ikari Shinji replied casually.

Through the direct dialogue between his parents on New Year's Day, he had a little bit of understanding of the emotional gossip of the previous generation.

Logically speaking, if everything is normal between the husband and wife, even if there is an extra child who is secretly cared for, they will not file for divorce immediately, but the bad thing is the bad thing. Ikariyuantang really has a confidante—the one in another world. "Naoko Akagi" who wants to kill.

Referring to the age difference between her daughter Ritsuko Akagi and herself, Naoko Akagi should be a senior sister several years older than her father, so Ayanami called her "old woman".

Logically speaking, a mother should not regard a person with a daughter as a rival in love, but considering that Ritsuko Akagi never mentioned her father, the family relationship here does not seem to be very good, tsk tsk...

Emotional issues aside, the exchange of opinions between the parents in other aspects went smoothly. Commander Ikari didn't come to participate in the start-up experiment of Unit 3 today to confirm some of the information his mother passed on to him and to prepare some countermeasures.

False Earth Alliance Spy: Blessing Ryoji.

The real Earth Alliance spy: Ikari Yui.

The information sent in a legitimate and reasonable way can stand up to scrutiny, and has been approved by the local council and allowed to be sent.

Forget the previous generation, this generation is not very good, just look at Kaji Ryoji, Katsuragi Misato and Akagi Ritsuko.

It's not wrong to say that men are obsessed.

"Huh?" Katsuragi Misato's eyes that were about to be withdrawn were fixed on his face: "I can talk nonsense, but you can't, Shinji-kun, the pilot of the first EVA machine."

What state officials set fire to...

Ikari Shinji looked at her with contempt for two seconds, and suddenly reacted: "Wait, I didn't admit that I was bothered!"

"Is that the focus of your attention?" Katsuragi Miri raised her forehead: "Forget it, when I didn't ask, I'm too lazy to care about your young people."

"Sister Misato is still very young~" Ikari Shinji quickly replied.

"Huh?" Akagi Ritsuko looked over.

"Sister Ritsuko is also very young~"

"Go, go," Katsuragi Miri waved and chased away: "Either stand aside and watch, or go and prepare to start the first machine, although I don't think it is necessary."

"Hmm..." Ikari Shinji looked at the configuration diagram on the big screen.

The start-up experiment of Unit 3 was arranged in the underground cavity of No. 3 New Tokyo City, but it was not in the preparation yard, but a relatively empty outdoor training ground. The main purpose was to prevent Unit 3 from running away like Unit 1. After all, if Machine Zero had used a little more effort, Ikari Shinji would have become a child of a single-parent family.

No. 0 and No. 2 are also on standby outside the preparation yard, ready to quickly enter the field to support in the event of an accident.

In this regard, Ikari Shinji is very relieved, unless the number 0 machine is playing a fake match, otherwise the number 3 machine will not be able to turn the tide.

"Real name? How do you feel?" Misato Katsuragi spoke to Kirishima's real name who had already entered the plug.

"[I, I feel okay,]" Kirishima's real name in a blue combat uniform replied: "[It just feels different from the simulation device... not the same.]"

"Don't be nervous, it's just the difference between the mock test and the official test." Katsuragi Miri replied.

"[Okay, okay, I got it.]"

She was more nervous visibly, so if you can't comfort her, don't comfort her.

Soon, the start-up experiment officially began.

"The insertion bolt is fixed!"

"Start the first phase of connection!"

"Send nerve impulses!"

"The image position is OK!"

"All 1350 projects passed!"

"Start the second phase connection!"

"Coming soon-"

Om-! Om-! Woo-! Woo-!

The command hall suddenly turned on the red alarm light, and a large number of data and signal lights on the big screen also turned red at the same time, and the No. 3 machine, which had not yet reached the start-up stage, began to struggle hard, trying to break free from the restraint.

The screen that originally displayed the internal situation of Unit 3 was also directly interrupted.

A familiar scene...

"Turn off the power! Pop the plug!" Misato Katsuragi issued the same order as Shinji Ikari had in the previous vision.

"Power cut! But the eject command failed! The insertion plug was held in the No. 3 body by some kind of secretion!"

"What! What happened to the driver?"

"And breathing and heartbeat! But the brainwaves are messed up and there is no answer to our calls!"

"[Aaaaaaa!]" No. 3 raised its neck and roared.

"Suppress fire!"

Da-da-da-boom-boom-!

Around the start-up test site, hidden artillery turrets and missile launchers appeared one after another, pouring mostly useless conventional firepower on the No. 3 aircraft.

Unsurprisingly, the attacks were all blocked by a sudden orange-yellow barrier.

"The AT force field appears! Confirmed as an apostle!"

"impossible!"

It is indeed a bit outrageous. After all, their prototypes had an accident once when they were manufactured. It is completely impossible to say that the technical department has not been vigilant, but it was still eroded by the apostles.

Could it be said that "man-made" apostles are okay, but "reformed" apostles are not? You already have self-awareness, no matter how you erase and transform it, you can't really use it for your own use?

"The No. 3 machine started the experiment and changed it to the 'Thirteenth Apostle' annihilation operation!" Katsuragi Miri was shocked, but did not delay in issuing the order: "Zero, Asuka! Priority is given to suppressing the No. 3 machine and rescuing the pilot! If the situation does not allow it , can destroy the third machine!"

"【Yes.】"

"【receive!】"

Phew—the next instant, a duel appeared on Ikari Shinji's forearm, but this time, two "monsters" of his own were already floating in front of him.

[Angel 07, Attack Power: 2500, Defense Power: 1500]

[Demon Summoning, Attack Power: 2500, Defense Power: 1200]

Ah this...

Ikari Shinji looked at the ghost of the monster in front of him, and then looked at the No. 0 and No. 2 machines in battle on the big screen. Who is the angel and who is the devil?

Although there is no difference in attack power, it is a matter of attitude.

So choose C for this question.

After Ikari Shinji finished pretending to be stupid, he tried to order the monsters to attack, but it seemed that the angels and demons didn't move because they didn't stay in the plug, or because the enemy was also an EVA.

Forget it, that's it, the attack power is so high, and the opponent is just an ordinary EVA, can you still lose in two-on-one? I do not believe.

"Unit 3 starts to move towards the headquarters! Prepare to suppress!"

bang- bang-

After roaring on the spot for a while, the No. 3 machine began to stagger forward. Since its target was indeed the headquarters, the picture on the big screen seemed oppressive.

"The good news is that this is an internal secret experiment that the Earth Alliance doesn't know about," Kaji Ryoji laughed. "The bad news is that if we can't figure it out, there's no N2 bomb to use to restrain it."

Do you, a spy of the Earth Alliance, have the right to say such a thing?

Ikari Shinji glanced at him, and when he turned his eyes back to himself, he found that the "opponent" had already erected a magic card.

【Fantasy Ritual】

what?

At this moment, it seemed that there was a pineapple-like creature with eyes all over his body flashing across the opponent's field. Immediately afterwards, an ugly monster with a green body and white stripes appeared. It floated in the air. It has no feet, a round body, two sturdy arms, a pair of insect-like wings behind it, and a huge eyeball on its head.

[The Demon of Nasa, Attack Power: 0, Defense Power: 0]

Heck, this kind of attack and defense only means one thing, its effect is ridiculously strong.

In the next second, the eyeballs of the "Demon of Nazai" sent out a light wave of yellowish yellow, covering the "Demon Summon", and then the "Demon Summon" walked to the "Demon of Nazai" like a puppet, then turned around and used the Blood-red eyes looked at "Angel 07".

At the same time, the effect of the "Devil of Nasa" appeared.

[Once per turn, equip an enemy monster as an equipment card to yourself, and increase ATK and DEF by the same amount. 】

[When a battle occurs, the enemy always bears the damage of the battle. 】

[When the Demon of Nazai is destroyed by battle, the equipped monster will be destroyed instead. 】

Immediately afterwards, "Demon Summoning" launched an attack on "Angel 07" without hesitation. Both of them turned into golden fragments and disappeared, while "Devil of Nasa" was still intact.

"what?!"

While Ikari Shinji was surprised, Katsuragi Misato also exclaimed.

When he looked up subconsciously, he happened to see the arm of the No. 3 machine suddenly stretched out, grabbed the No. 0 machine that had launched a surprise attack on it, and smashed the No. 2 machine with his backhand.

The two EVAs were not seriously damaged, but they struggled several times after landing, but still could not get up.

"Unit 0 and Unit 2 are eroded by unknown! Complete silence! The insertion bolt has been ejected urgently!"

"Unit 3, no, the thirteenth apostle is continuing to approach the fortress!"

Don't play fake games!

"Damn it!" Ikari Shinji didn't wait for Katsuragi Misato to look over, and rushed towards the preparation ground of the first machine.

This time, as long as three EVAs attacked together, they should have already settled the sacrificial demons by now. The attack power is 0, and they will only borrow the scum of others' power.

—

"[The first machine has been started!]"

"[Attack!]"

Uh-huh?

Have I already won?

Ikari Shinji commanded the first machine to rush to the battlefield while looking at the cards in his hand. Since the fighting state was never over, he drew a total of five cards during this period.

【Electric Man】【Wingman】【Hot Girl】【Fusion】【Favorite Hero】

[Curry Kuri...] Winged Chestnut Ball rests his chin with his small paws in a thought-like manner.

Is this still worth thinking about? First summon the "Electric Man" to trick the opponent into using the absorbing skill, hit him, then merge and summon the "Flame Wing Man", equip the "Favorite Hero", launch the "Skyscraper", attack and destroy the "Electric Man" that was drawn away, and then Activate the "Favorite Hero" effect, and destroy the Nazai Demon with the second attack, which is perfect - that is, Electric Light Man has to suffer a little grievance.

"[Shinji! Be careful, the thirteenth apostle has some kind of erosion ability, and the first and second units still cannot be activated after emergency repairs!]" Katsuragi Misato sent a contact.

"I'll pay attention!" Ikari Shinji rushed to Unit 3, which was already very close to the headquarters.

In short, don't attack the body near the insertion bolt, the legs, feet and arms can be detached - anyway, that's how it was when it was made.

Come out, Electro-Light—

"[Shinji... classmate...?]"

Just when Ikari Shinji was about to start, the communication inside the EVA lighted up, and the window of "EVA-03" showed the real name of Kirishima, who was full of blue veins and could not open one eye.

"You're crazy! Cut off the connection with the body! The synchronization rate is so high, when the EVA is corroded, you will also be injured simultaneously!" Ikari Shinji temporarily put down the cards in his hand.

No. 1 and No. 3 were facing each other at a distance, and neither of them moved.

"[I can... affect it...]" Kirishima's true name grabbed the joystick: "[Please... while now... destroy it...]"

"You're likely to die!"

"[I...know...]" Kirishima's true name gradually lowered his voice: "[I... can't do anything... always trouble... Shinji-san... and everyone... at least for now...]"

"[Shinji-kun?]" Katsuragi Miri's communication inserted: "[No. 3 machine is not moving, take advantage of it now, I believe her real name can survive.]"

"No, Miss Misato," Shinji Ikari said in a deep voice, looking at Kirishima's struggling expression, "You can call me macho, but I can't sacrifice an innocent girl to defeat the thirteenth apostle. of."

"[If you have another way, I won't stop you,]" Katsuragi Miri's tone suddenly relaxed a little: "[It's a big deal that we all die together, right?]"

"[Don't, I still have a lot of places I want to go with you.]" The voice of blessing came faintly.

"[Killing...I...it's all...my fault...]" Kirishima's real name began to murmur.

Hey... I didn't lie to the past... The time and space crack thing.

If you think about it, she is a fool who thinks she can be chosen to be a spy as a foolish girl.

"Kirishima, no, real name," Ikari Shinji slightly amplified his voice: "Do you believe me?"

"[Believe...believe...but...]" Kirishima's true name's voice was barely audible.

"You don't have to believe in yourself, but please believe in me who believes in you," Ikari Shinji said: "Now, give up the intention to stop the movement of the third machine, and have a good sleep, when you wake up, I will definitely appear. by your bed."

"[That's...that's...good...]" Kirishima's true name's voice disappeared.

"[Aaaaaaa!]" Unit 3 roared again and charged towards Unit 1.

Almost at the same time, the illusion in front of Ikari Shinji also changed.

On one's own field, a "black magician girl" with empty eyes appeared out of thin air. The moment she appeared, she was sucked into the huge sphere that made up her body by the "Najima", increasing its attack power to 2000.

Immediately afterwards, a magic card rose, and several bright beams of light appeared beside Najimo, like a cage for black magician girls, and like a shield to protect Najimo.

[Ritual Threshold: Ritual monsters on the field are not affected by effects, nor will they be destroyed by effects, and damage to allies during battle becomes 0]

That's good...Is it necessary to win without letting the "Dark Magician Girl" destroy the "Dark Magician" because of its own destruction?

Ikari Shinji glanced at his deck.

After so many battles, he has basically determined the effect of "no shuffling". His deck seems to allow him to draw cards that are enough to solve the current enemy and win according to the current situation. It looks stupid when you see new monsters.

To solve the situation at this time, more than one card must be needed, so the next card should be...

After Ikari Shinji commanded the first machine to escape the attack of the third machine-although the AT force field still fell, he raised his hand to draw a card.

[Loading: Discard all cards in the hand and draw the same number of cards. 】

Five for five? Come on then.

[New Universe: The elemental hero Xinyuxia and the fusion monsters that use it as a material increase the attack power by 500. 】

[New Astros: Bright Moss: Attack Power: 300, Defense Power: 900]

[Elemental Hero Xinyuxia: Attack Power: 2500, Defense Power: 2000]

[Death Meteor: Causes 1000 damage to the enemy player's HP, and cannot be activated when the opponent's HP is below 3000. 】

【Xinyu Fusion】

And the monster to be merged is—

[Elemental Hero: Shining Yuxia: Attack Power: 2500, Defense Power: 2000, once per turn, destroy a monster, magic or trap card on the opponent's field, and when destroying a magic card, you can directly attack the enemy player. 】

While fighting with the No. 3 machine, Ikari Shinji could clearly see the twisted and weird shadow behind the "Naji Demon" in the colorful "New Universe" that had just unfolded.

The No. 3 machine is our hard work, its real name is our partner, and we will not give up any of them!

The "Death Meteor" fell from the sky and hit the shadow with precision, and then the "Glorious Xinyuxia" who had just removed the "ceremonial threshold" with his bare hands punched it.

"【get out of my world!】"
