The Water Angel smashed eva unit-01, treating it like a tattered sandbag, repeatedly slamming it into the surrounding buildings!
Reinforced concrete buildings were as fragile as cookies before it.
"Crack—!"
With a sickening crunch, eva unit-01's left wrist was snapped, bending at a grotesque angle!
"Aah aah aah aah aah—!!!"
The intense pain of the broken arm, transmitted through Mental Synchronization, struck deep into Shinji Ikari's soul without the slightest attenuation!
He clutched his bulging, veined arm and let out a bloodcurdling shriek that sounded inhuman, his entire face contorted.
But the Water Angel's attack did not pause; it pinned the defenseless eva unit-01 firmly to the ground and slowly raised its right arm.
At the end of its arm, flesh writhed, and a Spear of Light, composed of highly concentrated energy and gleaming with an ominous crimson hue, suddenly shot out!
"Dodge! Hurry and dodge, Shinji!" Misato shrieked hysterically.
However, Shinji Ikari's brain was already blanked by pain and terror, his body rigid and unresponsive, leaving him only able to watch the Spear of Death grow larger in his vision!
Clang! Clank! Clang—!
eva unit-01's head armor groaned under the tip of the Spear of Light, overwhelmed, as pieces of armor were peeled away and shattered.
Finally.
"Pshhh—!"
The Spear of Light, capable of piercing anything, flawlessly and without suspense, penetrated the head of eva unit-01!
The tip of the spear brutally stabbed through the massive left eye socket, shredding all the precision instruments and bio-structures inside, and pierced out through the back of the head!
The massive force caused the entire cockpit to shake violently and chaotically!
"Aah aah aah aah aah aah—!"
The unimaginable agony felt as if his eyeballs and brain were being brutally stabbed, mashed, and completely pulverized by a red-hot iron rod!
Shinji let out a desperate scream, his vision suddenly went black, and all sensory connections were extinguished at that moment.
In the main control room, all data representing the Mental Synchronization between the pilot and the EVA unit instantly dropped to zero amidst a piercing buzz.
"eva unit-01, activity stopped!"
"Pilot life signal lost! A10 Nerve Connection severed! Pulse flow reversal! Unable to eject the entry plug!"
Maya Ibuki's desperate report sounded like a death knell, shattering the last shred of hope for everyone in the command center.
"How could... this happen..." Misato Katsuragi slumped blankly in the commander's chair, her eyes vacant, as if her soul had been drained away.
High upon the platform, a faint, cold gleam flashed across Gendo Ikari's orange lenses, and the corner of his mouth lifted slightly.
Although there was a small interlude in the process... everything was still within his plan... Above ground.
The Water Angel completed its slaughter and slowly withdrew its Spear of Light.
Everything seemed settled.
eva unit-01, kneeling on the ground like a statue, suddenly moved... inside the bloody socket of its right eye, which was spraying red LCL fluid.
Deep within the bloody hole, crimson flesh and tissue began to writhe, multiply, and intertwine at a visible speed!
Nerves, blood vessels, lens... A brand new eyeball, flashing with savage, tyrannical scarlet light, was completely reconstructed in just a few seconds!
Not only that, but the fractured left wrist joint was also reset in the blink of an eye due to the super-speed regeneration of bone, tendon, and blood vessels!
The next moment!
"Roar—!!!"
A primeval roar, unlike anything human, as if crossing hundreds of millions of years, suddenly erupted from the deepest part of eva unit-01's throat!
The sound wave transformed into a visible, tangible Impact, sweeping across the area!
The earth cracked, and the distant clouds suddenly vanished!
...Deep within eva unit-01's core, in the Negative Universe belonging to the soul.
Yui Ikari, radiating a holy, maternal glow, was suspended there in the form of a soul.
Her holy body, composed of pure soul energy, was flawless, with graceful curves.
A pair of glowing, jade-like feet hovered gently, inspiring no thought of blasphemy.
At this moment, Yui Ikari's exquisite face was filled with heartache and determination.
[My Lord, Shinji... I leave the rest to you.]
She lowered her head devoutly, offering the highest authority over this body without reservation.
In an instant, a boundless, brilliant Golden Divine Light, like the first ray of light at the dawn of the universe, illuminated this eternal void!
Hansen's will descended.
He appeared behind Yui Ikari like a gentle yet boundless platinum-gold sun.
From behind, he gently embraced her pure soul body with light.
The light permeated, and the souls overlapped.
Yui Ikari's body trembled violently; a sense of fulfillment and security from being completely filled by supreme power made her feel as if she might melt in this sacred union.
She could clearly feel that the Great Will she worshipped was taking control of eva unit-01's massive body through her soul.
In an instant, Hansen's perspective changed.
He saw the blood-soaked scarlet world through eva unit-01's eyes and felt the surging, violent power within the massive body.
Every inch of armor, every circuit, every muscle fiber... felt like his innate limbs, controllable at will.
This feeling was novel and interesting, as if his favorite childhood figure had truly come alive and became a part of him.
Just then, a system prompt sounded in his mind.
[Ding! Detectable target for replication: "EVA eva unit-01"]
[Ability 1: "AT Field (SSR)": The Wall of the Heart that separates the individual from others, also known as the Absolute Territory. It is a phase space and special force field formed by the materialization of soul substance, commonly used for attack (high-energy lasers, directional Impact, etc.), defense (force field barrier, core containment, etc.), function amplification, jumping, or flying. It can be mimicked into limbs or weapons according to the user's needs, can be neutralized by the AT Field of other individuals, or penetrated by strikes exceeding its capacity limit.]
[Ability 2: "angel core (SSR)": EVA eva unit-01 was cultivated from the bodily tissues of 'Adam' broken down by humans. The angel core is hidden beneath the chest armor and restraints; it is the materialization of the Fruit of Life, possessing nearly infinite energy and super-high-speed regeneration capability, allowing the unit to continue operating based on the pilot's will even after losing external power.]
[Ability 3: "Berserk (SSR)": Uses the infinite energy of the angel core to drive the unit, unlocking eva unit-01's hidden functions, displaying beast-like combat instinct, extraordinary agility and strength, and the ability to tear apart an Angel's AT Field barehanded.]
[Ability 4 (Unlocks): "Awakening (UR)": Unlocks after completing the Fruit of Life and the Fruit of Knowledge, becoming an existence close to God, capable of actively opening the "Gate of Gaff," deploying a global AT Field, triggering an Impact, or fundamentally rewriting the world and creating a new world line at the cost of one's own existence.]
