Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

Chapter 802: Chapter 728: The Beaten Little Shui Chapter 802: Chapter 728: The Beaten Little Shui “Unexpected yet reasonable…” Tao Yu felt the tenacious and overpowering soul within Unit-01 and sighed in his heart.

Yui Ikari being devoured by Unit-01 could be said to be an extremely important link that began the entire plot chapter.

It was her being swallowed that influenced the changes in many key characters such as Gendo Ikari, Kozo Fuyutsuki, and Shinji Ikari, among others.

The rampage of Unit-01 from the Angel of Water to the Angel of Strength was mostly due to Yui Ikari’s involvement.

To consider Unit-01 directly as Shinji Ikari’s protector would not be an overstatement; this was, after all, a mother’s shelter.

If you can’t beat them, have someone else step in.

And Unit-01 was made directly from the body of Lilith.

This was the story of a child who lost a fight, sought his parent’s help, and the parent who stepped in without discussing martial ethics.

Therefore, being able to feel Yui Ikari’s soul didn’t surprise Tao Yu at all.

However…

“Has the consciousness been lost, leaving only the instincts behind?

It seems likely, as mortal souls controlling the body of a god, retaining instincts alone is quite good…”

Tao Yu could feel the spirituality within Unit-01 was extremely powerful, and the purity and high quality of it even took the well-informed Tao Yu by surprise!

Unit-01 was made from a part cut directly from the body of Lilith and was essentially superior to all other EVAs.

“So, Unit-01 is only missing the S2 Engine, and then it would have the potential to become a god…”

Originally, he just wanted to blow up the Angel Envoy, pick up skills, and then see if there was a chance to salvage Lilith, Adam, and the Spear of Longinus.

But now, Tao Yu suddenly had some interest in the “Dead Sea Scrolls.”

Perhaps, the “Dead Sea Scrolls” of this world might have something different…

Tao Yu felt the silent soul of Yui Ikari, but the staff in the combat operations room was busy scurrying about.

“What’s going on?

Why is the synchronization rate not displaying?”

“Is it zero?

That shouldn’t be.”

“He has only passed the initial selection; indeed, he has not officially piloted before, I’m afraid it’s the same issue as before.”

“It’s all over, at a time like this…”

While others were in disarray, Ritsuko Akagi remained very calm, also stepping up to the keyboard, beginning to enter some commands, and using her clearance to find out the reason from the artificial intelligence MAGI.

“Synchronization rate unclear?

What’s going on here…”

Ritsuko looked up, this situation had never occurred in previous tests!

Surely, there was a problem with this child…

However, while Ritsuko was pondering, the monitoring device for the pilot inside the cockpit caught a glimpse of Tao Yu seemingly smiling and moving his lips, but his voice couldn’t be heard.

It seemed as if he was talking to himself or as if he was speaking to some unseen being.

Ritsuko, trying to read his lips, could barely make out something like ‘Ma’am, you don’t want to…’ Well, that might be a misreading.

But in the next moment, all instruments suddenly returned to normal.

The synchronization rate surged from zero, shooting straight to one hundred percent!

“One hundred percent?!”

This sudden spike startled Ritsuko to her feet.

Such a quick change!

Even though Unit-01 had experienced a 400% synchronization rate, this 100% perfect match was still beyond Ritsuko’s expectations and was as surprising as the previous zero reading.

“EVA Unit-01 pilot, Minato Namikaze, requesting to launch.”

Tao Yu stated it very formally, as mecha pilots usually would.

“A high synchronization rate is good; as long as there’s no problem, continue!”

Ritsuko suppressed her doubts, as there was no time to think more at this moment.

She then decisively gave the order, and the subsequent steps were quickly initiated.

Technicians in the combat operations room hurriedly turned back to their screens, nervously carrying out drills they had practiced many times.

“Synchronization rate at 100%.”

“Harmony rate within normal values, no sign of going out of control.”

“Prepare for launch.”

“First lock is released.”

“…”

With each lock spiraling away from Unit-01, and as the metallic supports next to it retracted, Unit-01 began to slowly move to the launch shaft…

“Internal power supply fully charged.”

“External power plug without anomalies.”

“EVA Unit-01 has cleared its direct path to the launch exit, no obstructions whatsoever.”

“Launch!”

Whoosh~

With the electromagnetic force applied on the track, Unit-01 shot out like a cannon, sparks and lightning accompanying its surge through the tunnel toward the surface.

Crack~

A designated exit popped open from the ground, and the massive body of Unit-01 emerged in response.

On the screen before Tao Yu, he could perfectly see the not yet fully recovered Angel of Water!

The EVA had many launch routes; clearly, the closest one had been chosen.

“This is actually the true external armor, or even an external avatar…”

Tao Yu felt completely integrated and in sync with Unit-01, every move of the mech following his own thoughts.

Meanwhile, the cracks on the surface of the Angel of Water had almost completely healed.

It was now tilting its head as it looked toward Unit-01.

Target confirmed, an enemy that must be killed.

Whoosh~

The AT Field burst forth in a cross shape instantaneously, and Tao Yu just calmly watched.

An AT Field sprang up in front of Unit-01, a golden, diamond-shaped field unfolding in an instant.

It easily blocked the attack!

The powerful AT Field even lifted the broken stones from the ground into the air and instantaneously disintegrated a nearby turret.

Alarms in the control room never ceased!

“Super-strong AT Field detected, it’s coming from Unit-01!”

“AT Field is neutralizing; Unit-01 is neutralizing the Angel’s field!”

Unit-01 had just appeared, despite the distance being so great.

Yet Unit-01 had started to imitate the Angel’s remote attack method, initiating a wholly different variation of the AT Field change!

This was something that had never occurred in all previous tests!

Neither had NERV in Europe witnessed such an event with their EVAs.

Normally, EVAs had to be at close range to neutralize the AT Fields!

But clearly, with the Essence of Fist Intent and the Talent that was far less restrained than in other cases, Unit-01, fully used as an external avatar, could also combine with the willpower of Tao Yu.

The AT Field, initially a barrier of the mind, now infused with Fist Intention, seemed even more radiant and even revealed a hint of divinity with its golden hue!

Tao Yu slightly raised his finger, looking at the Angel of Water before him, his perspective completely synchronized with that of Unit-01.

“No matter the version, the little Water Angel is always the first to get hit.

This time, you won’t have to face the berserk Unit-01.

Be thankful…”

The tip of his finger shimmered with gold, and the next moment, a dazzling cross pierced through all the defenses of the Angel of Water!

A diamond-shaped AT Field flashed in front of it, but it held a distinct ‘misalignment’, utterly ineffective before being penetrated!

As a result, the golden-white, blinding cross manifested directly on the Angel of Water’s body.

As if a cross had ‘grown’ out from inside the Angel of Water’s body, it was entirely pinned upon it.

In everyone’s ears, they seemed to faintly hear a holy hymn…

“What…

what is this…”

Ritsuko Akagi stood up, hands bracing the console, her eyes filled with astonishment.

“Are the Angels truly here to bring about the end of the world?”

Misato Katsuragi, though not as knowledgeable as Ritsuko Akagi, also felt bewildered at the moment.

Even having witnessed the Second Impact firsthand, she still found the scene before her a bit too far-fetched.

Everyone else at the scene was equally caught off guard.

Astonishment?

Perhaps, but with such a sudden turn of events, confusion and bewilderment were more prevalent, leaving people at a loss, unsure of what had just happened.

Even Gendo Ikari in the command center, always so composed, almost lost his composure and stood up.

He forced his hands crossed, hiding his face of disbelief, his glasses reflecting light to obscure the shocked look in his eyes.

Is this Unit-01?

It’s not at all on the same level as any other EVA we’ve tested!

This is Unit-01, created from the body of Lilith!

The Unit-01 with only Yui Ikari’s soul!

An EVA that belongs to the category of Divine Spirits!

Indeed, his plan was feasible, as long as Unit-01 was involved, victory was assured…

“We’ve won, Fuyutsuki…

“We’ve won this war…”
