Chapter 803: Chapter 729: Control?
“Awesome, this thing is powerful, but too bad, if carried to other worlds, there would definitely be some reverse suppression.”
Tao Yu, after unleashing Unit-01, felt a sense of joy both physically and mentally.
No one can resist piloting giant robots, actually, when Tao Yu first saw the one in Pacific Rim, he wanted to give it a try.
Now he had played with something even more thrilling.
Entering this world, there had always been suppression, which he wasn’t quite used to.
Now, he could finally enjoy a bit of relief.
However, Tao Yu quickly sensed something was amiss, wait, why was Yuan Force gathering towards Unit-01?
Rushing forward, Tao Yu, somewhat speechlessly, saw the abundant Yuan Force gathering on the remnants of the Water Angel and being absorbed by Unit-01!
“What the hell!
Didn’t I kill this?”
Is Unit-01 the Chosen One?
What kind of monster is this?
But recalling Yui Ikari’s spirit, Tao Yu felt this was probably normal, given that it was something with the potential to become a God.
Considering everything, EVA treating Unit-01 as the protagonist wasn’t excessive, Shinji Ikari was just a trigger accessory.
“How should I handle this?
There’s more than one Angel Envoy, wasting one isn’t a pity, but I need to find a way to get the killing blow…”
Tao Yu looked at the screen in front of him, the Water Angel’s enormous corpse lying limp like a deflated blue whale, blood drenching the ground.
“Damn, the Angel Envoy is so large, control EVA to cripple it first, then jump out to get the killing blow?”
Since EVA is fully controlled through Perception, Tao Yu also had a judgment of the previous AT Field strength.
As he had estimated, under the World Will’s suppression, his full-powered attack would slightly penetrate the Water Angel’s AT Field, inflicting damage but hardly a fatal wound.
He really had to rely on Unit-01 to disable the Angel Envoy first, then slowly finish it off himself.
And the idea of disengaging during battle to finish the fight himself seemed a bit off, and not convenient.
“If it’s off, it’s off, Unit-01 absorbing Yuan Force like this is too wasteful, if I want Yuan Force I could go next door and kill the Cockroach People, this kind of high-quality prey should be exchanged for Skill items and Yuan Force objects to make it worth it…”
Tao Yu had already made up his mind; he shouldn’t let any Angel Envoy pass by in the future!
Even if he couldn’t use so much himself, he could try selling it…
He might even be able to exchange it for the Heart of the World!
“Before, I didn’t have a means to obtain the Heart of the World, but the Suns definitely do, if quality isn’t enough, quantity will do, there must be plenty of Hearts of the World from ordinary worlds, and maybe there are other channels too…”
Just as Tao Yu had set his goals, Misato’s voice came from the cockpit,
“Takigakure, are you okay?
The target has lost signs of Life, you can return now.”
The scene where Unit-01 made the Angel Envoy disappear in a snap was truly terrifying!
They believed EVA could withstand the Angel Envoy, but shouldn’t it be this easy?
All that Dead Sea Scrolls prophesying the end of the world, no more fear!
Thinking back to how the UN forces were completely crushed by the Angel Envoy, N2 mines proving useless, and now they couldn’t withstand a single strike from Unit-01, it truly felt like a dream.
“Received.”
Tao Yu thought about it, but he didn’t plan to just run off with Unit-01 immediately.
A moment ago, he even thought about turning back, blasting open the 24-layer deck with a cross, then jumping down himself, but he restrained himself in the end.
“Wait a bit, since Misato saw a Titan, then the first Angel Envoy is Adam, and Adam’s embryo is currently in Europe, soon to be escorted here by Asuka piloting Unit-02.
That’s something I can get my hands on first…”
The embryo of Adam was something that could be transferred to Gendo Ikari’s hands, compared to the Angel Envoy’s size, Tao Yu felt it’d be much more convenient to handle!
Tao Yu felt the changes in Unit-01 after it absorbed the Yuan Force, although there indeed was an improvement in various aspects, it didn’t absorb Skill directly like a Pioneer, in fact, better to have Unit-01 directly devour the Water Angel’s S2 engine…
…
“Takigakure, you really were fantastic!”
“You’re the hero who saved the city!”
“You saved the world!”
“…”
Once Tao Yu returned, he was greeted with the grandest welcome.
NERV was established to intercept the Angel Envoy, and they had always been indoctrinated with how powerful the Angel Envoy was and how dangerous the world was.
They were all risking their lives to save the world.
Seeing the despairingly powerful Angel Envoy, witnessing him effortlessly defeat the UN forces, and even only sustain minor injuries from an N2 landmine, they too felt the heaviness in their hearts, unsure if EVA could indeed be successful.
But Tao Yu’s sudden emergence, Unit-01 crushing the formidable enemy in a snap, completely overturned their understanding.
Angel Envoy?
Apocalypse?
Is that all?!
We are the heroes saving the world!
The despair brought by the initial angel was as great as their current frenzy.
And Tao Yu displayed a classic Homelander smile,
“At most, I’m just a pilot, but you, you are the true heroes…”
Unit-01 remained almost intact, apart from the initial severe losses to the UN forces and the aftermath damage from taking a shot from the AT field cross cannon, the overall damage was much less than expected.
The accident with Unit-00 was completely pushed aside, and Gendo Ikari, for once, received commendation from the Human Instrumentality Committee.
“This time was well done; is that pilot from that village?
Do we have any means of control now?”
A representative in the holographic image seemed to be considering Tao Yu’s identity.
Takigakure Village had long been understood by SEELE, and this group of soldiers, dedicated to completing their mission, were definitely their favorite tools.
But now, they didn’t expect the child from Takigakure Village could achieve this level.
Even if Takigakure Village is highly regarded, used by many satisfactorily,
as the rulers of the world, they absolutely don’t want things to spiral out of control!
This Qualified candidate was simply too exaggerated.
Combined with the power displayed by Unit-01, it surely couldn’t be matched by any existing force.
Saving the world, so what?
If it could potentially disrupt the final plan, challenge their authority, restraint was still necessary!
“How about implanting a miniature bomb in his body?”
“Wouldn’t that trigger rebelliousness?”
“We can install it secretly, just say it’s for a medical check-up, and if he behaves normally, he’ll never know.”
“Right, take a dual approach, pacify on one hand and leave a backup plan on the other.”
SEELE, with the Dead Sea Scrolls in their possession, secretly controlling the world, would never allow such uncontrollable events to occur.
They were the rulers of the world, the kings of the world, about to lead humanity toward a glorious evolution.
Even a global disaster caused by Antarctica, they could easily blame shift.
“We can’t put all our hope on one person; if he disobeys and dies, we won’t have such a good replacement.”
“Right.”
“We will also start to look for other children on our side, your job for now is just to fulfill your duty and defeat the attacking Angel Envoys.”
Ultimately, they made the decision.
Gendo Ikari’s defeat of the Angel Envoy earned capability recognition, and they could continue to safely push forward with the completion plan.
As the meeting ended, Gendo Ikari’s assistant, Fuyutsuki, also spoke gravely,
“Didn’t expect this new Qualified candidate to be so strong; can the combat talent from that village be so terrifying when used in EVA…”
After his remark, he looked toward Gendo Ikari,
“So, Yui’s child, should we still involve him?”
Gendo Ikari, with his hands crossed on the desk, looked very calm,
“They are right about one thing; we can’t put all our hopes on one person.”
After saying that, Gendo Ikari pressed the call button,
“Call Misato over, I have a task for her…”
What do you think?
