Chapter 800: Chapter 726 Angel Envoy Chapter 800: Chapter 726 Angel Envoy Tao Yu sat in Misato Katsuragi’s car, and they had just rushed into the dedicated cargo elevator leading underground when the tal door behind them began to lower.
The entire city seed to tremble.
At this ti, it was still the early hours of the morning, The Sun had not yet risen, and most people were still in their dreams.
But the shrill alarm in this environnt triggered a conditioned reflex in people who had gone through nurous evacuation drills.
By now, Tao Yu and Misato had already started their descent into the underground city.
Compared to the dayti, now it seed like only the two of them were there.
Tao Yu looked sideways, the combat modules twenty-four floors beneath the steel plates were already making subtle adjustnts for ascension, while the civilian buildings above began to slide down, intertwining with each other.
...
“What’s happened?” Tao Yu asked, his voice deep, though he had predicted this.
“An Angel Envoy is attacking,” Misato Katsuragi answered succinctly.
Although she did not know what NERV’s ultimate goal was, blocking the Angel Envoy was her lifelong mission.
“Angel Envoy…”
“According to the Dead Sea Scrolls…
forget it, there’s no ti to explain so much, follow .”
As the elevator arrived, Misato Katsuragi quickly led Tao Yu to the headquarters.
“Uh, you’re just bringing to the headquarters?” Tao Yu followed Misato and asked tentatively.
Shouldn’t she be taking directly to get familiar with EVA?
I just passed the initial screening, haven’t yet touched the unit, nor had any training, is this appropriate…
Shinji Ikari indeed faced a situation where he was thrown in at the deep end, but having even a little more ti now would be better, right?
“What else?
First, you need to understand what has happened.”
Misato’s words made Tao Yu quickly realize, right, NERV might not have received authorization to use EVA yet.
If it was the Water Angel appearing earlier, they would indeed fight the UN army first, even using N2 mines.
Misato, leveraging her privileges, proceeded unobstructed and then brought Tao Yu to the command center.
The atmosphere in the command center was very tense, with a tactical 3D map of the area near the third New Tokyo in front, and many large screens forming live scenes.
These were real-ti connections to so filming equipnt in the field.
However, the authority in the scene was not held by Gendo Ikari but by three high-ranking officers in UN military uniforms, sitting in the highest positions.
Gendo Ikari, with his unmistakable style, also stood beside them, seemingly ready to give so explanations at any mont.
Tao Yu looked at Gendo Ikari, unsure of how to evaluate him.
To call him a scum, all his plans were to see Yui Ikari again; he was obsessed with the outco regardless of the process.
To call it pure love, he had manipulated the feelings of both Naoko Akagi and Ritsuko Akagi, mother and daughter.
As a father, he also failed terribly, quite a contradictory person.
But it was undeniable that he was willing to do anything at any cost to achieve his goals, and his ability was indeed strong.
He was neither the Chosen One nor a Fortune Thief.
The command center was already bustling, the surveillance screens showed the previously peaceful buildings of the third New Tokyo, having completely transford.
Civilian buildings all sank, and various gun turrets, rocket launchers, and missile silos began to erge.
On the periter coastal roads, tanks and self-propelled guns popped up from nowhere, and the rails for the train cars also saw so train guns appear.
The sky was filled with ard helicopters, and the live cara continually switched between multiple angles.
The concentration of firepower exceeded what would normally be seen in conventional warfare.
In modern conventional firepower, it’s difficult to fully utilize the maximum effect when concentrated so closely, but now the armants were indeed densely arranged.
As if intending to increase the density of firepower within a unit range.
And soon, the enemy’s figure also erged, a gigantic humanoid figure rising from the red sea as if a monster from the Pacific Rim had surfaced from the waters.
The crimson seawater cascaded down its shell, resembling blood and appearing quite nauseating.
The nearly hundred ters of height, surpassing the Tailed Beasts!
Visually, it was undoubtedly a Water Angel.
Its abstract face was nauseating to look at, seeming innately an enemy of humanity.
“Angel Envoys compete with each other, all racing to initiate the collision.”
Tao Yu could sowhat understand the reasons, but still asked curiously,
“Is this an Angel Envoy?
The one prophesied to destroy humanity?”
“Yes, so our purpose is to stop them, and you are a crucial part of that.”
An elderly man with white hair approached Tao Yu, it was Kozo Fuyutsuki.
“?
Because of yesterday’s test?
But nothing followed that allowed to continue testing.”
“I know about your village’s uniqueness, but that doesn’t matter right now.
You’ve always been committed to completing tasks, and now, we want to hire you to kill the Angel Envoy.”
Originally, Fuyutsuki had thought he could observe more, considering this as just a backup.
However, the Water Angel’s premature attack disrupted all plans.
The second Qualified was in Europe, the third Qualified was still en route, and Ayanami, due to an accident in the last test, was still severely injured.
Suddenly, what was once a backup beca the only option.
This certainly was a significant deviation from the original plan.
For this reason, Fuyutsuki directly represented NERV in laying their cards on the table.
First, he revealed that they knew his secret, then extended the employnt offer.
They even said that he could na any condition.
“Any condition?
I can ask for anything?”
“Anything!”
“Alright, I’ll keep my demands for now; you first tell what you want to do.”
Tao Yu liked to win people over with virtue, preferring to resolve issues amicably without resorting to force.
Now, without the Chosen One hogging the kills, he could monopolize the benefits of the Angel Envoy and later press NERV with his demands—it was perfect.
The demands weren’t much, taking everything like Lilith, Spear of Longinus, or even the possible existence of Adam’s embryo.
He’d devour them without hesitating.
“Good, I didn’t expect you to be so enlightened.
Now, watch the battle situation carefully and learn more about the Angel Envoy’s Ability.”
Fuyutsuki’s words rendered Tao Yu speechless; he hadn’t even touched an EVA yet.
Then he asked,
“The control equipnt in that test earlier, were you wanting to operate sothing?
Why not let get familiar with it?”
“Uh, cough cough, we haven’t gotten authorization yet, but don’t worry, it’s not about piloting skill.
The neuronal connection mode will make you handle it as if you were controlling your own body; as long as the synchronization rate is okay, it’ll be easy to handle.”
Fuyutsuki was also slightly embarrassed at that mont.
The UN military was currently holding off the Angel Envoy, and NERV indeed hadn’t received authorization to use an EVA yet.
But it was close!
These weapons alone could not threaten the Angel Envoy.
Fuyutsuki and Gendo Ikari had no doubt about this!
At that mont, the giant screen in front of them continually switched images, showing the Titan rising from the ocean and rely with a casual glare, launched a cross-shaped beam of compressed AT field from a distance, instantly wiping out all the defense facilities in that area!
Any armor or fortification was as flimsy as paper against this strike!
Even the underground NERV headquarters could faintly feel the tremors.
With a casual flick, its agile, slender arm effortlessly knocked down helicopters from the sky.
Accompanied by the appearance of an angelic halo above its head, the AT field strongly propelled it upwards as if trying to leave the ocean surface and float directly towards New Tokyo Three.
Continual artillery attacks bombarded the diamond-shaped light wall of the AT field, only causing surface ripples without even deforming the field.
Rockets, missiles, all sorts of conventional weapons were unleashed on the Angel Envoy like money was no object, yet all were blocked by the AT field.
One could only watch from afar, like watching fireworks explode…
