Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 923 Now that there are Angels, EVA can't be left out.
Cheng, who had just ripped the apostle's skull open, was still in a daze and subconsciously followed Wu Tan's words, which left him with a head full of question marks.

When did Brother Ge start having such a neat and orderly appearance?

However, when Cheng Tian's gaze swept over the Ninth Apostle, who had been motionless for half a day, only maintaining half a head and kneeling on the ground with its tongue sticking out, attempting to repair itself, he suddenly realized what was going on.

It's Lei-chan!
Although it's unclear whether it's following the enemy faction route in the third stage of the Shattered Challenge or the Mysterious Elite route, based on Utan's description, this flying light blue octahedron should undoubtedly be the Sixth Angel, Raikou, from Evangelion.

As if to confirm Cheng Tian's guess, Gen Ge had already transmitted the mental scan image to Cheng Tian's side brain-to-brain—

A huge regular octahedron, gleaming in the sunlight, with an extremely smooth surface, and slowly rotating clockwise, floats quietly above the Tokyo Skytree. At first glance, it looks like a large decoration added to the Skytree by Tokyo to celebrate Christmas early.

No other derivative units were detected during the scan, but Cheng Tian was still inclined to believe that this thing was spawned through the Mysterious Elite mechanism.

Tokyo, in dire straits, was first covered by the spread of the Red Dust, then attacked by the Rodan swarm, then hit by a terrorist nuclear bomb, and finally the arrival of the Thunder Angel.

And if nothing unexpected happens, there should still be a guy wandering around the beach.

...It's more accurate to say that it's a miracle that Tokyo, which has repeatedly oscillated between being a colony and an incomplete sovereign state, has been able to basically retain its original urban structure.

This is just the concentrated outbreak of various hidden dangers that were buried before, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the Lieyang!
Ah!
"Sixth!"

Controlling the Great Beast God, Cheng Tian then gave the Deviljho (Deviljho + Dragon Emperor Caesar) a good whack on the head, causing it to spit out the No. 3 brain tissue from its mouth. After confirming from the panel that the Deviljho had no negative effects, Cheng Tian finally focused his attention on Lei Jiang with peace of mind.

The reason I say it's the sixth rather than the fifth is based on my observation of the Ninth Angel using EVA Unit-03.

The TV version's Unit-03 is the Thirteenth Angel, while the movie version's is the Ninth Angel, and Rai-chan naturally also has a change in order.

However, this is not essentially a change of settings, but a change of details after a "cycle".

What Cheng Tian remembers most vividly about the Thunder Angel is that its fighting style, which was relatively simple in the TV version, became quite flashy in the movie version.

Of all the apostles' designs, Cheng Tian found the Thunder Angel the most interesting.

"The UFO reconnaissance team will send half of its forces to help me search around Tokyo, focusing on areas with good vantage points, especially relatively flat and concealed places like the mountains in the suburbs."

If you find a giant humanoid unit that resembles the Ninth Apostle I marked, report it immediately. Remember, if the target is purple, blue, yellow, or red, mark it as neutral to slightly friendly for now; mark other colors as neutral to hostile.

The remaining half of the UFOs will search the waters inside and outside Tokyo Bay, following the path of nuclear radiation detected by Utan. There's a high probability they'll find something like a giant monster along that path, but be extremely careful not to act rashly. Even if they do find something, mark it as neutral and maintain your distance.

After a brief brainstorming session, Cheng Tian immediately provided the subsequent battlefield execution plan.

Although almost all the units spawned in the Shattered Challenge so far have been enemy units, or at the very least neutral and hostile ones, Cheng Tian's instincts told him that after the consecutive spawns of the Ninth and Sixth Angels, the probability of potential allies appearing was extremely high. Given that recruiting Red Heart Domon would spawn the corresponding Kowloon Gundam and Death Legion, Cheng Tian had ample reason to believe that the appearance of the Angels would likely lead to the appearance of EVA.

Maybe that autistic fourteen-year-old boy piloted Unit-01, carrying a positron cannon, and was thrown by the dimensional shock along with Rai-chan to some mountain on the outskirts of Tokyo.

Of course, Cheng Tian also had to consider how to deal with this octahedron, which was known as the "most powerful weapon" in the Apostle circle, without the support of EVA and the positron cannon.

Rai-chan's AT field performance isn't the strongest, nor is the high-energy strike it releases the most powerful. However, its strength lies in its integrated offense and defense. Unless it's a highly targeted attack, not only will its defense be impossible to break through, but it might even be vaporized before it can penetrate it.

The terrifying attack in the movie, where the mountain peaks were instantly melted away, truly made Cheng Tian feel the charm of excellent animation, full of tension.

...Perhaps we could consider recreating the scene of the True Dragon Legion and the Insect Legion?
I wonder if there's any possibility of a conflict between Brother and Angel Lei.

But then again, if we just let it go, not to mention whether the two monsters will fight each other, what will the Thunder Angel do in this world that essentially has no NERV organization and no Lilith?

Are you digging for groundwater in Tokyo?

We can't exactly dig up a new NERV Tokyo branch, can we?
Putting aside the somewhat absurd yet hopeful thought, Cheng Tian's attention returned to the No. 3 machine sitting on the duck.

As a slime mold-like life form, the Ninth Angel gained the same life form after perfectly corrupting and controlling Unit-03. However, it was precisely because of this perfect corruption that the Ninth Angel not only gained the combat power of Unit-03, but also inherited the weaknesses that "humans" should have.

So when his skull was blown off by Cheng Tian's mental energy bomb, even though his physical blood volume was still relatively sufficient, he still fell into a prolonged state of paralysis, almost to the point of brain death.

This is also reflected in the original work. In both the TV series and the movie, Unit-03 had its neck broken by Unit-01, and was thus completely rendered powerless.

With a flash of light, Cheng Tian took in all the details inside the No. 3 machine's head.

Judging from the current level of regeneration of the remaining brain tissue, the Ninth Apostle is trying to heal itself by consuming its maximum blood volume to repair the missing parts. If left unattended, it will eventually recover, but Cheng Tian will not give it that chance.

Since the other party is currently in a state of physical mental impairment, their resistance shouldn't be too high, so perhaps...

Cheng Tian's blue bar instantly dropped by half.

Meanwhile, at the summit of Mount Takao, fifty kilometers away from Tokyo, two enormous humanoid figures, one yellow and one purple, were thrown out with the appearance of a spatial rift. They then crashed headfirst into the valley in an aesthetically displeasing manner.

At that very moment, the Thunder Angel began to move, but its direction of movement was towards Tokyo Bay to the south.
