EVA: Shinji Ikari Returns from Tiga

Chapter 146 Humanity's Victory

Adjusting its posture in mid-air...

"Go! Asuka!!"

Then, upon hearing Suzuhara Toji's death thud, Asuka understood... This monkey she had looked down upon had gloriously completed... the task entrusted to him by Ikari Shinji!
He felt the grip and warmth of Unit-03 tightly holding his feet! And he felt the incredibly powerful force that had thrown him toward the Eleventh Angel... That was the resolve that Suzuhara Toji had left him!
So… next, it's my turn!

"Please, help me... Unit 2... Mom!!!"

With a roar that foreshadowed Asuka's final resolve…! All of Unit-02's compound eyes once again burst forth with a brilliant light, as if they had burned out completely.

In an instant… all the limiters called armor were shattered—back…shoulders…groin…spine!!

The restraints installed to confine the divine body within the human realm were completely incinerated by the intense heat emanating from Unit 2.

"Ughh ...

Using the force of being thrown from the sky by Unit 3 and the centrifugal force…! Unit 2, the beast, bares its last stubborn fangs!
Click...!
Compared to the roar of Unit 2, it was a sound that was far too light and subtle… but this sound—represented…

"It's torn open...!!"

"The Eleventh Angel's Absolute Territory! It has been successfully eroded by Unit-02...!!"

It remained completely still even after being besieged for an unknown period of time... protecting the Eleventh Angel and ensuring He was unharmed under the siege of EVA... the strongest level of Absolute Territory!

It's been breached!!!

"careful…!!"

If the apostle had emotions... then He must be furious right now!

Having lost its AT Field, the Eleventh Angel once again transformed those two light, flowing ribbons... into spears and blades...

"Get out of the way! Asuka...!"

Even the Eleventh Angel was pondering how to engulf Unit-02 with a pillar of fire after it dodged this slash.

but----

“Aa ...

Ibuki Maya let out a scream... The entire screen was soaked in crimson blood.

Because the arms of Unit 2 are no longer connected to the body of Unit 2.

Two ribbons, one on the left and one on the right, pierced through the shoulders of Unit 2. The force and speed were so great that the shoulders of Unit 2 almost disappeared completely, leaving only two gruesome cuts.

"Ooohhhhhh!"

Meanwhile, Unit 2... with a desperate, all-or-nothing momentum, bit down hard on the eleventh apostle's chest... its core.

Seemingly realizing something, the eleventh apostle began to panic... While trying to retract the two ribbons that had shot out, the apostle desperately flailed backward, trying to create distance...

"……snort!!"

But even faster than that... was the well-prepared Unit-00.

As if it had been anticipated, Number Two did not dodge this almost fatal attack, but instead used his body to force out the Eleventh Apostle's ribbon-cutting attack...

Unit-00 leaped forward and grabbed the two fluttering blades of the Eleventh Angel. Preventing them from being retrieved smoothly, it then sliced Unit-02 into pieces.

"Waaaaah...!!"

In an instant, an intense, unbelievable, tearing pain shot through Rei Ayanami's palms and fingers... This, this is...!?

Is this... the pain that Suzuhara-san and Ali just endured?!
It was so... sharp, so profound... a sharp pain that almost made me cry just by holding it in my hand!
But—she won't let go…!! It's a bit of a shame that Unit-00's design was the original model without a mouth… otherwise, Rei Ayanami would have wanted to bite down on the Eleventh Angel's two fluttering blades with her own teeth right now…

"When are you going to aim...aaaaaah...eye-cat girl!!!"

Using the sharp teeth of Unit-02, it pressed firmly against the core of the Eleventh Angel... even though its excessive hardness prevented it from being directly crushed by its own teeth...

It can also prevent the protective membrane on the top and bottom sides of the core from successfully covering the core.

"Mari Makinami... Hurry up...!!"

Rei Ayanami also let out a mournful cry... After only a few breaths of gripping, all of Unit-00's fingers had been severed... Now, Rei Ayanami could only rely on her last bit of grip strength to prevent the sharp blade piercing her palm from being pulled out.

"I see…………!!"

In the distance, at the sniper position... Unit-08, mounted with a heavy positron cannon sniper rifle... Mashiro took a deep breath.

To be honest, Mari has never been as nervous as she is today...!
Aiming itself only requires MAGI's central computer... but this opportunity... is one in a million.

Shinji Ikari, Asuka Langley Soryu, Rei Ayanami, Toji Suzuhara… these guys, one after another… with human hands, human strength and wisdom, broke through the defenses of the strongest Rejection Angel… and dismantled His Absolute Territory!

Then, Unit 2 rushed to a position of zero-distance contact with the Eleventh Angel... causing the Eleventh Angel to lose its firing angle and realize that using its light beam would engulf it as well...

Finally, Unit-00 sacrificed itself to seize those two sharp blades, turning the Eleventh Angel into a pure lamb to the slaughter!
This is your victory...this is humanity's victory!

"Heavy Psionic Sniper Cannon...Fire!!!"

This is the reward for everyone's hard work...

This is the reward earned through everyone's hard work and sacrifice...

Therefore, there is absolutely no reason why it could not be hit!

From the side, with unparalleled precision, it pierced through the Angel's core, which was still being torn apart by Unit-02.

The core, already showing signs of cracking due to the almost frenzied attacks of Unit-02 after its beast transformation…

It was pierced through by NERV's strongest anti-angel weapon without an AT field, without a doubt, with overwhelming force.

poof...

To this most powerful apostle, it was a voice far too light…

But He did indeed fall.

Unit-00 also felt the sharp blade she had been holding so tightly transform back into a soft and powerless ribbon...

"It worked...?"
