Ultraman grunts? Call me Space Policeman outside!

"What!?"

"They couldn't kill him in one hit?!" Misato Katsuragi saw this through her binoculars and her eyes widened instantly.

According to their plan, this attack should have killed the apostle directly.

But the Angel of Thunder's current reaction doesn't seem like that of someone on the verge of death at all; he's only suffered some minor injuries, and... he even seems "angry" about it.

Shinji had chosen the most appropriate time to fire, but for his will to be transmitted to Unit-01, it ultimately had to go through the program's response.

His synchronization rate with Unit-01 is now even lower than during his first piloting, reaching only 27% even while wearing the combat suit.

This shot did not directly hit the core of the Thunder Angel.

"Shinji, watch out!" Misato Katsuragi saw the Raikou switch forms again, this time into a pentagram shape. Its entire blue body was turning red due to the accumulation of energy. This attack was definitely more powerful than all the previous attacks!

The Rai-Angel sensed the danger and immediately unleashed its strongest attack in the direction of Unit-01.

The blinding beam of light instantly blew away all the surrounding buildings and hurtled straight toward Unit-01 with intense heat.

The two peaks of Erzi Mountain where they were located were connected. The first peak, which had been used to conceal their position, had now become their cover. However, even this peak was pierced through by the beam of the Thunder Angel, leaving a huge gap and sending earth and rocks flying everywhere!

The remaining energy was about to reach Unit-01.

The attack landed on the mountaintop, and flames instantly filled everyone's field of vision.

"Shinji! Rei!" Misato Katsuragi exclaimed instinctively upon seeing this scene.

At the mountaintop, Unit-01, holding a shield, stood in front, blocking the beams of the Raikou and firmly protecting Unit-01 behind it.

The makeshift shield could block the Thunder Angel's attacks in its normal state, but it couldn't even last half a minute under the opponent's full-force attacks.

"I can... hold on a little longer."

The scorching energy melted the edges of the shield and eroded the outer armor of Unit-00. The intense pain was transmitted to Rei Ayanami, but she still endured the pain and spoke.

"Ayanami..." Shinji stared blankly at Rei Ayanami, who was standing in front of him.

"Quickly! Recharge the positron cannon!"

"Shinji, prepare for the next shot!" Misato Katsuragi did not give up the opportunity; they had to take advantage of this moment to charge the next positron cannon.

Shinji's choice at this moment took everyone by surprise.

Amidst the raging flames, Unit-01 discarded its positron cannon and stood up from its sniping position.

He stepped into the scorching heat and approached Unit-01.

"EVA Unit-01, AT Field at full power!" Shinji gripped the control stick tightly, focusing all his will on defense, gritting his teeth as he pushed forward with the AT Field, protecting Unit-00 behind him.

"...Why?" Rei Ayanami stared blankly as Unit-01 stood in front of her, blocking the attack from the Raikoushi.

"I told you, I won't let you die here!" Shinji said through gritted teeth, enduring the extremely high heat and using his AT Field to block the beams of light continuously emitted by the Angel of Thunder.

Chapter 105 Become Ultraman, Shinji Ikari!

"Unit-01 is 40% damaged!"

"The synchronization rate has dropped by another 2%!"

"This is too dangerous!"

The communication line crackled with the anxious voice of a technician reporting something.

Satomi Katsuragi watched this scene through her binoculars and immediately frowned.

Shinji... what exactly are you trying to do?

"There's no time, prioritize protecting the driver!"

"Emergency ejection of the insertion plug!" Misato Katsuragi ordered reluctantly.

If the situation continues to stalemate, both mobile suits will eventually be overwhelmed by the Raikou's attacks, and both young pilots will die in this mission.

"Shinji, are you ready?" Natsuki's voice echoed in Shinji's mind.

“Mr. Natsuki, I need your help to protect Ayanami-san and everyone here!” Shinji Ikari replied firmly.

He would continue fighting; this time, he was determined to destroy the apostles!

"Then... become Ultraman, Shinji Ikari!"

Amidst the dazzling beam of light unleashed by the Angel of Thunder, and in the scorching inferno, Shinji Ikari released the control stick of EVA Unit-01 and reached for the bracelet on his other hand.

Through the dazzling beam of light, his gaze seemed to reach the distant Thunder Angel. With unwavering determination, he raised his right hand high!

"EVA Unit-01 and EVA Unit-00's insertion plugs have been ejected!" The technicians at headquarters were still reporting.

Two long, round white insertion bolts popped out from the rear of the two machines and landed on the edge of the mountain after being cushioned.

Without their pilots, both mobile suits also lose their AT fields, and Raikou's attack will undoubtedly destroy them instantly.

The beam of the Thunder Angel remained stationary in front of Unit 1, unable to advance an inch.

Within that dazzling beam of light, one could also see another, even more dazzling light, resembling a cross... or a ring, converging to form the figure of a giant!

The Thunder Angel realized that its attack was ineffective and stopped firing the beam.

After the beam of light dissipated, people were able to see the giant with a red and silver body blocking the way in front of Unit-01.

"A silver... giant?" Rei Ayanami had just opened the hatch of the insertion plug when she saw the giant not far away. The tall figure felt somewhat familiar to her. She didn't know who this giant was, nor did she know why it was here.

But at this moment, she felt inexplicably at ease.

Warmth...powerful were her first thoughts when she saw the giant.

"That giant has reappeared!" Professor Fuyutsuki exclaimed in surprise as he saw the giant who had killed the Third Apostle reappear before them.

They never gave up searching for traces of the giants, but no matter how hard they searched, they could not find any trace of giant activity anywhere on Earth.

"Did they appear because of the Angels?" Gendo Ikari's gaze became more serious, and he quickly realized that the timing of the two giant appearances was similar.

The giants appeared just when they were about to be helpless against the apostles.

"What kind of power does this mysterious giant possess? Let me see it for myself." He stared intently at the screen, wondering what kind of power this giant could unleash.

Being able to kill the Third Angel does not mean that the opponent is able to surpass Unit-01.

In his mind, the berserk Unit-01 would be able to easily kill the Third Angel.

Having witnessed the power of this mysterious giant firsthand, he was able to formulate subsequent strategies.

"A giant emerged from the light..." Misato Katsuragi, who was not far from the mountain, put down her binoculars and stared blankly at the giant that emerged from the light.

Everything about the other party was unknown to them.

Enemy or friend?

Will it bring destruction or salvation?

She instinctively clutched the cross necklace to her chest, praying silently that they would all be safe.

"Woo—" The Thunder Angel gazed at the giant in the distance and let out a high-pitched cry.

It instinctively sensed a hint of danger.

While the maximum output was still cooling down, it changed shape and switched to a regular cross shape.

A beam of light, less powerful than before, blasted towards the giant.

The giant did not make any further moves in response.

He simply extended his palm and then took a step.

"Knock knock...knock knock..."

The giant's weight of tens of thousands of tons stomped on the ground, each step causing violent tremors, while beams of light capable of easily destroying an entire street fell on him, yet did not affect his steps in the slightest.

The entire battlefield was illuminated by the dazzling beam of light, while the giant held the beam forward with one hand, showing no sign of distress.

"Now we are of one mind and one body."

“My power is your power.” Natsuki’s voice echoed in Shinji’s mind.

The boy's desire to protect others received a strong response.

"I can do it now!" Shinji felt this warm yet powerful force, and his desire became clearer and clearer.

Braving the beam of light, the giant pressed forward and entered the city, closing in on the Thunder Angel.

The beam attack had no effect, and the Thunder Angel withdrew its attack.

At that moment, the giant stepped forward and threw a punch!

Sensing the deadly danger, the Thunder Angel instantly shifted her body, creating an opening in the opponent's punching position, thus dodging the blow.

The giant was not annoyed by his missed attack.

His bright eyes fixed on the blue apostle before him, and he withdrew his fist.

"Whoosh!" Realizing that there was a high chance that he couldn't dodge this attack, the Thunder Angel immediately changed his posture again, shrinking his body to an extreme degree and taking on a trapezoidal shape.

This concentrated defensive configuration makes it immune to all military firepower.

The giant's straight kick had already landed the instant it changed form.

"Boom!!!"

An unimaginable force struck the Thunder Angel, and the moment they made contact, a powerful impact was generated, leveling the surrounding ruins. The Thunder Angel in its defensive form was also sent flying with a loud bang, its figure moving extremely fast!

The Thunder Angel couldn't stop its backward flight and crashed heavily into the distant mountain, causing soil and rocks to collapse and embed itself in the rock.

Its defensive form collapsed, and cracks appeared on its body surface.

"Woo—" It was enraged again, changing its posture. Blue prisms formed a five-pointed star, and the bright red core accumulated enormous energy, which dyed its entire body red.

Its strongest attack will annihilate both the giants and these humans.

A dazzling beam of light illuminated the night sky, pouring out from the center of its body, about to pierce through the giant's form.

The giant simply raised one arm slowly.

"What is he going to do...?" In the command room, Gendo Ikari frowned as he watched the giant's inexplicable movements.

"An extremely high-temperature energy reaction has occurred within the giant's body!"

"They're converging on one point!" the technician in the command center reported.
