Ultraman grunts? Call me Space Policeman outside!

Gendo Ikari has a brilliant spy like Ryoji Kaji, but Natsuki has an even bigger spy in Albert.

After saying that, Xia Shu's phantom disappeared from there.

"Huh?" Upon hearing the last two sentences, Kaji Ryoji, who had already prepared to die, was stunned.

Is this the tone of voice that SEELE members would use?

Something doesn't feel quite right.

However, out of caution, Kaji Ryoji still held his pistol and did not turn his back away from the wall, wary of any enemies that might appear at any time.

"Boom!"

The seawater around the fleet suddenly began to churn, as if some enormous creature was about to break through the surface.

"No way..." Kaji Ryoji felt the tremor and heard the commotion on the deck, realizing that the Angels had probably arrived.

Chapter 115 Enemy Attack

"Radar has detected a huge underwater object rapidly approaching the fleet!"

"It is suspected to be a creature called an Apostle!"

In the captain's cabin, the technician in charge of monitoring the underwater situation reported loudly.

"Do they dare to approach with such a large fleet?" The old captain, pipe in mouth, frowned as he looked at the constantly rising and falling sea, and quickly made a decision in his mind.

"All ships, prepare for engagement!"

"Unleash all weapons and destroy them underwater!" the old captain ordered sternly over the radio.

Do you really think our United Nations is a pushover? Today, we'll show this apostle our strength!

"Received!"

......

At this moment, all five aircraft carriers and four battleships locked onto their target, and the soldiers on each ship threw themselves into the battle, unleashing firepower at the underwater target.

The torpedo moved underwater at an extremely high speed, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of the underwater apostle.

It was a huge creature, entirely off-white, resembling a whale, with a gaping maw filled with sharp teeth, and a size even larger than an aircraft carrier.

The Sixth Apostle, the Fish Angel

"Boom boom boom!"

The dense attacks landed on the Sixth Apostle, the Fish Angel, but were all blocked by the AT field, creating a huge explosion underwater and causing the waves to surge.

"Did we succeed?" The old captain, holding binoculars and observing the sea, wondered to himself.

"How could that be?"

“To kill an Angel with torpedoes and missiles alone, the explosive yield would be enough to blow us all up,” Misato Katsuragi, who had fought the Angels many times, immediately retorted.

It's a pipe dream to think that these fleets alone can kill the Apostles.

Compared to the agile apostles, these aircraft carriers and battleships were like sitting ducks.

Then, she asked through the headset communicator, "Li, is Unit Zero ready?"

"Ready, ready to deploy at any time." Rei Ayanami's cool voice rang out in the communication.

Upon discovering the Angel, they reacted immediately, ordering Rei Ayanami to prepare to pilot Unit-00.

"I didn't expect that an accident would still happen in the end."

"Unit Zero, deploy!" Misato Katsuragi ordered over the comms.

She thought this was just a routine handover mission, but she never expected it would be attacked by the apostles.

Logically, the Angels' target should be NERV's headquarters.

Is there something here that attracts the apostles?

"Hey! What are you doing?"

"The sea should be under our jurisdiction!" the old captain immediately questioned upon hearing that Misato Katsuragi had begun directing operations on the scene.

As the saying goes, "two tigers cannot share one mountain," and the UN forces also have their own pride.

“See? Ordinary weapons simply can’t kill an Angel.” Misato Katsuragi, upon hearing the question, switched into the role of NERV’s operations director and pointed at the fish-angel with half its body above the water.

"If you don't activate the EVA immediately, your warships will be destroyed very soon, and the number of casualties will be far beyond your imagination."

"Do you dare to take on this responsibility?" Misato Katsuragi retorted with a firm tone.

In case of unforeseen circumstances, NERV has the right to take over the site, as this was agreed upon in advance.

"This..." The old captain was stunned after hearing this. It was a fact that their first round of attacks had failed to cause any damage to the apostles.

He had his doubts about the apostles' claim that they could easily tear their fleet apart, but he dared not gamble with the lives of so many of his soldiers.

Otherwise, you'll face a military court.

"Now, we will also officially take over Unit 2."

"Please have the personnel on your other warship prepare to start up Unit 2."

"In order to minimize losses in this operation, we need your cooperation," Misato Katsuragi said earnestly.

Then, without waiting for a reply, he turned to Asuka and ordered, "Asuka, I'm entrusting Unit 2 to you."

"Get ready to watch my performance!" Asuka said with a confident smile, her hands clasped together, upon hearing that she was to pilot Unit-02 into actual combat.

If Misato Katsuragi hadn't made a decision now, she would have secretly sneaked into Unit 2 as well.

After receiving the order, Asuka grabbed Shinji and ran out of the captain's cabin.

"Huh? Am I going to pilot Unit-02 too?" Shinji was dragged forward with a bewildered look on his face. He had never heard that Unit-02 was piloted by two people.

He was originally planning to find a secluded corner to transform.

His attention was still on Natsuki, and he was also very curious about what was in the box.

"Stop talking nonsense, just follow me!" Asuka grabbed Shinji and ran as fast as she could.

She knew that Shinji Ikari was currently the best pilot in NERV, and that's why she wanted to challenge him and show him how she piloted an EVA.

"Mr. Natsuki, save me!" Shinji was truly at a loss when faced with a girl with this kind of temper, so he could only turn to Natsuki for help.

Natsuki's illusory figure emerged from the lounge below, floating beside Shinji as he moved, arms crossed in a thoughtful pose.

"You're quite popular with the opposite sex, aren't you?" Xia Shu said thoughtfully.

The women who are currently closest to Shinji—Misato Katsuragi, Rei Ayanami, and Asuka—are all quite attractive, at least in terms of looks, and aside from their somewhat abnormal personalities, they are all pretty normal.

To be fair, Shinji is really popular with the opposite sex.

"Is that the point!?" Shinji had no idea that Natsuki was thinking about this right now.

“This is youth, Shinji.” Natsuki put his hands behind his back, floating and gazing at the sea. “One cannot have youth and the feeling of youth at the same time. You should cherish this time.”

"Just like when I was young..."

"Idiot!" Asuka's sharp shout interrupted Natsuki's spellcasting. She yelled at Shinji, "You're so heavy! What are you daydreaming about at a time like this!"

Shinji was so engrossed in listening to Ultraman's story that he paid no attention to reality and was completely being led by Asuka.

He only came to his senses after being shouted at like that.

"I've only just heard the exciting part!" Shinji said reluctantly, wanting to hear some Ultra gossip.

"What exciting part?" Asuka felt a headache coming on when she heard Shinji's nonsensical words. Was there something wrong with this guy's brain?

"Hurry up and come with me, the real excitement is just beginning!" After Shinji stood up straight, she grabbed his forearm and stared intently at Unit-02, which was covered by a cloth in the distance.

Chapter 116 An Unexpected Twist

"Boom boom boom!"

Ignoring the gunfire from the surrounding battleships, the Fish Angel, using its AT field, swam rapidly towards the flagship where the old captain was located. The surrounding seawater was pushed aside by its massive body, and the waves it created caused the surrounding fleet to shake.

The sea trembled with a deafening roar, and the apostle's gaping maw opened wide, every tooth clearly visible, like a deadly abyss.

"This is... an apostle?" The old captain's eyes widened as he stared at the angelic fish charging straight at the aircraft carrier, instinctively feeling a sense of fear.

This thing was beyond his imagination of living things.

"Rei!" Katsuragi Misato, who was also in the captain's cabin, was relatively calmer and called out over the comms.

“I’m here!” Rei Ayanami replied.

As the Fish Angel approached the main ship, the orange EVA Unit-00 flew over the deck and delivered a punch that landed squarely on the Fish Angel!

The Zero Unit, which appeared out of nowhere, changed Fish Angel's original attack route with a punch, knocking it into the water with a dull thud, creating waves.

"Be careful, EVA units aren't very good at underwater combat." Misato Katsuragi breathed a slight sigh of relief as the Fish Angel fell back into the sea, then warned Rei Ayanami.

Ground combat is what they excel at.

Facing apostles with fish-like features in the ocean is undoubtedly disadvantageous for them.

The power cables of the EVA units also meant that they could not enter very deep seawater.

"Okay." Rei Ayanami piloted Unit-00, waiting on the aircraft carrier's deck, constantly on guard against enemies launching a surprise attack from underwater.

......

"If we don't hurry, that guy will steal the apostle!"

Asuka and Shinji changed into their red combat suits and quickly crawled into the insertion plug cockpit of Unit-02, waiting for the crew to insert the insertion plug into Unit-02.

EVA Unit-02

"So this is the cockpit of Unit-02... It's not much different from Unit-01." Shinji said, standing behind Asuka and looking around the interior of the cockpit.

“You can’t tell the difference just by looking at the cockpit, but you’ll see it in the actual combat later.” Asuka smiled confidently. “Unit-00 and Unit-01 are ultimately just experimental machines. Only Unit-02 was created purely for combat.”
