?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 metal door behind them began to lower.
The entire city seemed to tremble.
At this time, 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 environment triggered a conditioned reflex in people who had gone through numerous evacuation drills.
By now, Tao Yu and Misato had already started their descent into the underground city.
Compared to the daytime, now it seemed 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 adjustments 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 Envoya?€|”
“According to the Dead Sea Scrolls...
forget it, there’s no time to explain so much, follow me.”
As the elevator arrived, Misato Katsuragi quickly led Tao Yu to the headquarters.
“Uh, you’re just bringing me to the headquarters?” Tao Yu followed Misato and asked tentatively.
Shouldn’t she be taking me directly to get familiar with EVA?
I just passed the initial screening, haven’t yet touched the unit, nor had any training, is this appropriatea?€|
Shinji Ikari indeed faced a situation where he was thrown in at the deep end, but having even a little more time 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-time connections to some filming equipment 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 some explanations at any moment.
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 outcome 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.
First, he revealed that they knew his secret, then extended the employment offer.
They even said that he could name any condition.
“Any condition?
I can ask for anything?”
“Anything!”
“Alright, I’ll keep my demands for now; you first tell me what you want me 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 demandsa?€”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 equipment in that test earlier, were you wanting me to operate something?
Why not let me 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 moment.
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 moment, the giant screen in front of them continually switched images, showing the Titan rising from the ocean and merely 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 explodea?€|
