Chapter 110 : No.7 - EVA World: Gluttony!

In the world of Evangelion,

Ikari Shinji reclined on the bed, his gaze fixed on the screen with anticipation.

Ever since he arrived at Maris residence, the videos began.

From the initial days, Shinji, with his profoundly introverted nature, felt an indistinct and peculiar connection with Mari in his heart.

This left him somewhat bewildered, a sensation that only dissipated when the mysterious videos materialized.

The snowflake pattern vanished from the screen, initiating the countdown:

9, 8, 7... 3, 2, 1!

Blood sprayed across the screen, obscuring visibility, accompanied by a thunderous, beast-like roar!

[Top Ten Darkening Character List: No.7!]

[EVA World: Gluttony!]

"EVA world? Gluttony?... Is this a future apostle?"

Ritsuko Akagi, habitually rational and clad in a white coat, wore a concerned expression.

This was a darkening list. If an apostle bearing the title of Gluttony went berserk, it would result in an unimaginable disaster!

As blood continued to trickle down the screen, it suddenly illuminated.

(A colossal humanoid mech dangled from several large transport planes, descending through the clouds and arriving at a base!)

[Dozens of alloy iron gates swung open, allowing the mech to descend slowly.]

[Upon landing, the mech, standing at about 50 meters tall, revealed its pitch-black alloy body, exuding a streamlined mechanical beauty!]

[Seemingly frigid yet brimming with power!]

"Tech World!?"

In the Marvel world, Tony's eyes sparkled.

The mech before him embodied a violent aesthetic, a new concept for him!

Even Deadpool in his home exclaimed, "It's a massive piece of work, far superior to yours!"

"Get lost!... And I warn you for the last time! If you use my favorite toilet again, I'll strap you into battle armor and sink you into the sea. I believe you can still survive, right!?"

After this outburst, Tony resumed his focused gaze on the screen.

He felt a sense of loss if he spared this thing only a passing glance; every detail had to be etched in his memory.

[As the staff continued to connect various circuits and perform debugging, the experiment commenced after a few hours.]

[The 300-minute countdown for the No. 3 machine's start-up test!]

[Main power supply confirmed normal!]

[No abnormal apoptosis in the second cell!]

[Cooling system functioning normally!]

[Data link established!]

[The Fourth Eligible Arrives, Ready for Insertion!]

[Insertion bolt secured!]

[Phase 1 completed.]

[Neural connection complete!]

Upon hearing this, Tony furrowed his brow. He hadn't expected the mech to utilize neural connections for synchronization.

Indeed, it provided better control and more flawless operation, but if the mech were destroyed, wouldn't it inflict harm on the pilot's brain?

While pondering this, a harsh voice echoed!

[The red light began to flash continuously, and a rapid alarm resounded throughout the base!]

[Warning!! Absolute value breakthrough!!! Warning! Absolute value breakthrough!)

Simultaneously, a red light suddenly illuminated the eyes of the silent mech, accompanied by an ominous aura!

[Before the master control screen, Ritsuko Akagi, still clad in a white coat, remained unruffled and stated calmly:]

[Cut off the circuit, terminate the test!!]

[The massive power supply plug was yanked out, yet the mech remained operational!]

[In the next moment, a frantic voice echoed in Ritsuko Akagi's earphones: "There's a high-energy reaction in Unit 3, and we can't shut it down!"]

[Ritsuko's expression shifted abruptly. What was going through his mind?]

[Shortly after, she observed on the screen as the alloy outer armor of the colossal mecha swung open, unveiling the scarlet flesh within!]

[Ritsuko couldn't help but exclaim, "Truly an apostle! When did it get infected!? Was the delivery team composed of idiots!"]

[Off-screen, Tony was frozen!]

[In bewilderment, he muttered, "How did the mech suddenly turn into a monster!"]

[Deadpool beside him covered his mouth and exclaimed, "How long does it take to turn it into a BBQ!"]

[Tony silently walked away. If the other party hadn't provided some valuable information, he would have dealt with this lunatic long ago.]

[Actually, unable to resist, he had taken a shot at the other party, and the scene was disgustingly memorable.]

[In the world of EVA, Ritsuko Akagi recalled a prior scene.]

[She had a suspicion that Unit 3 had likely been infected during the descent from the clouds.]

[This was crucial information, worth delving into!]

[BOOM!]

[In the distance, a light akin to a nuclear explosion illuminated the sky!]

[In the main control room, Ritsuko Akagi, who was operating remotely, stared at the monitor as it devolved into countless snowflakes.]

[Matsushiro Base was likely obliterated.]

[Simultaneously, a report from the inspection department confirmed a violent explosion at Matsushiro Base.]

[...requesting flowers...]

[…]

[Perspective shift: After the command issued orders, a multitude of personnel busied themselves!]

["EVA is deployed!"]

[Three colossal mechs moved into position on the battlefield for interception!]

[Beneath the setting sun, a purple mech sat on a hillside, awaiting battle orders.]

[Inside the cockpit, a young man wore a melancholic expression.]

[Suddenly, Shinji Ikari, who was watching the video, sat up in surprise!]

[How did he become an EVA pilot?!!]

[Within the command post, Asuka, with long orange hair, was astonished.]

[Unbelievably, the first unit was piloted by such a young teenager!]

However, why does it feel like cowardice? I will definitely not like each other in the future!

As for the three-silent girl, Ayanami Rei, seated on the bench, a subtle disturbance crossed her calm face upon glimpsing eyes reminiscent of Ikari Gendo's.

Inside the command post, the indifference in the eyes of the father, Ikari Gendo, was entirely expected!

[Ikari Shinji appeared concerned and, not long after, received an order; this battle is under the command of his father, Ikari Gendo!]

[Soon, information arrived through communication that the remote control ejection of the No. 3 unit's insertion bolt had failed, and the pilot inside could not be rescued.]

[Following that, a chilling command was swiftly issued.

[The No. 3 unit is to be abandoned and marked as the thirteenth apostle!]

Next [, the mission of the three EVAs is to completely destroy each other!!)

[As for the fourth qualified individual, they have been entirely forsaken!

[However, upon hearing this order, Shinji Ikari hesitated, showing no intention of rising at all!]

[There are still people inside; how can you destroy it?

"Such a timid pilot, what a waste!"

In the world of pirates, Akainu's eyes held only contempt!

This kind of person is a liability on the battlefield!

Moreover, it's unbelievable that the commander of the post would employ such an individual!

EVA world.

Ikari Gendo still wore an indifferent expression, unsurprised by Ikari Shinji's cowardice.

But it doesn't matter, as long as the other party can enter the first unit!
