Filial piety: the supreme emperor

"No, no, when I first stepped into this quantum battlefield, I vowed to win. Now I am talking about regrets. This is not like me."

Sakura Kyoko slapped the virtual helmet, as if to give herself motivation.

Knowing that fighting would accelerate the entropy of the soul core, and knowing that I would lose the source of sorrow, I could have chosen to evacuate.

But why does she persist, why does she still fight?

"Whether it's Quantum Kyubey or the Holy Grail, since I'm praying for hope, I can't give up first...!"

That's right, Sakura Kyoko firmly believed it.

However, her actions touched Ikari Shinji, who was already in a fragile mental state and was in a state of anger.

Are you ready for the battle?

Shinji Ikari's eyes suddenly widened, and his expression twisted involuntarily. Without even noticing it himself, the pervasive dark quantum cloud quickly filled the cockpit.

The Avenger in the Holy Grail War is no ordinary class, and its erosion of the mind far exceeds the Berserker's Quantum Madness skill.

After all, going berserk to EX is nothing more than an enhancement of obsession; if it were E level, it would at most affect verbal expression.

The Avenger class is different, it symbolizes the darkest heart of the summoned Heroic Spirit. Therefore, Ikari Shinji is not in a normal state at this moment, and his heart is shrouded in shadow.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang like thunder, and with the operation of Shinji Ikari, the image of Unit-01 disappeared on the spot, leaving only two deep pits caused by the explosion of huge force.

What is the difference between attacking now and attacking just now?

I haven't been attacked yet.

The next moment, the dust raised by Unit-01 rushed towards Sakura Anko like a tide, and Unit-01 appeared above her head.

Under the control of Shinji Ikari, Unit-01 raised its right leg and smashed down with the force of a meteorite.

No matter how magical the heroic spirit is, mortals cannot withstand such an attack.

In fact, I knew that taking the initiative could end the battle instantly.

Maybe I have been waiting for this moment, waiting for the moment when she is emotionally stable and regains her confidence.

Would destroying a girl like this help dispel the haze in my heart?

I think so.

what.

I am so terrible.

Then crush this girl——

No one knows whether Shinji Ikari is still himself at this moment.

Perhaps the negative impact of the Avenger class has caused him to lose himself, or perhaps the boy's heart has closed again before stepping into the battlefield of the Holy Grail War.

Now, it was as if another personality was controlling his body, while the real him curled up in the corner of his mind and whispered, "It's okay, I can make it."

...When Sakura Kyoko looked up at the huge figure that blocked her view, she herself was not sure if she could withstand the initial impact of A venger.

The quantum chain gun in her hand did not drop, but swung it towards the giant beast in the sky. At the same time, thirteen red shadows appeared behind her, and the chain guns in their hands attacked at the same time.

The result was already predetermined for her.

But what was most important to her was to hold on until the very end no matter what.

Several chain guns intertwined into a giant net in mid-air. The constantly vibrating chain guns set deadly traps in the air. Sakura Anko's strong fighting will made her shine unexpectedly in this offensive and defensive battle.

It can be asserted that if Unit 01 really fell straight into this giant net, its power would be exhausted along the way and then slowly strangled by Sakura Anko.

Yes, if.

But there is no if in reality. Although Sakura Kyoko has a strong fighting spirit, she cannot overcome the huge gap in strength between the two.

Just as Unit-01 was falling with tremendous force and was about to touch the vibrating chain gun net, a huge golden polygonal protective shield suddenly appeared on the surface of Unit-01.

"ATFIELD".

This is the name of the polygonal shield, called the Absolute Quantum Field, also known as the Wall of Mind, or the AT Field.

The horror of Unit-01 lies not only in the fact that each of its individuals is a copy of an Angel and possesses devastating combat capabilities.

What's more, it has AT field.

The battlefield of the Holy Grail War is not a hot-blooded anime, and there is no accidental skill like Mu Yi's [Reached the Realm] on Sakura Anko's data panel.

The AT field of Unit-01 and even its functions, including the attributed abilities granted by the Holy Grail system, far surpass Sakura Kyoko's "enlightenment".

The killing net constructed by the chain gun was broken through by Unit-01. At this point, when the Noble Phantasm or combat capability was completely suppressed, defeat was inevitable.

Sakura Kyoko understood that this battlefield of the Holy Grail War was just like the reality she lived in, with no miracles, no coincidences, and no gods.

Expectations are unreliable after all. When you go back, you can only rely on yourself to save that righteous fool.

however--

If it weren't for Sakura Kyoko's strong fighting will to build a huge chain gun network, the red side Lancer should have been eliminated here, and this is a fact that should have been announced.

A second passed, and Sakura Kyoko was still alive.

This may be a coincidence, or a miracle. But in fact, it is the inevitable result of the wonderful fate woven in the Holy Grail War.

Has God come?

Of course not, the only ones who can disrupt the Holy Grail battlefield are the Servants.

Sakura Kyoko opened her mouth slightly, speechless. Her sight was occupied by another huge mecha, which tightly blocked the falling Unit-01. She could even see the deep dents on the mecha's huge beam shield.

Of course she knew who it was, because she had seen him use this huge armor before...

Just think about it, when a 14-year-old girl is facing an interstellar disaster, what would she feel when a warrior like this comes in a super-time and space mecha and closely guards her behind him?

Sakura Kyoko's first mission is to escape from this vortex of star wars. She does not want to escape, but she knows that if she stays, she will only become a burden to Rider.

As she rushed, crystal interstellar dust drifted in the void. However, the tears at this moment were probably different from those that fell in despair in the past.

...

Kira Yamato felt a little relieved as he watched Sakura Kyoko go away, but in fact, his current situation was not optimistic.

"Enough, stop attacking!"

Inside the Strike Freedom Suit, Kira Yamato's voice was quantum-encoded, but Unit-01 naturally ignored it.

Normally, the Strike Freedom's quantum shield will automatically adjust to a safe range, as the power at its edge is equivalent to that of a built-in quantum blade.

However, Kira Yamato's rescue operation was too hasty, and his posture and position were not good.

At this moment, in order to completely withstand the impact of Unit-01, his quantum shield has exceeded the safety limit, and part of the mecha structure has been slightly damaged.

...

Tsk, who on earth is this guy——

It's clearly a desperate situation, so why does a savior-like being appear?

'Ikari Shinji' had not expected things to develop like this, which made him quite annoyed.

Does praying to the cosmic consciousness really work?

'Ikari Shinji' was a little confused at the moment, and even jealousy was quietly growing in his heart, followed by endless anger.

So, when I tried my best to save her and prayed sincerely to the cosmic consciousness, why didn’t I see the savior come?

Ultimately, what sprouted in the heart of the Avenger 'Ikari Shinji' was boundless madness.

——Go and perish!

...

Kira Yamato saw that the other party had no intention of stopping, so he stopped talking. Although the quantum shield caused minor damage to the mecha, it was more than enough to maintain the status quo.

As time goes by, the situation will only become more favorable to him.

The reason is simple. Unit-01 is falling, while the Strike Freedom Gundam is suspended in the air with the help of the quantum propulsion system.

The opponent was able to suppress him briefly at this moment, relying only on his own strength and the gravitational potential energy of the fall. Kira Yamato saw at a glance that Unit-01 was not equipped with the same quantum propulsion system as the Strike Freedom.

However, the opponent's attack had been blocked by him, and he had nowhere to gain leverage in the air. But he could rely on the propulsion system to continue exerting force, and once the opponent's falling potential energy was offset, it would be time to push back on the opponent.

Kira Yamato's judgment was accurate. If Unit-01 was just an ordinary technological product, it would have been easily defeated.

However, this is not the case with Unit-01.

The golden polygonal AT force field appeared again at the collision point between Unit-01 and Strike Freedom's quantum shield, but this time, the number of polygons formed increased dramatically.

The AT force field is actually a phase transfer space. When the absolute field is affected by external factors (mainly attacks), the soul matter in it will move, causing the overall phase to change. Unit-01 uses this as a means of defense.

At the same time, by utilizing the ability of soul matter to move freely within the absolute domain, it is also possible to manipulate a large amount of soul matter to exert pressure (attack) on targets within the domain.

The Strike Freedom Gundam was caught off guard by the strong pressure of Unit-01's AT force field, instantly lost its balance, and fell to the ground.

However, before 'Ikari Shinji' could smile, the Strike Freedom adjusted its balance in the short falling distance, and its two MA-M02G "Super Tiger Scorpion" quantum blades instantly unfolded, colliding violently with the golden polygonal AT force field of Unit-.

The Strike Freedom and Unit-01 retreated at the same time, and both pilots frowned.

Kira Yamato originally thought that the opponent's golden polygonal shield was just a variation of the "Umbrella of Artemis" of the Eurasian Federation from another universe, but after the actual attack, he realized that he was too naive.

This is a new technology that has never been seen before, and whether it can be broken by a quantum blade remains unknown.

Not only the unknown shield, Kira Yamato has now sensed something strange from the opponent's huge purple giant.

Kira Yamato, who has fought against countless mechas, could not determine whether the purple giant in front of him was really a product of technology.

Kira Yamato kept this strange feeling in mind. It was not surprising that the other party came from a different world. The most important thing at the moment was to think about how to defeat this enemy.

The reason why 'Ikari Shinji' frowned was much simpler, because Unit-01 retreated.

This means that the AT field did not completely neutralize the opponent's attack. The reason why it retreated was because Unit-01 actually took the impact.

To bear the impact means that the body will be damaged. If it is damaged, the fighting time will be shortened.

The shorter the battle time, the more...

'Ikari Shinji' shuddered suddenly, and he realized that he couldn't think about this question any more.

"boom!"

There was another loud bang, and Unit-01 rushed towards the Strike Freedom, instantly closing the distance between the two machines. It then stretched out its right arm and quickly grabbed the Strike Freedom.

"call out!"

Kira Yamato was, after all, one of the most outstanding Gundam pilots in his universe, and the action of Unit-01 was well within his expectations. The Shining Carrier behind the Strike Freedom was quickly activated, leaping hundreds of kilometers in just a moment, leaving only the whistling sound of breaking through the air.
