People who are interested in comics will never die in the Shura field

"Sigh! He doesn't need to participate in this work, and he'll need to receive regular psychological counseling. I hope nothing goes wrong during this time," Misato Katsuragi sighed.

Gendo Ikari is a real bastard.

Misato Katsuragi originally had some respect for this commander-in-chief, but now it seems, how come this old bastard died so late?

Asuka and Rei Ayanami went down to prepare, when Misato Katsuragi suddenly approached Hanajin Yamabuki aggressively.

"What are you trying to do? I'm not interested in older women!" Yamabuki Hanajin said warily.

"You dare say I'm old? I'm not even thirty yet!" Misato Katsuragi gritted her teeth.

"Accept reality. You're already twenty-nine, and next year you'll be turning thirty. Once the New Year's bells ring, you'll be considered an 'auntie'..."

"Stop talking nonsense! For humans, thirty is just youth. I'm a successful young woman!"

"But you're thirty."

"I am the Commander-in-Chief of NERV..."

"But you're thirty."

"I've paid off my mortgage and car loan, and I'm completely financially independent!"

"But you're thirty!"

"I'll fight you to the death!!!" Misato Katsuragi cried as she rushed forward.

The two of them got into a physical fight.

However, Misato Katsuragi was quickly pinned down.

"You actually chose to fight a dragon hand-to-hand? Looks like you're not very bright!" Yamabuki Hanajin smiled smugly.

"Ritsuko! Someone's bullying me! Come save me!" Misato Katsuragi cried out.

“I don’t want to join such a barbaric war. Go check the high-temperature protection equipment. Although the EVA can withstand the high temperature of magma, the pilot can’t.” Ritsuko Akagi instructed the staff next to her.

Misato Katsuragi was pinned to the ground and brutally beaten, finally pounding the ground repeatedly, shouting, "I give up! I give up!"

It took him a lot of effort to get up from the ground.

"Seriously! Even a dinosaur wouldn't be as strong as you, would it?" Misato Katsuragi rubbed her shoulder. "I have something I want to talk to you about. I can tell you can significantly influence those two girls' emotions, so I'd like you to say something encouraging later, is that alright?"

"Of course, no problem. A thirty-year-old auntie!"

"I'm only twenty-nine years old, Ritsuko~~~"

Ritsuko Akagi rubbed her temples.

I'm just your colleague, not your mother. Don't call me every time something happens!

At that moment, Asuka walked over, but her combat suit was filled with heat-resistant material, making her look like a ball.

"Ugh! This looks awful!" Asuka exclaimed, looking at the heat-protective suit with disgust.

"Bear with it for a bit. The surface of Unit 2 must be covered with heat-resistant material. Keep it up." Ritsuko Akagi typed on the keyboard, and the screen showed the status of the Angel Embryo.

“The apostles’ fluctuations are very stable. We can be sure that they won’t hatch anytime soon, so don’t feel any pressure. This is a very simple task,” Ritsuko Akagi said with a smile.

Ritsuko Akagi has been in a good mood lately.

Previously, she had been struggling with whether Gendo Ikari truly loved her or whether he was only using her skills. Ritsuko Akagi had witnessed Gendo Ikari having an affair with her mother, which had a huge impact on her when she was young.

Then she and her mother both fell in love with the same man.

Just when she was most conflicted, Gendo Ikari suddenly died.

All the things that used to bother me suddenly stopped bothering me.

Since the person has already turned into mincemeat, there's no point in dwelling on it.

That's why Ritsuko Akagi was in an unexpectedly good mood and her work efficiency was unexpectedly high.

Sure enough, men are stumbling blocks on my road to success.

Yamabuki Hanajin walked over with a smile, patted Asuka's head, and then lowered his voice to say, "Remember, no matter what happens, you must ensure your safety."

Asuka nodded solemnly, then said with a disdainful look, "It's just catching an embryo, no need to be so nervous. I'm leaving."

At that moment, Rei Ayanami also came over and leaned her head against him.

"What are you..."

"Pat your head," Rei Ayanami said.

Yamabuki Hanakami's eyes darted around aimlessly.

Asuka hasn't gone far yet. If I were to touch Rei Ayanami's head now, I'd be so jealous I'd explode.

Sure enough, Asuka peered out from behind the door, her face half-revealed, staring at Yamabuki Hanajin.

"Pat pat. I'll work even harder." Rei Ayanami looked at Hanako Yamabuki with incredibly innocent eyes.

"Alright, alright." Yamabuki Hanajin almost cried when she felt the resentment emanating from Asuka.

She might not even have as much resentment as Kayako.

But Rei Ayanami was still tilting her head, so Hanako Yamabuki could only pat her little head.

"be careful."

"Hmm." A smile appeared on Rei Ayanami's face.

They ran off happily.

Misato Katsuragi took a deep breath and suddenly reached out to touch Hanako Yamabuki's head: "Being a scumbag woman, it's not easy for you either. Navigating among so many lovely girls!"

"That's what they call experiencing pain and pleasure at the same time!"

Chapter 160: Opening champagne at halftime? Are you guys being polite?

Misato Katsuragi sighed. She only had three pilots under her command, and she had already tricked two of them away by Hanajin Yamabuki. Shinji Ikari, the remaining pilot, was on the verge of collapse. She was under a lot of pressure.

"There's something I need your help with. I think you're pretty good at cheering people up. Could you help talk to Shinji Ikari? That kid's condition is very unstable right now," Misato Katsuragi pleaded, her hands clasped together.

"Ugh? This is so troublesome! If it were a cute girl, I might be able to reluctantly try to persuade her, but I'm not interested in boys at all!" Yamabuki Hanajin looked at Katsuragi Misato with a troubled expression.

"Consider it a favor I owe you, and I'll definitely repay you in the future!" Misato Katsuragi was genuinely worried about Shinji Ikari.

However, Shinji Ikari has now completely closed himself off and is unwilling to communicate with outsiders at all.

"Since you've put it that way, I'll reluctantly help you after the mission is over!" Yamabuki Hanajin's tail kept thumping.

"Commander, Asuka is ready to enter the lava. Please take over command," Ritsuko Akagi said calmly.

Misato Katsuragi immediately went to the vicinity of the various experimental instruments to check on the condition of the Angel embryos.

The Angel Embryo is in a very stable condition with no abnormalities. It seems that what Asuka needs to do is use the capture cage to bring the embryo back for research.

Everyone stared at the scene beneath the lava. Fortunately, the apostle embryo made no move and was obediently captured, which relieved everyone in the command room.

The staff members all had smiles on their faces, indicating that nothing went wrong. This was the first time they had captured a living apostle, which was definitely an epoch-making event in human history.

"Asuka! Prepare to surface. Well done," Misato Katsuragi commanded.

Asuka watched the capture cage in Unit 2's hand warily as it slowly rose to the surface.

"I didn't expect the mission to be so easy! Commander, how about we grab a drink after get off work? I've prepared some champagne," Ritsuko Akagi said with a smile.

"That's awesome! Cough cough cough! We're still working, it's not right for us to open champagne halfway through." Misato Katsuragi looked at the screen with a serious expression, but she was already overjoyed inside.

Someone invited me for drinks, what a stroke of luck!

But just when everyone let their guard down, the alarm suddenly went off, and the entire command center was filled with the piercing sound of the alarm.

The crowd, who were preparing to pop champagne at halftime, immediately focused on the screen, where they saw the apostle embryo in the capture cage begin to grow at an extremely rapid pace.

"What happened? Why is the apostle embryo, which has been silent for so long, growing so fast?" Ritsuko Akagi shouted.

The researchers nearby turned pale; they had no idea what had happened, but the champagne had been opened too early.

In crucial moments, Misato Katsuragi remained the calmest.

She realized that the Angel was about to take shape, and that capturing it alive was no longer an option. She immediately instructed Asuka, "Abandon the capture cage immediately, return to the shore, and prepare for battle."

But as soon as Misato Katsuragi finished speaking, the apostle had already grown to its complete form.

The eighth apostle, the Angel of the Womb, makes his appearance.

This thing looks a bit like a mantis shrimp, but it has a lot of weird tentacles on its body, which makes people feel physically uncomfortable.

"Asuka, come up here quickly!" Misato Katsuragi shouted.

To allow the second unit to move within the lava, it was covered in a layer of heat-resistant material, and therefore carried no weapons.

Fighting the apostles under these circumstances would be extremely disadvantageous!

Asuka knew the situation was bad, so she immediately released the cage and prepared to float to the surface.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the capture cage was shattered by the fetal angel. Moreover, the fetal angel had an extremely strong ability to adapt, and in the blink of an eye, it adapted to the high temperature of the magma and began to swim rapidly in the magma.

In comparison, the speed of Unit 2 is far inferior to that of the Angel.

Visibility was very low due to the lava, and the angel vanished right in front of Asuka after just turning around.

Asuka's entire body was tense, but unfortunately, she had no weapons on her body and was wrapped in a thick layer of heat-resistant material, making it impossible for her to unleash her true power.

"Asuka is in danger! Rei Ayanami, drop the weapons down immediately!" Misato Katsuragi gave the order.

Rei Ayanami piloted Unit-00 and dropped Unit-02's high-frequency vibrating blade down into the lava.

Asuka controls Unit-02, raising her hand high, hoping to get the weapon as quickly as possible.

But at that moment, the fetal angel rushed over.

The enormous body was like a blob of black ink plastered on Unit-02. Asuka immediately retaliated, punching the Angel's head, but the resistance beneath the magma was immense, and the high-temperature-resistant material further hampered the punch, preventing it from exerting its full power.

It's like someone wearing a heavy down jacket trying to box underwater; their strength and speed are naturally far inferior to those with their feet firmly on the ground.

The Angel was only slightly knocked back by the punch. After recovering, it stepped forward again and tightly wrapped its tentacles around Unit 2.

"Where's the sword?! Hasn't it arrived yet?" Asuka shouted.

At this moment, the high-frequency vibrating blade had just fallen halfway down, and Asuka could only struggle to hold on underwater.

As the high-frequency vibrating blade slowly descended, Asuka immediately reached out to catch it, but the Angel extended a tentacle and knocked the blade away.

"Oh no!" Misato Katsuragi's face was grave. Unit-00 didn't have any heat-resistant materials, and it was still unknown whether it would be damaged if it went down into the magma.

At this moment, the tentacles of the Fetal Angel had torn through the heat-resistant material on Unit 2, and Unit 2's body was completely exposed to the magma!

"boom!!!"

Just as everyone was staring at the monitor, at a loss, a sonic boom suddenly appeared beside them, and Yamabuki Hanajin crashed through the roof of the base and flew into the sky!

It then transformed into a giant dragon and swooped down towards the volcano below.

"Are you crazy! Even mythical creatures can't withstand the high temperature of magma!" Misato Katsuragi shouted.

"boom!!!"

The Yamabuki Flower Ashes have already rushed down below, splashing up large amounts of lava!

At first, I thought the Yamabuki Flower Ashes would be a bit hot, but it turned out to be just warm.

Sure enough, how could a dragon be afraid of lava?

The enormous body stirred up the magma below and approached the Angel of the Womb at incredible speed.

At this moment, Unit 2 was completely under the control of the Angel of the Fetal Realm, which raised its tentacles to pierce through Unit 2's head.

Although it won't harm Asuka, some of the pain from having her head pierced will be transmitted to her.

Yamabuki Hanajin realized that it was too late to rush over with her speed. In desperation, she opened her mouth wide, and a huge magic circle appeared in front of her.

"Dragon Breath!"

The scorching dragon breath burned away the nearby magma, and with devastating force, it slammed into the fetal angel.

The fetal angel let out a strange scream and plunged into the abyss of the volcano.
