The Godslayer in the Sky of Fate

Ritsuko there was similarly startled by the alarm, and she immediately ordered an emergency abort of the experiment, but the situation was far worse than expected.

"Although channels 60, 38, and 39 are closed, the corrosion is still spreading along the protein walls!" Ibuki Maya ran the emergency program and said, "Sub-Commander Wintermoon has ordered the dispatch of the nano-repair droids and defense droids."

"No!" Hyuga Gung was surprised to receive feedback from the robot and said, "There is a phenomenon similar to the AT force field!"

"Is it an apostle?!" Winter Moon was equally shocked by the results.

"The test waveform is blue!" Aoba shouted, "Apostle! It's the Apostle-"

Central General Control.

"I got it, so I'm counting on you!" Anchorage, who was already sitting at the top command deck, held the red phone and said to whoever he was not sure.

"Turn off the alarm! Change the cause of the accident to a detector error generating false alarms ...... Well, tell the Japanese government and the committee that." Anchorage put down the phone and decisively ordered.

"Understood!" Aoba Shigeru replied.

And Hyuga Gung took over what Aoba Shigeru had just done and continued to report, "The contaminated area continues to expand! It has spread to the entire S-unit area."

"Not a good location! It's too close to the Final Dogma area." Winter Moon said to Anchorage's second ear.

"Keep the pollution contained in Unit S! Even if it means sacrificing the underground metropolis, it doesn't matter." Anchorage said with his arms crossed gloomily.

"What's going on! --" asked Asuka who heard the alert first.

"Internally it has been confirmed that the contamination was caused by the Apostles, but this information has been blocked and the announcement is that an error in the detectors produced a false alarm." Ibuki Maya reported.

"Apostle!" Ritsuko was surprised at the news, but immediately gave an urgent order, "Launch the EVA to the ground immediately!"

"How can you physically attack an apostle without an EVA!" Misato asked hastily.

"If the EVA is contaminated before then, it'll be too late!" Ritsuko explained. Ginas, on the other hand, continued to drink her coffee nonchalantly, neither engaging nor talking much, just showing herself to be an innocent officer.

Miso! Miso! Miso! ---

Three orbital ejections were heard, and the EVA had been ejected from the exits in different directions without a trace.

Ginas drained her coffee, put down her cup, stood up and said, "Let's get out of here too! The place should be eroding into it soon."

"Hmm. Ritsuko. Hurry! Go to Central General Control!" Misato pulls Ibuki Maya up and calls out to Ritsuko, who is still standing in front of the window.

。。。。。。

In the central control area, Hyuga Gung shows Ritsuko what's going on: "The high-depth facility is being controlled by an intruder, and the previous pattern was still anaerobic, but after the ozone was injected, although it had some effect at first, it only took a few minutes for the contamination to expand again, and even faster than before! It seems to have evolutionary powers! And localized physical attacks are not effective, and are blocked by AT force fields. ...... is tentatively assumed to be tiny bacterial colony-type apostles that have formed intelligent circuits in a short period of time and have evolved geometrically, similar to the primary forms of silicon-based life."

Suddenly snow dots started appearing on the big screen as well, and Misato hurriedly asked, "What's going on!"

Ibuki Maya reported, "The secondary computer is in the process of being eroded, eraser unknown! Already starting to read firewalls and perform a lot of simulated login actions! ...... has connected to the Security Department's residential database and is searching for the password!"

"Shut down the IO system." Anchorage ordered directly.

"No! The power won't shut off! --" said Hikaru Gung and Aoba Shigeru after trying the manual procedure.

"Intrusion into MAGI, MELCIOR program rewritten!" Aoba reported with disappointment.

"The MAGI proposal blew itself up and was rejected! Begin to invade and assimilate the second zone through the MAGI third zone." Ibuki Maya panicked and reported, "What to do! ......"

Chapter XXI

Chapter 21

NERV headquarters, everyone was sitting seriously in the small conference room. After the Apostle invasion of MAGI's third district, Ritsuko had decisively changed MAGI's overall logic model in a hurry, changing the synchronization standard to evolve in 15-second increments to slow down the Apostle invasion, but it was only a slowdown, and in about two hours, it would still be a full-scale invasion of MAGI.Now it was considered an emergency battle meeting!

"They are changing all the time, simulating systems that can respond to any situation ......" reported Aoba.

"It's like a system that creatures use to survive!" Winter Moon had the leisure to lament at such times.

"The end of evolution is death!" Ginas said in a plausible manner.

Ritsuko, who seemed to be inspired by the words, said after a moment of silence. "I have a chance of winning if I make the apostle continue to evolve!"

"Are you trying to facilitate its evolution?" Wintermoon asked.

"Yes!" Ritsuko simply replied, and then said to herself, "If the apostles had thought about effectively avoiding death, they might have chosen to live with Magi! ......MAGI ah ......"

"What is to be done?" Hyuga asked.

"Right now the Apostle's target is a computer, allowing CASPER to connect directly to the Apostle, and then we can induce him to evolve and input the self-destruction promotion program." Ritsuko explained, "However, doing so would also open up the existing defensive wall to the Apostle."

"In other words, in the end, it comes down to who's fast?! You're trying to win this once and for all! ...... "Anchorage said with a clear focus.

Although the uninformed Misato had been opposed to it, hoping that the most direct route would be to destroy MAGI along with the apostles. But in the end, Anchorito had pushed through and agreed to Ritsuko's plan.

"Let's act!" Anchorage ordered.

。。。。。。

ANNOUNCEMENT: now issuing an R alert! We have an emergency situation at NERV! Emergency evacuation of duty personnel! Emergency evacuation!!!"

Ka-chow-

Ritsuko inserts the key, opens the case, and raises up on one of the three brains of the MAGI mounted on the main console, the Caspar (Gaspar).

Drilling into the narrow maintenance tunnel left underneath, you see it plastered with codes, ideas, and gold fingers for various repairs.

"Wow! What a find! It's like a MAGI commentary special! That should make it a lot faster!" Ibuki Maya cries out in surprise and delight after touching a note to read.

Ritsuko made it to the very end and started fumbling with her work, while Misato, who had followed her in, asked, "Why did you call me here, didn't you have Ginas? I'm just an idiot! Calling her over should help some!"

"She's better off staying over at the console just in case, after all, Maya and I have come over here." Ritsuko explained.

"Yea." Misato said thoughtfully.

But Misato really didn't need Misato for this kind of technical work, she could only be a punching bag, so Misato boredly asked, "Tell me a little about MAGI!"

"MAGI! The three wise men who are described in the Bible as the three wise men who came to Jerusalem from the East at the time of Christ's birth to give Him gifts, also known as the Three Wise Men of the East, the Three Wise Men, the Magi, and the Warlock, gave Christ gold (representing Christ's authority), myrrh (symbolizing His impending suffering), and frankincense (symbolizing His pure qualities), which are also considered to be the true gifts of Christmas! Origins!" Ritsuko said as she fumbled.

"Christmas present?! Isn't there a Santa Claus?" Misato asked.

"Uh ...... you're not this old to be obsessing about receiving Christmas presents!" Ritsuko asked.

"How...how!" Misato, embarrassed, scratched her head and denied it.

"The current legend of Santa Claus is arguably more of a story of change due to commercial necessity, and Santa's earliest deity would have been Odin, the Norse god of wisdom, art, poetry, and war, who is said to have galloped to the ends of the earth on his eight-legged horse mount in the dead of winter, punishing evil and distributing gifts. He was later incorporated into the existing religious system because of factional disputes within the sect." Ritsuko corrected Misato's Christmas fantasy very unlovingly.

"Wouldn't you be meaningless ......" Misato just muttered when Ritsuko's scowl shot over and Misato hurriedly said, "...... Ah, I was just talking about Magi! Don't talk about Santa!"

"Oh-" Ibuki Maya heard Misato's awkward defense and covered her mouth with a secret smile.
