Chapter 171 I Will Attack as a Music Angel

A week later, SEELE detected the energy reaction of the Sixth Apostle in the southern Pacific Ocean, near the South Pole. The satellite took a photo. Although it was blurry, the whole picture of the huge creature could still be seen.

It came to the surface of the sea, opened its mouth to breathe, and then dived into the deep sea, splashing huge waves.

SEELE immediately launched an investigation. This time, they did not lose the Sixth Apostle. The radar detected the huge creature. It kept going back and forth around the South Pole, as if looking for something.

The Soul Seat lit up, and the old people sat at the conference table.

"It just so happens that the heretic came here at this time, and he might be looking for the Spear of Longnukis."

"He and that man worked at NERV, so it's not surprising that he knows the plan to recover the Holy Spear."

"Stupid, the Holy Spear is not something that the heretic can touch!"

"We can't let the heretic interfere with the recovery of the Holy Spear!" Speaker Keel said solemnly: "The Holy Spear is as important as Unit-01 in the plan!"

"Immediately send fighters and fleets to determine the location of the heretic, and make sure that Ikari Gendō's troops avoid the heretic!"

Soon, under the mobilization of SEELE, they sent a large number of troops to monitor the movements of the Fish Angel throughout the process.

Fighters and ships appeared in that sea area, and even those who were inside the Fish Angel could clearly detect that many people had arrived.

"They are really here." Ryoji Kaji stared at the computer screen.

A week later, the interior of the Fish Angel had changed drastically.

Hanji and Ian led the team to build a small workshop here to restore the three-dimensional mobile device.

Ian built many crystal walls, dividing the interior of the fish angel into several different areas. In order to manufacture the parts of the three-dimensional machine, they even built a simple iron smelting furnace in one area.

The heat source of the iron smelting furnace comes directly from electricity. The electric furnace steelmaking method is a new technology that Ian learned during his tenure at NERV. He and Hanji shared information about the technology. Hanji successfully replicated it on Paradis Island. The two worked together to transform the interior of the fish angel.

The materials needed for iron smelting all come from the ruins under the sea.

Because of the rise in sea levels, many cities have been submerged, and there are a lot of scrap steel left there. Levi led the members of the Survey Corps to sneak into those places together, salvage the usable steel, and then smelt it into molten iron through the iron smelting furnace, and solidify it into parts for the three-dimensional machine.

The molds for the solidified parts were provided by Ian, and the more delicate and small parts were also made by him personally.

Ian, who has worked in the nuclear industrial zone for two years, is very skilled in this. They have successfully restored dozens of stereoscopic devices. Now, the only things missing are guns, ammunition, fuel and silk threads for ejection.

"SEELE is recovering the Spear of Longnokis in Antarctica. In order to prevent us from interfering with their plans, they will definitely send troops to stop us." Ian said.

"I didn't expect that the recovery of the Spear of Longnokis has not been completed yet. Commander Ikari has been on a business trip for more than a month. I thought he had taken the Spear of Longnokis away a long time ago." Ryoji Kaji touched his trouser pocket, took out a pack of cigarettes, lit it, and took a puff.

Those were cigarettes looted from the wreckage of the second branch.

Food and water are still sufficient for now. After all, only he, Ian and Shinji need to consume these resources. Those crystal people don't need to eat or drink. Their energy supply comes directly from the S2 agency.

"According to my intelligence, the recovery of the Spear of Longnukis can only be completed after the appearance of the Ninth Apostle." Ian stared at the image on the radar: "So as long as we get close to the Antarctic, SEELE will definitely react."

"Move to the periphery, we just borrow some weapons and fuel, and an arresting rope is enough for us to complete the three-dimensional maneuvering device!"

The Pacific Fleet sailed on the sea, and helicopters hovered in the nearby airspace. They followed orders to look for traces of the apostles here.

The sea surface was blood red. The closer to the Antarctic, the redder the sea. Since the second impact, the sea here has become what it is now.

There is no life here. The second impact destroyed everything near the Antarctic.

"Radar detected a fast-moving object! A suspected target appeared!"

"What's the direction?"

"It's approaching rapidly, coming towards us!"

"Report immediately!"

The captain gave the order, and at the same time, the fish angel jumped out of the water.

The two-hundred-meter behemoth jumped high, like a high jumper, and jumped over the top of the aircraft carrier, and the shadow enveloped everyone.

"I will attack in the form of a music angel!"

Ian, who had been lurking under the fish angel, let go of his hand and fell with the Survey Corps led by Levi.

He cut open his palm, blood flowed out, golden lightning flashed, and the music angel quickly took shape.

In order to avoid crushing the aircraft carrier, he controlled his body shape.

The music angel fell heavily, and the crystallized human version of the Survey Corps, which was full of energy at the S2 mechanism, stepped on the arms and back of the music angel and slid onto the deck like riding a slide.

The sudden heavy blow made the aircraft carrier bump up and down, circles of waves splashed out, and the idle fighters on the ship slid down.

"Take away the guns and ammunition!" Levi shouted.

They only had close combat blades made of crystals in their hands, and no long-range weapons, so they should have been at a disadvantage in the battle.

But they were not without the advantage of leading. It was not their main body that attacked the ship, that is, they had no worries, no need to worry about being injured or killed.

Ian covered them and attracted a lot of firepower.

Levi led the troops to attack, like a sharp knife cutting into the center of the enemy. They only had one thing to do, and when they met a soldier, they went forward and stripped all his equipment, including guns, bulletproof vests, bullets, grenades, in short, whatever they had.

A young man was frightened when he saw a group of crystal people rushing towards him, but in the end he found that he was not injured because he was stunned in place, but those friendly forces who resisted were knocked unconscious by the heavy blow.

He lost his clothes and pants without any injury, and finally wore only a pair of cotton pants and a sweater in the wind of minus 15 degrees.

Those people were good, and did not take away the sweater knitted by his mother.

Ian used the AT force field to defend against the missiles in the sky. He knew that SEELE would not use N2. The last battle proved that N2 had limited effect. SEELE had to determine his position so that it could protect the Spear of Longnukis. Using N2 would only interfere with the line of sight.

From SEELE's perspective, if he could grasp his movements, the operation would be successful.
