Chapter 819

If this were said out loud, tens of billions of Christians around the world would cry like idiots.

Glancing at the still-calm buoy, Asuka sighed: "So, since the Second Impact, life in the ocean has been unable to survive. You won't catch any fish."

The young man remained unmoved and smiled contemptuously: "Who says? Didn't it just take the bait?"

Hmm?

Asuka was stunned. The buoy on the sea surface actually sank slightly, then suddenly sank sharply, the fishing line tightened abruptly, and the huge force even caused the surrounding tens of meters to shake.

How big of a fish is this?

A blue whale?

How did it survive in this day and age?

With three questions in her mind, she saw the sea surface moving more and more violently, her expression changed, and she shouted: "You aren't fishing for an Apostle, are you?!!"

"Come up!"

The young man grabbed the fishing rod she bought for twenty-three dollars and gave it a shake.

"Didn't I say there were fish?"

The next moment.

Amidst the dull gazes of thousands of people in the surrounding aircraft carrier fleet, thousands of meters of sea area exploded, and a behemoth resembling a manta ray shot into the sky, carrying the vast blue seawater, tearing through the clouds, and obscuring the sky.

The droplets of water were crystal clear, reflecting the brilliant golden sunlight, making the moment appear epic.

"This isn't a question of whether it's a fish or not, is it?"

Asuka shouted directly, watching the magnificent beast, at least three hundred meters square and weighing millions of tons, fall like a fish thrown onto the shore, her whole person suffocating.

But this isn't the shore.

This is just a 100,000-ton aircraft carrier.

Even if it weren't an Apostle, such a behemoth falling from ten thousand meters in the sky would cause a huge explosion on the sea surface within ten kilometers, and the aircraft carrier fleet spread out within a dozen kilometers would be finished.

Let alone a fourteen-year-old girl like her.

Even ace spies like Ryoji Kaji nearby had their brains go blank for a moment.

The pressure of such a giant object pressing down is something mortals simply cannot bear.

After a full two seconds, when the giant object was less than three hundred meters from their heads and was right before their eyes in their vision.

The calm and composed figure just said one word lightly: "Small."

The behemoth that blotted out the sky and sun, seemingly magnified ten million times, shrank in the wind and contracted rapidly.

By the time it approached the deck, it had become a small fish the size of a palm, falling into the fish basket beside the young man, flapping constantly, quite full of vitality.

Silence.

It took a long time for a sound of gasping to be heard.

Even though they had heard of it, this kind of word-spirit that was like the law of heaven and earth was simply too shocking and too far beyond understanding.

"This... this wouldn't be the Sixth Apostle, Gaghiel, would it?"

Asuka looked at the palm-sized little bat-fish in the basket, swallowed her saliva, and almost thought the suffocating scene just now was a hallucination.

"Maybe? It doesn't matter, it's all the same anyway."

Brother Luo Shu stretched and glanced at Asuka: "It's only because you aren't my employee yet; otherwise, with this kind of courage, I would have kicked your butt long ago."

"You..."

Asuka's face turned red, and she subconsciously protected her butt and took a step back.

After these days of contact, she knew clearly that this god with a nasty sense of humor wasn't just talking.

"I'm not piloting an EVA; facing something like that crashing down, anyone would panic, right?"

Saying this, she signaled to Ryoji Kaji with her eyes.

But Ryoji Kaji lowered his head respectfully.

If the young man didn't speak, he was just a rock, just background.

"Tsk, strongest~~"

Brother Luo Shu looked at her with squinted eyes.

Immediately, a tic-tac-toe mark appeared on Asuka's forehead, but she didn't want to make excuses anymore and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, I remember, how did the Apostle take the bait? Do fish-shaped Apostles eat bait?"

Ryoji Kaji also pricked up his ears.

If they knew how to lure Apostles, it would be much easier to deal with them.

"Eh?"

The young man looked at them in surprise, dug a small placenta out of the fish's mouth and shook it: "You are escorting this thing and don't know? Use Adam's embryo! Apostles are born from Adam, so they have always been trying to return to Adam!"

"Hmm... hmm?!!!"

Everyone present was dumbfounded.

The amount of information was too large.

After a long time, Asuka hesitated and said: "So the Apostles kept appearing in Japan and attacking NERV because..."

"Because they thought Adam was under NERV!"

The young man thought for a while and touched his chin: "That's not quite right either. There are several Adams, one of which was made into Unit-13 by Gendo Ikari, and it is at NERV, so the Apostles didn't find the wrong place."

Asuka's scalp went numb.

She realized that she really knew nothing about this world, and couldn't help but ask: "So Commander Ikari... what is Gendo Ikari's goal?"

Ryoji Kaji, who had been investigating, pricked up his ears.

Everyone already knew about SEELE's ambition.

It seemed that Gendo Ikari, the white glove SEELE put on the surface, didn't seem important anymore.

But he always felt that Gendo Ikari and SEELE were in harmony on the surface but at odds in their hearts, and he definitely had his own plans.

What could it be?

Kick SEELE away, monopolize the results, and become the only god?

Or is it a funny undercover agent who became the boss on the surface, but is actually trying to destroy SEELE's conspiracy?

Or perhaps there is power that can only be realized with the power of a god, such as the world and.....

"To see his wife again."

The young man said casually: "He probably thinks that only Yui Ikari can understand him, so he hopes to exchange the whole of humanity for Yui Ikari, and he and Yui Ikari will become the Adam and Eve of the new world."

Shu Ouma would call that professional.

(From Guilty Crown, same routine.)

"Ha————?!!"

Asuka opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

Ryoji Kaji also hesitated: "If I didn't observe wrongly, Dr. Akagi should be his mistress, right?"

So he doesn't look like such a deep-feeling person at all.

He felt that such a man was just using women to deal with his desires, and his eyes should be full of ambition.

Wanting to resurrect his wife is understandable, but you want to resurrect your wife because you think only your wife can understand you?

And only who can understand me, Adam and Eve of the new world, etc... what a middle-aged case of eighth-grader syndrome~~

Wait, Adam?

Ryoji Kaji slowly lowered his head and looked at the small placenta in the young man's hand.

Just now, this god-level adult was using Adam to fish for Apostles?

If he remembered correctly, the contact between Adam and an Apostle would trigger the Third Impact and exterminate humanity, right?

Asuka also thought of this and shouted in lingering fear: "What do you take other people's lives for? Pay attention, will you?"

She realized that knowing this guy had shortened her life by at least three years.

"Relax, relax, generally there won't be any problems."

The young man shook the Adam in his hand, showing the thin layer of film wrapped around the outside.

Asuka breathed a sigh of relief, but looked at it with some suspicion: "This should be some divine artifact you made, not a plastic bag you bought somewhere, right?"

"Uh..."

The young man turned his head away with a guilty conscience.

Just then.

A soldier in the distance whispered to his companion: "Who took my coffee bag? The high-quality coffee beans I bought are all spilled on the table."

Asuka: "(??)!"

Ryoji Kaji didn't make a sound, as if he were background. ===== CHAPTER 820 =====
