Chapter 867

From the Third Tokyo City where Kobe was located, to Osaka, then to Nagoya.

The entire crust was lifted, exposing the tough mantle layer, then quickly disappeared as if weathered away.

One ten-thousandth of a second later, even Tokyo and Hokkaido were "blown" away; the entire Pacific Ocean was missing a piece, forming a sky-filling dust cloud rolling back.

On the other side of the Pacific.

It "snowed" in the Federation.

From Alaska, it covered Canada, the Federation's mainland, and even the entire Americas.

A few seconds later.

The vision went black, and everything came to an abrupt end.

Clearly, under the roar of Magatano-Orga, this world had already crumbled, and humanity was completely extinct.

This time, even the people of Earth following Iori Kitahara's perspective were silent.

They had seen higher-level Old One-level existences, but it had exceeded their scope of understanding, and thus they lacked a sense of reality.

They had also witnessed, and even fought against, the second-step senior gods who were a grade weaker.

But essentially, they were in a crippled state, and by the time they recovered, they were instantly killed by the descending Servants, so they hadn't experienced it clearly.

But at this moment...

Is this a third-step superior god?

This is too damn outrageous.

It's too much stronger, isn't it?

No wonder the Ancient King Carthage, the only one in the Ghoul world to reach this level, could take on forty-eight and suppress them all by dismembering them.

"No, that Magatano-Orga is definitely not an ordinary third-step superior god; it must have already promoted to the fourth step."

Someone said with a trembling voice.

"Grass, fourth step? That means the six great Demon God Beasts are one step further, making them the supreme gods?"

Kirito, who had just returned from a date with his country girlfriend, felt his heart jump.

The Main God level is actually the fifth step, also belonging to the range of supreme gods.

It's just that they have reached the end and undergone some kind of qualitative change.

But the scale of power is about the same.

That is to say, supreme gods also possess the great power to shatter a planet in one blow; if focused into a beam of light, they could even string the eight planets together and pierce directly through the solar system.

(This is like how a grenade cannot shatter a car, but a Barrett, which has only one percent of its energy, can pierce through four or five cars.

In fact, because of the existence of gravity, the gap between exploding a planet and piercing a planet is much, much larger than this.)

And although the third step and fourth step both belong to superior gods.

The scale of power is a huge gap apart.

It is an outrageous gap between targeting a continent and targeting the surface.

And the performance of Orga in destroying the world is clearly already at the fourth step.

"The Fire Demon God Beast Maga-Pandon is also outrageous; instantly evaporating the archipelago is equivalent to a million Tsar Bombas, and that's just the power naturally overflowing. What the hell are we supposed to fight with?"

"So, historically, at this point in time, how did they survive?"

"Magical Girls, that big shot Madoka Kaname and Homura Akemi."

"........"

Many viewers couldn't help but complain: "Don't talk about needing to defeat them to get the Class Card; even if they directly inherited the power of a Servant, they aren't the Servants themselves. Can Magical Girls really defeat this thing?"

Others also had lingering fears: "Yeah, as the god's true body, the scale of this thing's power is clearly much more outrageous than a Servant, at least much stronger than a Servant with a normal Spirit Origin."

It's like poison; talking about toxicity without talking about dosage is just being a hooligan.

Humans and elephants are both mortal beings, but can a human win a fistfight against an elephant?

They were full of confidence in the great figures of history and the Heroic Spirits.

After all, those were synonymous with miracles that went down in history.

It's equivalent to picking up weapons and relying on extreme operations; it's still possible to exhaust an elephant to death.

But Iori Kitahara is not a Heroic Spirit.

You want to take on an elephant with a small knife?

With this question, one world line after another appeared before people.

It turned out that the ancestor of humanity, or rather the ancestor of the 18th Apostle Li Lin, Lilith, had always been under NERV.

Even Adam had always been in the hands of humans, and even the World Tree; all the foundations of this world were in human hands.

It was just that due to the greed of certain Judases among humans, these foundations never turned into real, tangible power for humanity.

Facing the Demon God Beasts, they were so powerless and desperate.

Finally, they arrived at a desperate world line.

This world was already in 2015, but there was no scene of rapid global development and deformed prosperity after the trauma in their memories.

Instead, it was a scene of devastation, with Apostles and monsters the size of mountains wandering the earth, destroying cities and civilizations.

Pain, despair, bleakness, wailing...

A hellish scene.

But human history is a hymn of courage; humans never gave up, and mottled, vicissitudinous Evas stood on the earth.

Constantly charging and killing between Apostles and monsters, venting anger and hatred; whether it was Apostles or monsters, they would drive them all out, leaving none behind!

It's just that human power has its limits.

Even if Demon God Beasts were blocked by Magical Girls, the remaining monsters and Apostles were not something humans could fight.

Death.

One pilot after another, male or female, old or young, died.

Withering.

One Eva unit after another had its armor torn open and withered away while being gnawed on by the various Apostles and monsters.

Finally.

As comrades kept falling and the number of humans trended toward zero, a disheveled man hummed a song and walked through metal doors that had once been heavily guarded.

He arrived at the most mysterious place under NERV, standing before the huge white body of the mother goddess known as Lilith, the origin of humanity.

In the hesitant gaze of all the viewers, he bloomed an AT Field, his body slowly floating up toward the silent mother goddess nailed to the cross.

He raised his head and chuckled.

"Corrupted by Apostles, as a descendant of Adam, I should be enough to serve as a sacrifice, right?"

Under the disheveled hair was a face everyone was familiar with.

Ryoji Kaji.

Even though it was also 2015, this version of him was so vicissitudinous he seemed to have entered old age; only that pair of eyes, that pair of eyes burning with flames, shone blindingly bright.

Without hesitation.

In the gaze of everyone, he swept his large hand, and a storm rolled out the Spear of Longinus that pierced the mother goddess's heart, stuffing a section into the white giant's hand.

Then, remembering something, he revealed a gentle smile, and finally, facing the divine spear in the white giant's hand, he opened his chest, revealing the scarlet S2 engine in his heart, laughing wildly.

"A world without humans has no meaning for existence... Scum, wait..."

"... for humanity's wrath!!!"

Clang!

The scarlet divine spear pierced the core.

The ritual was complete!!

In everyone's vision, a holy song sounded from somewhere; the ground tore apart in an instant, and the white giant slowly floated upward.

A vortex rippled from the top of Lilith's head, sweeping past high mountains and lakes, spreading toward the entire world.

Under the shroud of the blood-colored vortex.

Cyan crosses shot up from between skyscrapers; the AT Fields binding the remaining human forms shattered instantly, orange liquid splashed out, but in the next moment, it expanded and rose from the ground...

One by one, blood-colored Lilith Apostles 【Li Lin】 in the shape of Evas stood on the earth, hissing and roaring, as if still retaining the anger from when they were human, and under the illumination of the mother goddess Lilith's light, they charged toward the monsters and Apostles...

Where humans who had all turned into Apostles (Evas) would go, and if wisdom were to be born again years later, whether they would remember the memories of when they were 【human】, and remember those familiar people, no one knew.

The moment they lost their human bodies, the tributary of the long river of human history had already collapsed and dissipated.

But everyone finally understood...

For them, the most precious thing about that illusory world line of the Lord God might not be the increase in potential, but this equation leading to victory.

(This world line of Eva can indeed be considered everyone becoming a god; after all, they all became immortal Evas.)
