"Forget it, I just felt it. The time is coming soon, let's get ready to insert the plug." Shinji Ikari stood up.

"Wait." Rei Ayanami called him.

"What?"

"Even if it's a 'god'," Ayanami said, "you can defeat it."

"I'd like to lend you some good words." Shinji Ikari waved his hand and walked off the restraint rack.

——

[Elemental Hero: Electro, Attack: 1600, Defense: 1400]

【Electric light gun】

It's not surprising, or rather, it's not surprising at all.

Shinji Ikari summoned Electro - a lanky "hero" in blue clothes and golden armor. Although he looked very human-like, he could be called metal - and then equipped him with a lightning gun.

[Kuri Kuri!] Chestnut Ball waved its little claws desperately.

"[Shinji-kun! Zero! A high-energy reaction occurs within the apostle!]"

Ever since he aimed that positron cannon at the fifth apostle, the duel disk appeared automatically, obviously entering a battle, but since the opponent chose to wait and see what happens, Shinji Ikari didn't mind waiting for an extra two minutes.

I'm waiting for a card draw, what are you waiting for?

As expected, when Electro appeared on the stage, the fifth apostle, who had transformed into a giant red dragon, opened the first mouth on its head and threw a ball of lightning straight at him.

At first, the Bubble Man just ate this and disappeared immediately, but that was because the distance was too close and there was no time to react. But now, with such a far distance, the thunderball would have to fly for a while, so now he

Can--

Activate the electric light gun effect to change the enemy monster into defense position!

"[Kakaka——]" The giant red dragon roared unwillingly, lay down, and the thunderball that flew halfway disappeared.

"[Uh, wait, Shinji-kun, it was a false alarm just now. The high-energy reaction in the apostle's body disappeared.]"

That was not a false alarm, Shinji Ikari raised his hand to draw the card.

[Elemental Hero·Bubble Man]

He hesitated and did not try to summon it.

When the distance is too far to engage in close combat, the positron cannon is the only means of attack. If you continue to summon monsters and let them send out thunderballs aimed at new monsters, causing the positron cannon to be destroyed, it will be troublesome.

"[Kakaka——]"

A minute later, the red dragon raised its head and was pressed down by the electric light gun.

The next minute, it was repeated again, but this time the equipment magic card of the electric light gun exploded and disappeared.

The two new cards Shinji Ikari drew are:

[Elemental Hero·Clayman]

[Heroes United: When there is a 'hero' on the field, summon two other 'heroes' from the hand card.】

It seems... there is no way to defeat the enemy. Should they all be called out to fight in a group? What should I do if I am attacked by a thunder ball?

"[Shinji-kun! The positron cannon is fully charged and can be fired after confirming the aim!]"

Anyway, let’s fire a shot first to test the effect.

Jiao——

While the positron cannon on the No. 1 machine fired a blue beam of light, the red dragon also raised its head and sprayed out blazing white dragon breath.

The two sides met halfway, struggled with each other for a while, and then both went in unrelated directions.

The lightning thrown by Electro, who launched the attack simultaneously, also deflected, exploding little bits of smoke around the red dragon.

However, this behavior is not useless. After the smoke dissipated, the red dragon that originally only had an image appeared with card data.

[■■■■'s ■■■, attack: 7000, defense: 7000]

[Each card in hand increases attack and defense by 1000 points.]

It's actually waiting to draw a card?!

"[The positron cannon is charged urgently, and there are 50 seconds left to fire again!]"

"[Zero! Defend!]"

Boom, boom, boom, Unit Zero quickly walked to the defensive position in front of Unit 1's sniper position and set up a shield, holding up his shield.

"[Ka——]" The red dragon's breath struck again, but was completely blocked by Unit Zero.

Ayanami Rei does not have her own card system, so naturally she cannot see the dragon's breath. What she actually endured was the continuous apostle beam that almost burned through Unit-1. Under the burning of the beam, the "Millennium Shield"

It is melting at a speed visible to the naked eye. When it is completely destroyed, what is standing in front of it is Unit Zero's AT field and Unit Zero itself.

Due to the existence of the emergency ejection system, Ayanami Rei will be fine, but Unit Zero may be sacrificed...

Shinji Ikari was anxiously waiting for the positron cannon to recharge and draw cards, when an illusion suddenly appeared in front of him again.

The girl with short silver-blue hair and long horns on her forehead was wearing a set of pitch-black armor and holding a giant shield to block the dragon's breath. The white light of the dragon's breath became stronger and stronger, and the shield gradually collapsed, but she showed no intention of flinching.

She just turned her head slightly to look at herself, with the corners of her eyes and mouth slightly curved, causing a slight smile to appear on her expressionless face.

Bastard! Is God amazing!? Is 7000 attack amazing!?

Shinji Ikari ignored the interval between card draws, raised his hand to hold down the card pile, and then just pulled a card from the top.

[■■■'s■■■: Attack:? Defense:?]

The card name, card face and description that were originally blurry suddenly became clear under Shinji Ikari's glare.

[Winged Dragon of the Sun God: Attack:? Defense:?]

[You need to free three monsters to summon.]

[When summoned successfully, the health value (AT field strength) can be reduced to 100, and the attack and defense are equal to the reduced values. 】

"Union of Heroes" summons "Bubble Man" and "Clay Man", frees the three to summon "Winged Dragon of the Sun God", reduces the AT force field to 100, increases the attack of "Winged Dragon of the Sun God" to 7900, and then——

"[I don’t know why! But the positron cannon was charged in advance!]"

"[Shinji!]"

Disappear! Damn dragon!

Shinji Ikari pulled the trigger hard.

In his eyes, the moment the positron cannon was activated, a huge Fire Bird phantom flew out from the No. 1 fuselage, and directly engulfed the giant red dragon regardless of the distance.

Almost at the same time, the "Duel Disk" on his left arm disappeared.

"Well..." Shinji Ikari felt that his consciousness was about to disappear, so he spent his last effort to command Unit 1 to catch Unit 0, which had a large amount of front armor melted and was crumbling.

Suddenly, Ayanami Rei's communication came in again. Although she looked a little embarrassed, she didn't seem to be hurt.

"Shinji-kun?"

"...Am I handsome?" Shinji Ikari didn't even have the energy to think of a more suitable line.

"Yes," Rei Ayanami replied, "you are a good person."

I shouldn't have rebelled against the teachings in the first place!
