Novel Full Chapter 793
Chapter 793: Chapter 719: The World After the Second Impact Chapter 793: Chapter 719: The World After the Second Impact “Red ocean…”
Tao Yu held his forehead, seemingly suffering from a headache.
If it were just a red ocean, that’d be somewhat manageable, but coupled with the suppression from the world’s will, it was clear that something big had happened!
EVA!
Although he didn’t quite understand it as a child, it was the anime that established many of the subsequent anime settings’ dominance.
Tao Yu remembered the first time he watched it; it was the Chinese version on TV, with the opening OP still sung by Sister Ju Ping.
At that time, he merely watched it as robots fighting monsters, but still found it impressive and cryptic.
It wasn’t until he grew older and short videos became popular that he watched some follow-up explanatory content and the new theatrical releases.
Only then did he start to get a slight outline of this world.
“Completely clueless about the situation, what era it is…
A red ocean could be from the original TV series ending or the new theatrical version, or perhaps some mixed version.
The Abyss, it’s indeed elusive…”
Tao Yu sighed.
He had just come to find the Seven-Tails, and now was he supposed to find the Seventh Angel Envoy?

Looking down at the lines on his palm which still stubbornly pointed in a deeper direction, he wondered if they were present in this world…
Tao Yu considered for a moment and had no intention of bypassing this world.
Such strong suppression from the world’s will – it wouldn’t be strange if it were like that of Mars next door, spread evenly across the whole Earth!
“I thought the world barrier was meant to protect from harassment by mighty brother Mars, but now it seems it could be a barrier formed by a neighboring world’s will to prevent assimilation…”
Quickly recalling some EVA settings, Tao Yu knew that whether in the TV series or the new theatrical release, the definition of Impact was very close.
It could be roughly equated to world destruction!
The First Impact occurred four billion years ago with the Black Moon carrying the Second Angel Envoy, Lilith, possessing the ‘Fruit of Wisdom,’ crashing into Earth and also forming the Moon as a satellite.
Even the birth of mankind was due to Lilith, making humans the eighteenth Angel Envoy possessing the ‘Fruit of Wisdom.’
But because they lacked the Fruit of Life, there wasn’t enough AT Field to form a unified body, so humanity appeared in individual forms.
The Tree of the World’s disintegration left behind roots that formed the Spear of Longinus capable of penetrating the AT Field.
Humans, the Spear of Longinus, and the Dead Sea Scrolls, which the Human Instrumentality Project was based on, were all results of the First Impact.
Lilith herself was nailed to the cross with the Spear of Longinus and sealed; half of Lilith’s body was used to create EVA’s Unit-01, located in the deepest part of the NERV headquarters in New Tokyo, in the Final Dogma Zone.
Or rather, New Tokyo was the location of the First Impact, with the remnant of the Black Moon right here.
Lilith was discovered during the exploration of the Black Moon.
The Second Impact was when the First Angel Envoy, Adam, carrying the ‘Fruit of Life,’ located in Antarctica, was activated to reset all life on the planet.
When the Spear of Longinus failed to seal, the scientific expedition initiated a self-destruct, causing Adam’s AT Field to invert, partially halting the process.
But the remaining Impacts still caused the earth’s climate to change drastically, melting Antarctica.
If an Angel Envoy reached the Final Dogma Zone, it could also trigger a new Impact.
“In the TV series, the Second Impact didn’t turn the oceans red; it was defined in the theatrical release that the Second Impact purified the ocean to make it so, but there were no blood-red Evas on the ground.
So even if it was from the new theatrical release, the Third Impact hadn’t started yet.
It’s just not clear what year it is…”
After pondering for a moment, Tao Yu then cast it aside; it was all useless now that he was already within the Abyss.
“Since I’m already here…”
Tao Yu closed his eyes and contemplated for a moment, feeling his own strength under the suppression of the world’s will.
“The world’s will is strong, but luckily, I’m not weak…”
Tao Yu slightly raised his hand, and the Sword Intent of the Immortal Slayer Sword appeared distorted at his fingertips.
But compared to when fighting the Bottle Man, the difference was enormous…
“However, my talent is still not fundamentally suppressed.”
Feeling the Sword Intent in his hand, Tao Yu merged the Essence of Fist Intent into it, reactivating the lethargic Sword Intent, then he made a cut in the air.
Swoosh~
A huge boulder on the nearby mountain was cleanly sliced through!
The top half of the stone, weighing several tons, began to slide off the sloping cut surface, rumbling as it rolled down before crashing into the forest, snapping branches with a sharp crackling sound.
The cut surface of the stone in front of him was as smooth as a mirror, so polished that even a buffing machine couldn’t achieve such smoothness.
“The quantity is greatly suppressed, but with the integration of this Fist Intent, the attacking power is actually quite strong; an AT Field might not be able to hold up…”
Tao Yu thought to himself.
The AT Field is a special force field possessed by the Angel Envoys and EVA, which can be regarded as a psychic barrier, a defense and an offensive means all in one.
An Angel Envoy-level AT Field could withstand explosions equivalent to nuclear bombs, such as N2 mines in the center.
Generally, it requires neutralizing the opposing AT Fields to combat them, or the Spear of Longinus, which can penetrate the AT Field.
In theory, humans also possess AT fields, but they cannot intervene in the current world.
However, it’s a pity that the Angels are too massive.
Even if I could barely penetrate the AT fields, against an Angel, it seems rather futile.
At most, I’d be able to protect myself in their presence.
Angels have the S2 engine, symbolizing the Fruit of Life, which, despite having an output threshold, has a nearly infinite recovery rate when sustained over time…
“The impact itself is strong enough, but I am not afraid of psychic attacks, and as long as it’s not the later stages where becoming godlike is commonplace, against the mere EVAs and Angels, I should be capable of defending myself.”
Tao Yu pondered that although he was currently under the suppression of the World Will, being able to move freely was his greatest advantage.
“Aside from an N2 mine exploding in my face, conventional weapons could be evaded with speed.
My Spirit Perception and Time Stop wouldn’t allow such close encounters…”
Tao Yu estimated the situation, but within the Abyss, change is unpredictable.
Even under the current world’s brutal suppression, whether other unforeseen events would occur was unknown to him.
Looking at Takigakure Village’s location, who knows if it even exists in this world…
“In fact, the world still exists, which probably means the Angels haven’t started their consecutive attacks yet…”
In fact, the original trajectory often led to the risk of an impact, and the Angels brought immense pressure and trouble to NERV.
Even though NERV had EVAs, clones of the Angels, with Pilots driving them into battle.
But lacking the S2 engine and relying on electricity for power, the EVAs really needed various plans to effectively deal with those Angels.
Aside from the rampage of Unit-01, created by cutting in half the flesh of Lilith, at other times, it was a struggle to come up with strategies, even utilizing essential artifacts like the Spear of Longinus as javelins in combat.
This also led to the Spear of Longinus being launched out of the atmosphere and entering lunar orbit, almost getting lost.
Tao Yu closed his eyes in contemplation.
Under the current circumstances, directly attacking NERV to seize Lilith or Unit-01 seemed potentially risky.
Although he stood a certain chance of success with his current power, it seemed unstable and too much of a gamble.
Under the pressure of the World Will, he couldn’t even handle long-distance flight, which was somewhat embarrassing.
“If it can be confirmed that the Angels haven’t yet attacked, then going to New Tokyo-3 now would be optimal.
There’s also a chance to pick up what the Angels drop…”
Tao Yu thought to himself that once the Angels started attacking, their frequency is quite high.
In the TV series from the third to the seventeenth Angel, while in the new films there are only thirteen Angels, and the First Apostle becomes Nagisa Kaworu.
“The gap is there, but it’s not a big problem.”
Tao Yu felt that the issue was actually quite simple: don’t let the Chosen One kill the Angels, let himself deliver the finishing blow and gain some Skills.
Or perhaps find a way to Pilot an EVA himself.
With Deification enabling Riding, there would definitely be no problem.
Although Shinji Ikari has an extremely high Synchronization Rate with Unit-01, receiving ‘mother’s protection’ and even going berserk at key moments,
Shinji’s will to fight is truly weak; the only reason he is pushed to the forefront is that aside from him, only Rei Ayanami is suitable.
If there were a new option, it seems it would not be hard to replace him.
The pure AT field itself is average at best.
Even for Angels, those massive beings, that sort of defensive power is all they have.
But if it evolves into a Skill combined with Deification, the versatility is extremely strong, and it might even synergize with my Innate Barrier.
And Lilith, as well as the Human Instrumentality Project, possess the potential for Deification; Tao Yu feels having an AT field ensures a solid foundation, not a loss, and there’s also the chance to kill an Angel to see if the S2 engine can be obtained.
The aftermath with Lilith, collisions, ascending to godhood, and such could be attempted; if inconvenient, simply flee.
“They chose Qualified Individuals, though they seem to have to be minors.
I’m already over twenty, while in the new films, Mari and later Asuka have their physical ages fixed…”
Tao Yu sighed.
In truth, he could transform and thus could meet the requirements.
“I’m just twenty, just need to look a bit younger…”
Tao Yu’s appearance underwent some minor adjustments, his face took on a few more youthful features, and coupled with the Witch’s charm boost, he was definitely the type to attract both men and women.
After the transformation, Tao Yu looked out at the red ocean before him, sensing the deathly stillness and decay emanating from its depths.
He could even faintly sense a unique stench from the Abyss.
“Perhaps the area beneath this red ocean connects to some other world…
This red sea may not necessarily be connected to the outer seas…”
Standing at the peak, Tao Yu exhaled slowly.
Pollution in the ocean is actually a good thing.
In some ways, this pollution is a form of protection…
Tao Yu leapt from the mountain summit, diving down, touching lightly mid-fall, and easily reached the base of the mountain.
He then rushed straight to the edge of the red ocean.
Although he didn’t know where he currently was, he could start by summoning a helper to take a look.
If the ocean didn’t offer the protection he anticipated, leading to some problem, then so be it; he wouldn’t be too upset about it.
As Tao Yu’s shadow continued to condense, a small paw, implanted with a Seed of Spirit and assimilated with Black Mud, began to emerge from the shadow, using Spirit Communication to continuously push outward.

Like pouring out Black Mud, it flowed endlessly into the red ocean…
