The light beam flew past, striking the condensed AT field in front of the apostle. The AT field ripples quickly surged due to this attack, while the apostle's attack also paused for a split second. However, it was precisely in this split second that the spiraling light beam directly pierced through the apostle's AT field. Then, it drilled into the red bead in front of the apostle, not stopping at all as it directly pierced through.
The penetrating light beam brought out countless drops of red liquid from the apostle's body, which then evaporated in the blink of an eye. The apostle's attack, which had paused for a moment, was stopped forever.
The light beam that pierced through the apostle continued to rush towards the ground. The hard surface was penetrated, and it directly rushed into a huge underground space. Finally, it hit the second floor of the underground space and caused a huge explosion. It took a long time for the explosion to subside completely.
When the dust settled, there was already a huge hole in the apostle's chest. All of the red liquid had evaporated completely. Even the area where the apostle was penetrated and even his entire body had traces of being burned.
A few seconds later, the apostle who was standing upright collapsed to the ground. His huge body made a loud noise when he hit the ground. But this time, the loud noise meant that the incident had completely subsided.
"It's over. We don't have to see that tragic and cruel scene anymore."
Someone sighed after a moment of silence, but the only response was silence. Xiao Ran glanced at the dead apostle and piloted the Dark Sky back to the Burning Legion without saying a word. The others watched until the Dragons let out a sorrowful roar and slowly left. Only then did they return to their respective ships with complicated feelings.
After returning to the ship, Xiao Ran saw the communication screen of Brad, Shigeru Okita, Princess, Hoshino, Liuli, Tessa, Captain Otter, and the others. Mary also turned to Xiao Ran at the same time. "The battle is over. The NERV and we didn't find any traces of the apostle."
Xiao Ran nodded slowly. He walked all the way to Mary's side and appeared on the communication screen of the other warships. At this time, Xiao Ran's expression was too calm. His whole body exuded a faint sense of heaviness. Unlike his usual relaxed expression, the smile on his face had completely disappeared.
Everyone could feel the change in Xiao Ran. In fact, Xiao Ran was infected by the Dragons' unhesitatingly sacrificing themselves to stop the apostles even though they knew they were no match for them. Moreover, they were not piloting an MS to fight, but the Dragon-transformed Dragons using their flesh and blood to stop the apostles' attacks. It would be more appropriate to describe it as a suicide mission.
"That's right." Xiao Ran shook his head lightly, as if he was trying to get rid of the unhappiness in his heart. Then he opened his mouth and said, "Now that these DRAGON's actions have shown me, I don't think anyone has any doubts about the fact that they should be on our side. Moreover, they are very clear about what the apostles will bring to this world. Otherwise, they would definitely not use such a method and sacrifice to intercept the apostles."
Everyone nodded in silence. Dragon's actions just now were indeed too shocking. With today's scene, no one would doubt Dragon's position anymore.
"Right now, we still don't know to what extent Agenar's contact with DRAGON has progressed, but judging from today's situation, it might not be very smooth. DRAGON's attack did affect us in the beginning, but from what happened later, it seemed more like they were chasing us away instead of actually attacking us."
"Although we don't know their purpose for doing so, I think maybe they feel that it is their responsibility to deal with the apostles. Of course, that's just a maybe. But no matter what, from now on, DRAGON is our comrade-in-arms. If you encounter DRAGON in the future, I hope you can communicate with them as much as possible."
Upon hearing Xiao Ran's words, everyone nodded in agreement. Because of what happened just now, no one could point their guns at the tragic Dragon-class players.
Xiao Ran pondered for a moment, then said, "At the same time, based on the situation of DRAGON's attack on the apostles, as well as the time when we received the news and directly jumped here, I estimate that DRAGON is very likely to be a human living in this world."
Brad, Tessa, and Captain Ott were stunned after hearing Xiao Ran's words, but then Tessa frowned slightly, "Maybe DRAGON is really a product of our world. I remember when we went to the Western world, we encountered a special situation on the sea, and then we saw these DRAGON."
"Jedo and the others went to the Western Calendar World because they were being chased by the DRAGON. If the DRAGON belongs to this world, then it makes sense why we went to the Western Calendar World. But why didn't we know anything about the DRAGON?"
"We can only understand this when DRAGON is willing to accept us and tell us everything," Xiao Ran shook his head, then said again, "But I think that day will come soon."
Brad shook his dizzy head and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. NERV has arranged a place for us to rest. It looks like we're about to enter the real core of the third new Tokyo."
"The huge underground space?" Xiao Ran's eyes shifted to the place outside the bridge where he attacked just now. He touched his chin and said, "The situation down there shouldn't be too good now. I don't think they have much time to entertain us."
Xiao Ran clearly felt that his attack penetrated the ground and directly rushed into the underground space, and all the scattered energy directly exploded in the underground space. In short, the situation down there was a mess because of Xiao Ran's attack.
Western world, Atenar.
Cruzet was lying on the bed naked, the mask on his face was placed aside. He held a communicator in his hand and carefully read the contents of the communicator. After reading it, he looked up with a faint smile and looked at the naked person who was putting on clothes in front of the bed.
"Our new friend sent us a message, saying that he has found the missing people. Your chess piece is with them."
