Chapter 1356
Sgateon is searching for his old feeling
Just as the angels were flying...
Something heavy has fallen from the sky...
This is truly heavyweight!
Steel Monster, Steelton!
This guy...
I came into this world by accident.
It kept searching for the feeling that had once moved it so deeply...
But... I can't find it...
The spaceship that made it incredibly comfortable.
It's actually the same thing that happened to the Hipporito aliens before.
Their spaceships were mistaken for females by Sgateon, and after a chaotic attack, they were even given a taste of Hipporito tar by the Hipporito aliens...
Finally, it used its Sgateon liquid cannon to give those Hipporito aliens a good thrashing. Yes, that's the Sgateon!
It kept searching for that feeling, but unfortunately... it couldn't find it...
So much so that even now, having wandered to this world, they are still searching.
Sgateon’s massive steel body moved slowly through the clouds, like a floating metal mountain.
Its body is gray, and its back is covered with a grid of shells. At the front of the top of the shells are several protrusions that look like pentagonal tokens, and on both sides are spiky protrusions.
It has two small horns on the top of its head and two larger horns above its nose.
Those white eyes, with jet-black pupils, were now blankly scanning the world below.
It is rather lazy and has little malice or fighting spirit, but its desire to search drives it to wander endlessly.
It flew over planet after planet, through nebulae, scrutinizing every spacecraft it encountered with its white eyes.
Whenever it sees a spaceship of a similar shape, it gets excited and speeds up to get closer, only to be disappointed each time to find that it is just an ordinary transport ship or warship, without that tactile sensation that makes it tremble all over.
"Why...why can't I find it..."
Sgateon let out a low, mournful whine, like a moving mountain sighing.
It missed the feeling of being enveloped in Hippolit tar, the temperature, the lubrication, the stimulation that made its entire carapace boil.
That was the most beautiful moment of its life, brief yet unforgettable.
Now it's like a heartbroken vagabond, wandering in every corner of the universe, asking every ship it encounters and chasing every ship it sees, just to experience that peak thrill again.
And now, it has arrived in this world, its enormous body blocking out the sunlight and casting a shadow over Tokyo-3.
It lowered its head, its white eyes frantically scanning all the aircraft below.
"That...that shape...is somewhat similar to..."
Sgateon's eyes lit up as it spotted a transport plane circling above NERV headquarters.
"Could it be that...? Will it be that feeling...?"
It began to descend, its massive steel body scraping against the atmosphere, emitting a piercing shriek, like an out-of-control meteorite falling toward the ground.
The angel, trembling in the clouds, watched as this colossal creature roared past her, its symmetrical geometric panels ceasing their trembling in shock.
The tenth apostle, Sahaqour, is currently curled up in satellite orbit, its massive orange, symmetrical body trembling slightly in space.
The eye-like structures on both sides and in the middle of its body were all wide open, staring intently at the steel monster that was rapidly falling below.
"What... what kind of monster is this..." The Sky Angel wrapped itself in ATField on the orbit, trying to hide itself even deeper.
It was already terrified by Cui Ming, and now this inexplicable steel behemoth has appeared. What's wrong with this world?!
Completely oblivious to the orange, symmetrical geometric object beside it, its white eyes were fixed on the transport plane below. It spewed a stream of high-temperature flames from its mouth and roared excitedly, "Found it...found it...that shape...that curve..."
The angel watched as Skyton brushed past it, the gravitational shockwaves it created causing its massive body to tremble. Droplets of water-like matter uncontrollably detached from its body and drifted towards Earth like tears.
"Don't come any closer... don't come any closer..."
The spacecraft used ATField to curl itself up into a ball, its orange symmetrical plates tightly closed, and all the eye-like structures shut, resembling a startled seashell.
It no longer wants to destroy the Earth; it just wants to go home.
Sgaten continued his descent towards the ground, completely absorbed in his own world, still breathing fire: "My dear... I'm here... This time I won't let you escape again..."
At NERV headquarters, Choi Myung looked up at the two huge signal sources on the radar screen and frowned.
"Today...it's quite lively."
Cui Ming looked at the enormous Sgateon...
These things generally don't cause much harm; just chase them away...
He stood on the rooftop of NERV headquarters, looking up at the giant gray shadow that was slowly descending in the sky.
Sgateon's massive body blocked out half the sky, its carapace on its back gleaming metallically in the sunlight, and its black pupils in its white eyes scanned the area below with a blank expression.
Choi Myung, with his hands in his pockets, assessed the situation expressionlessly.
He had heard of this monster before; it was lazy, had virtually no fighting spirit, and possessed terrifyingly high defense, but it did not attack on its own initiative.
The problem will be solved if you simply lure it away or let it fly away on its own.
But the next second, a scene that surprised Choi Myung appeared.
Sgaten suddenly changed direction.
Its massive gray body trembled violently, and its white eyes widened, locking onto the orange symmetrical geometric shape above the orbit.
The ethereal angel Sahaqour was huddled there, wrapping himself up in an ATField, trying to conceal his presence.
But in Sgate's eyes, that orange, symmetrical object radiating energy fluctuations...
so similar!
It looks just like the spaceship that haunted its dreams back then!
Those curves, that luster, that warm, energetic response...
Sgateon let out a deafening roar, and the plates on its back stood up one by one, spewing out a burst of scorching flames.
It accelerated suddenly, its massive body like an out-of-control meteorite, hurtling straight toward the sky angel in orbit.
The angel sensed the danger; all the eye-like structures opened, and their pupils contracted violently.
It tried to escape, but Skyton was too fast.
The 200,000-ton steel body slammed into the Sky Angel's ATField, the force field shattered instantly, and the orange symmetrical plates creaked under the strain.
then……
Sgaten rode on the angel of the sky.
"No...don't..."
The ethereal angel emitted a chilling mental fluctuation, its voice sharp and distorted, echoing through space. (End of Chapter)
