Fang Xian loosened his foot, avoiding damaging the "E5 Laser Cannon."
While the "E5 Laser Cannon" wouldn't cause him much harm, it could be devastating to others.
Now that Rei Ayanami was his, he couldn't afford to cut off his own arm.
The commotion he'd caused earlier meant the people from the royal city had definitely arrived. He needed to retrieve the "World Origin" first.
He looked at Rei Ayanami and beckoned.
"Baby, come out first."
"Okay..."
Rei Ayanami, her previous arrogant demeanor gone, obediently stepped out of the cockpit.
Fang Xian grabbed Rei Ayanami's slender waist and kissed her without hesitation; a taste was necessary.
Rei Ayanami was a little flustered, her tongue frantically trying to communicate.
After a brief kiss, Fang Xian released Rei Ayanami.
"Baby, 'Unit-00' is the 'Origin of the World,' right?"
"Yes… I am the guardian of the 'Origin of the World.'"
"Very good, then take back the 'Origin of the World.'"
"Okay."
Rei Ayanami took a deep breath, adjusting her mindset.
She slowly raised her hand, her slender, pale left hand pausing slightly in mid-air.
Then, with a gentle flick of her wrist, the tattered "Unit-00" began absorbing the surrounding particles.
The previously broken armor plates, accompanied by subtle "clicking" sounds, began to slowly piece together and smooth out.
The broken mechanical arm also slowly returned to its place, the twisted parts gradually restoring to their original state.
"Zzzzt!"
A peculiar void rift appeared out of thin air, accompanied by a slight ripple, and "Unit-00" completely vanished into the void.
Previously, neither Yan Lingji of the Illusionary Feather World nor Qian Bailu of the Great Thousand World, as guardians of the "World Origin," could freely and skillfully utilize its power in battle like Rei Ayanami.
It seems the gap between the primary and intermediate worlds is still quite significant.
Now that the "World Origin" is in hand, the next step is simply to plunder the Empire's high-tech weaponry.
He wrapped his arm around Rei Ayanami's slender waist, cast a "Light Energy Shield" enveloping them within it, and then soared into the sky, leaving the collapsed basement.
On the way, he happened to see Asuka and Misato Katsuragi also fleeing, and casually pulled them into the "Light Energy Shield."
They were initially startled, but breathed a sigh of relief when they saw it was Fang Xian.
However, seeing Rei Ayanami in Fang Xian's arms, they were filled with questions.
"Fang Xian... Rei Ayanami has recovered?"
Faced with Misato Katsuragi's question, he pulled Asuka and Misato into his arms, a mischievous grin spreading across his face.
"Aunt Misato, from now on we're family, you have to call me husband."
Before Misato could even reply shyly, Asuka objected first.
"Fang Xian, how can you call my mom your husband?"
"Don't go too far..."
At this point, Asuka's previously pouty face flushed red.
"And... you want us all to call you husband?"
"That would be all messed up..."
Miri Katsuragi glanced at Asuka, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
"Fang Xian, it's really not good for us to call you that..."
Fang Xian glared at them, saying irritably:
"Stop talking nonsense, just say it."
"You—"
Asuka puffed out her cheeks, looking at Fang Xian, then turned her head away, refusing to look at anyone, her voice barely audible.
"H-Husband...husband..."
Katsuragaki Misato buried her flushed face in Fang Xian's arms, nervously whispering:
"H-Husband..."
Under the "SP Talent," no matter how much they hesitated, they had to obediently comply.
"Hmm, good girl."
Fang Xian patted Asuka and Katsuragi Misato's heads with satisfaction, then looked at Ayanami Rei, giving her a knowing look.
Ayanami Rei didn't seem to care, simply smiling and softly calling out.
"Husband."
Fang Xian, having dealt with these, appeared on the ground.
But as soon as he appeared, he saw a dark mass.
Upon closer inspection, he realized it was a dense, layered mass of figures—a group of soldiers in mecha armor hovering in mid-air.
Their mechs gleamed with a cold metallic sheen in the dim light, their streamlined design showcasing not only technological sophistication but also a sharp, chilling aura.
Among the ranks of soldiers stood numerous colossal Gundam robots.
These Gundam robots were covered in intricate and dense mechanical patterns, every joint perfectly aligned, their energy cannons and mechanical blades gleaming with a menacing light.
At this moment, all the mech soldiers and Gundam robots were on high alert.
They stood tall and straight, each one intently watching Fang Xian and his group who had just emerged below.
Their eyes revealed vigilance and scrutiny, their weapons gripped tightly, ready to fire at any moment.
In this tense atmosphere, the air seemed frozen; every subtle movement could be keenly detected, the oppressive atmosphere making it hard to breathe.
"It's the Empire's most elite 'Black Fang Legion' and 'Iron Blood Legion'!"
Misato Katsuragi exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the massive, dark mass.
The simultaneous deployment of the Empire's two most elite units showed just how seriously the Empire took this operation.
Asuka and Misato Katsuragi cautiously surveyed the area. They both knew that the mobilization of such a large force was undoubtedly because of Fang Xian.
Rei Ayanami, meanwhile, held her "E5 Laser Cannon," ready for battle at any moment.
Fang Xian looked at the sheer number of mecha soldiers and Gundam robots and couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
So many valuable items; it would be a real shame to destroy them all.
Just as tensions were running high, a beautiful figure slowly appeared.
She had long, fiery red hair, tied high into a neat ponytail, strands flowing in the wind, adding a touch of dynamism.
Her features were delicate and defined, her eyes deep and bright.
The mecha armor covering her chest accentuated her curves, showcasing a beauty that balanced strength and grace.
She was none other than Sisia, the leader of the "Black Edge Legion."
"Leave 'Unit Zero,' or
—Slay without mercy!"
