"Three races in the Parliament, many remote colonies suffered unknown attacks, the Star Alliance may be the biggest winner"

A sensational headline was hanging at the top of the news network, but if you clicked on it, it was just that the new colonies of the three major races on the edge were having problems one after another - but in fact only one was actually attacked and the entire population of the colony disappeared. It's just an Asari colony. Lewen Novels www..com.

The main god "Catalyst" threw the electronic board on the table with some disdain. At this moment, he actually felt that he agreed with Lu Yuan's view, and the unhappiness in his heart became much calmer. You know, as early as two weeks before this news appeared, three remote human colonies had experienced similar problems one after another, and the entire population was robbed!

But what did the Citadel’s news media do at that time? They are as if it is a trivial matter that happened to an uncivilized race in a savage land, and they are stingy with even a small piece of tofu text message! It was as if this kind of thing had never happened... When the same thing happened to the Asari, it immediately made the headlines! By the way, I also satirized the Star Alliance...

Such differential treatment has always been so blatant and unabashed, and both the council and residents are accustomed to it.

The Dawn party is familiar with the plot, and the "Catalyst" is simply a world built according to the plot. Of course, both parties know what is going to happen next.

To put it simply, the Mass Effect trilogy divides the entire plot into three stages - omen, brewing and outbreak.

The omen is the plot of the first part of the Mass Effect world. Through Shepard's tracking of Saren, the secrets behind the world of Protheans, Reapers, harvesting, reincarnation, and enlightenment that have lasted for 50 million years are gradually revealed. Finally, there is a battle with the Citadel. Shepard temporarily stops the Reapers from returning.

The second plot is mainly about preparation. This part talks about the preparations before the large-scale invasion of the Reapers. It mainly involves the Reapers driving the subordinate race "Collectors" to plunder the creatures of the best civilization in the galaxy, and then build the "Overlord" class Reaper warships that belong to this cycle. . By the way, the main base of the "Collectors" is located on the edge of the galactic center, and entry and exit also rely on the Omega 4 repeater...

Shepard was resurrected by Cerberus and continued to fight the Reapers. With the help of Cerberus, he gained fame throughout the galaxy. On the one hand, he fights against the "Gatherers", a race affiliated with the Reapers. Finally, through a narrow escape operation, he passed through the Omega 4 relay. Boarded and destroyed the Gatherer base and the "Overlord" being built.

The third part is, of course, the official invasion of the Reapers, and the war breaks out...

So from a time perspective, it should be in the early stages of the second plot, and the "collectors" have begun to quietly plunder human residents. Preparing to build the first "Overlord" class battleship - but now both Catalyst and Lu Yuan understand that this is just a formality...

Because Lu Yuan has created Hades, the souls of living creatures have a home after death, and can no longer be collected as materials for building warships - this makes the "catalyst" method of building warships completely meaningless. Therefore, the "Overlord" warship that is going to be built at the "Collector" base is completely different from the original plot in meaning, and it is completely fake! Even if Shepard doesn't blow it up, that thing can't become a Reaper!

But in order to initialize the world, the plot still has to go... "Catalyst" originally thought. As an opponent he recognized and treated as an equal, Lu Yuan should be as uninterested in this as he was. Catalyst is ready to drop this thing. It's up to the reapers to figure it out. He was going to take some time off and wait until the war broke out before continuing to pay attention, but Lu Yuan didn't seem to give up!

The first Gatherer cruiser had just attacked a Starfleet colony, plundering about four hundred humans. Just as he was passing through the Omega 4 repeater, he was directly crushed to death by a black hand...

When Catalyst heard the news, his nose was twisted with anger - he didn't understand. It's obviously an insignificant matter, why would Lu Yuan jump out and cause trouble! Could it be that they fell apart in one fell swoop? Isn't he happy? ! However, the catalyst also learned that Lu Yuan and the others were hiding in the center of the galaxy. But the center of the Milky Way is so big, where can he find it?

Then there is the second newly built cruiser. It was also very beautiful when it went out, and then it was crushed to death cleanly as soon as it returned!

The third ship... After the third ship was treated in the same way, the Catalyst had to inform the Pioneer in frustration (this collector plan was also controlled by a Pioneer), temporarily halting the plan.

Catalyst knew that after defeating a large fleet of 24,000 Reapers, the Dawn had become as undefeated as the God of War! Ordinary reaper-affiliated races, "gatherers" can't even leave any residue in the face of such beasts... If Lu Yuan wanted to crush the "gatherers" to death, he didn't need to spend so much effort... Lu Yuan It should be that he wants to convey some news to the catalyst...

"What is it?" Catalyst thought for a long time before suddenly remembering, "He seemed to have told me that he was not allowed to target humans? It seems that he is also a human being!" This is a simple truth, but the Lord God Catalyst is It took me a long time to think about it before I really figured it out!

Sure enough... when he ordered the "Collectors" to transfer their targets from humans to other aliens, Lu Yuan disappeared again.

*****

Cerberus's behind-the-scenes *oss "Illusive Man" showed signs of "enlightenment" again after being "cured" by Lu Yuan, apparently because he came into contact with items left by the Reapers after that. ——People will not die unless they want to die. The power of "enlightenment" is far from easy to resist. If you feel that you have defeated "enlightenment", it must be an illusion. It just means that you have been "enlightenment"...

It is not a kind of corrosion, and it does not mean that you will be able to defeat "enlightenment" if you have a firm will and a clear mind. Generally speaking, "enlightenment" is more like a temptation. When scientific researchers are enlightened, they will find that they suddenly have new ideas for problems that they have been unable to overcome for a long time; and people like the Phantom Man are enlightened precisely because they are in a I couldn't find the dawn in a desperate situation, and then I was deceived by the sudden "false dawn"...

The more upright and lofty-minded people are, vowing to save the world, and loving others more than themselves, the more likely they are to be "civilized"; on the contrary, mediocre people in the market lack the value and method of cultivating. ... They have no position and no obsession. They are wandering around in the world of mortals, which makes it impossible for the reapers to start.

Lu Yuan's philosophy is that "even an aunt's towel has its purpose." Therefore, as long as Cerberus has not taken the initiative to counterattack, he will definitely make false promises with Cerberus and lay countless traps along the way. If Cerberus doesn't betray, he will find a way to make Cerberus act according to his baton and squeeze out the value of use; if Cerberus dares to betray, then Lu Yuan will immediately teach him how to behave - what is " If you take what is mine, give it back to me; if you eat what is mine, give it to me and spit it out”…

But Zhao Min is different from Lu Yuan. She doesn't like that kind of "ambiguous" state. So when Zhao Min took control of the situation, she chose to make a clean break with the half-hearted Cerberus! This triggered a series of strong backlashes from Cerberus, which in turn blew up several pitfalls that Lu Yuan had set up in advance.

Cerberus faced a full-scale siege this time and was beaten to the point of almost organizational collapse - so much so that the "Illusive Man" had to grab his life-saving straw again.

Just like he himself always thought...or what the "Catalyst" made him think, the Illusive Man always believed that Shepard was the key to defeating the Reaper! He is the savior who saves the entire galaxy and the earth! Just like Morpheus in The Matrix, he never believed that his side could defeat the mechanical squid army/reaper army head-on, so he pinned all mankind's hopes on the savior Neo/Shepard...

And Lu Yuan has been based on strengthening the overall strength of the galactic civilization from the beginning and fighting the invading Reaper fleet head-on! He never pinned humanity's hope on the few small buttons Shepard pressed at the end, or on Shepard's own moral level - this is actually the most fundamental difference between Dawn and Dog.

So when the Dawn disappeared, the "Illusive Man" recovered Shepard's mutilated body after the attack. Then he launched the secret project "Lazarus", and even though Cerberus was already running out of funds, he still spent 4 billion star dollars and two years to resurrect Shepard!

Then he rebuilt a state-of-the-art "Normandy" SR2 battleship for Sister Xue, and handed over a number of high-level combat forces such as Miranda to Shepard. He even equipped the battleship with an artificial intelligence - Ittie... …

We all know that Sister Xue's chaotic and kind character will part ways sooner or later when faced with a lawful evil organization like Cerberus! When the time comes, Sister Xue will drive his boat and use others to open a dog-breeding laboratory in the east and a secret dog-breeding base in the west. And all of this, the "Illusive Man" could only knock down his teeth, swallow it, and end with a smile...

This is truly a heart-warming story.

However, not long after Sister Xue got up from the bed in the laboratory, everything had to be reorganized. But the most critical problem is that she has been registered as "a dead person" in the Star Alliance and the Citadel Council... This is probably the first problem she needs to solve.

Also, after the Normandy was attacked and crashed, Shepard ended up missing in order to save Joker, but most of his team members survived. Obstacle Pear, Liara, Lex, Galax... Now she needs to recruit a new group of friends to accompany her to die. (To be continued)
