The Citadel blooms like a five-petal flower in the Serpent Nebula, wrapped in crimson flames, and is uniquely beautiful. Novel www.しwxs.com
All the high-rise buildings, amusement parks, famous landmarks, botanical gardens with rich species... everything fell apart in the surge of energy, turning into lonely alloy skeletons. The huge city looked like it had been corroded for thousands of years. The ruins of the post-apocalypse.
The Reaper fleet had lost the ability to activate the negative energy engine from the moment the Sky Furnace collapsed. They struggled feebly in place until they were destroyed by the surging red light.
In order to avoid the shock wave of the explosion, the remaining combined fleet warships on the battlefield turned around and ran wildly. They ignored the other warships around and accelerated directly to super-light speed, flying crazily away from the Serpent Nebula. It's just that the main relay of the Serpent Nebula has been destroyed. On the long way home, they are destined to experience a life of wandering among the stars, or even living on an alien planet - but fortunately, the "City of Dawn" is still there, and this Although the huge "Dyson Pit" is a super repeater in itself, it does not remain connected to any main stage repeaters, so it survived the explosion unscathed.
So if these street children lack supplies to go home, they at least have the option of "online shopping"...
The "Normandy" was also among those who turned around and fled. Although they stayed until the end - they watched the Citadel explode before their eyes, but they could not wait for Shepard to return! A few minutes ago, the Geth "Legion", together with the Normandy's AI Edith, suddenly uploaded their own code and started uploading it. They lost another companion! And this time it was their captain...
The ship was running wildly, and heavy grief was also spreading on the ship. Finally, except for joker who was driving the ship, the remaining crew members spontaneously gathered under the memorial wall of the spacecraft.
Hanging on it are the names of all those who died in the Normandy - including Presley (the navigator of the Normandy SR1, and Anne's... After this war, it is very likely that this list will become even longer...
But they couldn't believe that they would see the captain's name on it! You must know that after going through so many impossible, suicidal, and fatal missions, they always believed that Shepard was immortal... From the battle on Eden to the Womel suicide mission, from the Phoenix Swarm Assault to Omega 4 Repeaters die across... no matter how dangerous the situation. She can lead her crew to defeat the enemy and escape!
But today, will all this end?
Liara held her chest with broken ribs and cried silently; Galath sat in a wheelchair. Tully pushed him and bowed her head in silence; Shili looked at the memorial wall, her hands constantly changing between clenching and unclenching her fists, with mixed emotions; the ship's doctor took the wine Shepard bought her, and there was still half a bottle left. . The two agreed to have a drink together after defeating the Reaper... Dozens of people silently surrounded the memorial wall, forming a small semicircle.
Everyone lowered their heads, silently recalling everything about Shepard...
…
"Ah~ Damn it!" The body fell straight down, and the severe pain when the broken bones intertwined suddenly pulled Shepard out of semi-consciousness!
"Huhu~" Sister Xue breathed hard after waking up. Although every breath pulled at her broken ribs, causing her great pain. But inhaling oxygen can keep her from falling into coma. Sister Xue reluctantly looked around and found that this was definitely not the ruined castle! The bottom of the body is flat and moderately hard, obviously a bed. As for the clean and tidy environment around it, it looked very familiar - if she recognized it correctly - this was the medical room on her ship!
"Where have all the lovely people gone? Ship's doctor... Etty?!" Sister Xue looked at the empty cabin. It felt like I was about to cry without tears. "Is anyone there?...I think I can save a little more!"

At this moment, if what the world sees in the eyes of the world is the collapse of the world.
So what they see in the eyes of Catalyst, Alona and Lu Yuan is the renewal of everything!
With the official conclusion of the Mass Effect trilogy, the world initialization work that lasted for 50 million years has finally come to an end and been successfully completed - cities, planets, nebulae, as well as those plants, animals, everything Civilized creatures... everything is changing from a slightly illusory state to a completely solid one.
Until this moment, everything really begins to "exist" - not in a philosophical sense, but in a multi-dimensional physical existence.
That feeling is indescribable.
If a description is not needed, then the previous world is equally real. But compared with the world after initialization, everyone who is qualified to understand it knows that it must be missing the most important thing! With this magical final touch, the whole world "comes alive". Even though the world is full of wreckage and ruins. People were at a loss after the Reaper fell... But beyond the field of vision, every nebula, every tree, every building, and every atom was cheering spontaneously.
The full and joyful emotion is like a loud horn, resounding from east to west, north and south of the Milky Way!
The three of them closed their eyes together, with the... psychedelic and satisfied expression on their faces after tasting delicious food.
Huge knowledge, the mysteries of a new world. Like the Milky Way pouring down from the heads of the three people, it poured into their bodies!
After Shepard's final selection, Lu Yuan and Nana's shares rose to 31%. Therefore, the main god "Catalyst" received 70% of this infinite information, Alona received 20%, and Lu Yuan 10%. But in terms of gains, it's exactly the other way around - "Catalyst" has personally created countless material worlds, and the world of Mass Effect is just an ordinary member of them. Therefore, even if he won 70%, there was not much "fresh" information in it, and the catalyst just smiled and ended.
On the contrary, Alona, who finally had her first experience in the material world, suddenly experienced a somersault surge in strength, and earth-shaking changes occurred in an instant! She is far beyond the strength she had at that time, when she had to burn the Kingdom of Gods in order to enter the world of Mass Effect, and she directly left the main god Xing Yan behind.
"Ayuan, I'm so powerful now!" Nana jumped happily. "Ha! Ha!" Nana clenched her little fists and turned around randomly. Catalyst curled his lips in disdain. To him, this increase in power was just the difference between ants and dust - but in fact he was very envious - when he was still a weak Lord God, he had been so happy. when.
But compared to the two main gods, Lu Yuan gained the least, but the one who benefited the most was Lu Yuan!
With the two main gods' intentions, the world of the main god finally opened up in front of him, and all the secrets were revealed in front of him - this moment. Lu Yuan finally understood what it felt like after Karsus stole Mythril's priesthood and was overwhelmed by infinite knowledge and power! Although Lu Yuan has the unique "World Affinity" talent (actually a massacre), Dragon art, but he is neither the main god race nor has the experience of building the world step by step. Therefore, the 10% knowledge at the time of creation is almost the limit of what he can bear!
When he opened his eyes, half a month had passed, but the two main gods were quietly accompanying him in the ruins.
Lu Yuan stood there in a daze, his eyes were dark and even his pupils were missing. Only the two main gods can see it. Countless worlds were emerging and dying in his eyes, and now Lu Yuan could finally see what they saw.
"So... this is what the Lord God feels like!" At this moment, although Lu Yuan's strength remained unchanged, his vision was infinitely improved. He is now one of the people standing on the top of the mountain looking down. It is now clear whether the path he took in the past was right or wrong.
The insights Lu Yuan gained from traveling across the world in the past, the world-changing swordsmanship he learned in Gensokyo, and the understanding of the world brought about by magic research were finally connected by the knowledge he gained this time. Lu Yuan finally completed his transformation and became a subordinate of the Lord God. A special existence above all reality!
Catalyst and Alona looked at this, the "monster" they jointly created, and they were actually very happy. Nana was fine. The reason why Catalyst deliberately helped Lu Yuan was, firstly, because after decades of fighting, he recognized that Lu Yuan had the status to communicate with him; secondly, he also wanted to see what this special existence was. What kind of... There are very few things in this world that can interest him. and
Lu Yuan was the reincarnation who brought him the most surprises in countless billions of years. It would be a pity if such people disappeared silently in the cracks of the world.
"You really didn't disappoint me." After carefully observing Lu Yuan. "Catalyst" finally nodded with satisfaction, feeling quite satisfied that "I have lived for a long time and I have seen everything." And, most importantly. Lu Yuan's experience was so unique that there was no possibility of replicating it. In other words, the position of the main god has not wavered... Although it is very small, Catalyst does have a little more sense of responsibility than Nana.
"So now, are you ready to admit defeat?" Catalyst asked gracefully. Compared to kicking Lu Yuan out directly, having him admit failure in person would be the most fulfilling!
"Oh, it's so annoying." After Lu Yuan sighed, he said to "Catalyst" with a sympathetic face, "You are the one who should admit defeat!"
"Humph! Keep fooling, keep fooling!" Catalyst was not discouraged.
"Alas! I won't shed tears until I see the coffin, and I won't give up until I reach the Yellow River." Lu Yuan sighed and shook his head again, and the catalyst felt uncomfortable in his heart. Seeing Lu Yuan magically conjure up paper and pen, he quickly listed a system of linear equations in two variables, which was about the level of junior high school mathematics, and placed it in front of Alona.
Of course, Lu Yuan and Catalyst could come to the conclusion at a glance for a mathematical problem of this level. But Lu Yuan didn't do the calculations himself. Instead, he stood next to Nana with a confident look and let Nana do the calculations. The Catalyst was waiting nearby with a sneer to see what he was up to!
A few minutes later, Nana happily raised her hand to hand in the paper. Lu Yuan and Catalyst both had bad looks on their faces, with black lines hanging on their foreheads - even though Nana was at a junior high school math level, she still made a mistake...
"Dear, don't be in a hurry, take your time." Lu Yuan smiled and touched his head, while Nana obediently continued to bite the tip of her pen. Lu Yuan glanced at Catalyst proudly. Although our Nana is not good at math, she has a good attitude! Wait...is this another miscalculation? ! My veins are about to burst!
Wrong... wrong again... Lu Yuan and Catalyst were stunned! Speaking of a simple system of linear equations of two variables, are there so many ways to go wrong?
"Huh~", finally... When Nana finally performed the correct elimination, Lu Yuan and Catalyst let out a long sigh of relief, and then they glared at each other with contempt!
"That's it?" Catalyst wondered. "It's not over yet," Lu Yuan motioned for Alona to tell her the answer.
Nana happily raised the practice paper and announced loudly as if she had won a battle, "xeon is equal to 15, ynmos is equal to 21!" Catalyst's face changed, and he felt... the world was turned upside down!
As if the hourglass of the clock had reached its end, it changed from forward to reverse - the share of the world occupied by the Catalyst and Alona was instantly exchanged!
"...Reason" After a long time, the catalyst finally accepted the impossible reality and said with a hoarse voice.
"See for yourself, if you haven't forgotten the purpose of creating this world." Lu Yuan also stopped laughing at this time. Faced with such a lost main god "Catalyst", he couldn't bear to continue mocking. Therefore, Lao Lu seriously handed a data card and Nana's practice paper to the catalyst. As for Nana? She was now frightened by the sudden power... Oh, she was so happy, and she was opening her little mouth in a cute way.
"So that's it..." After Catalyst briefly looked at the contents of the data card, he connected all the causes and consequences. He thought about it thoroughly and couldn't help but sigh. "The purpose of creating this world in the first place...it turns out that I have forgotten it a long time ago! I lost, and the loser...is really not unfair!"
Yes... Catalyst thought, why did I create this world in the first place? When did I forget my original goal?
In fifty million years, Catalyst was first confused by that purely rational way of life, and then fell into a war with Lu Yuan for the world. He had long forgotten the original purpose - I created this world in the first place. Explore the mystery of "Element Zero"! My original dream was to be like the master god who cracked the secrets of the Force, and to make "Element Zero" one of the basic rules of the Origin Sea!
But since when did I forget my goal? Holding the answer to "Element Zero" in his hand, "Catalyst" felt that fifty million years ago was a dream, and the past was like wind.
"The last question," before leaving, the Catalyst asked, "Why don't you take it out before the world is initialized?" He raised the "answer" he had collected, "And such precious knowledge, give it to me for free. Is it good?"
There is no doubt that Lu Yuan asked Alona to calculate the final answer in order to bring the greatest benefit to Nana. This is completely understandable just looking at how much he cherishes Alona. But his preferential treatment to the catalyst made the catalyst confused - if Lu Yuan completes the cracking work before the world is initialized, the world will turn upside down at that moment - and then Nana and Lu Yuan can get the share after the initialization. Catalyst will have nothing to gain from the lion's share of the benefits.
Instead of initializing, 70% of the benefits are obtained by the catalyst.
"Because you created this world, and you have protected it for fifty million years. We are just latecomers, and that is your deserved share." Lu Yuan said sincerely. Although Dawn has invested decades of efforts by millions of people in order to crack "Element Zero", Lu Yuan will not say it. Whether the gain and the effort are equivalent, as long as you can convince yourself, it is enough.
Moreover, besides power, what Nana and Dawn care most about is obtaining a material world in which they can stand; but "Catalyst" doesn't care about such a world. He also owns many material worlds.
The initialized information and the information on cracking "Element Zero" can make up for his losses and leave him with enough gains so that his 50 million years have not been wasted...
"Thank you! You are the first human being that I want to thank." The catalyst left, and his last words still lingered.
"If we meet again... I hope we can become friends."
