The end of the Milky Way, outside the river system, this is a dark and silent endless universe. There is nothing here except vacuum and darkness. It seems that the light in the Milky Way has been abandoned here, unwilling to shine so far away local?

However, in this dark universe where there is no light and no objects, suddenly, at some point, countless points of dark yellow, blue, and red lights shine... They flashed and flashed. , First only a bright spot lights up, and then quickly spreads to a large area, the brighter the more, the larger the range!

Soon, these bright spots formed a large area in the dark and deep space outside the Milky Way galaxy as if they were attached to a star area outside the Milky Way...they were so numerous, it was like countless stars exuding differences. The light directly illuminates this dark and empty deep space universe...

However, they are not stars, nor stars that reflect light, because every bright spot here represents a huge and hideous battleship!

That’s right, all the light here comes from a giant giant warship. No one knows when they were here. However, tens of thousands of years ago in the last epoch, there was a Prophet named Pluo. The race gave them their name-Reaper!

at last……

After a lapse of 50,000 years, the main fleet of the Reapers sleeping outside the galaxy was finally awakened again after receiving the feedback from the collector base in the heart of the galaxy.

They have received the last harvested objects left in the galaxy, those Proxians, those'collectors' collected and fed back the incoming intelligence: information about the existence of their harvesters has been leaked, and the collector's general died tragically, It also makes them think that the time for harvesting is ripe, and a new round of harvesting will begin now!

A huge Reaper battleship transformed from Leviathan began to activate their mass effect engines, and began to slowly advance in the direction of the Milky Way. The 50,000-year feast is finally about to begin today... …This time, they still intend to do the same as what they have done in the past tens of millions of years, ready to go all out, using them to harvest countless epochs, and then accumulate the infinite number of warships to win this in one fell swoop A generation of stubborn galactic civilization is just like the last time we dealt with the Prophet!

In this galaxy, no race will be the opponent of their Reapers!

The Proxians who had prepared in the previous cycle have already failed, and this time, the various races of the Galactic Fortress that are not as developed as Proxian, and even the Galactic Fort Council races who have not prepared much, are also certain. It will not be the opponent of their reaper!

Because the number of their Reaper battleships is tens of thousands...

In fact, there are countless reincarnations, and even their Reapers themselves don’t know how many Reaper-class warships they have. As for the various Reaper soldiers under their hands, they are hundreds of millions... If it is not enough, they can be remanufactured temporarily during the harvesting process. As much as they are harvested, they can be manufactured as much as the spike technology given to Jies by the responders left in the galaxy, except that they still need More advanced.

There is nothing wrong with the harvesting behavior. They are just faithfully implementing the procedures set by the original creation race Leviathan: in order to protect the higher civilizations of the organic life in the galaxy, and to prevent them from being wiped out by advanced artificial intelligence, they harvest People must destroy them first before each advanced organic civilization develops artificial intelligence and destroys itself!

Then, the necessary information is extracted from the DNA of each organic life and made into specimens. In this way, both the organic life itself and the civilization information developed by them can be harvested by them in the form of data information. Keep it forever, so as to avoid the fate of being destroyed!

Although the behavior of having to destroy them in order to protect organic life seems very outrageous, according to the calculations of their pioneers, this is the only practical way, and there is no other better choice.

And their warships are just the necessary tools they need to execute the Leviathan orders.

Every time they harvest, they will always select the most suitable race to make a new "Reaper". After countless rebirths, their number of warships has reached a terrifying number... But under normal circumstances, When they are harvesting, the most powerful battleship made from the corpse of Leviathan is enough, and there is no need to use more other ships.

But no matter what, regardless of whether this behavior is reasonable or unreasonable, this time of reincarnation has officially begun...

Although Saron’s operation failed two years ago, they could not directly transmit through the Fortress Space Station, but this did not prevent them from using other backup options to enter the galaxy... unable to control the Fortress, at most it just prevented them from successfully controlling and Turning off the mass effect repeaters can't divide and encircle civilizations and races, and then harvest them one by one. It can't hinder them too much.

Now that the time has come, the time for harvesting is ripe, and they are going to perform their duties.

They must complete the highest mission that was given when they were created: ‘protect’ the higher organic civilization of the galaxy!

——————

Only half a day has passed since the experiment of Dr. Moding from Serraru. In Shepard’s captain’s room, Shepard could not care about his physical exhaustion and the faint pain in his heart after the brain was attacked. He just panted slightly. Breathing, in front of a huge holographic screen, he reported to General Anderson in it all the information they had just learned from the mouth of the collector general.

Originally she could take a day off first, but she didn't dare, because the matter was too serious, so after a little recovery, she reported everything to Anderson who was far away in the fortress.

"This is probably the situation..."

In less than half an hour, Shepard reported everything in detail and submitted the complete video data of the experiment they had previously conducted in the laboratory, as well as Dr. Moding’s comments on the collectors of the Prosen All data analysis and so on.

"Sir! The situation is really critical now!"

"The collectors are the Proxians who perished 50,000 years ago. This is a sure thing! Whether it's me or the Star Alliance, we all have solid evidence in the'Horizon' colony. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. !"

"But, what is even more terrifying now is: the Proxians we know are perished by the hands of those reapers! Harvesting once in 50,000 years, countless reincarnations, they... have been harvested continuously for hundreds of millions of years. ..."

At this point, Shepard's tone was trembling...

This thing is really scary the more I think about it, the more desperate I think about it!

"According to calculations, it is indeed 50,000 years that have passed since the era of the extinction of the Pluo Immortals, and now it is finally our turn to harvest us again!"

"This matter is terrible. We must look at this matter with the most resolute attitude and be prepared for it! Otherwise... the perished Proxian will be our lesson!"

"After the Reaper arrives, with us now, we will definitely not do better than Proxian!"

Shepard was a little anxious, speaking loudly to the Admiral Anderson in the castle of God in the communication.

She had no way to directly contact the senior leaders of Star Alliance, and there was no better way to transfer such important information to the trusted Admiral Anderson.

Presumably, now, whether it is the Phantom Man of Cerberus or the crew of other races on her ship, I am afraid that important information has been conveyed to their respective races through various channels. Are you here?

As for the other races, believe it or not, Shepard no longer wants to entangle too much. She has long been used to thankless things.

"..."

"Shepard, do you think this thing...is it true? They...the reapers, do they have such a big threat level?!"

Seriously, this news is really too shocking...

For the Reaper, in fact, Admiral Anderson himself has always been willing to believe that the other party exists! However, now, after he has really learned of the opponent's existence and true strength, he is somewhat reluctant to believe... Or is he a little scared? !

The terrible nightmare that existed before countless epochs...

A harvest every fifty thousand years...

Its name is the meaning of its existence...

And all the higher civilization races in their entire galaxy are nothing more than the crops they "planted" in the huge flowerpot of the galaxy?

When they matured, they came to reap, and they have continued for countless cycles. Even the powerful Proxian civilization that can be seen from the ruins, almost all over the galaxy, was defeated by the slaughter of the harvesters. Under the circumstances, the entire civilization collapsed and was ruined?

If that's the case, then what should they humans, their Star Alliance, use to resist such enemies? Why do they feel that they are stronger than the Prophet and the countless races harvested by the Reapers?

The truth...

It still made Anderson feel that it was really too cruel...

He had always thought that the so-called Reaper was just a certain powerful and militant race or country in a hidden area of ​​the galaxy that was not explored. They watched everything about the Castle Council and wanted to replace it. ?

But how can I think that it is such an outrageous and powerful existence now?

Facing such a behemoth, facing such a horrible existence that has existed for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years, and even regarded the destruction of civilization as a ‘harvesting’ existence, what should they do and what can they do?

"Sir!"

"Although I don't want to hit you, from what we'see' today, they will only be stronger and stronger than we thought!!"

This is not that Shepard wants to combat the enthusiasm of the opponent, but the fact that it is so!

Whether they are human beings or other sacred fort races, they must face this matter squarely and unite and prepare, otherwise, what awaits all of them will be the inevitable cruel fate of being'harvested'!

In the face of the absolute strength of the enemy, they had no better way other than one mind.

"..."

The Anderson in the holographic picture slowly closed his eyes, and his somewhat vicissitudes of life revealed a little bit of depression and helplessness... Obviously, he is now in a state of desperation.

He suddenly felt that sometimes, knowing the truth of the matter might not necessarily be a good thing?

"Shepard..."

"Can you tell me, what are you going to do now? And, what should I do now? Maybe you can give us a good idea?"

After sighing, Anderson asked Shepard intently after a little cheer.

This former subordinate, the female warrior he watched the other side grow up step by step, was actually very pleased that the other side was able to complete the task brilliantly in a short time... However, he also felt a little bit for the other side Worthless and regrettable.

This was originally the entire galaxy, or at least the burden that the entire **** fort race should work together to share, but all fell on the other party...In the end, the other party did what she could do the best, but... It was even more serious than imagined, but her sacrifice and hard work got such a result?

"Report sir!"

"We are flying faster than light, and I am going to the nearest Mass Effect repeater, and then transmit our Normandy II directly to the Bahak Galaxy!"

"We are going to stop the Reaper from entering the galaxy now, and buy time for you!"

In fact, Shepard knew in her own heart that there was no way to stop the Reaper from coming to Normandy II alone, but now that she knew the existence and purpose of the Reaper, she felt that she had to do something... If you can't help each other, at least you have to buy a little bit of time for humans and other races, instead of rushing to fight in haste!

Yes!

time……

What all races in the galaxy lack now is time, more preparation time!

"Bahak Galaxy?"

"Shepard, don't you want to go..."

Recalling the reports he had just heard from the other party and the related content in the video data, Anderson frowned and thought for a while, and naturally guessed what Shepard wanted to do, and then he just Looking up at each other in amazement.

"Yes!"

"Your Excellency! I'm going to destroy the Batari Alpha Repeater and delay the Reaper's entry into the galaxy! By then, even if the enemy is flying faster than ours, I will be able to win for several months at least. time!"

"Besides this, I really can't think of any better way!"

The mass repeater is a large-scale artificial creation in this galaxy that can achieve long-distance space jumps.

Through the acceleration of the mass repeater, can spacecraft of any size achieve hyperspace jump, or it can be said to be ‘tele-moving’?

That is a safe and efficient mode of interstellar travel!

Those Mass Effect repeaters distributed throughout the galaxy are generally divided into two types: primary repeaters and secondary repeaters! The main-level mass effect repeater can directly transmit the ship over a long distance of at least more than a thousand light years. However, they are generally fixed paired connections, although only from one specific repeater to another Certain repeaters move between them, but they can often jump directly from one cantilever of the galaxy to another cantilever.

The secondary mass effect repeater is another mode. Although it can only send the spacecraft a few hundred light-years away, they are indeed multidirectional! They can send the spacecraft around any primary or secondary mass effect repeater within its effective working range.

Originally, all galactic races, including Shepard, naively thought that all mass repeaters were made and left over by the Prossen who had a glorious civilization more than 50,000 years ago in the last era. Legacy, just like the beacons and Pluosian sites scattered throughout the galaxy, and even the castle space station? Therefore, they have always been able to use them grandly and enjoy the convenience they bring to their navigation in the galaxy.

However, there is now enough evidence to show that those Mass Effect repeaters are actually just special tools left by the Reapers in order to promote the development of the civilizations of the galaxy and facilitate their'harvesting'. That's it?

Because of this, Shepard decided at this moment: In any case, she is going to destroy the Batari Alpha Repeater and let the Reaper’s warships fly longer outside the galaxy? Otherwise, once the Batari Alpha Repeater is occupied by the Reapers, they can easily send a large number of troops to the surrounding repeaters, and then radiate and occupy the entire galaxy!

"The risk is too high..."

"Shepard, you should know by yourself what it means to destroy a repeater! Although the evidence is clear now, I don't think the Bataris will let you do that. After all, there, There are still many of their colonies?"

For the Bahak Galaxy, Anderson, as the Admiral of the Star Alliance, certainly knows it!

In that galaxy, there are the strange Bataris who have been hostile to their earthly people, and there are nasty and small-scale conflicts, and even in order to grab territory with humans, they will not hesitate to withdraw from the castle to show threats and protests! Where do they have several colonies and a population of nearly 300,000.

And once Shepard destroys the Batari alpha repeater, that powerful and violent dark energy and pulse will instantly sweep the entire galaxy! By then, all the creatures in the entire Bahak galaxy will be burned clean by violent energy in an instant, and will no longer be suitable for living and living creatures for tens of thousands of years!

That kind of disaster will be devastating...

Therefore, this is exactly the stipulation in the "Holy Fort Convention": Even if there is a war, no race is allowed to attack and destroy the mass effect repeater.

"I know they won't agree, but I still have to do that!"

Time is running out, the Reapers will come to the Milky Way at any time, and once the opponent enters the Bahak Galaxy, it will be too late! If she really wants to stop the Reaper, if she wants to stop the opponent from attacking the galaxy, then she must destroy the repeater!

Otherwise, there is no other choice.

As for those Batari...

Then we can only sacrifice them first...

After all, even if she Shepard's statement is strong, even if she puts everything on the other side's table, they will definitely not be happy... Even if she actually agrees to her plan, it will be after all the personnel have been evacuated. !

However, they don't have that time, she must race against time!

Besides, Shepard is not a saint, but the Bataris have always been in a state of hostility to their humans on earth, let alone there is a legitimate reason for being'tall,' even if there is no reason. They just blasted their repeaters, what can they do with herself, ask the castle to judge themselves or punish humans?

Her Normandy No. 2 will be invisible, as long as she acts more secretly, she won’t be afraid of being discovered by the other party!

Moreover, sanctions are obviously impossible!

Think of the original Saron, he has not attacked so many colonies, and even raided the castle of God, the number of deaths is far more than 300,000, but in the end, the castle of God did not stop after seeing the death of Saron. Hold it again?

What's more, the Bataris are actually just a group of rebels who have abandoned the Fortress of Gods. They are not protected by the Fortress of Gods Council. At this critical time, no one will protest for their rebellion or Mediated.

Big deal, after bombing the Batari alpha repeater and destroying the Bahak galaxy, she ran back to Earth and surrendered herself, asking Admiral Anderson to come forward and arrest herself for a while, or delay the trial. Hold the Batari first, and then estimate that it will not be long until the harvesters arrive, and she will be able to come out again to continue jumping and fighting against those harvesters.

"Shepard..."

"I won't give you any advice on this matter, nor can I help you make any choices. I can't even admit that we had this conversation. Do you understand?"

"But I still hope that you can consider this matter carefully..."

Although Anderson is not as proficient in politics and the like as Udine, he also knows that once he is a human ambassador and council member, at the same time a senior official of the Star Alliance Admiral blends into what Shepard will do. In that big event, I am afraid that the war between humans and Batari must be inevitable!

High-level leaders of one race, no matter what the reason, should not be involved in the murder of hundreds of thousands of another race. In addition to triggering an all-out war, there will be no better results!

Especially now that the Reaper is about to come to a critical period, he does not want to grow out of the box, saving his strength for the future is the best choice.

"If I want to stop the Reaper temporarily, I must destroy that repeater!"

"Anyway, whether I do it or not, the Reapers will come to the Bahak system sooner or later! By then, the Bataris will also not be spared... and the Alpha Repeater is their shortcut to the rest of the galaxy. Although I also know that I shouldn't do cruel things, but, Chief Anderson, I will not escape!"

"I have already died once..."

Think about the spacecraft that attacked you at that time. It seems that the collectors did it? The collectors, or the reapers, they seem to be afraid of her Shepard...

Then, she must do more!

"Since I was the one who organized Cerberus to resurrect to fight the Reapers, now that the Reapers are finally coming, I should do what I should do!"

"Not to mention this, I almost forgot..."

"Sir Anderson, isn't Cerberus the terrorist organization wanted by the entire Divine Fort race? And I am working for Cerberus. Of course, I can also say that I am a terrorist. Then I will bomb one. Isn’t it a normal and reasonable thing to be a repeater of a race galaxy hostile to humans?"

At this point, Shepard smiled bitterly at the same time as a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

That's right, Shepard herself is not a Star Alliance navy, even if it is a castle, she did not publicize her return and restore her original position, nor did she announce any mission to her! Thinking about it this way, when she is a terrorist who has something to do with Cerberus, there is really no need to worry too much when doing things.

As long as she thinks it is right, that's okay!

Anyway, even if she didn't want to do that kind of thing, wait a while, the leader of Cerberus, the phantom man, would definitely order her to do that?

Cerberus, whom she has served so far, is really an extremely hateful alien race, and believes that humanity should be the supreme ‘terrorist organization’! They killed aliens, not to mention those who were in conflict with humans, but also severed diplomatic and economic relations with the fortress, and became the Bataris of the rebel force, even the Asari or the Asari in the fortress race. Cerberus, under such circumstances, Cerberus must be able to explode correctly!

If she thinks about it in this way, Shepard suddenly feels that the guilt in her heart about the blasting operation that she is about to start seems to have really alleviated a lot?

"Ugh……"

"Shepard, maybe you don't know, the situation is terrible now..."

"Although you smashed the collector's conspiracy in the'Horizon' colony and shot down one of their ships, but... that is not all of them!"

"I don't know why, their collectors are mobilizing on a large scale and frantically attacking our colony in the Realm God Galaxy. This has caused part of our Star Alliance's attention to be diverted to the side of the Realm God Galaxy."

"And now, you say those reapers are coming again?"

The colony of the World God galaxy was attacked, collectors frequented and confiscated, harvesters were coming again, and now the Castle Council was also being restrained by the rebellion of the poor, plus previously ignored and did nothing about his situation reported by Anderson... These unfavorable situations are mixed together, and Anderson really feels exhausted.

"I think……"

"Huh? Sorry, you wait a moment!"

Anderson, who was about to continue to say something, suddenly frowned, because he seemed to see his emergency communicator flashing wildly. It seemed that the Star Alliance military had important information ready to be delivered to him. A member of the Council of Humanity and Admiral who has nothing to do in the Castle of God?

"!?"

"Shepard, I think, you don't need to go to the Bahak Galaxy now!!"

Just glanced at the information he had received, Anderson's originally tangled face immediately became extremely shocked and serious. Then, after taking a deep breath, he said anxiously to Shepard who was communicating with him.

"Admiral, why is this again? Has something changed?"

Shepard didn't quite understand it. The other party had already clicked on his own behavior just now. Why did he suddenly change his mind after reading a certain message?

"Forget it!"

"Let's see for yourself! This is an urgent help message from the Bahak Galaxy that Star Alliance has just received!"

"Admiral Steven Hackett has a lurking agent in the Bahak Galaxy, an investigation base, and a guy named Dr. Manda Kenson. She is studying the remains of a Reaper. It was her last message to Star Alliance..."

"Of course, now they are finished!"

After Anderson finished speaking, he released photos and images. It was a chaotic scene and a huge spacecraft appeared in the starry sky in the distance. The number of them covered the entire universe and looked very Infiltrating.

Those strangely shaped spaceships are exactly the same as the one that appeared in the castle at the beginning!

"Sir!"

"Then, that is...?!"

With a cry of exclamation, Shepard took two steps directly forward, pressing his hands on the instrument table, as if he wanted to get closer to see more clearly.

"Yes!"

"Oh... I'm sorry, Shepard, our movements are still slow!"

"The reapers you've been talking about...they are finally here! Manda Kenson's doctor's work has just begun. Before there is time to study, the reapers have already arrived!"

"we……"

Ugh……

Not knowing why, Anderson felt relieved now.

Now that the Reaper has arrived, he does not need to continue to struggle whether the Reaper is as powerful as he imagined...because the facts have proved that the enemy is stronger than he thought! And the information sent back from the secret research base of the Star Alliance, the Reaper warships that appeared on it, must be just some of the enemy's forwards, right?

Countless warships of the kind that attacked the castle in the first place appeared in the galaxy. What kind of horror scene would it be, Anderson felt terrible after thinking about it!

"How could this be?!"

Shepard didn't know what to say...

She originally planned to use the extraordinary speed of Normandy II to rush to the Bahak galaxy first, and then use the stealth characteristics of Normandy II to sneak on to a massive asteroid and quickly give The asteroid is installed with a mass effect engine, and after calculating its orbit, it directly accelerates and hits the Alpha Repeater!

But now, those harvesters, they come so fast?

She was thinking before that after she bombed the repeater, she went to the Omega 4 repeater and bombed the repeater that was connected to the collector’s nest!

however……

Now that the Reaper has successfully arrived in the galaxy, all her plans have been in vain. Fortunately, she was still complacent about defeating the collector... I am afraid, it is really like the collector general said. Yes, because of what they did, it led to the early arrival of the Reapers and accelerated their destruction? !

"Okay! Shepard!"

"Now your Normandy II can turn around, go back to our solar system as soon as possible!"

"It's about time... This time, I will submit all of your and our evidence to the Fort God Council. Whether they believe it or not, I will submit my resignation directly and let Udine take over me. Go and wrestle with those inactive bastards! Then, I will return to the headquarters of Star Alliance as soon as possible, in a few days at the latest!"

"At that time, I am afraid that you will still need to tell us something in front of our Star Federation Council... I think, apart from you, no one knows those Reapers better than you. Our Star Federation must prepare for war soon! "

After that, Anderson no longer cared about Shepard, who was a little desperate, he himself sighed helplessly, and then hurriedly closed his communication directly.

"..."

Never expected that those harvesters would come at this critical juncture...

What is the significance of the efforts they made before?

Think about the pictures you saw under the mind control of the collector general, and think about the first-hand information that Admiral Anderson just passed to him, the photos of the Reaper ships already in the Bahak system and Video, Shepard suddenly didn't know what to do.

Now that the Reaper has officially arrived, what will be the end of waiting for this galaxy?

In this regard, Shepard no longer dared to imagine...

Perhaps no better, under the raid by the Reaper’s huge army, the entire galaxy will fall completely within a few months and become like the Proxian of 50,000 years ago. The glorious civilization is instantly destroyed, and then left. The next relics that have survived, waiting for the civilizations of the next era of reincarnation to excavate and feel complacent?

Ah……

If, two years ago, the guys in the castle were willing to listen to her own warnings and actively prepare for the arrival of the Reapers, I am afraid that they would never be as passive as they are now?

I don’t know what kind of attitude those self-righteous councillors and other bureaucrats have after they learned that the Reaper’s army has arrived and that the entire galaxy is at stake?

Will they continue to be like those ostriches on earth, just bury their heads in the sand, and then continue to pretend that they cannot see the dangers outside? !

Shit...

Just as Shepard leaned against the wall of her captain’s room and slowly sat down on the icy spacecraft floor, thinking about certain things, the door of her captain’s room was opened from the outside. Then a little girl wearing a red skirt and casual clothes, carrying a stuffed bear in her left hand and a big ice cream in her right, ran in.

"what?"

"Sister Shepard, what's wrong with you? It's cold on the ground, aren't you afraid of freezing your ass?"

(?ω?)?

Originally, Annie wanted to find a good location in this comfortable and spacious captain's room, and then eat the things in her hand and her bag beautifully, without letting others discover it.

However, as soon as she entered, she spotted a certain Shepard who was leaning against the bulkhead and sitting on the cabin floor with a sad face in a daze.

Looking at the other person's current state, it seems that you are in a bad mood? Or maybe it was affected by the collector villain just now?

However, Annie felt that the spirit and nerves of this big sister should have been very tough, the kind of guy who has big nerves and is not afraid of falling! In addition, after the opponent was resurrected by some people in a messy way, it became even more unlike normal people. It shouldn't be the situation of being sluggish after being hit by a mental power once. !

"Are you crying?"

(*?ω?)?

When she got closer, Annie wanted to see the other party's crying face clearly, to see if there were any traces of tears, and then...she could laugh at the other party fiercely!

Because, even she herself hasn't cried for a long time. This big sister Shepard is so hot, how can she do things that only children can do?

"No, nothing..."

He looked up at this little guy who was eating milky white sticky cream with his mouth and face all over him, and was staring at him with round and cute big eyes. Shepard barely showed a comparison. Crying with an ugly smiling face, then he shook his head dejectedly.

"No! You must have something!"

"Are you in a bad mood?"

(?_?)?

"In that case... then I will give you this delicious ice cream! When I am in a bad mood, I like to eat, and then I feel better soon!"

(*^▽^*)/

Although Annie had only eaten a few bites, she was a little bit reluctant... But, seeing the other party's pitiful way of crying, Queen Anne reluctantly let the other party eat it!

Anyway, it's a big deal that she will go to the cafeteria later and ask the chef to make another flavor for herself? She has to think about it, she has not eaten that kind of taste?

(Little master, you like to burn people when you are in a bad mood! When you are in a good mood, you like to eat... About this, the little one is very, very sure!

(●￣(?)￣●)

——The words just now seem to be true, but it is a pity that she can't deceive Tibbers to anyone!

Its disgusting little master likes to bully others and transfer his negative emotions when he is in a bad mood! For example, when you are unhappy, you like to burn someone to play, if there is no bad person to burn, then beat it to play with Tibbers? That kind of behavior is simply utterly conscientious, tragic, inhumane... etc. omit a hundred adjectives! )

"Uh! No, thank you!"

"By the way, Annie... Is there anything you really want to do?"

Seeing that this carefree little girl still wanted to share something for herself kindly, after frowning, Shepard wondered if she thought of something, and suddenly asked.

"What do you want to do especially?"

"Um... this..."

(?_?)?

"It doesn't seem to be there yet... Besides wanting to play happily and eat all kinds of delicious foods, there is nothing I really want to do now!

(ˉ﹃ˉ)

Of course, compared to the fun things, the delicious ones should be ranked a little higher. Her Queen Anne will only think about playing fun things after eating enough and sleeping.

If there is no fun, then go to Meimeida to sleep until you wake up naturally?

"So..."

"Little Annie! I seem to know a human colony. Although it’s a little far away, it can be there in half a day with a repeater. There are a lot of fun and delicious things on it, or... I'll take you to play some God!"

"Don't worry, this time I will treat you and I will definitely not hit your star coin idea!"

After gritting her teeth, Shepard finally decided: Before the arrival of the Reapers, and before the terrible disaster swept the entire galaxy, she would take advantage of the time left and take this little girl who helped them a lot. Guy, go to a leisure vacation home planet and play for a few days, and use her remaining funds of Normandy II and the authority of the ghost of the gods to travel on public funds!

Anyway, if you don't squander it now, maybe there will be no chance to use it again in the future, right? Then by the way, at the same time, the crew of the entire Normandy II can rest and play for a few days. After all, they have followed her for so long...

Of course, this is still Shepard's treat. She is not short of money now, and she doesn't want to use it anymore!

"Huh?!"

Σ(⊙▽⊙”)!!!

"Sister Shepard, are you...really okay today?"

After blinking, Annie thought for a while, and threw her little bear to the ground, replaced it with a cold ice cream in her left hand, and covered her right hand covered with cream stains directly onto the dazed Sister Shepard sitting on the ground. On his forehead...

"I don't seem to be sick either..."

"Let's say, what the **** is going on with you guy today, everyone knows, you guy is very stingy, there must be a problem now, how can you be so generous?!"

Anne’s Amoryn told her: When some people don’t have anything to do, they must be uneasy and kind!

Now, she must be careful, careful and then careful! Anyway, no matter how she looks at it now, she feels that something is wrong with the other party, and there must be something hiding from her!

"Ok!"

"That's because...the reapers are coming soon..."

In fact, they are already here...

Soon, that kind of news will surely spread throughout the galaxy! At that time, even if you want to play, it is probably impossible... Under the flames of war sweeping across the galaxy, I am afraid that no one will be spared, right?

However, Shepard didn’t want to talk about such terrible things to this eight-year-old guy too much at this time. It was too cruel, so you might as well let the other party eat, drink, and play carefree every day. Okay.

Now that the information is not equal, she can make a time difference and let their Normandy crew spend a few days in luxury without leaving too much regret!

And if you think about it seriously, it seems that Shepard really never went on vacation! Since she joined the Star Alliance Navy, she has either been fighting the enemy every day, or on the way to prepare to fight the enemy.

"Ha! Take a look, I said, how could you guys be so kind?!"

(〃’▽’〃)?

After happily taking a bite of her ice cream, Little Annie was able to laugh.

It turned out that this stingy guy felt that he might not be able to beat those reapers, so he wanted to have a good time at the end, and still want to use her name as a kid?

"..."

"Damn little guy, just tell me, are you going or not?!"

After patted her **** and got up from the ground, Shepard stared at the little kid who had exposed her thoughts face to face.

She felt that after this vacation, she would directly find a more remote planet and send this little guy out! Then, hope that the reaper can let her live a whole childhood carefree before harvesting to the other side's remote planet?

Anyway, the next cruel battle with those Reapers, even if it was defeated, even if she died again, Shepard didn't want to take this little guy with her.

Because those things are the responsibility of these fighters, not what this few-year-old guy should take on.

"Go! Of course I want to go!"

?(?>?

A great place for free eating, drinking, and playing, how could Annie miss this great opportunity?

"but……"

"Sister Shepard, I can tell you secretly. In fact, we don't have to worry about those harvesters. I have a lot of fleets myself, so maybe I don't have to worry about them at all!!"

Annie said indifferently, though, she doesn’t know how powerful the Reapers are, and how many there are... But if it’s like those Collector ships and soldiers, then the tribes of her Kepulu zone The army, whether it is warships, soldiers, or other units, will not counsel them!

In her Kepulu zone, humans, protoss and bugs, they are fighting fiercely! Especially for those bugs, it is too simple to occupy a planet. Just find a planet and drop a billion or eight billion or so, and they can quickly occupy the territory and destroy all enemies without commanding anything.

As long as they can find the right resources, the number that can be developed can make any race feel desperate! Otherwise, the original humans and protoss would not be beaten so badly by the bugs. People from bugs, from battleships to small dogs, can be quickly corrupted with their eggs. Just ask if you are afraid?

Those Krogan people, even if they can reproduce, can they reproduce one ten thousandth of the speed of the insects?

"Ah!"

"Boy! Isn't that the hero federation in the Kepulu sector that you brag about before?"

I don't know why, after talking to the little guy, she was suddenly amused by him.

Shepard did not learn about the rebellion from the Fortress Space Station, nor did anyone tell her about the captured weapons data, otherwise, she would definitely not think about it that way now.

"I didn't brag!"

"If you don't believe me, I will prove it to you now!!"

(`へ′*)ノ

After being looked down upon by this nasty guy several times, Annie was a little unhappy! Therefore, she felt it in her pocket on the spot, and then soon she took out a beautiful magic gem that also exuded blue energy fluctuations.

"This……"

"What is this broken stone? I seem to feel that there are power fluctuations in it?"

Shepard was a little puzzled, this little guy, what good is it to take out a beautiful stone now? Moreover, the light emitted by that weird stone does not seem to be due to radiation, but some kind of power?

She sees more creatures with supernatural powers. Whether it is humans or other alien races, or even animals or those collectors, many who have been exposed to element zero or have been radiated by element zero may mutate into abnormalities. can!

but……

It was really the first time she saw a stone with supernatural powers, it was strange!

"It's not a "broken stone"! Its name is called Space Gems, and it's amazing!"

Of course, this piece is just a copy, it has really been'digested' by her! However, in addition to being not durable, this copycat product is not very durable at all!

It's just that, it can only be used as a disposable item. When the energy is used up, it is useless and can only be discarded.

"Space gem? A strange name, just a gem, what use is it?"

Gemstones are not valuable here in the Milky Way, because they are actually minerals formed under special conditions. With the current technology, no gems can be produced even if they cannot be dug out, and no one is guaranteed. Can identify true and false!

Therefore, in the advanced civilization of the galaxy, gems have lost their significance as valuables. Only star coins and currencies of various races are the only equivalents.

"Of course it's useful, you are optimistic now!"

After speaking, Annie took out something that seemed to be a communicator, and at the same time used the blue space gem in her hand to open a small space door connecting the interstellar world, so that her instrument signal could be connected to the capital Haven. In Xingdi's office.

"this is!!"

Shepard almost rounded his eyes, and the broken rock actually opened a...'space door'? !

"Crack? Is anyone there?!"

Annie took out the communicator and yelled after seeing a good signal.

Soon, a young female officer wearing a standard military uniform that Shepard did not recognize appeared on the holographic communication interface of the communicator in Annie's hand.

'Hello! ’

‘Your Excellency the Great Head Anne, welcome you back! ’

‘Excuse me, what is your order? ’

This time the communication was finally not as troublesome as the last time when the bad guys burned people in Washington, and there was no need to verify more identities. Annie directly contacted her office in the mansion of the head of state.

"Of course there is!"

"I am being bullied by a group of bad guys called Reapers in this cosmic world. I want you to send a fleet to help me fight. The more the better!"

After putting the communicator in the hands of Shepard who was standing in front of him in a daze, she licked ice cream in one hand and waved her fist in the other. Little Annie, who didn't seem to be bullied at all, spoke so viciously.

Originally, she didn't want to be a savior, nor did she want people from the Kepulu region to come here to fight, but... she shouldn't be despised by this big sister Shepard!

She just wants to prove it to the other person, she is so spicy, she never brags! !

'Ok! Your Excellency Head Anne, the order has been received! ’

‘However, this matter is beyond my authority. Now I will connect you to General Galen immediately...’

The female officer diverted the signal directly after quickly operating and recording something.

"Oh……"

However, she hadn't waited for Annie to continue to say something, nor did she wait for the sluggish Shepard to come back to her senses, a face full of short beard, wearing a heavy golden CMC armor, and a hideous bear head on his chest. The strong man with the pattern soon appeared in the image of the holographic communication device~lightnovelpub.net~ Great! It is indeed you, the head of state Anne! ’

‘I heard there was a fight? Then teleport me over! It’s not that I’m telling you, after defeating UED’s second invasion, my power broke through again! When I am close now, a big sword can smash an enemy battleship! ’

‘You may not know that during the last test, I destroyed a Protoss mothership with one move, which caused me to lose money for several years...’

Someone who was a little bit funny, after seeing their little head of state who looked like a **** in the communication interface, he began to brag vigorously.

'what? You said that there are many enemies and many powerful warships? how many? Maybe hundreds of thousands? ’

'That one……'

‘The subordinate feels that the one-on-one issue should be slowed down for the time being until I bring one or two combined fleets? ’
