37: Cute, right? Cute is enough
For these Leviathan remnants who hid in the dark corners of the universe to escape the Reapers, the glory of their ancestors has long been a distant memory.
There is no time-sensitive theory for the reaper's pursuit, and no matter how many thousands of years have passed before Rice Shan comes, these Leviathan remnants who have been carefully hidden will definitely be dead as long as they are discovered by the reapers.
Even if the average life expectancy is very long, but after so many years, the oldest Leviathan remnant does not know how many generations later, even if they still remember the glory of their race that once surpassed the stars through memory inheritance, but there is no real feeling if they have not experienced it in person.
In addition to boasting about their ancestors in front of some species that are still considered inferior civilizations in their eyes, they meet people who are similar to themselves and more powerful than themselves...... There doesn't seem to be much more to hold onto.
So the hundreds of Leviathans who came directly to the void crossed the void for less than an hour, and after discussing for less than an hour, they gave up their original bodies in accordance with what Mishan said, and used the new bodies that Mishan had provided them.
"The new body has at least one benefit, so that you will not be shouted and killed in this world." Mishan said to the Leviathan leader, who was not yet accustomed to sitting.
“…… We don't care about the hostility of the lower creatures. Tantan said that in order to name the current leader of the Leviathans, Mishan struggled for a long time among the three names "Lili", "Vivi" and "Tantan" before choosing the last name.
"All life is equal, where is there a distinction between the higher and the lower." Misr asked Tantan as he took a sip of General Anderson's treasure.
...... was tempted to snort to express his displeasure, but he was well aware that he would be punished for doing so.
"They're Leviathans?" Shepard, who was drinking with Rice Shan, asked strangely.
"Yes before, but now it is...... You can change the name, like how about Squid Niang? Mishan said with a smile.
Hearing Mi Shan's words, Tantan, whose height had dropped greatly from a few hundred meters to one meter two, shook his hair-like tentacles...... These tentacles extend directly from what appears to be a hat's headdress, which is actually neither a hat nor a headdress.
"......" Shepard glanced at Mishan with an indescribable look, and then lowered his head and took a sip of wine.
"Don't you think it's cute......" Mishan smiled unmindingly.
"Cute is cute......" Although it is unacceptable, Shepard can't talk nonsense with his eyes open, this group of Leviathan's new bodies is indeed very cute, and the cuteness wants to be hugged in his arms and rubbed around.
It's a pity that Shepard, who has seen Leviathan's true face, and even almost had his head explode because of communicating with Leviathan, can't accept this change from the other party at all.
"Cute enough, I'll give them to you if you like." Mishan raised his hand to feel Tantan's soft pointed head.
Hearing that Mishan regarded his people as "gifts", the leader of the Leviathan tribe who was rubbed his head showed an aggrieved expression.
Just now I said that life is equivalent, and now I think of myself as a gift...... This double standard is just too much.
"It's not a double standard." Mishan continued to rub Tantan's head and said, "All lives are equal. ”
"Give it to me?" Shepard was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Mishan was talking about.
"Well, after all, it's a person from the world, and it just so happens that they also recognize your ability...... Mi Shan said: "How about it, after testing, the combat effectiveness of their Psychic Commando is still good, if you don't need it, I'll give it to you Sister Wayne...... Well, maybe it's Sister Wayne. ”
"......" Since Wayne stayed at home and didn't follow, Shepard didn't know what kind of existence the other party was.
Tantan, who also didn't know about Wayne's existence, suddenly felt a chill, as if Shepard didn't agree and let them be taken away by Wayne, they would never be able to turn over.
In a way, it seems that this is indeed the case.
Although at the request of Misaki, these Leviathans changed their bodies...... But they were surprised to find that they had just changed their bodies, and that their essence had not changed at all.
All abilities, knowledge, and experience are retained...... In order to give himself a new body, the gender-misplaced Dr. Braun made the Human Revolutionary Union's technology tree in this area very high.
However, this also means that these Leviathans who have changed from "deep space beasts" to "squid girls" have not changed their attributes as indescribable beings.
If they were taken over by Vayne in this form, they would not become dependents, but would become Vayne's subordinates.
Their existence is completely tied to Vayne.
Because of this chill, Tan Tan looked at Shepard with a slightly expectant look.
"Alright, sir, I'll take it." Shepard remembered that the Leviathan had recognized her abilities, and since that was the case, it was a good idea to take it.
As for what Psychic Commando means, Shepard, who has seen some of the Leviathan's combat methods, can still understand it.
It is nothing more than using the Leviathan's special psychic ability as the main mode of combat.
Shepard, who had his first army, began to wait for Mishan to arrange his next mission.
"Mission?" Seeing Shepard's workaholic state like Greenhill, Misan picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass for the other party and asked, "Aren't you taking a few days off?" ”
"I'm not used to the days off." Shepard shook his head slightly and said, "I hope to prove my ability under your command, Sir. ”
"Well, the mission...... Mishan thought for a moment and said, "I do have a mission at hand right now, and it is very suitable for you and your Psychic Commando to carry out this mission." ”
"Just the command." Shepard immediately put his hands together and stood upright.
"But before this mission, you take your Psychic Commando on my ship first, get acquainted with your new team members, and then send me a report." Mishan said.
"Report?" Shepard was a little curious as to what the report was.
"You'll find out then." Yoneshan didn't elaborate.
“…… Yes, sir. There was a kind of Mishan who didn't elaborate, but it was actually a test of his feelings, Shepard saluted, and then left his home in the Divine Citadel with Tantan in a hurry.
…… Recently, because Rice Shan has occupied this apartment for a long time, Shepard feels that this family can be transferred.
Of course, the entire Citadel is now the property of the Human Revolutionary Federation.
According to Mishan's instructions, Shepard spent half a month touring Mishan's ship, and also went to the flagships of the First and Second Legions.
As a "quasi-supreme lord", coupled with the word of Mishan, no matter what secret place Shepard can go in and visit.
Shepard, who was stunned by the combination of various strange painting styles of the Human Revolution Federation, also vaguely felt what the task given to her by Mishan was during the investigation in the past half a month.
That is, the atmosphere in the whole People's Revolutionary Union is a little too fanatical.
After the investigation, Shepard wrote a report on the issue of overzealism.
Unfortunately, before she could hand over the report to Mishan, she found that Mishan had left the castle.
Shepard thinks that Misr Shan should not release her pigeons, and that not waiting for her means that something must have happened.
As Shepard speculated, Misr did end his trip to the Mass Effect world early due to something, returning to the human revolution capital star system, which owns two Earths.
In the town of Yanan, where Wayne and the Raven Guard Legionnaires built brick by brick, Mishan sat on the terrace of the replica Choir Church with his head bowed...... That is, Wayne, who is learning the bloodborne version of the praise of the sun posture area, asked Jiajia who was hanging by the doorpost on the side:
"How long has she been like this?"
"Yes...... It's been a month, boss. Jiajia, who was dangling from the door, replied.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Mishan asked.
"I'm afraid of disturbing the boss, ......" Jiajia said in a dodgy tone, in fact, she also wanted to solve this problem by herself.
However, in terms of results, it did not help.
"What's wrong with Wayne?" Mishan went straight to the point.
"If I'm not mistaken, Sister Wayne won't be able to find her way home." Jiajia said.
“…… Can't find your way home? Mishan blinked.
