20: There is no way back
In this universe, because the vast majority of civilizations have moved their tech trees to "Mass Effect"
Lacking other means of long-distance travel at their disposal, they wanted to cross the vast interstellar distances only through the "mass repeater", a device left behind by ancient civilizations.
In the beginning, many civilizations thought that these mass repeaters were left behind by a great civilization called the Protheus.
Through the active activity of the famous ghost agent Commander Shepard, it is gradually discovered that even the "Prosens", who once had an entire sphere of influence across the galaxy, are only users of mass repeaters, not makers.
Whether you like to admit it or not, the quality repeater ...... These are the key devices that have allowed many civilizations in this galaxy to join the cosmic family at a superfast speed since they stepped out of their home planet.
It was built by the "Reapers" who harvest the organic life forms of the galaxy every 50,000 years.
In other words, no matter how technological these civilizations were, they will eventually follow the path that the "reapers" have worked out for an unknown number of thousands of years.
It's also something that can't be helped, it's rare...... Or that there is almost no civilization that can resist this temptation that can make oneself soar when it has just stepped out of its home planet.
Especially these technologies left by the other party are not incomplete and need you to study and analyze them slowly, but a complete "gift package"
Once this poison gift package wrapped in a sweet cloak is eaten by civilization, it is only a matter of time before it is harvested by the reapers.
You are on the same technological route as the other party, and you are 108,000 miles behind the other party's level...... Your rebellion is just a joke.
But even if it's a joke, there will be no less fighting.
It's like the Earth has been battling a virus for three billion years with those hairless Homo erectus.
The continuation of one's existence is still imprinted in the instinct of all species.
Led by Shepard, the most faceted commander in the galaxy, the Humans, the Asari, the Turks, the Salarians, the Krogans, the Quarians, and the Quirellians who had just been brokered by Commander Shepard, were the synthesizers of the Quarians and the Good Guys.
It is composed of perhaps the largest starfleet for this current cycle.
Leaving the hideout, he came to the solar system where the Earth is located through a mass repeater located in the orbit of Pluto.
They were also greeted by the largest fleet of Reapers, ever built.
Maybe the next moment, this army will be reduced to pieces under the Reaper's beam-cutting cannon.
But no one will back down, even if fate dooms them to inevitable defeat, they will fight to the last moment in order to fight against the inevitable fate.
Commander Shepard, who was in the cockpit of the Normandy, at the forefront of the fleet, listened to the report of the pilot clown next to him with his hands on his chest:
"StarUnited Fleet Report"
Several thousand-meter-long Starlink dreadnoughts overtook the Normandy and rushed to the front of the fleet.
More cruisers and destroyers rushed up with the dreadnoughts.
According to Admiral Hackett's order, since this battle is taking place in the solar system, on Earth, the home of mankind.
Then generosity is today.
"Turkish Fleet Report"
Immediately behind the human Star Alliance fleet are the **** civilization turians with the strongest military power in the Citadel Council.
They were the first alien civilization that humans of this world encountered as they marched into the universe.
The "First Contact War" was fought between humans and the Turks, and the strength of the Turks made them realize that they were not so special.
The tenacity and fighting will of the human race have also made the Turks recognize the status of human beings.
"Asari Fleet Report"
In response to the Joker's report, the Destiny Transcendental, the glorious ship of the Asari, slowly passed over the head of the Normandy.
Although the Asari are often stigmatized by other races because of the racial characteristics of the female and must mate with other species to produce the next generation, they are often disparaged by other races
(Actually, Asari and Asari can also be used, and the flowers can also bear fruit)
But as the first of this round of civilization to discover the citadel, as well as the species with an average lifespan of nearly a thousand years.
They have always been the civilization with the strongest scientific and technological strength and individual strength in this round of civilization.
Behind the fleet is the fleet of the Quali civilization, and they will come except for this battle to determine the future of this round of civilization.
There is also a reward for Commander Shepard, and it is through the mediation of Commander Shepard that Quarians reconcile with the artificial intelligence life geth who once drove them out of their home planet, and return to their home planet after a long absence.
This is evident from the geth fleet and the quarian fleet sailing together and acting as protectors.
The geth's struggle against the Quarians was the most classic standard of "the creature is dissatisfied with the treatment of the creator, and does not want to die at the hands of the creator".
However, even if the geth drove the quarians out of their home planet, the geth still did not kill them all, and they always hoped that the creator would realize their mistakes and live with them again.
This hope became a reality with the help of Commander Shepard.
The pilot, who received all the fleet reports, looked up at the commander next to him and said:
"All fleets have been reported, Commander, ready to carry out your orders."
Shepard, who didn't respond immediately, looked at the Earth that was getting closer and closer, and asked:
"Are they coming?"
"Who are they, Commander?" The clown was stunned for a moment.
"The fleet of the People's Revolutionary Union." Shepard said.
Hearing the commander's order, the clown swiped a few times on the Normandy operation interface in front of him and said, "Except for the Reaper fleet, which far exceeds all previous records, no other fleet has appeared. ”
"......" Shepard fell silent again...... Because it is an open channel, the words of Commander Shepard just now can be heard on the bridges of every warship in this fleet.
But at this time, no one spoke...... Regardless of the race, they only recognized Shepard as the supreme commander of the operation, not the Star Alliance Admiral Hackett.
Noticing that the Reaper fleet had sensed this fleet and was beginning to react, Shepard gave the order without further entanglement:
"The battle is about to begin! Listen to me! ”
"Fire!"
At the sound of an order, hundreds of thousands of warships of different sizes shot out row after row of barrages...... In a cosmic engagement, the shells can fly towards the target without restrictions, so several cardinal ammunition will be fired before engaging the enemy, and then the entire fleet will rush into the enemy with the barrage in front of them.
Sounds like a fun way to fight, but it's actually a lot of fun...... Mass Effect World's Fleet Showdown is actually a line-up shot version of an interstellar battleship.
Behind the barrage of bullets are small fighters, which are the best way to destroy enemy shields and make medium-range or even short-range high-powered guns work before the capital ships of both sides stagger together.
…… However, since the Reaper's ships use Stress Shields instead of Mass Effect Shields, these aircraft are used to defend against Reaper drones.
At the same time as these small planes appeared, the fleet of 100,000 Reapers, which numbered 100,000 upwards, also launched a large number of cylindrical drones after the first wave of bullets unscathed.
There is no temptation, because both sides know that there is no other ending than "you live or die".
As soon as I came into contact, I entered the most brutal process of fighting and consuming, and every flicker in the quiet cosmic background was the fall of thousands or even tens of thousands of lives.
No one flinched, because there was no way back.
