Chapter 409: Equations
The castle blooms like a five-petal pattern on the Giant Serpent Nebula, wrapped in crimson flames, which is very beautiful.
All the high-rise buildings, amusement parks, famous landmarks, botanical gardens rich in species...... Everything fell apart in the tide of energy, turning into lonely alloy skeletons, and the huge city was like the ruins of the end after thousands of years of corrosion.
The Reaper fleet had lost the ability to activate the negative energy engines from the moment the Optimus Furnace collapsed, and they struggled limply 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. Ignoring the other warships around them, they directly accelerated to a faster-than-light state, and frantically sped away from the Serpent Nebula. It's just that the main repeater of the Serpent Nebula has been destroyed, and they are destined to experience a period of interstellar wandering and even alien life on the long journey home - but fortunately the "Dawning City" is still there, and although the huge "Dyson Pit" itself is a super repeater, it does not maintain any connection to the main repeater, so it is safe and sound in the explosion.
Therefore, if these street children lack supplies to return home, they at least have the option of "online shopping......
The Normandy was among the ones who turned and fled, and although they were stranded until the end - they watched the Citadel explode, but they couldn't wait for Shepard to return! Just a few minutes ago, the geth "legion" took the AI EDI of the Normandy and suddenly uploaded their own code, and they lost another companion! And this time it's their captain......
The ships are running for their lives. Heavy grief also spread on board. Finally, with the exception of Joker, who was sailing the ship, the rest of the crew spontaneously gathered under the ship's memorial wall.
It had the names of all the dead of the Normandy - Presley (the navigator of the Normandy SR1). There is also Annie's ...... It is likely that the list will get even longer after this war......
But they couldn't believe it anyway, they would see the captain's name on it! You know, after so many impossible, suicidal, mortal missions, they have always believed that Shepard is immortal...... From the Battle of Eden to the Wormmeer Suicide Mission, from the Phoenix Cluster Assault to the Omega 4 Repeater Death Crossing ...... No matter how dangerous the situation, she can lead her crew to defeat the enemy and escape from life!
And yet to this day. Is this all coming to an end?
Liara clung to her broken rib chest and wept silently; Garras was in a wheelchair and Tali was pushing him. bow your head in silence; The obstructive pear stared at the memorial wall, her hands constantly changing between clenching her fist and letting go, and her mood was complicated; The ship's doctor took the wine Shepard had bought for her, and now there was half a bottle left. The two agreed to have a drink together after defeating the Reaper...... Dozens of people walked silently around the memorial wall. Form a small semicircle in a circle.
Everyone lowered their heads, silently recalling everything about Shepard......
……
"Ah~ damn it!" The body fell straight down, and the sharp pain when the broken bones were intertwined, suddenly pulled Shepard out of his semi-coma!
"Huhu~" After waking up, Sister Xue breathed hard. Even though every breath involved her broken ribs, she was in great pain. But inhaling oxygen can keep her from falling unconscious. Sister Xue reluctantly looked around and found that this was definitely not the Divine Castle in Destruction! The underside of the body is flat and moderately hard, apparently a bed. As for the clean and tidy environment around. It looked so familiar—if she was not mistaken—that it was her ship's medical room!
"Lovely... All go... Where? The ship doctor... Edie?! Sister Xue looked at the empty cabin, and felt like she wanted to cry without tears. Anyone? …… I think I can salvage it again! ”
******
At this moment. If the world sees the world collapsing.
Then what they see in the eyes of Catalyst, Alona and Lu Yuan is the renewal of Vientiane!
With the official conclusion of the Mass Effect trilogy, the 50 million years of world initialization work has finally come to an end, successfully completed - cities, planets, nebulae, plants, animals, and all civilizations...... And so on, from a slightly illusory state to a complete solidification.
It is only at this moment that everything truly begins to "exist" - not in a philosophical sense, but in a multidimensional physical existence.
It's hard to put into words.
If you don't need a description, then even though the world before it is just as real, everyone who is qualified to read it knows that it must be missing the most important thing compared to the world after initialization! With this magical last stroke, the whole world "comes alive". Despite the fact that the world is littered with wreckage and ruins, people are at a loss after the Reaper falls...... But in the middle of nowhere, every nebula, every tree, every building, every atom is spontaneously cheering.
Full and joyful emotions, like a loud horn, resounded in the east, west, north and south of the galaxy!
The three of them closed their eyes together, their faces showing the ...... after tasting the food Psychedelic and contented expression.
Huge knowledge, the mysteries of the new world, poured into the bodies of the three people from the top of their heads like a river of heaven!
After Shepard's final choice, Lu Yuan and Nana's share rose to 31%, so this immeasurable information, the main god "catalyst" alone won seventy percent, Elona two percent, and Lu Yuan one percent. But when it comes to harvest, it is precisely the other way around—the "catalyst" has created countless material worlds with his own hands, and the world of mass effect is just one of the ordinary members of it. Therefore, even if he has seventy percent of the total, there is not much "fresh" information in it, and the catalyst just laughs and finishes.
On the contrary, Alona, who finally had her first material world experience, suddenly skyrocketed in strength, and the world changed in an instant! She far exceeded the strength of the Divine Kingdom when she had to burn the Divine Kingdom in order to enter the Mass Effect World, and even left the main god Xing Yan behind her.
"Ah Yuan. I'm so good now! Nana jumped happily. Ha! Ha! Nana clenched her little fists and spun around. Catalyst pursed his lips disdainfully, this increase in power was nothing more than the difference between an ant and a dust - but in fact it was envied - when he was still a weak main god. He had such happy moments.
But compared with the two main gods, it was Lu Yuan who gained the least, but it was Lu Yuan who benefited the most!
With the two main gods intended, the world of the main gods finally opened up in front of him, and all the secrets were presented in front of him - at this moment, Lu Yuan finally understood what it felt like when Karsus was overwhelmed by infinite knowledge and power after stealing Mithriel's priesthood! Although Lu Yuan has a unique talent of "world affinity" (in fact, it is dragon slaying). But he is neither a race of the main gods, nor does he have the experience of building a world step by step. So the knowledge of Genesis was almost the limit of what he could bear!
When he opened his eyes. Half a month had passed, but the two main gods were quietly accompanying him in this ruin.
Lu Yuan stood in place in a daze, his eyes were pitch black, and even his pupils were lost. Only the two main gods could see it. Countless worlds are dying in his eyes. At this moment, Lu Yuan could finally see what they saw.
"Original...... This is what the Lord God feels! At this moment, although Lu Yuan's strength has not changed at all, his vision has been infinitely improved. He is now also one of the people who stands on the top of the peak and looks down, and it is now clear whether the path he has taken in the past is right or wrong.
The insights that Lu Yuan gained from constantly traveling through the world in the past, the world-changing kendo that he realized in Gensokyo, and the understanding of the world brought about by the study of magic, were finally connected by the knowledge he gained this time. Lu Yuan finally completed his own transformation. He has become a special existence under the Lord God and above all reality!
Catalyst and Alona looked at this. The "monsters" they created together were actually very pleased. Nana is just that, the reason why the catalyst deliberately fulfilled Lu Yuan was first because after decades of fighting, he recognized Lu Yuan's status as a communication with him; Secondly, he was also eager to see what this special being was like...... There are very few things in this world that can arouse his interest. whereas
Lu Yuan is the reincarnation who has brought him the most surprises for countless billions of years. It would be a pity if such a person silently annihilated in the cracks of the world.
"You didn't disappoint me." After carefully observing Lu Yuan, "Catalyst" finally nodded with satisfaction, quite a sense of satisfaction that "I've lived for a long time, I've seen everything". And, most importantly, Lu Yuan's experience is so unique that there is no possibility of replication at all. That is, the position of the main god has not been shaken...... It's rare, but the catalyst does have a little more responsibility than Nana.
"So now, are you ready to admit defeat?" Catalyst asked graciously. Compared with kicking Lu Yuan out directly, it is the most rewarding thing to let him admit defeat in person!
"Alas~ old urging," Lu Yuan sighed, and said to the "catalyst" with a sympathetic face, "You are the one who should admit defeat!" ”
"Humph! Flicker, keep flickering! "Catalyst was undeterred.
"Alas! If you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears, and if you don't see the Yellow River, you won't give up. Lu Yuan sighed and shook his head again, and the catalyst he said was hairy. watched Lu Yuan magically conjure up paper and pen, and quickly listed a system of binary equations on it, which was about the level of junior high school mathematics, and put it in front of Alona.
For a math problem of this level, Lu Yuan and Catalyst can of course come to a conclusion at a glance. But Lu Yuan didn't calculate it himself, but wanted to stand beside Nana with a confident look and let Nana calculate. And Catalyst sneered and waited next to him, seeing what the hell he was doing!
A few minutes later, Nana happily raised her hand to hand in the papers, Lu Yuan and Catalyst both had stinky faces, and there were black lines on their foreheads - the level of junior high school mathematics, Nana actually miscalculated......
"Dear, don't rush, take your time." Lu Yuan touched his head with a smile, and Nana obediently continued to bite the pen. Lu Yuan glanced at the catalyst proudly, don't look at our Nana is not good at math, but she has a good attitude! Wait a minute...... Is this another miscalculation?! Lao Tzu's green tendons are about to burst!
Wrong...... Wrong again...... Lu Yuan and Catalyst were dumbfounded! Speaking of simple binary equations, is there so many wrong ways?
"Whew~", finally ...... When Nana finally carried out the correct elimination, Lu Yuan and the catalyst breathed a long sigh of relief together, and then the two glared at each other with disdain!
"That's it?" Catalyst doubts. "It's not over yet," Lu Yuan motioned to Alona to give the answer.
Nana happily held up the exercise paper and announced loudly as if she had won a battle, "Xeon equals 15, Ynmos equals 21!" Catalyst's face changed, and he felt it...... The world is turned upside down!
It was as if the hourglass of the clock that had flowed to the end had changed from positive to reverse--the share of the world held by the catalyst and Alona was exchanged in an instant!
“…… Reason" After a long time, he finally accepted the catalyst of impossible reality, and said in a hoarse voice.
"See for yourself, if you haven't forgotten what this world was created for." Lu Yuan also put away his laughter at this time, and in the face of such a lost main god "catalyst", he couldn't bear to continue to mock. Therefore, Lao Lu solemnly handed a data card, along with Nana's practice paper, to the catalyst. As for Nana? She was now frightened by the sudden force that had descended...... Oh, I'm so happy, I'm cute with my little mouth open.
"I see...... "After a brief look at the contents of the data card, the catalyst connected all the causes and consequences, and thought about it thoroughly, and couldn't help but sigh. What was this world created in the first place...... Turns out I forgot about it a long time ago! I lost, I lost...... It's really not wronged! ”
Oh, yes...... Catalyst thought, what did I create this world for in the first place? When did I forget my original goal?
In the past 50 million years, the catalyst has been first confused by that pure rational way of life, and then caught up in the war with Lu Yuan for the world, and has long forgotten the original purpose - I created this world to explore the mystery of "Element Zero"! My original dream was to be like the main god who cracked the mystery of the Force, and make "Element Zero" one of the rules of the foundation of the Source Sea!
When did I forget my goal? Holding the crack answer of "Element Zero" in his hand, the "catalyst" only felt that Nanke had a dream for 50 million years, and the past was like the wind.
"One last question," Catalyst asked, before leaving, "why don't you take it out before the world initialization is complete?" He raised the "answer" that Yang received, "And is it really good to give me such precious knowledge for free?" ”
There is no doubt that Lu Yuan asked Alona to calculate the final answer, with the purpose of putting the biggest benefit on Nana. It's completely understandable just to look at how much he cherishes Elona. But his preferential treatment of the catalyst made the catalyst puzzled - if Lu Yuan completed the cracking work before the world initialization was completed, the world would be reversed at that moment - and then Nana and Lu Yuan could get the lion's share of the benefits after the initialization, and the catalyst would have nothing.
Instead of initializing, seventy percent of the benefits are taken by the catalyst.
"Because you created this world, and you have guarded it for 50 million years. We're just latecomers, and that's your fair share. Lu Yuan said sincerely. Although the Dawn has invested millions of people for decades in order to crack the "Element Zero", Lu Yuan will not say it. Whether the gain and the give are equal, as long as you can convince your heart.
And on Nana and the Dawn's side, in addition to strength, what they care about most is to gain a material world that they can stand on; But the "catalyst" doesn't care about such a world, he also has a lot of material worlds.
The initialized information and the information on cracking the "Element Zero" can make up for his losses, and leave him with enough gains, so that his 50 million years of time are not empty......
"Thank you! You are the first human to make me thankful. Catalyst left, his last words still lingering.
"If we meet again...... I wish we could be friends. ”
