"You're stronger than them! Don't let them get over you! Break their shackles and don't let them control you! ”

Within the Castle, David. Anderson, Shepard and the Phantom Man, your back-and-forth verbal exchange has finally come to an end! When Shepard said the above words to the "Phantom Man", hoping that he would break free from the "indoctrination" of the Reaper, in exchange for a wry smile from the "Phantom Man".

"I've tried, Shepard!" He picked up the gun...... Then pull the trigger on your temple.

"I really tried......" the silent words drifted away.

……

Inside the Celestial Furnace, this scene silenced the three of them, and Nana's eyes turned red.

"Right now, everyone's attention, the gauntlets of the Citadel are opening......" Hackett's voice came. Following Admiral Hackett's orders, the rearguard fleet leapt over layers of wreckage, propelling the "Optimus Furnace" towards the Citadel.

However, just as the Citadel space station began to open. Suddenly new footsteps sounded in the empty interior of the Optimus Furnace. "Anyone else?" Lu Yuan was a little surprised. "Catalyst" seemed to know who it was, and sat there expressionlessly. Only Lu Yuan and Nana turned their heads together to look in the direction of the stairs.

With the sound of leather shoes, a man gradually ascended the stairs from the downstairs, first gray hair, then blue eyes......

"Jack. Harper! Phantom Man ......" Lu Yuan looked at the "Phantom Man" who was dressed in leather shoes and graceful and was walking up the stairs, first frowned, and then showed an expression of sudden realization. "I see, no wonder Cerberus would make such a strange move. So...... Who are you? Another Lord God. Or the reincarnation of the catalyst? ”

The Phantom Man was clean, not covered in blood after committing suicide, nor the hideous face he had when he had been deeply corrupted—in fact. His "corpse" is still lying in the fortress, and what appears here now may be called a soul. "Captain Lu," the phantom man nodded, and sat down next to the "catalyst", but the proud "catalyst" did not react to it.

If there is an expression, then it seems to be a trace of pride after deceiving Lu Yuan successfully?

The Phantom Man took out his cigarette case to himself. Light a cigarette and Erlang's legs leisurely. "Allow me to finish this cigarette," he said to the catalyst. Catalyst nodded wordlessly. The phantom man did not answer Lu Yuan's question, and Lu Yuan did not ask again.

Then there was the phantom man's silent smoking, Lu Yuan was thoughtful, and the catalyst didn't say a word. Only Alona looked curiously back and forth between the phantom and the catalyst. The four of them didn't even bother to watch the "Optimus Furnace" outside officially connected to the Citadel space station.

Wait until the cigarette rolls burn until the end of the cigarette butt. The Phantom Man let out a long sigh. He looked at Lu Yuan, "The answer is...... I am the catalyst, and the catalyst is me. ”

With his words, the whole person collapsed. Lu Yuan and Nana saw a figure fly into the catalyst's body, and in the blink of an eye, in the place where the phantom man had sit, there was still someone ...... "many, many years ago...... I don't remember how many years. Instead, he opened his mouth and continued the topic of the Phantom Man just now. When the Phantom Man merged with him, his entire temperament changed. It's like black and white has a color. Suddenly it came alive.

"At that time, I was fascinated by the pure AI way of thinking. I even thought that this was the end of the evolution of living things, so I completely split my own rationality. In the years since, I have been a catalyst. And my rationality ...... I don't know where it drifted to, or to whom it was reincarnated...... It's always trying to fight me in any way it can, trying to prove me wrong.

But in the end, I think it turns out that we were all wrong...... If it weren't for your treatment of the Phantom Man, I might not have been able to reclaim my sensibility until I had mastered the world once and for all - now do I need to say thank you to you? ”

Proud! That expression is clearly damn proud!

Lu Yuan looked at that smiling face, and suddenly felt that the past ten catalysts combined were not as hateful as they are now! He really wanted to punch it!

Originally, as the old nest of the catalyst in the dark space was destroyed by Lu Yuan, and then the Reaper fleet in the galaxy was losing again, Lu Yuan and Alona's share of the Mass Effect world has been steadily rising, even reaching the level of 49.9% - one step away, as long as you work hard, you can take the catalyst off the horse! But with the merger of "Phantom Man" and "Catalyst", Lu Yuan and Nana's share instantly fell back to below 30%!

Now the catalyst has more than 70% of the population, and the initialization of the world is almost complete! Once initialization is complete, the world will be completely finalized. At that time, the catalyst with absolute dominance, like the major shareholder with absolute dominant shares, can easily purge "small shareholders" like Nana and Lu Yuan.

"Wait, it's my turn." Catalyst nodded triumphantly and stood up. "So I said, 'You think you've won?' , or wait for me to come back, and we'll talk about winning and losing. ”

******

The light lit up, and Shepard, who was on the verge of a coma after being seriously injured on the floor, flew into the heart of the furnace with the light.

Catalyst walked towards her, and as he walked, his body gradually became transparent and shrunk, transforming into the image of a child. Then the body passed through the membrane of the subspace and came to Shepard.

"Ah Yuan......" Alona held Lu Yuan's hand worriedly.

"No problem, trust me." Lu Yuan touched his head and said to Nana, "Let him be proud for a while." The two of them walked to the edge of the subspace and quietly watched the final development of the plot.

Sure enough, as it happened, history was back on track. The catalyst who became a child told Sister Xue a complete story about the origin of the reaper and the history of harvesting reincarnation. Finally, as the first human to come to him, variables begin to appear throughout the cycle. That is, it means that the logic of the past has failed, so he proposes three options to Shepard. It's also a new solution.

"The Furnace is a pure energy source, but when combined with the Citadel and the Repeater network, it has the power to unleash a huge amount of energy to sweep across the galaxy! It also provides new solutions......"

The first option. Shepard can make the energy completely destroy all the Reapers! Of course, the explosion is not limited to the Reaper, but also includes all repeaters, artificial intelligence, and synth geths, all of which will be destroyed along with them. This choice means that humanity will have to start over and find its way into the galaxy. But it also completely solves the problem of the reaper.

The second option was that he could use this energy to control the Reapers, which the Phantom Man had tried to do, but he had failed. This choice. Not only will humans be able to retain repeater technology, but they will also be able to gain access to a large fleet of Reapers. The only loss is that Shepard will lose his life as a result. And everything you have...... He will become a will over all reapers.

Finally, there is the third option, synthesis. All organic and inorganic life is synthesized into a new life form, a new DNA. The cycle stops. The Reaper will become one with the humans. Humans will directly inherit and integrate all the Reaper technology, and even all the knowledge preserved by the Reaper for 50 million years will be passed on to humans.

Obviously, the third option is the one that the catalyst desires the most, and he directly says that "synthesis is the ultimate form of evolution of all life" - that is the choice of the catalyst, and it is also the choice of the main god called "catalyst". Although Lu Yuan's appearance did shake his will, he still firmly believed that his choice was no problem.

"Let me... Choose... Hehe~" Sister Xue said with a miserable smile, I don't know when it started. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears.

As soon as the "catalyst" finished speaking, she reluctantly straightened up. Supporting the seriously injured body, he limped towards the main power supply of the "Optimus Furnace". "Catalyst" looked at her stumbling back with some disappointment, but did not stop her.

On the contrary, the system that was attached to Shepard suddenly became a thick book and broke away. “No！ No！ Shepard, don't pick that! Take a look, look at the console over there! Let's go over there...... You will be the god of all reapers! Think of the Legion, think of Edie (the AI of the Normandy), you'll kill them all! "The system is desperately bewitching Shepard.

But Sister Xue dragged her lame leg silently and walked forward firmly, as if she hadn't heard his voice.

"Or do we go to the energy source, see? It's on the left...... That's a good choice, too! Shepard, don't be stupid, destroying everything is definitely not the best option. Why not let humans and reapers, become one? You will create a new century like never before! You will be the greatest man in the galaxy of all time! Shepard! ”

Seeing Shepard still walk forward without hesitation, the system finally gave up. “…… Shepard, do you really understand your choice?! ”

"I choose your sister!" Sister Xue raised her pistol in tears and pulled the trigger on the main power supply! "Bang!" "I don't have any choice!! This shot was for Anne! ”

"Bang!" "This shot is for Anderson!"

"Bang!" "This shot is for Li Huamei!"

"Bang!" "This shot is for Presley!"

"Bang!" ……

The main power supply of the Optimus Furnace was finally shattered and exploded!

All the stored tremendous energy was released at once, and it rampaged into the Citadel space station! But the Citadel space station is an amplifier, and the energy converted and amplified by the space station has completely gone out of control! It is rushing again, looking for a new breakthrough.

Finally, the energy that has nowhere to vent triggers the Citadel space station to start blowing itself up...... The red light swelled endlessly from the Furnace upwards, and then was launched before it exploded!

The pillar of light struck the Serpent Nebula's primary-level repeater, instantly turning the repeater from azure to crimson. After being infused with energy, the main repeater rotated faster and faster, and the energy intensity kept rising wildly! Finally, at the moment when the magnetic ring of the restraining core broke, another red light shot out along the main-stage repeater and flew towards the next target......

And the overloaded Giant Serpent Nebula's main-level repeater exploded with tens of millions of lights, and the red waves instantly swept through the entire Giant Serpent Nebula! Every reaper, every synthetic monster that has been created, under this red wave, is completely wiped out.

One red light after another shot red light, one repeater after another overloaded and self-detonated, and the red wave swept the entire galaxy!
