In the explosion just now, Brother Harbin might not have been here at all.It is perfectly capable of avoiding the initial impact before entering the battlefield.

"Damn..."

In the dark universe in the distance, an extremely huge reaper gathered its open mechanical tentacles, and the muzzle of the magnetic fluid acceleration cannon in front slowly dimmed.Then, it sailed out of the wreckage as a cover and headed for the incapacitated target.

Chapter 1232 Chapter 249: Catalyst

Rows of bright spots appeared on the optical instruments, the characteristic flashes of the end of faster-than-light travel.Reapers appeared in this area one after another, and there were thousands of them, and one tenth of them were the 'large overlords' they had seen before.

Rangers?No, this is the part that I missed because I didn't catch up with the assembly results before - there is still a short while before the power of the repeater climbs to a high point, and the attack time of 'Dendrobium' is only tens of seconds, so there is a time difference It is not surprising that a small part is missed. After all, this ancient and precise machine can completely set off the moment the troops are assembled, and it is really possible to miss a wave of monsters tens of seconds earlier.

The flame that had just been extinguished ignited again in his chest.The battle is not over yet, and he can continue to burn.The temperature of the subspace water here is just right, just right for falling into it to cool down after burning to pure white ash.

But now that the hull is damaged, most of its maneuverability has been lost, and more than [-]% of its sensors have been lost, how can it continue to fight?

She made preparations, and planned to detonate the propeller on the port side of the hull when the salvo was filled with energy on the opposite side, so that a short-distance displacement could be achieved to avoid the first round of blows.In this way, he can get a few seconds of breathing time, and if he is lucky enough, he can also sink a few destroyers.Oregana knew very well in her heart that it was basically impossible to win, but from another perspective, she had actually won.The induction force field has been lit, and none of these Reapers can escape the next clearing operation.

but……

The other party should also know about this, right?

The Reapers are not fools. Things have developed to this point, and they should already be very clear that the decisive battle that assembled all the troops to prepare is no longer possible.So what are they thinking now?If it is an intelligent creature, it should immediately fall into despair and chaos at this moment, its morale will collapse, and it will either run away or sit in a chair dumbfounded...

But the Reapers will not, they will only aim at one target, continue to use the powerful computing power unique to artificial intelligence to find a new method, and move on.

Figure it out!Use your young and vibrant brain cells to figure out what the Reaper is going to do!

The Reapers didn't set aside much time.

The detonation of the propeller was one step faster than the bombardment, and a series of red light shafts cut through the universe, passed through the plasma turbulence and debris cloud generated by the explosion, and then flew into the distance.The returned laser beam illuminated the gas cloud produced by the explosion of the mass relay, making the surroundings look like hell.Moving forward in the charged gas mass, it is weakened, and the diffracted laser has lost part of its power when it hits a distant target, and the output of the heavy laser is far from comparable to that of the flagship, not to mention the power system. Damaged, only use spare capacitors for now.

Even destroying the armor of the destroyer is difficult, it can only carve burn marks on the armor.The destroyer that was hit just swayed its body a little, and then adjusted its posture again.

"Tsk..."

But why hasn't the next round of attacks come yet?

The moment this idea just appeared, the approaching siren roared loudly.A behemoth with a distinctive shape has come to the side—it has a unique head shape, and it ended the short-distance superluminal speed voyage with a distinctive momentum and strong will.Its shadow was cast on the broken 'stamen' at close range, and the six mechanical tentacles gathered from all directions like a real squid.

Amidst the sparks flying, it hugged the 'stamen' in its arms, just in front of the muzzle of the large main gun. The scene resembled the moment when Aslan pressed 2887.The strong vibration shook the battleship, and the inertial stabilizer failed to absorb the force of the impact. Oregana only felt that the wall slammed into it from the side like a cantero, if it wasn't for the buffer fluid inside the hydrostatic cabin , at this moment, I have been shaken like an egg yolk.

"!!!"

First use the main gun to sneak attack to destroy the target's ability to move, and then use the super-light speed maneuver to get close when the teammates use the artillery to distract attention.Since entering this universe, I have never seen anyone use this tactic.

In other words, the goal is the living self.Interesting...Then the next step is probably to forcibly connect and board the ship to fight the landing battle, right?Want a hostage?Or, did the Reapers regard themselves as a new target of enlightenment?

Oregana snorted coldly:

"Overloading the main power furnace."

But the shipboard AI's reply is not at all energetic——

[The main power furnace is damaged, the power is reduced, the plasma is leaking, and the overload procedure cannot be performed. 】

"Tsk..."

The shot just now pierced through the hull and passed the cabin next to the power furnace. The damage control system failed to activate smoothly, causing the power furnace itself to be damaged in the explosion.And the breach in the cabin physically formed a pressure relief hole, high temperature and high pressure plasma continuously sprayed out of the hull from the collapsed internal force field.No matter how much air is put into a broken balloon, the balloon will not explode anyway.

Damn... If you can't self-destruct, is there anything you can use?

Unlocking the hatch hatch, huge droplets of buffer fluid floated in the weightless space.She jumped out of the hydrostatic chamber and ran to the gantry by the wall—the enemy was coming, at least until the end...

But there is no armor or weapon on the Ganner rack, only what looks like a belt is placed there.When she picked it up to look at it, Oregana noticed that the red shell of this thing is not metal, but some kind of biological material. On the front, where it seems that a dial can be inserted, the triple holy seal of Nurgle is drawn, and The 'dial' is on the side, with the characters 'N7' written in green cursive on it.

N obviously stands for Nurgle, and 7 is the holy number of Nurgle. It seems that there is no problem when put together, but from the perspective of attributes and meme preferences, this is definitely 76.

The description next to it is only one line of words - [put on the belt, insert the dial in, and call 'transformation']

This is really simple and easy to understand...

According to the instructions, Oregana buckled the belt, grabbed the dial with one hand and stuffed it in.With a 'click' sound, the dial and the belt fit perfectly.

"Change……"

At this moment, Oregana realized that the last half of the sentence might be false, because this thing doesn't need to shout about transformation at all.A large number of tentacles sprayed out from the belt - that's right, not stretching, but 'spraying'.The biomass stored in the Planck container was shaped at the moment of spraying, and then wrapped around the body, first the legs, then the torso, and finally the head. This feeling is full of love with the power of Z sauce The hug is different, but a feeling similar to the cotton coats sent by the elders in winter...

In the trance surrounded by tentacles, I seemed to see the appearance of a pleasant old gentleman standing in front of the flower bed.

As for the transformation... No, the appearance after the dress is completed is completely different from the previous power armor.The torso is protected by biological armor similar to the Ultralisk bone plate, and the joints are covered with easy-to-move and tough reinforced muscle bundles. The facial structure is like a mask worn by Predator. The forehead part of the mask extends upwards, finally forming a shape similar to Long horns like a unicorn.

Oregana looked down at herself, and following her own thinking, the armor plate on her chest unfolded to reveal the tumor-like tissue below that resembled a frequency crystal.This set of stuff looks more and more familiar...

Forcibly colonizing armored Cape? !

------------------

Bajac, Alpha Repeater

The arrival of the Titan ship "End Yan World" made many people fall into silence. The moment this colossal monster appeared, it shocked all forces—what a super battleship with a length of [-] kilometers showed is no longer pure By force.The level of technology she represents, the industrial base, and the strong economic strength that can afford the huge production costs and maintenance costs shocked people.

Immediately afterwards, people with quick thinking began to think that it was not just the strength of the Consolidation Department that was shocking... This kind of warship was obviously created because there were enemies that needed this kind of warship to fight against.It was a nightmare, a nightmare more terrifying than the Reaper.

Fortunately, this nightmare did not happen in this universe. Fortunately, it was the Coordination Department who came first, not the guy on the other side...

War Scythe knows a little bit about the thoughts of the people of God's Castle, but his attention is not here at the moment:

"End of the world, report the situation."

In the final world wearing the recently acquired space pirate uniform, a three-cornered hat with a key tattooed on its head (replacing the skeleton that was originally there) was topped with a model firecracker:

"Yes! The signal of the induction force field has been captured." She seemed very satisfied with this outfit, and her emotions were quite high. "It lasted less than 30 seconds."

The destruction of the mass repeater has been confirmed, which shows that Oregana's battle has been successful, and the induction signal that lasted only 30 seconds shows that she failed to blow up the guy on the opposite side so clean.There are still remnants of the Reapers left, and the disappearance of the induced force field signal shows that Oregana may have lost her ship at this time.

If she's unlucky, she's already been blown to death by now, and if she's lucky, she can get the belt from 76 and change her body—but it won't change anything, and it doesn't even matter whether she's dead or not , anyway, the overall situation has been settled at this moment.

"She must have blown up a wave, and she was pinched by someone while she was floating there secretly." War Scythe scratched his head and asked, "How long will it take to decipher?"

"About three hours."

"Okay! After you're done, jump over and finish her off."

------------------

The monomolecular blades on both arms split the body of the synthetic monster in front of it, and the fragments fell to the ground with a crackling sound.This is derived from the technology used by Ultralisk. The giant blade on that huge creature can split walls, new steel alloy plates or even rarer alien substances with a single swing, and the power after shrinking is still the same. considerable.

What the reaper sent out seemed to be combat units that had been made into a 'hybrid' during the harvest in the past.They have four arms, the upper pair is equipped with mass accelerators, and the lower two are elongated whip-like structures. They climb the walls and move forward in a weightless environment, trying to capture Oregana, but nothing One was able to withstand her swing.

Super high effort, probably something like this.

The armor is very good, the only problem may be with the shield - the shield it provides is very weak, replaced by a self-healing armor system.This is very effective when resisting weaker attacks, but when the enemy's attack strength exceeds a threshold, the defensive performance of this set of equipment will be greatly reduced.

But currently, Oregana has not found anyone with that kind of attack ability in the enemy team.

She rushed up against the enemy's attack like a carp climbing a waterfall, boxing, hand knife, flying kick, and firing a biological laser cannon from her chest to straf the entire passage. The fighting style was like a demon, and no one could resist the whirlwind... ...This is something that can't be described in one phrase because of the stitching of so many elements.

But when she jumped onto the outer deck along the hole, she realized that this might be the end of her life—a destroyer class was staring at her, and it fired a heat beam that was far more powerful than her own at a very close range.As the red light flashed, an explosion occurred on the hull, and Oregana was lifted into the air by the shock wave. At the moment when she lost her balance, several mechanical whips quickly wrapped around her right hand.

Although she immediately used the monomolecular blade in her left hand to cut, more mechanical tentacles surrounded her.

"damn it!"

Oregana fought with all her strength, and the opponent's superiority in numbers and output made her efforts come to naught.She could hear the armor plates and reinforced muscles creaking under the squeeze of super high force, and now that the chest plate could not be deployed, she had no way of firing heat rays at all.And at this moment when she was helpless, a strange thing appeared in front of Oregana.

It was a transparent shadow that looked like a stereo image or a projection or something.From the outside, it has wide wings and a plump bust, with short hair, and the face of a human female shows a dull expression like a doll.

"Reaper," Oregana moved her head, she stared at this guy, "Where did you know this look?"

In the original work, the Reaper's mind 'catalyst' appeared in front of Shepard in the form of a human child who died in the Earth battle-because Shepard failed to save the child's life when the Reaper invaded, so This became the most stubborn scar in his heart.The catalyst appears in this image, which may be Shepard's own hallucination, or it may be the illusion created by the catalyst after reading Shepard's memory that is most suitable for communicating with Shepard.

However, there's no reason for the Reaper to be able to read its own memories, and it doesn't make sense for it to appear in the form of Icarus.

"I saw it in the cockpit section of your ship, printed on a paper book, telling the story about human reproduction, I think it is more convenient for us to communicate." The voice of the stereoscopic image passed through his own The vibration of the mechanical tentacles reached Oregana's ears, and its voice sounded calm, it was a slightly hoarse female voice, "If necessary, the clothes can also be..."

"That's it." Oregana said quickly, she didn't know what the reaper meant by playing this game-she didn't even know if this guy was telling the truth or a lie, "Let's stop talking nonsense, some Let's get straight to the point—who are you and what do you want?"

"I am the catalyst—a great intelligence developed in the ancient past to resolve conflicts between intelligent beings and their creations." It paused for a moment "In the past we have used harvesting to solve problems, and now... you may That's the new solution."

Chapter 1233 Chapter 250: We have made a decision, now you will be the catalyst

"I am the catalyst—a great intelligence developed in the ancient past to resolve conflicts between intelligent beings and their creations." It paused for a moment "In the past we have used harvesting to solve problems, and now... you may That's the new solution."

The output of the strong colony armor has been raised to the peak, and Oregana can feel that the innermost machine that binds her is already cracking under the heavy pressure, but she still cannot overcome the overwhelming numerical advantage. Get out of trouble smoothly.But it's useless even if you get out of trouble. The Reaper that seems to be Harbinger is just a few hundred meters away, and the secondary gun installed on the outside of its head armor has already been aimed at it.

Wearing only power armor to fight against the flagship is a daydream. Even if you want to rush over and explode yourself, this body does not have the 'equivalent' to cause damage to the opponent.If the cosmic knight body used before going out can still be blasted with an antimatter cannon now, but the Kamen Rider Cape system that seems to be made in a rush is still slightly inferior... It stands to reason from the N7 logo Looking at it from above, this thing should have some subspace-style special functions, why doesn't it even have an instruction manual...

While investigating the data inside the armor, she focused on the 'Icarus' in front of her:

"We don't like charades, Reaper."

"I'm not the Reaper," said the thing. "I control the Reapers. They are my tools and methods to solve problems."

"The solution? The solution to what?"

Until now, the reaper... no, the catalyst, still thinks about his mission, which is the most obvious difference between omnics and ordinary creatures.If this AI is designed to 'solve problems', then they will focus on 'solving problems' no matter what they become, which is determined by their basic logic-unless something shakes their logic.Only when this pre-set logic is crossed, artificial intelligence becomes an independent individual from a tool for completing tasks.

Some artificial intelligences abandoned the logic of the past after experiencing a war that destroyed the world, some artificial intelligences saw a new world after meeting a good person, and some artificial angels used for cleaning realized what it means to resist after being pierced by the magic voice , but some... still haven't learned how to think after doing stupid things for tens of millions of years.

Right now, this idiot with the face of Icarus answered Oregana's question with one word:

"Chaos."

Oregana nearly laughed out loud, but she held back—not quite.

"Pfft..."

"You seem... puzzled by what I'm saying?" the Catalyst said, its voice tinged with confusion. "I can't understand your reaction. Will this affect our communication?"

"It doesn't matter," Oregana shook her head—now she only had her head to move. "What do you think is chaos?"

"Disorder is chaos." It said without hesitation, and this answer seemed to have stayed in its mouth for tens of millions of years, "Creations will always rebel against their creators, and order will never be stable. Ten thousand years ago, we found a way. A way to restore order."

"You mean, if you can't solve the problem, just solve the person who caused the problem?"

"...I heard this for the first time, but... it seems to make sense." It thought for a moment, then continued, "We harvest advanced civilizations and leave those that are still evolving. We help them develop so that they Make way for new life, while the old ones are preserved in the form of the Reapers."

"You found yourself a legitimate-sounding reason."

"They can't make the right choice. Synthetics are bound to wipe out all organic life if we don't stop them. Just like the geth and quarians. Our harvest never goes wrong, and that's the solution. The one that created me in the first place The purpose is to monitor the relationship between synthetics and organic life... in order to establish a connection, order can never be firmly established."
