Chapter 584 ??ヽ(?▽?)No? ??????
? "..."
The Proxian warrior felt very sad and angry at this time!
think carefully……
Their Prothean homeland was first invaded by the powerful and evil Reapers. When the empire was shattered and the people were massacred, they had to sleep in the dormant warehouse of the refuge for a full 50,000 years... until not long ago, It was dug out by a group of Earthlings named Cerberus, and then captured by the Starfleet's Earthling Fleet. Finally, it was transferred to a backward Normandy II spaceship, and landed on a ship named Shepard's earth savage woman.
Half an hour ago, when he was awakened, he had just had time to get mad, blowing up a vortex of supernatural powers, and was about to speak to those primitive species who dared to watch him, telling them not to kill themselves... a certain The little girl made a bold move and directly hung him in mid-air for a severe beating!
Afterwards, he...
Well, he has finally become honest now, and he put away his self-righteousness, overlooking the original species of the Milky Way, and led them to rebuild the Prothean Empire and carry it forward, so that they can be beaten in the next reincarnation That unrealistic outrageous idea of the Reaper!
Although until now, he still has not figured out exactly what happened, but this does not prevent him from sitting honestly in the interrogation room of the backward Normandy II spacecraft, looking at the earth woman sitting behind the table opposite him , four eyes staring twice, basically not daring to let out a breath.
He needs to observe for a while first, to observe these primitive species clearly, what kind of attitude do they have towards him, a Prothean?
He had to do that now!
because……
Not far from this large interrogation room, on a small stool over there, was sitting a little girl playing with a plush toy bear with both hands!
Although the other party looked harmless to humans and animals, the piercing eyes he cast over from time to time made him, a powerful Proxian warrior, feel palpitations... So, now he I have to pretend to be honest, so as not to be hanged in mid-air again by the other party to enjoy the pain of suffocation...
"Hello, nice to meet you, Proxian from the last reincarnation cycle!"
"How is it, how does it feel to sleep for fifty thousand years? Are you uncomfortable now? If you don't want to talk to me now,
Our meeting can be postponed for one or two days, so that you can rest up for two days? "
Shepard, who was sitting behind the table in the interrogation room, was silently observing the soldier in dark red armor who looked exactly like those Collector soldiers. Two pairs of strangely sized eyes were scanning with curiosity and anxiety. Looking at the Protheans all around.
When she noticed that the other party's expression was still a little sluggish, and her spirits were not in a good mood, she tentatively asked.
Originally, Shepard didn't want to talk to the other party in the mode of trial like now, but she was eager to find out something and didn't intend to make the other party resist, so she chose this unfriendly way of dialogue after all.
At this time, standing behind her were Ashley, Liara, Dr. Modine, Galas, and James, and there were two rows of heavily armed stars on both sides of the interrogation room, hiding their faces behind black helmets. United N7 Marines.
They all stared vigilantly at the Proxian who was not only physically strong, but even had the same abilities as the Asari race! If the other party dared to attack and show obvious hostility like before, they would definitely make it look good for the other party!
"??"
"You should... understand me, right?"
Seeing that the other party didn't respond or speak, Shepard had no choice but to ask again.
Having obtained the Prothean Beacon, of course she knows about Prothean people!
This kind of magical creature seems to use some kind of supernatural ability to directly read the clues left by the living body. A special biological signal will be generated in those cells, DNA and everything that has been experienced, and can be detected by these Protheans. received and interpreted.
That kind of biological signal should also allow the Protheans to understand the language of their earthlings, just as she, Shepard, can clearly understand the various messages and messages left by the Protheans as if she was there. Warning, even the language!
It seems that it is as magical as some magic that little Annie once said, that it can directly learn the language of other races?
And it is precisely because of this that the Citadel Council and the Star Alliance three years ago did not believe anything Shepard said about the Reapers!
Because, as long as only she can understand it, any reports, warnings, or detailed descriptions that Shepard has submitted before cannot be conclusive evidence to prove the existence of the Reapers! And it wasn't until the Reapers came to the Batarian galaxy and wiped out the Batarian race in an instant that they had no choice but to believe it, and hurriedly sought countermeasures...
That's why things have come to the way they are now, making their galaxy, even with the help of the powerful reinforcements from the Hero Federation from another plane, also plunged into an extremely embarrassing and passive situation.
"I can understand your language, humans of Earth!"
"Has 50,000 years already passed? But now... it's like I fell asleep. It seems that only a few minutes have passed..."
Hearing the other party say that a full 50,000 years have passed, the Proxians lowered their heads sadly.
Regarding this matter, when he fell into dormancy, he already had a premonition... But how could he think that when his four eyes were closed and opened again, a full 50,000 years had really passed?
Think about it too...
Once, their glorious Proxian Empire has long since disappeared in the long river of time like a flash in the pan... So now, those who are waiting around him are all those primitive and backward lower races.
"Are you all right? Do you need our Dr. Modine to check you?"
"Don't worry, Dr. Modin is an expert in biology. He has also studied you Proxians very well. He clearly knows your structure and all your physiological characteristics. I think he should be competent to give you Proxians The mission of the immortal to check the body?"
Seeing that the other party's face was a bit strange, Shepard thought it was some kind of adverse reaction, so he hurriedly planned to ask Dr. Modine behind him to show the other party. Because there are a lot of people here, and they haven't done aseptic isolation, if the other party's immune system is as bad as that of the quarians, then there will be big problems.
"Dr. Modine?"
Seeing that there was no response from the other party, Shepard took it as acquiescing, and as soon as he turned his head, he was ready to ask the Salarian biology expert to give the only Prothean in the entire galaxy a good look.
In the past few days, Dr. Modine dissected and studied many collector soldiers!
Those guys transformed by the reaper, except that they are dead and their body cells are inactive, their body structure, DNA and other biological information must be the same as the living Prothean in front of them! Therefore, if the other party needs medical services, Dr. Modine is probably the only one in the entire galaxy who can be a Prothean medical expert.
"No, I'm fine..."
"I want to know now, how many of our people, those dormant cabins, are still alive?"
Although he already had a bad premonition in his heart, after hesitating for a while, the Proxian still suppressed the grief and hesitation in his heart, and looked at the human woman opposite who seemed to be the leader of these primitive people asked.
He found that he could no longer recognize the strange planet outside the window of this backward spaceship...
But now that he has learned from the biological information in the air that he was dug out from that planet... then he can be sure that the planet with the yellow-green continent and blue ocean outside the window should be their The planet of the Prothean Empire is the one they bombed with nuclear weapons!
Back then, or could it be said before he went to sleep?
At that time, due to the betrayal of the traitors who betrayed the Reapers through enlightenment, their secret plan for the continuation of the Prothean civilization was exposed, so the Reapers naturally attacked the hidden refuge facilities they set up underground on the planet!
There was no suspense in the ensuing battle...
In front of the endlessly powerful reaper, in front of those fellow reapers who were transformed into reapers, and under the tide attack of those endless corpse puppets, they suffered a miserable defeat... and in the end, they had to use Let the intelligent program of the base use a large-scale neutron weapon, directly bombed the entire planet, wiped out and destroyed all the Reapers, landmark buildings, mountains, rivers, forests, etc., and at the same time completely buried their hiding places. That underground shelter!
It was precisely because of that that he was able to survive.
It's a pity that their Prothean's intelligence VI reported before he fell asleep that the entire base fell into dormancy and was not destroyed by the reaper, only a few hundred people remained...
And what's worse: During the neutron bombardment that swept across the entire planet, the neutron purification facility of their underground facility was severely damaged, and the sensors were also washed and damaged by the powerful neutron flow, resulting in the automatic activation of the dormant chamber The inability of the program to complete the self-inspection makes them sleep so long until they are discovered and excavated by a new civilization?
And now, fifty thousand years have passed...
He himself was indeed successfully excavated and awakened by the new civilization!
However, the long time and uncertainty made him very worried about his other fellows! He is eager to know now: how many of the Protheans' last spark of civilization, those who fell asleep with him, are left? !
This matter is very important!
Because, this is related to whether he, the spokesperson of the Prothean, can lead the surviving Prothean to rebuild the glory of their Prothean empire?
"..."
"I'm sorry, but you're the only one left!"
"According to the excavation report we got, the hundreds of dormant chambers that were excavated, except for you, all of them lost their energy or were crushed and deformed by heavy objects. After tens of thousands of years of washing, Those of your tribe, they have already weathered and died..."
Although it was a pity, Shepard still had to tell the cruel fact that this might really be the last Prothean in the entire galaxy.
The Prothean in front of me was lucky enough to go dormant and survive for a full 50,000 years, which in itself is an incredible thing!
According to the understanding of Shepard and others, the other Protheans who were weathered into mummified corpses or turned into ashes are more normal and reasonable! And the guy in front of him who can survive for 50,000 years, is he (or she) the other kind?
Being continuously powered by a near-abandoned Prothean ruins and preserved for a full 50,000 years, this kind of thing is simply incredible! Think about any artificial creation of their star alliance, no matter how well maintained it is, it will be abandoned after dozens or hundreds of years, right? Then let alone a living dormant cabin dormant!
The Andromeda Project of the four races of humans, Asari, Salari, and Turians is nothing more than setting a dormancy time of several hundred years, and it is still relying on the help of the most advanced Asari technology. It was barely done.
"Ah……"
The Proxian sighed, then bowed his head deeply again.
Then, an indescribable emotion began to permeate under the powerful power of the other party unconsciously... and soon, it infected everyone in this interrogation room, making them all feel like Empathize with the other person, feel the other person's negative emotions such as sadness, helplessness, pain, hesitation, sadness, grief, etc.!
They are mixed together, making all the affected people unconsciously show a sad expression...
"snort!!"
(?`^′?)?
Of course, this kind of emotion will definitely not affect a heartless and extremely powerful little Anne!
When she realized that something was wrong with the surrounding situation, and the big sister Shepard and the others became weird, Annie hurriedly let out a cold snort, interrupting the emotional fluctuations of the other party unconsciously, And waved his little fist viciously at the Prothean who was also awakened as a threat, and then turned his head back to play with his little bear Tibbers on his own.
It doesn't understand what's so interesting about that Proxian crooked star, she's not interested at all, because doing that, it's not as interesting as bullying her little bear now!
"How can he speak the language of our earthlings?"
At this time, Ashley, who came back to her senses, frowned and lowered her head, and quietly asked Shepard who was sitting on the chair.
Perhaps Shepard can understand this matter, but in her Ashley's opinion, it is indeed a very miraculous thing: a Prothean who has been asleep for 50,000 years can speak fluent Earth dialect after waking up. If things are told, no one will believe them, right?
Could it be that this Prothean is a fake, or was it cloned by Cerberus and placed on the main star of Eden deliberately for the Star Federation to capture?
"It's not surprising that I speak your language..."
"When I first came into contact with you, I read your physiological information and nervous system. These things are enough to understand your language."
Without Shepard opening his mouth to explain the confusion, Proxian took the lead and said to the earth woman who was whispering.
"..."
Ashley curled her lips, cursed secretly, and stood behind Shepard expressionlessly again.
She didn't expect that the Proxian not only had powerful abilities, but also had four eyes and eight pupils, and even had good ears. The other party could hear her just now when she spoke so softly? Why are the other party's ears so long? There doesn't seem to be any organs like ears on the other party's triangular head...
"Goddess Elsim is here!"
"There really is such a magical and efficient learning method? It's amazing! Can you tell me how you did it?"
At this moment, Liara finally couldn't help but exclaimed.
Although whether it is the language of the earth people, the Turian language, or the language of the Salari, she herself can read, write, and speak directly, and communicate with the corresponding race. Unimpeded communication, but... that was something she had spent hundreds of years studying hard to achieve. Compared with the terrifying efficiency of the other party, it was far behind!
"..."
"All living things leave clues for those who can read them, and they're in your cells, in your DNA, and all your experiences send out a special biological signal through that medium, and then Can be captured by me..."
Although he was a little surprised and puzzled by the inefficiency of these primitive race learning methods, the Prothean patiently calmed down and explained this sentence.
"There are souls too!"
"If you read the soul memory directly, you will directly get the experience and knowledge of the other party's life! It's just that it's not very good to do that!"
ヾ(?°?°?)???
At this time, Little Annie suddenly turned her head and said such a thoughtless sentence, brushing off her sense of presence.
Compared with the Proxian over there who uses supernatural powers to read biological nerve signals and body or brain, the way their mages directly read the biological soul is faster and more efficient!
It's just that once a mage with poor skills goes to do that casually, he is likely to get lost in the huge information flow of the target's soul, just like some necromancers who pick their feet! Those irregular guys casually use unlearned and proficient spells to read other people's soul memories. After too much memory, their entire souls become confused, and then...they will become weird, And that's part of the reason why some Necromancers become evil and are hated and killed by the world.
The mages all know that the necromancers with confusion are very dangerous. They will use any of their spells to harm ordinary people recklessly, so they must be killed and sealed away! Over time, after the rumors became more and more outrageous, in the mainstream world, it gradually evolved into: all necromancers are evil and dangerous, and they must be killed?
In the end, the real reason is probably only known to some powerful mages like Little Annie.
"??"
Shepard frowned. She didn't know what the little Anne meant by the soul, so she could only continue to turn her head to look at the Progenia:
"When I touched your dormant chamber just now, I saw some strange content. What does that mean?"
This matter, Shepard is very sure, in her mind, there are more memories that do not belong to her!
That feeling was very strange, as if she herself was a Prothean and participated in those battles, it was very real... However, those marines who came into contact with the opponent's dormant chamber at the same time, as well as Ashley, Miranda and Liara and the others didn't feel like her?
"That is……"
"Our last moment, our record of failure on that outer planet..."
Turning his head again to look at the strange planet outside the window of the spaceship, the Prothean sighed.
Perhaps, the Proxian Empire will finally disappear completely...
If the 500 Prothean elites who fell into a deep sleep with them are still alive, maybe they can really reproduce slowly, and one day in the future, the Prothean civilization will bloom again in this galactic universe!
However…..
Now he is the only Proxian who is left, what else can he do? He, the last spokesperson of the Proxian Empire, can't do anything now, can't do anything!
"fail?"
"Not necessarily... I saw it. Facing the powerful reaper, your people never gave up. The spirit of fighting the enemy to the last moment is exactly what we need now!"
"So you should cheer up and fight those Reapers with us!"
"I believe that as long as you give us enough help and information to help us understand more about the Reapers, we will be able to defeat them! I firmly believe!!!"
Seeing that the other party was a little depressed, Shepard, who was worried that he would not be able to ask relevant information, hurriedly encouraged the other party and planned to say something nice to increase the goodwill of both parties, so that she could interrogate her next.
like...
The 'Sky Furnace' that their Star Alliance is still building, and does the Reaper have any weaknesses, etc.? After all, in the records and the information she saw, the Protheans fought the Reapers for centuries before being declared dead! Such a long period of time must be enough for Prothean to learn all the information about enemies like the Reapers.
"..."
"Asari, Earth humans, Turians, and Salarians..."
"Oh! Sure enough, I am now convinced that fifty thousand years have indeed passed, because I am now surrounded by a group of primitive people."
After glancing at Shepard and Liara, Ashley, Dr. Modine, Galas and other team members behind the other party, the progenitor laughed a little self-deprecatingly.
At the beginning, their powerful and unified Prothean Empire failed miserably against the Reapers when they were prepared, but now, these races who were still playing with mud and drilling wood for fire were happy for a long time They still want to threaten to complete the arduous task that even Proxian failed?
These guys...why are they so confident? Who gave them the confidence? !
"Do you really think you can defeat the Reapers?"
Disappointed, Prothean simply stood up, walked to Shepard's table, looked down at the primitive man who was interrogating him, completely ignoring those around him who were silently pointing at him with weapons, The Marines of Normandy II were on the lookout for all his movements.
"why not?!"
They have been working hard to deal with the Reapers now, and the main fleets of the Federation of Heroes and the Citadel Council have begun to unite, and they will soon have a decisive battle against the main force of the Reapers!
Although, it is said that the certainty of victory is not too great, but it is much better than no chance of winning at all!
"Then come on, let me see why you are so confident!!"
After finishing speaking, the progenitor who was looking down at Shepard from above suddenly reached out and grabbed her arms, and stared directly at the other's pair of stunned eyes with his own two pairs of eyes.
He dislikes the inefficiency of using language to communicate, so he plans to 'look' at the other party's memory by himself, and see what he wants to see! Of course, at the same time, directly exchange what the other party wants to see to the other party, lest these primitive people continue to use this inefficient way to interrogate themselves!
Click!
Crash! Click! !
Almost in an instant, the surrounding Marines who were waiting in full battle immediately loaded their weapons, and immediately prepared to attack the Commander Shepard who caught them, using some strange means to attack them. The Protheans struck.
The other party even dared to attack their Chief Shepard at this time. Do they really think that there are so many of them that they can't be arranged? !
"Stop!"
"He is exchanging information with Shepard, don't attack yet!!"
The Asari Liara, who probably knew what the other party was doing, quickly reached out and shouted to the marines.
"Don't act rashly!!"
The human S1 Ashley also stretched out her fist to stop those team members who were planning to attack the enemy.
However, her hands were intentionally or unintentionally placed on her waist. If she could see that the other party was going to be unfavorable to Shepard, she would definitely blow the triangular head of that Proxian immediately, even if The other party is the last living Prothean in the entire galaxy, and this is no exception!
Here, she doesn't have any cherished and endangered species protection laws, and she doesn't mind that the last Prothean is extinct in her hands, Ashley!
"..."
Soon, after the exchange of information between the two parties was over, the Proxian finally let go of Shepard, who looked a little embarrassed and was covering his head.
His actions finally made the marines relax a lot, and they couldn't help but lowered their guns one by one, and stopped pointing at the opponent's head or chest and abdomen and other vital parts.
"I can feel your fear, anxiety and restlessness..."
"Hmph! A fleet of 200,000 people is fighting against the hundreds of thousands of terrifying warships of the Reapers? However, your heart seems to tell me: You don't even have much chance of winning. You are afraid, am I right?"
"And now, there is another group of guys called Cerberus who robbed the VI and the castle left by us in Prothean?"
"It's ridiculous!"
"When confronting the powerful reaper, your race is actually divided? In this case, why do you still want to defeat those reaper?!"
Originally, when they saw reinforcements from another plane just now, the Proxians still had a little hope of defeating the Reapers... because, as far as the current situation is concerned, these primitive races have not completely failed , They actually found powerful reinforcements?
However……
When he saw the mission they were going to perform now, he was shocked!
It's unimaginable... When the entire galaxy is facing disaster, those humans, those stupid primitive species, it's fine if they don't unite, but they still divide and hold each other back?
Let's see, they humans actually built a 'Sky Furnace' in one go? !
That ultimate weapon, the Proxians didn't even have time to make one...
But now, the stupid human beings on Earth have created one of each of the two split factions, but they are still robbing each other of the Citadel space station, their Prothean VI, and using loopholes for each other?
And that stupider Cerberus, that human organization still wants to control the Reapers wishful thinking? !
Does the 'Sky Furnace' they designed have that function? Why didn't he, a native Prothean, a warrior who knew a little bit about that plan, not know it himself? !
so,
Now, he expresses his indignation and disappointment at the fact that these primitive species have nothing to play, but they have played such a bad situation in front of them!
"you……"
"I just saw everything you went through, and you saw mine at the same time? This is really a wonderful way of interaction... But that's okay, I finally figured out a lot of things, and I don't need to ask you anymore ..."
"This is the beacon that you Proxians gave me, the benefits of that thing?!"
With Liara's support, Shepard, who was panting heavily with great difficulty, stood still. After she digested the information that the other party had just forcibly passed on to her, she spoke in a somewhat unbelievable way.
Originally, she thought that today's interrogation would be very troublesome, but who would have thought that the exchange of information would be completed in an instant? This kind of feeling made her feel very novel and horrifying. At the same time, it was a bit heavy on her mental and physical load. She didn't like this method of forcing memories into her mind.
If possible, she still prefers to use watching and listening, which will be more comfortable.
"Yes!"
"This is exactly what I don't understand!"
"You have already discovered one of our beacons, and got it... You have seen everything, how we were destroyed by the Reapers, and you must have seen the warning we left..."
"But……"
The Proxians suddenly raised their tone, seeming a little strangely indignant:
"Why didn't you pay attention, why didn't you prepare earlier to resist the invasion of the Reapers, can you tell me why, human?!"
If, at the beginning, their Prothean people also had the powerful reinforcements received by the current Star Alliance, their Prothean Empire would definitely be able to defeat the Reapers, and complete the "Sky Furnace", and behead all the Reapers who dared to invade the galaxy. Kill them all, leave no one behind!
But the result...
Their more powerful Proxian Empire did not receive the assistance it deserved, and could only hastily leave beacons, various warnings, and some wealth to the next civilization before its demise, hoping that the next reincarnation race could defeat those harvesters Or... But now, these earthlings have obtained their Prothean inheritance and warnings, and obtained the things preserved by their Proxians with countless lives, but what happened?
These idiots and primitive races have managed to get into this terrible situation, and after only one battle, they will repeat the same mistakes that the Proxians did at the beginning... This is really in vain. For the things that are preserved, it is better to let them continue to bury them and wait for the excavation in the next reincarnation!
"Hmph! Do you think I want to?!"
"Except for me, no one can understand the warnings you left behind! Those beacons almost killed me! And those 'collectors' are the monsters that you Protheans were transformed into by the harvesters , They even successfully ambushed and killed me once!!"
Shepard was furious when he mentioned this matter!
These damned Protheans, the warning messages left behind directly use images or simple words to warn that they will die?
But what happened?
The warning messages saved by Proxian are so encrypted layer by layer, and only those who have obtained the beacon can decipher them? So much so that the latest equipment of the Star Alliance and the Citadel couldn't understand it, even though she Shepard tried her best to explain, protest, and make various reports...but people thought that Shepard was just Go crazy, or just have some kind of indescribable hallucination!
"Oh! Well..."
"I seem to understand something... In this stupid cycle of yours, you stupid races are still stuck in the inefficient way of primitive information and language communication?!"
After staring blankly for a while, seeing the sad and indignant expression of the earth woman and hearing the other party's protest, the super-intelligent Proxian immediately understood what Shepard meant by "others can't understand"... So, he walked aside alone with some embarrassment and resentment, walked to the window and looked at the strange planet outside.
These primitive races, whose science and technology developed so slowly, could not successfully understand the various legacy and warnings left by their Proxians, how could they still have the face to question him?
This is really unreasonable!
Sure enough, these stupid and backward races should not be eligible for the gifts and inheritance of their Prothean people, and they should let those things, including himself, continue to be buried in the ground!
"Three years ago, I used the information you kept to smash the Reapers' conspiracy and prevent them from obtaining the Citadel!"
"It is also because of this that you and I can stand here and have a conversation! And this is the best I can do. I have delayed their invasion of the Milky Way for three full years!"
"I'm just the captain of a human battleship, not our high-level human beings! No one would believe my words at the beginning!"
For three full years...
Shepard is also a bit regretful now, thinking back then, if the Proxians' warnings were more intuitive and a bit behind, instead of such an advanced encryption method, maybe it would be a different ending now?
If the various races of the Citadel had three years to prepare, it would probably be a different situation now, right? Maybe, with the support of the Federation of Heroes, they have already sent the Reapers out of the galaxy!
"Three years..."
"But now, what you do is still meaningless!!"
What's the use of three years?
Fifty thousand years ago, their Proxians took longer to prepare, their strength was stronger, and their technology was extremely advanced.
But the result...
Their Proxian Empire still lost a lot, and after resisting for centuries, it collapsed, and was harvested by those reapers again!
"Okay, Shepard, stop arguing about these things!"
Seeing that the two were talking meaningless words and wasting time, Liara couldn't wait to go forward and grab Shepard.
If the other two continue to argue like this, I'm afraid it will really turn into a fierce conflict between the two sides. That kind of thing will have no effect on them defeating those evil reapers!
"Hello, Proxian!"
"Now I have a more important thing to ask you: You should know about the 'Sky Furnace' from Shepard, right? We are currently rebuilding it, and I believe it will be completed soon!"
"So I want to ask..."
At this time, Liara, who brought the opportunity, began to ask what she wanted to know the most! It's a pity that before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by the other party with a wave of her hand.
"Of course I know about that device!"
"But that device can only be activated with the Citadel of God and our Prothean VI! But it's a pity... you have taken the two most critical things away by your rebels! Now you It is meaningless to ask this matter again! Because, I don’t know more than what you know now?”
Proxian turned his head and looked at Liara mockingly, then turned his head again and looked out the window quietly.
He just learned about it from the female human named Shepard, so he didn't want to explain too much about the rumored 'Sky Furnace' project.
He is just an elite Prothean soldier, not a scientist, he only knows about that plan, but he doesn't know much about other things. After all, back then, when he was born, the Proxian Empire had been fighting against the Reapers for hundreds of years, and when he entered the dormant warehouse, the entire Proxian Empire was torn apart, and they could not get it at all. Too much information from the outside world.
"Liara..."
Shepard shrugged his shoulders, and patted his partner on the back, indicating that she had indeed obtained everything she wanted to know, and there was no need to continue asking about the 'Storm' or the Reaper.
The other party didn't know too much, which made Shepard a little disappointed, because she found that it didn't seem to be of much value for them to waste time on this Proxian.
"Oh well!"
After comprehending what Shepard meant from the neural link, Liara stopped what she had just planned, but she still had other problems!
Of course, that has nothing to do with Reaper, just purely academic:
"Your Excellency, now that we have finished talking about the business, I believe we have established the most basic trust with each other, can I, Xiong'anzi, ask you a few questions?"
"You may not know, I wrote a paper, that is some important research about you Protheans, such as your culture, politics, military and religion, etc..."
Liyara, who is a master of Asari, now wants to study and inquire about the only Proxian in the entire galaxy, and get first-hand valuable information!
She believed that after defeating the Reapers and returning the galaxy to peace, the paper she published on the Prothean Empire would definitely cause a sensation in the entire galaxy! At that time, she, Liara, will be a great scholar while being a great hero who saved the galaxy!
"..."
"Interesting, those ignorant Asari people of yours have learned to write..."
"I have obtained related documents. Back then, our ancestors worked hard to enlighten you, you stupid parthenogenetic race! It's a pity that until the reaper invaded, all our attempts failed without exception. , your race is really too stupid!"
After staring up and down at the Asari who asked him a question for a while, the Proxians unceremoniously scolded this so-called longest-lived, most advanced, and most civilized race in the entire galaxy!
They can fool other ignorant races, but they can't fool him, a Proxian!
Don't think he doesn't know, the technology they developed is probably all based on the half-buried Prothean technology station they left on the other party's Sesia planet, which they left on purpose. there.
But now, judging from the information he learned from the memory of the earth woman Shepard, it seems that these Asari don't even understand the technology they left behind in Proxian? Therefore, he was not wronged at all when he called the other party an idiot!
Presumably, 50,000 years ago, the reason why the reapers didn't reap the Asari must be because they thought they were too primitive and ignorant to be worth harvesting, right?
"Sorry, what are you talking about?!"
Liara stared at the other party bitterly, and used her abilities to teach the other party a lesson if there was any disagreement!
They Asari are currently the most powerful and respected intelligent life in the Milky Way. How can they be as unbearable as the other party said? !
"It's nothing, just ask whatever you want."
After seeing the other party's fierce expression, the Proxian warrior looked at the other people around him who also looked not so good. After thinking about it, he was weak and weak, so he didn't dare to continue to criticize them for being single-minded like the Asari. Reproductive stupidity of the species is not.
It's also fortunate that the ancestors of these Asari were stupid enough to not be successfully guided by their Proxians. Otherwise, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to see each other's race now.
"Is such that……"
Seeing that the other party finally stopped resisting, Liara quickly took the opportunity to ask.
"..."
As the Proxian warrior answered every question, Liara gradually realized:
It turns out that 50,000 years ago, the Protheans were the only interstellar race in the galaxy. They dominated the entire galaxy, and their exploration of the galaxy far surpassed the current Citadel Council! At that time, they absorbed countless races to join them... It is true that the Citadel space station and the mass effect repeater were not made by their Protheans, but those Reapers?
In addition to this normal communication with each other, the Protheans also have a telepathic way of communication. They can feel each other's emotions, ideology, important memories, and even quickly understand each other's physiological system and The circulatory system and genetic information are just like what the other party did to Shepard just now...
What surprised Liara even more is that, contrary to what the current galaxy archaeologists agree on, the Prothean civilization is an enlightened and democratic parliamentary system. Their Prothean Empire turned out to be a complete, A dictatorial civilization with obvious imperialist overtones?
The reason why the other party guides and helps the low-level civilization is just to expand the territory and expand the power?
More than 50,000 years ago, civilizations other than Prothean usually had only two choices after being guided successfully: submit to the Proxian Empire, or be ruthlessly wiped out! And this is why the other party was found to have guided countless current races of the Fortress Council, including the observed humans, Salari, Hana, and their Asari, etc...
then,
Relying on powerful military and technological power, as well as a ruthless and ruthless ruling method that is no worse than the Reapers, the Prothean Empire quickly unified the entire galaxy, with footprints all over the galaxy, and their rule continued. Almost half an era of reincarnation!
Then, the harvesters who harvested a pile of leeks in 50,000 years came to the door...
The cunning reapers aimed at the singleness of the Prothean culture and political system. They easily found the weakness of the Prothean Empire, and quickly and accurately implemented effective strikes and targeted enlightenment methods: raiding the Citadel and civilizing the empire of the top!
Then very easily, the entire Prothean Empire fell apart in an instant and fell into a predicament of chaos, mutual hostility, and fighting each other...
But even then, with the collapse of the entire empire, they still successfully and effectively resisted for centuries before they finally had to perish.
"It turned out to be like this, what a pity..."
"If your God's Citadel hadn't been raided and the high-level officials hadn't been educated, I'm afraid your Proxian Empire might really be able to defeat the Reapers?!"
While Liara sighed, the more she thought about it, the more possible it was!
"Those evil reapers are really too cunning!!"
If you think about it seriously, under the attack of the Reapers, their Citadel Council collapsed into the current situation within two months, and without the help of the powerful reinforcements from the Federation of Heroes, I am afraid that they would all be wiped out by now. The reaper has almost ended the harvest of this cycle, right?
Look at the other Proxians, they have fought for centuries in a chaotic situation, so how strong are they? !
"Hey!"
"Actually, it's not cunning at all, those Reapers are still too stupid!"
?.(〃▽〃)σ
At this time, little Annie, who had been listening to other people's boring stories, couldn't help but speak:
"After they have educated the high-level of the empire, they can obviously rule the entire country slowly, so why do they need to fight?"
?(????
Think about her great Anne Head. At that time, in the Koprulu sector, she used a method similar to "education" to directly obtain a huge empire, so why did she need to fight so many? How many centuries?
Therefore, those Reapers are a bunch of idiots! !
"..."
"..."
However, the people who are immersed in the desolation that the huge Prothean Empire has been wiped out by the Reapers don't care too much about a child's nonsense, they are just worried: such a powerful Prothean Empire They all failed, so this time, can they really defeat those terrible enemies?
The more you know about the monsters of the Reaper, the more powerful and terrifying they feel! After all, with a reincarnation of 50,000 years, they have harvested countless reincarnations in the Milky Way. Is their true strength only those that are revealed now?
Are there more of them beyond the Milky Way?
Just thinking about this kind of terrible thing now makes them feel trembling unconsciously... Could it be that they have only one way to escape in the end?
"Maybe, things are not as bad as we thought..."
"Forget it, let's not talk about the extra things, that's all for today, everyone dismiss the meeting!"
Feeling a little tired, Shepard sighed inwardly, cheered up everyone's morale, and then planned to leave here to digest the complicated information received today.
"This Proxian warrior?"
"No matter what, we will always confront and fight against them. No matter how powerful they are, our confidence will never be shaken! Excuse me, have you ever thought about joining us?!"
Before leaving, Shepard stood in front of the Proxian, solemnly extended his invitation, and stretched out his right hand.
"You can call me Jarvik..."
"If it is against the Reapers, I believe that my strength will not let you down! I will let those Reapers know the last anger of the Protheans from 50,000 years ago!!"
The Proxian Javik didn't shake Shepard's hand, but while announcing his agreement to join, he gritted his teeth and said some aggressive words.
"Very good! Welcome to our Normandy II!!"
Nodding, now that everything has been settled, Shepard intends to leave this dreary place and return to his captain's cabin to have a drink or two to dispel some bad mood.
"etc!"
"Mr. Javik, may I have a tube of your blood? I want to know more about your race!"
"In addition to the necessary examination and immunization, this will be very helpful in treating your possible injuries in the future?"
At this time, when everyone was about to leave with various emotions, Dr. Modine hurried over and said to the Proxian warrior Javik.
"..."
"Are you a Salari? Lizardmen like you have also evolved? Back then, you could only crawl around the planet and eat flies!"
Javik was a little unhappy. Anyone who was stopped by a primitive reptile lizard from that year to draw blood would definitely not be in a good mood.
In the era of their Proxians, these Salari were really just some reptiles that lived in groups.
"..."
"Proxian, please watch your tone!!"
Seeing his companion deflated, Galas stood up quickly, and he was a little upset with this Proxian. The opponent's empire has been destroyed for 50,000 years, and who is showing such a high and arrogant attitude?
"Are you... a Turian?"
"Sure enough, time is a wonderful thing. Even hard-shelled creatures like you who only ate bugs on the planet Paleven have evolved to the point where they can talk..."
"I still remember that your race is just a large insect with an exoskeleton. Even you have developed civilization?"
Humans and Asari were the objects that Proxians focused on cultivating and observing at the beginning, so he was not surprised that the two could evolve successfully! However, for those Salari and Turians, he, Jarvik, was a little bit unflattering.
Who can imagine his astonishment after seeing a lizard and an insect evolve?
"You bastard!!"
"..."
Now, this Prothean has offended almost all the races on Normandy II... It is conceivable that this guy will definitely have no friends in the future!
Even going to the battlefield is the kind that is easy to be blacked out!
"Okay, everyone, here's some good news!"
At this time, when the atmosphere in the interrogation room was not very friendly, Miranda pushed open the door and strode in and shouted.
"Miranda, you're here, how's the situation?"
Knowing what task Miranda was doing, Shepard asked in time.
"The stealth performance and defense effect of those new ghost equipment are very good, even the strength of the mass effect shield is also very good, and the new plasma shield, if added up, the defense effect is at least the best we have before. More than ten times the defense of a good N7 armor!"
"That's really amazing!"
"So Shepard, now we should be able to make that plan ourselves! Infiltrate Anadis in the Horsehead Nebula, go to that Phantom Man's Kronos space station, steal that crucial Prothean VI and Try to destroy or destroy their 'Sinker'!"
After testing the equipment presented to them by the Federation of Heroes, Miranda suggested to Shepard with some excitement.
Now, since there are powerful enough infiltration equipment, it's time to launch an attack on Cerberus and the Phantom Man's lair! She, Miranda, knows the opponent's location very well, and they will definitely not be able to escape!
"It can only be the……"
Just relying on people like them, it is wishful thinking to take back the Divine Citadel! However, if it's just to get back that VI or sabotage the plans of the Phantom Man, blow up their furnace, and stop their dangerous attempt to control the Reaper, then it's still possible.
After all, those mass effect repeaters in the entire galaxy only have one chance to spread the attack effect of the 'Sky Furnace'. Once they are wasted by the phantom people, it will deal a fatal blow to their plan to eliminate the reaper !
She, Shepard, will never allow that phantom man to behave like that! !
"Go get ready, clown, we are now leaving for Anadis in the Horsehead Nebula!!"
Shepard immediately ordered the multi-tool on her left hand, and now she didn't want to wait for a moment.
'clear! commander! '
‘Guaranteed to arrive in three days! ! '
"Wow!"
"Are we going to war again? Or sabotage?"
ヾ(*ΦωΦ)ツ
Hearing that Big Sister Shepard said she was going to trouble that Cerberus, little Anne hurriedly threw away her little bear and jumped off the stool!
If it's going to infiltrate a bad guy's base, she says, she's good at that kind of thing! Because, she is the most powerful ghost agent in the entire star area, bar none!
