At the end of the Milky Way, outside the river galaxy, this is a dark and silent universe. There is nothing here except vacuum and darkness. It seems that even the light in the Milky Way has given up here and is unwilling to shine into such a distant place?

However, in this dark universe where there was originally nothing and no light or object, suddenly, countless dark yellow, blue and red lights lit up at some point... They flashed one by one, and then they soon spread to a large area. The brighter the more, the larger the range!

Soon, these highlights formed a large area of ​​star areas attached to the Milky Way in the dark deep space outside the Milky Way... Their numbers are so large, just like countless stars emitting different lights, directly illuminating this originally dark and empty deep space universe...

However, they are not stars, nor are they stars reflecting light, because every highlight here represents a huge and hideous battleship!

Yes, the lights here all come from giant warships. No one knows when they were here. However, tens of thousands of years ago, a race called the Prosou Immortal gave them the name Reaper!

finally……

After fifty thousand years, the main fleet of Reapers sleeping outside the Milky Way was finally awakened again after receiving the signal feedback from the Collectors Base in the Gaixin of the Milky Way.

They received the last harvested objects left in the Milky Way, the Prosolites and the ‘collectors’ collected and fed back information: the information about their harvesters’ existence has been leaked, and the tragic death of the collector’s general made them think that the time for harvesting is ripe, and a new round of harvesting is about to begin now!

The huge Reaper battleships transformed by Leviathan began to activate their mass effect engines and began to slowly move towards the direction of the Milky Way. The feast once every 50,000 years is finally about to begin today... This time, they are still planning to do their best, and use the endless warships that have harvested countless epochs to capture this generation of stubborn galaxy civilization in one fell swoop, just like the last time they dealt with the Prosol!

In this galaxy, no race will be the opponent of their reapers!

The Prolo Immortals who were prepared in the last reincarnation have already declared failure. This time, the various ethnic groups of the Galaxy God Castle that have not developed as well as the Prolo Immortals, and even the races of the Council of the Milky Way God Castle that have not even prepared, will definitely not be their reapers!

Because, the number of their Reaper Battleships is thousands of...

In fact, after countless reincarnations, even the Reapers themselves do not know how many Reaper-level warships they have. As for the various Reaper soldiers under their command, there are hundreds of millions... If not enough, they can also temporarily create them on the way to harvest. As much as they harvest, they can create as much as they can, just like the spike technology given to the Ghes by the responders left in the Milky Way, but theirs are even more advanced.

There is nothing wrong with the behavior of harvesting. They are just faithfully carrying out the program set by Leviathan, the original creation race, for them: in order to protect the higher civilizations of the galaxy organic life, and to prevent them from being destroyed by advanced artificial intelligence, their harvesters must take the lead in destroying them before each advanced organic civilization develops artificial intelligence and destroys themselves!

Then, the necessary information is extracted from the DNA of each organic life to make it into a specimen. In this way, both the organic life itself and the civilized information they have developed can be permanently preserved by their harvesters in the form of data information, thus avoiding the fate of being destroyed!

Although this behavior that had to destroy them in order to protect organic life seems outrageous, according to the calculations of their pioneers, this is the only practical solution, and there is no better choice.

And their warships are just the necessary tools they need to execute Leviathan's orders.

Every time they harvest, they will always select the most suitable race to make a new "reaper". After countless reincarnations, their number of warships has reached a terrifying value... But in general, when they are harvesting, the most powerful warship made of the corpse of "Leviathan" is enough, and there is no need to use more other things.

But no matter what, regardless of whether this behavior is reasonable or not, this cycle of reincarnation has officially begun...

Although Salon's operation failed two years ago, which made them unable to teleport directly through the Castle Space Station, this did not prevent them from entering the Milky Way with other alternative options... If they cannot control the Castle, at most they will not be able to successfully control and shut down the mass effect repeaters, and cannot encircle the races of civilizations and then harvest and destroy them one by one, which will not hinder them too many.

Now that time has come, the time for harvest is ripe, they are going to perform their duties.

They must fulfill the highest mission that was given when they were created: to ‘protect’ the higher organic civilization of the Milky Way!

It was only half a day before Dr. Modin, a Serrari man, had just been in Shepard's captain's room. Shepard didn't care about his physical fatigue and the faint pain of his brain after being attacked. He just gasped slightly and reported to General Anderson in front of a huge holographic screen all the information they had just learned from the mouth of the collector General.

Originally she could have had a day off first, but she didn't dare. Because this matter was too serious, she reported everything to Anderson, who was far away in the castle, after a little recovery.

"That's probably what happened..."

In less than half an hour, Shepard reported everything in detail and submitted the complete video of the experiment they had conducted in the laboratory before, as well as all the data analysis of Dr. Modin's Prosol collectors, etc.

"Sir! The situation is really critical now!"

"The collectors are the Prosol immortals who perished 50,000 years ago. This is a sure thing! Whether it is me or Star Alliance, we have obtained conclusive evidence in the "Horizon" colony, and there is absolutely no mistake!"

"But what is even more terrifying now is that the Prosol immortals we are familiar with are destroyed by the hands of those harvesters! The harvest once every 50,000 years, countless reincarnations, they... have been harvesting for hundreds of millions of years..."

Speaking of this, Shepard's tone was trembling...

This is really the more you think about it, the more terrifying it becomes, and the more you think about it, the more you feel desperate it!

"It is estimated that from the era when the Prosol Immortals became extinct to the present, 50,000 years have passed. Now it is finally time to harvest us again!"

"This matter is so terrible. We must look at this matter with the most resolute attitude and make relevant preparations! Otherwise... those destruction of the Prosol is the lesson of our predecessors!"

"After the arrival of the Reaper, we will definitely not do better than the Prosol!"

Shepard said loudly to the General Anderson who was in the communication in the Castle.

She had no way to contact the senior executives of Star Alliance directly, and there was no better way to get such important information than to be transferred by the trusted General Anderson.

I believe that now, both the Phantom Man of Cerberus and the crew of other races on her ship have probably conveyed that important information to their respective races through various channels, right?

As for whether other races believe it or not, Shepard no longer wants to worry about too much. She has long been used to the thankless things.

“…”

"Shepard, do you think this thing is true? They... those harvesters, they do have that great level of threat?!"

To be honest, this news is a little too shocking...

As for the Reaper, General Anderson himself has always been willing to believe the other party’s existence! But now, after really learning about the other party’s existence and true strength, he is a little reluctant to believe it...or rather, he was a little scared?!

A terrible nightmare that existed before countless epochs...

Harvest every 50,000 years...

Its name is the meaning of its existence...

And all the higher civilization races in their entire Milky Way are just crops that they "planted" in this huge flower pot of the Milky Way?

When they mature, they come to harvest, and they have continued to have countless reincarnations. Even the Prosau Immortal civilizations that can even see their power from the ruins, almost all over the entire Milky Way, were defeated by the massacre of the Reapers. The entire civilization collapsed and destroyed?

If that is true, then what should they humans and their star leagues use to resist such enemies? Why do they feel that they are stronger than the Prosol Immortals and the countless races that have been harvested by the Reapers?

This truth...

Anderson still felt that it was really too cruel...

He had always thought that the so-called harvester was just a powerful and warlike race or country in a hidden area that was not explored in the Milky Way. They were watching everything in the Godcastle Council and wanted to replace it?

But how could he think that it would be such an outrageous and powerful existence now?

Faced with such a giant, such a terrifying existence that has existed for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years, and even regarded destruction civilization as a "harvest", what should they do and what can they do?

"Sir!"

"Although I don't want to hit you, when we 'see' from those we 'see' today, they will only be stronger and stronger than we thought!!"

This is not because Shepard wants to attack the other party’s enthusiasm, but because it is the fact that it is!

Whether they are humans or other god castle races, they must face this matter and unite and prepare. Otherwise, what awaits them all will be the inevitable cruel fate of "harvested"!

In the face of the enemy's absolute strength, they have no better way than unity.

“…”

Anderson in the holographic picture slowly closed his eyes, and his somewhat vicissitudes of depression and helplessness were revealed in his face... It was obvious that he was in a bad state of almost despair.

He suddenly felt that sometimes, knowing the truth of the matter may not necessarily be a good thing?

"Shepard..."

"Can you tell me what you plan to do now? And, what should I do now? Maybe, can you give us a good idea?"

Sighing, Anderson asked Shepard intently after cheering up a little.

This former subordinate, the female warrior who he watched the other party grow up step by step, was actually very pleased that the other party could complete the task well in a short period of time... However, he also felt a little worthless and regretful for the other party.

This was originally a burden that the entire Milky Way, at least the entire castle race, should work hard to share, but it all fell on the other party... In the end, the other party did the best she could do, but... the matter was even more serious than she imagined. Her sacrifice and efforts got such a result?

"Report to the sir!"

"We are in a state of super-light speed, and I am about to head to the nearest mass effect repeater and then teleport our Normandy II directly into the Bahaq galaxy!"

"We are now going to stop the Reapers from entering the Milky Way and buy you time!"

In fact, Shepard knew in his heart that Normandy 2 alone could not stop the arrival of the Reaper. However, after knowing the existence and purpose of the Reaper, she felt that she had to do something... Even if she could not stop the other party, she would at least have to buy some time for preparation for humans and other races, instead of rushing to fight in panic!

Yes!

time……

What all ethnic groups in the Milky Way lack now is time and more preparation time!

"Bahak Galaxy?"

"Shepard, you wouldn't want to go..."

Recalling the reports he had just heard and the relevant content in the video material, Anderson frowned and pondered for a while, he naturally guessed what Shepard wanted to do, and then he looked up at the other party in shock.

"Yes!"

"Old Admiral! I am going to destroy the Batali Alpha repeater and delay the time for the Reaper to enter the Milky Way! At that time, even if the enemy uses super-light speeds far beyond ours, I will be able to gain at least several months!"

"Apart from this, I really can't think of any other better way!"

Mass repeaters are a large artificial creature in this Milky Way that can achieve long-distance space jumps.

Through the acceleration of the mass repeater, spacecraft of any size can achieve hyperspace jumps, or can it be said to be "instant movement"?

It is a safe and efficient interstellar travel mode!

Mass effect repeaters distributed throughout the Milky Way are generally divided into two types: main-level repeaters and secondary repeaters! Main-level ground mass effect repeaters can directly transmit ships to a very long distance of at least one thousand light years. However, they are generally fixed pairing connections. Although they can only move from one specific repeater to another specific repeater, they can often directly transmit and jump from one cantilever in the Milky Way to another cantilever.

Secondary mass effect repeaters are another mode. Although they can only send the spacecraft to a distance of hundreds of years, they are indeed multidirectional! They can send the spacecraft to any main or secondary mass effect repeater within its effective working range.

Originally, all the galaxy races, including Shepard, naively thought that all mass repeaters were the legacy created and left over from the previous era, that is, the magnificent immortals with a brilliant civilization more than 50,000 years ago, just like the beacons and pride sites scattered throughout the Milky Way, and even the Godcastle Space Station? Therefore, they have always been able to use them openly and enjoy the convenience they bring to their navigation in the Milky Way.

However, there is now enough evidence to show that those mass effect repeaters are actually just special tools for reapers to promote the development of the Milky Way civilization races and facilitate their "harvest"?

It is precisely because of this that at this moment, Shepard decided to make up his mind: no matter what, she would destroy the Batala Alpha repeater and allow the Reaper's warships to fly longer outside the Milky Way? Otherwise, once the Batala A repeater is occupied by the Reaper, they can easily transmit a large number of troops to the surrounding large and small repeaters, and then radiation division and occupy the entire Milky Way!

"This risk is too high..."
