User blog comment:SPARTAN 119/Sovereign (Mass Effect) vs Chise (Saikano)/@comment-143604-20120410195441

Okay, let's get the edges out of the way before I start going into all the reasons WHY this isn't even close:


 * Close Range- Chise. The Crushing Tentacles are really just the Reaper equivalent to stomping on someone, it's not exactly a preferred tactic or weapon. The spontaneous mass generator may not work on any level at all, according to the fundemental laws of EXISTING, but it allows her to shield herself from the tentacles and can hit Sovereign from a distance.


 * Mid-Range- Sovereign. A few issues with this one- first, Sovereign does not actually possess a Hades Cannon; that weapon is used by the Destroyer class Reapers, which are FAR smaller and less effective than Sovereign. Sovereign's actual spine-mounted gun is an absolute ridiculous weapon that scorch the very earth where it strikes. Regardless, the hades Cannon is designed to be an Anti-Air weapon, and is a SURFACE TO ORBIT to destroy anything from ships as big as Turian dreadnaughts to vehicles as small as four man troop transports. And that's with the added force of having to pierce through variables like the atmosphere, so a surface-to-surface attack would be even more destructive. Also- Kinetic Barrier technology is downgraded Reaper tech, as it's part of the way they control the evolution of organic life to suit their own needs, so the Reapers themselves? They have insanely powerful kinetic barriers. Most of Chise's mid-range weapons will be less than a fly buzzing in Sovereign's metaphorical ear, and the Hades Cannon is actually pretty damn accurate (again- the end battle of Mass Effect 3 proves this pretty thorougly.), so Chise doesn't have a prayer against this weapon, much less Sovereign's REAL spine-mounted laser'o'death.


 * Long Range- Sovereign. Let's talk about tungstun for a bit here. Tungstun is one of the densest elements, and as a result it has an insane boiling point. Try 10031 degrees insane. So to have any kind of weapon that converts the Tungstun into liquid, the heat generated would need to be at LEAST 3695 kelvins to reduce the element to it's liquid state. Now, fire that kind of heat AND boiling hot liquid tungstun...at a FRACTION OF THE SPEED OF LIGHT. This gun is so absolutley insane that it's not even funny. It's a literal- point and destroy everything in your immediate area without effort gun, and the range is incredibly long as well, even able to hit buildings on surface from space. The atomic blasts will do enough to slow down Sovereign considerably, but he has to be relativly close for the blast to take, since the epicenter of the boom is Chise herself, while both of the Reaper's weapons can hit Chise from an obscene distance, even from off world.

Some extra facts-


 * The intellegence of the Reapers, espicially Sovereign, is literally incomprehensible to the human mind. He's not a "98" to "70", it's on a scale far beyond Chise's comprehension. Sovereign had basically single-handedly manipulated EVERY galactic event for generations to prepare the coming of the Reapers, without anyone being any the wiser. Merely speaking to him for an extended period is enough for him to turn a normal being into a mindless slave, dominated by the will of a mind. As he states- "Each of us, is a nation", and he's not kidding. Sovereign is made up of millions, maybe even billions, of individual minds, melded together in one mass. Hell, our most brilliant minds couldn't hope to think on the same level of the Reapers. Mr. Fantastic couldn't hope to understand the Reapers, much less Chise.


 * Another major factor- Sovereign is not just a 2-km machine. He's a spaceship. As seen at the beginning of the original game, Sovereign is capable of taking off at such incredible speeds that he would literally scorch the entire earth beneath him, turning it into a wasteland of burned rubble beneath him, as he did to the area outside the Spaceport on Eden Prime. Also- on mobility, the Reapers tend to get underestimated in its terms. On the ground, he's not really all that agile, being 2-km high, but in the air? No man-made craft, nor any craft adhering to the rules of our own knowledge, could possibly make the kind of manovers demonstrated by the Dreadnaught. To paraphrase Joker- "Uh, Shepard- I'm not sure what you did down there, but that ship just made a turn that would sheer any of our ships in half...".


 * Ramming Always Works, as TV Tropes would tell us. Sure, that's an exaggeration, but one cannot forget that Sovereign does have access to a special ramming attack- and it's not to be underestimated. His mass is so big, his mobility so great in air and his shield strength so overpowered, that he could plow through multiple Alliance, Turian and Council dreadnaughts and not only not slow down, but GAIN SPEED while doing so. We're left with the implications that it takes a massive toll on his shielding, but it's still a damn effective and will destroy Chise in a pinch.


 * Deadliest Warrior- If you haven't picked up on this, I believe Sovereign will obleterate Chise. This isn't warrior versus warrior, this warrior versus Eldritch Abomination- Sovereign works on a level of intellegence, skill, experience and weapon damage that is beyond anything Chise could EVER hope to compete against.
