The Arrival relay was destroyed - and it's energy forcibly released.
The relays in 3 were connected, and in unison dispersed their energy naturally.
It's about as cut and dry as that.
Shooting a gas tank vs opening the valve on the tank will have wildly different outcomes. The Crucible opened the valve to the relays, so to speak.
And to answer the other guy above me - you can't say that never happened. For all we know it's happened several times before. We have no way of being sure that the relay network is complete - there could be 100s of them that were destroyed that we don't know about, lost to time. Or alternatively the Reapers repaired them - it is within their power... I wouldn't say that's a writing hole.
Even if in 500 million years, nobody came up with that idea - it's still not a writing flaw imo. I mean we are playing Andromeda right - are you telling me that in some 500 million years, no other species or group of species every considered the journey? Especially knowing the ones who came before us like the Protheans, probably could have done it at their leisure? Now THAT is a real timeline based hole. (unless we want to get tinfoil hat about it - and assume it is possible a species in the past has done it, and we just don't know yet 😉 )
- Approved
Its been mentioned by devs before that the energy 'cloud' thing we see isn't actually visible. Its symbolic for us so that we can see the relay’s doing their thing to stop the reapers around the galaxy. A visual for the players more than something that is actually visable for real.
