From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

"this?!"

"Is that... my god?"

"Give homage to my God."

After the holographic image of "Apu" appeared, except for Xiandel, all the elites and prophet-members, including the three ostriches, couldn't help but let out bursts of excitement.

After all, in the current timeline, the Covenant has not had formal contact with humans, so it is natural that "Apu", who looks the same as humans, has the first impression of whether he is their god.

At the same time, the live scene happening in the Supreme Council was also instantly spread to the entire Covenant Empire.

"."

On the other hand, Apu, who was "standing" next to Xiandel, seemed to have self-awareness, looking around at the elites and prophets present.

Then, "she" faced Xiandel and asked in the elite's native language:

"Captain Luo Si Ze, did you bring me to the Forerunner's Dreadnought Battleship to reveal something?"

"That's right!"

Siander looked at the three ostriches at the front and said in a louder voice:

"Please explain to the three priests the relationship between the Forerunners and the Flood, as well as the real cause of the Forerunners' extinction, and what exactly the creation called the "Great Device Ring" is."

"Ok."

After hearing the clear instructions, "Apu" used the so-called guide and then used holographic imaging to describe a representative and three ostriches, and began to explain the deliberately processed "history".

Moreover, the Apu presented to the Supreme Council is actually just her copy of the data.

Even so, the Apu in front of him also has certain intelligence and can adapt to the environment.

And Atlas, or Sui Yang, expected that Xiandel would be interrogated in public by the three ostriches of truth, sorrow, and mercy after returning to the capital of fraternity.

In addition, the elite clan is too strong, so there is a high probability that these three will use Xiandel's absence from duty to weaken the influence of the elite within the Star Alliance.

For example, in the timeline of "Halo 2", the Elites, Jiralhanae, and Prophets are historical factors that have long-standing grievances. Coupled with the protracted Covenant-Human War, and the fact that humans are the Returners, they were forced to reveal that in the end, led to secession and civil war.

In fact, after the first contact between humans and the Covenant on Harvest, the Prophets of Truth, Sorrow, and Mercy learned that humans were the real restorers through the Forerunner AI imprisoned in the core area of ​​High Charity.

However, in order to consolidate their power, the three prophets chose to bury this fact in their hearts, and then launched a genocidal war against mankind.

As the mainstay of the Star Alliance, the Elite responded to the call without hesitation.

However, after a period of war, most of the elite veterans began to feel confused, and even doubted whether the prophet's order was correct.

Because humans are "weak" compared to their physical fitness and combat skills, but they also have courage and fearlessness that most races do not possess.

Even in the face of a certain death situation, those Marines will still choose to risk their lives and be willing to stay at the end to gain as much survival space and time as possible for their evacuating compatriots.

This makes the elites hope to give humans the opportunity to join the Covenant. After all, humans have much stronger combat power and will than grunts and jackals, and they also value credibility more than Jiralhanae.

At least, the vast majority of human beings will not kill and eat weak allies for no reason and just based on their mood.

By the late stages of the Human-Covenant War, quite a few elite veterans recognized humans more than the Prophets and Jiralhanae in their hearts.

Therefore, the very compatible compatibility between humans and elites made Sui Yang determined to win them over to his own side.

As for the ignorance and arrogance of the prophet family, there is a high probability that they will not be suspicious of the products of the forerunners.

So Sui Yang asked Tranquility River Bank to provide a metal cube-shaped guide and implant Apu's copy data, and then used the Supreme Council in reverse to further disrupt the relationship between the elite and the prophet, igniting a "civil war" in advance.

now.

The Prophet of Truth, who recovered from the shock, instantly understood that Xiandel in front of him and Apu, who was describing how the Forerunners were overwhelmed by the Flood and civil strife, wanted to "slander" their prophet clan.

So, as the leader of the ostrich, it quickly raised its withered left arm without any muscles and said loudly:

"Guards! Recover our divine guide immediately and imprison Captain Luo Si Ze again!"

"and many more!"

However, as soon as the Prophet of Truth finished speaking, an elite councilman with a bright golden helmet and crown stood up to stop him. He glanced at Apu, who was still telling the history of the Forerunners and the Flood, and retorted:

"Dear three priests, please don't forget to interrupt the oracle given by our god. This is also a violation of the doctrine of the Holy Scriptures!"

"Could it be said that the Truth Priest wants to test the law with his own body?"

"Or did Captain Luo Si Ze bring us the oracle, which made you fearful? What are you afraid of?"

After listening to what Apu said, the elite councilors further confirmed that the Flood raging on the surface of 0459 was "filth" that must be removed.

Coupled with the emergence of Apu, Xiandel also has the opportunity to overcome the merits and even reform the Covenant Empire, which was corrupt, ignorant, and did not know how to adapt due to the leadership of the Prophet.

With confidence, and now it is live broadcast for all the people, as qualified politicians, elite congressmen will naturally not let go of this opportunity to add insult to injury.

"."

Hearing this, the three ostriches who were originally so proud now turned pale as they looked at the elite congressmen who had regained the upper hand in public opinion.

They obviously did not expect that Xiandel would actually be able to imitate Forerunner products, and even the "Forerunner AI" was actually cooperating with Xiandel.

The situation seemed to exceed their expectations.

However, the Prophet of Truth promptly made an "interrupt live broadcast" gesture to the camera crew responsible for the live broadcast to prevent negative public opinion from spreading to the entire Star Alliance.

However, when the Supreme Council was once again involved in a dispute, Apu's copy of the data had completed its narration, telling everyone present that the Flood was not a creation of the Forerunners at all, but on the contrary, was the culprit that caused the Forerunners to disappear.

The pilgrimage advocated by the prophet, the sacred ring that allows all believers to ascend to the divine realm, is actually the food used by the forerunners to exterminate the Flood, that is, a galaxy-level strategic weapon for all intelligent life.

At this time, Xiandel turned to look at the elite councilor on his right and continued to say loudly:

"Members of Congress! Even though the Jiralhanae accompanying my fleet knew that the Flood were the enemy of all civilization, they still chose to feed the Flood their own bodies and their useless brains.

As a last resort, my direct subordinates and I used force to suppress the situation and prevent the situation from deteriorating further.

also! "Siander turned to face the three prophets, and his tone also turned angry:

"The pilgrimage proposed by your family is obviously a lie to trick us Sangheili into becoming the executioners of the Covenant!

What follows the footsteps of my God, what about getting rid of worldly distractions and pain, are all false illusions made up by you! "
