Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

'Fuck...'

Listening to Halsey's translation, William said another shit in his heart.

Because what she said, or the textual description carved on Gepakri Tepe, is very similar to the Harbinger-Forerunner War, Human-Forerunner War in Halo.

Most importantly, it also mentions a 'flood' sweeping across the galaxy.

The literal translation of 洪魔 is Flood.

Because the Flood Demon is out of control like a flood, it is called the Flood, or the Flood Demon, by the Forerunners, humans and many intelligent races.

The Flood is an extremely dangerous parasitic life form.

They can absorb and assimilate any intelligent creature, such as humans, forerunners, elites, grimaces and other species.

As long as there is one spore on a planet, the entire planet is facing catastrophe.

If an intelligent creature is infected and assimilated, then the Flood will gain everything from that creature, memories, emotions, and knowledge.

When the infected body grows to a certain level, the Flood Demon will give birth to a special body, the Gravemind Beast, on this planet.

Once the Gravemind appears, it means that there is no room for saving this planet.

The Flood under the command of the Gravemind will not infect intelligent life forms with instinctive madness like wild animals, but will strategically and tactically assimilate the entire planet.

They will help each other, and will make selfless sacrifices when necessary to achieve the goal of benefiting the entire species.

Moreover, with the rapid increase in the number of assimilated intelligent life forms, the IQ, EQ, knowledge and other aspects of the Gravemind Beast will increase exponentially.

This is also the reason why once the Gravemind appears, the planet will be declared a 'death sentence'.

Moreover, Halsey also mentioned 'brilliance' in the translation just now, and William immediately guessed that the thing must be 'halo'.

halo...

From William's point of view, that is a truly 'interstellar' weapon, several...dozens of orders of magnitude more powerful than the so-called Quantum Bullet, Star Destroyer, Death Star, etc.

When the halo matrix is ​​turned on, the neutrino pulse waves released at the same time will saturate and cover the entire galaxy.

Only simple life forms, such as algae, moss, and plants will not be affected, and any other forms of life will be annihilated in this pulse wave.

This... is the 'purification' described in the inscription.

At the expense of their own race, the Forerunners retained the data of other intelligent beings, and activated the halo to eliminate the threat of the Flood.

When the aftermath of the pulse wave dissipated, the autonomous artificial intelligence of the Forerunners started to work, using the saved data of intelligent life, to bring the Milky Way back to life again like a '3D' printing.

Although the Forerunners have committed many acts of treachery, at this moment, they are indeed qualified to be called the overlords of the galaxy.

As for the pioneers...

William didn't know much about it, mainly because there was very little information about this race on the Internet, so he couldn't study it too deeply.

But what he knows is that the species of pioneer is equivalent to the creator in various religions, and it is the real creator.

They can walk in the world in various forms, and can have flesh and blood bodies similar to their own creations to guide, awaken and teach their 'children'.

It can also use the form of consciousness and energy to observe the universe in multiple dimensions.

In short, there is very little information about the pioneers.

Of course, he can still remember some general details of Halo, because Halo has been with him for more than ten years since he came into contact with Halo: CE in the original world in 2006.

It's hard to forget.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have just met Halsey and proposed the Spartan plan.

.

Hum... Halsey, who had finished translating the inscription on the stone pillar, didn't notice William's stupefied state at all, but continued:

I thought it was some kind of mythological account, just like ancient Greek mythology, human beings use exaggerated narrative techniques.

But if it's associated with the Covenant...

Then there is at least a high probability that the content recorded on this stone pillar actually happened.

William, what do you think.

Huh? Ah... uh... wait.

William, who heard Halsey's call, was relieved, and then began to organize his language, preparing to tell Halsey some 'truth'.

He glanced at Carmen not far away, and after confirming that Carmen was concentrating on commanding the crew, William whispered to Halsey:

Catherine, what I'm going to tell you next can only exist between you and me, ok?

?

Halsey was taken aback for a moment, but his face soon recovered, and he smiled at William:

You have told me so many secrets, have you seen me tell others? Well, stop being suspicious and tell me.

Okay, then...

Next, William told Halsey about the relationship between the pioneers, the forerunners, and the ancient humans.

Then there was the emergence of the Flood. Human beings paid the price of the entire race and barely controlled the attack of the Flood, but the technology was regressed to the primitive era by the pioneers.

Then came the super weapon of the halo, and the Covenant's treatment of the Forerunners as gods and humans as blasphemy.

Finally there is the leading race of the Covenant - the Prophets.

The Prophet brainwashed all the races of the Covenant, thinking that activating the halo is a key step in the pilgrimage, etc. Anyway, the main points about the Covenant and the Forerunners are all out of the tray.

However, William did not disclose the game plot of Halo, but only let Halsey understand the characteristics of these races and the connections between them.

...

After listening to the truth William told, Halsey fell silent with a dignified expression, as if deep in thought.

She would never doubt the authenticity of what William said, so she had chosen to believe it with a tacit understanding, and kept all the secrets for William.

A few seconds passed.

Huh... Halsey took a breath, looked up at William and said:

Combined with what you just said, then I can explain many abnormal phenomena.

Oh? How do you say? William asked.

Halsey turned to look at the holographic screen, set his eyes on the inscription on the Gobekri Stone, and said softly to William:

According to the content recorded on Stonehenge, it proves that our human beings were once an extremely developed civilization, which also explains why there have been hundreds of thousands of years of blank civilization in human history.

As for the legendary gods such as Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, there are also god-level abnormal phenomena that we think of, such as Anubis...

It may also be the super-ancient humans who escaped the downgrade of the forerunners, or the descendants of those super-ancient humans.

In short, the 'abnormality' they showed is actually not too different from what I speculate, it is just the technology and weapons of the super ancient era.

These 'gods' possess super-ancient genetic technology to change their own structure, and can combine with each other, or combine with ordinary humans to give birth to offspring.

But in the end, because of the small number of people and the internal strife, it finally fell into the long river of history.
