The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

[I can't accept it!We gave them breath, shape, and life, and we created them—but now, we end up being destroyed by our own creations?You will pay the price and so will they!I will make these rebels never see their loved ones, and one day, I will come back and tell everyone that our time is not over, order is still ours... NO!It's up to me! 】

Several individuals were arguing fiercely, as if the fierce battle outside had nothing to do with them.But with a violent shaking, the screen trembled violently.The cabin exploded, and the owner of the vision flew out of the cabin. Before being covered by the flames, he saw his companion in the cabin stretching out his hand towards him, and then the breach repaired itself, locking him in the scorching universe.

After half a second, the screen freezes into pitch black.

To be honest, no one thought that such a picture would appear in front of their eyes.The huge amount of information revealed in it and the meaning it represented caused everyone present to fall into a state of aphasia for a long time. Everyone silently chewed the information in their hearts, and the same answer gradually emerged in people's hearts. forming……

It took a long time for War Scythe to react. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt his heart beating heavy and fast:

"It's really... a shocking picture."

Oregana next to her also had a silly look on her face:

"do you know?"

"Know what?"

"We really want Artanis and Alarak to sit here and watch this documentary together."

"... Be a human being! Don't persecute the eldest son of the gods. But why do the eldest sons of the gods in every world have to come out like this?"

Liu Lizi interrupted the conversation between Oregana and War Scythe:

"Boss, they mentioned the mantle, could it be that the eldest son is..."

Scythe of War nodded. In "Halo", the Latin name of the forerunner is not [Forerunner], but [Primoris prognatus], which means "Firstborn", and then contact the dialogue about mantle and human beings, the identities of both parties It's ready to come out:

"That's right, the eldest son refers to the forerunner. And those who are chased by them are the creators who disappeared in the long river of history earlier than the forerunners—the forerunners."

This is correct with part of the memory data provided by the chief think tank.

In order to find the origin of the Flood, the chief think tank came to a planet called Kenfina with the approval of the parliament. At that time, she did not know that there was a special relationship between this planet and the ancient forerunners.

There, she met an old pioneer named 'Glory of the Old Sun', who told her that - 1000 million years ago, the pioneers betrayed the pioneers and wiped them all out.They passed Kenfinar in pursuit of the Herald.However, some Forerunners in the fleet felt that eliminating the Forerunners was a sacrilegious crime, and these heretics were either summarily executed or exiled on the planet.

At that time, the Forerunner fleet had launched an extermination operation against the Precursors within the Milky Way, and chased the evacuation fleet of the Forerunners to leave the Milky Way, but they did not return to the Milky Way until the end. The Forerunners exiled on this planet were the only ones in the pursuit. Survivors who survived.

The clues are strung together.

The unknown Herald roared before the battleship was sunk - one day, I will come back again and tell everyone that our time is not over, order is still up to us... No!It's up to me!

When the missionaries captured Chamhak and found the ancient corpse-brain beast 'primordial' locked in the stasis lock by humans, the primordial said to the missionaries and all the forerunners - my people millions of years ago I once gave you breath, gave you shape, gave you life, and I am the last survivor.I am the last survivor who was revolted by your kind and ruthlessly destroyed.I am the last pioneer.The day of our vengeance is not far away.

Then the Forerunner-Flood War broke out.The existence in the picture may be the later primordium.

And another conclusion is also very clear——

"Multi-eye pudding... turned out to be a pioneer..."

In the battle of Ai Qiumin's residence, one pioneer stood behind the flood demon, and the other pioneer was in the swarm of dark worms. Both the original base and the multi-order pudding were no longer what they used to be.

"It's no wonder that at that time, everyone except the pioneer himself could use the Star Road." Oregana said thoughtfully, and showed a regretful expression, "There are pioneers on both sides of the co-author. After thinking about it in the toilet for 10 years, I probably never guessed that there is such an operation. Tsk... the last pioneer, what a pity."

"Sometimes it's like this." War Scythe patted her shoulder armor, "Don't be too sorry, you couldn't save him at that time, and we couldn't save him—he didn't even think about us saving him, he just hoped that we could Know his memory. Sit down and read on... to see why he was with the Dark Worm and what he did at critical time points."

"Ah."

Chapter 1113 Chapter 141: Soul Reincarnation

This is the memoir of the multi-eyed pudding and the chronicle of the universe's ancient past.Accompanied by the clicking sound of the handle and the mouse in Yi Sixiang's hand, sections of records that had been sealed for countless years were opened.

After being thrown from the boat, the multi-eyed pudding escaped the pursuit of the forerunners, and also saw the end of the forerunner fleet being led into a trap, and finally strangled by the activated star road.Afterwards, Multime Pudding abandoned his body——

It was a process that seemed uncomfortable.

Just like humans and Precursors, two of their own creations, Precursors also have a human-like appearance.Although the face cannot be observed due to viewing angle problems, the hands, feet and torso can still be seen.At the beginning, the center of his body split open, and part of his body tissue and debris spurted out from the crack, followed by a white translucent thing.

That thing was like an adult insect getting out of a pupa, struggling with all its strength, and even the whole body began to twist violently——with a range that the joints could not bear, this tossed the body almost to pieces.

Then, a brand new existence was born.

Against the black background of the universe, a translucent shapeless creature slowly stretched out its body. It trembled and floated for a while, as if it was recovering the energy consumed when it just broke out of the cocoon.

"His field of view has changed, and the observation range is not limited to visible light. Let me modify the display data on the screen."

As Yi Sixiang said, she pressed the resolution button, and selected Adaptive in the pop-up [Custom] and [Adaptive].As expected of a high-tech product, ease of use was considered from the very beginning.This has always been the style of the great race, and their products are usually very approachable... Considering that they also had a not so approachable era in the past, it may indicate that the technological development of the great race has not stopped.

The screen extended to all sides, and finally became a semi-enclosed wide field of vision around the entire front, close to 270 degrees, and the entire bridge seemed to be an observation deck.

The pioneer of this state is like a jellyfish. He didn't look at his original body, but waved his new body and began to move away at an accelerated pace—that decisive gesture seemed to completely shake off everything in the past. of.

"Why did it become like this?"

Artes Vatum asked.He is not unaware of physical changes. The average height of the pioneer warriors in the past was more than three meters, and they wore armor like gods. The transformed human warriors changed from 1.8 meters to [-] meters and [-] meters. He is a powerful warrior who has undergone strict training and is unstoppable by the Sanheli warriors with superb martial arts skills. The San'Shium, who has undergone technological transformation from the forerunners and activated psychic powers, has also changed from the weak and weak image of the past, and has become a member of the Star Alliance. The ceiling of combat power in .

However, no matter how everyone changes, at least they still retain the general shape of the past.

What's the matter with this pioneer?Suddenly resorted to shelling out, turned directly into another creature, and started swimming in the universe like an ocean?Isn't this too unrestrained?

"Legends say that the pioneers walked the world in many forms. They were flesh and blood, but their spirits lived forever... That shell may really be just a skin for them." Oregana looked at the screen next to her. The constantly dancing membranous canopy, the light shining on it is undoubtedly the brilliance of spiritual energy. Under the canopy, Oregana can vaguely see many space distortion points.

Using space warping to push oneself forward, this operation clone warrior is very familiar with, this is the acceleration method of the micro-jump thruster.In other words... this pioneer is using the physical body (?) to open the slight curve.This is far beyond the scope of normal creatures.

"I think it's a kind of feathering."

Warscythe also commented, asking:

"32, do you still remember the race discovered by the research ship 'Moon-watching Fox' at the beginning of last year?"

"I have the impression..." Oregana nodded, with an expression of "how can I forget that?" "That is the most bizarre race we have ever seen, really. So, it is indeed a bit of that mean……"

Till Vadam couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked:

"Excuse me, what kind of race is that?"

"emmm... probably like this. When our scientific research ship arrived in that world, we found a strange flying creature living on the thick clouds of that world. Their bodies are very fragile, almost a layer of neural networks and air bags Composed, have no feeding organs, survive on sunlight and tiny amounts of psionic energy drawn from the Warp, and are very, very fragile." She explained "They also don't reproduce at all, and it's not known how they evolved to this point in the first place. "

"It sure sounds weird... so what's the truth?"

"The truth is, this is just a stage in their life." Oregana shrugged, and continued, "The scientific expedition team thought it was a man-made creature, and they stared at it for several weeks and found nothing, so they started They surveyed the surface through the thick thunderclouds. As soon as they went there, they found a city-state civilization that was probably in the Bronze Age on the surface. In the stone buildings built along the mountain, a large number of humanoids with gray and white skin lived biology."

"Well……"

"The scientific expedition team followed the normal contact procedures to contact these creatures. They are intelligent and gentle, and they believe in a religion called 'Karacada', which means 'ascension' in their language. At first, the scientific team The expedition team didn't know what it meant, they just guessed whether they saw the giant atmospheric beasts above, so the primitive religious belief appeared. But after building a good relationship with these aborigines, the expedition team discovered that this is not the case—"

Till Vadam's lips moved, and he felt that he could probably guess something.

"The captain of the scientific expedition team, as a distinguished guest from the sky, went to their religious ceremony - there, respectable old people sat on the altar, and incense was lit around it, just like an ordinary ceremony, everyone Kneel down and worship, and then say a prayer or something." The skullmaker made a gesture, "It turns out that it's different here, and the captain was taken aback because he watched those old people explode one by one. The brain crawled out of the head, the neural network and the cerebral cortex were directly stretched, filled with air through the still moving lungs, and flew straight into the sky like a balloon in the constant rain all year round—that is, those flying creatures above the clouds variants."

"This...but what is the meaning of this?"

Every stage in the life of this type of creature has biological significance. Taking some insects as an example, the larval stage is to eat, and the adult stage is to reproduce. Some races with similar ecology are in contact with other civilizations in the universe. Afterwards, the first time I heard the word 'Children's Cesium', I was always in a daze, followed by 'Wow'.

However, only the brain has this kind of operation, so I don't know the meaning at all-the final stage of life is to break through the clouds that never go away and see the sun. It really doesn't make sense. Evolution has never been so romantic and subjective. of.

"It's for reproduction." War Scythe replied instead of Oregana, "After the 'ascension', those individuals will have spiritual resonance with the individuals in a certain area below during the ascent process, stimulating their hormone secretion, bringing Fertility season, and ascension itself is also the result of the influence of hormones. This phenomenon only occurs in specific seasons. And these aborigines know almost nothing about ascension bodies, so they put a religious concept on them, and The consciousness of the ascending individual is effectively lost upon ascension, and those floating above the clouds have only basic reflexes."

This limits the development of their civilization, because when the scale of the city-state becomes larger, the spiritual resonance will become stronger, causing the ascension phenomenon to be disordered, which directly leads to problems with the fertility rate.So they consciously control the population and watch out for climate change.

According to their mythology, people who ascended in ancient times could still talk to their relatives in the past, and could control the altitude, sheltering an area for decades or even longer, but now it has gone backwards a lot, which has also led to Many city-states were destroyed.Although the specific reason is not known, this indicates that this race is falling into a crisis of slow decline, and the follow-up investigation team is investigating more detailed content.

But nothing came out this year.

This example gave Till Vadam a lot of ideas. He looked at the barely moving stars on the screen and whispered:

"Is it the same with pioneers?"

"Maybe it's closer to the Hydra type?"

"It's something I hate..." The person in charge of putting the dishes showed a bitter face, "I feel uncomfortable thinking about it..."

The word Hydra is to the great race of Yis, which is equivalent to what Isstvan is to a certain bald head who is currently doing ideological construction for the Galahani people.The days of shooting Plasma Pistols against flying Hydras are memories that every Yithian will never forget.

"It's not a flying polyp, it's a type similar to the lighthouse jellyfish." Oregana waved her hand and explained, "The records of the pioneers said, 'Death, rebirth, evolution goes round and round, and the spirit is eternal', we think it's quite like."

The Arbiter has heard about this amazing creature in his recent study of Earth - Earthlings seem to enjoy investigating the creatures on their planet and making easy-to-understand documentaries, which has never happened to the Sangheili between.The Sangheili people's understanding of the creatures on Sanghelios is still at a very primitive stage, that is to say, they know what they are, whether they can be eaten, whether they are fierce or not, and whether they can be domesticated, but more detailed content I just don't understand.

So he watched human documentaries with gusto, and even hoped that one day in the future he would be able to meet the same person from another world narrated by the ancient narrator surnamed Zhao.That was the human host that the arbiter liked the most. Although he couldn't understand and could only read the subtitles, the voice was great.

In those programs, he learned that the lighthouse jellyfish, like other jellyfish, is divided into two types, male and female, reproduces in a conventional way, and usually, they will also live and die in a traditional way.

However, lighthouse jellyfish often do not die as usual, but "reverse the cells of their body to younger", but this "reverse growth" is conditional, when they encounter starvation, physical damage or other sudden It happens in times of crisis.At this time, the lighthouse jellyfish will transform itself into a water drop-like cyst, and then continue to develop from this cyst into the primitive life form of jellyfish - a polyp colony.

This is true of the on-screen Herald, who, when thrown overboard in the harsh environment, transforms himself into another form, one fit for life in the universe—not death or rebirth, but several Switching between different states, its essence has not changed.This is still a pioneer, as if whether it is a polyp or a jellyfish, it is a lighthouse jellyfish.

He can actively realize reincarnation on his own, and... the body bends slightly and soars wildly in the universe.This can't help but make people think that the evolution process of this thing may not be a creature born from a planet conventionally, but a space/semi-subspace creature such as a void whale, a tiyanchi whale, or a space amoeba.

The technological advantages brought about by priority development, and the broader vision of ordinary races bring completely different development paths. They can easily recognize the subspace and use its accompanying related technologies to make their consciousness become Indestructible, like the Xel'Naga.When these creatures have sufficient intelligence and sociality, coupled with long-term training, their experience and knowledge will gradually accumulate and form a behemoth.In this way, he can naturally lead the entire universe and become an unshakable creator.

But there are always surprises... In this regard, it is the same as Sarnaga.

Oregana sighed secretly, she reached out to touch the screen, and asked:

"Can you speed up the playback? He has been flying like this for several minutes."

"I've been adding very fast," Yi Sixiang put the handle on his lap and shrugged. "In fact, he has been flying for almost 30 years."

Even after 30 years, the surrounding starlight has hardly moved.It can be seen that he is really not flying fast...

"what?!"

"It will take about ten years to enter the superluminal stage."

"Now I know why the Harbinger needs a battleship..."

Although humans can run, they still need to build cars; pioneers can bend their bodies, but they also need vehicles to make them fly faster and safer... Logically, there is really no problem.

In the following decades, Multi-eyed Pudding ran around like a headless chicken, and his mental activities appeared in the form of subtitles from time to time, most of which were thinking and reflecting on the way the pioneers treated their own creations, recalling the past. Good times, and thinking about the way ahead.
