Chapter 253 God? Compatibility "Nonsense" "Initiative" (Two in One)

"This?!"

"Is that my God?"

"Greetings to my God."

After the holographic image of "Apu" appeared, all the elites, prophet councilors, including the three ostriches, except for Ziondel, could not help but let out a burst of emotion.

After all, in the current timeline, the Star Alliance has not had any formal contact with humans, so naturally they have a first impression of whether "Apu", who looks the same as humans, is their god.

At the same time, the live scene of the Supreme Council was instantly spread to the entire Star Alliance Empire.

"."

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

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

"Captain Luo Si Ze, you brought me to the Forerunner's dreadnought battleship, are you trying to reveal something?"

"Yes!"

Siondel looked at the three ostriches at the front and raised his voice:

"Please explain to the three priests the relationship between the Forerunners and the Flood, the real reason for the extinction of the Forerunners, and what the creation called the "Large Device Ring" is."

"Okay."

After hearing the clear instructions, "Apu" used the so-called guide and holographic imaging to explain the deliberately processed "history" to a group of congressmen and three ostriches.

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

Even so, the Apu in front of him also had a certain intelligence and could respond according to the environment.

And Atlas, or Sui Yang, expected that after Siondel returned to the City of Fraternity, he would be publicly interrogated by the three ostriches of truth, sorrow, and pity.

In addition, the Elite Clan is too strong, so there is a great probability that these three will use Ziondel's absence to weaken the influence of the Elite in the Star Alliance.

For example, in the timeline of "Halo 2", the Elite, the Jiralhanae, and the Prophet are long-standing historical factors of grievances. With the long-lasting Star Alliance-Human War, and the forced exposure of the fact that humans are returnees, it eventually led to division and civil war.

In fact, after the first contact between humans and the Star Alliance on the Star of Harvest, the Prophets of Truth, Sorrow, and Mercy learned through the Forerunner AI imprisoned in the core area of ​​the City of Charity that humans are the real returnees.

But in order to consolidate the regime, the three prophets chose to bury this fact in their hearts and then launched a war of genocide against humans.

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

But after a period of war, most of the Elite veterans began to feel confused and even doubted whether the Prophet's orders were correct.

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

Even in the face of a situation where they are bound to die, 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 compatriots who are evacuating.

This makes the elites want to give humans the opportunity to join the Star Alliance. After all, humans' combat power and will are much stronger than those of the Grunts and the Jackals, and they value credibility more than the Jiralhanae.

At least, the vast majority of humans will not make actions of wantonly killing and devouring weak allies for no reason, just based on their mood.

In the late stage of the war between humans and the Star Alliance, quite a number of elite veterans recognized humans more in their hearts, rather than prophets and Jiralhanae.

Therefore, the compatibility between humans and elites makes Sui Yang have to win them over to his own forces.

And the ignorance and arrogance of the Prophet Clan are quite likely to not raise doubts about the products of the Forerunners.

So Sui Yang asked the Quiet Riverbank to provide a metal cube-shaped guide, implanted with Apu's copy data, and then reversely used the Supreme Council to further disintegrate the relationship between the elites and the prophets, igniting the "civil war" in advance.

At this moment.

The Prophet of Truth, who had recovered from the shock, also instantly understood that Siondel in front of him, and Apu, who was describing how the Forerunners were crushed by the flood and civil strife, wanted to "slander" their Prophet Clan.

So, as the leader of the ostrich, it quickly raised its shriveled left arm with no muscles and shouted:

"Guards! Retrieve my God's Guide immediately and re-imprison Captain Luo Si Ze!"

"Wait!"

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

"Respected three priests, please don't forget that interrupting the oracle given by my God is also a violation of the doctrine of the Holy Scripture!"

"Does the Priest of Truth want to test the law with his own body?"

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

After listening to what Apu said, the elite councillors were more certain that the flood raging on the surface of 0459 was a "filth" that must be removed.

In addition, the appearance of Apu also gave Ziondel the opportunity to make up for his mistakes, and even reform the Star Alliance Empire, which was corrupt, ignorant, and inflexible due to the leadership of the prophet.

With confidence, and now it is a live broadcast for the entire public, the elite parliamentarians, as qualified politicians, will naturally not miss 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 finished telling the "people" 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! "

After the words fell, Apu, who was standing next to Siandel, played the conversation content of the prophets of truth, pathos, and compassion in the meditation square at the right time, as well as their expressions when they spoke.

! !

Seeing this, the three ostriches were dumbfounded.

Yes, since Xian'del can control the Forerunner's equipment and can also make the Forerunner AI act together, it means that their private discussions are also recorded.

What's more, they can't prevent Apu's exposure the way they can prevent national live broadcasts.

After all calculations, it was unexpected that it would be disintegrated by brute force by an elite captain who seemed to have no brains and no plans, and only knew how to fight.

After all the elite members heard and saw the secret conversation on the island in the middle of the lake, they were collectively stunned and confused.

Immediately afterwards, there was——

"Ouch! You bunch of wheelchair-bound bastards!"

"It's been too long since we started a rebellion that made you forget who is the fighting race?!"

"Kill! Kill these ugly scum!"

The situation was completely out of control.

Although elite MPs are politicians, they were all veterans with military backgrounds.

So after knowing the truth, they jumped off the auditorium and prepared to tear apart all the ostriches in the Supreme Council with their bare hands.

Even several honorary guards who were supposed to maintain order at the scene chose to "rebell" at this moment, waving energy spears and jumping onto the auditorium where the prophet councilor was.

Buzz—!

Chi——!

The extremely high-temperature, extremely high-energy plasma blade can easily cut the head and limbs of a prophet whose body functions have been severely degraded.

You must know that the temperament of the elite is inherently hotter than that of humans. Since the prophet planned to eliminate them, they did the opposite and eliminated the prophet in advance.

And at this stage, none of the Jiralhanae beasts are serving as glory guards. All protection work is performed by elites. Therefore, the Prophet Councilor has no means to parry.

! ! !

As for truth, pathos, and compassion, there is no chance of escape.

They were pulled away from the floating wheelchair by the violent Xiandel, and then were thrown directly to the metal floor, letting out painful wails.

Especially the oldest prophet of mercy, he almost completed the so-called "ascension" ahead of schedule because of Xiandel's actions——

That is to say, I almost died.

"Ouch! Captain Luo Si Ze! What are you doing!"

However, the guard captain rushed to Xiandel, raised his energy spear, and protected the three prophets behind him.

"What?"

Siander took two steps back and said in a deep voice: "Of course I am preparing to control them and then parade them through the streets.

Let all Sangheili understand that it was their lies that caused the blood of our ancestors to be shed in vain and sacrifices that were worthless. "

"But your act of killing the master is an insult to the honor of our clan." The captain of the guard also responded in a deep voice.

At the same time, dozens of confidants gathered around the guard captain to confront Xiandel, a group of elite councilors, and their comrades who chose to "rebel."

"Kill the Lord?"

Hearing the words of the guard captain, Siander couldn't help but laughed angrily:

"My brother, they were never our masters! They were at best partners in managing the Covenant with us, the Sangheili.

Besides, they were the ones who betrayed first, so how can they insult the honor of our clan? "

"."

Upon hearing this, the Glory Guards who still chose to protect the prophet, including the captain, fell silent.

Of course they understood the truth, but the scene in front of them broke the teachings they had received since childhood and the concepts they had long fixed.

According to the holy scripture, even if they face their own kind, their glorious guards must ensure the lives of the three supreme priests.

"Yu Zhong!"

At this time, the elite congressman with a bright golden helmet and crown scolded:

"If Captain Luo Si Ze had not been exposed, and if the arrangement of the three of them had continued for a long time, our Sangheili would have been wiped out by the prophet and the rising Jiralhanae, and we would have become a cloud of history!"

"Lay down your weapons and return to your own clan, that's what you should do." Another congressman persuaded him kindly.

Although Xiandel has a numerical advantage, all the Glory Guards are one against ten, or even against a hundred, not to mention they hold the most sophisticated melee weapons in their hands.

If they come here to be strong, they are no match for the Glory Guards.

"Everyone."

Suddenly, Apu, who had been watching the riot the whole time, said:

"The forerunners who you regard as gods have designated the race named humans as the returners."

As he said that, Apu turned his eyes to the guard captain:

"So according to the judgment of your holy scriptures, you should obey the commands of humans, instead of protecting the ignorant priests who are trying to frame you."

"What nonsense!"

The prophet of truth, who had regained his composure, struggled to sit up and said in a hoarse voice:

"It's all fabricated. You and the guide are just props used by Luo Size to start a rebellion! Hurry! Execute the heretics and interpreters in front of you!"

The Prophet of Truth shouted while giving orders to the captain of the guard.

"It's not nonsense." However, Apu said calmly:

"The Forerunner AI located in the core area of ​​High Charity can prove the fact that humans are the Returners."

After hearing Apu mention the Forerunner AI, the Prophet of Mercy, whose faith and will had gradually collapsed, couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"How did you know about the divine envoy? It shouldn't be. It shouldn't be."

This self-talk actually helped Apu prove that what she said was true.

"Idiot!" The Prophet of Sorrow was furious, then he looked up at the captain of the guard and begged:

"Ripa, I gave you the power and glory you have today. I don't ask for gods or gods, right or wrong. I just ask you to take us away."

But before the prophet of sorrow could finish speaking——

Swish——!

A double-edged plasma lightsaber was thrown out by Xiandel with all his strength, and passed quickly past the entangled Glory guards and the guard captain.

Bah——!

The high-temperature double blade struck the Sorrowful Prophet in the chest, killing him instantly.

"Why are you so stubborn?" Xiander complained in human language, then raised his hand and patted a rebel guard beside him, thanking him:

"Brother, thanks to your acquiescence, we have been saved from a lot of trouble."

"Ouch."

The rebel guard nodded lightly in response.

Not long ago, Xiandel took advantage of Apu to speak again, came to the rebel guard, and tried to remove the plasma sword hilt attached to the opponent's waist.

The rebel guard noticed these small actions and instantly understood what Xiandel wanted to do, but he did not stop him, and then successfully killed the Prophet of Sorrow, preventing the "foolishly loyal" guard captain from continuing to be bewitched.

Then, Siander raised his voice and said:

"Everyone! In fact, the Returned Lord has come to us, and I met the Returned Lord at close range in the miraculous earth core world, who is truly worthy of allegiance!

So now we should take the initiative in our hands for him and for the future of our Sangheili! "
