Chapter 292 Catch them all in one fell swoop
The reason why Duanmu Huai chose to have the Star Alliance gather here was not only to kill people but also to take revenge on the Prophet clan.
You must know that a long time ago, the expedition fleet of the Human Empire came here and suffered heavy losses due to the battle with the Flood. At that time, they chose to form an alliance with the local prophet family.
However, facts have proven that those who are not of my race must have different minds. During the Forerunners' campaign, in order to avoid the fate of annihilation, the Prophets betrayed humanity. This allowed the Forerunners to break through humanity's final line of defense and defeat humanity. Because of his merit in leading the way, the prophet was treated as a lackey by the forerunners and let go.
But humans were not so lucky. Most of the humans who resisted until the end had their souls and bodies broken down by the Forerunners using recombinant machines. This technology was invented by the Forerunners, originally to use it on themselves, to reorganize their bodies and sublimate themselves into a higher existence.
However, during the experiment, the Forerunners discovered that the recombination machine had major flaws. The life born after the recombination lost its original consciousness and turned into a furious and obedient machine. So the Forerunners gave up the plan and used the recombination machine for War——Well, it can be seen that the Forerunners are much smarter than those idiots in space. At least they know how to do an experiment first to see the results, instead of sending all their own people to death out of ignorance.
You know, at that time, humans finally drove the Flood out of the galaxy. They were already severely injured, but then they were attacked by the Forerunners and betrayed by the Alliance. At that time, humans also discussed whether they should reintroduce the Flood back to the galaxy so that both they and the Forerunners would be killed. But in the end, humans did not decide to implement this plan.
This period of history is very touching for players. Especially in the end, this expedition fleet would rather perish than bring the Flood back to become another threat to mankind. This alone moved many players, and after that, the Star Alliance was in bad luck, especially the prophets who led the way, were slaughtered by the players, and all planets were wiped out.
After all, people hate betrayers more than enemies.
Moreover, this also further deepens the players' understanding that they must have different feelings towards those who are not our own race. It has been proven once again that any alien race other than humans is unreliable.
This is also the reason why Duanmu Huai never interacts too closely with foreign races, no matter how friendly and gentle they currently behave. But after all, they are not human beings. When faced with the pressure of life and death, they will not live and die with humans. Instead, they are more likely to betray or even betray humans for the continuation of their own race.
Look at the prophet family, isn't it the best example? After the Forerunners disappeared, the prophet family, who were not imprisoned and exiled like humans, formed the Star Alliance and became the top leaders in ruling this galaxy, enjoying prosperity and wealth for hundreds of thousands of years. . Not only did he forget his despicable history of betrayal, but he even shamelessly claimed that he was the successor of the Forerunners?
Haha, all the loyal soldiers died on the battlefield, and the lackeys who betrayed their companions and led the way were high-ranking officials and well-paid, enjoying endless glory and wealth--but this is the end!
The metal monsters that Duanmu Huai and others encountered before were actually the recombinant products of human beings decomposed by the recombinator.
"…………I really didn’t expect that I could do such a thing…………"
After listening to Duanmu Huai's explanation, the girls also fell into silence, and Lani also sighed with emotion.
"Decompose the soul and reassemble it... This is indeed something that only gods can do."
"When civilization reaches a certain level, it is indeed very close to the gods."
Duanmuhuai shrugged his shoulders. In fact, there are indeed alien races like the Forerunners who have sublimated their entire race and abandoned their bodies, leaving only their spirits. But... none of this matters.
"The enemy must be destroyed, and the traitors... must also pay the price for what they have done."
As he spoke, Duanmuhuai pressed the button on the control panel to open the originally closed planet.
“——————————”
At the same time, the Covenant fleet hovering outside Requiem also noticed something strange happening on the planet.
"Report, the blockade on Requiem seems to be being lifted!"
"What?"
Upon hearing the report, the Prophet of Truth was suddenly startled, raised his head and looked forward, and then he saw that in front of him, the shell of the planet that was originally wrapped in metal moved slowly, and then opened a door. However, before the truth prophet could get excited, suddenly, a powerful force grabbed its battleship and plummeted directly towards the interior of the planet!
"What's going on?"
"It's a gravity well! We are trapped in a gravity well and can't break free!!"
“No………………”
In this way, all the Covenant fleets hovering near Requiem were pulled into the range of Requiem by the gravity well. The Prophet of Truth only felt a violent collision, and the next moment, it lost consciousness.
I don’t know how long it took before the prophet of truth slowly woke up. Soon, a Jiralhanae came to the Prophet of Truth.
"Prophet, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, where are we...?"
"We are now inside Requiem..."
"Okay, very good!"
Upon hearing the answer, the Prophet of Truth immediately raised his head.
"Send all personnel immediately to find the sleeping great herald! We must find and awaken him before the Tribunal arrives!"
"But..." "This is an order!!!"
"Yes."
Although Requiem is a completely unfamiliar planet to the Covenant, the Forerunner technology that the Covenant has studied for so many years is not in vain. Although it took some work, the Covenant found the location where the great forerunner slumbered. After learning about this incident, the Prophet of Truth and the Prophet of Mercy also led the elite troops of the Star Alliance directly into the core area.
They can't wait to wake up the forerunner. Only in this way can they stop the threat of the Tribunal!
Although he had already expected it, when he actually came to the core area and saw the huge black ball sleeping in the deepest part of the Requiem Star, the Prophet of Truth couldn't help but feel excited.
"Ah...the great pioneer..."
It stretched out its hands tremblingly and looked at the black ball in front of it. As if sensing the arrival of the Star Alliance, the black ball slowly began to show cracks, and then, under a shock wave, the black ball suddenly split apart. Then, a small suspended platform slowly emerged from the black ball, and on this platform, a figure knelt - this was the last remaining remnant of the Forerunners, the missionary.
It has limbs and body similar to humans, only its head looks like a noseless monster, and its hair stands up like a hedgehog. The figure stood up slowly, and then, the metal armor automatically appeared from behind it, completely wrapping the figure in front of it in the blink of an eye.
"It's so long..."
The Didact looked at his body, then turned his head. Sensing his gaze, the Covenant soldiers fell to their knees. Even the two prophets were no exception, and the missionary came to them and looked down on them.
"Honorable great pioneer..."
Feeling the missionary's gaze, the Prophet of Truth trembled. He raised his hands and looked at the missionary.
"Please guide the path of the Star Alliance and take us on a pilgrimage... Only you can eliminate all obstacles and threats that stand in front of our clan... Only you can guide our future... …………!”
However, at this moment, a deep voice sounded.
"No, you have no future!"
Immediately afterwards, a black shadow fell from the sky and landed heavily in front of them!
"Boom!!!"
The missionary, the prophet of truth and others turned around and saw that not far in front of them, a giant in dark armor holding a thundering war hammer strode out of the dust, and saw the war hammer on the armor and the With the symbol of the skull, a cold light suddenly appeared in the missionary's eyes.
"You are..."
"The lowly aliens and the despicable traitors are all here."
Duanmu Huai held the thunder hammer in his hand and stared coldly at the missionary, the prophet of truth and the prophet of mercy.
"I've been waiting for this moment, alien bastard. You have to pay for everything you did to humanity when you destroyed the Imperial fleet. And you..."
As Duanmuhuai spoke, he looked at the prophet of truth.
"Dirty and ugly traitors are no exception. Your home will be burned, your descendants will die painfully in the wrath of the Tribunal, their souls will be completely wiped out in the furnace, and your civilization will also be destroyed. So much. This is the betrayal given by the Inquisition. The Star Alliance is finished, and as the judge, I will kill the existence you worship as a god in front of you, so that you can witness your own insignificance and powerlessness, as well as the faith you worship in the abyss of despair. The ultimate destruction!”
“Interesting…………”
Looking at Duanmu Huai, the missionary's eyes flashed with anger.
"I didn't expect that there are still remnants alive."
"Remnants? Despicable aliens, watch your tone. Low-level creatures like you with obscene and sunken faces and wearing stinky toy-like armor are not qualified to speak to the inquisitor like this."
Duanmu Huai raised his war hammer and pointed it at the missionary.
"What you defeated was just a fleet of the empire, but what you did still angered the Tribunal. I came here just to conduct a trial - the dirty civilization and history of your family have also been destroyed. It will be completely destroyed and become an indescribable dust in history, disappearing into this sea of stars forever!”
"Then it depends on whether you have this ability! Human being!!"
The missionary roared angrily and suddenly stretched out his hand to aim at Duanmuhuai. The next moment, an invisible wave of power erupted and rushed directly towards him.
"Prepare to be judged!"
Faced with the missionary's attack, Duanmu Huai refused to dodge. He roared angrily, gripped his war hammer and suddenly took a step forward. The next moment, a burst of spiritual energy emerged from his feet, directly colliding with the missionary's energy attack. The collision hit together.
"In the name of the Inquisition, I will completely destroy you!!"
With the roar, Duanmu Huai raised his thunder hammer and smashed it directly at the missionary!
