The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

"Of course," recalling the beginning, the think tank chief showed a sad expression on his face, "making this choice means that although we can resist the attack of the star devourers, we will abandon tens of billions of lives in the nightmare brought by the flood. This is tantamount to letting the forerunners, including the whole world, die... However, if we don’t do this, the dead will not only be tens of billions of lives, nor will there be only one world.”

"The missionary couldn't accept this result. He firmly believed that the grand planner was bewitched by the messenger of chaos, because it would obviously destroy our civilization." She paused for a moment and continued, "He had become quite extreme at that time, His mood was no longer as calm as before, and under the influence of rage, he attacked the messenger on the spot."

"This..." Liu Lizi showed a helpless expression on his face.Just hearing such a description, everyone can already imagine the confusion at that time "Is he defeated?"

The fighting power of the big demons at that time was not much different from the current ones, but there were no free big demons in those days.So the missionary was definitely a very powerful guy at the time, because the basic strength of the subspace demon is here. From the previous description, I am afraid that the troops who went to contact at that time were Khorne's troops. If the big devil initiates a challenge, the result will definitely be that at least one head will be sent to the Brass Throne.

The missionary has survived until now, so he is definitely not the one who was sent, but Oregana, who tested it herself, said that this guy can't even suppress himself quickly in a face-to-face confrontation, and use his head to beat a normal Khorne lord ?

The think tank chief replied:

"The messenger didn't fight back..."

"what?!"

"He thought that if he fought back, he might disintegrate this fragile alliance that had just been formed. So he ordered his entourage not to take a step forward, and greeted the missionary's attack with open arms and chest. He said... It is not a disgrace to be expelled from the material world for 1000 years for this reason, but an honor. If this can be exchanged for the help of the forerunners, then there will be countless worlds that will have the chance to survive." Speaking of which, her expression It's very complicated. "This is something I really didn't expect. The messenger is usually a violent and irritable person. He carries terrible torture instruments and corpse fragments with him. He looks crazy and savage, but at this time he is extremely calm."

Who was the Great Demon of Khorne who went here to contact at that time?Oregana couldn't figure it out. Of course, he might have been exhausted in the long years:

"Then the missionaries... agreed?"

"How is it possible..." The chief think tank shook his head, and said bitterly, "Because of that reckless action, the missionary violated many laws and was eventually exiled. And the grand planner took other troops to the battlefield he chose for himself... …but years later, exiled missionaries sent the signal.”

"What signal?"

"The prison ship that exiled him was approaching a planet called Uthera Midgeerrd, which was the intended route. But that place had been occupied by the Flood in a previous invasion, and he observed a The active star devourers—this army has a strong retrospective ability, they can locate planets with intelligent creatures in the warp at an extremely fast speed, and then devour them in the past." She waved her hands, Open an image screen "They have reached a certain kind of cooperation. In the galaxies occupied by them, even if there are no infected battleships, the flood can rely on the space operation of the star devourer to move between galaxies. The star devourer uses planetary itself to proliferate, and the Flood devours the creatures on the planet to increase its power."

On the screen is what was photographed at the beginning - the star devourer is a mothership-level dark worm at first glance.But different from the common individuals nowadays, this dark worm has a large number of giant asteroids floating around its body. It uses psionic energy and biological force field to control these objects to suspend around itself, wrapping them with biomass, Numerous flood demons entrenched on it, and the two sides formed a disgusting symbiosis.This makes it appear to be a full circle larger than a normal Mothership class.

"At that time, the scale of this combination was not large, but it had revealed enough threatening atmosphere." The chief think tank said, "Whether the Star Devourer obtained the ability of the Flood, or the Flood obtained the technology of the Star Devourer, the result They would all be very scary—in fact, this already explained the phenomenon that the Flood's attack speed had increased dramatically since a while ago, because they gained the ability to sniff thoughts and emotions from the back of the world. "

"The Flood Demon has this characteristic until today, so it was left at that time." 76 rubbed his chin, thinking about it and said, "But their cooperation seems to have come to an end here? Didn't it continue to deepen?"

"I guess, maybe the two sides finally compromised like that after going through a confrontation that we don't know? The Flood has no way to swallow the Star Devourer, and the Star Devourer has nothing to do with the Flood. Because at that time, after the battle Afterwards, we failed to recover the wreckage of the star devourer enough to study anything. Afterwards, the Flood showed some characteristics of the star devourer, but not many." Speaking of this, the think tank chief paused for a moment, Pulled the topic back "After we cleaned up that galaxy, we brought the missionary back. The situation he discovered and his decisive handling allowed a huge crisis to be resolved before it broke out. This huge credit made him commit His crimes were cleared, which allowed him to return to the army."

"It's just... the him at this time is no longer what he used to be."

Because it's a trap from start to finish.

Didact was captured long before sending the signal, where he encountered the Gravemind, the Primordia he had seen before.Gravemind's erosion of the missionary's mind engraved a deep curse in the missionary's consciousness—the missionary, who had already gradually become extreme and was trapped by demons, fell into madness not long after.

The erosion of the Gravemind Beast is very ingenious. It does not implant a piece of thought, or use some kind of parasite to control the missionary, because with the technology of the forerunner, as long as it does this, it will be caught and disinfected immediately.So it doesn't make the missionary 'one of his own', it keeps him hating himself, and deepens that intense hatred.

In the current environment, although the pioneers were at a disadvantage, the Flood Demon had no way to deal a decisive blow quickly.So it sent back a living, accomplished, greatest, but mentally insane, unaware Forerunner warrior back among his brethren.After searching for an immune formula against the Zerg to no avail, the missionaries turned to using the reorganization machine to reorganize human beings and other life to fight against the Zerg.

This trick is not as simple as it seems.

The reason why the pioneers can continue to fight is not only because they just want to survive, but also because they have inherited the 'mantle' and have the responsibility of 'protecting all living beings'.When the missionary came up, he fired a reorganization machine and sucked away a large wave of humans hidden by the head of the think tank. Although this increased the combat effectiveness, it caused a terrible commotion in the pioneer society.

His behavior clearly betrayed the mantle, but he brought victory.This caused the forerunner to be divided into three factions, one faction believed that the missionary was an unforgivable blasphemer, his victory was only temporary, and what was destroyed was the foundation of the forerunner; the other believed that the missionary made the right choice, if If you do this earlier, the pioneers will not be pushed to such a point. Blind faith in the mantle will only bring about your own extinction, and the grand planner who took a large fleet to protect other worlds is an incompetent fool. He is the forerunner who has developed for countless generations. The worst sinner of all.

And more people fell into confusion, especially those martial servants who believed in the mantle.Among the warrior attendants, there were several completely different interpretations of the mantle, and the resulting confusion brought endless consequences.On the other side, the prejudiced monk of Supa AI, who was washed into his own by the corpse brain beast's mouth cannon, launched an attack at this time.

This AI brought back with ring 07, controlled many of the guide AIs present, and launched a surprise attack on the forerunners.Relying on the authority of 25 Aberdeen itself, it successfully controlled the five large rings, claiming to cooperate with the Zerg to eliminate the Forerunner.The pioneers rushed the remaining seven rings into the ark from the portal in the capital circle, but at this moment, a large number of star devourers suddenly broke in and destroyed the portal. Only one large ring arrived before the portal collapsed.

After suffering great casualties, the Nova Missionary, a forerunner who received the Missionary Personality Seal (the backup before going mad), used the control code to expel the Prejudice Monk, and the severely damaged and unstable No. 07 The large ring was reduced to a small ring and then sent to the big ark, and the capital defense system was used to turn the tide and annihilate the incoming star eaters.Then tortured the ancient ghouls on the 07 ring belt, and finally successfully used the decay technology to extend the space-time environment around the primordium to span tens of billions of years in a short period of time, finally causing the seemingly indestructible ancient ghouls to collapse in entropy die in.

However, the destruction of the Gravemind does not mean that the Flood was also eliminated. The Prejudice Monk was only forced to retreat rather than destroyed. It later led the Flood army to make a comeback, manipulating an army composed of millions of powerful warships, Attacking the Ark with unstoppable strength, even the pioneer's holy site - Star Road also invaded the main core strategic location of the forerunner, its power almost crushed everything, and quickly invalidated the armed forces of the forerunner.

At this time, the think tank chief is indexing species on the earth and closing the portal leading to the ark, while the Zerg are aggressively attacking the earth, hoping to invade the portal and destroy the only remaining ark to prevent the forerunners from "perishing together".

In the end, everything stops.The grand planner who went to the border of the world never returned to his hometown. The whereabouts of the new star missionary are unknown. He may die in the final battle, or he may see through the world, put down his mantle, and leave this sad place forever, and the rest of the world. A small group of pioneers took off their combat skins together, found a planet and lived a life of slash-and-burn farming, and no longer lived in the world.The true missionary was sealed away for 1 years, while the Chief Librarian watched the light that enveloped the entire sky from the summit of Kilimanjaro when the halo was activated.

Be it the Flood Demon or the Star Devourers who invaded this world, they were all reduced to ashes in that ray of light.The surviving creatures were all sealed off with their spiritual senses, in order to prevent the Flood from being discovered immediately after it revived one day.Since then, the universe in which intelligent life has been wiped out can no longer cause the response of the subspace, and the subspace here has gradually become calm, like a piece of stagnant water before the birth of life.In the long years, almost everyone has forgotten this place. Only those lives saved in the ark have walked out of the wilderness again, and stood up again in a daze. This journey has been 10 years.

"The important task of protecting life in the galaxy is the core will of our race, but in the end we have to slaughter all life in the galaxy with our own hands. This kind of great irony and pain may be the punishment thrown to us by the pioneers..." In the long After the explanation, the chief think tank ended with this sentence. She showed a bitter smile and said, "It's good to see you all, at least...we haven't lost everything. Someone will remember this history in the future."

It is said that a person dies three times.Once is physical death, which means death in the biological sense; once is a funeral, which means that the person has died in society; the third time is forgotten by people, until this time, he is really dead .

And so is a civilization.When the last ruler falls, the society falls apart, the last tribe perishes, and the last relic falls, as long as someone remembers it, its brilliance will still exist in the world.People will praise it, criticize it, talk about it, and it will continue to exist in history classes, exam papers, and people's word-of-mouth conversations after dinner.From then on, people will remember the merits and demerits of the forerunners, unlike the civilizations that built the scattered buildings and floating islands in hell-they are really dead.

"I understand." Oregana nodded solemnly, and said seriously, "We will tell you the current situation of the Sanctuary World Group—this is also the achievement of Hongtu Jiang."

"In fact, I already know. 10 years have passed, humans still exist, the Sangheili people still exist, and the San'Shium people should still be there, right? If it failed at the beginning, I wouldn't be here to witness all this. "The chief think tank smiled slightly, "However, I still have something to tell you. This was something that I wanted to tell the messenger at the time, but because of the situation, we had no way to spread the information at that time. Although it may be so A long time has passed, and the information is somewhat outdated, but I hope you can still investigate."

"Oh? What is it?"

"When the Star Devourers invaded the Forerunner First galaxy, they came through the star road. They should have been impossible to pass through this. So we recorded the space galaxies at that time, as well as the change mode of the star road." She said , sent a huge data packet "If possible, I hope you can replace the pioneers to find out all this..."

Chapter 1086 Chapter 119: 2553, the end of the war

The conversation with the Chief Librarian was successfully concluded.In the end, Oregana explained to the chief think tank that she hated the act of eating out of households, and would not take away the inheritance that originally belonged to mankind.The chief think tank expressed his gratitude for this, and at the same time explained that this is a wise decision, and made a suggestion——

The think tank chief believes that the time for human inheritance needs to be delayed.

According to her own calculations, when humans got the relics of the forerunners, their own technology had already developed to the point where they could control these super powerful devices.

In the end, various facts showed that the chief think tank's plan didn't work out... This was a miscalculation.And the key parameter that was miscalculated was Dayo, the Supa AI prejudiced monk who was overthrown by the corpse brain beast.

After the war, the prejudiced monk's personality structure array was buried under a desert in the ark, and there was only one belief left in its broken heart, that is, redemption.Then the problem came - it wanted to drive a holy key ship to atone for sin by helping mankind, but this guy should have said, "This is the forerunner holy key ship, it won't turn over!" 'It was overturned, and hit the home planet of the San Sim with his head, completing the technical acceleration of the San Sim.

The technology-accelerated San'Shium used this holy key ship to subdue the San Heli and established the Star Alliance. While their own technology was stuck, they almost killed the humans that the prejudiced monk wanted to help. Running with the boat and overturning the car again, the result became what it is now.It can be said that since the defeat of ancient humans, several major turning points in this world have all come from the overturning of the monk of prejudice-no matter whose side it is on.

It's amazing to be able to make it like this... (Yuanmu)

The result is that now humans can't even manage their own colonies well. If they get all the inheritance of the forerunners immediately, they have a high probability of allowing themselves to go empty-handed to tame wild animals for the third time in history—and if they really No one can stop human beings from self-destruction.Therefore, the think tank chief hopes that human beings can move forward step by step, and slowly study the remains of the forerunners instead of using them just like the Star Alliance did in the past.

One is that human beings really need to study this process. This is not just research and development. The understanding and practical application of new technologies will also drive the progress of society and the progress of people's thinking, which is of great help to the safe use of technology and the growth of civilization.

The two parties have made an agreement that Tartarus will assist humans in their research, and stop and stop it when it is dangerous. This does not conflict with the current agreement between the UNSC and the Ministry of Consolidation.After that, the ancient Forerunner consciousness fragment offered itself a gift—

Bring a guide, such as the 343-sealed Lunar Needle Spark, to the Ark, and it will be able to use the facilities on it to build a ring.Using a ring as a reward for protecting humans and surrendering missionaries is a very cost-effective thing for both parties.

Then--

"……woo woo woo woo?!"

Liu Lizi strangled her boss's neck from behind, put her down on the ground, covered her mouth to keep her from making a sound—she had detected the boss' emotional reaction to the ring belt, and it was like a Same as XP.This guy doesn't like this kind of belt, so now she has to prevent her sudden slip of the tongue.

"Eh? Are you not satisfied with this?" The chief think tank looked blankly at the two of them falling behind the table like this, making a slapping sound, "And this is...??"

"Satisfied! Very satisfied!"

"Don't worry about them! Khorne's God's Chosen is like this! They often start fighting suddenly."

"...It seems to be like this. It's really nostalgic. It seems that there are many things that have not changed even after 10 years."

"No... that's right! That's it!"

"How does it work?"

"Does that probe have a key or something?"

During the few seconds when Oregana was suppressed, the people next to her quickly completed the deal with the chief think tank.

"Then, I'll leave it to you all. I'll wait here forever." She nodded slightly, and disappeared into the air as a light spot. "I hope you can overcome any ups and downs."

(struggle)

(struggling)

After the chief think tank's communication was cut off, Oregana finally broke free from Liu Lizi's suppression, grabbed the leopard's ear and rubbed it vigorously, with an expression like a ghost:

"Where did you get the leopard guts!"

"I'm the guts of a leopard!" (Struggling)

"32, calm down." Behind Ling made a comforting gesture, but he didn't step forward to stop it, but watched Oregana punishing his subordinates with great interest, "This thing is not for you to use as a planetary ring."

"Then... if you want to use it as a weapon, you have to find a remote place to store it." She didn't stop scratching the leopard. "Wait, we seem to know how to use this thing..."

Before the four hundred star world was in the swarm control area outside the refuge, where the Consolidation Department faced the largest swarm it had seen so far, and also suffered the biggest loss so far, but at the same time it was established there. Established a stable outpost, which is the necessary basis for going to the coordinates of the place where the suspected swarm was born, and it is also the extension of the power of the Coordination Department outside the world swarm of the refuge, observing the movement of the dark swarm, and investigating the society of the swarm The structure, early warning, and investigation of the surrounding universe are all carried out with this fortress galaxy as the core.

When necessary, even the front-line fleet of the subspace will stop here briefly for replenishment or maintenance.

However, the task of going to that coordinate has not yet been put on the agenda, the most critical reason being the lack of materials.In the outside world, the density of insect swarms is much higher than inside. Although there is more than one result of daring to advance rashly, none of the results that have been speculated so far will not overturn.So the current attitude is, in short, keep this here first, and then consider things later.

If you can transport the halo over there, find a place where there are a lot of bugs, throw the halo over there and blow it up, and then take it back, you can cause huge damage to the dark worms... It sounds very good, but It is still necessary to study the killing mechanism clearly.It would be troublesome if the burst of energy that would be set off in the warp when activated would attract bugs in a large area, and it would almost certainly not be useful against the super mothership class.

Because the super mothership class has no nerve structure, and this kind of powerful semi-energy creature wants to destroy a ring with ease.

However, what the back spirit said is not to be used as a weapon:

"Look, isn't the disinfection work on the wreckage of the 05 ring zone still in progress. They are all real material structures." He explained, "After we have studied the ring zone clearly and figured out the properties of the materials and the engineering structure, Can't those wreckage be directly used as materials?"

"It seems to be the truth! You can also add eight to engineering."

"I think I can add twelve no matter what, after all, it belongs to the forerunner..."

"Well... can you stop rubbing my ears?"

"..." (rubbing)

As a planetary ring, the size of the small ring belt of the Forerunner is still too large. If one of the super weapons is removed, and the width and thickness are slightly reduced, the material consumption can be reduced.If you think about it this way, recycling can use the wreckage, and then dig some mines to make up for it. Wouldn’t it be possible to make the ring you’ve always wanted?

In the case that there is no way to rely on the asteroid belt to accumulate enough minerals, it is also a good way to use the debris to mine.Thinking of this, she turned her head and looked at the starry sky outside. The metal shell of Requiem star reflected the sunlight and looked shining.

The tasks received from the ancients are relatively easy to complete, but the matter is not over yet.

News of this battle has been sent to the UNSC and San Helios through official diplomatic channels.This will be a huge shock to both sides, not only that, some words of the missionary before falling into a severe coma were also recorded - the marines who broke into Jinyu took pictures of that scene.The missionary with a cut in his chest, cursed the humans, called the San'Shim 'swinging conspirators' and the other races as 'those beasts', and was taken away by the medical team.

At the same time, the scene of him appearing from the tomb and entering into a brutal close-range combat with Oregana was also recorded. Many people shot the scenes from the first perspective, and finally combined them into a very shocking image. material.

Human beings read the boundless malice of this forerunner, and a small group of people who knew the truth began to tremble for their actions; the beliefs of the foolish loyalists of the old Star Alliance suffered a sap, because the gods they originally believed in did not take In my own eyes...it's not even a believer, it's just a beast; and the sword of St. Helios didn't have a particularly big reaction, because after being convinced of the prophet's lie, everyone was almost the same. Knowing what beliefs are basically wishful thinking.

But in the end, no matter who they were, everyone realized that there was someone who survived the boxing with the 'God', not to mention, and led the fleet in the next round of battle with an unbelievable loss ratio. To completely defeat them means that even if they have obtained the technology of the Forerunners, there is no way to easily defeat them... You must know that it is useless for the Forerunners who are most familiar with their own equipment to use it themselves, let alone someone else.

Then there is only one conclusion:

Now everyone knows who made the rules.And now they are not hostile to either side, and are willing to communicate, which is the most fortunate thing now.

When Oregana finished the work summary and sorted out the materials, she went to stop...in the intensive care unit. As the core of all this, the last forerunner missionary was still lying motionless on the hospital bed.

"Any response?"

Fulan sat on the chair with her legs crossed, her six arms hanging limply on one side, showing a tired look:
