'Fuck...'
Listening to Halsey's translation, William said in his heart, "F*ck" again.
Because what she said, or the text description engraved on Göbeklitepe, is very similar to the Forerunner-Forerunner War and the Human-Forerunner War in "Halo".
Most importantly, it also mentioned a "flood" sweeping across the entire galaxy.
The literal translation of 'flood' is flood.
Because the Flood was like a flood and was out of control, it was called the Flood, or the Flood, by the forerunners, humans, and many intelligent races.
The Flood is an extremely dangerous Parasitic Lifeform.
They can absorb and assimilate any intelligent creature, such as humans, forerunners, elites, Jiralhanae 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 obtain everything about the creature, including its memories, emotions, and knowledge.
When the infected body grows to a certain extent, the Flood will give birth to a special body on this planet, Gravemind.
Once Gravemind appears, it will mean that there is no room for saving this planet.
The Flood under the command of Gravemind will not infect Intelligent lifeforms just by instinct like wild animals, but will strategically and tactically assimilate the entire planet.
They will Mutual help, and will make selfless sacrifices when necessary to achieve goals that benefit the entire race.
Moreover, as the number of assimilated Intelligent lifeforms increases rapidly, Gravemind's IQ, EQ, knowledge and other aspects will increase exponentially.
This is also the reason why once Gravemind appears, this planet will be declared "death".
Moreover, Halsey also mentioned "brilliance" in the translation just now, and William immediately guessed that the thing must be a "halo".
halo...
From William's point of view, that is a true 'Interstellar-class' weapon, which is several... dozens of orders of magnitude more powerful than the so-called Quantum Bomb, Star Destroyer Cannon, Death Star.
When Halo Array is turned on, the Neutrino Pulse Wave released at the same time will Saturate Coverage the entire Milky Way Galaxy.
Only simple life forms, such as algae, moss, and plants will not be affected, and any other form of life form will be annihilated by 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 life forms and activated their halo to eliminate the threat of the Flood.
When the aftermath of Pulse Wave dissipated, the Forerunner's Autonomous Artificial Intelligence began to work, using the saved intelligent life data to bring Milky Way Galaxy back to life again, just like '3D' printing.
Although the Forerunners have committed many acts of betrayal, at this moment, they are indeed the overlords qualified to be called Milky Way Galaxy.
As for the pioneers...
William doesn't know much about it, mainly because there is 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 Creator in the true sense.
They can walk in the world in various forms, and they can have Flesh and Blood Body similar to their own creations to guide, awaken and teach its ''Children'.
You can also use the form of consciousness and energy to observe the universe in multiple dimensions.
Overall, 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 Original World came into contact with "Halo: CE" in 2006.
It's hard to forget.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have proposed Spartan Program just after seeing Halsey.
.
"Hum..." Halsey, who finished translating the inscription of Stone Pillar, did not notice William's dazed state at all, but continued:
"I originally thought this was some kind of mythological account, just like the ancient Greek mythology, where humans just used exaggerated narrative techniques.
But if it's related to the Star Alliance...
So the content described in Stone Pillar is at least very likely to have actually happened.
William, what do you think."
"Huh? Ah... uh... wait."
William calmed down after hearing Halsey's call, and then began to organize his words, preparing to tell Halsey some 'truths'.
He glanced at Carmen not far away, and after confirming that Carmen was concentrating on commanding the crew, William said to Halsey in a low voice:
"Catherine, what I'm going to tell you next can only exist between you and me, okay?"
?
Halsey was stunned for a moment, but his face quickly returned to its original state, and he smiled at William:
"You have told me so many secrets, have you ever seen me tell others? Well, stop being suspicious and tell me."
"Okay, then..."
Next, William told Halsey about the relationship between the pioneer, the forerunner, and Ancient Humans.
Then came the emergence of the Flood. Humanity barely controlled the Flood's offensive at the expense of the entire race, but its technology was regressed by the Forerunners to the incident of Primitive era.
Then came Superweapon like Halo, and the Covenant treating the Forerunners as gods and humans as blasphemous beings.
Finally, there is the leading race of the Covenant - the Prophets.
The prophet brainwashed all the races of the Covenant and believed that activating the halo was a key step in pilgrimage. Anyway, Key points about the Covenant and the Forerunners were all released.
However, William did not reveal the plot of the game "Halo", but only let Halsey understand the characteristics of these races and the connections between them.
"..."
After listening to the truth told by William, Halsey fell silent with a serious face, as if he was deep in thought.
She would never doubt the authenticity of what William said, so she had already made a conscious choice to believe it and kept all the secrets for William.
A few seconds passed.
"Huh..." Halsey took a breath, looked up at William and said:
"In line with what you just said, I can explain many abnormal phenomena."
"Oh? How do you say that?" William asked.
Halsey turned to look at the holographic screen, focused his eyes on the inscription on Göbeklitepe, and said softly to William:
"According to the content recorded on the stone circle, it is proved that we humans were once an extremely developed civilization. This also explains why there is a civilization blank period of Hundreds of thousands of years in the history of mankind.
As for Zeus, Poseidon, Hades and other legendary gods, there are also God-class Anomaly that we think of, such as Anubis...
It may also be the Super Ancient Humans who escaped the downgrade blow of the Forerunners, or the descendants of those Super Ancient Humans.
In short, the "abnormality" they displayed is actually not much different from what I speculated. It is just the technology and weapons of the Super ancient era.
These 'gods' have the genetic technology of the Super ancient era to change their own structure, and can combine with each other or with ordinary humans to give birth to offspring.
But in the end, due to the small number of people and internal fighting, they eventually fell into the long river of history."
