Hear the words.
Saum no longer hesitated, but carefully examined the Plasma Rifle in his hand.
A few seconds later, Saum turned around and said to the elites watching, "There is no problem with the gun, everything is normal."
"Very good." After hearing Serena's translation, William crossed his arms on his chest, looked at Athena who was standing not far away, and said to Saum:
"Then General Saum, it's time to confirm whether our Goddess is a 'god'."
"Okay." Saum responded immediately, and raised the Plasma Rifle in his hand, aiming the gun at Athena.
"Boohoo!"
The blue plasma group made a unique sound and roared towards Athena.
And...
Athena just stood there with her hands on her hips, not avoiding the plasma ball attacking her at all.
Then the plasma ball not only hit Athena's golden armor, but also hit her exposed skin, even her face and hair.
But Athena did not suffer any substantial damage at all, her skin was not burned, and even her armor did not leave any scars.
"Ouch~!"
"Ouch~..."
After seeing the scene in front of them, the elites present roared in surprise, sighing at the 'divinity' of Athena.
The elites who are the main users naturally understand the power of Plasma Rifle best.
Just now, Saum fired nearly thirty plasma balls continuously, and it was not until Plasma Rifle overheated that it stopped shooting.
Thirty plasma balls can completely make the elites' armor lose Energy Barrier, and kill a veteran elite with extraordinary physical fitness.
But Athena took down thirty plasma balls without even moving. Even if it was some kind of ultra-high-tech defense, it was far superior to that of the Covenant.
Coupled with the transformation and Colossal Transformation she showed before, all these are enough to represent that she is indeed a 'Goddess'.
"Ouch..." Looking at Athena who was still smiling, Saum couldn't help but growl.
Then the elite commander turned around, walked slowly towards Karl who was standing aside, and returned the Plasma Rifle in his hand to him.
Immediately afterwards.
Saum walked slowly to William again, and said with obvious respect in his tone, "Russell.
The facts before us now mean that your Goddess is indeed a descendant of Ancient Humans.
Furthermore, based on the content of the ruins on your home planet, it can also represent that the gods we admire have indeed had Interstellar War with your ancestors, and they also fought against the Flood together.
So what the Prophet said about the pilgrimage..."
"That's right." William also put away his fake smile that didn't look like a fake smile, and said with a solemn expression:
"Prophet Clan was once an ally of Ancient Humans. I do not deny that Prophet Clan was wise, knowledgeable and philanthropic.
But now Prophet Clan is extremely ignorant. He regards Superweapon's 'halo' that purifies the Flood as a sacred object, and is planning to activate the halo to make a pilgrimage.
Because only by shaping the forerunners into gods and treating the activation of the halo as a pilgrimage can the power of their prophets be stabilized."
After seeing the divinity displayed by Athena with his own eyes, and having the doubts that had been in his mind for many years answered, Saum also agreed with William's point of view:
"I don't deny this. The prophets did a lot of dirty things in order to consolidate their power, and they also glorified it as being for gods.
However, the prophet's status is inseparable from our Sangheili Clan.
Without our absolute strength, which can crush all voices of resistance, the prophets would have long lost their current power."
"Haha." At this time, William chuckled and said:
"That's not necessarily the case now. You have to know that Kilhani Tribe is no weaker than your elites in terms of combat capabilities, skills, and numbers.
Moreover, Kilhani Tribe also has a characteristic that is superior to you Sangheili people."
"Kilhani Tribe?"
Saum was stunned for a moment, but soon, the elite revealed his disgust and anger that could not be concealed, and said:
"How could those Jiralhanae beasts that look like savages have stronger characteristics than our Sangheili?! This is impossible!"
"Be patient." William waved his hand gently, and after Saum was no longer excited, he explained:
"General Saum, you have to know that we humans can say some ironic things to satirize something.
The 'advantages' I say about those Jiralhanae beasts are actually that they are more ignorant and old-fashioned."
"You humans are really troublesome." After hearing William's words, Saum couldn't help but complain, and said angrily:
"Also, why are you saying more? Are you comparing us Sangheili?"
"Haha..." William just laughed to cover it up, and then continued:
"I think the number of Jiralhanae must be greater than the number of you Sangheili, and Jiralhanae cannot join the council.
After all, only you Sangheili Clan can participate in the parliament, and only you Sangheili have many privileges, such as building your own warships and having control of the entire fleet, right?"
"That's right." Saum was still a little confused and said, "So?"
"So you have always been a thorn in the Prophet Clan's side, uh... I mean I have always been afraid of you.
Because your clan is so powerful, you share the power to rule the entire Star Alliance, which makes Prophet Clan extremely dissatisfied.
Since I can't find a replacement for your race for the time being, I have been holding back and showing my trust in your race on the surface.
Just think about it, we can't let weak races like the Grunts and Gnoll act as the guardians of their prophets."
"..."
Saum didn't say anything, but the expression on his face told William that he still didn't understand.
'Why are you so tired talking to elites...' William also complained in his heart, and then said straightforwardly:
"General Saum, what I mean is that the prophet has found a replacement for your family, which is the more ignorant and loyal Jiralhanae. Do you understand?"
At this time, Saum did not raise his head to the sky and scream loudly as William expected. Instead, he said extremely calmly:
"Got it."
??
Now it was William who looked confused and said, "You... really understand?"
"Of course." Saum said with an extremely rare calm attitude:
"We Sangheili Clan are indeed martial, and indeed very rigid... ignorant, but this does not mean that we are complete fools.
All the races that joined the Star Alliance have had conflicts with us Sangheili, but every time the Prophet will stand firmly on our side.
After the Jiralhanae joined, instead of stopping the conflict between us, the Prophet chose to ignore it.
Even in my eyes, the prophets deliberately intensified the conflict and raised the level of hatred and hostility between us and the Jiralhanae.
After your enlightenment, everything the prophet did has an explanation.
Ouch!!!"
Having said this, Saum finally couldn't bear it and started to scream, turned around and looked at the elite subordinates around him, and shouted loudly:
"Brothers!! The prophet has been lying to us!!! Ouch!"
