"Haha."

Seeing Serena's angry look on the screen, William couldn't help laughing, and said with an indifferent expression:

"I'm fine, but seeing you look anxious makes me feel much happier."

"Mainly because I'm the same Artificial Intelligence, and that Sorrowful Solitude made me very disgusted. In addition, I was worried about your safety, boss, so I couldn't hold back my temper...

I'm sorry, boss." Serena said apologetically.

"There is nothing to be sorry for." William still showed an indifferent expression and said:

"Seeing us disappear suddenly, that guy Ivan will definitely take action. Besides, Megan and Cortana are also capable of locking our position. It won't take long to get support from the troops.

Since we don't know about Sorrowful Solitude yet, we humans already know the purpose of the halo, and we are willing to guide me to get the indexer. Wouldn't this allow us to achieve the goal of controlling Craftworld?

Haha.

By the way Serena, if you have the permissions given by the indexer, you will have control over the entire Craftworld...

Then can you kill Sorrowful Solitude?"

"Hmm..." Serena thought for a moment with a solemn face and said without giving an accurate answer, "I'm not 100% sure."

"Can't it be 100%?" William also put away his smile and pondered.

He was afraid that Serena and Sorrowful Solitude would directly confront each other, and Serena's program would be seriously damaged. In order to destroy a leader, he would put his woman's life in danger...

"As for Serena, just use the permissions given by the indexer to copy the information on how to build Craftworld and the locations of all the halos in Milky Way Galaxy.

If Sorrowful Solitude continues to be dishonest, we will withdraw Craftworld and use all the Quantum Bomb on Star Killer to blow up Craftworld." William said firmly.

It is dangerous to directly attack Sorrowful Solitude, and it is impossible for William to leave Serena alone in danger, so the best solution is to blow up the entire Craftworld.

Once and for all.

Anyway, Craftworld has been contaminated by the Flood.

As for Serena, she certainly knew that William acted like this because she was worried that her program would suffer fatal damage. She also showed a slight blush on the screen and said:

"Yes, boss."

"Yeah." William just responded lightly, and after seeing the wave of Flood demons gathering into an army again through the screen, he lowered his voice and said:

"Before that, the first thing we have to do is to fight a bloody path, Serena, help me control Floating Gun."

"Yes."

As the two talked, the four foldable Floating Gun hanging on the left side of Power Armor's back instantly separated from Power Armor with a "click" sound.

Expand.

With a long strip of 'concave' characters, four Floating Gun were aligned with four Combat Body flood demons, and then...

"Wha~--!"

"Hey~!"

Four pink Particle Beam shot straight through four Combat Body Flood Demons.

The flood demons that could be subjected to the penetrating attack would only be stopped a little by this, and it would not cause much harm to them at all.

But this is enough.

After all, Serena's job is to contain it, and the real 'output' depends on William.

"Buzz~! Bah~! Puff~! Bang~!"

Accompanied by the special sound effects when Beam Saber was waved, the metal corridors resounded with the sounds of carrion being cut and burned, as well as the noise similar to the explosion of a balloon.

Just look at Sorrowful Solitude flying in the sky, guiding William towards the area where the indexer is stored, while William is holding Beam Saber and activated the 'unparalleled' among the flood demon insects.

Coupled with the four-pole Floating Gun controlled by Serena to contain the rear, the Flood Demon was unable to surround William.

But Serena seemed to have discovered something abnormal about Flood. She frowned on the screen, as if thinking about what kind of abnormality it was.

After a few seconds.

Serena still had a frown on his face, and using Neural Link, he said to William, "Boss, I feel that something is not normal about Flood."

"Buzz!"

"Hey!"

After William dealt with another Combat Body transformed from a Jiralhanae, he focused on another Combat Body that was attacking him, and said hurriedly:

"What's not normal?"

Saying that, William dodged the whipping of the Combat Body, and then kicked the Combat Body into pieces.

Serena on the screen expressed her guess. "Boss, these flood demons are only fighting you at close range, and they did not use the weapons that the host had when he was alive. This is not normal.

Although Flood's Combat Form cannot skillfully use thermal weapons, it can at least launch a barrage attack on you, the boss, thus consuming your Energy Shield.

But they didn't do that.

Based on the situation of the battle between Young Master Ivan and the Flood fleet, I think the Flood is deliberately... deliberately releasing water."

?

William, who had just rushed out of the metal corridor and came to another open platform, was stunned, and his current feelings were also reflected back to Serena.

Sensing William's doubts, Serena continued, "And boss, why did Flood know that this area has an indexer when it came up?

Until now, the percentage of Craftworld infected by the Flood is still between five and six, but this area has been completely contaminated by the Flood."

"Huh?" William, who was in the middle of the battle, also let out a confused sound.

Indeed.

Flood's Combat Form can use various thermal weapons, which can effectively destroy Energy Shield.

William also saw many Combat Body transformed from Jiralhanae. Even though they held their original weapons in their left hands, they still chose to use the giant whip in their right hand for melee attacks.

There is something fishy.

"Boss..." Serena said her guess at this time, "I think Gravemind, who has already matured, seems to hope that we can get the indexer."

"Really? It seems that all Gravemind are hard to figure out." William also sighed.

He added, "The Flood can fully control this area. It seems that Gravemind is also very likely to be near the indexer."

"Yeah." Serena also did not deny it.

"The ship will naturally be straight when it reaches the bridge. Just adapt to the situation, Serena, and focus on blocking those Combat Body that are farther away."

"Yes, boss."

The boss and secretary no longer struggled with the weirdness of the Flood. Instead, they cooperated with each other to break through the Flood blockade and followed Sorrowful Solitude, who had been humming a little tune, to the area where the indexer was stored.

.

Soon after.

William followed Sorrowful Solitude and finally came to an area that was surrounded by cyan-blue light, like a metal palace.

But in the center of this metal palace is a bottomless, dark hole.

And the 'T'-shaped indexer, which emits a faint green light, is suspended above the central hole of the metal palace, waiting for others to remove it.
