Everything went as we've predicted it to be, humanity were very much eager to meet me, especially the ISC considering of my status and influence through their entire history which my aegises shaped.

The nodes I have built did granted them a lot of benefits and blessing that made them a prosperous civilization for many millenias since their reseeding which I'd altered to change each species own fate, that resulted to become what it is... now.

The future was much brighter than they originally were in the canon timeline I've screwed up to change the fate of the UNSC and the covenant who were in the brink of collapse since the ISC joined in.

Humanity was already difficult do to the advances they possess which made them evenly matched against their more numerically superior foe the covenant, who's only advantage was their number.

Being much bigger humanity but they to have their own downside despite their numerical numbers, one of those being the caste system they still follow, second was their preferences for close combat.

Which made them easy target in battle... due to their own code of honor, I would have applaud them to fight in such a fashion had it not been for the stupidity for doing so in an unsuitable... situation.

Mankind may have their own honor but that doesn't matter to them them it comes to protecting their people that is what matters most rather honor which isn't it worth it when you lose someone.

It's just a patch to cover your wound... it cannot satisfy you forever, besides does honor really matter? If the ones you've love most are in trouble which will you? The so called honor or... those you love?

Had I not had the hindsight to save their people even during the war, they population would have decreased by a few percent said few percents would be in the billions if you combined them all.

Yeah many lives fought for the covenant and the false belief that the prophets had made up, their empire is already on the verge of collapsing and one last push would see it destroyed... or at least broke apart into various newer nations.

Some of which need to be corrected just so they won't make another covenant and continue to worship the Forerunner as gods, I have tasked my Aegises to this task later to make sure that these new nations won't become like the Covenant.

Thats the last thing I want after ending a long fabricated belief that the covenant or more specifically it's founders which were the San'Shyuum that required less softer policy to correct their own specie.

They were the cause of this entire mess, so it was only fitting that they would be taught a lesson or at least those guilty in working with their Prophets, given their low birth rate and population they are the least problem... that I'll be worrying.

But both the ISC and UEG would be able to take care of the resulting mess of the covenant after we dealt with their major issues that would have I'll effects on the long run, the lesser ones are short term.

The coalition could deal with them and I am sure they will, since they to would not be interested to let remnant of the covenant to run around causing trouble or even create another second covenant.

Given the impression they've showed to the UEG and ISC who were none to happy of fighting religious nations with zealot soldiers blindly following people who are no different to insane dictators.

So I'm sure they won't tolerate that and will do their best effort to prevent that from ever happening, even without me needing to predict the outcome the result of the war had showed its effects, the Covenant wouldn't rise up anymore.
