Thanks to my stupidity of the meaning 'Defied' i have changed my post
Well, everybody knows what Cortana said, so yeah.
Defied can mean, 'refused to co-operate', 'to dare someone' or 'to be unaffected by', so in the first line Cortana could be saying, 'I have refused to co-operate with the Good and the Bad Side'. Then i noticed she is talking on Past Tense... so Cortana could have not co-operated with MC... if that makes sense or during the game the bad side tried to take over her and the good side wants her... but she didn't care. And defied can mean 'challenge', so she could've challenge both sides.

Cortana or Gravemind or both could've meant many things in the first line

"You must face the truth squarely and without flinching from duty. Our enemies are mortal no longer. Mercy for such as they is a chimera, self-deception is its only ally. Dedicate this weapon, given unto your hand at the behest of the Emperor, to their destruction. Regard its function as your only duty: you live only to bring cleansing fire."

how does defied mean obeyed?

defied means that someone defied orders or defied their duty meaning they refused.

obeyed is the opposite

This apple is brown, and rotten. This orange on the other hand, is in relatively average shape. So the orange is definitely the preferable option.
----------You can't compare apples and oranges. You're so dumb.

Actually defied is the opposite of obeyed...It means she fought them or resisted them..Also how does gods and demons mean good or bad side? It means she fought and resisted GODS and DEMONS. You can analyze it all you want but your complicating the simple.

I think that line was Gravemind talking. Through Cortanan. Only that line though. I don't see Gravemind as Chief's Sword and Shield lol.

Cortana stops speaking at the "and demons" part of her speach. What she says is "I have defied Gods" and then the voice gets all deep: "and demons"

This is all well and good, but Threads of Interest has a list of threads you can post in. Please look through those before you make your own.

Do you feel what I feel, see what I see, hear what I hear?
There is a line you must draw between your dream world and reality

you people overanalyze everything! You should probably be on CSI or some -blam!-

Her speech is sposed to be cryptic to get the fans poking and prodding (which it did). And to add drama. I mean it wouldnt sound too dramatic if Cortana lines were like this:

"Hi Chief, i like defied gods and demons and junk.''
"You wanna shield or sword maybe? im one in case k?
"I remember you! your that guy who got drunk at last years christmas party! Your past is like wierd and stuff, your future is gonna like suck and stuff''
''Oh i think the world is going to end this way or something"
