Chapter 425 - The Scheme Behind the Scheme
“Impossible. How can the power of God repel me!”
The Dwarf in the Flask stood motionless while the five humans attacked him.
“Don’t stop. Attack him. He doesn’t have the Philosopher’s Stone from the people of Amestris, and he only has the Xerxes country’s souls.”
Although Van Hohenheim said something weird, Edward understood that the Dwarf in the Flask only has the energy from before the transmutation circle was activated.
Now, since he has the power of God, his Philosopher’s stone is being drained of energy.
He couldn’t even move, let alone attack.
Bang! Bang!
The Five Human sacrifices exhausted their energy, but the Dwarf in the Flask was still erect in the same place.
The Dwarf in the Flask can’t move, but he can still suppress the power of God from escaping his body.
This is the same as those people in novels that cultivate for a long time to try and ascend only to find out later, and they can’t because their cultivation was insufficient.
Edward and the others continued to attack as the Philosopher’s Stone of the Dwarf in the Flask was being drained quickly.
After several minutes, Edward’s hands met the ground as he created thorns to penetrate the Dwarf in the Flask.
The Dwarf evaded sideways, and his expression was quite fierce as he glared at Hohenheim.
“Why did you prevent my ascension, even when I’m God, I didn’t think of killing you. We’re blood-related.”
When the Dwarf first used the transmutation circle, he put half of the Philosopher’s Stone into Hohenheim’s body to make him an immortal.
“Blood relation? No, your existence is wrong.”
Hearing Hohenheim’s words, the Dwarf in the Flask’s eyes were filled with killing intent.
At this time, the Dwarf’s emotions were restored.
Suddenly, the Dwarf was bound by a metal wire, and with all of his energy suppressing the power of God, he could not use any ability.
He stretched his arms outward, and the metal wire broke.
Wouch!
A sword flashed and sent the Dwarf’s head flying while the latter was confused about how a mortal could injure him.
The red electric light flashed on the next of the Dwarf.
“Nice Job!” Edward’s master, Izumi Curtis, clenched her fist and shouted as she saw the head flying in the air.
Su Xiao was hiding for a long time, waiting for an opportunity to move.
After cutting the Dwarf’s head, he rushed toward him again without attacking. Instead, he took out a small bottle.
[Devil’s crystal Bottle]
Quality: N/A
Type: Quest Item
Effect: Collecting the power of God (Fake)
Rate: N/A
Description: N/A
Price: N/A, if lost, the promotion Quest will fail.
…
Su Xiao grasped the Devil’s crystal bottle and inserted it into the Dwarf’s Neck directly, and at this time, the head of the Dwarf was half regenerated.
Suddenly, the Dwarf’s regeneration stopped.
[Power of God (fake). Collecting: 1%… 2%… 3%…]
The progress wasn’t slow, and mostly 30 seconds, the power of God would be collected.
Su Xiao used the plot characters to cope with the Dwarf before taking him by surprise.
Su Xiao didn’t have time to look at the Achievement mission because he didn’t have time to reach Pride and kill him.
“Why is the Dwarf suddenly motionless?”
“Isn’t it clear? Byakuya probably did something.”
Edward and Hohenheim conversed, and Mustang listened.
Mustang couldn’t see anything right now, but he could hear, and he directly asked.
“Who? Byakuya?”
“Right, Byakuya jumped down and….”
Edward narrated the situation, and after hearing Su Xiao putting a bottle in the Dwarf’s body, Mustang’s hair rose.
The other didn’t understand, but he understood Su Xiao very well after cooperating with him.
“Don’t let him do it.”
Mustang shot, and the four stared at him.
“Do not ask my reasons. That fellow is up to something, and he probably wants to become the god himself.”
The others were startled and prepared to attack Su Xiao, but the latter was faster.
He brought the Metal wire and in his hand was a beautiful woman in a blue military uniform.
The woman was bloodied by still breathing.
Edward and the others stopped their attacks and looked at Mustang.
“What’s wrong? Attack him quickly, point the direction, and I will do it myself.”
“Riza… Riza Hawkeye is held hostage, Mustang.”
Hearing this, Mustang roared: “Explosive Flame Alchemist, Byakuya!!!!”
