The town of Dabris, in a hotel called the Magic Kiln.

In one of the hotel's utility rooms, Alphonse sat against a wall with his hands and feet tied.

Alphonse is the younger brother of the protagonist, and when he and his brother were engaged in human forgery, his brother lost an arm, and he lost all of his body.

Now Alphonse is a tall family armor, the armor is empty, and there is a blood mark inside, and it is this blood seal that holds Alphons's soul to the armor.

Alphonse was able to move normally, even fighting or using alchemy, which shows that alchemy has nothing to do with the body, but is initiated by the soul.

At this point, Alphonse had a woman in his armor, not exactly human.

Her name is Mardele, and she is a synthetic beast of a human and a snake, and she has the appearance of a normal human and some of the characteristics of a snake, such as sensing heat, and having a soft body.

Mature was in Alphonse's armor at this time, which would limit Alphons' movements.

In the room, Greedy Gled stepped forward and took off Alphonse's iron helmet, and Madele came into view.

"Oh~, amazing, it's really hollow."

Glied put the iron helmet back down and pointed at himself.

"My name is Glid, and I wish we could live together in peace."

Glied is a young man who always has a smile on his face and wears small round sunglasses to cover his eyes, which makes it impossible for others to judge his joy and anger.

Behind Glied stood several synths, most of which remained human.

The so-called synthetic beast is to refine humans and animals, and combine the two into one.

The several synths behind Glid are all finished products, they have their own consciousness and thoughts, can perform tasks independently, and have some animal abilities.

Some of these synths are made of humans and crocodiles, and some of them are made of humans and lizards.

There are three strongest synths, Loa (male) who is made of humans and cows, Doruchid (male) who is combined by humans and dogs, and Madele (female) who is made of humans and snakes.

The trio are Greedy Glid's main subordinates.

When Glied introduced Alphonse to the synths, Alphonse was incredulous.

"Impossible, I've seen synthetic beasts, they don't have the ability to communicate at all, and your subordinates are no different from humans at all."

"Surprised, that's true."

Glied didn't explain anything, Alphonse was now a prisoner, and he didn't need to explain to the other party.

"Who synthesized it?"

Alphonse remembered that he had seen the little girl, who had been combined with a dog, and who had become neither human nor ghost, and that the initiator of everything was actually the little girl's father, who was a national alchemist.

"Army."

"How is that possible?"

"There is always darkness in the world that cannot see the light, and I am not a synthetic beast, I am an artificial human, and I have a purpose for catching you this time."

Glid looked at Alphonse greedily.

"How can you extract the soul alone, and fix it on something like you, you are already in a situation that is very similar to eternal life."

This is the purpose of Glied's capture of Alphons, he wants the technique of extracting and fixing the soul, although he is young on the outside, but the energy of the Philosopher's Stone in his body is always exhausted, and he does not have much time.

"The big sister in your body is not very honest, if you accidentally wipe off the blood stain......"

The threat was already clear, but Alphonse shook his head.

"I don't know, I don't have a memory when the soul is fixed to the armor."

Glied's eyes narrowed.

"Don't you want to say it, then I'll ask another way, I must get the method of eternal life."

"Eternal life? Do androids die of old age? ”

"Of course, although my body is stronger than ordinary people, it will take more than two hundred years at most to re-refine my father, and I don't have much time, so don't anger me."

Alphonse was silent, he would not betray his brother.

The door was pushed open, and a man walked into the room.

"You don't need the means to eternal life anymore."

Su Xiao walked into the room, followed by Bubutni.

"Is this your masterpiece?"

Glied pointed at Alphonse.

"Yes, it's my masterpiece."

The light in Su Xiao's hand flashed, and a super-grade alchemy bomb appeared in his hand.

"This is the main material for immobilizing the soul, in exchange, to tell me how to make an artificial man."

Throwing away the super-grade alchemy bomb in his hand, Su Xiao blocked the door.

"Don't be a fool, Flame Alchemist."

"Oh? Do you recognize me, then to put it bluntly, I may not be able to let go of the kidnapping of the family of the national alchemist. ”

It's just an excuse, and it's an excuse to kill people in the open.

"Cut, nosy."

Glitter waved his hand.

"Kill him, be careful, this guy is a bomb maniac."

"Yes."

The synthetic beast behind Glid slowly moved closer to Su Xiao.

Su Xiao threw out the alchemy bomb in his hand and exited the room.

Rumble!

Explosions resounded throughout the neighborhood, and civilians screamed in fright.

The explosion receded, and Su Xiao, who was choking on the smoke, coughed a few times, and the room where Gled was before had been blown through.

A large crater appeared in the ground, and the corpses of several synths were scattered around.

Glied escaped with Alphonse, along with three synths.

Su Xiao sensed the direction of Glied's escape, which was below.

……

Inside the sewers, Gled ran quickly with Alphonse on his shoulder, Alphons' armor was a little twisted, and it seemed that it had been blown up lightly.

"This guy is the Flame Alchemist? It's a bomb maniac. ”

One of Roya's (oxen's) arms was blown off, the fractures were uneven, and Dorouched (the dog) was held on his shoulder, and the lower part itself was gone.

"Don't talk nonsense, run, that guy is a madman, and that guy killed the most people in the war of annihilation in Ishbal."

Greed Glied ran ahead quickly, he wasn't hurt, he could harden the surface of his body, it was his ability, his strongest shield, and his resilience was the strongest among androids.

Rumble!

Explosions were heard over the heads of several people, and a large hole was blown out of the sewer.

Su Xiao jumped out of the hole and stood in front of Glid and the others.

"Do you have to fight, you shouldn't have anything to do with the steel alchemist, why bother with it."

Gled didn't seem to want to fight Su Xiao, Su Xiao didn't speak, just stood in front of a few people.

"It looks like we have to fight."

Glied's skin turned dark, he extracted the carbon molecules from his body to form a carbon layer on the surface of the skin, and when the density of the charcoal reached a certain level, the hardness was beyond imagination.

Glied's appearance changed drastically, his whole body was pitch black, his hair was gone, and the top of his head was bare.

Two fangs poked out of Glied's jaw, and Glied moved his neck.

"It's been a long time since I've used this form, this form is too ugly, alchemist, your bomb is no longer effective against me."

Gled sneered and gradually approached Su Xiao.

"Is it really ineffective?"

With a wave of Su Xiao's palm, dozens of super-grade alchemy bombs were scattered on the ground, and these alchemy bombs turned into small white snakes.

"Hey, there's no mistake, what's going on with this amount."
