There is a certain kind of science related to the law of supernatural abilities in this world, and with this law as the goal of exploration, human beings have created [Alchemy] that invokes the energy of the earth's crust and [Alchemy] that invokes the energy of the leylines.

Normally, this ability is subject to a number of factors: first, a specific pattern, which requires different patterns to create different visions; Second, if a person has the scientific knowledge corresponding to the refining array, and is unable to understand the structure, decomposition, and reconstruction of the substance, even if there is a refining array, he will not be able to cause a vision. Third, the law of equivalent exchange cannot be created out of nothing, and an object of one mass can only produce an object of the same mass; Fourth, the user's own power will turn water into ice, and the energy of the world is at the feet, but no one can call on the energy of the entire planet and turn the sea into ice.

There are also abnormal situations, and the world can already use the energy of the 'soul'. Explorers who come into contact with the soul level will comprehend deeper laws from the depths of the world, and can omit the drawing of refining arrays by 'putting their palms together', and if they treat a large number of souls as consumables, they can also ignore the law of equivalent exchange and refine them out of nothing or on the immaterial level.

And it is the refining of a certain non-material level that brings long-term hidden dangers to the world.

In order to seek the way of immortality, the royal family of the ancient kingdom of Selxes used the blood of the slave - Hohenheim as the basic material, and sacrificed many other slaves to refine the [villain in the flask (referred to as 'God')]. In order to gain freedom, Ah Shen instigated the royal family to draw a national territory in the country and carry out massacres in five places, refining himself and Hohenheim's body together into a [Philosopher's Stone] composed of high-density souls.

The god who has been freed is not satisfied with this, he also wants to obtain the power of God and become a complete being. He separated his arrogance, jealousy, anger, laziness, greed, gluttony, and lust to create artificial man, and drove children with different abilities to secretly establish the kingdom of Amestolis and continue to expand.

Now that the total population of the kingdom of Amestorius has surpassed that of the kingdom of Saxes, Ahgod's plan has entered the late stage, while letting [Lazy] dig the land underground to form a formation, and on the other hand, let the then president [Anger] launch a war of aggression, intending to use the blood of the Ishvar people as one of the five seals of the national refining array.

And yet—

(Bang!) The warrior monk who will be renamed 'Ska' in the future breaks into the basement and is about to rescue the man who changed the course of this war.

“…… It's noisy, it's ...... outside" Lyle, who was ordered to be imprisoned for a year by his grandfather, who was the patriarch for blaspheming the god of the earth, Ishvar, was hung by two chains with his hands apart, and sat on the floor with his head down, as if he had just woken up.

"Lyle, the eldest brother said that you are the strongest warrior in the clan, and we need your help!" Scar takes the key he has obtained through illegal means, and gives Lyle a long-lost freedom.

He didn't guard against Lyle's sneak attack, and in the end, Lyle didn't do anything bad to hurt the heavens and reason, but he didn't believe in the earth god that all the Ishvar people believed in, and he happened to be a descendant of the patriarch's lineage, and the patriarch had to deal with it strictly in order to set an example.

"Big brother......? Ah, you seem to be a stupid big brother of Xiaojin. Scar's eldest brother was a short-sighted alchemist, and was Lyle's only male friend before he was imprisoned, and because of this relationship, he actually met Scar several times before he was imprisoned, "So, you're at war?" ”

It's not 'us' but 'you', and a year in prison has changed Lyle's attitude.

"You don't even know that Amystolis is attacking us?" Scar's eyes widened.

Lyle rubbed his wrists, stood up, and said mockingly: "After all, I am only a prisoner, a blasphemous sinner, and it is magnanimous for you not to burn me to death without a fire, how dare you ask you to read me the news of current affairs every day." ”

"............" Scar was speechless, knowing that he had asked a stupid question.

"Honestly, I would love to kill all the old guys in my family, and I have no incentive to fight to protect the people who threw stones at me." Lyle moved his body and slowly walked to the stairs leading to the ground, "It's just that, for the sake of you and your brother releasing me, let's participate in the battle this time." ”

Scar's footsteps faltered slightly, and Lyle's speech made him feel very uneasy, but at the thought of the daily death of his clan and the growing momentum of the war, he immediately put aside his doubts and followed Lyle out of the basement.

"Hmm~~! Sunshine and fresh air~! Ignoring the distant gunfire and smoke, Lyle just wants to sing a song about the beauty of freedom.

Scar inconsiderately interrupted Lyle's good mood to see the light of day again after a year, and urged: "The battlefield is over there! ”

"Don't worry, even if you don't give me time to eat and drink, give me some time to prepare for the war." Lyle shook his head angrily, found a small stone next to him, squatted on the ground and drew a refining array with a rather complex composition.

Scar watched silently, he usually watched his brother draw these things, and knew that alchemists fought differently than ordinary people.

"Heh~ I don't know if this is considered a human body refining~" Lyle smiled indifferently, casually put aside the simple and practical drawing tools, and printed his hands on the refining array.

The white electric light of refining was beating.

The power of the earth's crust enters Lyle's body, and the pigment distribution of the skin throughout the body is adjusted. While his complexion became fair, he lost one of the three physical characteristics of the Ishvars, his red eyes, his brown skin, and his white hair, and his whole body was covered with black lines and patterns that resembled tattoos.

"Something similar to Big Brother's arm...... Scar had seen similar things on his loved ones, with the only difference being that his eldest brother was a real tattoo, while Lyle was refining his own body.

Incidentally, for some reason, it is difficult for Lyle to meet the criteria of 'breaking the taboo of alchemy', at least not the small alchemy achievement of adjusting the pigment distribution to reach the door of truth.

"Oh~ Does he also think it's troublesome to draw into a formation? I can go and see how his refining array is drawn, but now—" Lyle stomped his foot, and some of the black lines and patterns on his body emitted electric light, and the refined electric light lit up on the ground beneath his feet, and continued to transmit it into the distance.

The earth shook, and the towering, thick stone walls slowly rose, enclosing the land where the Ishuvars lived.

"W-What!?" Scar sat down on the ground with his feet limp, and the shock on his face didn't know if it was because of the walls or because of Lyle.

"There's no need to be so surprised, isn't that why you released me?" The refining array of another part of Lyle's body emitted electric light, and a tree dozens of meters away was torn by some force, and some of its leaves, branches, and bark were refined into clothes, pants, and shoes.

Even the effort of changing clothes is saved, and the clothes that have been worn in the basement for an unknown amount of time are directly decomposed, and the new clothes are directly refined on the body. Although the material is not very good, and it is not comfortable to wear, it is clean and neat.

"So......" Lyle turned around and walked in the direction of the battlefield, chuckling, "Let me see how an orthodox alchemist is different from me, a self-learner of alchemy and alchemy~"

Eventually, Ashen's plan took a big step forward, and the Ishvar region was stained with blood.

It's just that the script of the artificial people is [Red Lotus's Alchemist-Kimbri, slaughtering the Ishuvars with the power of the Philosopher's Stone], and the development of reality is [The current human god - Lyle, slaughtering the soldiers of Amistolis, and the alchemist of the Red Lotus-Kimbrie uses the power of the Philosopher's Stone to buy time for the defeated army to retreat].
