Chapter 7: Anger and Arrogance

There are always very few people who can [see it with their own eyes], and the vast majority of people can only get information with the help of the news media, and the "authenticity", "timeliness", and "accuracy" that news media workers claim to themselves are often restricted by various practical factors, and only "timeliness" can get good scores.

Taking Lyle's torture and killing of Envi as an example, ignoring all the deeper content, on the surface it was just a battle between the strong man A and monster B, but through the newspaper and the radio, it turned into Lyle turning an innocent citizen into a monster on the street, and the panicked citizens instantly became good helpers for the city's search and arrest operation.

It's not that it can't be defeated, but if it is directly killed in the city, then Lyle is no different from the artificial people who plan to refine 50 million people into the Philosopher's Stone, and can only hide their whereabouts...... Of course, this doesn't bother the world's strongest alchemist, who is not a complete law-abiding man.

The capital area is expensive, but there are always people who go out on business, there are always people who go out to travel, there are always people who have idle villas, and there are always people who are reluctant to sell their ancestral houses.

"Can I assume that the camp to which that monster belongs is not some mysterious underground organization, but an organization that knows the roots of the high-level of the country of Amestris?" Perhaps the android camp thinks that the report of the bias frame can limit the scope of Lyle's activities, but from another angle, the report of the frame also exposes some of their members.

Well, in their eyes, Lyle already knows their details, and there is nothing to criticize for the decision-making mistakes caused by the lack of intelligence.

"Not every country has problems at the top, but President Kim Brattley, who has vigorously pursued a policy of military expansion since taking office, is not right in any way." Lyle glanced at the map, determined the general direction, and activated the refining of air that he was good at.

This time it was his own body that was rolled up,

Climbing all the way to the deep night sky, as long as you fly high enough, the electric light and sound generated by maintaining the refining will be difficult to be detected by the people on the ground, which is the most worry-free and fastest way to move.

"Anyway, you once ordered the slaughter of the Ishvars, and you are not a good bird, and the wrong kill is the wrong kill." Arriving directly above the presidential palace, a whim-struck Lyle decided to make a big scene, reaching over his head as if to catch the invisible flow of atmosphere.

The special energy of the world is transformed into the kinetic energy of the wind through alchemy, and gathers into a vortex according to Lyle's consciousness.

Compression, compression, compression.

Clouds in the night sky gathered like funnels, and spherical cannonballs tens of meters in diameter emitted strange songs.

"Look at Uncle Ben's air cannon!" With a wind speed of 120 meters per second, the Wind Spear, which even a car can easily roll up, was thrown down by Lyle and liberated after touching the ground.

The seemingly solid presidential palace collapsed like a sand sculpture, and everything was blown away dozens of meters away, and even the dirt and gravel on the ground were swept up by the strong wind, forming a large earth crater.

When the wind subsided, the sound quieted down, leaving only a dead silence of ruins.

"The power is good, and like the previous absolute zero attack, it is environmentally friendly and pollution-free, and it should be recommended for all alchemists who go to the battlefield to learn~" Lyle slowly landed in the back garden of what was once the presidential palace, and his eyes were locked on two rubbles not too far apart.

(Bang!) The black unspeakable thing bloomed, crashed into a piece of rubble, and came out the son of the president, who had the appearance of a boy.

The other rubble was lifted up a little, moved to the side and put down, and out came the bloodied president.

"Not bad, not bad, twice as much as I imagined~" Lyle stared at the black shadow with eyes and mouth emerging from the son of the great president, secretly raising his vigilance, "Moreover, the dark side of this country seems to be twice as deep as I imagined." ”

The son of the great president, the android born of [arrogance], Pryde, unexpectedly did not give priority to the incoming enemy, but turned his head and asked his companion with a little eagerness: "Brush, how is she?" ”

Grand President Kim Brattley, an android born of [Anger], shook his head when he heard this: "...... You should know very well that with my ability, there is no way to protect her from this kind of attack. ”

“…… Is it. Pride closed his eyes wordlessly.

It is natural for a husband and wife to share a bed and a pillow.

It makes sense that the adopted son sleeps in a different room.

As for the warm picture of a family of three sleeping together, it doesn't exist, not to mention that as the eldest android, he can't stand it, and Brush, a 60-year-old guy who grows and ages like an ordinary person, can't stand it.

"Sounds like you guys were really in love when you played house games with humans?" Lyle's speech broke the sadness of Lace and Pryde.

Pride opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "...... No matter what you think of us, we have the same feelings. ”

"Yes, as I am at the moment, there is nothing left but anger." His weapon was blown by the strong wind and he didn't know where, and Lace picked up a small iron bar from nowhere, and quickly rushed towards Lyle.

It is also a rush to death.

He can only play white-knuckle combat, even if he is not injured, he will definitely not be able to win against Lyle with all kinds of all-round attacks, and he will even be killed in one hit...... It's just that even if you turn around and run, you will definitely not survive, in this case, it is better to die a little stronger.

No matter how keen your eyes are, you can't see the attack of the invisible, and Your Excellency the President is torn apart in the blink of an eye.

"Huh?! That's it? "Lyle, who sensed a small amount of Philosopher's Stone on Brush's body, thought that the other party would have some kind of special ability that needed to be injured to activate, but he didn't expect it to be done simply.

“……!” Pride had already tried to run away, wrapping his body in shadows for protection, and advancing from the ground with five or six black shadow monsters smiling.

"Wait a minute." Lyle held out his hand and shouted to stop Pryde's movements, "I want to ask a question, don't worry, not to get information about your companions." ”

“?” Pride stopped, but didn't say much, waiting for Lyle's question.

"The body of an artificial human should have no lifespan, and you may have lived a long time." Looking at Pryde's posture when he was preparing to attack, and thinking back to the battle with Envi, Lyle was only left with confusion in his heart, "Alchemy is a technology regardless of race, and it can be launched with enough knowledge in the brain, even if the learning ability is not as good as that of a monkey, diligence can make up for it and conquer a field, right?" Not to mention that you have the Sage's Stone in your body, and when you are at the moment of life and death, you can launch a life-saving refining in the form of depleting the Sage's Stone...... Why...... Why don't you seem to know alchemy? ”

"............" Pride could not answer the question.

However, Lyle was already able to rule out an answer from the silence, and said with a smile: "It seems that it is not because the body is unable to perform alchemy~ that is, I think I am strong enough to look down on a human like me who still needs to learn alchemy from books~"

"Shut up!" The arrogance in his heart was trampled under his feet, and Pride's face changed drastically, like a wave of physical shadows.

"I'll keep my mouth shut, and I don't want to talk too much about the inferior races who don't know how to learn." Lyle put away his smile and began another torture. Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
