Chapter 242: The Truth (10,000 words free, the end of the book)

The capital of Amsteris, the ghetto.

Here are some of the surviving Ishvars, who live like ants in the cracks, and they have no place to belong in the world, so they can only survive in this world.

Their existence is not a secret, but until then, the national government has been turning a blind eye to them, not administering them specially, and not providing them with any assistance.

But today the situation has changed, the country has entered a period of preparation for war, and the Ishvars have become extremely sensitive as a result, not to mention, among the Ishvars, there is also a ruthless serial murderer.

Codenamed "Scar Man", known for his hideous scars on his face, he singled out the country's alchemists, carried more than a dozen lives in his hands, and was already an important wanted criminal by the government.

The newspaper publicized what the scarred man had done, which caused public outrage among the people, and the capital could no longer accommodate the Ishuvars.

Groups of troops broke into the slums.

They kicked through the old houses, some of which were even ancient graves.

There is an ancient tradition in Amestolius that they would build a house for the dead to rest for the souls of the dead, and the richer the person, the bigger and more luxurious the house after death, and the whole family would be buried in the same house.

Before the capital was established, there was once a large area of dead man's houses on the periphery, which is now a place for the poor.

Centuries-old dead man's houses have long been forgotten, and those who cannot afford to buy a house and are homeless have taken these graves for their own use.

Many of the Ishvars lived in the houses of the dead.

And now the army came, and they kicked open the repaired wooden doors, pointed their guns in front of them, wrapped their heads in turbans, protected their young children in their arms, and blocked the view of the soldiers with their own bodies.

The army carefully checked the identities of these people, the physical characteristics of the Ishvars were very different from the natives, skin color, hair, physique, and eye color, which could be judged from these subtle places, if they were natives, the army would let them go, and if they were Ishvars, they would be handcuffed and arrested, and if they resisted during the capture, then the soldiers had the right to shoot.

In the inner room, the old man is talking to Scar, the "scar man".

"Master, I'll go and hold them back, you guys run away now!"

"Scar, our country is gone, where else can we flee? War is coming again, and many will see hell again. The old man let out a long sigh, "We can't change anything, we can only be forced to accept fate." ”

"Damn! If it weren't for these Amystorius, if it weren't for these damn guys! ”

"Scar, we can't go, you're the only one who can leave here, we're all a burden to you, let's go, leave us alone, after you leave, you must remember not to let hatred control you anymore, you have to forget that you were once an Ishvar, go to a place where no one can recognize you, and live there peacefully, this is your brother's wish, and it is also our wish."

"Nope! I'm not going! I'm going to stay and fight the Amestorians to the end! My brother was killed by them, my father and mother were killed by them, and I lived for one thing, and that was to make the Amsterians pay! ”

"Scar!" The old man's voice finally became serious, "Don't you understand, hatred will only make you fall deeper into the abyss, it is because the adopted son of the great president was killed by someone that we will face this situation, it is because someone like you has been going around to take revenge, the army will come here!" ”

"Master, the basic principle of alchemy is equivalent exchange, this is what you taught me, those who kill people, they should pay with their lives! I'm not wrong! I will never admit that I was wrong! ”

"Scar, can you kill all those murderers? Can you do it? The old man opened his cloudy eyes, "This is my last lesson for you, weakness is your and my biggest mistake." ”

"You go, take this last lesson in your heart, if you are not strong enough to defeat all of Amestorius, then never use alchemy again, never mention your identity as an Ishvar again!"

Scar was silent, weakness was the biggest mistake, and he couldn't refute this absolute truth.

If he was strong enough, then why should he be afraid of the swarming slaughterers outside?

If he was strong enough, how could his brother, his relatives, his country, perish?

But there is no if, even if he kills many national alchemists with his personal ability, he is still as weak as an ant in front of the huge machine that works exquisitely in the country.

He still, he couldn't do anything.

That was his biggest mistake.

"I'm going to turn myself in to them." Scar's eyes darkened: "I will confess all my sinful actions..."

He was very reluctant to say that word.

"Pleading... I beg them to spare the rest of the Ishvars..."

"Silly boy." The master tapped him on the shoulder with a wooden staff: "I'll teach you another lesson, never leave the decision in the hands of the enemy." ”

"You go, don't let the light of Ishvar go out, you are the last ember, pass on the fire, this is what you have to do."

"Masterβ€”" There was a lot of emotion in Scar's eyes.

He was about to say something, but then he heard a violent explosion.

Brilliant sparks unfolded in the sky, something exploded in the sky, and there was a commotion outside.

He heard some kind of loud engine humming, and he stepped out under the eaves and looked up at the sky.

There was a strange "bird" flying there, which Scar had never seen before, it was not an airship or a kite, it was much faster than an airship, and it cast a tiny shadow in the harsh sunlight.

The landline phone of the General Headquarters is rapidly connecting to the president at the forefront, Kim Bradley.

His Excellency, however, seemed to be very busy, and there was no time to answer the phone, and for a long time there was no response, not even a telegram.

In the shadows underground, in front of the villain in the bottle, a projection appeared, it was the plane.

"Even this kind of flying prop that uses air movement has been made, and it really came from another country." A hideous smile appeared on the villain's face in the bottle, and the shark's sharp teeth rubbed against each other.

Its body split into a thick darkness, which mimicked the appearance of Kim Bradley, and connected to a special line.

"It's me, what's going on?" The mimic emitted the president's deep voice.

"Your Excellency! An unknown object flew over the capital! Our weapons simply can't hit it, it's at the front of CENTCOM! ”

"Central Command, is that what you're here for?"

In the projection, the villain in the bottle sees a familiar face.

"Oh, I see, it's you, Hohenheim."

"Hahaha, great, now, it saves too much effort!"

The villain in the bottle hung up the phone and stood up.

Someone pushed open the door and brought the last pillar to him.

"Father, the third human pillar, Izmi Qadiz, has been brought to you."

Lust Rast knelt in front of the villain in the bottle, and she brought with her a woman with her eyes closed, as if unconscious.

"Well done, Ruster." The villain in the bottle laughed: "Go and get rid of the undead legions, let them go out into the streets, and make as much chaos as possible outside!"

"Now? Father? Rust looked up and wondered, "But... Father, there are still two days left before the appointed date, and now the streets will become chaotic, will we..."

"No, Rust, you're mistaken, the stars changed a month ago." The villain in the bottle opened his hands, as if to embrace the whole world: "This is fate, today is the day I become a god!" ”

"Hahaha! Hahahaha! ”

Father's unbridled laughter filled Rust's ears, and Rust had many doubts in her heart, there were still two people left, and even the blood seal had not been prepared, why was Father so excited.

Although she had doubts, she didn't dare to do anything disobedient, she was just a tool of her father, and tools should have the consciousness of tools.

Completing orders is her only task, and she doesn't need to worry about anything else.

"Yes." She bowed her head.

She walked straight out of her father's room, stepped on her high heels, walked through the darkness, and opened a door.

Behind the door was a huge space, those pale, hung upside down from the ceiling.

This is the undead army created by my father.

The outline of their ribs could be seen through their pale skin, the only eyeball in the center of their eyebrows, and their limbs were unharmed from normal people, but each undead had a one-person philosopher's stone in their body, and they would obey orders until that philosopher's stone was consumed.

A complete soul can withstand as much damage as they can, and even if they are injured, they will recover, and they have almost no disadvantages as soldiers, but they are too expensive to build.

"Wake up and go and complete your mission." Luster activated the refining array, the wire connecting the puppets broke, and the puppets fell one by one and opened their eyes.

They moaned in pain, wailing souls, but they could not resist, they could only obey orders.

...

In the sky, Ian piloted the plane to the capital, and he looked down to see that someone was firing at them.

"That's it, right?" Ian holds a small bottle in his hand, and in the bottle is the lizard-like Nvi.

Envi nodded repeatedly, and it couldn't wait to take the man underground.

It was its territory, and when it got there, it had a lot more chances to escape, and besides, my father was there.

"Wait! Ian, take a look below! Hohenheim pointed down and said, "Something is coming out!" Is that... Synthmon? ”

At such a high point, Hohenheim could only see small pale dots.

"No... No! It was a man-made puppet, and the power source stuffed inside was the Philosopher's Stone! "Ian's vision is wider, his eyesight is no longer comparable to that of normal people, he can see extremely clearly.

Those puppets launched indiscriminate attacks on the humans around them, whether they were ordinary people or soldiers of the army, they pounced and bit mercilessly, and their behavior patterns were like the well-known zombies that appeared in apocalyptic movies all year round.

Ian clenched the bottle in his hand even more and asked viciously, "Say it quickly!" Didn't you report the news! ”

The little lizard in the bottle shook its head frantically, it had no means of long-range communication at all, and the legions below had nothing to do with it at all.

However, at this moment, the surface of its body glowed red, and it felt a terrifying heat released from its body, and it burned, literally.

Blood-red flames danced around it, tongues of fire licked and ate the vial, which was melted in an instant.

Ian covered his hands with a layer of crystals, and he kept replenishing them when the crystals melted, and he felt that this was not the use of high temperature to crystallize and melt the war hammer, this was alchemy, and the principle of alchemy was the decomposition and reconstitution of matter, and now it was stuck in the step of decomposition.

Envi struggled for only a few seconds before he stopped moving, dead, burned by the flames, or rather, the fire burned with fuel.

It could only be the trick of the villain in the bottle, Ian hesitated for a moment, and threw the fire out, and the flame fell quickly and fell to the ground.

But when the fire was extinguished, a thick darkness poured out of the coke in the next second.

Underground, the villain in the bottle stretched out his hand, and it opened a "door" that used Envi's body as a medium to open the door to the ground.

"Come on! Hohenheim! The hand went from the bottom up, quickly climbing.

Even the plane can't outrun it, it wants to pinch the tail of the plane with its hands, but it finds that it can't touch the plane, there is an invisible field covering the plane, that field is tightly attached to the shell of the plane, it can't penetrate the thin film like something.

"What is this?" The villain in the bottle wondered.

It increased its strength, even exchanging it for the Philosopher's Stone, trying to dissolve the force field.

Darkness enveloped Ian and Hohenheim's vision, and red lightning erupted outside.

"It's that guy! We were found by it! Hohenheim shouted.

"Then it will be as it wishes!" Ian was worried that he couldn't find anyone.

He simply covered the AT force field on his and Hohenheim's exterior this time, giving up the protection of the plane.

So the plane was pinched and exploded, and the two people were grabbed by big hands and quickly pulled underground.

But a second before being pulled through the door, Hohenheim showed an extremely frightened expression.

His eyes were straight to the sky, where a corner of the sun was missing, as if it had been bitten.

The eclipse has begun.

According to his calculations, the day of the eclipse should be two days later, and in order to determine this day, he spent almost a hundred years observing the stars, and it was impossible to make a mistake.

Why does the timing of a solar eclipse change?

Is it a villain in a bottle? What does it do?

The fear of being dominated by the villain in the bottle once again took over his heart.

The next moment, he had been pulled through the door and underground.

In front of him was the little man in the bottle with the husk removed, an ominous thing born out of the door.

"Impossible," Hornheim trembled on the ground, "impossible! The inhabitants of Leor should have all retreated, and there are several cities that have not been able to carve their coats of arms, impossible, how can you perform a ritual in this world! ”

"It can't be! Did I get all my calculations wrong! ”

"No, Hohenheim, there's nothing wrong with your calculations." The villain in the bottle grinned: "But there is a limit to man's calculating power, you can only determine the date by observing the stars over many years, and if the stars change, you can't draw conclusions in a short time." ”

"You certainly don't see that a month ago, there was a slight change in the moon's trajectory."

A month ago? Ian noticed this point in time, wasn't that the time he came to the world of steelmaking?

Was it his arrival that disturbed the astrological signs?

He was still observing, and the little man in the bottle seemed to be completely focused on Hohenheim, not taking him seriously at all.

At this time, he has to reduce his presence as much as possible, and then go around the back of the enemy's ass and shoot chrysanthemum.

"Hohenheim, why didn't you see that you had this potential before?" The little man in the bottle laughed more and more, "You actually want to scatter the Philosopher's Stone in your body on the ground, do you want to stop me with this kind of behavior?" ”

"It's good that I found out earlier, otherwise I would have really been calculated by you, and I'm very relieved to see you grow, Hohenheim."

Hohenheim's cold sweat had soaked through his clothes, this was his last insurance, he had completed this reversal into a formation, and it was precisely because he had completed this refining formation that he would go home, find his wife and children, and want to see them.

If he finally has no choice but to get to that point, he can still have a glimmer of hope, even if he dies, the refining array will be activated, and the villain in the bottle may be killed by the refining array without noticing.

But what he heard now completely shattered his illusions.

"Hahaha, hahaha!" The villain in the bottle smiled, "It's also thanks to your blessing that I made this decision, originally I didn't want to waste the precious Philosopher's Stone." ”

"Wait... Could it be that you! "Hohenheim came up with a way to carve her coat of arms without killing.

"That's right, that's it!" The little man in the bottle stretched out his hand, "Since you can spill the Philosopher's Stone into the earth, why can't I?" ”

"A few days ago, I had the artificial man set off with the Philosopher's Stone inside me, and I separated half of the Philosopher's Stone and asked Sloth to spill them on Leor, the last few cities."

"Even if there is no war, even if there is no bloodshed, however, I still have the minimum conditions for the ceremony."

"Now, right here, I'm going to be God!" The belly of the villain in the bottle opens with a large mouth of blood.

"Ah!!h

Edward, Alphonse, Roy, Hughes, and Isaac were spit out.

"Now we just have to wait quietly for a complete solar eclipse and then make the last pillar, and the conditions are ready!"

Its dark tentacles roll Isaac up, as if trying to make Isaac the last human pillar.

However, at this moment, the tentacle suddenly broke, and the laughter of the villain in the bottle stopped abruptly, its entire body was crushed by the giant hammer, and then a complex refining array appeared on the ground, binding the villain in the bottle, and thousands of red silk threads pulled the villain in the bottle in countless directions.

Isaac fell to the ground, rubbed his shoulders, and looked at the figure.

He was very familiar with the refining array, this was the refining array he used, but he was only the one who used the tools, and the one in front of him was the developer of the refining array.

"Leave it to me here! Mr. Hohenheim, you take them outside and dispose of those puppets! Ian said.

The villain in the bottle was not killed by his sneak attack, the darkness quickly condensed, and those silk threads could only bind it, but could not pull the Philosopher's Stone out of its body.

"You... What is it? The villain in the bottle finally turned his attention to Ian.

"Ian, it's just Ian." Ian whispered.

He slit open his palm, and warm blood dripped to the ground.

Golden arcs of lightning leaped across his body, bones and flesh derived from him, matter spread through the void, and huge skulls enveloped him.

The villain in the bottle is a part of the truth, or a part of the way of heaven, and in the face of it, Ian will never leave his hand, and will fight this thing that has escaped from behind the door of truth with the strongest posture.

The Absolute Realm trapped him and the villain in the bottle, and Hohenheim knew that this was not a battlefield for them to meddle in, so he immediately hugged the unconscious Izmi on the ground and dragged his son and the others outside.

"Come out! It's going to collapse! ”

Hohenheim roared, and the giant took shape, smashing the load-bearing structures of the area into pieces, and dust and stones fell down, as everyone knew that this place was not to stay for long.

"Father! How did you get here? Alphonse picked up the wounded Lieutenant Colonel Hughes and ran down the sewers.

"Let's talk later!" Hohenheim said, "Edward, let's open the way together!" ”

"Damn!" Edward gritted his teeth and folded his hands, "When you get out, you'll have to explain it to me, Hohenheim!" It's not just today! And the thing about you who abandoned your mother before! ”

"If you have the chance, you would." Hohenheim smiled.

He clapped his hands with Edward and forged it.

Steel and dirt are shaped by their combined strength, and although they have never been trained, they have the tacit understanding that their biological father and son should have.

The two worked well together to open the collapsed sewer, and beneath them, the dirt snaked upwards like snakes and flew out of the open hole.

They came to the surface, and the streets were full of legions of pale undead, scurrying about, biting at sight.

"Is this also a trick of the villain in the bottle? What the hell is it trying to do? Colonel Roy frowned.

He jumped off the earth dragon, put on his white gloves, and snapped his fingers.

Crackling sparks, jumping at his fingertips, quickly turned into flames, incinerating the white zombies gushing in front of him.

"In short, we must survive the eclipse." Hohenheim looked up at the giant over there, who rose from the rubble.

The people around have all these white zombies fled, and those who couldn't escape have died in place.

"As long as it lasts a few minutes, it won't be able to do anything."

"Hey, Hohenheim, all you have to do is procrastinate and run away!" Edward said indignantly, "Of course it's to kill that guy here once and for all, to kill it so that it never can do anything bad, that's our goal!" ”

"Until then, I think we'll have to deal with all this disruption first." Colonel Roy said, "Let's go to the ruins of CENTCOM, there should still be a working phone there, I'm going to contact Lieutenant Lisa and get our men moving!" ”

"If you want a phone, you have it here!" Isaac pointed ahead, and the moment they rushed underground, he controlled the severed water valve to freeze, protecting a military phone booth.

Roy's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward and made a call.

After several turnarounds, after saying the code, the call was received by Lieutenant Lisa.

"Colonel, is that you?" Lisa's voice trembled a little.

"It's me, Lieutenant, I'm sorry to disappear for a while."

"It's okay Colonel, where are you now? The situation couldn't be worse, I'll pick you up right away. ”

"I'm in the Central Command, you should have seen it, there's a giant there, that giant is our companion, you don't have to worry here, your priority is to get rid of those white monsters and protect the safety of the citizens!"

"Lieutenant Colonel Hughes will be responsible for giving you tactical instructions."

Roy handed the phone to Hughes, who moved his only healthy hand and quickly entered the state: "Lieutenant Lisa, how many troops can we call on, where are they distributed, and also, please tell me about the streets and intersections where the monsters appear, just say it verbally, I have a complete map of the capital in my head." ”

"Yes!" Lieutenant Lisa replied with a puff of heart.

By the time they finished communicating, the sun was finally completely swallowed.

The villain in the bottle was pinched in the hand by the war hammer, Ian tried many ways but failed to kill it, he used the dragon's words, but these injuries seemed to be ineffective against it, he and Hohenheim made improvements to this refining array that can strip the philosopher's stone, but the effect on the villain in the bottle is still very insignificant, and can only be reluctantly restrained.

It may have been an unkillable thing, and in the original ending, it only returned to the Gate of Truth, and in Ian's understanding, at most, it could only strip out the Philosopher's Stone in its body, making it completely ineffective, and the villain in the bottle, the black ball that was originally bound in the flask, itself was probably a "concept", "principle", but only gave birth to consciousness.

A "concept" cannot be killed, just like a knife that cuts through a waterfall no matter how fast it is.

"You're hereβ€”" The villain in the bottle once again condensed his body.

But before he could say a complete sentence, he was once again pinched by Ian's head.

Ian can't kill it completely, but he can make it unable to do anything.

Perhaps I had to find a way to seal it up, but the mutation occurred during a total solar eclipse.

"I'm really angry!" The villain in the bottle broke free from the refining array, and its body no longer had a shape, completely turning into a shadow, like the sea of imaginary numbers and the dark energy of the negative universe, spreading around the Warhammer giant.

"Forget it, then wait another 800 years, wait for the next solar eclipse."

It opened its eyes, and the entire ground of the capital appeared with the light of the Territorial Refining Array.

Ian immediately pulled his legs out of the ground and ran with him to the periphery.

"Do you want to take me away from the center of the refining array? Idiot, now, this city is the center! ”

"Come on! What I'm going to open this time is my door! ”

Rust, in the shadows, suddenly felt a pain in her heart.

She fell to her knees, her soul being pulled out and floating into the sky.

The land refining array has been completed, although there is no pillar, but the villain in the bottle still got this opportunity, this time it does not covet the power of the gods, but only collects the philosopher's stone.

Hohenheim on the ground found out about this, he was prostrate on the ground, he had spent many years, splashed the Philosopher's Stone in thousands of places, and the villain in the bottle could only remove a small number of key nodes at most, and it was impossible to destroy all the nodes.

"Everyone! Help me! ”

The footprints he had trodden shone red.

After he obtained this body, he spent a long time talking to each soul in order to gain the approval of the dead.

At this moment, the souls killed by the villain in the bottle were united.

And that's not all... He also felt some strong breath, coming from Leor, from the air of the capital.

It's the souls that have been released from the artificial humans, and those souls have been reduced to the most basic elements, but there are still some traces of "echoes" remaining.

Many suffering souls resonate at this moment.

"What's going on!" The villain in the bottle panicked: "Why hasn't the Philosopher's Stone increased!" ”

"Because you have miscalculated the power of the human heart!" Ian said categorically, "And I, now, have found a way to kill you once and for all!" ”

He is a giant, refining it.

Truths, concepts... Countless clips hovered around Ian's body like a film for a movie.

He suddenly figured out one thing, what was the right way to open the door of truth, and what was the way to go home.

In an instant, both he and the villain in the bottle disappeared into reality and came to a pure white world.

Finally, he saw the magnificent iron door.

It was a fifty-meter-high gate, and what was engraved on the door was everything he had experienced, like a mural, depicting his entire life.

Not only Ian's life, but also the time he spent in his hospital bed.

It's just that there was little time in that pitiful, and the portrayal of less than one meter was his whole life.

Further up, it becomes extremely magnificent, the fire on the farm that night, the reincarnation of life and death, the endgame of the inherited Warhammer giants, the brilliance of the nuclear bomb explosion...

Apostles, EVA, Spears of Longnookis, Dragons, Ice Sea...

The higher it goes, the more gorgeous it is like a picture scroll of God.

In front of the door, there was a pure white man, with the same silhouette as him.

"Hey, have you really decided? It's not something you can simply give up, you're already on top of the world. ”

"But the so-called truth, this is what it is, in my case, this is the truth, the power of giants, the power of dragons, the power of the apostles, these things are not mine, my dream is very simple, it has not changed for so many years, I am still me, as I used to be on the farm, I can eat every day, I can fly kites, bask in the sun, and now I can add one, I can see my friends often, and I can live my life peacefully, it is enough."

"Hey, are you serious?"

"Seriously."

"Hahaha! Hahahaha! It's funny, you win! When you step up the stairs and go to the top, you have the right to touch the truth. ”

"One is all, all is one, only by seeking strength from oneself and perfecting oneself can you grasp the truth, and the truth is already in your hands."

The pure white man pointed to his palm.

The magnificent iron door opened, and he looked into his palm, and couldn't help laughing, it was empty, empty.

Who wouldn't be like that, come into this world empty, and die empty.

Nothing can be taken away, and nothing can be left.

"Go back, go back where you need to go." Ian whispered.

In the blink of an eye, the little man in the bottle came to his palm, which was the body of the little man in the bottle, a very small black ball.

"Don't... Why! Why you! ”

"What kind of truth is this! That's a truth! ”

"Paying off debts, killing people to pay for lives, I think that's the truth." Ian let go of his hand and let it float through the door, "Your thirst for freedom is not wrong, but you've hurt too many people so far. ”

"What about you! Don't think you're a good person! I saw it! What you did! How many children, women, old people and innocents have you blown up! Why don't you pay for your life! Why don't you pay for your life! How can you get the truth? Why! ”

Ian just smiled and looked at the villain in the bottle.

"Could it be... You! You... You guy! ”

"I'll pay the price, but anyone can have a little bit of selfishness, and I think that's true."

There was a loud bang, and the door slammed shut.

The back door began to disintegrate from the top, turning into fragments of nothingness, and finally disappeared into the pure white world, as if it had never appeared

...

On the other side of the battlefield, Major General Olivia Mira Armstrong, covered in blood, in the barracks, plunged his saber into the heart of the Grand President.

She and her colleagues are here to execute the President.

"Cyborg, Kim Bradley, this is where you are buried!"

The army in the capital, under the operation of Roy and Hughes, restored order.

The undead monsters were all wiped out, and the army finally gathered in the pit at CENTCOM, where the giants and the villains in the bottle disappeared.

At this moment, the eclipse is over, but the riots are not over, everyone is in the vicinity, and the soldiers are searching everywhere for traces.

Hohenheim and his son also searched the streets of the neighborhood as hard as they could.

But in the blink of an eye, they suddenly saw Ian at the intersection in front of them.

The Hohenheim and Edward brothers were stunned for a moment, and then ran menacingly.

"That black-skinned bastard! Where did it go! Edward shook his fist.

"It left and will never come back." Ian said.

"Ian... Youβ€”" Hohenheim looked at Ian in shock, he didn't even see how the man appeared.

The girl in the cloth dress, she just suddenly appeared next to Ian, holding Ian's hand, just as suddenly as Ian's appearance.

The girl curiously pulled her clothes, pinched her face, and then held her breath, and only after it rose to the color of pork liver did she let go and breathed in a big breath of air.

"Introduction, this is Ymir." Ian paused and said, "By blood, it's my ancestor. ”

...

A few days later, the Edward brothers sat facing each other in a hotel bed, while Hohenheim stood and watched.

"So, it's time to begin, Alphonse."

"Let's get started! Brother! ”

The palms of the two men were palms against palms, and the palms of their palms released the light of alchemy.

The armor crumbled, Edward's missing arm returned, and Alvons's emaciated body returned to reality.

"Al, is that you?"

"Well, brother, really... It worked! ”

"Great!" Edward couldn't help but rush forward and hug his brother.

But he was extremely careful in his movements, because Alphonse looked too fragile.

"Edward, your legs, is this really okay? Or elseβ€”" Hohenheim asked, Edward had one of his legs being mechanical.

"Don't meddle! It's a matter between our brothers! Edward gritted his teeth and patted the leg, "I traded this leg for Al's soul, and this is the price we should pay for what we did wrong. ”

"Alchemy or something, we didn't care about it in the first place, we just wanted our mother to come back to accompany us, that's all."

"Really," Hohenheim's eyes darkened, "I'm sorry, if I had been there... Alyssa probably won't..."

Edward clenched his fist and slammed Hohenheim's head: "I will never forgive you for this matter for the rest of my life!" But I want to tell you, Mom, she never hated you, it was only me who hated you, because I couldn't stand the way Mom held a photo of you and cried alone! ”

"For the rest of your life, let me live in guilt!"

"Brother." Alphonse called softly.

"What's wrong, Al?" Edward turned his head to look.

"Help me beat up my dad too."

"Ahh Absolutely! ”

Edward threw another powerful punch that shattered Hornheim's glasses.

"Hahaha, hahahaha." Alphonse lay on the bed, smiling happily.

"Anyway, brother's friend, that Mr. Ian, will he come back as a guest?"

"He said he would."

Edward went to the window, opened the curtains, and looked at the blue sky, where a wild pigeon flew by.

"But he said he wanted to go home and see it before that."

"I want to go home too, go back and see my mother-in-law and Wen Li, and Nina."

"Then go back, anyway, we don't understand the affairs of the government and the army, let Colonel Roy and Lieutenant Colonel Hughes pull their hair, let's go home."

"Hmm!"

"You guys aren't allowed to run!" Edward took Hohenheim's hand and pulled him to his feet, "I'll supervise you, you must make up all the bouquets you owe your mother all these years!" ”

"Let's go home!"
