Chapter 425: Conspiracy Behind the Conspiracy

"Impossible, how could the power of God reject me?"

The Dwarf in the Flask stood in place without moving, letting the five human sacrifices attack.

A layer of invisible energy wrapped around the Dwarf in the Flask.

"Continue attacking him. There are no Philosopher's Stones of the Amestris people in his body anymore, only the Philosopher's Stones of the 'Xerxes ancient country people'."

Although Van Hohenheim's words were a bit of a mouthful, Edward understood immediately.

Only the previously remaining Philosopher's Stones were left in the Dwarf in the Flask's body, and the new Philosopher's Stones dissipated before they could form. Those tens of millions of souls had already returned to their respective bodies.

Now, the power of God was the core of the Dwarf in the Flask, and the Philosopher's Stone was the energy he needed when using the core.

Without energy, he couldn't use the power of God. Not only that, but the Dwarf in the Flask also had to use energy to suppress the power of God.

Let alone launching an attack, even the Dwarf in the Flask's movements were somewhat strenuous; the blood vessels all over his body were bulging, and his face was hideous.

*Boom, boom... *

The five human sacrifices tried their best, but the Dwarf in the Flask stood in place without moving.

At this moment, the Dwarf in the Flask was even more anxious than the five human sacrifices. Although no new Philosopher's Stones were formed, he could barely suppress the power of God by relying on the Philosopher's Stones he had previously obtained. At the very least, he had to restore the ability to move freely.

Making a sun with his hands was no longer possible, but the Dwarf in the Flask's combat power still far exceeded the five human sacrifices.

The awkward thing was that the Dwarf in the Flask still couldn't move. He had activated an incomplete transmutation circle, forcibly dragging the power of God into his body.

After going through all kinds of hardships to drag the power of God into his body, just after obtaining the power of God, the twenty million souls in his body were released.

It had to be said that the Dwarf in the Flask's psychological quality was extremely strong; encountering these changes, he actually didn't go crazy.

This is like a cultivator in a novel story who has gone through N years of cultivation to pass the heavenly tribulation and ascend to the immortal world, but just after ascending to the immortal world, he learns that his permissions are insufficient and he needs to recharge 889 to fully ascend. That mood is more than just a "WTF" can describe.

Edward and the others' attacks continued, and the Philosopher's Stones in the Dwarf in the Flask's body were consumed rapidly.

A few minutes later, Edward slapped his hands on the ground, and an earth spike thrust toward the Dwarf in the Flask.

The Dwarf in the Flask dodged sideways, which made the five human sacrifices pause. This guy could move, and was dodging attacks, which meant the energy in the opponent's body was already running low.

The Dwarf in the Flask's expression was exceptionally hideous, looking angrily at Hohenheim.

"Why? Even you, who are my blood relative, want to stop me? Even at the last moment, I never thought about killing you."

When the Dwarf in the Flask first performed the Nationwide Transmutation, he put half of the Philosopher's Stones obtained into Hohenheim's body, and Hohenheim gained immortality.

"Blood relative? No, both your existence and mine are mistakes."

Hearing this sentence from Hohenheim, killing intent finally surged in the Dwarf in the Flask's eyes.

At this moment, the Dwarf in the Flask's various emotions had recovered; he wanted to become a complete existence, and emotions were indispensable.

*Zhi—*

The sound of metal wire contracting came, and the Dwarf in the Flask was bound by metal wires.

The Philosopher's Stones in his body were almost exhausted. Except for the energy to suppress the power of God, he didn't have much energy left to use.

The Dwarf in the Flask stretched his arms outward, and with a *bang*, the Boundary Line snapped.

*Zheng! *

The sword light flashed from top to bottom, and the Dwarf in the Flask's flying head was full of astonishment. He couldn't figure out why a "mortal" could hurt him.

Red electric light flickered at the Dwarf in the Flask's neck.

"Beautifully done!"

Edward's master, Izumi Curtis, clenched her fists. This slash could be called a stroke of genius; whether it was the grasp of the timing or the position of the attack, it was impeccable.

Su Xiao had been hiding by the pit above for a long time for this slash. He had actually arrived long ago, but he hadn't made a move.

Although the Dwarf in the Flask was decapitated, his recovery power was extremely strong; he could recover his head in a few seconds.

While slashing off the Dwarf in the Flask's head, Su Xiao landed. As soon as he landed, he rushed toward the Dwarf in the Flask.

Rushing in front of the Dwarf in the Flask, Su Xiao didn't continue to attack, but a bottle the length of a finger appeared in his hand.

【Magic Crystal Bottle】

Quality: None

Type: Mission Item

Effect: Used to collect the power of God (False)

Rating: None

Introduction: None

Price: Not for sale, promotion mission fails if lost.

Su Xiao held the 【Magic Crystal Bottle】 and rushed in front of the Dwarf in the Flask.

*Puchi. *

Su Xiao thrust the 【Magic Crystal Bottle】 directly into the Dwarf in the Flask's neck. At this moment, the Dwarf in the Flask's head had just regenerated halfway.

Suddenly, the Dwarf in the Flask's recovery stopped, standing in place like a statue.

【Collecting power of God (False), 1% collected, 2%, 3%...】

The progress was neither fast nor slow; at most thirty seconds, the 【Magic Crystal Bottle】 would fully collect the power of God.

There was no battle with the final BOSS as imagined. Why did Su Xiao kill so many homunculi and then form an alliance with Mustang and Olivier? The answer was to weaken the Dwarf in the Flask's power.

He used plot characters to deal with the Dwarf in the Flask, and in the end, he "picked the peach."

While the 【Magic Crystal Bottle】 was collecting the power of God, Su Xiao completed the achievement mission 【Conviction】. Although Conviction was only completed (6/7), and Envy was nearby, he had no time.

Su Xiao had no time to check the rewards for the achievement mission 【Conviction】; his gaze was fixed on the five human sacrifices.

"Why did the Dwarf in the Flask suddenly stop moving?"

"Not sure. Bai Ye must have used some method."

The discussion between Edward and Hohenheim attracted Mustang's attention.

Mustang had been forced to perform human transmutation, and the toll was his eyesight; he couldn't see anything anymore.

"Who? Bai Ye?"

Mustang's eyes were lifeless, but he could hear.

"Yes, Bai Ye suddenly jumped down from above, and then..."

Edward narrated the situation to Mustang. After hearing that Su Xiao had put a bottle into the Dwarf in the Flask's body, the hair all over Mustang's body stood up.

The other human sacrifices didn't discover the abnormality not because they were stupid, but because they didn't understand Su Xiao. Mustang was different; he had cooperated with Su Xiao and had some understanding of Su Xiao's style of doing things.

"Stop him!"

Mustang shouted. The other four human sacrifices paused, somewhat puzzled. Su Xiao was clearly stopping the Dwarf in the Flask.

"Don't ask me the reason. That guy must have some scheme. He is very likely trying to replace him and become God."

The few human sacrifices were shocked. Just as they were preparing to attack Su Xiao, Su Xiao tightened the Boundary Line.

Previously, the Boundary Line only broke a small section. The Boundary Line was over a hundred meters long, and breaking a small section was just a small matter.

Tightening the Boundary Line, a bloody figure was dragged down from the pit above.

This was a golden-haired beauty with a well-proportioned figure, wearing a blue military uniform.

Su Xiao held the woman in his hand. The golden-haired beauty's hair was disheveled, and her breathing was weak.

The attacks that the few human sacrifices were about to launch stopped. Edward subconsciously looked at Mustang.

"What's wrong? Attack him quickly, point me in the direction, I'll do it myself."

Mustang, who couldn't see, was very anxious.

"Colonel... Second Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye is being held hostage by him."

Hearing this sentence, Mustang's masseter muscle protruded.
