Chapter 414: The Impending Storm

Su Xiao immediately picked up the treasure chest from the ground, and since only contractors could see such things, no one present noticed anything out of the ordinary.

Ignoring the stares, Su Xiao looked at Olivia.

— He's a homunculus, so if you've seen him in person, then you now believe in their existence.

Any indicators of Laziness were beyond the capabilities of an ordinary person.

— Let's become allies, " Olivia, who had been hesitating until now, changed her mind on this matter.

— Well.

With such a good ally, Su Xiao could now start thinking about how he could defeat his Father.

And he would need to make plans with the fact that the contractors were still in this derivative world.

Olivia decided to make Su Xiao her ally mainly because he was too strong.

And no, she wasn't afraid of Su Xiao. She was afraid of the one he wanted to kill.

Once such a powerful man came to her and patiently waited for her decision about the union... Then just how strong was the Father he was talking about?

The answer to this question was very simple. Either Father was the strongest alchemist in the world, or Father was the strongest being in this world.

But, in any case, both of these options did not bode well.

Su Xiao's goal wasn't just to kill her Father. He was supposed to take his "pseudo God power" away from him».

If he just had to kill his father, it would be a lot easier. Although he was no doubt very strong, he wasn't invincible.

Su Xiao's mission was much more complicated. He needed to take away his " pseudo God power».

At this point in time, Father didn't have any such powers. He will receive this power only after sacrificing the citizens of his country.

This mission was very difficult. He would essentially need to defeat his Father after he received the pseudo God power, and he would also have to take that power away as well.

But Father, after receiving the pseudo power of God, became too strong. In the original story, he received the pseudo-power of a God and created a miniature sun from the air above his palm.

He needed to somehow let him get that power, but in doing so, he needed to make sure that he didn't have the kind of incredible power that he had for a while in the original story...

And as soon as Su Xiao appeared in this world, he immediately started looking for sins. This was not only to get the chests and the Source of Peace, but also to make sure that Father would get the pseudo God power as soon as possible.

A huge circle and its work was controlled by sins. My father usually lived quietly underground in his hideout and never left it. Now that five of the seven sins were dead, Father must have sensed that something had gone wrong.

The remaining two homunculi were very important. Pride was in charge of overseeing Central, and Anger was in charge of running the country.

None of them could leave Central for long.

Laziness was killed before he could finish digging the underground canal.

My father had two options right now. The first is to be patient and create new henchmen, the second is to forcibly activate the circle.

The first option wasn't what Su Xiao wanted to see. He didn't have much time left in this world, and he wasn't going to wait for his Father to recover his strength and complete his preparations, so he had to combine all the available forces and go with them to Central.

Su Xiao wanted to see exactly the second scenario. If Father really forcibly activated a circle that wasn't completed, he would certainly achieve the desired effect, but the result would be significantly different from what he was able to achieve in the original story, and in fact, Su Xiao would be able to take the pseudo God power away from him without too much trouble.

Now, all Su Xiao had to do was join forces with Olivia and Mustang. After that, they will start a riot that will demolish everything in its path.

They both had very strong armies under them. Mustang's army had participated in the Battle of Ishwar, and all of his subordinates were soldiers who had gone through a large-scale battle.

Olivia's army was even more dangerous, as it was hardened by the harsh climate and many skirmishes with the forces of other countries.

Of course, two armies wouldn't be enough to defeat the forces of a huge country, but did Wrath really control all the forces of this country?

The answer is no.

My father had one major flaw. He didn't really trust anyone and only the sins knew about his plan, but even they didn't know all the details. Although Wrath was now the Fuhrer, ruler, and supreme commander of Amestris with a high reputation, no one knew of his true identity. Once everyone saw the irrefutable evidence that he was a homunculus, a huge number of soldiers would decide to join the rebellion.

The soldiers of Amestris were constantly expanding their country's territory, ignoring the civil wars inside the country. The generals of various regions had long been dissatisfied with King Bradley. If it wasn't for his Father's support, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on to his position.

It wasn't that he was too incompetent, but that his Father's goal was too anti-human. The fact that Wrath was able to hold on to power for so long was, in fact, a miracle.

Although Amestris was a small country, even small countries sometimes had tens and hundreds of millions of people, and only high-ranking people could see the anomalies in their home country?

At first, there was a crazy expansion, after which suddenly the expansion of the country's territories stopped and the era of endless civil wars began.

The already unstable country began to burn, and the already hot situation was supplemented by inter-ethnic conflicts and periodic attacks from other countries.

But my father, having led the country into such a dangerous situation, ignored all this.

After all, he didn't intend to rule the country, but wanted to use it.

My father always looked down on people and thought that people were stupid animals, apparently completely forgetting who he was born to, and who he was originally.

Su Xiao's plan was actually very simple. First, he had to kill his Father's homunculi, then he had to gather allies and use them to start a riot, the goal of which would be to overthrow the current government, which would force his Father to act.

Two-thirds of his plan has already been completed, and the remaining third will be completed soon.

Colonel Mustang was an ambitious man and clearly not opposed to taking the Fuhrer's post, and Olivia wanted to maintain her power in the north, both of which were contrary to her Father's plans.

A civil war was about to break out in Amestris, but this war wasn't instigated by Su Xiao. From the beginning to the present day, the homunculi, together with their Father, did everything to make it flare up, and Su Xiao only provided Amestris ' bonfire with a small spark.

----

In the fortress, conference hall.

It's been a day since Su Xiao killed Leng. His internal injuries had mostly recovered, including his ribs-they had come back up and were no longer causing him any discomfort.

In the conference room, Su Xiao was sitting at a round table. Olivia was sitting at the other end of the table. An old-fashioned telephone sat on the table between them.

— I didn't expect you to be able to convince her, " Mustang's voice came from the phone. Judging by Mustang's tone, he was doing well.

— What do other generals think? Olivia asked Mustang.

— What else can they think? Although they all found out who King Bradley was and found out about their Father's existence, they all didn't make a move.

As soon as his voice trailed off, Olivia slammed her fist down on the table. — Are these pigs stupid?" Are they really going to sit back in this situation?

— They're not that dumb. They are ready to leave Central at any time. At the very least, we'll only be met by Central's personal troops and some nearby troops, for a total of roughly 200,000 soldiers or so.
