Chapter 420: Realizing Death
Two o'clock in the morning.
The streets of Central were brightly lit.
Since the battle was very close to the city, the atmosphere in Central was very depressing.
Food prices skyrocketed, and the value of ordinary currency plummeted.
A dozen figures quickly crossed the street and approached the presidential palace.
— Why isn't anyone guarding it? Olivia stared at the presidential palace, saber in hand.
— He doesn't need guards, " Su Xiao said, and after thinking about his Father's strength, he shook his head.
He was a powerful creature that could kill the strongest homunculi in no time.
Su Xiao's heart sank as he felt the aura of this place.
Right below them, he sensed that there were thousands, if not tens of thousands, of souls hiding.
The presidential palace was empty. Not to mention the guards, there wasn't even a single servant inside.
— Let's go inside, there's no one there, " Su Xiao said and calmly walked towards the presidential palace.
The others followed after a moment's hesitation.
As a result, everyone saw that there was really no one inside, and they began to look for a way down.
— Bubtny, get out of the way, " Su Xiao said and started to warm up, while Bubtny quickly moved away.
— What is he going to do?
Everyone looked at Su Xiao suspiciously.
Su Xiao's fists clenched tightly, and Qing Gang Yin's energy wrapped around his fists, then flashed with a bright light blue light.
— Maybe he wants to...
— He can't be serious...
Su Xiao raised his fist, and in the next instant, he slammed it down on the floor.
*BOOM!*
*Crackle-crackle~*
A large number of cracks appeared in the floor, causing everyone's faces to change.
— What do you do, you will reveal us! Edward shouted.
— We've already been discovered a long time ago.
Mustang sighed and shook his head. Their plan went down the drain.
The cracks became much larger and dust flew into the air.
*Crackle...*
Part of the floor collapsed and everyone saw an open space.
After jumping through the hole, Su Xiao found himself in a corridor with a couple of branches.
Immediately after him, all the others jumped down, but no one knew which way they should go.
Considering that this underground passage was located right under the presidential palace, it must have been very confusing.
— Let's split up, " Su Xiao said, and walked down one of the passageways with Bubtny.
— Stop! Mustang shouted, and Su Xiao looked at him.
— What?
— It's too early to split up, " Mustang said, and looked down.
— The time has already come, and I'm more used to acting alone, " Su Xiao said and disappeared around a bend, causing Mustang's expression to turn a little ugly.
— Is something wrong, Mustang?" Olivia asked.
— Our ally is crazy, too crazy, I really want to turn around and leave right now.
But just as Mustang finished speaking, a strange sound came from the corridor to the right.
It was too late to back up now.
----
Su Xiao, walking along the dim corridor, carefully observed the space around him.
He had a reason for choosing to separate from Mustang and the others at such a moment.
It was never part of his plan to help Mustang and the others fulfill their desires. Although they had the same overall goal, the specific details of their goals varied greatly.
Their alliance was doomed from the start.
Su Xiao needed his Father to activate the circle and absorb the pseudo God power, otherwise, all the things he had done in this world so far would be completely in vain.
Until his Father obtained the pseudo God power Su Xiao couldn't let Mustang and the others defeat him.
And now, walking down the dim corridor, Su Xiao was looking for a person, a very important person.
After walking for a few minutes he saw a light.
Soon, he came out into a bright, open space that was filled with steel pipes.
If the information in the original story was correct, his destination was not far from here.
*Knock, knock, knock...*
Footsteps sounded in the corridor opposite him.
Su Xiao looked at the dimly lit corridor, and when he saw a person approaching, he first frowned and then smiled.
— I didn't expect to meet you here." I can't even tell if it's luck or misfortune, " taking a deep breath, Su Xiao began to tidy up his body.
This time, his enemy was very strong.
An elderly man soon came out of the corridor. His black hair was neatly coiffed on his head, and he had a blindfold over his left eye.
— Explosive Alchemist, no, you should be called Byakuya, alliance creator.
This man is the Fuhrer, ruler, and supreme commander of Amestris, King Bradley!
There were three swords hanging from each side of his belt.
— It doesn't matter, it's just a name after all, " Su Xiao said as he slowly pulled out the Dragon Flash from its scabbard, and a light blue energy immediately ran across the surface of the sword blade.
Immediately after, he narrowed his perception to just three meters, causing it to become much sharper.
Su Xiao came face to face with Anger.
Wrath took a sword in each hand. In fact, Anger wasn't exactly a homunculus — it was only half a homunculus.
Anger is an orphan who was taken under the wing of an organization in his youth, and this organization adopted a large number of orphans like Anger.
This organization trained orphans as future rulers of Amestris, and Wrath was able to stand out among many other candidates, but talent alone wasn't enough — to become the ruler of an entire country, he had to overcome the last hurdle.
After completing the training, the philosopher's Stone was inserted into the Wrath body, which contained the wrath of the Father.
All the other candidates couldn't survive this process, but Wrath didn't give up and eventually became the last homunculus that could age.
Whether it was physical attributes, sword skills, command skills, personal charisma, or strategic thinking, all of these were at the highest level in Wrath.
It was a pity, but some of his allies were pigs, who often only harmed his Father's plans.
Anger was different from other homunculi. Not only could he feel anger, but he could also feel all the other emotions of an ordinary person.
If it weren't for Wrath's efforts, Amestris would have been a purgatory long ago.
And if the Father didn't exist, then Amestris ' Anger might have reached its peak. He was a natural leader.
— Let's fight. I don't have much time left. I am happy that I will be able to fight such a strong opponent in the end.
Although he had the Philosopher's Stone in his body, his life span was significantly shortened for the sake of acquiring superhuman strength.
Living up to this point was already a good result.
Su Xiao didn't respond to his words and only took out the eye of Havana from his inventory.
[Comparison of the parties ' intelligence... the comparison is complete. Your intelligence is 1,285 times higher than the enemy's, statistics will be provided in 100% volume.]

Su Xiao grinned. The anger was much stronger than he expected. None of his five attributes were below 20 points, and his melee weapon proficiency was 'master' and was at level 19.
Also don't underestimate his one eye.
Su Xiao was well aware of the power of his masterful use of edged weapons, after all, he had already seen how strong this ability was more than once with his level 18 master's use of edged weapons, and even though his ability had a very strong complement, their foundation was the same.
Tightly gripping the hilt of his sword, Su Xiao stopped thinking about other things. He now had one goal-to defeat the opponent in front of him, and he wasn't going to die in this fight.
In a battle with such an enemy, one couldn't think of anything else. A person who doesn't focus on a battle of this level will make a fatal mistake sooner or later.
— Sweet eye, you've already experienced death once, right? You see, I had a personal experience of it once, too.
As soon as Anger finished speaking, Su Xiao rushed forward.
