Chapter 423.2: God
But he had to activate this circle and absorb as many souls as he could, or else all of his works would be destroyed.
And my father didn't understand why a plan that had been going so smoothly to its perfect conclusion until now was suddenly starting to come apart at the seams.
Due to the fact that my Father had been underground for a hundred years, his idea of people had finally reached its peak. All humans were now equal to ants that were only good for gathering energy, and these ants were naturally no match for him.
The souls of 20 million people entered Father's body and turned into the philosopher's Stone, causing Father's body to grow rapidly.
Soon, his body broke through the ceiling along with the building of the presidential palace and he stood right under the night sky, becoming a real giant in the end.
The moon in the sky turned into a round black ball at that moment.
The best time to activate such a large alchemy circle was during a total solar eclipse, followed by night.
The father continued to grow in size, and a moment later, one of his purple-black hands reached up to the sky.
— GOD! A deep, powerful voice suddenly came from my Father. - ANSWER THE CALL OF MY SOUL!
A white line appeared in the center of the round black ball in the sky, and it was as if a door had opened in it.
Inside the door, it was pitch black. On the other side of the door was only one giant eye with a white base and a gray pupil.
This door is the Gate of Truth and the foundation of all alchemy.
Black shadow tentacles began to break out of the Gate of Truth and try to drag Father into the Gate of Truth.
If it had been any other ordinary alchemist, the Gate of Truth would have pulled him in in an instant, but it was powerless against a Father with over 20 million souls in his body.
The father, seeing this, laughed out loud and grabbed the shadow tentacles sticking out of the Gate of Truth and began to pull them towards him, wanting to pull "God" into this world.
— SHOW UP!" I WILL BRING YOU DOWN FROM HEAVEN TO EARTH, AND YOU WILL BECOME A PART OF ME!
The Eye of Truth slowly began to be drawn towards the Gate, and a white light enveloped the Father, after which a powerful energy abruptly spread throughout the surrounding area.
*BOO-Oo-Oo-M!*
A powerful flow of energy swept through the capital of Amestris and a large number of houses near the presidential palace were pulverized.
----
Under the Presidential Palace.
Su Xiao was almost knocked out by a powerful energy pulse just now.
Fortunately, he hadn't even thought about being able to take on his Father alone from the start. If he really came here alone, he would even have a one percent chance of winning.
The father was now a " God." Of course, he became a false God, he only became the God of the Steel Alchemist world.
And in fact, Father only absorbed "God" and locked his power in his body. In fact, his body became the receptacle of God, and he did not become "God" in the literal sense of the word.
The absorption of the souls of the inhabitants of Amestris did not go exactly according to my Father's plan, but the second phase still went as planned.
On the lowest floor below the presidential palace, Father sat on his throne with a relaxed expression, only his lower body covered by a white cloth.
Edward and the other important characters woke up one by one.
— What happened?
— What an eerie silence...
— Silence?! Have you turned everyone into a Philosopher's stone?!
All five of them looked warily at their Father not far away.
My father had a perfect body and now he looked like Van Hohenheim when he was still young.
— "Yes," my Father said, his face expressionless. Most of his emotions were lost along with the death of the six sins.
Edward and the others wanted to use alchemy, but to their horror, they found that they couldn't activate it.
— You will no longer be able to use alchemy, and even more so, open the Gate, " the Father raised his hand and a red ball appeared above his palm, which was actually a miniature sun.
Edward and the others were stunned.
— You... Hohenheim pretended to be surprised, but he was actually waiting for the second circle to activate.
The circle my father had created was a replica of the circle he had created the first time, when my Father was still a creature in a bottle.
— With the power of the Lord God, I can even create a Sun in the palm of my hand!
Just as the Father was about to destroy his final obstacle, his eyes suddenly widened.
— Hm?
— Did you finally feel it? The beating of millions of hearts that rang out all this time. A person is not only a body and soul! I've been preparing for this day for years! Hohenheim roared and activated the second part of the circle. — The time has come!
— YOU WOULDN'T DARE, HOHENHEIM!
— THAT'S WHAT I'M HERE FOR, MY TEST-TUBE FRIEND!
Countless souls began to burst out of my Father's body and flew into the air in a torrent.
Immediately after, they began to spread throughout Amestris.
Su Xiao looked at the large number of souls in the sky and his heartbeat started to speed up.
They succeeded. Although the Father had mastered the power of God, he had lost the energy with which he could control it.
— It's time to eliminate the unstable factors.
Due to the activation of the last part of the circle, all the contractors in the Steel Alchemist world started moving.
Su Xiao never thought that he would be able to kill all these contractors. It was impossible, but at least he would be able to kill the most active ones, which would buy him some time at such an important moment.
There was only one step left for him to complete his mission.
