Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 428: Chapter 44: The Conspiracy Behind the Conspiracy

”Impossible, how could the Power of God reject me.”

The Little Man in the Bottle stood motionless, allowing the attacks from the five Human Pillars.

A layer of invisible energy enveloped the Little Man in the Bottle.

”Keep attacking him, he no longer has an Amestris Philosopher’s Stone inside, only a ’Kestadis Kingdom People’s’ Philosopher’s Stone remains.”

Although Von Hoenheim’s words were a bit convoluted, Edward understood immediately.

The only Philosopher’s Stone left inside the Little Man in the Bottle was one previously stored, and before a new Philosopher’s Stone could form, it dissipated, with those tens of millions of souls returning to their own bodies.

Now the core of the Little Man in the Bottle is the Power of God, and the Philosopher’s Stone is the energy he needs to use the core.

Without energy, he can’t use the Power of God, and not only that, the Little Man in the Bottle also needs to use energy to suppress the Power of God.

Not to mention launching attacks, even moving was strenuous for the Little Man in the Bottle, his veins bulged all over his body, his face fierce.

Bang, bang...

The five Human Pillars used all their strength, yet the Little Man in the Bottle stood unmoving.

At this point, the Little Man in the Bottle was more anxious than the five Human Pillars, although no new Philosopher’s Stone had formed, he could barely suppress the Power of God with the Philosopher’s Stone he previously obtained, at least enough to regain the ability to move freely.

Raising the hand to create a sun was no longer possible, but the Little Man in the Bottle’s combat strength still far surpassed the five Human Pillars.

The awkward thing was, the Little Man in the Bottle couldn’t move, he had activated an incomplete Refining Array, forcibly dragging the Power of God into his body.

After much arduous effort to drag the Power of God into his body, just as he gained this power, the two million souls inside him were released.

One must say, the Little Man in the Bottle had an extremely strong mental fortitude, he didn’t go mad after such upheavals.

It’s like a cultivator in a novel, after years of practice, passing the heavenly tribulation to ascend to the Immortal Realm, only to find out he didn’t have enough authority upon arrival, needing to pay 998 for full ascension, how could just an ’oh my’ describe such feelings.

Edward and others continued their attacks, depleting the Philosopher’s Stone inside the Little Man in the Bottle rapidly.

A few minutes later, Edward clapped his hands on the ground, a thorn of earth speared toward the Little Man in the Bottle.

The Little Man in the Bottle sidestepped it, causing the five Human Pillars to pause, this guy could move now, and evading attacks meant the energy inside him was running low.

The Little Man in the Bottle’s expression was extremely fierce, looking angrily at Hohenheim.

”Why, even as my blood kin you want to stop me, even at the very last moment, I never thought of killing you.”

When the Little Man in the Bottle first performed National Transmutation, he put half of the obtained Philosopher’s Stone inside Hohenheim, giving him immortality.

”Blood kin? No, you and I are both mistakes.”

Hearing Hohenheim’s words, murderously intent finally welled up in the Little Man in the Bottle’s eyes.

At this moment, all kinds of emotions returned to the Little Man in the Bottle, as he needed emotions to become a complete being.

Sizzle.

The sound of shrinking metal wires came, and the Little Man in the Bottle was bound by metal wires.

The Philosopher’s Stone inside him was nearly exhausted; except for energy suppressing the Power of God, the energy he could use wasn’t much.

The Little Man in the Bottle stretched out his arms, and with a snap, the Boundary Line snapped apart.

Clang!

A flash of blade light cut down from above, and the head of the Little Man in the Bottle flew up, full of astonishment, he couldn’t fathom how a ’mortal’ could wound him.

Red lightning danced at the Little Man in the Bottle’s neck.

”Well done!”

Edward’s master, Izumi Curtis, clenched her fists, this slash was really a stroke of genius, both the timing and striking position were impeccable.

Su Xiao had hidden for this slash beside the pit above for a long time, he had actually arrived earlier but hadn’t moved.

Though the Little Man in the Bottle’s head was chopped off, his recovery power was strong, and it wouldn’t take more than a few seconds for him to restore his head.

As the Little Man in the Bottle’s head was chopped off, Su Xiao landed, and as soon as he landed, he charged toward the Little Man in the Bottle.

In front of the Little Man in the Bottle, Su Xiao didn’t continue attacking, he now had a small bottle in his hand of about a finger’s length.

[Magic Crystal Bottle]

...

Su Xiao holding the Magic Crystal Bottle rushed in front of the Little Man in the Bottle.

Pfft.

Su Xiao directly inserted the Magic Crystal Bottle into the neck of the Little Man in the Bottle, whose head had only half regenerated at this point.

Suddenly, the Little Man in the Bottle’s recovery stopped, standing still like a sculpture.

[Divine Power (Fake) collecting, collected 1%, 2%, 3%...]

The progress was not fast nor slow, within thirty seconds at most, the Magic Crystal Bottle can fully collect the Divine Power.

There wasn’t the imagined final battle with the ultimate BOSS, Su Xiao killed so many homunculi, then allied with Mustang and Olivier for what purpose? The answer was to weaken the power of the Little Man in the Bottle.

He used the characters from the story to deal with the Little Man in the Bottle, in the end ’picking the peach’ for himself.

While the Magic Crystal Bottle collected the power of God, Su Xiao completed the achievement task ”Sentence”, though Sentence was only completed (6/7), and Pride was nearby, but he had no time.

Su Xiao had no time to review the rewards for the achievement task ”Sentence”, his eyes were fixed on the five Human Pillars.

”Why did the Little Man in the Bottle suddenly stop moving?”

”Not sure, Bai Ye must have used some method.”

Edward and Hohenheim’s discussion caught Mustang’s attention.

Mustang had been forcibly subjected to Human Transmutation; the price was his sight, he couldn’t see anything.

”Who? Bai Ye?”

Though Mustang’s eyes were sightless, he could hear.

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

Edward recounted the situation to Mustang, and upon hearing that Su Xiao insert a bottle into the Little Man in the Bottle, Mustang’s hairs stood on end.

The other Human Pillars didn’t see anything unusual not because they were dimwitted, but because they didn’t know Su Xiao, but Mustang had worked with him and understood Su Xiao’s ways.

”Stop him!”

Mustang shouted, and the other four Human Pillars froze, somewhat puzzled, Su Xiao was clearly stopping the Little Man in the Bottle.

”Don’t ask me why, that guy must be up to something, he might be trying to replace the Little Man in the Bottle and become God himself.”

The few Human Pillars were shocked, just as they were preparing to attack Su Xiao, he tightened the Boundary Line.

Previously, only a small section of the Boundary Line snapped, over a hundred meters long, breaking a small piece was nothing major.

As he tightened the Boundary Line, a figure covered in blood was pulled through the hole above.

This was a blonde beauty with a well-proportioned body, dressed in a blue military uniform.

Su Xiao dragged the woman in his hand, the blond beauty’s hair hung loosely and her breaths were faint.

As the few Human Pillars paused their attacks, Edward instinctively looked to Mustang.

”What’s going on, attack him quickly! Point me the way, I’ll go myself.”

Unable to see, Mustang was very anxious.

”Colonel... Lieutenant Lisa Hokai was taken hostage by him.”

Hearing this, Mustang’s jaw muscles clenched prominently.

”Flame Alchemist Bai Ye!”
