150. Decision

Edward raised his hand and approached Olivier, “If you do not mind?”

She frowned for a moment before nodding her head. As such, he gently placed his hands near her temples. “This is going to work.”

Immediately afterward, countless pieces of information poured into her mind. After only slightly grunting, she quickly processed the information and learned a basic understanding of the Arcane Empire.

From what magic was to the development of technology, and even a little ...

149. Fort Briggs

Edward Elric sat in a medical room while listening to a female doctor telling him about how he needed to have a special automail because of the cold weather in the north, otherwise, he would freeze to death.

He placed his clothes back on, then complained about how he was forced to pay 100 cents for coffee that was not that good. Then, the door suddenly opened with three people walking in.

“Mr. Bones, you’re also here?”

“Oh, it’s Edward number 2. How have you been d...

148. Existential Crisis

After leaving Xing, Edward did not go anywhere specific, he just teleported to his dimension and continued his work. A few days later, while taking a break, Edward sat in a chair in a room with a large screen in front of him.

On this screen, he watched everything that the Elric brothers went through after their last meeting. And to his astonishment, almost everything occurred as it did in the original anime; his involvement had only a little impact on the overall story.

Although t...

147. False Immortality

After Edward left his dimensions and returned to his manor, he quickly discovered someone from the palace waiting for him. Without saying anything, he entered the carriage that the palace sent and went to see the Empire.

This time, their meeting was not in an open hall, but in a private garden with only him and the Emperor. Of course, Edward could feel the Qi of countless people hiding in the dark. Although they tried to hide their presence, they could not hide from his senses.

Af...

146. Aura Master

During the past few days, Edward not only learned about Alkahestry but also about Xing’s understanding of Qi. Like how to use it to augment the body, how to sense it from your opponent, and how to mask it to hide your presence.

Adding to that the knowledge he learned from the homunculi Wrath, he has developed a good method for the people of the Empire to break the limit of their bodies besides genetic modification--which has a high failure rate.

However, Edward was not satisfi...

145. Alkahestry

After arriving at Xing, Edward did not just enter the country like it was his home; he visited the embassy and showed his visa. Although this country received few visitors because they were all the way east and separated by a vast desert, they still had an embassy.

Additionally, after showing that he was an Alchemist, the reception he received became quite welcoming; too welcoming one might say.

“Wow, I did not know that the people of Xing were so welcoming to outsiders; truly r...

144. Xing

After pondering about it for a while, he decided not to do so. After all, if he succeeded, Morgana would form some kind of connection with the Eye of God, and this kind of thing might be dangerous.

Furthermore, he would rather wait for him to discover the Akashic Record and maybe find a way to connect Morgana to it so that she can get more magical knowledge--instead of focusing on Alchemy.

Nevertheless, Edward still decided to make a new homunculus just like the Dwarf in the Flask...

143. Xerxes

Edward and Hughes were walking in the hot desert for days; while the latter was on the verge of collapse, the former was perfectly fine; he seemed to be enjoying the process.

Edward turned his head to look at the dying Hughes before handing him a bottle: “Drink this.”

“Is this water?” said Hughes as he took a mouthful without waiting for him to answer. Immediately after, he stopped as if in a trance, then he said: “Oh my god, I just tasted color.”

“Delicious...

142. Funeral

“Where am I?” muttered Maes Hughes as he opened his eyes, looking at the room he was in. “Wait, I thought I was dead?”

“Fortunately, you are not,” suddenly said a voice, which slightly startled Hughes. He turned around to look in the direction of the voice, however, all he saw was blurred.

“Your glasses are on the nightstand next to you,” said the voice. As such, Hughes reached out to take them; he had to tap his hand for a few seconds before he reached.

Hugh...

141. Maes Hughes

After reading Wrath’s memories, Edward realized that he was wrong about something. In the anime, Wrath is one of the most powerful villains that the protagonists faced, and he was not even an alchemist. He relied purely on his physical abilities and peak swordsmanship, and even a powerful Alchemist like Colonel Mustang was not his match.

Edward always assumed that his physical prowess was due to the Philosopher’s Stone, but he was wrong. Wrath’s enhanced physical abilities came pu...

140. Fail Species

Al and Ed stood in front of Edward’s house with a solemn look emanating from their bodies.

“Brother, what should we do? Should we…”

“No,” replied Ed. “Just like we promised not to use the stone to get our bodies back, we did not need to walk on Mr. Bones’ path. I believe that we will find a way to get our bodies back; certainly.”

Meanwhile, Lieutenant Hawkeye--who had a puzzling look on her eyes after seeing the Elric brothers suddenly appear out of nowh...

139. Human

Inside his house in central, Edward sat in a chair next to the firehouse reading a book. After a few minutes, he finished the book, put it aside, and took the drink next to him to sip.

“How is it, master?”

“Well, the automail is quite interesting. Although the Empire can regrow limbs, it’s not much use in the medical field. However, for the study of cybernetic enhancement, it should be useful.”

In the Empire, there is a small group of people who study how to tur...

138. The Key Ingredient

Envy slowly walked inside the tunnel that led to the place his Father was; he was in a happy mood as he just finished burning down the Central Library, preventing the Elric Brothers from getting any information regarding the Philosopher’s Stone.

However, as soon as he entered the room, he saw that everyone was looking at Lust and Gluttony with a somewhat somber tone.

“Lust? Did you already get back? Where is the little human girl, or the strange alchemist?” asked Envy.

137. Homunculi

Underneath Central, Fuhrer Bradley stood along with all the other homunculi, waiting respectively while looking at his father.

“You’re saying that there is an alchemist that performed a perfect Human Transmutation to separate a Human Chimera?” asked Father with a calm look in his voice.

“According to the report made by Mustang, it seems so.”

“Did that Alchemist have a Philosopher’s Stone?” asked Envy.

“According to the report, no.”

“The...

136. Introduction

“Full Metal, you need to calm down,” said Mustang, which was his first words ever since Edward showed up.

“Calm down? How can I calm down?” yelled Edward Elric. “This man just recreated a perfect human body through Human Transmutation. No, to be precise, he recreated Nina’s body matter by matter. Not to mention how perfectly he separated her soul.”

“So?” responded Mustang.

“That means that his method could help get our bodies back,” added Alphonse. 2021-11-07 07:57:05 +0000 UTC View Post

135. Tragedy? Not On My Watch

After exiting the meat shop, Edward smiled in satisfaction as his plan was going smoothly. The reason that he went to meet Izumi Curtis was for two reasons: one, when he was stealing knowledge from alchemists’ minds, he did not do so for her and the protagonists of this world: the Elric Brothers.

The reason for that was that these people had opened the Gate truth, so he was worried that his actions would alert Truth. So, he decided to be careful.

So, his meeting with Izumi was a...

134. Philosopher's Stone

After dealing with the issue of the Gate of Truth, Edward began to study this world's Philosopher’s Stone. He had read the mind of its creator, Dr. Macoh, and also sneaked inside the Fifth Laboratory in central and secretly stole all the research inside. In fact, he stole all the research in all the different laboratories.

So, Edward drew the transmutation circle needed to create the stone in his laboratory.

“Since I cannot kill anyone in this world, I’ll have to improvise. ...

V2 CH 133. Gate of Truth

Edward sat in his alchemy laboratory while thinking about his meeting with Truth. He then looked at Morgana and asked: “You’re more sensitive than I am, so what did you sense during our conversation.”

The little elf placed her hand on her chin, making a thinking posture: “Although I did not dare scan him, I did feel something familiar: [Authority]. And it was way more powerful than Herpo.”

“Oh, which one?”

“A lot of them, and maybe all of them.”

E...

132. Human Transmutation

After absorbing and digesting all the knowledge he acquired about Alchemy, Edward was prepared to attempt the ultimate taboo in Alchemy: Human Transmutation.

So, Edward drew the Transmutation Circle along with the Runes for the process. He did not use the same one either Edward Elric or Izumi Curtis used. Instead, he designed it himself based on his understanding of the human body and Life Code.

That way, Edward knew for sure that he could create a perfect body with Alchemy. In fa...

Volume 2: Ch131. Alchemy

Edward sat in a chair in front of a fireplace. Numerous books floated in front of him as their pages kept flipping on their own. And as quickly as those pages flipped, as quickly as Edward absorbed the information inside.

Once he was finished, he muttered to himself: “Damn those Alchemists. All of them are so paranoid that all their research is in code, making waste so much time and effort.”

After complaining, he walked to one of the empty rooms. He took a piece of chalk, then...

Volume 2: Ch 130. New World

The World Gate floated in the white space known as the Void; this place which was the space between universes was quite a beautiful sight to see. However, Edward had no time to admire it.

“Morgana, first activate the Camouflage Enchantments.”

“As you command, master,” said the little purple-haired elf. Immediately after that, the Gate turned white and blended into the surrounding. If anyone were to come next to it, they would think that they were just looking at the Void...

129. Departure

The Void Drive is a new engine designed by Arthur and Edward together, to replace the old one that the Empire’s spaceship functioned on. The old engine--which was called the Apparition Drive--was essentially designed to use Apparition to teleport the spaceships to different parts of the universe.

However, this engine had a problem as it required a massive amount of energy to function. The further the distances needed to apparate, the more mana needed. With the Philosopher’s Stone as...

128. The Launch

In the 4th Tower, Edward and Amelia met Nicolas Flamel and his wife, who were the Tower Masters. The two led Edward to a floor that had an enormous city with powerful mana emanating from it.

Many people could be seen working on the city as it was unfinished. Strange machines controlled by wizards could be seen engraving small letters on the ground, the buildings, or the towers in the city. Wizards used their staff to directly enchant some places.

“As you can see, your majesty, P...

127. Inspection (V)

3rd Tower:

In front of the Tower’s entrance, a beautiful woman with silvery blonde hair that fell nearly to her waist. Her large blue eyes displayed a little nervousness. Just like Hermione, she was wearing a gorgeous [Robe of the Archmagi].

After arriving, Edward kissed her as well, however, unlike Hermione, Fleur Delacour did not admonish him for his behavior, nor was she embarrassed by the public display of affection. Truth be told, she became calmer after the interaction. 2021-10-29 04:18:41 +0000 UTC View Post

126. Inspection (IV)

1st Tower:

Edward walked inside with the council delegates following him. The first thing they saw was a breathtakingly beautiful woman dressed similar to Edward. Her magic robe shone with magical light, giving her both a regal and mighty presence.

Without caring about anyone else, Edward hugged her and kissed her. After lightly reciprocating, Hermione said: “You’re in front of people, act more appropriately.”

“Why do people keep telling me to behave? As a ruler, sho...

125. Inspection (III)

9th Tower, the Council delegates walked inside to see someone waiting for him. However, that person was not dressed properly and only had a regular shirt and jeans with a lab coat on.

“Tower Master George Weasley, where is your brother?”

“I’m Fred.”

“Sorry about the mistake.”

“No problem. As for my brother, our shop is having a week-long discount, so he’s attending to it.”

The council members were speechless after hearing this.

“Oh, di...

124. Inspection (II)

A man dressed in armor with a sword in his side rushed to the delegation where Edward and the Council members were, yelling: “Your majesty, your majesty, I just want a few minutes of your time.”

However, none of the guards listened to him. They gave him a warning not to approach, but the guy did not listen. So, the members of the Royal Guards attacked.

One of them created a fireball ten meters in diameter, rushing straight to that oncoming visitor. However, the guy took out ...

123. Inspection (I)

After taking a shower, Edward went to the dining room where he saw Rowena sitting and waiting for him with a table full of different kinds of dishes from different parts of the world.

Like Edward, she was wearing [The Robe of Archmage] from DND, but hers was blue, while Edward’s was white and grey. Powerful magic could be felt from these clothes due to how powerful they were.

“My Empress,” said Edward as he kissed her on the cheek, to which she just smiled at him.

“H...

122. Preparation

A small floating island that was invisible to the naked eyes traveled in the clouds. Vast energy emanated from it. In the middle of the island lies a palace that looks eerily similar to Asgard’s Palace from the MCU.

This was the Royal Palace of the Arcane Empire, the residence of the Emperor, Edward Bones. In one of the main bedrooms, he sat with his eyes closed, while his long black hair reached his back.

Suddenly, he opened his deep blue eyes and muttered: “Another defeat.�...

121. Ten Ring Council (III)

After reading the document, the new council member quickly realized that he might have made a mistake that would cost him his career, so he apologized.

The meeting then continued:

“How is the research on cracking the Reincarnation Spell that the leader of the Death Cult used?” asked Amelia.

One of the reasons that this cult is so hard to remove is because their leader used a special spell that allowed them to reincarnate after death: to be precise, the spell chooses a ra...
