Plunder the Heavens from American Comics

Chapter 79 Philosopher’s Stone

In the forest of Youswil, Yuki had a sad expression on his face.

Holding an axe in his hand, he was chopping down a big tree reluctantly.

Not only was he beaten up yesterday, he was also knocked unconscious for unknown reasons.

Today he had to chop trees in the deep forest with a group of soldiers, and he really couldn't figure out who he had offended.

You will get into trouble with Jonathan, the evil star.

This morning, when the messenger found him, he thought he was saved.

However, unexpectedly, Jonathan was not at all panicked. He asked Dante beside him to contact another android under his command.

Kim Bradley, His Excellency the Grand President of Amestris.

Originally, Yuki thought that since all the troops had arrived, he would definitely win, but he didn't expect a phone call from the Central Command to shatter his fantasy.

The President himself ordered him to obey the orders of the man in front of him named Jonathan.

What happened next was just like the beginning. Commander Yuki stationed 5,000 soldiers in Youswell in the surrounding forests.

Gather wood for Jonathan.

On the other hand, Jonathan also hired a group of local people including Haolin to help him collect iron ore.

Since the little Edward is still recovering from his injuries in Rezainbul, he has not yet officially become a national alchemist.

So at this moment, the iron ore ownership of Youswell is still in the hands of Lieutenant Youki.

However, facing Jonathan's plunder, Yuki not only had no way to deal with it, but also had to face it with a smile.

It seemed like such an honor to be robbed by Jonathan.

Jonathan prepared these iron ore and timber for the development of the dimensional world.

As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers, within three days.

The mobilization of the entire Uswell allowed Jonathan to gather the resources to build a small town.

Then, under the incredible gaze of five thousand soldiers and townspeople.

Jonathan created a huge door at the location where the other party’s resources were, allowing them to move all the resources in.

Since then, the promised moving work of Haolin has been done.

All that remains is to deal with the five thousand soldiers.

Adhering to the principle of not wasting, Jonathan intends to experiment with refining these soldiers into the Philosopher's Stone.

After all, this thing is a strategic reserve for him now, so it is not excessive to refine more.

Moreover, the hands of these Amestorius soldiers were all stained with the blood of the Ishval people.

So Jonathan felt that using them as materials to refine the Philosopher's Stone was a no-brainer.

In other words, Jonathan is also slowly changing during his journey through the heavens.

A few days later, at the garrison training ground.

Jonathan had used telekinesis to carve out a huge alchemy array on the ground.

From the perspective on the ground, it is impossible to see the entire picture of the refining formation.

Only by flying in the air can you get a glimpse of the whole picture.

After completing the arrangement of the alchemy array, Jonathan asked Dante to give orders to Yuki to gather all the soldiers together.

As time went by, all five thousand soldiers appeared on the parade ground.

Not only Lieutenant Yuki, but even the soldiers had complaints about this.

They were already complaining about being forced to do the work of laborers.

If Yuki had not been afraid of losing his position and had not suppressed the situation by force, these soldiers might have started attacking Jonathan long ago.

But obviously, Yuki's crazy flattery did not have any effect.

"Sir, all the soldiers are here. Please give us your orders." Lieutenant Yuki's face was smiling like a chrysanthemum.

With bitterness and reluctance, but in order to please the Central Command, he had no choice but to greet Jonathan with a smile.

"Lieutenant Yuki, you must have had a hard time these days." Jonathan patted Yuki on the shoulder and asked. "No, no, it's not hard." Yuki said quickly.

I couldn't help but curse Jonathan in my heart, you know how hard I work.

"Okay, it won't be hard anymore soon." Jonathan smiled and asked Yuki to wait there for a while.

Not far away, Dante, Selina, Rust and Theresa were there.

Seeing Jonathan coming over, Dante squatted respectfully and said, "Master."

Seeing Jonathan's posture today, Dante also knew that her good master was preparing to refine the Philosopher's Stone.

Although, she no longer needs the Philosopher's Stone to prolong her life.

But this does not prevent every alchemist from pursuing the Philosopher's Stone. After all, it is the only alchemical treasure that can ignore equivalent exchange.

After everything was ready, Jonathan slowly began to activate the alchemy array on the training ground.

As Jonathan moved, a strange red light began to light up from the center of the refining array.

Then the red light slowly spread until it covered the entire training ground.

The soldiers looked at the strange red light and had a bad feeling in their hearts.

However, they were accustomed to obeying orders, so there was only some commotion, and no one ran away.

Even Yuki is in a similar state.

They had never thought that they would be the material for making the Philosopher's Stone.

However, as time went on, they gradually felt something was wrong, and the strength in their bodies seemed to be slowly draining away.

A feeling of fear filled their hearts.

When they came to their senses, they found that their bodies could no longer move normally.

Some soldiers with better physical strength became completely unable to move after moving a few steps.

Then, one by one, the soldiers fell to the ground.

Yuki was also unable to support his body and fell to the ground. He looked up at Jonathan's position and wanted to ask him what he had done.

But obviously, he didn't have the strength to make a sound.

Afterwards, amid the unwillingness, pain, and wailing of the soldiers as they were dying, above the center of the Alchemy Array.

A crystal clear gem that looks like it has blood flowing through it gradually formed.

Seeing this, Dante couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He didn't expect that Jonathan was actually a rare alchemy genius.

Although she knew that Jonathan got alchemy from her.

But this is completely different from refining the philosopher's stone.

In terms of attainments in alchemy, she is actually on par with Hohenheim of Light, but when it comes to refining the Philosopher's Stone.

But only Hohenheim of Light can do it.

Because in order to refine the Philosopher's Stone, in addition to profound knowledge of alchemy, it also requires extraordinary physical strength and mental will.

Even Hohenheim of Light died immediately after refining the Philosopher's Stone for the first time due to his weak body.

And Jonathan was able to form the Philosopher's Stone effortlessly, which is not something that an ordinary alchemist can do.

As the process progressed, the bodies of the soldiers on the ground turned into dust and disappeared into the air.

Their souls, carrying extremely deep resentment, were absorbed by the Philosopher's Stone in the center of the refining array.

Those negative emotions are the source of the power that the Philosopher's Stone uses to create something out of nothing.

When the parade ground was empty, the complete Philosopher's Stone was suspended in the air.

Although it is relatively small in size, it is also a complete philosopher's stone that can be used for soul refining.

Using telekinesis to control the Philosopher's Stone to fly towards him, Jonathan carefully examined this alchemical treasure.

It was crystal clear, with a strange red light flowing inside. This thing looked ominous no matter how you looked at it.
