Plunder the Heavens from American Comics

Chapter 96 Sage's Blade

"What do you mean by "things"? Kid, watch your words or don't blame me if you get beaten!" Jonathan looked at Edward unhappily.

After hearing what Jonathan said, Edward turned his face to the other side a little awkwardly.

Then he continued to ask, "You just said that you want to feed them the Philosopher's Stone. Does that mean you also have the Philosopher's Stone?"

Jonathan didn't hide it and said directly, "Yes, but in fact, you can also feed them semi-finished products. You haven't seen semi-finished products yet."

"Here, take one for each of you as a gift from dad." After saying that, Jonathan took out two semi-finished Philosopher's Stones the size of glass beads.

They were sent to the two brothers using telekinesis.

"Um, sir. We don't know what to address you yet." Although Alphonse felt it was a bit strange for Jonathan to call him their father.

But out of politeness, he still asked how to address Jonathan.

"My name is Jonathan Lee. Of course, because of Theresa, you can also call me dad."

After saying that, Jonathan hugged Theresa's waist again.

Watching this scene, Alphonse turned his head shyly and touched his head, pretending not to see the intimacy between the two.

When Edward heard Jonathan asking them to call him dad, he got a little angry and shouted, "Who wants to call you dad?"

Hearing this, Jonathan shrugged.

After all, he was just having a bad temper and didn't really want the two brothers to call him dad.

But after complaining, Edward's expression became serious.

He stared at Jonathan and asked in a deep voice, "So your way of restoring our bodies is to use the Philosopher's Stone to transfer our souls back to the bodies created by that technology called cloning?"

"As expected of Edward, he is really smart." Jonathan applauded.

Edward and Alphonse had only seen a partial description of the Philosopher's Stone in the book left to them by Hohenheim the Light.

I only know that this thing can ignore the principle of equal exchange and be refined.

Other information is almost unknown.

They haven't even started trying to use the Philosopher's Stone to take back their bodies.

Since the clones were cultured from Edward's somatic cells, with Curtis's level, it would take more than ten years for the embryos to grow into human form.

Therefore, this deal is destined to be a long-term deal, unless Jonathan obtains more advanced cloning technology in other technological worlds in the future.

Of course, all this had been explained to Edward in advance, and the other party agreed.

Looking at the manuscript in his hand that Edward wrote based on his memories.

Jonathan put it away with satisfaction.

Perhaps due to his childish innocence, Edward did not suspect that Jonathan would take the things without paying, so he simply gave Jonathan the method of soul attachment.

Of course, Jonathan wouldn't be so mean as to deceive a child.

After giving Edward some money for the trip back from the world behind the door, Jonathan sent them back to the world of Fullmetal Alchemist.

The next thing to do is to discuss it with Scar.

Central Library - Branch 1.

A guard stopped a brown-skinned man wearing black sunglasses.

The man's hair has a small patch of white.

Jonathan recognized at a glance that this was the target he was looking for.

"Ska, I have something I want to talk to you about." Jonathan came directly to Scar and said.

The guard felt that Jonathan looked strangely familiar.

"Who are you! I don't know you!" Scar was very vigilant and very alert to Jonathan.

"Don't you want to know the real meaning of this arm your brother gave you?" Jonathan suddenly said.

Hearing Jonathan mention his brother, Scar was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jonathan a little angrily and said, "What do you know!"

Now Scar still doesn't understand why his brother forced this arm, which represents a curse, on him.

In fact, this arm contains the souls of all the Ishbals who died in the Ishbal Civil War.

Scar just thought it was a cursed arm.

Because in the teachings of Ishval, anyone who uses or learns the great art is a traitor.

They will be cursed for life.

In fact, from a certain perspective, the ancestors of the Ishval people may be the first group of people to understand the truth.

It's just that they are kind-hearted, so they forbade their descendants to continue using the great art, that is, alchemy.

After all, this is a technology that uses human life as its driving energy.

Therefore, it is very likely that the Ishval people knew long ago that the price of using alchemy was the lives of people in the world behind the door.

Otherwise, they would not have made rules prohibiting future generations from using alchemy even though they knew it was convenient.

"Let me put it this way, I want to have your arm. In other words, I am the one who can free you from the curse." Jonathan thought about it and changed his way of speaking.

Hearing this, Scar calmed down a little, looked at Jonathan doubtfully and asked, "Really?"

The reason why he wanted to break into the first branch was just to find out how to remove these tattoos, which was the so-called curse.

"There's no need for me to lie to you. If you want to get rid of the curse, come with me." After saying that, Jonathan ignored Scar.

After using telekinesis to strangle the neck of the guard next to him, he left the place.

"You! Why did you kill him?" Scar is not yet the cold-blooded and ruthless State Alchemist killer he will be in the future.

"Why? Why did the soldiers of Amestorius want to massacre the Ishval people?" Jonathan asked back.

Scar was speechless when asked.

He looked down at the dead soldier on the ground, hatred flashed in his heart, and then he followed Jonathan's steps.

The two came to a dark alley.

Jonathan casually created a pseudo-Gate of Truth.

Then he took Scar into the dimensional world.

Like Edward, when Scar came in for the first time, he was also staring at the surroundings and the strange sky in amazement.

"Where is this place?"

Scar is not a fool, so he can naturally see that this is definitely not Sendra.

"This is my world." Jonathan said without turning his head.

"Your world? What does that mean? Are you a god?" As a believer, Scar habitually attributes everything to theology.

As alchemists who play a role similar to scientists in the world of Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward and Alphonse have never thought about this aspect.

Regarding Scar's question, Jonathan naturally believed that he was still a human being, but he did not argue.

After all, if Scar regarded him as a god, it would definitely be beneficial to him.

I brought Scar to a wooden house, which was built not long ago.

There was nothing inside, just the mechanical armor that Curtis had used before and a pitch-black Tang sword.

This was custom-made for Jonathan when he went back to the Marvel world.

The whole body is forged with tungsten steel and has the shape of a traditional Tang Dynasty horizontal sword.

Of course, this is not the complete version of the knife yet.

"These robotic arms will replace your right hand in the future." Jonathan said, pointing to the robotic arms on the table.

The Ishval people have no aversion to mechanical prosthetics.

So Scar nodded, and then asked anxiously, "How can I solve the curse on my hand?"

"The curse can't be undone," said Jonathan.

After all, there are hundreds of thousands of Ishval people's souls in it, so it is not so easy to eliminate them.

"So the only thing we can do is transfer the curse, and this weapon is the new carrier of the curse."

After saying that, Jonathan pulled out Tang Hengdao.

Scar looked at the Tang sword in Jonathan's hand, and then looked at his right hand. After all, this arm once belonged to his brother.

For a moment, it seemed a little reluctant.

But as a traditional Ishval, Scar thought for a moment and then firmly extended his right hand.

Seeing his look, Jonathan smiled with satisfaction.

Then he said, "Don't worry, I will take you to another place to perform the transfer ceremony."

After that, Jonathan took Scar to the room where Edward had taken samples before.

Because Last and Curtis had received Jonathan's advance instructions, they had already been waiting for the two men in the laboratory.

Having Rast as an assistant is also one of Jonathan's bad tastes.

After all, it’s no news that Scar has a crush on his brother’s girlfriend.

So the moment Scar saw Rast, he froze.

However, he did not say anything, but became more convinced in his heart that Jonathan was God.

After all, apart from gods, who else can be served by the dead?
Obviously, he mistook Rast for his dead sister-in-law.

"The process may be a bit painful, please bear with it." Holding the Tang knife, Jonathan said to Scar lying on the operating table.

Scar nodded expressionlessly.

In his heart, there was no greater pain than the scar Kimblee left on his face.

Then, Jonathan swung the Tang sword in his hand and cut off Scar's right hand.

The strange thing was that after it left Scar's right hand, it did not fall directly to the ground.

Instead, it was suspended in mid-air, emitting a strange red light.

Jonathan quickly activated the Philosopher's Stone Refining Array that had been engraved on the Tang sword.

Through resonance, the soul on Scar's right hand was absorbed by the Tang sword bit by bit in the form of threads.

Seeing that everything was going as he expected, Jonathan was very satisfied.

With this Tang sword, whenever Jonathan used it to kill someone, he could absorb the dead person's soul directly into the blade.

Become part of the Philosopher's Stone.

Now, the souls of hundreds of thousands of Ishval people are madly pouring into the blade.

The dark red lines make the already pitch-black blade look even more evil.

From now on, this Tang sword will be truly a sage's blade!
