Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

Gratoni, whose hands had been cut into pieces, had now recovered and noticed Isaac.

"Isaac...I'm going to eat you!"

"Eat me? You think you can?" Isaac sneered.

"what!!"

Gratoni roared and lunged at Isaac, only to be shattered into pieces once again in mid-air.

"Fighting you androids is getting more and more boring. You're all useless but have big mouths." Isaac sheathed his sword.

Those around them were stunned by the fight between the two.

A monster that could constantly repair its body had utterly defeated them, but now it was powerless against Isaac.

They had never known how strong Isaac was, but seeing his effortless fighting against this monster, they looked at Isaac as if he were an even more powerful monster.

Isaac's power has exceeded their common sense.

Mima watched Isaac's fighting stance in silence, thankful that his enemy wasn't the man before him. If Isaac were his enemy, there would be no chance of survival for them.

He recalled being stabbed by his father when he was a child. His father made up an excuse that it was because he was afraid of him. At that time, Mima could not understand his father's thoughts, but now he understands them a little.

He dared not make an enemy of the person in front of him.

Watching Isaac fight, Wuming felt a pang of emotion, a feeling akin to when her brother had rescued her from a crazed villain years ago. As he pulled Wuming behind him, he gazed at the man's back.

I have a general feeling that...it is very reliable.

Gratoni had now fully recovered. His face grew even angrier.

"Isaac!!"

With his roar, a gash suddenly split open on his enormous belly, slowly opening like a giant mouth, from which a huge eye suddenly emerged.

"This is..." Isaac felt a sense of familiarity when he saw the eyes inside his stomach, like...

"Roar!!"

With a roar from Gratoni, immense air pressure erupted from the large mouth on his stomach.

The immense impact tore a deep trench in the ground.

The wind pressure forced everyone to close their eyes, and when they opened them again, they found that Isaac was gone.

At the same time, there may not necessarily be an anonymous one.

Chapter 160: There are no strong people in this world

The loud noise attracted the attention of nearby soldiers.

"What happened?"

The soldier in the lead was Habock, who gasped as he saw the huge trench in the ground. Had some great battle taken place here?

Then they saw a large, fat man slowly close the mouth on his stomach.

Habock looked at the still-stunned Mima Tentori and asked, "What just happened here? Was anyone fighting here?"

Mima also came to his senses and explained, "That monster just descended from the sky and fought with us. Just now, it swallowed my subordinate and Brigadier General."

"What!?"

Habock immediately pointed his gun at Gratoni, and the surrounding soldiers also raised their guns, watching the monster warily.

After eating Isaac and his companions, Gratoni lost interest and sat on the ground yawning.

Violet arrived just then, and finding Isaac nowhere to be seen, she hurriedly asked, "Where is Brigadier General Isaac? Where is he?!"

When Habock saw Violet, his face showed some pain. He pointed to Gratoni in front of him and said in a low voice, "It is said that... the Brigadier General was swallowed by this monster."

Violet was stunned by these words and stood there for a moment, at a loss for words.

"No...no..." Violet murmured, her head bowed.

“Warrant Lieutenant, I know how you feel right now. The Brigadier General’s fate is unknown, and now…” Habock tried to comfort him.

"Give the comrade back!!" Violet suddenly drew a short sword from her waist and charged towards Gratoni, her face filled with anger, unlike her usual calm demeanor.

"Warrant Officer! Calm down!" Hubble warned, then shouted to the soldiers behind him, "What are you all standing there for! Cover the Warrant Officer!"

"Yes!" The soldiers also gathered around.

Violet rushed in front of Gratoni, and before he could react, she swiftly decapitated him with a short knife.

呲!

Gratoni, headless, coughed up a lot of blood and collapsed to the ground.

But that wasn't the end of it. Violet plunged a knife into Gratoni's stomach, slashing open a large gash and tearing the wound open.

"Brigadier General Isaac! Where is he? Where is he?!" Violet, ignoring the blood splattered on her, searched inside Gratoni's body, which she had ripped open.

The head that had fallen to the ground had turned to ashes, and with the red lightning flashing on the corpse, Gratoni grew another head, and the wound on his stomach slowly healed.

Upon seeing Gratoni restored, Violet instantly knocked him to the ground, held a knife to him, and shouted, "Where is Brigadier General Isaac! Tell me now!"

“Isaac… was eaten.” Gratoni laughed. “Now… I’m going to eat you!”

However, before he could make a move, a black-haired girl suddenly rushed over and cut him in half with a single slash.

"Hey! Violet! Was what he just said true?" Lanfang grabbed Violet's collar and questioned her.

“Brigadier General Isaac…” Violet did not answer Lan Fang’s question, her eyes somewhat unfocused.

"Damn it!" Lan Fang put Violet down, tears welling in her eyes as she looked at Gratoni, her expression filled with rage and murderous intent.

You deserve to die!

A great battle was about to break out. Lanfang's swift movements made it impossible for Gratoni to keep up; the knife in her hand flipped constantly, killing him twice in the blink of an eye.

Just as Lan Fang launched her whirlwind offensive, Violet stood frozen in place, recalling every moment she had shared with Isaac since their first meeting. She was Isaac's subordinate, his adjutant, yet he had consistently protected her.

'You are my best subordinate, my future adjutant, and I will never leave you, now or in the future.'

Violet's eyes suddenly lit up, and she covered the black gem that Isaac had given her.

“The brigadier general is not dead. He promised he wouldn’t leave me!” Her eyes were filled with determination.

Without hesitation, she rushed toward Gratoni.

The group started fighting again.

--------

Isaac found himself in a pitch-black space he had never seen before, with liquid covering his feet, which, judging from the smell, was probably human blood.

"Where is this place?"

Isaac was very uncomfortable in this pitch-black place, so he activated his mechanical eye.

Looking around, I found that this was a vast space that seemed to have no end, with a sea of ​​blood beneath my feet.

"This is?"

Isaac pulled a club-shaped object from the sea of ​​blood into his hand.

Human bones?

Looking around, there seemed to be many human bones; it seemed that many people had died here.

Isaac clasped his hands together, and the bones in his hands burst into flames, turning into a torch. The bones contained a large amount of phosphorus, which could be ignited.

The flickering firelight illuminated the surrounding space, which contained numerous dilapidated houses.

Isaac, holding a torch, looked around and found a figure lying in a sea of ​​blood.

It is nameless.

"Hey, are you still alive?" Isaac walked over and shook the nameless man's shoulder.

Wuming slowly woke up, and after seeing Isaac, he became a little more awake and asked, "Where is this?"

“I don’t know, it seems we’ve been swallowed up by Gratoni,” Isaac said. “Let’s look around for an exit.”

"Stomach? Is that monster's stomach that big?" Wuming stood up and followed Isaac.

"After all, he's an artificial human; who knows what special abilities he might have?" Isaac held a torch and shone it around, surrounded by ruins of buildings.

After a moment of silence, Wuming whispered, "Am I really too weak?"

“Yeah, you’re super weak,” Isaac said casually.

"..."

“The weak have their own way of living, and you don’t need to care,” Isaac said.

“But my elder brother said that only the strong can survive in this world, and it is only natural for the weak to die,” Wuming retorted.

"Isn't your older brother doing just fine now?" Isaac completely ignored the nameless man and continued searching for an exit. "Just listen to his nonsense and don't delve into it."

"Are you trying to say that my elder brother is weak?!" Wuming shouted.

She wouldn't allow anyone to speak ill of her brother, even though he had saved her life.

"He's so weak I can't even bear to look at him. Does he have the audacity to call himself strong?" Isaac said, pointing to himself. "Who do you think is stronger, him or me?"

“This…” Wuming also recalled the research report that Siwen had given to Meima. He knew that Isaac had the power to destroy a post station in an instant.

“Then when have I ever called myself a strong person?” Isaac asked. “The so-called strong person is only relative. There are no truly strong people in this world.”

Chapter 161: The Exit

"There are no strong people in the world?" Wuming looked somewhat confused when he heard Isaac's words.

He had always been taught by his older brother the philosophy of "the strong live, the weak die," but Isaac immediately rejected it.

If anyone else had said this, Wuming would probably have scoffed, but since it was Isaac, the undisputed strongman in her eyes, who said it, it was highly credible.

“Big fish eat little fish, little fish eat shrimp, the law of the jungle is the law of the world, but have you ever thought about what would happen if there were only big fish left?” Isaac said. “That’s the cycle.”

After listening, Wuming pondered silently.

Isaac continued, "This world doesn't function because of so-called strong people, but because of everything. No matter how powerful we become, we cannot change the laws governing the world. That is the law."

“You, me, and Mima Tentori are all just insignificant parts of this world. No matter who dies, it won’t affect the world’s operation,” Isaac said. “There are no so-called strong people in the world. There are only the cornerstones of the world’s operation, big and small. Every being that you see as weak is a part of the world.”

Wuming didn't speak, but just listened quietly.
