Su Xiao picked up the Treasure Chest, which no one saw.
Su Xiao didn’t care about everyone but Olivier as he looked at her.
“This is a Homunculus. Like you said, seeing is believing.”
Su Xiao didn’t have to exin anything anymore since she saw how Sloth recovered his lost limbs many times.
“We will cooperate.”
Before, Olivier was hesitating because she wasn’t sure of the information, but now, everything was clear.
Now they were allies against the Dwarf In The sk.
However, Su Xiao was still cautious of any contractor, in fear of ruining everything.
Olivier didn’t want Su Xiao against her; she saw how strong he was and didn’t know anyone that strong.
But such a muscr fellow said that the Dwarf in the sk was strong, so how strong was that?
Sessfully allying with Olivier advanced the n by arge leap.
Su Xiao’s Quest was capturing the power of God (fake) that the Dwarf in the sk was using, rather than defeating him.
If it was just defeating him, Su Xiao could’ve done it by sneaking in and getting him there. Even though the Dwarf in the sk was strong, Su Xiao was confident in taking him down.The current Dwarf in the sk didn’t obtain that power of God (fake) yet, and he would obtain itter.
The Quest gave him a headache because he needed to defeat the Dwarf in the sk after the nationwide transmutation circle was activated.
And here is the problem, after activating the transmutation circle, the Dwarf in the sk would be extremely powerful. He could even say it was exaggerated.
Su Xiao’s goal from the start was to hunt the Homunculi, not to just gain the World’s Origin and Treasure Chest, but also to speed up the activation of the Transmutation Circle.
Since five of the seven Homunculi are dead, the Dwarf in The sk who can’t leave the underground base would surely feel something wrong.
The remaining Homunculi were important, one was monitoring Central City, which is pride, and the other was themander King Bradley, or Wrath.
Those two can’t leave Central City, which will make the arrangement stagnate.
And with Sloth now dead, the Dwarf in The sk had two options, one was to wait patiently, and the other was to activate the Transmutation Circle forcefully.
Su Xiao was hoping for the second option. Since the Transmutation circle wasn’tplete, the Dwarf in the sk would obtain the Power of God (fake) with the equivalent exchangew, but he wouldn’t be as strong as he originally would be.
He needed to make sure the Dwarf in the sk wasn’t too strong and still could activate the circle. That’s why this mission burned quite a few brain cells for Su Xiao.
They now had two strong armies, one was under Mustang, and the other was under Olivier.
But can those two armies face the full army of Amestris? The answer is an absolute no.
But there is a big flow in the Dwarf in the sk’s n, which is keeping secrets from humans and believing that humans were below him.
Only the Homunculi knew of his n, and even though King Bradley (Wrath) is the Chief Executive of Amestris, he can’t expose himself, and with the status of the Homunculi made public, the army would unite against them.
When Amestris constantly expanded, civil wars urred unceasingly, with regional officers greatly discontent with King Bradley. If he didn’t have the Dwarf in the sk’s support, he wouldn’t have made it to his position.
It’s not that he was ipetent, but it was the Dwarf in sk’s n, which is anti-human.
Although Amestris wasn’t a great nation, it was considered a country, and such a country that continued to expand over so much time suddenly stopped, and civil wars started. Couldn’t someone discover such an anomaly?
The Dwarf In The sk didn’t pay attention to any of this, as he didn’t want to govern the country but use it.
To sum it up, the Dwarf in the sk looked down on humans too much, but he forgot who created him in the first ce.
Su Xiao’s n was simple, reduce the Dwarf in the sk’s trusted subordinates, unite allies, make the entire country rebel, forcing the Dwarf to Activate the Transmutation Circle early.
Two-thirds of his n is done, just one-third to go.
What Mustang wants is the position of King Bradley, what Olivier wants is to preserve the north, and both were in conflict with the Dwarf in The sk.
The mes of war will soon ignite, and it won’t fall on Su Xiao’s shoulders but on the Homunculi. Su Xiao only provided a small spark.
…
In the fortress, one day passed since Su Xiao killed Sloth, and his injury somewhat recovered.
In a conference room, Su Xiao sat before a round table, and Olivier sat on the other end with an old-style telephone in hand.
“I really didn’t think you’d be able to convince her.”
Mustang said over the phone.
“What is the attitude of the other Generals?”
Olivier asked.
“What kind of attitude can they have. Although they knew that King Bradley is a Homunculus and knew about the Dwarf in the sk, they are just sitting around and enjoying their lives.” As soon as Mustang’s words ended, Olivier stood up and hit the table.
“Are those pigs stupid? They want to sit idly while the situation is this dire?”
“Those guys aren’t stupid. Now they are ready to take their troops out of Amestris, which is good for us since we only have to worry about Central City’s Army and some nearby troops, about 200,000 total.”
