Chapter 578: Armored People



He went straight to the residence of Bradley, directly under which the lair of Father was situated. Alexander had dealt with all bad elements so there were no traitors anymore.

Alexander called all the good guys to the Central Command headquarters. Inside the office, all the remaining good men sat. There weren't many left anyway.

"Okay, listen to me. This Father guy is sitting in his humongous lair under the Central City. From there, his tunnels span all around Amestris.

General Armstrong, with your men, you will destroy all tunnels exiting the Central City in North and West. General Grumman, with your men, you will do the same with East and South.

"No matter what happens, he can not escape under any circumstances because if he does then he will restart his plan in some other country.

"He will die today, no matter what and for this, all of you need to be attentive and ready to fight all the time. Got it?" He asked.

They all saluted him and got to work.

"Rest of you, come with me to the underground." He ordered.

Hohenheim started briefing them on Father's abilities. "He is very fast and consider that he knows everything whenever you engage with him. He can use Alchemy by avoiding the matrix. He can also take away your Alchemy as it is flawed. But do not worry, I can work as a deterrent to his Alchemy blockade."

Alexander was just silent the whole time. He didn't really have to do much to win this fight. Everyone underestimated him too much.

Alexander got Bradley and made him lead the way to the main lair of Father.

When Alexander, Dobby, Ragnarok, Hohenheim, Edward, Alphonse, Mustang and others reached the place, they saw a man exactly looking like Hohenheim sitting on a high chair.

"We meet again, Hohenheim." The man greeted.

"Indeed we do and it will be the last time." Hohenheim was already in the mood to fight.

Alexander stepped forward. "Come down here, let's decide your fate."

Father was shocked by being treated like this. "Hahaha, Hohenheim, you really did a remarkable job in making a Homunculus."

He was too confident, he had sensed the seamless power inside Alexander but mistook him for a Homunculus.

"That is not a Homunculus and I just met him a few days ago." Hohenheim clarified.

Father was left speechless. But then he remembered something. "Ah, then you must be that ant, General Universe. You have spoiled my 400 years of planning. I won't let you get away so easily."

Meanwhile, Alexander was having a different thought. ~Why does he look so calm?~

"Hahaha, you must be wondering why I am not seething in rage? Well, because I want to thank you. Before, I was just going to sacrifice Amestris and get one big Philosopher's stone. But, now I can have 2, even after forgetting the Amestris' one." Father said smugly. He was taking pride in his moment of feeling that he outsmarted Alexander and everyone else.

It hit everyone. Amestris wasn't the only country where he was making an underground transmutation circle. He had also made such circles under Creta and Aerugo too.

"You are mistaken if you think your plan will succeed. I have my people in all these kingdoms and the moment you told me your plan, it was doomed. They have destroyed your transmutation circle by now. All of them," Alexander revealed with a smile.

Father's eyes widened as he closed his eyes and tried to communicate with Pride, one of his homunculi. He found out what had happened. The transmutation circle in the form of the tunnel had its various parts collapsed for some reason. It was now impossible to do it.

He again opened his eyes. Now they were bloodshot red and there was anger. Gone was his gentleman's aura that he was trying to maintain.

"YOU! I will kill you all." He shouted and with a loud sound, various doors opened around them.

Alexander looked around and saw lots of humanoid beings. They all had a white and red body with one big eye on their forehead. They seemed soulless as he could not detect any thoughts in them.

Hohenheim was disgusted as he knew what they were. "How can you be so cruel? You created soulless lesser homunculus. So many people you killed."

"Haha, all humans of Amestris are my property. Anyway, lots of them were people that the military themselves killed. Ishvalans too." Father said with an amusing smile. He chuckled after seeing the reactions of Scar, Mustang and Major Armstrong.

"KILL THEM" He ordered more than a hundred thousand lesser homunculus to attack them.

But, before Alexander could even wave his hand and stop everything, out of nowhere, tens of humans appeared. They were wearing steel armor, covering their full bodies and heads. They had laser blasters in their hands and a jetpack on their backs. They flew around and shot at all the lesser homunculus.

One by one, most of the lesser homunculus were shot down by laser beams. It was too advanced for the people of the current era and it shocked most of them there.

"Who are you all?" Alexander asked them as he felt he had seen such people before.

Suddenly, one of them appeared in front of Alexander and kneeled. "Ishvala, we are here to support you in ridding this world of demons like these."

Alexander had a hunch where these people were from by what they called him. "Why?"

Then, in a sync, all of them said something that made Alexander nearly choke on his saliva.

"THIS IS THE WAY!"
