Suddenly, he looked back at the shadow clones that had been chasing them and was taken back because after they had run a distance, those shadow clones actually stopped chasing them.

King Bradley was also takenback by this and turned to look, discovering that it was indeed, as Pride said.

The three shadow clones that had been chasing behind them actually stopped.

However, they did not leave.

Instead, they quietly stood on the stairs, looking up at them.

Their goal was the philosopher<unk>'s stone.

As the president for so many years, he furrowed his brow at the actions of the shadow clones.

But then, as if he thought of something, his expression turned somewhat grim as he said, "What should we do? We are simply not their match.

" Pride realized this as well.

However, like King Bradley, he frowned and looked at the three shadow clones standing at the bottom of the stairs, saying, "There's no other way.

We can only find father.

" King Bradley scanned the three shadow clones back and forth, but ultimately shook his head.

Although he was fast, he noticed during the previous encounter that the opponent's speed was not slower than his, and perhaps even faster, which extinguished his fighting spirit against the shadow clones.

Thus, he could only think of that father who was omnipotent in the eyes of the homunculi.

Pride did not deny King Bradley's words.

There was no other option.

If they didn't seek father, they couldn't possibly go to the military, right? That was simply impossible, especially since the philosopher<unk>'s stone beneath the fifth laboratory couldn't be exposed to light.

If some guys from the military discovered it, then their enemies would not only be those few unknown monsters, but also those military personnel.

Just as King Bradley was taking pride to find the small person in the bottle in the shadow realm inside the Lord's castle, Yizuki was looking strangely at the gentle figure in a black long dress that had just been brought out by the shadow clones.

Isn't this Edward's mother? How did you bring her back? Looking at the woman who was thrown to the ground with the blood stains on her neck slowly healing.

Yizuki recognized her, but precisely because he recognized her, Yuzuki felt somewhat speechless.

To be honest, after obtaining the extraordinary plugin of alchemy, Yuzuki already knew what was going on.

This thing was completely a hybrid product of human transmutation and the philosopher stone.

Human transmutation creates a body without a soul or intelligence.

While the philosopher stone grants them a soul and intelligence.

Of course, the unfinished product of the philosopher<unk>'s stone, the blood red stone, could also allow the homunculi to grow on their own.

Naturally, Yizuki knew what the homunculi were.

It didn't he prevent Yuzuki from sending these homunculi to the laboratory for those in scientific research.

After all, Yuzuki was merely aware of the situation.

Who are you? Just as Yuzuki was looking at Sloth on the ground.

Suddenly, Sloth, who had her head cut off, opened her eyes and coldly stared at Yuzuki.

She did not attack immediately because it would be useless.

Just look at the two shadow clones standing beside her.

Previously, she couldn't even defeat one when teaming up with Pride and King Bradley.

Being decapitated by the opponent had already made her realize the disparity in strength.

So, what she needed to do now was not to fight, but to gather the information she needed from Mizuki.

As for how to send the information back later, that was something to think about afterward.

Who I am is not important.

What matters is whether you know who you are.

Hearing this, Yizuki shrugged and instead looked at Sloth with an appreciative gaze as if admiring a work of art.

I must say, Sloth, dressed in a black lawn dress, was indeed quite beautiful.

Moreover, she carried a mysterious feminine charm.

No wonder she could captivate Hoenheim and even bear him two sons.

After all, Hoenh was several hundred years old.

What kind of women hadn't he encountered? But the only one who bore him children was her.

This shows how extraordinary Sloth's former self was.

Who am I? Sir, wouldn't you know who I am? Hearing Yizuki's question, Sloth sat down gracefully on the sofa opposite Yuzuki, as if she had heard a funny joke.

Her gaze filled with amusement, examined him.

But deep in her eyes was a hint of indifference.

"Of course, I know who you are.

I was asking about this body of yours.

" Yizuki was not bothered by her actions.

Instead, he smiled at her.

Upon hearing this, Sloth slightly furrowed her brow and a glint of unusual light flickered in her eyes as she looked at Yizuki.

A small stream of water slowly flowed from her feet towards Yizuki.

Don't move.

I don't have a habit of not attacking women.

Yizuki's smile did not fade as he glanced down slightly.

However, what he said caused Sloth's manipulation of the water flow to pause.

Originally, she had intended to use conversation to lower his guard before using her abilities to control Yuzuki.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she made a move, he had already noticed, which made her expression darken instantly.

What exactly do you want? I'm just planning to get some philosopher stones.

Who told you to come on my door? The memories of the shadow clones had long been accepted by Yizuki.

He naturally knew why sloth had been sent over, so he shrugged and admitted it.

These monsters are your alchemical products.

Sloth did not expect Yuzuki to say this.

However, recalling the scene where she saw those shadow clones pretending to be the philosopher stone, Sloth realized that he didn't seem to be lying if they hadn't run over themselves.

He really would have just been stealing the philosopher<unk>'s stone liquid there.

Thinking of this, Sloth suddenly pointed at a shadow clone standing by and feigned curiosity, asking.

She also noticed that this young human seemed to harbor no malice towards her.

This naturally gave her a bit more courage.

You don't need to know that.

Forget it.

There's really nothing to talk about with you.

You might as well go accompany Lust and the others.

Yizuki could see through Sloth's little tricks.

And he suddenly felt somewhat bored.

So he waved his hand disinterestedly, signaling the shadow clones to take her away.

Sloth never expected Yuzuki to turn against her so quickly.

Before she could react, she was already being lifted by two shadow clones, one on the left and one on the right.

However, when she heard Yuzuki mention lust name, she froze.

It was you who captured Lust and the others.

Otherwise, do you think anyone else in a mistress has such ability? While speaking, Yuzuki wave his hand, signaling the shadow clones to carry the homunculus away.

He also prepared to pick up a book beside him and start reading.

Of course, having already acquired knowledge of alchemy, Yuzuki was not reading any alchemical books, just a book he got from the National Central Library.

To be honest, Yizuki did not expect that the National Central Library would actually have novels.

This inevitably makes one sigh, there really are code dogs everywhere.

Hearing Yi's words, sloth, who originally wanted to struggle, suddenly froze.

Soon, her whole body seemed to go limp, allowing the two shadow clones to carry her out.

"My lord, this should also be an artificial human, right? Aren't you worried she will escape?" Sophie asked curiously upon seeing Yiu's calm demeanor.

"Chapter 242.

Little white mouse.

What is there to worry about? Do you think her little strength can escape from my territory?" Yi replied with a smile, looking at Sophie.

Even though sloth has the ability to turn into water in this shadow realm where extraordinary power is abundant, she has absolutely no chance of escaping.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been beheaded by her own shadow clone.

Although that ability to turn into water is quite tricky for ordinary people.

Don't forget that Yiu's shadow clones are all armed with haki.

That ability is actually quite similar to the elementalization of devil fruits for the shadow clones.

So, under the armed hockey, she wouldn't have any ability to fight back at all.

Uh, I guess I was overthinking it.
