[Comprehensive] Self-cultivation of the villain master

Astra is not a kind-hearted person, which can be seen from his lukewarm attitude towards Hohenheim. He completely separates responsibilities from personal feelings, and does not care about anyone. Whoever has something happened, and if they have any compassion, they will do what they want, and they will not let it go when they should be ridiculed. If it is not necessary to encounter troublesome things, they will try their best to avoid them, or simply ignore them.

No matter how frightened and unkind the woman looked at him, and the girl cried so loudly, he felt that he didn't have any sympathy except for being noisy and annoying.

Annoyed, he smacked his lips, turned around and said to Hohenheim inside, "Who is that, come out and play."

Hohenheim was reading a book, but when he heard Astra calling him, he walked over.

Then, Astra brought him in front of the girl like a cannonball, even though Hohenheim's back was turned to him, he could still hear the voice of hidden anger.

"Please take care of this kind of trouble caused by your son. I am not myself at all, and I have no reason to clean up the mess for you."

Things that can be explained as long as they are clearly explained, are directly thrown to others by Astra on the grounds of annoyance. Regarding his willful approach, Hohenheim thinks it is more reasonable to use the rebellious period to explain.

But the truth, only Agas knows.

He hadn't lifted his reinsonization yet, but he saw a completely different side of Astra that was so unnatural, one that he barely saw while he was around.

The madness and berserk factor hidden in Astra's soul finally leaked out more and more uncontrollably because of the loss of the seal of memory.

Agath's eyes were dark, looking at Astra's sideways face, with a bit of inquiry and suspicion in his eyes.

In fact, yes or no, just test it a little bit.

So he asked a question in a voice only he and Astra could hear.

"How do you plan to handle this situation without Hohenheim here?"

The sudden sound brought Astra back to his senses. He looked at the place where the magic power was emitted, with surprise in his eyes: "When did you come back, why didn't you make a sound?"

Agas laughed and said in a low voice, "You were too immersed in your own world and didn't realize it. Do you want to blame me?"

He knows that this is a taboo topic in Astra, but he still can't help but start with such a sharp question. If he is lucky, maybe it is really just restricted by his physical age, which causes his emotions to fluctuate, so there is nothing to worry about. up.

but--

If the situation was really as he guessed, the part belonging to the Sea Emperor started to awaken, then he would have to judge Astra himself.

Depending on the answer, he will make a different judgment.

Astra heard the words, there was anger in his heart, and he didn't know why, but he always felt that there was a fire burning in his heart, as if he couldn't calm down without burning all the annoying things.

A terrible thought suddenly popped up in my heart - wouldn't it be good to destroy everything?

At that moment, the murderous aura suddenly released from his body made Hohenheim's back feel cold, and he hurriedly turned his head.

What I saw was a blue-haired boy with a puzzled face, and he didn't have any murderous intent.

Hohenheim scratched his head involuntarily, it was probably an illusion, no matter how strong a child is, it is impossible for him to have such a murderous aura.

Without realizing how terrifying his thoughts were, Astra couldn't feel the aura of Agas, thinking that he was just torturing himself, so he didn't care.

With Erlang's legs crossed, Astra leaned against the wall, listening to Hohenheim's follow-up.

It was an oolong in the first place, and Astra's unrestrained bad temper caused Hohenheim to pay a lot. Fortunately, the mother and daughter were not people who hated teenagers, so they soon realized that they had made a mistake. People, sighing for a while, asked the girl to apologize, and asked the blond young man in front of him to say sorry to the young man inside. It was really embarrassing to be mistaken for someone.

After hearing Hohenheim's words, Astra snorted coldly and didn't speak again.

With the help of Agas, Hohenheim and Roy Mustang successfully met outside in no time.

Roy didn't believe what the mysterious man said at first, but in order to be able to climb up to the top, since there is evidence to overthrow the above, even if it is a trap, he is willing to go through it.

What he didn't expect was that the facts were placed in front of him so cruelly. All the causes of Hughes' death that he could guess, and what he didn't expect, were all caused by the upper echelons.

Lieutenant Hawkeye once said that he has not completely lost his conscience, as long as the heart is still there, as long as she wakes him up when he makes a mistake, he will still be the Colonel Roy who is recognized and willing to follow.

In fact, he also knows that in order to climb to the top, it is not for the so-called "let all women wear miniskirt uniforms" for such a nonsensical reason. The hidden truth is that he does not want to find out the sad war like Ishbaru again. He didn't want to see more people die. He couldn't find an effective way to stop the war. He had to become the president and stop the war from the root.

He thought that as long as he kept doing meritorious service and climbing up the ladder, he could become the leader of the country sooner or later based on his contribution to the country... After listening to what Hohenheim said, he realized how ridiculous his idea was. How many years have lived monsters vying for ostensible rights?

Taking a deep breath, meeting Lieutenant Hawkeye's worried expression, Roy Mustang waved his hand at her, signaling not to worry, and then turned his head to look at another boy.

"You are the master of Chaldea, and you are here to restore humanity, so what should we do?"

Astra was originally just an observer, and had no intention of intervening or talking. Now that she was asked, she raised her eyebrows in surprise, and asked, "Shouldn't you be responsible for the affairs of this world?"

"Well, that's what I said, but I only have one life left."

Speaking of this, Hohenheim scratched his face with a sad face: "Edward and the others don't know if they will recognize me as the father who left them. Things are a bit difficult."

Unfortunately, Hohenheim's tactic has been tried and tested, but it doesn't work for Astra.

"I can't give you the correct method. I can only help you eradicate enemies when you encounter them. You need to think about other things yourself."

"This is your own world, isn't it?"

The reason why Astra maintains an indifferent attitude is because he believes that the people here need to think for themselves to protect, instead of relying on him as an outsider to solve everything.

In the previous singularities, Astra also encountered many existences from the original world.

There are people, there are followers.

But they can think independently, instead of putting everything on Fujimaru Tachika and Chaldea, because they know that it is their own world, and they don't want to protect it. How can it be possible to expect others to protect it?

Roy and Hohenheim were not people who would rely too much on others. When asked by Astra, they immediately discovered that they had inadvertently thrown the responsibility of protecting their own world to others.

Since the people hadn't arrived yet, Roy could only stay still for the time being. He said that at least he would have enough manpower to dispatch until Brother Elrick came back.

Astra did not object to such an approach. Bravery does not mean recklessness. A reckless attack will not only scare the enemy, but also bring a lot of trouble to himself.

No matter who they are at the top, they must not disclose it to others. Once many people know that the leader of the country is non-human, the world will be completely messed up.

At that time, no matter who it is, they will not be able to clean up the mess. Even if Astra and the others defeat the artificial man and the villain in the bottle behind them, human restoration will fail, and the world will fall into panic and chaos. There is only one way to destroy.

After telling Hohenheim the phone code, Roy led his subordinates down the path and left the place where they were talking.

The following days were torture for Hohenheim.

The matter of contacting Brother Edward was naturally left to Agas, who did not need to rest. Astra stayed in the slums, and had no common language with Hohenheim, and basically did not talk to each other.

Hohenheim was determined to discuss the plan, but seeing that the master was completely uncooperative, he had no choice but to give up.

Astra actually knew what this man was thinking, but—it was just a waste of time to discuss anything with him, and the noisy voice in his body made him only focus on fighting against that terrible thought.

That creepy cry did not belong to Astra in any period. Even if he once hated the gods because of his elder brother, even for the reason of protecting human beings, he hated even human beings, he never thought To exterminate human beings and all worlds.

There was only one place that could explain that sound.

Thinking of the time in Fuyuki, I watched "he" control the body named Astra, and almost tortured the Conqueror Iskandar to death, his body became stiff, and his face gradually became sickly pale .

Pressing her right hand tightly to her heart, Astra panted silently, allowing the two individuals in her body to collide and collide unceasingly, clenching her teeth tightly.

This feeling is not indescribable pain, but despair.

As long as he doesn't pay attention, his existence as Astra will be completely erased by another personality, and no one will remember that he ever existed.

Astra is not afraid of death, or he has died countless times, but he has never completely disappeared into the world. He is a person who has escaped reincarnation. Hades, the king of the underworld, cannot interfere with his destiny. The blessed person, because of being cursed by the goddess of misfortune, can no longer have happiness at all.

What he was afraid of was that if he disappeared, no one would remember his brother anymore.

Astra, who hugged his knees, fell into such emotions for a while, until Agas took the person to a nearby store and returned to him, he did not give the slightest reaction.

Agas appeared, looked at Hohenheim who was shaking his head, and kicked Astra with his feet.

"Hey!"

Being kicked to the ground so roughly, Astra didn't give the other side a good face at all.

"Oh, still alive."

Agath's answer was very cold, and Astra was so angry that he couldn't fight, but because he made a mistake first, he could only swallow his anger.

"Are you done with everything you've been asked to do?"

"Do you think I am you?"

Throwing a rhetorical question to Astra, Agas said with a half-smile: "I kicked all the things that I should be responsible for to others, Master."

The ridicule in the words was so heavy that Hohenheim couldn't help coughing a few times.

Astra ignored this harsh reply and said to Astra: "I had a dream."

"Is it a dream to destroy the world?"

It wasn't until this time that Astra realized... Agas' attitude towards him was no longer as gentle as before, but full of sharp thorns everywhere, stabbing people with every sentence.

Thinking of this, Astra pursed her lips and said, "Did I offend you somewhere? Why is my attitude so bad?"

Agas knew that his reaction was too strong, making Astra suspicious of him, but he didn't intend to hide anything, except for what he was going to do, he counted on the other party one by one.

If Hohenheim hadn't understood the relationship between the master and the servant, he would definitely think that Agas was reprimanding his disobedient younger brother as an older brother.

Listen to this content - it is family education at all.

"Why don't you have a good meal?"

"Not hungry."

Astra felt that Agath's questioning was completely unreasonable.

Agas also knew that his accusation was completely meaningless, and he had no other way to divert Astra's attention.

Hohenheim vaguely felt that the conversation between the two seemed a bit strange, and he couldn't explain why. Although he, Astra, and Agas had experienced a lot along the way, they were still not very familiar. Asking about the sense of disobedience...it's always a bit inappropriate.

After all, Astra was not the man he was in his heyday, and he didn't suspect Agas, although he still felt that there was something different from his cognition.

After the non-nutritive conversation, Agas and Astra said: "I have already taken Brother Edward to the Eastern Command once. After they met Roy Mustang, they learned from him what we said before. , but I said that I would beat up my unscrupulous father, and decided to meet once before the plan proceeds."

Agas looked at Hohenheim and asked him, "I didn't agree right away. This matter is related to your wishes. Do you think it is necessary to meet once before the decisive battle?"

Hohenheim glanced at Astra, who waved at him and yawned.

"I won't go. Anyway, we will meet sooner or later. It doesn't matter if we meet again at the final battle."

So Hohenheim went alone.

Agas disappeared again, and stayed alone in the tent, and Astra soon fell into a deep sleep.

In a daze, he felt as if he was in a whirlpool. The swirling whirlpool made him feel sick while he was still asleep, and he lifted his extremely heavy eyelids.

Seeing this, he immediately lost his drowsiness, and he was so awake that he couldn't wake up again.

Images of various people flashed around him, and there was something like black claws on his body, which was exactly the same as the monster from another dimension he had thrown.

...It doesn't have the weirdness of that time.

Astra blinked and looked straight ahead, it was another him.

"Master, long time no see."

The God of Truth once said that it has ever-changing forms, and it will show different forms in front of different people, which is a warning to the world.

What has been taken away is itself.

Astra said with a blank face: "Return to the way you were when I summoned you, I can't bear to see you like this."

After hearing this, the God of Truth changed back to his previous appearance very obediently.

"I've come to thank you, Astra."

Astra looked around and said in admiration: "Your thanks, is to bring me to this ghost place?"

"This is the door, the passage that takes you to where you should have been."

"Door?"

"Yes."

The God of Truth explained: "Pass through this gate and pay a certain amount of travel expenses, and you will know the knowledge of the world."

Astra pouted: "The knowledge you mentioned is only what alchemists need, I don't need it."

"Yes, so for you, this door is the passage."

"Aren't you always surprised, why the coordinates show that you arrived safely, but you are actually in another singularity?"

"Speaking of which, there is such a thing."

If he hadn’t contacted Chaldea, Astra wouldn’t have known at all... He had already arrived in London in the eyes of others. Although he and Fujimaru Tachika would never be able to meet because of the fact that he and Tachika Fujimaru were infinitely close, he would know about it, but he took the initiative In the end, it can save some wasted time.

Now after listening to the God of Truth, he understood the reason.

The so-called passage is the road leading him to normal London.

It is precisely because this world is on the parallel plane of that singularity that it is slightly used by the God of Truth so that no one can discover it.

Astra moved his hand, feeling that it would be even more unsafe not to deliberately adjust the time and space. At least he was in the wrong position before, and it wasn't so outrageous that he ran directly to the parallel world.

"This should be okay?"

The God of Truth nodded and said: "The affairs of this world should be resolved by the people of this world themselves, and that's fine."

Astra also didn't like to be nosy, and originally wanted to help to the end, since the god of time and space decided to send him away, there was no need for him to delay.

Soon, Astra saw the point of light.

Then, the God of Truth murmured so softly that it was almost inaudible.

"……goodbye."

Walking out of the dark passage, looking at the empty streets full of magic, Astra's eyes flashed with a cold luster.

"Farewell to you forever, alien god."
