Chapter 574: What are you?
Van Hohenheim had gotten interested when he found out from the public announcement that something was going to happen at the Central Command headquarters.
Initially, the first thing that came into his mind was Father and the whole plan to sacrifice everyone. But it didn't make sense to call people to the Central as this doesn't give anything additional to the plan. Be it Central City or some countryside, the people will still die. But he still had his worries and headed to the Central.
So, he also squeezed into the crowd and came forward. His eyes were more than fine to see everything clearly. He saw Bradley whom he knew was a Homunculus.
Then for the first time, he saw Alexander. Hohenheim knew Alchahestry and it was helpful in reading other people. When he looked at Alexander, he sensed boundless energy and power within him. Not just him, but also in 4 other people and a cat beside them. It was less than Alexander but still more than what he himself or even the Dwarf(Father) had.
But, what shocked him was that he could not feel a Philosopher's stone in any of them. But, this made him even more interested as having this kind of power for a mortal without a Philosopher's stone was impossible. The only other option was if you were a literal God. But he doubted the Gods really existed as the truth was more like a Chaotic Neutral being than anything angelic.
Then, to his shock and happiness, these crazy strong beings seemed to be on the side of the people. They revealed the plot of Father and the real identity of Bradley and all the killings they did.
But he was now worried about something else, ~Who are they? Why would they reveal such information to people? Now everyone knows that to create the Philosopher's stone, human sacrifice is needed. I am afraid, too many deranged Alchemists will try to make it.~
"I must meet them." He told himself. Soon, to not much of his shock, the man named Alexander became the Fuhrer by people's choice.
