"?!" The little man in the flask frowned and quickly pulled out the right hand that had stabbed into Hornheim and took a few steps back.

"The expression finally changed." Hornheim turned around slowly. His body had just been pierced three seconds ago, but now the pierced part has completely stopped bleeding. Maybe even the wound under his clothes has healed.

"...What did you do?" The villain in the flask covered his right wrist with his left hand, as if suppressing something.

"Do you didn't do." Hornheim looked at his former friend.

If we really talk about the bond between the two, it can be traced back thousands of years ago. The villain in the flask was still a real era of [a black ball with eyes and mouth existing in a flask].

At that time, Hornheim was just a slave who didn't even have a name. He was the villain in the flask who talked to him and taught him knowledge while bored, which enabled him to escape from the "path of slaves". Hornheim naturally trusted him extremely, and the villain in the flask did not hate this slave whom he carried. Although there were huge differences in the forms of the two, the two were indeed friends who were all talking about.

However, all the villains in the flask conspired to plan "The Land Refining Formation", which allowed them to leave the "flask" as a container to reverse. Even though the villains in the flask refine Hornheim's body into the Sage Stone, as old as himself, he could use alchemy unscrupulously, but Hornheim's moral level was too high to agree with the villains in the flask, and the two parted ways from then on.

After realizing the real intention of the villain in the flask to establish the country, Hornheim decided to fight against it in order to prevent the next "Term Refining Formation", and the two completely turned into hostile relationship... Although Hornheim's actions were quite secret, even the villain in the flask had never known about his underground activities...

Hornheim, who couldn't help but flashed through his past, said, "Sarkins is the backbone of the carpenter, his son Dozel respects his father very much. The girl from the flower shop, Kaiya, is an understanding and good girl. Sally, a horse-raising company, is addicted to alcohol. The young man Tammy's dream is to be a scholar, Kidalushu is a chef, and Zul is a hopeless bad guy... Speaking of this, don't you understand?"

"...You mean "Stone of the Sage" has their own will?" The villain in the flask quickly grasped the point, "How is it possible, it's just some energy bodies."

"Do you think... it's impossible?" Hornheim said, covering his chest, "Indeed, dealing with crazy souls makes people want to go crazy, but the world I talk to is sufficient. Thanks to the ageless body you gave me, I have finished talking to the 536,329 people in my body!"

"!" It doesn't know how long it takes to calm a crazy soul down, but over thousands of years, everything sounds like it's possible.

"Of course, the most important thing to calm them down is that everyone wants to avenge you the last revenge."

(Puff!) As soon as Hornheim finished speaking, the calmed soul that had entered his body through the attack of the little man in the flask exploded inside, turning into a black spike that pierced the human shell of the little man in the flask.

"Okay, damn... Hornheim." said the villain in the flask that tried his best to suppress the turbulent soul in his body.

"Is this your anger..." Hornheim said calmly, "You have become bored... You used to be more emotional. If you were angry, your expression would be more distorted, right?"

"?"

"Lutness, greed, laziness, gluttony, jealousy, arrogance, anger... It is said that humans have seven deadly sins. Excessive desires do lead to destruction, but on the other hand, all these feelings are indispensable to understand humans." Hornheim pushed his glasses, "Why should we peel them off? Why do we need to make artificial humans? Let them accompany you and call you father? When you are in the flask, don't you look down on family-like social relationships?"

"shut up!"

"You actually want to have family like humans, right? Then what you are doing now has violated your sincerity." Hornheim started to refine, and a spike similar to that before pierced out of the little man in the flask. "Go back to your original place, there is no meaning of you left in this world."

The original container of the villain in the flask is naturally a "flask". Once the flask is broken, it will die immediately. This is similar to Pride. Pride was also destroyed by Leeds. It was then killed immediately after being destroyed by Leeds... Perhaps because Pride was the 'original artificial human', it is similar to the characteristics of the villain in the original flask.

Unfortunately, that is just the characteristic of the ‘the villain in the original flask’.

(Mumbling mumble)

Under a red light made of the Sage Stone, the little man in the flask seemed to have emerged from under his skin, and walked out of his mouth in a thick black liquid - eventually turning into a human-shaped monster with a large mouth on his head and a sparse but huge eyeballs on his body.

"Ha...! It's actually possible to get out of the container!" It's true that after abandoning the container, the villain in the flask looked more like his original posture, and Hornheim actually felt very serious.

"I don't get serious, you really dare to say it, Hornheim...Don't think you are the only one who has improved." After the souls that invaded the body were exhausted by the previous refinement, the villain in the flask finally regained his body. "I said, I want to become [full existence], so - who can unite you to kill my child in almost the same time, and make my plan mess up here, tell me all!"

There was no movement of it... Well, just a creature like black liquid, it didn't require any movement, just transforming two black whips from its body.

"Um!!!"

Hornheim could not beat the villain in the flask in front of him. This is a fact. He was stabbed into his body by the other party with his hands before, and it could not be considered a deliberate flaw... At the end of the day, the villain in the flask was Hornheim's master, and it was normal for the master to leave a few moves.

but,

"——Slowly, it's me who is doing things behind me. Dad Dou, you're not good to make a contribution like this?" Leeds jumped out and cut off the black whip on the left with a sword.

"——You are the culprit who ordered the annihilation of Ishval!" Ska jumped out and grabbed the black shadow with one hand to decompose... Although he did not achieve the expected goal, the power of the 'decomposition' was still exerted, and the black whip immediately retracted.

"You, are you...?"
