"Don't remind me of the damn final exam!!"
"… "
All of a sudden, seeing the opening of Fullmetal Alchemist, all the audience became excited.
At the same time, the first to react were naturally the magicians of the Imperial Magic Academy. Since the opening of Magic Alchemy was basically just these few sentences, they suffered PTSD after reading it, and they felt unwell on the spot.
Of course, there is a sentence in the opening words that is not found in magical alchemy, and that is the content about the alchemy of the human body.
Magical Alchemy never mentions any concept about human body alchemy from beginning to end, but this does not mean that there is no concept of human body alchemy in magicalchemy.
Or to say the opposite, magical alchemy emphasizes the concept of biological alchemy and claims that it is the future direction of magical alchemy research.
This is obviously different from the theme expressed in "Fullmetal Alchemist".
Of course, there is also a concept in reality that is very similar to the taboo of human body transmutation, and that is the study of the undead.
In reality, any race or any being is absolutely forbidden to study the undead.
Undead beings and human transmutation are similar concepts in a sense, which is why it becomes a taboo!
While the magicians were thinking about the upcoming TV show, the great sages at the top of the Mage Tower were also watching everything patiently.
Of course, since Dean Hohenheim was not there and was invited by Durin to Edward's Tavern, the other great sages had less conversations after losing a main thread.
But in a sense, for these great sages, watching TV becomes much more comfortable after there are fewer people in the group, and they can immerse themselves in it to the greatest extent.
Not just the Imperial Academy of Magic, at this moment, everyone in the entire empire sitting in front of their televisions are staring at the scene in front of them, waiting for the story to begin again.
…
After the second episode of "Fullmetal Alchemist" officially began, the timeline jumped directly back to ten years ago.
Young brothers Edward and Alphonse spent their days and nights in their father's study, studying a concept called alchemy.
At the same time, the two children were obviously very talented. They mastered the basic alchemy arrays and the basic methods of transforming substances simply by self-study.
The brothers' mother was very happy to see this scene and encouraged them to continue studying.
However, just a few days after these beautiful days, their mother died of an infectious disease.
In front of his mother's grave, young Edward was very angry. He couldn't understand why his father hadn't come back until now, and didn't even come back to see his mother's funeral.
After being angry, Edward came up with an idea to see if he could use alchemy to revive his mother.
Alphonse, the younger brother, expressed opposition to this proposal, but he could not overcome his brother Edward's obsession.
Afterwards, the two of them lived in the home of their neighbor, Winry, who was the same age as them, and studied alchemy.
They found an alchemical master, spent several years, and finally made full preparations and began their own human transmutation.
"35 liters of water, 20 kilograms of carbon, 4 liters of ammonia, 1.5 kilograms of lime, 800 grams of phosphorus, 250 grams of salt, 100 grams of saltpeter, 80 grams of sulfur, 7.5 grams of fluorine, 5 grams of iron, and 3 grams of silicon. These are all the ingredients a person needs."
"Next, let's start writing the construction formula."
"Oh, there is one more step. We need to inject the soul's information into it."
As the elder brother Edward said this, he cut his own and his brother's fingers with a knife and poured their blood into the basin.
"Here we go, Al!"
"Um."
With that, the two began the ritual of human body transformation.
…
"Is this how human body refining began?"
"Just two kids?"
"This is outrageous, they are doing crazy things!"
"Resurrecting the dead is simply impossible!"
"If people die and come back to life, isn't that in a sense the creation of immortality?"
“This is too bad.”
"… "
For a moment, seeing the plot in the movie, the audience was extremely distressed and couldn't help but talk about it.
After all, the two children studied forbidden alchemy in order to resurrect their mother. Although their starting point was good, the process was problematic no matter how you looked at it.
If it were possible to construct human beings from ordinary elements, wouldn't that be usurping the power of the Creator
Even if it can be done, it shouldn't be done by two ordinary children.
No matter how you look at it, this kind of plot will not have any good outcome, and everyone is worried about it.
And because the story was told in flashback in the previous episode, most people have already seen the final outcome of the two children on TV.
…
In the story of "Fullmetal Alchemist".
As the two children, Edward and Alphonse, began to activate the alchemy array, intense energy and light began to flash in the room.
Before the two brothers could show any excitement, a black vortex suddenly swept out from the air.
In an instant, the entire refining formation suddenly opened a huge eye, and countless black tentacles spread out from all directions. Edward found that his right foot suddenly fell off and was taken away by the tentacles.
Immediately afterwards, before Edward could show any fear, Alphonse beside him was entangled by the tentacles and dragged to the center of the alchemy array!
All of a sudden, when Edward tried desperately to grab Alphonse's hand, he suddenly found himself standing in a white space.
Behind him was a stone door with strange pictures engraved on it.
And right in front of him, a blank but obvious white figure slowly appeared and spoke:
"hello."
For a moment, all the audience who saw this scene couldn't help but feel a little creepy!
Chapter 566: Human body transformation!
Chapter 566
In the TV show "Fullmetal Alchemist", a white shadow suddenly appeared and startled everyone.
No matter whether it is an ordinary person or a magician, no one expected that such a strange guy would suddenly appear in the movie, giving people a very bad feeling.
In the movie, when young Edward saw this figure, his face also darkened and he asked cautiously:
"Who are you?"
The white shadow seemed very happy about Edward's question and said happily:
"You asked a good question. I am what you call the [world], or the [universe], or the [god], or the [truth], or the [whole], or the [one]."
"And I, am you!"
In an instant, as the white shadow's words that shocked everyone fell, the stone door behind Edward suddenly opened, and a pair of eyes in the dark appeared in front of him.
Countless tentacles attacked Edward and grabbed him directly into the huge stone gate.
"Why are you yelling? Isn't this what you want?"
"I'll show you what the truth is!"
In an instant, Edward seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss. He continued to fall downwards. At the same time, countless memories and knowledge passed by him, and a huge amount of knowledge that almost filled his body poured into his mind.
For a moment, just when Edward felt that his brain was about to split, he suddenly found that he seemed to understand everything, understood the existence of the truth.
At the same time, he also saw his dead mother and couldn't help but reach out to her.
“Crack!”
However, at the last moment, the door closed again and Edward returned to the white room.
At this moment, Edward finally understood that there was nothing wrong with the theory of human transmutation. It was just missing one last part, a crucial part.
He begged the white shadow to let him go in again and take a look, but the white shadow told him that his toll was only enough to see this much.
The next moment, Edward discovered with horror that he had lost his left foot. At the same time, the left foot of the white shadow appeared on his body.
"This is equal exchange, alchemist."
As the white shadow finished speaking, Edward's consciousness suddenly returned.
He found himself back in the human transmutation room, missing his left foot.
In pain, Edward looked longingly towards the center of the alchemy array and instinctively called out his mother's name.
However, what caught his eyes was a monster with a strange appearance that was completely invisible.
Edward fell into endless regret for this result. He hugged his brother Alphonse, his clothes fell off, and he screamed in pain.
Because of his action, the huge armor on the wall fell down.
Edward noticed this and dragged his bleeding body, carving a refining array on his armor with his blood!
"Damn it! Damn it! Give it back to me, he's my brother! I'll give you his legs, his hands, and even his heart, so give him back to me, he's my only brother!!!"
Roaring, Edward clasped his palms together, and an unprecedented alchemy formation unfolded.
…
"this… "
"Is it because of this reason?"
"The younger brother lost his body and turned into a monster that can only move with a body of steel, and the older brother lost his left leg and can no longer walk independently?"
"By the way, I remember in the first episode, when Edward first appeared, he didn't even have his right hand."
"Alchemy requires equal exchange. Could it be that Edward used his right hand to exchange for his brother's soul?"
"Oh! That makes sense. It makes sense now!"
"But to be honest, it's really heartbreaking to see two children go through this."
"Resurrecting the dead goes against the laws of the world. How is it possible to do it? If there really is such a spell, then everything will be in chaos!"
"The dead cannot be resurrected, and the living cannot live forever. This is the only way to maintain the order of the world!"
"But is this really absolute? If humans really see through the secret of eternal life, will it definitely lead to something bad?"
"I think that if humans really see through the secret of eternal life, then the end of humanity will come soon."
"… "
For a moment, people at the scene were talking a lot, discussing the story shown on TV.
Whether it was the virtual white figure representing the "truth" or everything that Edward and his brother Alphonse encountered for the sake of human transmutation, all the audience were shocked.
Especially for the magicians who watched this part of the plot, it was difficult to digest everything in it at once.
After all, the concepts of [Truth] and human body transformation are too beyond imagination, and it is difficult for ordinary magicians to imagine what such concepts would be like.
For this reason, a group of magicians immediately fell into a heated discussion!
"Human body transmutation, equivalent exchange, speaking logically, if there is nothing wrong with the protagonist's theory, then why did it fail in the end?"
"The human body has various elements. If we must treat humans as objects, we might be able to replicate an identical person!"
"You are a materialist. But according to our spiritual science, in addition to various substances, the human body also has a most important concept, that is, the human soul. Everyone's soul is unique. If you can't continue your soul while you are still alive, once you die, the soul will dissipate. It can be said that this person will disappear on the spot and there will be no way to revive him."
"Oh, that is to say, Edward and his brother are still missing the most important step in their transformation, which is their mother's soul! But the question is, how can souls be exchanged? If we must measure it by value, how much is the human soul worth?"
"So, this is the key reason why the refining formation failed. Nothing can be equal to the soul, and nothing can make the soul last forever. This is the law of the world."
"… "
The magicians' voices grew louder and louder, and they soon came to understand the plot of the TV show, but in addition to that, they also became more aware of a core concept revealed in the TV show, which is that the soul will never last forever.
This made many magicians realize the fundamental reason why immortality was not encouraged.
Perhaps, the moment a person chooses to become immortal, his soul has already changed and is no longer the same person he was before he died.
