37 Chapter 35 - Father

"We brought him in Father..." said Envy.

"He was a powerful foe. He defeated most of us single-handedly and the only reason we won was from a sneak attack. Please fix the other homunculus," said Wrath.

"Oh?" Looking on the body condition of the Lust, Gluttony, and Pride, Father is surprised.

"He is quite an intelligent fellow, isn't he? He'll make the perfect human sacrifice. However, for now..." Stomping a foot on the ground, a huge stove of boiling lava was formed.

"We'll need to recycle them. They injury is too great and it'll be better to just reform them." said Father. Tapping his foot, chains and a cross is made for Lust and Gluttony.

"In you guys go..." And they were boiled down to Father's essence and distilled into liquid. Getting a wine glass, he lets the philosopher stone liquid drip down, chugging it all in inside him.

"Father, may I ask what's going on to Pride?" Envy asks.

"Pride? Oh no worries. I made him in a way that he won't need a container unlike you guys. You guys can just leave him there until he recovers." Father answers.

"What should we do with him?" King Bradley points to me.

"Get the Gold-toothed Doctor. We're starting a forced human sacrifice." says Father.

*****

"Is it done yet?" asked Father impatiently.

"Yes. The circle is complete." responded the Gold-toothed doctor.

"Well... let's start." said Father.

Placing his hands on the finished circle, the doctor was grinning madly.

"What are you going to lose?" smiled the doctor.

"Nothing, however, you will." I responded and opened my eyes.

Swiping his leg to make him trip onto the circle and jumping away, I see the circle activating and dust covers the entire room. After the dust settles, all that was left of the doctor was a meatball of human flesh with his face implanted in the middle.

"You like my tricks, Dwarf in the Flask?" I tease.

"I have to commend you. I saw your weaponry a while ago and they certainly surprise me. Tell me, how did your gloves work? I heard about what they did, but the moment I gazed at them they dissipated." questioned Father.

"Asking a question? Sorry to say, but even if you were part of the gate, some things are too valuable for your own sake," I smirk. Putting my hand again inside my coat, another pair of gloves appear.

"How did you do that? I checked your body fully to see if you had anything on and you didn't have an extra pair of gloves," Father exclaimed.

"Dumbass. These are the same gloves you tried to steal. I'll of course make counter-measures to stop you," I mocked.

"Your energy reserves are gone and you think you can beat with martial arts alone? I pity unintelligent apes like you." said Father.

"Sadly, people like you will never learn." Quickly using a foot to draw an alkahestric circle, I summoned a bunch of gas in the room.

"Gas? My body has no need for the likes oxygen and is completely resistant to poison." looked down Father.

"It may be gas, but you know something interesting? I don't need to fight against you..." I whisper.

Gas covered the entire room and Father stomped with his leg, creating a bunch of wind to get rid of the smoke. Looking around, all he could see was the corpse of the doctor and me gone.

"Where did that cockroach go?" Suddenly, he could feel something going on with his energy reserves. Father rushed back to his chamber to notice me ending Pride's life, and stealing his philosopher stone.

"You think you can defeat me with that measly amount? I recommend you surrender," mocked Father.

"Can you like...stop saying the same line over and over? And this stone is plenty enough to kill you." Eating the stone again, I clasp my hands and create multiple alkahestric reverses around the room.

"STOP!" Father stomped angrily to destroy the circles, however, the damage was already done.

"This is way better than the stupid stone." Taking a deep breathe in, I exhale slowly, and touch my forehead rune.

"Now... my energy reserves are full. Let's keep the battle ongoing, shall we?" Smirking, I take out my weapons and All the World's Evil tentacles come out of my body. Father reacts back by making a barrier and his own tentacles come out, trying to stab me.

The duel was pointless. We both couldn't do anything to each other since I was too fast while he couldn't get hurt from his shield.

"Can your energy please deplete!" I yell.

"Become my human sacrifice!" he yells back.

"You give me no choice. Self Afflict!" Shouting this cursed skill, I deplete 10% off from my emotions to strengthen my gloves.

[Self Afflict - 53% -> 43%]

"Destroy his barrier! Einz! Mach 10! Unyou - Speed of Light! " Shouting my strongest skill I have available. I destroy his barrier with a bullet and slash extremely quick diagonally through his entire torso.

"NO!" Regenerating his body back, Father clasp his hands and slammed the ground. Metal pillars started forming and I started dodging. I could dodge at first, but the lack of space underground made me stuck, and finally a blow landed. A dent was formed and I spurted blood out of my mouth.

"That fucking hurt cunt!" I laughed. It was so long since I had a fair fight since my coming to this world.

'I wish I could create my reality marble, but this world's physics are completely retarded.' Taking another deep breath, I shout.

"DIE YOU FUCKER!"

Father kept on spamming metal pillars and I was cutting through them with Shigemura as if they were tofu. Realizing my state was running almost empty. I released my summoned gun Einz and concentrated everything I had on my katana.

'Just like old times...' Knowing this might be an enemy I didn't have enough to fight against, I smile bitterly.

'I guess I'll see you brothers later than I thought...'

From the chamber, two loud sounds were heard. One loud buzzing slash, and the sound of bashing.
