Inside the test site, almost everyone present was celebrating.
They celebrated the success of their plan, and the birth of a truly perfect life before them.
Although the project progressed slowly before Edward arrived, and most of the progress so far has come from Edward's efforts.
Without the Philosopher's Stone, they would likely remain stuck here for who knows how many more years.
However, objectively speaking, they did indeed participate in the creation of perfect life.
"Fantastic! Our goal has been achieved! It's a miracle, a miracle!"
Of course, not everyone was unhappy. For example, there was the perfect failed life model still in the cell, and the prisoners who were there as spare consumables and had just witnessed everything that had just happened.
They were lucky because Edward's experiment went smoothly, and they didn't need to be put into the transmutation circle for the time being.
They were also unfortunate, as Edward's enemies, watching him demonstrate his abilities as a perfect being.
"Damn it, I knew these damn lunatics would create a monster sooner or later."
Look at what they did, that thing, that thing that could perhaps have been called human in the past...
It's unimaginable that we might end up living in a world with such a monster.
A wizard curled up his body as much as possible, seemingly trying to escape reality in this way.
He was a spy. It could be said that among the four kingdoms surrounding the El Empire, only the Orcs, because they were still tribes and lacked a unified government, rarely sent spies in.
Everyone else was paying close attention to the actions of the El Empire, especially the situation of the high-level alchemists.
After all, those three alchemists back then had quietly done them a terrible job.
These researchers enabled them to successfully establish a nation, and everyone is afraid that one day these guys might create a big scandal.
It's a mild case that the El Empire would self-destruct; it's almost certain that they, as bystanders, would be affected.
The rulers of these countries are genuinely afraid that one day they might wake up to find their nation had been targeted by an alchemist; whatever the outcome, it would be terrifying enough.
That's indeed the case. If Edward hadn't been born into this world, two scenarios could have occurred.
One possibility is that the El Empire will spend more time completing its perfect life cycle and then begin attempting to rule the world.
Another issue is that they are unable to complete the mental enhancement and then create the berserk, perfect life form.
A fleshy monster, just like a failed experiment, yet possesses almost invincible abilities...
"It seems that the kingdom's worst-case scenario has come to pass. These alchemists have truly gone mad."
Edward, a truly perfect being, would change things; it's almost obvious without even thinking about it.
Seeing no hope whatsoever, he chose to give up resisting and quietly await death.
On the other side, after everyone's cheers subsided, Edward gestured to them that he had something to say.
"Father, you should have seen it, right? Our perfect life plan has succeeded."
Moreover, as a result of the experiment, I now perfectly meet our expectations.
Edward clenched his fists to assess his condition. It wasn't just the physical enhancements; his mind was more agile than before, and he now had several new ideas, which he was ready to try out when the opportunity arose.
"This should be the direction of life's evolution, and this is the attitude we should have."
Natural evolution has always been described with a simple and crude word: failure.
We have now successfully customized it.
