Will this wondrous being give me the answer I seek?
The monster, which might be called a chimera and was still struggling inside the cage, was not a ferocious creature in Edward's eyes.
On the contrary, because he felt that this might become a stepping stone towards his goal, Edward felt that what was in front of him was more precious than gold.
"Come on, let me see what's wrong with you..."
The newly born chimera seems to be in a state of complete mental chaos, constantly trying to cause destruction based solely on instinct.
Because this change enhanced its physical attributes, the cage bars did indeed deform under continuous attacks.
Alice wanted to use alchemy to suppress the monster to prevent Edward from getting hurt, but she was stopped.
"It's not a problem; having energy is a good thing."
The left hand touched the cage, activating the transmutation array on it and triggering the alchemy technique that alters the metal.
The metal changed from a solid to a liquid-like state, but remained hard.
Chimera didn't have time to escape; her limbs were tightly bound, and she finally lay motionless on the ground.
"See, Alice, it's simple, isn't it? This guy can't hurt me."
Because Edward's adjustments were precise enough, these restraints were just right, preventing the chimera from moving its limbs or injuring itself by exerting force.
Edward's hand was placed on Chimera's forehead.
"â– ..."
This scene could perhaps be described as, "An immortal touches my head, granting me eternal life."
Edward extended his mental energy, just as he would when activating alchemy, to sense the chimera before him and its chaotic mental state.
Following his inspiration, Edward attempted to transform his mental energy into a spike and pierce the target's brain.
"Is that so? I think I saw something?"
He "saw" something—well, he didn't know how to describe it.
The color blocks are completely different. The center is flesh-colored, and there are also white, yellow, and blue ones, as if they have been glued on.
These different colored blocks wriggled and attacked each other, trying to separate, yet they were slowly combining and assimilating.
soul.
Although he had never seen a soul before, Edward had a feeling that what he was seeing now might be what people call a soul.
"It's that simple, I saw the soul? If that's the case, why didn't any of the previous people succeed?"
Edward wondered if creating a completely out-of-control chimera would make it easier for the target's soul to be exposed.
Then, by concentrating one's spiritual power to a certain degree and transforming it into a sharp spike to pierce through the protection, one can penetrate deep into the target's soul world.
As long as one's will is strong enough, one can ensure that the soul entering this place will not be affected by that soul polymer.
Isn't this simple? Why didn't those alchemists in the past give it a try? Were they unwilling?
(Alchemist: Oh right, right, look at yourself, is what you're saying even human language?)
"It doesn't matter anymore. Anyway, I saw what I wanted and got the best operating platform."
Instead of immediately altering the soul polymer, Edward tried a different approach.
Mental energy is injected into the transmutation array to activate alchemy. In theory, the transmutation array is not necessary in this process.
The purpose of these patterns is to assist mental energy in completing the shaping process, transforming it into the form required by alchemy.
Therefore, ordinary people can actually complete the formation without arrays, as long as they have sufficient spatial configuration ability and precision of mental power.
