Just as Yang Cheng had guessed, Ulysses was King Clough's confidant. He was naturally grateful to Yang Cheng and Morton for exposing the matter in time, but at the same time, he was also very frightened.
Regardless of the outcome, once the matter escalates, it will be a huge blow to His Majesty's rule.
Master Morton looked at Ulysses and said, "Commander Ulysses, you've seen the situation."
Even with the combined strength of the entire Alchemist Guild, President Salil could only temporarily halt the spread of the sacrificial array.
Only by slaying the divine being in the bottle can Hohenheim be stopped.
Ulysses nodded and looked at Yang Cheng, saying, "Mr. Yang, you were the first to discover this matter. I've also heard about how you defeated Noynes and Wood in the dungeon."
The Dragon Riders will all obey your orders. As long as you can slay this thing, His Majesty will absolutely not mistreat a meritorious official.
Ulysses chose Yang Cheng as his leader not only because Yang Cheng was the first to discover this matter, but also because even Ulysses was somewhat unsure of Yang Cheng's abilities.
Ulysses knew about the guy in the dungeon, and he didn't take Noynes seriously at all. Wood's power was a bit strange, but Ulysses was confident.
However, Yang Cheng actually forced a god to retreat in front of everyone, which was quite terrifying.
Unsure of Yang Cheng's abilities, and knowing that the matter concerned His Majesty's prestige and the safety of the entire Saint Brand, Ulysses conceded, even agreeing to let Yang Cheng issue orders.
At this moment, Guild Master Salil used the Alchemy Cannon once again, and with a deafening roar, finally shattered Hohenheim's alchemy array.
It's important to know that Salil's alchemical cannon is used for large-scale wars; a single shot can destroy a small city.
This alchemical giant cannon was only used a few times when the Assyrian Kingdom was conquering the continent.
The fact that it now takes two cannon shots to shatter Hohenheim's formation is quite astonishing.
Seeing that the formation had shattered, Hohenheim smashed the flask. The little figure inside the flask floated in mid-air and suddenly opened its eyes, but the eyes were pitch black, without any whites.
"Homunculus, my greatest masterpiece!"
Even if she has only absorbed a small portion of divine power, she is still a god!
How could you possibly be a match for a god?
Hohenheim's eyes were filled with fanaticism and madness.
He only wanted to see a god he had created with his own hands. The lives of millions of civilians in Saint Brand were just a number to him, no different from those alchemical materials.
These kinds of madmen are the most terrifying, even more so than Count Nat who sacrificed evil gods.
At least they knew what they were doing, but Hohenheim was indifferent to life from the bottom of his heart.
Yang Cheng sensed the aura emanating from Homonkulus, and his expression changed slightly.
This thing possesses the aura of the cherubim, the god of wisdom, but she is not a cherubim. Furthermore, because she has absorbed some of the soul power from the inhabitants of Saint Brand, she exhibits a different kind of bloody and cruel flavor.
At that moment, Homunculus suddenly turned around and looked at Hohenheim.
She reached out a hand and gently shook it.
In an instant, Hohenheim's heart exploded, and a bloody hole appeared in his chest.
Yang Cheng and the others never expected that one of the people Homonculus killed after appearing in the world was actually Hohenheim, who created her.
Looking down at the bloody hole in his chest, Hohenheim's eyes showed surprise and disbelief.
The next moment, he suddenly smiled and said, "I understand. How could the supreme god tolerate her being created by a weak person?"
"What a pity, I haven't seen you at your true peak yet, what a shame."
Hohenheim felt no regret or hatred. He created Homunculus not because of power or worldly desires, but simply because he wanted to see with his own eyes the creation of a powerful god.
It's just a pity that we were just one step away.
Hohenheim's body fell to the ground, and Homonkurus looked at Yang Cheng and the others, sensing their power.
Yang Cheng squinted and said, "Commander Ulysses, I suggest you have your cavalry regiment temporarily withdraw. Facing an existence of this level, their fate won't be much better than Hohenheim's."
Facing a god, even a newly born one, there was nothing one could do but confront it head-on with sheer power.
"Besides you and me, the only one qualified to take action is Pollitz, the leader of the Night's Watch. Even Guild Master Salil can't get close, or he'll be instantly killed."
Ulysses possessed a powerful physical body, and Pollit's physical strength was not weak either; only they were qualified to confront Homunculus head-on.
Although Salil's alchemy is powerful, his physical body is extremely fragile, making it too dangerous for him to approach.
At this moment, Hormonculus suddenly raised his hand, and Yang Cheng and the other two immediately sensed a powerful and invisible force surging towards them.
A thick, dense aura of bloodlust appeared in front of Yang Cheng, while the Prison Suppression Barrier simultaneously blocked his path.
Pollit chanted an incantation, and holy light emanated from him, transforming into wings to block his path.
Ulysses was the most aggressive, actually using offense as defense, drawing the long sword from his waist, and an extremely sharp and transcendent blade light bloomed, as if tearing through space.
A blood-red and golden light shield shone in front of Yang Cheng, and the double protection was almost broken. Yang Cheng's figure was also forced to retreat.
Pollitt's wings of holy light shattered instantly, and he was sent flying backward.
