Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

Yuuka agreed, watching Chaos warily.

Chaos frowned slightly, looking at the large number of mercenaries in front of him and the Miki Yuuka behind him, the red light in his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

"The first task is to find my family... An obstacle appears. Analysis shows that the obstacle is not related to me, so it is not valuable... Something of no value is blocking my way. Judgment: Eliminate."

The entire laboratory was filled with gunshots and screams in the next second, accompanied by the sound of flesh being torn apart. Even outside the laboratory, the strong smell of gunpowder and blood could be smelled.

Five minutes later, the smell of blood still lingered, but the screams had disappeared.

Blood seeped from the cracks in the tightly closed laboratory door, staining the stone pavement outside.

Click!

The door opened, and the once-clean white coat was now stained red. Chaos, covered in blood, walked slowly out of the door with a cold expression, leaving a bloody footprint on the ground with each step.

“Father...I’ve come to find you.”

Chapter 1208: The Malice of the World

Isaac and the others were unaware of what had happened in a certain laboratory; they simply brought Mizuhara Onihachi and his Initiator, Red Dew Hatsune, back and began to keep a close watch on them.

Of course, not the entire company has to guard these two. Everyone else should do what they need to do. The only ones guarding them are Isaac, Violet, and the samurai girl, Asaka Mibu.

"The company is very safe, and if I protect you, you don't need to worry about your survival rate."

"Thank you very much, but... about the cost..."

As Mizuhara Onihachi spoke, he looked at the bill in front of him. The bill stretched from head to toe and was rolled up on the ground. The charges listed on it made the bill two meters long.

"This is the first time I've ever seen a bill like this, with all this cat and mouse stuff going on."

“Because I’m personally protecting you, it means this is the company’s highest level of service,” Isaac said. “Besides, we also need to allocate manpower to investigate that organization, so of course the fee is high.”

"...Even if everything we're doing now is to protect the Tokyo area?"

"Yeah, protecting the Tokyo area is such a big deal, shouldn't I get a bigger share of the profits?"

Isaac patted Mizuhara Onihachi on the shoulder as he spoke.

"Don't worry, even if it costs a lot, if everything you do is really for the protection of the Tokyo area, the Emperor will pay for it for you. You can even get this mission for free."

"Oh! I see."

Upon hearing that he wouldn't have to pay such a high fee, Mizuhara Onihachi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"So, can you tell me more about that organization now?"

“I don’t know much about that organization, only that it’s very powerful and has infiltrated every corner of Tokyo, or even all of Japan,” Mizuhara Onihachi said solemnly. “Although some of the organization’s members were lost due to the ‘divine punishment incident’ a few months ago.”

"'Divine Punishment Incident'?"

"That terrible disaster that caused the loss of five million lives in the Tokyo area, the cause of which is unknown, and some people say they saw a giant eye covering half of Tokyo and black tentacles emerging from the ground. People believe it was divine punishment."

"Oh...please continue."

"The organization's name is currently unknown, but it's worth mentioning that every member of the organization will have a tattoo-like symbol on their body."

Mizuhara Onihachi began to draw with his hand.

"It's a symbol that looks like wings. The number of wings represents his or her status in the organization. Generally, one wing is the lowest level, and five wings are the highest level."

"Yes, there's more."

Isaac nodded, signaling Mizuhara Onihachi to continue.

After a pause, Mizuhara Onihachi's expression grew even more serious: "And as far as I know, members of this organization have now infiltrated some power institutions in the Tokyo area. I was hunted down because I found out about some of them."

"for example?"

“Atsuro Koma, the current Superintendent of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department,” Mizuhara Onihachi said.

"...Atsuro Kotobuki?"

"Yes."

"The boss's blind date?"

Is there such a connection?

"Tsk, this is getting serious."

Isaac originally thought that this organization was probably just some scoundrels in the power structures of various regions, and that he probably didn't know most of them. He didn't expect that it would involve people on his side.

"...How am I supposed to explain this to the boss?" Isaac asked, somewhat troubled. "I was originally planning to arrest that person and interrogate him, but it's really not convenient to do so now."

"Hey, even if there's no connection, it's not good to just arrest a police inspector like this..."

“If circumstances allow, I can capture the Holy Emperor.”

"..."

We need to think of a way...

Click!

Just as Isaac was pondering how to explain things to Kisara Tendo, the door suddenly opened, and Kisara Tendo walked in looking anxious.

"Ah, boss, you've come at the right time, I have something to tell you..."

“Isaac, it’s so good to have you here.” Kisara Tendo said hurriedly, “There’s a sudden Gastrea invasion in Shinjuku, and the regular police can’t handle it. We need you to go over there.”

"what?"

Gastrea have invaded the city? This is no small matter; it proves that Gastrea can resist the entry of holmium metal walls into the city.

Send me the location.

"Ok."

----------

Chaos emerged from the laboratory, wearing nothing but a blood-stained white lab coat.

She gazed at everything in this world with her crimson eyes; everything here aroused the curiosity of this newly born experimental subject.

The barefoot experimental subject girl walked for an unknown amount of time before finally arriving at a place that looked like it had a lot of people.

She went up to those people and asked them where her father was.

However, before she could get close, the people around her looked at her with disgust.

"The Cursed Child?"

Why would a cursed child walk the streets?

"Why don't these disgusting bastards just die?"

"There's blood on him, could he have just killed someone?"

"Quickly find someone to drive this beast away."

From birth, almost every human she encountered showed her malice.

She blinked in confusion. Why would they express such deep malice towards someone they had just met?

At this moment, a middle-aged man walked over, holding a black blade in his hand, a hint of anger in his eyes.

"The cursed child dares to show his face here? Get out of here right now!"

No one around him stopped him; on the contrary, some people took pictures and cheered him on.

"..."

Chaos paused for a moment, then said calmly.

“Analysis shows that there are 572 people within a one-kilometer radius, all of whom are hostile towards me, and none of them are my father. Therefore, I conclude that they are of no value, and those who are of no value can be excluded.”

After saying that, Chaos suddenly stepped forward and, before the middle-aged man could react, inserted his slender fingers into his neck.

The moment his finger pierced his skin, a large amount of gastrovirus surged into his body. The middle-aged man let out a shrill scream, his veins bulged all over his body, and his eyes turned red.

After everything happened last night, Chaos simply picked up the middle-aged man with one hand and threw him into the crowd.

Those around were stunned by the sudden scene, but what happened next was even more terrifying.

The middle-aged man suddenly swelled up all over, and his body exploded, with a bird-shaped Gastrea covered in feathers emerging from his body.

Gastrea!?

"Aaaaaah!!! Help!"

"Run!"

Those around tried to escape, but were instantly torn to pieces by the newly born Gastrea. The entire street was instantly filled with severed limbs and the stench of blood.

Chaos stood on this hellish street, his eyes coldly fixed on everything.

Chapter 1209: Whom Should We Call Father?

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Why are there Gastrea here!?

"Run!"

"Go find the police!!!"

Suddenly, a bird-like gastrulous creature opened its beak, which was full of sharp teeth, and tore the person in front of it in half before they could escape, with blood spurting all over the street.

That wasn't all. Suddenly, the avian gastrulosaur flapped its wings, sending feathers flying out like sharp blades, pinning a large number of fleeing people to the ground.

"hiss--"

It raised its head and let out a sharp whistle, and its wings began to flap.

As the birds and gastrulosaurs flapped their wings, a huge gust of wind swept across the ground, blowing away billboards and trash cans from the street, and even making the streetlights sway precariously.

Once this Gastrea takes to the air, the entire Tokyo area will become its hunting ground, and the death toll will be horrific.

Chaos stared at the corpses and blood strewn across the ground, his crimson pupils filled with nothing but indifference.

She was only a few days old and had no feelings, so naturally she couldn't possibly have any feelings of guilt or anything like that.

She simply glanced at the Gastrea she had created and that had taken to the sky, and continued walking forward.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the birds and gastrulosaurs that had taken flight suddenly fell, crashing heavily to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.
