Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

"If there are no conditions, create them; it's a very simple thing to do."

Standing behind the three, Isaac spoke in a detached tone, as if it were a matter of course.

“Isaac…”

Akira turned around, his eyes filled with surprise and fear.

"What exactly is this...?"

“Nothing to be surprised about. I just did what I wanted to do before I left here,” Isaac laughed. “Just as you expected, this is my gift to the Tokyo area.”

"why?"

"Ok?"

"Why would you do such a thing?!" Akimaro Tsubasa roared. "Chaos is dead, and you're going to abandon your humanity and destroy everyone?"

"No, Chaos is not dead, he is just asleep."

Isaac said with a smile.

"But you should know that the Chaos incident was caused by a mob. And why did a mob emerge here? It's because such a product does indeed appear in this historical context. If we want the cursed child to live better in this era, we need to keep the era moving forward, and the forward movement of the era will inevitably be accompanied by sacrifices."

"That's complete fallacy! The people you killed were all innocent civilians!"

"Whether they are innocent or not, I don't know. All I know is..."

Isaac smiled.

In Akimaru Niizawa's eyes, Isaac's smile was like that of a bloodthirsty demon.

"They are of no value to me whatsoever; they are nothing more than a group of stumbling blocks that hinder the progress of the times."

"You bastard!!"

Akimaru Tsuzawa can no longer accept the current insane Isaac.

As soon as he stepped on the ground, he rushed to Isaac's side and twisted his body to punch Isaac.

"Wake up!!!"

"stop!!"

Kisara Tendo, recovering from his shock, hurriedly tried to stop Akimaro Nagasawa from attacking Isaac.

Faced with the fierce punch, Isaac easily dodged to the side and placed his palm on Akimaro Shoji's abdomen at the same time.

Bang!

With a muffled thud, Akimaro Kisawa felt his internal organs churn, and he was sent flying backward, crashing to the ground.

"Well……"

"Shōma!"

Akimaru Tsuzawa knelt on the ground, clutching his stomach, while Midori Fuse tried to help him up.

With difficulty, he stood up and glared angrily at Isaac, whose expression remained indifferent.

"Have you... been driven mad by anger and lost your mind?"

"You think too much."

Isaac said casually, then picked up the remote control that was on his desk.

Pressing the switch on the remote control turned on the large screen, which was playing the news at that moment.

A massive explosion occurred in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo!

It is understood that the chemical products were ignited by hesitant, mutated gastrula.

Residents are urged not to go out and to stay at home as much as possible.

Estimated number of direct deaths...

Tiandong Civil Security Company has dispatched police officers to control the situation...

Akimaru Tsuzawa and Kisara Tendo stared blankly at the news, their minds filled with a multitude of questions.

“Brother Ti Ze, if you simply think that I did all this just to vent my anger, then you don’t understand me at all. Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner just as I planned.”

“Isaac, you…”

"If you think that losing just a few people is enough, then I can tell you very clearly that this is just the beginning."

Facing the terrified Tendo Kisara and Niizawa Akimasa, Isaac opened his arms, revealing a cheerful yet unusually cruel smile.

"Welcome to the 'New Era'."

……

...

Isaac left the office without being stopped by either Kisara Tendo or Akimaro Nagasawa.

They were all filled with mixed feelings, unsure of how to face Isaac in the future.

“Shaving”.

Tendo Kisara realized what was happening and, together with Fuse Midori, helped Tsubasa Akimasa up.

"That's terrifying..."

Akira Tsurugi's eyes were lifeless as he muttered to himself.

"I know Isaac is terrifying right now, and losing Chaos must be really hard for me." Tears welled up in Tendo Kisara's eyes.

She had spent a long time with Chaos, and when she learned that Chaos had been killed by a mob, her anger was about to overflow.

However, she eventually calmed down.

“Isaac is now consumed by anger, we must…”

“No, you don’t understand, Kisara,” Akimasa Tanizawa said. “Isaac… he wasn’t driven by anger.”

"what?"

"Look outside at the bombed area, where is that?"

"That place is..."

When Tendo Kisara looked out the window at the sea of ​​fire that had blackened the sky, he froze on the spot.

"That place is..."

"Because of the company's ever-expanding power, the Tokyo area's top management deliberately placed most of the remaining military forces in the area not far from the company in order to monitor it, and that was the epicenter of the explosion."

Akimaro Niizawa's eyes were already somewhat unfocused.

"As expected, the news was broadcast immediately after the explosion. This was all pre-arranged. Isaac's goal is to use this opportunity to completely take control of the military in the Tokyo area, replace the Emperor as the ruler here, and this is probably just the beginning..."

"What!?"

“Mugen, Isaac is very calm. Even though his heart is filled with anger, his mind is unusually clear. That’s what makes Isaac so terrifying.”

Akira Tsuzawa looked at Kisara Tendo with a bitter smile.

"We... have absolutely no chance of stopping him."

------------

"Mr. Satomi, are you here to direct the rescue efforts?"

"Yes, the incalculable consequences are due to the repeated delays and negligence in the Tokyo area regarding the latent presence of gastroenteritis. The company has decided to personally address this issue, so please rest assured."

Standing outside the fire, Isaac answered the pre-arranged questions from reporters with a blank expression, his eyes fixed on the raging street in front of him.

It was supposed to be a rescue operation, but there were no survivors inside.

He lowered his head, took out the Philosopher's Stone that contained Chaos's soul, and murmured to himself softly.

"It will be soon, Chaos, just wait a little longer."

Chapter 1235: Do you need a son?

The area that turned into a sea of ​​fire covered a very large area, equivalent to a large district in the Tokyo area.

The death toll is over 100,000.

The area around the fire was cordoned off with strips of cloth, with only armed police officers from the Tiandong Civil Security Company standing outside, and fire trucks spraying water onto the burning area.

Of course, all of this is done for the public to see.

Logically, the civilian organizations represented by Isaac should not have been able to seal off the disaster site before such official organizations intervened. However, there are no official organizations in the Tokyo area now.

When Isaac made this decision, power was no longer in the hands of the Holy Emperor and her advisors.

Isaac's goal is to seize power in the Tokyo area so that he can better carry out his future plans.

"Mr. Isaac."

One of the company's police officers came to Isaac, who had just finished an interview, to report the situation.

"how's it going?"

"The Gastrea carcasses have already been removed."

"very good."

According to Isaac, the main cause of the explosion was that someone suddenly turned into a Gastrea, so the Gastrea carcass must be presented as evidence.

As for where the Gastrea carcasses came from, they were naturally created from a virus extracted from Chaos's blood by randomly picking a mob and then dumping it at the fire scene.

Even if these things aren't done perfectly, it doesn't matter, since he's already manipulating public opinion throughout Tokyo.

What the truth is has never mattered, but someone needs to tell them 'this is the truth'.

All the blame has been shifted by Isaac to the mismanagement of the Tokyo area's top management.

"You all stay here and keep watch. I have to go back first."

"Yes... but Mr. Isaac, what if someone tries to force their way into the restricted area?"

“There’s no surplus force in the Tokyo area to deal with our affairs, and no one will try to break through the blockade zone,” Isaac said. “If anyone does, you are free to open fire.”

"Yes."
