Chapitre 575: 575. Complete Again
"What are you?" Hohenheim bluntly asked.
"God," Alexander also nonchalantly replied. At the stage he was, he couldn't bother to drag things, also, he felt something different in the man.
Hohenheim was taken aback by the shameless claim. "What makes you believe that?"
"The point that I basically travel the universe and visit different civilizations. The fact that I have the power to send people to hell or heaven. Also, because I really am a god." Alexander replied.
But, he then looked at Hohenheim with a suspicious gaze, "What about you? Why do you have so many sad souls stuck inside you? Much more than the Homonculus I have punished till now. Are you one of them too?"
Hohenheim was once again speechless. He didn't expect for Alexander to read him so fast and easily. All his life, no one had been able to sense the souls inside him, more so because unlike the other Homunculus, he had calmed the souls down by talking with them.
Hohenheim had a feeling that lying wasn't going to be profitable at the moment so he honestly answered Alexander.
"I... I was there when the Xerxes was sacrificed by the dwarf. In fact, the dwarf was made with my blood..." Hohenheim went on to tell him his whole life story.
Alexander nodded at times and listened to him with concentration. He was understanding everything now.
"It is sad what happened to your wife. However, you should have gone back to check on your sons. Then maybe, they wouldn't be in the condition they are right now. All they wanted was a family, a loved one, and for it, they did the Human Transmutation. Anyway, do you know why this Father is doing all this? Why does he need another Philosopher's stone, of this size?" Alexander inquired.
Hohenheim denied, "I do not know. What I know is that he must be stopped, or else, everyone in Amestris will die, just like you announced."
"Haha, no, no one will die. I have already destroyed their tunnel. Anyway, why don't you ask Alphonse and Edward to come in? I have something for them." He advised.
Hohenheim did call them in as he wanted to see what it was. For now, in his mind, the top priority was to stop Father, then to find out who Alexander really was.
He had not taken Alexander calling himself a god seriously as in his mind if god existed, all these wars wouldn't have happened. But this was a misconception in all mortals' minds. Does a parent dictate the whole life of their child? Does a parent babysit their child even after he grows to be an adult? That was how god was. He was with the mortals at their inception, but when they grew enough to have their own thoughts and ideologies, God let them be.
It was humanity that was at fault for straying away and succumbing to their violent tendencies. For indulging people who desired war and destruction while killing those who desired peace. God only made humans, but it was humans that made war.
Soon, the two brothers entered with confusion visible on their faces. "Fuhrer,"
"Haha, don't call me a Fuhrer. I remember some funny memories because of it. Anyway, come here and sit down. I have something to discuss.
"I know that you two have been on this whole journey to get your limbs and body back. Well, I have good news. I can help you get them back," Alexander revealed.
He was going to ignore what Truth had said about not meddling with these two's destiny because Alexander had changed so many things by now that it had changed the destiny of the whole world.
Alphonse and Edward got excited and asked, "What is it, Fuhrer?"
"Okay, first of all, call me Grandpa." Alexander corrected them and continued.
"I had a talk with the being called truth. We came to the conclusion that from now on, he will not be taking away people's limbs. So, I can give Edward his limbs back and Alphonse his body back. Alphonse, you just need to do the same human transmutation you did before and go meet truth. He will give you your body." He explained it to them.
Not just the two brothers, but now even Hohenheim was in a bit of shock. ~How can someone negotiate with the Truth?~ he wondered. '
"Really? But how?" Edward inquired excitedly.
"Don't ask that. Just know that I used this same trick to heal your teacher." He revealed, much to the amazement of the two brothers.
Alexander then looked at Hohenheim, "Don't make that face, I was not joking when I said who I was."
Soon, he cleared the room and let the Elric brothers make a transmutation circle. The two brothers worked together and also initiated it at the same time.
As it happened in normal cases, little 2 dimensional black hands came out of the brightly lit matrix and caught hold of the two brothers. They didn't even have to talk to the Truth and in real-time, Edward's libs rematerialized.
Then came Alphonse's turn. His case was a bit special as he had no idea in what condition his body was. So, when Alphonse's body started rematerializing around his soul, right inside the armor, everyone was nervous, except Alexander.
No one could see how Alphonse was as he was inside the steel armor. Alexander waved his hand and disintegrated the armor. Suddenly, a weak frail Alphonse was about to fall. Edward ran and caught him while Alexander again waved his hand and materialized clothes on him.
Alexander crouched near him. "How are you feeling, Alphonse?"
Alphonse smiled and talked excitedly, "I... it feels so good to be breathing. To smell again, to feel touch..."
Unknowingly, a drop of tear fell down his cheeks. He was happy, emotional, and at peace finally. Living in that armor was too scary for him as he didn't know when his soul would reject the armor.
"You are weak, Al. Don't move too much." Edward worriedly advised him.
Hohenheim also came closer to the boys. He caressed Alphonse's head, and then Edward's.
"Your body only lacks nutrition. I will create some potion for you. It will supplement your body and rid any efficiency, son." He said.
Alphonse stared at his father. "Dad,"
"I am sorry, Al... Ed... I was not a good father. I couldn't keep my promise to Trisha. You had to go through so much. But I went away because I had found out about the plans of the Dwarf. Even now, although his plan was ruined, we must still stop the Dwarf, as I believe he is only temporarily stopped." Hohenheim said.
"We know, dad. You were doing everything to protect us." Edward said, finally accepting everything. He knew that he would have done the same. The death of his mother was tragic but Hohenheim was not responsible for it.
Hohenheim's mouth stayed open as he heard Edward calling him dad. He had thought he had lost the right to be called this.
With a sad face and nearly teary eyes, he quickly hugged them tightly, "Thank you,"
Alexander stayed back for the entirety of the exchange. He was remembering some long-gone memories. But suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder.
He looked back, "Don't the two boys remind you of them?"
"Yeah, they do. They do." She muttered and held his hand as they watched the father and son's true reunion.
