Bab 217: Prologue

— A Week Later - New York - Alchemont Estate —

Deep within the hidden depths of the Alchemont Clan's underground laboratory, an aura of mysticism and scientific mastery intermingled. This sacred chamber was the Homunculus storage, a repository of life and souls, where the boundary between life and death was blurred, and the promise of immortality became a tangible reality.

Rows of crystalline vats stood sentinel in this chamber, each one containing a precious Homunculus, a lifelike duplicate crafted with utmost precision. The vats emitted a soft, ethereal glow, casting an otherworldly radiance upon the polished stone floor.

The room was kept at a constant temperature, a testament to the meticulous care given to its contents. The faint hum of hidden machinery reverberated through the air, underscoring the complex alchemical processes at work.
