Since I've dropped a few collectibles, I'll just ask for the next one …

"Major Armstrong." Mustang stared at Sei Itō who was standing in the warehouse and called out to Armstrong who had just walked back.
"Here." Armstrong's tall body lowered slightly as he whispered into Mustang's ear.
"Restrain him from the front like before. Try to force him to the corner," Major Mustang said in a low voice. Then, he shouted, "Edward, try to find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Affect his movements and provide Major Armstrong with an opportunity."
"Okay." Edward's gaze fell on Sei Itō as he said in a deep voice.
"Lieutenant Hawke, if there's an opportunity, don't hesitate to shoot him," Mustang said to the beautiful adjutant beside him.
"Yes," the beautiful adjutant Hawke replied.
"I'll handle the rest of the firepower." Mustang finished giving out orders and suddenly shouted, "Go!"
Immediately, Major Armstrong and Edward rushed toward Sei Itō. On the other hand, Alphonse pressed his hands on the alchemy circle on the ground and activated alchemy.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang ~" While the others were moving, Lieutenant Hawke's gunfire also rang out. With the flashing of sparks, bullets flew toward Sei Itō.
Seeing the attack from the opposite side, Sei Itō moved the Heavenly Sword in his hand and deflected the flying bullets with a wave of his hand. Then, he moved his feet and dodged the attack of the Earth Spear that rushed out from the side. He then rushed toward Armstrong and Edward.
Along the way, Armstrong's fists flashed with blue lightning. A straight punch wrapped in a transparent shockwave blasted toward Sheyan first.
Sei Itō moved his feet and changed his position according to the Jiu Gong. His body suddenly blurred as he dodged Major Armstrong's heavy punch. At the same time, the Heavenly Sword in his hand stabbed at a strange angle toward the flaw that Armstrong had exposed when he punched out.
Just as Sei Itō's Heavenly Sword was about to stab Major Armstrong, Edward's left hand swiped across the mechanical arm of his right hand. A sharp sword tip emerged and collided with Sei Itō's Heavenly Sword at lightning speed, blocking the dangerous blow for Major Armstrong.
"Thanks." Armstrong said as he retracted his fist and turned around to throw another punch at Sei Itō's upper body.
"You're welcome," Edward replied casually and kicked Sei Itō's lower body.
Sei Itō tapped his toes on the ground and quickly retreated to avoid their attacks. At this time, another gunshot rang out. A bullet hit Sei Itō's arm by a hair's breadth and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
"Aiya, aiya, that was really dangerous." Sei Itō raised his hand and looked at the small round hole in his clothes as he spoke to the stunned people in front of him.
"Are you still human?" Edward said without any nervousness.
Sei Itō was not in the mood to pay attention to his ridicule. He just changed his footwork a few times and rushed in front of Edward. He used Pine Welcoming Sword and pointed the tip of his sword at Edward's throat.
"Be careful!" Major Armstrong hurriedly shouted and threw a punch at Heavenly Sword.
With a flick of his wrist, Ito Sei's sword immediately changed. His sword moved in the direction of Major Armstrong's fist. Halfway through, he suddenly wanted to make a small arc with his sword and then immediately lift it up …
"Swoosh!" A sound similar to that of a cool breeze rang out. Under Armstrong's astonished and shocked gaze, the wrist that he had thrown out was immediately separated from his body, and blood splattered everywhere as it flew out.
"Major Armstrong." Edward's pupils shrank as he cried out involuntarily.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang …" At this time, a series of gunshots rang out, quickly shooting at Sei Itō's vital points. Be it the forehead, eyes, neck, chest, limbs, as long as they could stop Sei Itō from continuing to move, they were all shot at.
Because the gunshots were too dense, Sei Itō had to dodge the attacks on his head and use his body to take the other bullets. He quickly retreated for a distance. Immediately, a violent heat wave suddenly appeared around his body and enveloped him again.
"Alfons, imprison him immediately," Colonel Mustang shouted as he set Sei Itō on fire.
"Got it," Alfons, who had been squatting by the side and looking for an opportunity to attack, said.
"Hmph!" In the flames, Sei Itō snorted coldly. The Ki wrapped around his body suddenly erupted, instantly blowing away the flames in front of him like a hurricane. Then, he turned into a black shadow and reappeared in front of Edward and Major Armstrong. The Heavenly Sword in his hand trembled slightly, stabbing, slashing, slashing … The continuous attacks instantly enveloped the two of them.
After a while, when Sei Itō's sword light stopped again, Major Armstrong was covered in blood and kneeling on the ground with his eyes closed. Behind him was Edward, whose right mechanical arm was completely broken and had a dull look on his face.
"Brother, Major Armstrong." Alfons couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the situation of the two of them.
"Bastard." Colonel Mustang yelled angrily, but considering that Sei Itō was too close to Edward and Alfons, he couldn't use alchemy at all. He grabbed the rifle in the hand of a soldier next to him and raised it to shoot at Sei Itō.
In an instant, a series of gunshots rang out, and countless bullets were fired at Sei Itō at high speed.
Sei Itō didn't stop moving. He waved the Heavenly Sword in front of him in a circle, blocking all the bullets. His body quickly passed by Mustang and rushed into the group of soldiers. His body turned into an afterimage, and the Heavenly Sword in his hand danced among the soldiers like a silver light.
Immediately, a large number of screams accompanied by limbs flying and blood splattering sounded one after another, stimulating Colonel Mustang's visual and auditory nerves.
After all, the soldiers were still ordinary people. When they encountered Sei Itō, who was an inhuman existence to them, they had no resistance at all. Soon, Sei Itō cleared out the soldiers outside the warehouse, leaving behind broken limbs and streams of blood on the ground.
Sei Itō looked back at the angry Mustang and Edward on the other side, who could explode at any time. He jumped onto a nearby roof and quickly disappeared after dodging Mustang's flame bombardment.
Then, using disguise and infiltration methods, he took a train and left St. Trall.
In the following days, Sei Itō completely changed the way he stole. He basically just smashed things here and there. One day, a warehouse in the eastern military region might be destroyed. The next day, it might be a problem with the border with the south. On the third day, it might even be a city on the southern border that suffered …
He worked like this for about two months. After plundering a large portion of the country's resources, he returned to the eastern border city. He wore a yellow windbreaker and disappeared into the vast desert.
"So this is alchemy," Sei Itō exclaimed as he sat in front of an old man in Xin clothing.
"You're even more outstanding than I imagined. You've completely grasped the basics of alchemy in just a few days. What terrifying talent," said an old man with a head full of white hair, a face full of wrinkles, and gray eyes sitting cross-legged.
"It's all thanks to Master Li's teachings," Sei Itō said humbly.
"I didn't teach you anything. I only told you the principles of alchemy and how to find the atmosphere. Everything else is the result of your hard work," Master Li shook his head.
"Alright, now that you've learned alchemy, all that's left is to accumulate knowledge through the Way of Ten Thousand Principles. Go." Master Li said as he closed his pair of gray eyes that were almost invisible.
"Yes," Sei Itō nodded respectfully. He stood up and bowed respectfully in front of Master Li before turning to leave.
Outside the room, Sei Itō looked at the streets of this world that resembled ancient China again. He blended back into the crowd and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Inside the Rubik's Cube world …
Sei Itō stood in the courtyard in the central area. He looked at the ground beneath his feet and visualized the situation of the entire continent in his mind. After a long while, Sei Itō suddenly mobilized the world force in the Rubik's cube world. He waved his hand and poured it into the ground in front of him. He outlined a dragon-snake-like pattern.
He didn't know how much time had passed. When the pattern below the continent was finally filled with the world force, he felt the entire continent suddenly shake. Then, several mountains of different heights suddenly rose from the ground. After the soul energy and the five elemental energy mixed together, it turned into a small stream that quickly coiled around the foot of the mountain. It outlined a river that extended out.
"Using the earth energy theory of alchemy and the ancient dragon vein theory of China, it really can be realized under the effect of the world force," Sei Itō looked at the several small mountains in the distance with some excitement and said to himself happily. Although it still looked barren and slightly desolate, he believed that if he got more trees in the future, he would soon be able to make the Rubik's cube world full of vitality.
"Plants, animals … … it seems like there's a lot to add in the future," Sei Itō sighed. He turned around and walked toward Ya Ye who came out to check because of the shaking.
