Truth responds that the Homunculus failed because he did not believe in himself rather than taking his life, born from a human, and growing with it, he merely stole the power of others and chased single-mindedly after the concept of "God" without evolving as a person. He asks absently why God has rejected him and is answered by the Truth, which hovers behind him, mimicking his spherical form in white. In a flash, he is gone and appears in his stunted shadowy form from the flask four centuries ago, in front of his own Gate. As Father slowly disappears inside himself, he screams that his desire was simply to learn everything about the world without being limited and asks why he was unable to do so. With his Philosopher's Stone entirely depleted, Father trembles and the black, shadowy hands of the Gate reach out from the hole in his body to take hold of his head and limbs, pulling them inside. Taking his chance, Edward rushes up and punches a large hole through the fragile Father's crumbling abdomen and, through this hole, all the remaining Xerxesian souls pour out and rise into the sky. Staring down at the others as he fades away, Greed remembers Ed's camaraderie and Ling's assertion that friends are connected by an unbreakable bond that exists within their souls he bids a fond farewell to his soul's dearest friends and departs from the mortal coil. Father's entire being begins to crumble under its own weight, but as a last ditch effort, he physically rips Greed's soul from his body and casts it aside, where it turns to dust in the open air. Though his entire body slowly morphs to carbon via Greed's power, the avaricious Homunculus explains from inside that he has used his armor ability to transform Father's anatomy to one comprised of the weakest, most fragile form of carbon imaginable. Ling collapses to the ground, the sole soul inside his own flesh as the Ouroboros on his hand fades away, while Father howls piteously at his own son's treachery. Drawing out his son's Stone, Father's arm turns slowly gray as he absorbs Greed's carbon armor ability, but with his last moments in the prince's body, Greed summons Lan Fan to his side and she slices off Father's arm with a simple swipe of her kunai. As the avaricious Homunculus declares that this was the only lie he has ever told, he informs Ling that he can still become emperor, as Lan Fan holds the Philosopher's Stone that she took from Wrath's pocket. When Ling asserts that he needs Greed's power in order to become Emperor of Xing, Greed claims to accept partnering with the prince for the throne, but knocks him away at the last second, resigning himself to his father's summons. As he plunges his arm inside his son's stomach and begins draining his Stone away, Ling's consciousness grabs hold of Greed inside their shared body, refusing to let him go, but as Greed states, Father's pull is stronger and any continued struggle will only result in Ling's soul being pulled into Father as well. Another stunning blow from Ed knocks the Homunculus down for the count, but when the god energy makes another attempt to escape, Father sucks it up, rises to his feet and lunges desperately for Greed's Philosopher's Stone. When the one known as Fullmetal enters the sacred space, he finds only the promise of a new beginning.Īs Ed clobbers him with his fists, Father wonders in disbelief how someone who has acquired the power of God can be beaten by a human alchemist using his bare hands. When the battle ends, the one known as Father meets his final fate beyond the Gateway.
