because there isnt anything wrong with it. The problem was how he was doing it.
Because he didn't need to, the dwarf knew perfectly well what was wrong with it.
He was in the end seeking power more than knowledge, he perfectly knew the means to do everything since the beginning
The issue is with wanting to become God, trying to become perfect for ones own sake rather than trying to achive it for the sake of someone else.
When the serpent seduces Eve he tells her "you will be like God" before she eats it, meaning the aquisition of knowledge is then only means to replace/rebell against God.
Also he did answer, he said "You dont believe in yourself". The whole of FMA teaches you how everything is one, and one is everything, and you yourself are part of a circle transmuting stuff on a natural basis, the circles are merely for strengthening the believe when the circle you are part of is all that was required. The philosophers stone, said to grant powers in the end is merely the same energy of souls very much like the one you have inside you, the believe in yourself was all that was required, and only when Ed realized that and gave up his alchemy, because all it can do is in him already, is when the happy end finally happens.
Tod in general isn‘t too pleased with people trying to usurp his position.
>manages to escapes an endless of void of nothingness
>wanting more than the freedom he already had
He got greedy
Nothing. If Man is always trying to free himself from outside elements and become stronger, is he not reaching towards being a god?
What happens to people when they actually die in FMA (not just get their soul turned in a stone). Is their some kind of "heaven" beyond the control of "Truth", or is everything a closed system? If it's the latter, Truth shouldn't give a shit about what the Dwarf does; everything is just energy and matter swirling about a single system.
