Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life.

Chapter 193 The Show Begins (Part 2)

Sherlock, unaware that Black Egg had finally discovered his little prank, did not immediately get involved in the Avengers' affairs after bringing Doro to New York. Instead, he used the Anywhere Door to go directly to the roof of the New York Sanctum.

Sherlock's lips twitched involuntarily the moment he opened the Anywhere Door.

Well, although he was mentally prepared, Sherlock still couldn't quite hold back when he saw the Ancient One with a face mask on, wearing sunglasses, lying on a deck chair at an angle that perfectly overlooked Stark Tower, with an iced drink next to her.

For some reason, Sherlock always felt that the Ancient One seemed to have a bit of amusement-seeking tendencies, and she never tired of watching others have fun. Even now, with the Chitauri invasion, she has no intention of taking any action.

"You're just going to stand by and watch? Wasn't it agreed that the Sorcerer Supreme would protect the Earth?"

Sherlock reluctantly closed his Anywhere Door, and while talking, he put the Anywhere Door into his four-dimensional pocket.

The Ancient One, on the other hand, seemed unsurprised by Sherlock's arrival. Like a young girl enjoying a sunbath, she elegantly picked up a cold drink from beside the recliner, took a sip, and then asked Sherlock a question.

"Would you like some?"

As the Ancient One finished speaking, without waiting for Sherlock to decide whether he wanted it or not, the Ancient One snapped her fingers. The next second, Sherlock felt a heavy weight in his hand. Looking down, he saw that he had a cold drink just like the one the Ancient One had given him.

Not only himself, but even the Ancient One in his arms had not been forgotten.

Unlike Sherlock, Doro, the little glutton, had his eyes light up the moment he got his hands on the cold drink and immediately started drinking it. Sherlock, on the other hand, was somewhat speechless as he looked at the scene of explosions that had begun to occur not far away.

As if she had eyes in the back of her head, the Ancient One seemed to see with her own eyes that Sherlock hadn't touched the cold drink in his hand, and without even turning her head, she continued to speak to Sherlock.

"If you don't want to drink it, just put it on the table. Anyway, you might not be the only guest today! As for why I, as the Sorcerer Supreme, don't care about the Chitauri invasion..."

"It's very simple, Sherlock. The Sorcerer Supreme cares about Earth. Obviously, those little gadgets aren't enough to threaten Earth!"

As she spoke, the Ancient One's tone became somewhat mischievous and expectant as she continued speaking to Sherlock.

"Besides, within a controllable range, the bigger the commotion, the more bargaining power we have, right?"

Upon hearing the Ancient One's words, Sherlock almost instantly understood what the Ancient One wanted to do. His face immediately showed interest as he looked at the Ancient One lying on the recliner with some surprise.

Well, this was the first time Sherlock had experienced the Ancient One's ability to trick people. As long as he wasn't the one being tricked, honestly, it felt incredibly satisfying!

Seeing that Sherlock seemed to understand her meaning, the Ancient One waved her hand impatiently at Sherlock, as if shooing away a fly that was disturbing her sleep, and continued to speak to Sherlock.

"If you understand, hurry over there. You're one of the main actors in this big show!"

At this point, the Ancient One seemed to have thought of something, and then continued speaking to Sherlock.

"By the way, don't be too rough, or you won't get what you want!"

Reminded by the Ancient One, Sherlock, who had originally planned to play a prank on Loki, immediately stopped his audacious thoughts and looked at the Ancient One with some surprise, as well as the Time Stone on her chest that always emitted a soft green light.

If Sherlock previously hated those who manipulated time like the Ancient One, his attitude has now completely reversed. Sherlock now absolutely adores those who manipulate time like the Ancient One!

Without saying a word, he put down his cold drink, took out his cloud, and flew towards the battlefield.

Only after Sherlock left did a smile appear on the Ancient One's face, as if she had seen something interesting in the river of time.

She stood up, removed the face mask, tidied her clothes, and then prepared to greet her second guest.

Meanwhile, Sherlock was unaware of the situation on the other side. At this moment, Sherlock's mind was filled with how to get what he wanted effectively and efficiently!

If we were to pinpoint the most interesting thing for Sherlock in the entire Avengers story, it would undoubtedly be the six Infinity Stones, the most precious treasures in the universe.

If you collect all of these, their power will be even greater than the Philosopher's Stone, making them akin to the Dragon Balls of the Marvel universe.

Although the Ancient One didn't explicitly say it, it's clear that her goal is very similar to Sherlock's: the Space Stone inside the Tesseract!

This thing might not be of much use to the Ancient One, but it would be extremely useful to Sherlock.

To say that Sherlock wasn't envious of the Tesseract and the Space Stone inside would be nonsense. The only reason he didn't show it was because he was afraid that possessing such a treasure would bring endless trouble.

Now that they can obtain the Cosmic Cube legally, legitimately, and secretly, if Sherlock isn't tempted, then he'd really be a fool.

When Sherlock arrived at the center of the battlefield, the scene before him was far more shocking than what he had seen from a distance.

Above Stark Tower, a massive portal atop the tower continuously unleashed a stream of Chitauri soldiers and war beasts, while the ground was littered with wounded people.

Screams, flames, debris, and corpses were almost everywhere.

Where is the grandeur of New York as one of America's largest cities at this time?

"You unfilial son, stop standing there like a jerk! Get to help! There are just too many enemies!"

Just as Sherlock was observing the entire battlefield, Tony's voice rang out from above Sherlock's head. With a whooshing sound, Tony flew over Sherlock's head like a missile, throwing a communicator at him in the process.

Sherlock looked at everything before him, including the enormous circular portal in the sky and the Chitauri and war beasts pouring out of it, and couldn't help but mutter a complaint.

"Indeed, it's as if the sky has an upset stomach!"

As soon as Sherlock's sarcastic remark appeared in the Avengers' communications, the previously noisy communication fell silent for a full second.

After a long while, the captain's command finally came through the communication again.

"Sherlock, just be a free man, do whatever you want! And next time, please don't describe things so vividly, thank you!"
