Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life.

Chapter 196 The War Begins 3

To Sherlock's utter surprise, the first person to come to his side after the captain finished speaking was Tony!

Perhaps because they were used to constantly sabotaging each other, and because Sherlock's gadgets, while full of wicked humor, never failed to function properly, Tony chose to trust Sherlock.

Sherlock didn't hesitate and immediately tossed Tony a thing that looked like a Rubik's Cube made of soldered chips. Although Tony was a little confused, he still pressed the button on the Rubik's Cube.

The next second, the ordinary Rubik's Cube suddenly shattered, turning into a large net that looked like an integrated circuit, which enveloped Tony. A blinding light shone, and as the light dissipated, a huge, bloated version of Iron Man appeared in front of Sherlock.

"Heavy armor warriors can greatly enhance the attack power and range of their weapons, as well as significantly strengthen their defense and strength. The downside is that it causes them to grow larger and consume energy at an excessive rate."

Sherlock said to Tony, who had transformed into a bulging version of Iron Man, "Tony's current appearance is... well, if you've played Metal Slug, you'll be very familiar with it."

One of the mechanics in Metal Slug is that after consuming enough rewards, you will become a huge fat man, which greatly enhances the strength of your basic weapons and throwable weapons.

This is also the inspiration Sherlock drew for creating the "Heavy Armor Warrior" Rubik's Cube.

Seeing himself transformed into this grotesque state, Tony didn't really believe Sherlock's words. After all, you can't expect the big-eater Ryoko to jump out and perform an extremely agile parkour routine on you.

Practice is the only way to test the truth. After Tony tried some agile movements in his armor, he found that Sherlock was right. Although his body size had become like a ball, his agility had not decreased much.

Tony was especially pleased with the palm-sized cannon, which was as thick as a water tank.

So after getting familiar with this so-called heavily armored warrior, Tony used his ball-like body to launch another charge towards the top of Stark Tower.

With Tony as the starting point, and tempted by the almost visible increase in combat power of Tony, Black Widow, and Thor, the remaining people, whether they liked it or not, could only obediently try to find a way to get the alchemical equipment from Sherlock.

After Tony, the second person to come to Sherlock's side was Captain America, who had been fighting on the ground.

Seeing the captain approaching, Sherlock didn't say a word, but just grinned and pulled out the palm-sized gun that the captain had used from his four-dimensional pocket.

Looking at the gun in Sherlock's hand, the captain's face underwent a series of changes, with various expressions battling it out until finally, only a look of shame prevailed, his face turning as red as a monkey's bottom.

"Sherlock, don't you have any decent alchemical equipment?"

The captain made a final struggle against Sherlock, but how could Sherlock let him go? He just grinned at the captain, not even retracting the hand that was handing over the transformation device. The look in his eyes was incredibly smug.

No~

Honestly, under normal circumstances, with Sherlock's smug tone and eyes, the captain would probably have already rolled up his sleeves and had a serious discussion with Sherlock about what close combat really is.

But the sound of explosions behind us was incessant, and it was clear that now was not the time to discuss this.

With a loud bang, Hulk landed with Hawkeye, who was hitchhiking, and Captain America could only take the transformation device from Sherlock's hand with a blank expression.

Of course, the captain didn't choose to use it immediately like Tony did. Instead, with a conflicted expression, he took the transformation device and ran into the distance.

Sherlock didn't care at all about this. After all, compared to whether the captain would transform or not, Sherlock was more concerned about the Hulk in front of him, who was still bald with no hair on his head.

Or to be more precise, Sherlock is more opposed to Hulk. After all, Captain America might choose to let you go, but Hulk would definitely beat you up immediately!

Therefore, what Sherlock pulled out of the Hulk's four-dimensional pocket was undoubtedly much more serious than what Captain America and Tony had given him.

A double-edged battle axe that perfectly matches the Hulk's style!

The axe looks just like the Black Cleaver from game 1, with a huge blade that gleams coldly. Most importantly, the blade has extremely fine serrations, giving the axe a savage and violent feel.

It's no exaggeration to say that the shape of this axe perfectly matches Hulk's aesthetic.

"The Cyclops Battle Axe is incredibly sharp and, like Thor's hammer, has the ability to be thrown and recalled. Its only drawback might be that when you pick up the axe, you transform into a one-eyed being."

Before Sherlock could finish his introduction, Hulk grabbed the axe from the ground, swung it around fiercely, and then a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

When the two small eyes merged into one large eye and turned to look at Sherlock, three huge question marks immediately appeared on Sherlock's forehead.

Hulk, however, ignored Sherlock's reaction and simply gave him his signature Dragon King smile, saying something out of the blue.

"Hulk really likes axes, Hulk forgives you!"

After saying that, he grabbed the giant axe, which was as big as a door, and disappeared from Sherlock's sight with a leap.

Even after Hulk disappeared, Sherlock was still somewhat bewildered by what he had just witnessed.

One-eyed, green-skinned, bald, and muscular?

Holy crap? When did that punk boss turn into a muscle-bound hunk?! Are the Bikini Bottom Three Generals about to become a reality?

Damn, isn't this guy a total thug?

Sherlock felt his nerves starting to go haywire.

Fortunately, Hawkeye, who had hitched a ride with Hulk, finally recovered after vomiting on the ground for a while, and greeted Sherlock with a pale face.

Sherlock didn't waste any time and simply tossed Hawkeye a quiver with thirty arrows stuck in it.

"The Elf King's Wish-Fulfilling Quiver! It contains thirty arrows and has the ability to grant wishes. Use it with caution, as this wish-granting ability may cause greater damage. It is recommended that you do not think too much when using it and just use it as a regular arrow."

It would be even better if it could be used when the mind is completely blank, since compared to other alchemical equipment, this thing is far too complex; at best, it can only be considered a semi-finished product.

Upon hearing Sherlock's words, a huge question mark slowly appeared above Hawkeye's head.
