Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life.

Chapter 197 The War Begins 4

Well, what Sherlock said to Hawkeye wasn't exactly a lie, but it wasn't exactly the truth either.

Sherlock's initial idea was to create magic arrows, just like in the movies, that could summon wind and rain as they hit their target and produce various magical effects afterward.

However, Sherlock later discovered that achieving such a situation was extremely difficult, even with the integration of Asgardian technology, so he settled for the current "wish fulfillment".

Of course, the reason why "wish fulfillment" is in quotes is quite simple: because truly making one's wishes come true is even more difficult than a magic arrow!

Therefore, this so-called "wish fulfillment" is actually the same as making a wish at the Yonghe Temple.

To give a simple example, if Hawkeye were to fire an arrow at a target, the Chitauri armor, thinking that it would be better if the arrow were an explosive arrow, then there is a high probability that the arrow will not hit the Chitauri armor when it is fired.

Instead, it's possible that a Chitauri soldier B riding a flying machine suddenly appeared and blocked the arrow's path. The arrow then struck Chitauri soldier B, causing the flying machine he was controlling to veer off course and crash into Chitauri soldier A, causing an explosion next to A.

Of course, this is just an ideal situation. After all, who can guarantee that they won't be the so-called "Chita Swiss soldier B" in this situation?

To put it simply, the Elf King's wish-granting quiver is like the Yonghe Temple; you don't need to know how the wish is fulfilled, just say whether the wish is fulfilled or not.

Of course, aside from this somewhat unreliable "wish fulfillment," the other benefit might be that when Hawkeye actually equips this quiver, almost instantly, Hawkeye transforms from a somewhat handsome middle-aged man into a stunningly beautiful long-eared elf.

Although her face is always the same, for some reason, she gives people a feeling of boundless beauty that makes them want to sleep.

Hawkeye was quite pleased with his new look. After briefly learning about the so-called "wish fulfillment" from Sherlock, Hawkeye quickly discovered a bug in the system.

After saying, "As long as the area hit is far enough away from my teammates, the possibility of them being affected should be reduced, right?" he grabbed his arrow and charged towards the center of the battlefield.

So much so that Sherlock was caught off guard by Hawkeye's wit!

Although the Avengers members all look like scoundrels thanks to Sherlock's gadgets, it's undeniable that their fighting power is now far greater than the original Avengers.

The powerful ground firepower of Captain America after his transformation, combined with the powerful air firepower of Tony Stark after his transformation into a heavy armored warrior, makes the Hulk, who transforms into a muscular thug, the sharpest blade to advance. Black Widow is the best candidate to guard the opening where the Hulk breaks through.

Hawkeye's arrows always produced unexpected chain reactions in the areas where the Chitauri soldiers were most concentrated, and the entire Avengers' speed in advancing towards the portal opening device above Stark Tower was significantly faster.

Similarly, the Chitauri were not fools. Under a social system similar to ant colonies or bee swarms, the Chitauri population grew in number and launched a fearless death charge against the new Avengers.

Sherlock frowned slightly at this scene. After all, in the movies, the Chitauri didn't act so bravely. Instead, they were more like robots, and Black Widow easily broke through to the vicinity of the portal machine.

As the situation became increasingly tense, Sherlock could no longer simply remain a support player on the periphery of the battlefield. If things continued like this, who knew how long the war would last?

Sherlock needs to end the war quickly, since the Chitauri of today are far more insane than those in the movies.

"Doro, stop playing around! Protect the wounded and control the battlefield. I'm going to join the fight!"

Sherlock looked up and shouted at Doro, who was standing on top of the fire dragon's head in the sky.

Upon hearing Sherlock's call, Doro obediently jumped down from the sky. The moment he landed, he summoned his little cloud and landed steadily on it. With an endearing chuckle, he patted his chest and said to Sherlock.

"Don't worry, Doro will protect those who are injured!"

Upon hearing Doro's words, Sherlock gave Doro's head a good rub before turning and walking into the Empire State Building behind him.

After Sherlock left, Doro looked around, then at the center of the battlefield, a wicked smile suddenly appearing on his face. He turned and flew directly towards the wounded camp.

After Doro arrived at the camp, the huge fire dragon in the sky seemed to have received some kind of command and charged straight down to the ground. The moment the huge fire dragon hit the ground, a huge wall of fire tens of meters high rose up and almost instantly covered the entire battlefield.

Thanks to the Avengers' bravery, aided by Sherlock's alchemical equipment, almost half of the Chitauri were drawn to the Avengers' firepower. After Doro used the wall of fire to separate the battlefield from the peace zone, there were indeed few enemies who could break through the wall of fire.

Meanwhile, inside the space carrier on the other side, Black Ludan, now dressed in his normal attire, was engaged in a heated verbal battle with several holographic projections.

"No! I do not agree to launch a nuclear missile! My people are protecting New York, and there are countless civilians in New York. Launching a nuclear missile is tantamount to massacring civilians!"

Moreover, if the nuclear explosion didn't close the portal and instead harmed the Avengers, then Earth would have no ability to resist!

"Nick Fury, we understand your thinking, but compared to the countless aliens, we don't believe that just two ordinary people, an old fogey, a playboy, an alien, a monster, and some unknown alchemist can protect Earth!"

One of the projectors calmly spoke to the black man standing in the center of the conference room.

"Impossible! I believe in my team! Even using nuclear weapons should be a last resort after my team has failed! Timo Lawrence! Report on the situation on the ground!"

Black Egg roared at the projection relentlessly, while also making sure the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents on site reported the situation to increase his credibility.

What Black Lu Dan never expected was that after the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents reported the situation on the scene, not only Black Lu Dan, but even the projections of the World Security Council and the five permanent members of the Security Council doubted whether they had misheard.

"What do you mean Iron Man turned into a ball? What do you mean Captain America is gradually becoming a monster? What do you mean Black Widow turned into a succubus and Hawkeye turned into an elf? And you'd better explain to me what the hell means by 'the Empire State Building standing up'?"iii

After listening to the report from the on-site agents, Black Ludan was in a bad mood and started yelling at the agent in charge of the report.

The agents at the scene were equally aggrieved and actually hung up the communication immediately.

Before Black Ludan and the projections on site could react, a video call request came in. After the call was connected, both Black Ludan and the projections on site fell silent for a moment upon seeing the situation.

Who would have thought that this scene, which seems to be something you can only see after eating mushrooms, is actually reality?

Most importantly, the Empire State Building actually stood up!!!
