Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life.

Chapter 198 The War Begins 5

The fact that the Empire State Building stood up was so outrageous that it was beyond absurdity to anyone else. It was utterly absurd.

Especially for those who see this scene through a video call, this situation is no less than being tricked into working at a small place, only to be inexplicably placed on the set of an adult film, thinking they could get intimate with their teacher.

I never expected that the script I received would be about playing an incompetent husband. I actually managed to sleep through the entire 120-minute movie in bed with my eyes closed.

The culprit behind all this is none other than Sherlock!

The reason why the Imperial Fuxia was allowed to stand up was quite simple: Xia Luojing discovered that those Chitauri main forces were actually starting to develop into a swarm of insects!

If I don't come up with a way to break the deadlock, I'm afraid this battle in New York, which was supposed to be incredibly easy in the movie, will turn into the final battle in Ender's Game!

The solution to the Chitauri's swarm-like attack was simple: use the sheer size and power of the Empire State Building, transformed into a Gundam, to crush those insects that were not much different in size from humans!

Of course, this is not an easy task for Sherlock. Alchemy requires the entire Empire State Building to be constantly enveloped, meaning that the Empire State Building is essentially in a state of superposition of finished products and raw materials in order to make the entire Empire State Building move.

Fortunately, Sherlock now has the Seven Deadly Sins as an aid; otherwise, the sheer amount of calculation required to make the Empire State Building stand up would have overheated his brain and turned it into a brain heap by his own alchemy.

However, it was precisely because of Sherlock's actions that, after the Empire State Building stood up, its massive size almost instantly disrupted the Chitauri's swarm-like offensive, while also creating an opening for the Avengers to attack.

With the Hulk's powerful vanguard ability as a muscular, thuggish boss, Black Widow, following behind him, was the first to arrive at the rooftop of Stark Tower. After waking up the unconscious Dr. Erik, Black Widow almost immediately informed everyone how to close the portal.

Following closely behind Black Widow were the Avengers, whose members had been greatly enhanced by Sherlock's alchemical artifacts.

After hearing Black Widow's report, Thor flew directly into the building and, with his Mjolnir, struck Loki on the head despite Loki's resistant expression, knocking him unconscious. He then took the Mind Control Scepter and handed it to Black Widow.

Just as Black Widow was about to close the portal with her scepter, Black Egg's voice rang out in the Avengers' communications, just like in the movies.

The nuclear bomb was eventually launched!

The reason for the launch was that when Sherlock piloted the Empire State Building into battle, the aftershocks caused the live video stream to be interrupted!

Driven by fear, the ruthless maggots bypassed the military, the Security Council, and S.H.I.E.L.D., and launched a cruise missile carrying a nuclear warhead directly at Stark Tower!

Upon hearing this news, Sherlock's first reaction was to manipulate the Empire State Building to intercept it.

If the Empire State Building could make contact with the cruise missile, Sherlock could push his computing power to the limit and use the Empire State Building for substitution alchemy to directly disintegrate the nuclear bomb.

Unfortunately, Sherlock overestimated the Empire State Building's speed and underestimated the speed of a cruise missile, watching helplessly as it slipped through his fingers.

In the end, just like in the movie, Tony, as Iron Man, stepped forward, carried the nuclear bomb, and flew into the portal. At the last moment, he ran out of energy, deactivated his transformation, and fell down, watching as the nuclear warhead destroyed the Chitauri mothership.

At the moment of the explosion, Black Widow inserted the Mind Control Scepter into the machine that activated the portal, and everything went smoothly, just like in the movie.

After Tony ran out of energy, Hulk caught him and placed him on the top floor of Stark Tower. The Avengers, who had also deactivated their transformations, surrounded him. The Chitauri soldiers who had invaded Earth collapsed to the ground like puppets without power after the mothership was destroyed.

Seeing Tony fall into a coma due to energy depletion, Thor almost immediately took out the Mjolnir and placed it on Tony's chest. Accompanied by a powerful flash of lightning, the Arc Reactor on Tony's chest, which had been extinguished, lit up again, even brighter than before.

As for Tony, he suddenly regained consciousness the instant the Arc Reactor lit up.

Looking at the "forced growth hammer" placed on his chest, Tony's already not-so-good complexion instantly turned even worse.

"Hey! Breaking news! Take that damn thing off my chest!"

Upon hearing Tony's words, Thor's smile, which had appeared after seeing Tony regain consciousness, froze instantly, and he said to Tony somewhat angrily.

"Hey, Tin Can, you know this hammer saved your life, so you should at least be a little more polite to it!"

However, to Thor's surprise, when he finished speaking, everyone present looked at him with extremely strange eyes, especially Black Widow. After holding back for a long time, Black Widow pointed at the hammer in Thor's hand and asked him a question.

"You call this thing a hammer?"

"Of course! What else could it be but a hammer? In the era of cold weapons, this hammer was used to break through armor on the battlefield! And if you'd like, in the far east, this hammer also has a nice name: a mace!"

Thor answered Black Widow's question as a matter of course, but this only earned him increasingly strange looks from everyone. Finally, Tony, who had sat up again, patted Thor on the shoulder helplessly before speaking to him.

"After this is all over, I'll send you a video so you can really understand the difference between the so-called 'budding bone' and the thing you have in your hand, Jarvis. Add this to my daily schedule."

"Yes, sir. The target video has been found for you. Downloading will begin. The estimated download time is one day and nineteen minutes. You can upgrade to a membership to speed up the download. Would you like to upgrade?"

"no!"

Jarvis's voice rang out from inside Tony's armor, yet miraculously, everyone around Tony could hear it clearly. So much so that the next second, everyone's strange gaze shifted from Thor to Tony.

Seeing the strange looks everyone was giving him, Tony shrugged and complained irritably.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Save what you should save, spend what you should spend! There's no rush!"

Captain: "No, Tony, we're just curious, are those instructional videos you downloaded for Thor even legitimate?"
