Of course, the execution song was only the beginning. Sherlock could feel that the anger in his heart did not decrease with the execution of Obadiah; on the contrary, the feeling of resentment grew stronger.

Just as Sherlock was pondering how to solve the problem, Tony's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Stop playing around, Sherlock, Obadiah is dead."

Hearing Tony's words, Sherlock turned around and saw Pepper looking at him with a loving expression. Tony, through his unfolded visor, gave him a wink.

It's obvious that Tony has already told Pepper everything.

Little Pepper clearly misunderstood Sherlock's act of "whipping the corpse." Her eyes were full of affection as she looked at Sherlock, almost as if she wanted to tell him to come into her mother's arms.

Under Pepper's gaze, Sherlock abandoned his plan to turn Obadiah's soul into the Philosopher's Stone and casually thrust his gun directly into the Iron Monger's miniature reactor, which was now just bones.

With the activation of the alchemy, Obadiah's suffering finally ended along with the miniature reactor he had stolen from Tony.

If Obadiah's soul could speak, he would undoubtedly agree with the classic line from many movies: "Death is nothing more than the most beautiful luxury."

To Sherlock's utter surprise, with Obadiah's death, the anger in his heart vanished without a trace in an instant, replaced by a strange sense of satisfied emptiness.

This feeling is so wonderful that it's indescribable. It's hard to imagine that two different emotions could exist in one person at the same time.

Sherlock hadn't expected this either.

However, when this feeling arose, Sherlock genuinely felt the benefits.

As that feeling subsided, a sense of clarity spread throughout Sherlock's body in an instant. Some of the difficulties in alchemy, and even some points that he had never been able to understand, all became clear in that instant.

Not only that, Sherlock could even feel that his control over his body had become more agile. The intricate runes that were difficult to complete when inscribing runes on alchemical works in the past, Sherlock now felt that he could complete them with ease.

This feeling filled Sherlock with joy, but also a touch of nostalgia.

Because only Sherlock knew that the true soul, Sherlock Flamel, had vanished.

While Sherlock was still feeling melancholy, Pepper Potts had already come up to him and hugged him tightly without saying a word. After a while, she let go of Sherlock and said to him with a worried look on her face.

"Are you alright, Sherlock?"

Hearing Pepper's concern, Sherlock smiled and said to her.

"Of course, Pepper, believe me, I've never felt this good before!"

Upon hearing Sherlock's answer, Pepper's face finally relaxed, but the worry between her brows did not disappear. After thinking for a moment, she gave Sherlock some instructions.

"If you have any problems, be sure to talk to me or Tony, Sherlock. You can have any ideas you have."

It's obvious that Pepper Potts is worried that Sherlock might have some kind of psychological problem, but Sherlock himself knows that he doesn't have any psychological problems at all.

However, he still smiled and nodded at Little Chili, speaking in a way that was more obedient than ever before.

"I understand, Pepper."

Hearing Sherlock's words, Pepper Potts finally showed a relieved expression. Little did she know that Tony had been standing behind her the whole time, not only rolling his eyes to the sky, but also making all sorts of facial expressions as he awkwardly mimicked Sherlock's words with his mouth.

Sherlock, of course, wouldn't tolerate Tony's behavior. When Pepper couldn't see, he silently gave Tony the middle finger as a response.

Seeing that Pepper seemed to want to say something more, Tony quickly stepped in to separate Pepper and Sherlock, and said to them in a nonchalant manner.

"I'm starving after that big battle! I know a really good pizza place nearby, how about we go grab some late-night snacks together!"

Although Pepper knew that Tony was changing the subject, she could only smile helplessly and roll her eyes at him, but she did not object to Tony's suggestion.

Seeing that Pepper didn't object, Tony then gave Sherlock a victorious look, leaving Sherlock dumbfounded and his mouth twitching.

Honestly, Sherlock was starting to wonder if he was part of some strange play between the two of them.

Of course, Sherlock didn't refuse Tony's suggestion. After all, the physical transmutation he had just undergone was extremely physically demanding. To be honest, if Sherlock hadn't possessed the Philosopher's Stone, he probably wouldn't have been able to complete such a physical transmutation at all.

Of course, Tony received no shortage of eye-rolls.

After saying goodbye to Coulson, the unlucky guy in charge of cleaning up the mess, the three borrowed a Cadillac from S.H.I.E.L.D. and left the battlefield.

Even when it came to borrowing the car, it was Pepper Potts who went to Coulson.

As for why Sherlock and Tony, the two main characters, didn't go to Coulson, the reason is simple: the two were busy arguing at the moment.

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; never underestimate a young man's potential. Seriously, Sherlock, you should look at fewer of those animated pictures."

"Heh, I'll say the same to you, Tony. You should look at more animated pictures; maybe they'll give you more inspiration for your tin cans! God, you know when I first came here, you and that old man were fighting worse than elementary school kids!"

"You're talking nonsense! If Obadiah weren't so big and heavy, I would have beaten him to a pulp!"

"Heh, whatever makes you happy! I wonder who was just pinned to the ground, sparks flying everywhere."

"F*** you! You brat, you unfilial son, do you want to spar with me?"

"Heh, come on, I just took on that huge thing with my bare hands, do you think I can tear this can open with my bare hands? And, you fucking call me a rebellious son again, I'll definitely embed that transformation device into your body!"

"Fxxk you! We could have had a great time if you hadn't mentioned the transformation device!"

……

Just as the two were arguing fiercely, a car stopped in front of them. The window rolled down, and Little Chili looked at the two men, who were arguing like elementary school students, speechless. She said to them in an annoyed tone.

"Gentlemen, why don't you argue a little longer?"

Sherlock: "Hmph, for Pepper's sake, I won't bother arguing with you!"

Tony: "Hey~ My little temper!"
