Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life.

Sitwell and Hawkeye both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes, but the helplessness they felt was slightly different.

For Hawkeye, his so-called helplessness was more due to Sherlock's "mischief," after all, Sherlock's little jokes were not enough to make Hawkeye angry.

In addition, the presence of Doro in Sherlock's arms evoked a certain empathy from Hawkeye, who was also a father, and he naturally thought of his own daughter. As a result, he became a little more agreeable to Sherlock.

Of course, it's only a tiny bit.

Essentially, Hawkeye's helplessness stems more from his utter inability to do anything about Sherlock.

But Sitwell's situation was different; Sitwell's helplessness stemmed more from his frustration with Shylock's imperviousness to water and fire.

The conversation between Sherlock and Coulson was essentially a warning to S.H.I.E.L.D., or to put it more bluntly, a warning to Hydra to stay away.

This is why Sherlock corrected Coulson's statement with unusual seriousness; he was helping out of respect for Coulson, not for S.H.I.E.L.D.!

Although the final results are similar, the effects they bring are completely different.

To put it bluntly, Sherlock has already pinned Coulson on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s contact. So if Hydra tries to get Sherlock's help under the guise of S.H.I.E.L.D., Sherlock's response will likely be just two words.

Fuck off!

Of course, such a solution will inevitably lead to that ruthless bastard constantly causing trouble for himself through Coulson.

However, the advantages are also obvious: Sherlock can refuse, and if Black Egg goes too far, Sherlock can also take the initiative to end this "friendship".

In any case, Sherlock, having determined the pretext, was not at a disadvantage; in fact, in some respects, he was definitely the one who benefited the most.

As for the reason for actively exposing Doro's "weakness" and openly introducing Doro to S.H.I.E.L.D. or S.H.I.E.L.D., it's quite simple: Sherlock played his hand out in the open.

Sherlock was clearly telling Hydra that this little thing was their Achilles' heel, but if they wanted to touch it, they should first consider whether they were more resilient than the Iron Monger.

As long as Hydra doesn't openly display strategically valuable items like the Anywhere Door in front of them, but only shows the kind of force they used in the Ten Rings cave and when they dealt with the Iron Monger, Hydra won't dare to attack Sherlock.

Keeping the truth hidden is one consideration, but Hydra also has to consider the price that a superpowered person like Sherlock would have to pay.

That's why Sherlock was so arrogant and disdainful when facing Hydra.

Sitwell, who was present, was no fool and could naturally understand Sherlock's meaning, although Sitwell did not know that Sherlock already knew that S.H.I.E.L.D. had now become S.H.I.E.L.D.

However, similarly, if S.H.I.E.L.D. were placed in the same position as S.H.I.E.L.D., Sherlock's deterrent would still be tenable, and perhaps even more so.

After all, if Black Egg doesn't go crazy, he can clearly understand which is better: a superpowered person who can cooperate or a superpowered person who is determined to kill S.H.I.E.L.D.

Although it would take more time and effort to keep Sherlock in check, isn't that exactly what S.H.I.E.L.D. has no shortage of?

Although Sherlock never truly looked at the so-called Agent Sitwell, his attention was actually focused on him the whole time. Only after noticing the change in Sitwell's expression did Sherlock's mood gradually improve.

Some were even so eager that they dragged Coulson along, wanting to see the legendary Mjolnir.

Coulson granted Sherlock's wish and quickly led him to the core area of ​​the camp, which had already been completely covered with scaffolding and canvas.

When Sherlock and Coulson went inside, the first thing Sherlock saw was the Mjolnir sitting on a small pit.

Sherlock's eyes lit up the moment he saw the Meowth Hammer.

Perhaps in the eyes of S.H.I.E.L.D., the Mjolnir is just a square hammerhead with a leather strap wrapped around the handle that prevents it from moving.

But in Sherlock's eyes, this was a top-tier creation covered with runes and alchemical arrays!

The alchemical radiance shimmering on it was like a sun, so bright that Sherlock could barely open his eyes!

Coulson glanced at Sherlock beside him, noticing the look of excitement on his face when he saw the hammer—like a lecherous man seeing a beautiful woman. A flash of surprise crossed his eyes, and then he chuckled and asked Sherlock.

"Sherlock, do you recognize this hammer?"

Faced with Coulson's question, Sherlock didn't hide anything. His mind was completely focused on the Mjolnir in front of him, and he couldn't wait to go up and analyze it properly. Sherlock gave Coulson's question perfunctorily.

"Mjolnir, or you can call it the Meow Meow Hammer!"

As Sherlock's voice fell, a wisp of lightning, as thin as a rope, burst forth from the Meowth Hammer. This lightning shot towards Sherlock almost without hesitation.

It's obvious that Meow Hammer himself doesn't like Sherlock calling him Meow Hammer!

Sherlock easily dodged Meowth Hammer's warning, and looked at the now restored Meowth Hammer with great interest. He couldn't hide the smile on his face, and pointed at Meowth Hammer, making a rather amusing comment to Coulson.

"That little hammer has quite a temper!"

However, Sherlock did not receive a response from Coulson. Turning around, he saw Coulson's dumbfounded expression.

The reason is simple: the information revealed in Sherlock's words was not simple. As a senior agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Coulson was quite knowledgeable, and the meaning behind Sherlock's words made Coulson feel a chill down his spine.

Most importantly, the hammer that Sherlock had just called Mjolnir responded to Sherlock!

Although the response was not friendly, it confirmed that Sherlock was not talking nonsense. It should be noted that this was the first time the hammer had changed like this since they took over the scene!

"So, Sherlock, you mean this hammer is the one called Mjolnir, the hammer wielded by Thor, Odin's son, in Norse mythology?"

"Yeah~"

Sherlock's answer was casual, but it sent a chill down Coulson's spine, which ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, along with Sitwell and Hawkeye standing behind him.

"So, the legendary gods exist? Norse mythology is real?"

Coulson seemed unaware that his voice trembled slightly as he spoke to Sherlock.
