Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

After all, Sherlock first told them that Earth had an owner, and now some kind of Earth Defense Legion has appeared, along with a hidden Marshal Gu. How could Black Egg and Hydra possibly sleep soundly?

The only one who was watching the show from the subspace was the Ancient One, who was hiding in the battlefield. Her expression was one of utter bewilderment, especially when she heard Kizaru, played by Sherlock, mention Marshal Gu. The Ancient One pointed at herself with a completely dumbfounded look.

Damn it, this brat's "Ancient Marshal" can't be me, right? If it is me, when did Kamar-Taj become the Earth Defense Force? And when did it have three generals? How come I, the Sorcerer Supreme, know nothing about this?

Chapter 71 Sherlock the Alchemist Thief's Armor Theft (Part 1)

What was originally supposed to be a battle between Loki's Destroyer and Thor's brothers has become complicated due to Doro's Mini Thor and Sherlock's Kizaru's unexpected appearance.

Not to mention Thor, even Loki was unsure whether they should continue.

Especially Loki. Although Thor denied any connection between himself and the mini-Thor in his Doro costume, the current situation didn't seem unrelated at all. Loki, who was originally the youngest member of the royal family, had inexplicably become an uncle.

When Loki sensed the presence of a junior even younger than himself, his feelings were incredibly complex.

However, Doro on the other side didn't care too much. After Sherlock, dressed as Kizaru, appeared, Doro's attention was focused on Sherlock. Seeing that Sherlock's hand, hidden under his coat, secretly made a gesture to him, Doro instantly sent the constantly swinging Meow-Meow Hammer flying.

Although Doro's Meow Hammer is small and not as powerful as the real Meow Hammer in terms of materials, its internal program is exactly the same.

Therefore, its overall power is not too small. The little Meow Hammer hit the Destroyer's head instantly after it flew out, causing the Destroyer's head to tilt.

The feeling of being punched in the gut made Loki momentarily lose his temper, and he almost instinctively fired a destructive ray at Doro, but Doro's special ability was to be immune to ranged weapons.

Therefore, from Loki's perspective, this being who was suspected to be his nephew dodged the attack of the Destruction Ray in an extremely stylish and comical manner. No matter how Loki tried to lock onto Doro, Doro seemed to have anticipated the direction of Loki's shot, easily dodging the attack and even having the mind to strike a pose.

What made Loki's blood pressure rise the most was that after the miniature Meowth hammer hit his head once, it actually hit the back of the Destroyer Armor's head again when Doro summoned it back.

As a result, under the force of the mini-meow hammer, the Destroyer Armor, which was firing the Destroyer Ray, had to lower its head and almost hit itself.

Not only that, but seeing Loki attack his miniature self, even though Thor didn't know where this miniature version of himself came from, he couldn't just stand by and watch Loki hurt 'himself' like that.

Therefore, Thor, dressed like a small cake, also joined the battle, wielding the bird-head version of the Meowth hammer that Sherlock had modified.

Seeing the three of them start fighting, Sherlock mimicked Kizaru and exclaimed "Hooray!" before swiping his arm, activating alchemy, and adding a blade to his hand as well, joining the battle.

However, unlike Thor and Loki, whose goals were clearly defined, Sherlock and Doro were purely there to cause trouble.

Doro's mini-Miaomiao hammer flies everywhere, hitting the Destroyer armor is a common occurrence, and hitting Thor himself is also normal.

Although the force is not great, it always leaves people feeling confused but not brain-damaging. It can be said that it has no lethality but is full of mockery.

As for Sherlock, he wielded the blades on his mechanical arm, sparing neither Thor nor the Destroyer, treating them all equally, cutting down whoever was closest, having a great time.

The three and a half people were locked in a fierce battle, so much so that even the S.H.I.E.L.D. members reporting from the perimeter were momentarily bewildered, unsure of who was on Earth's side.

The four of them looked like they were fighting in a chaotic manner, but only Sherlock and Doro knew that it was actually not chaotic at all. Doro was creating opportunities for Sherlock from beginning to end by wielding his little hammer.

Although the blades extending from Sherlock's mechanical arm could cut Thor, only Sherlock himself knew that a metal trident kunai was actually hidden at the tip of the blades!

Finally, as Doro struck the Destroyer's head once more, causing it to direct the nozzle of its destructive ray toward Sherlock, the blade on Sherlock's arm plunged directly into the Destroyer's head without any hesitation.

Although it was an empty shell, it was enough for Sherlock to do his thing.

Even more remarkably, Thor's Mjolnir arrived at that moment. As the Destroyer instinctively dodged, the Mjolnir struck the blade extending from Sherlock's mechanical arm precisely, causing the Flying Thunder God coordinates, originally intended to remain inside the Destroyer, to fall into its body exactly as planned.

Seeing this, Sherlock gave Doro a look, and the two of them simultaneously activated their Flying Thunder God Techniques, along with the coordinates inside the Destroyer's body.

The next second, the three figures vanished from the battlefield in an instant, leaving Thor, who was wearing a skirt and had just flung his hammer away, completely bewildered.

Because of the sudden disappearance of the so-called Kizaru, the mini version of himself, and Loki's Destroyer armor, Thor, in a daze, failed to catch the returning hammer for the first time in his life, causing the hammer to hit Thor directly in the face.

Fortunately, Thor is tough and resilient. Despite being hit by the Meowth Hammer, he quickly got up from the ground.

Although he didn't know exactly what had happened, with the Destroyer gone, Thor's best course of action was to return to Asgard as quickly as possible to stop Loki.

Watching Thor, dressed in a pink dress and sporting pigtails, bid farewell to Jane, who looked disgusted but had no choice but to stand up for him, and then help his four friends back onto the Rainbow Bridge, the Ancient One, in the Mirror Dimension, sighed helplessly.

Well, although Sherlock's grand performance was somewhat outrageous, at least it was completed.

As for the Destroyer Armor that Sherlock took away, the Ancient One, the God of Borrowing, grinned and said, "Anything that comes to Earth belongs to Earth! I, the Ancient One, have always borrowed if I can, and if I can't borrow, I'll steal. I've never had any concept of returning it!"

Not only will they not return it, but I will also go and confront them!

What? You say Earth acts too domineeringly? Heh, go reason with those dimensional demons! Don't want to go? Fine! I'll use the Time Stone to explain things to you!

If reasoning still doesn't work, well, I happen to know a spell that even Odin has to give me some face with! You and my Vishanti sword can talk to me then!

As the show came to an end, the Ancient One shook her head slightly, pondering how to trick Odin again, before quietly leaving the scene.

Chapter 72 Sherlock the Alchemist Thief's Armor Theft (Part 2)

The battlefield where the Ancient One was located had returned to calm, but that did not mean that Sherlock's side was also at peace. On the contrary, Sherlock's plan to steal the armor had only just begun.

Previously on the battlefield, Sherlock and Doro successfully stirred up trouble, and by taking advantage of the situation, they actually transferred the Destroyer Armor into the pre-prepared sealing cauldron.

The moment Sherlock and Doro appeared in this vast underground space, Sherlock's mechanical arm split open, and countless small tentacles, along with the metal hand bones and Sherlock's palm, slammed into the metal sphere that sealed the Destroyer from all directions almost simultaneously.

The next second, crimson lightning instantly illuminated the entire underground space. A huge transmutation array unfolded around the large sphere placed in the center of the room, and countless transmutation arrays of varying sizes, relying on the small tentacles on Sherlock's mechanical arm and his two arms, instantly enveloped the metal sphere.

Meanwhile, Sherlock's brain was boiling over with a massive amount of calculations. In order to wrest control of the Destroyer Armor from Loki, Sherlock was unleashing multiple layers of alchemy with such full force for the first time.

With such a huge mental exertion, two streams of blood flowed from Sherlock's nose, but Sherlock himself seemed completely unaware of it.

Sherlock's ferocity lessened somewhat when the Philosopher's Stone in his left eye began to glow red, but it was only a slight reduction.

Inside the metal sphere, Loki was controlling the Destroyer, which was struggling frantically.

At this moment, the Destroyer was struggling and wreaking havoc inside the metal sphere. With its powerful attack capabilities and strength attributes, the entire metal sphere had long since become an absolute no-go zone for life.

If it weren't for Sherlock's alchemy, the Destroyer would have pierced through this metal sphere long ago.

The reason Loki was so angry was simple: Loki realized he had been tricked!

What a load of bull: Earth Defense Force, what a load of bull: the Three Admirals, they don't exist at all, and even that miniature version of Thor might not be anything.

The opponent's only goal from beginning to end was the Destroyer armor he was controlling!

The reason Loki was so certain was simple: his control over the armor was weakening and becoming increasingly inconsistent.

"Damn Midgard! Damn Midgardians! So cunning! So stupid!..."

Loki, far away in Asgard, was furious. With his defenses breached, Loki was trying to seize control of the Destroyer while cursing incessantly.

Loki, the god of mischief of Asgard, has now been outsmarted by those insects on Earth!

This infuriated Loki, and what angered him even more was that he knew that after the Destroyer was stolen by those Earth bugs, Thor, now without an opponent, would soon return to Asgard to stop him!

My time is running out!

After much deliberation, Loki finally gave the Destroyer armor the order to escape before severing the link with it, preparing to focus on dealing with Thor.

Meanwhile, on Earth, Sherlock felt a significant relief from the pressure the moment Loki severed his connection with the Destroyer armor.

If the Destroyer Armor controlled by Loki is like a mountain pressing down, then the Destroyer Armor without Loki's control is at most a boulder!

Sherlock knew he had made the right bet!

From beginning to end, Sherlock was betting on one thing: after losing the Destroyer armor, Loki would need to deal with returning to Asgard Sol and wouldn't have much time to care about himself. Moreover, the Destroyer's intelligence was not very high, just like the Mjolnir!

Sherlock's gamble paid off!

Using the alchemical array pre-carved on the sealing cauldron, and with the help of the Analysis of All Things, Sherlock gradually erased the intelligent imprint on the Destroyer Armor, while also slowly eroding the imprint belonging to Odin.

As the alchemical arrays that originally covered the room gradually shrank, the alchemical arrays that were originally superimposed on the outside of the large sphere also began to gradually move closer to the sphere, until finally all the alchemical arrays were inside the large sphere.

The large sphere, made of metal and covered with runes and alchemical arrays, began to crumble away like fine sand, revealing the Destroyer armor crouching inside.

At this moment, the Destroyer armor, which was originally able to wreak havoc on the battlefield, has lost all reaction and is kneeling quietly in place like a metal sculpture.

Seeing this, both Sherlock and Doro smiled with delight. After deactivating his Thor form, Doro even chuckled and pulled a pack of tissues and an orange from his four-dimensional pocket, handing them to Sherlock.

"Hey, wipe your face and have a celebratory snack."

Upon hearing Doro's words, Sherlock realized that his mouth tasted of rust. He quickly took the tissue from Doro, tidied himself up, peeled the orange, and gave half to Doro.

The two used oranges as wine glasses, clinked them together in mid-air, and then laughed heartily, enjoying the sweet and sour taste of the oranges.

As the small celebration came to an end, Sherlock ran forward and began to analyze the Destroyer Armor using alchemy.

It must be said that Odin did put more effort into his armor.

Putting everything else aside, the core alone, capable of firing destructive rays, is enough to make Sherlock envious, not to mention that the Destroyer Armor itself also possesses the attribute of warp adaptation.

Honestly, aside from the Philosopher's Stone, a versatile item, Sherlock has never seen an alchemical artifact more advanced than the Destroyer armor before him in his entire life.

If there's anything to be dissatisfied with, it's probably only the appearance of the Destroyer armor.

To be honest, even now, Sherlock doesn't quite understand why Marvel heroes like such tight-fitting designs. Tony's mechanical armor is one thing, but the rest of the characters' clothes are all tight-fitting too.

Even this Destruction Armor is like that.

Not only that, but the Destroyer Armor also has a row of spiked rivets on its shoulders and arms.

Well, judging from these spiked rivets, Odin must have been quite a rebellious punk rock kid when he was young!

After thinking for a long time, Sherlock finally made a decision: no matter what, he should first thoroughly understand the technology of the Destroyer Armor. As for the appearance, he could just modify the Destroyer Armor like he did when he modified the Meow Hammer.

The extra materials can even be used to upgrade the Spear of Longinus and make a proper Meowth Hammer for Doro, since the Destroyer Armor is made of Uru alloy, which has excellent magical properties!

Of course, Sherlock had also considered how to wear this armor; he didn't want to wear it as a bodysuit-like suit of armor.

After the analysis was complete, Sherlock immediately modified this thing into an inner armor! Then he could wear whatever he wanted on the outside!

Thinking about it this way, it does feel a bit like the kind of thing where flesh and blood are weak and machines ascend to immortality.

Chapter 73 Modification Completed

Of course, for now, Sherlock's most important task is to analyze the Destroyer Armor in front of him. After all, before he can analyze and understand the Destroyer Armor, any assumptions are just wishful thinking.

It was only when Sherlock began to analyze it that he realized analyzing the Destroyer Armor in front of him was completely different from analyzing the Meowth Hammer.

The alchemical array and runes inside the Meow Hammer are primarily used for guiding, amplifying, storing, and attacking. Strictly speaking, the Meow Hammer is essentially a 'beginner's item,' its purpose being more about guiding the divine power within the user.

However, the Destroyer Armor in front of us is completely different. The alchemical array and runes inside are mainly for defense, transformation, and even amplification. Not only is it completely different from the Meow Hammer, but more importantly, it also has an additional core and a large energy conduction system for firing destructive rays.

For Sherlock, the alchemical arrays and runes for defense, transformation, and even amplification were easy to deal with; the real difficulty lay in the runes and alchemical arrays used for energy transfer.

This complex energy conduction system was the first Sherlock had ever seen in his life, and its precision far surpassed that of any runes or alchemical arrays inside the Meowth Hammer.

However, this was not what devastated Sherlock the most. What truly devastated him was the existence of the energy core inside the Destroyer.

Sherlock simply cannot analyze this thing! Or rather, it is impossible for him to analyze it!
