Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life...

With great effort, Sherlock opened his eyes and stared blankly at the unfamiliar ceiling above him, silently examining his own body.

The anus feels okay, there's no foreign body sensation or stinging, and the Kegel exercises can be performed perfectly.

Sherlock breathed a sigh of relief and then began to check other places. Surprisingly, after checking, Sherlock found that his mechanical arm and the spear in his hand were still there, and even the Philosopher's Stone in his eye was still there.

Aside from the feeling that something was pressing down on his chest, making it a little hard for Sherlock to breathe, he didn't notice anything wrong.

This left Sherlock somewhat confused. After struggling to sit up despite his churning stomach, Sherlock decisively used alchemy to give himself a simple treatment before taking in his surroundings.

Inside a small room that looks very high-tech.

This gave Sherlock a bad feeling for a moment, but when Sherlock looked down, that bad feeling turned into complete bewilderment in an instant.

Can anyone tell me what those two lumps of fat on my chest are?

Sherlock stared at the extra part on his chest, his head full of questions. No, even if the captain really was the Hydra captain, did Hydra capture him just to perform a sex reassignment surgery on him?

Sherlock's little head was filled with big question marks.

Just as Sherlock was bewildered, the door to the room opened rapidly with a sound of pressure being released, and Tony walked in with a smile, holding a medical record.

Seeing Sherlock sit up, Tony's smile widened even more, and he said to Sherlock with a grin.

"Sherlock, you're awake! The surgery was a success. You're a beautiful young woman now."

If Tony hadn't said that, Sherlock would have been somewhat confused, but when Tony did, Sherlock's clever little mind understood the situation almost instantly.

With a cold smile, he grabbed the two lumps on his chest. As the crimson lightning unique to alchemy lit up, it was as if a layer of skin had been forcibly peeled off Sherlock's body, and the two lumps of flesh were thrown to the ground by Sherlock.

Sitting on the bed, Sherlock raised an eyebrow at Tony, his smile full of provocation.

On the contrary, Tony's face immediately darkened when he saw Sherlock tear up the thing he had painstakingly developed for revenge without the slightest hesitation.

"How did you find out? Damn it, I went to great lengths to make this thing simulate the feel of skin from the inside, there shouldn't be any flaws."

"There's really no flaw, but Tony, Dad knows you too well. I don't believe you won't find a chance to get revenge after you become Tony!"

Sherlock spoke with utmost calmness, appearing completely confident.

After all, with Sherlock's abilities, even if Tony really did perform surgery on him, Sherlock could use human transmutation to bring himself back to normal!

If there might have been some risk before, then after Sherlock returned from Asgard, with the assistance of the Seven Deadly Sins, there was practically no risk at all.

Moreover, Sherlock didn't believe Tony had the skill to actually perform surgery on him in such a short time!

"I told you long ago that this prank was impossible, but you wouldn't believe me."

Just as the two were facing off, a familiar female voice broke in. Looking in the direction of the voice, they saw none other than Black Widow in her uniform, with Doro in her arms.

"Human...you're awake!"

Upon seeing Sherlock regain his senses, Doro almost immediately jumped out of Black Widow's arms and ran straight into Sherlock's embrace, infuriating Black Widow who scolded Doro for being such a heartless little brat.

After Sherlock caught Doro safely, he heard Doro's sweet, childlike voice as she nestled in his arms and recounted what had happened.

"You fainted, and Doro was so worried. The captain said to ask the neighbors to take care of Doro, but Doro was worried about people, so he came to Uncle Iron Man for help."

Hearing Doro's childish words, Sherlock, like a loving father, patted Doro's head hard and kept praising Doro for being a good boy.

Only after calming Doro did Sherlock look up at Tony and Black Widow, his eyes revealing an undisguised 'coldness'.

"Alright, now can you tell me exactly where we are? Where are those two bastards, Black Egg and the Captain?"

As soon as Sherlock said those words, Tony, who had been looking regretful, immediately became excited, even eager to try. Black Widow, on the other hand, made no attempt to hide her anticipation.

After exchanging a glance, the two saw a hint of regret in each other's eyes. In the end, Black Widow shrugged and then spoke to Sherlock.

"You are currently on a S.H.I.E.L.D. plane. We are heading to Europe because we have received information that the guy who came out of the Tesseract and claims to be a god is currently in Europe."

As for our bald-faced director, well, unfortunately, he's not on this plane. However, the captain is there; he's outside. You'll see him when you go out.”

Upon hearing Black Widow's words, Sherlock sneered, placed Doro on his shoulder, and decisively stood up and walked outside.

Just as Black Widow said, the captain was sitting obediently on a chair outside the cabin, wearing his signature combat uniform.

Upon seeing Sherlock emerge from the cabin, the captain's face showed an awkward expression, and he forced a smile as he spoke to Sherlock.

"Hey Sherlock, I'm sorry about what happened before, but we need you. After all, that guy who calls himself a god has magic that can manipulate people's minds, and you're the only one on our side who has anything to do with the occult."

The captain seemed incredibly nervous, even his speech was somewhat incoherent, and he almost completely copied Black Egg's reasoning.

To everyone's surprise, Sherlock was not angry, nor did he retaliate against the captain on the spot. Instead, he smiled sweetly and said to the captain.

"Oh, I see. Alright, Captain, you've convinced me. Don't worry, I'll stay with the team the whole time to 'prevent' you from being mind-controlled!"

Chapter 180 The Prank Begins

Although the captain had long been prepared for Sherlock's revenge, Sherlock's reaction was clearly beyond his expectations. Looking at Sherlock sitting calmly in his seat, holding Doro, the captain was filled with disbelief.

Tony and Black Widow, on the other hand, didn't say anything after seeing Sherlock's reaction. They just tried their best to suppress their laughter and took turns patting the captain on the shoulder.

Tony, in particular, looked at the captain with pity in his eyes. As the person who had known Sherlock the longest and had also fought against him the longest, Tony knew that Sherlock's revenge was like the endless flow of the Yangtze River.

Most importantly, as the adoptive father of the rebellious son, Tony knew Sherlock's methods.

Sherlock's revenge never harms the body or takes a life; it only hurts one's pride!

The captain was quite unsettled by the two of them. Every time he tried to explain to Sherlock, Sherlock would just smile and say that he understood or that it was nothing, which made the captain even more uneasy.

Fortunately, the plane was almost over Europe. Captain America and Tony were planning to cause trouble for Loki, and could only temporarily put aside their guilt towards Sherlock.

Sherlock didn't go with them to capture Loki, partly because the captain felt it was inappropriate to involve a little guy like Doro, and partly because he felt guilty towards Sherlock.

Therefore, Sherlock sat comfortably in the co-pilot's seat of the plane, watching Captain America and Tony display their prowess in front of a group of people and arrest Loki.

When the two men put Loki on the spaceship, Sherlock finally had his first real close encounter with this dramatic character.

To Sherlock's surprise, Loki seemed to recognize him. Although he was imprisoned in the same room where Sherlock had just regained consciousness, Loki bowed slightly to Sherlock in greeting.

"Hello, alchemist from Midgard. I still vividly remember your prank on Thor last time."

Even with Loki's acting skills and composure, his lips twitched slightly as he recalled Thor's appalling behavior.

Sherlock didn't have any ill feelings towards Loki. He greeted Loki politely and then calmly sat down to watch the show.

Seeing that Sherlock didn't seem to have any intention of participating, Loki breathed a sigh of relief and began his performance.

As a sorcerer, Loki clearly understood what the doro in Sherlock's arms represented, unlike the reckless Thor.

Just like in the movie, Thor quickly arrived above the plane. When the tail door opened, Thor and Captain America jumped off the plane, with Tony following closely behind.

Seeing this, Black Widow could only find an open space to land temporarily. After glancing at Sherlock with some concern, she turned and ran off the battlefield.

Only when Sherlock and Loki were left in the entire cabin did Sherlock stand up with Doro in his arms and go outside the cabin to look at Loki with a smile.

"Interested in watching a funny prank?"

Loki was completely taken aback by Sherlock's invitation, seemingly never expecting that Sherlock would invite his enemy. After thinking for a moment, Loki asked Sherlock.

Aren't you afraid I'll run away halfway through?

Upon hearing Loki's words, Sherlock looked at Loki, who was imprisoned in the room, with great interest, as if he had heard an interesting joke.

"You are welcome to try using your illusion magic to deceive an alchemist who serves the truth, as long as you can bear the price."

Sherlock paused slightly at this point, looking at Loki on the other side of the glass with an even more amused expression, before continuing.

"Of course, I'm not that undemocratic. If you don't want to go, I won't force you. It just might test your body's oxygen consumption rate. After all, I don't know how long you Asgardians can last in a sealed space."

Sherlock's words were spoken calmly, but they sounded like thunder to Loki, not to mention how long Sherlock's 'prank' would last.

Even if it was just for a minute, Loki absolutely did not want to be locked up alone in a dark, airtight room, so he could only look at Sherlock with a wry smile.

"It seems I may not have many options left."

Upon hearing Loki's words, Sherlock's face broke into a bright smile.

"Don't worry, this prank will definitely not disappoint you, the god of pranks and tricks. In fact, I welcome any suggestions you may have."

Upon hearing Sherlock's words, Loki raised an eyebrow in surprise, finally showing interest on his face.

Honestly, in Loki's long life, this was the first time someone had invited him to watch a prank in front of him, and even asked him to give suggestions on the prank.

This feeling was something Loki was experiencing for the first time, not just in Asgard, but throughout the entire universe. To be honest, Loki didn't find this feeling repulsive.

As for Sherlock, he had even less to worry about.

Although there is no such thing as a Time Bureau in this world, anyone who has watched the so-called Loki TV series will know that the villain who was cunning and full of lies during the Avengers era was just a pitiful person seeking recognition.

Even before Sherlock's time travel, there were claims on the internet that Loki's killings were mostly done under the influence of his scepter, and that even his invasion of Earth was merely a forced act to warn Asgard.

Although the Loki before her was not the Loki who became the god of stories in the TV series, Sherlock was still betting that the Loki before him was not inherently bad.

As it turned out, Sherlock's gamble paid off. When Sherlock opened the cell door, Loki stood obediently in place. Although Sherlock believed that Loki was not inherently bad, he still used materials from the plane to craft a pair of Asgardian handcuffs to prevent any accidents.

Sherlock casually tossed the handcuffs to Loki and then said to him with a smile.

"Take it with you, so we can both watch the show with peace of mind. Don't worry, I'll make sure this thing disappears when we come back, so it won't interfere with any of your plans."

Loki, somewhat surprised, looked at the Asgardian anti-magic handcuffs that Sherlock had thrown at him. Hearing Sherlock's words, which seemed to have read all his thoughts, he said nothing, but silently put on the handcuffs that Sherlock had thrown at him. Only then did he smile and say to Sherlock.

"Then I shall respectfully accept your offer, but it won't do if the prank isn't exciting enough, after all, I am the god of pranks and tricks."

Upon hearing Loki's words, Sherlock laughed heartily and said to Loki.

"Don't worry, it will be absolutely amazing!"

After saying that, he very casually put his arm around Loki's shoulder, held Doro in his other arm, and led Loki outside, while telling Loki about his experiences in Asgard.

"You have no idea, when I went to Asgard, I almost completely fooled Thor. After I fooled that idiot, he even went and fooled his own hammer..."

Chapter 181 A Chaotic First Meeting (Part 1)

Sherlock was probably the first person in Loki's life who didn't view him with prejudice and even invited him to play pranks together, so Loki had a special sense of leniency towards Sherlock.

Although Sherlock kept recounting his pranks on Thor in Asgard, Loki couldn't muster the slightest bit of disgust. In fact, a faint smile, unnoticed even by himself, lingered on his lips.

In contrast to the harmonious scene on Sherlock's side, the other battlefield was incredibly tense, with Thor, Captain America, Tony Stark, and Black Widow practically beating their heads off.

When Sherlock arrived on the battlefield with Doro and Loki, they saw Black Widow, Tony, and the other two ganging up on Thor.

It must be said that, unlike when Thor parted ways in Asgard last time, when he was still a hammer god, this time, facing the siege of three people, the lightning on Thor's body never went out, and he looked somewhat like the God of Thunder.

Sherlock put Doro on the ground and stood on the high ground with Locke, who was handcuffed, watching the four of them fight without saying a word.

Thor swung his Mjolnir like a helicopter rotor. After hitting Captain America and sending him flying, he saw Tony's Palm Cannon, which was not far away, was fully charged. Without hesitation, Thor hurled the Mjolnir at Tony.

With the speed of the Mjolnir, Tony naturally didn't have time to dodge and was sent flying by it. The Mjolnir itself also changed direction due to the collision with Tony's armor.

Just then, Doro made his move, beckoning to the flying Mjolnir. Under Loki's incredulous gaze, the Mjolnir, which in Asgard only obeyed Thor, obediently flew into Doro's hand.

But the story that nearly made Loki's jaw drop was not over yet. As Doro hoisted Thor's Mjolnir onto his shoulder, Sherlock pulled something out of his four-dimensional pocket.

The hammer that helps seedlings grow faster!

Unlike Thor, who's a bit of a simpleton, Loki is a genuine 'academic genius' and naturally understands what the prototype of Sherlock's so-called "hammer that helps seedlings grow" really is.

Under Loki's bewildered and incredulous gaze, Sherlock actually threw the stick-like thing directly at Thor.

Meanwhile, when Thor summoned Mjolnir, instead of the familiar Mjolnir, what flew towards him was that stick-like hammer that looked like a club, yet Thor didn't sense anything amiss.

He even took the hammer, which was meant to help things grow faster, with a hint of delight, and smashed it onto Tony's armor on the head.

The next second, the entire battlefield seemed to be paused. Captain America and Black Widow stared in disbelief at Thor, who was swinging a stick around. Tony, who had been knocked away by Thor, started howling as soon as he sat up.

Almost subconsciously, Sherlock kept wiping his face with his hands. Through the team voice chat, he could clearly hear Tony's voice, which sounded like he was about to break down.

"Damn it, this muscular blond guy is filthy, Jarvis. Remember, my next suit of armor will have a full-body cleaning and disinfection system!!!"

Not only Tony, but Captain America and Black Widow were also a little at a loss for a moment. On the one hand, the scene where Thor threw something and Meowth hit him back with a stick was really too uncomfortable.

To put it simply, Thor, wielding a stick, looked far too much like the kind of pervert only found in the underworld. Who knows if that electrifying thing was even using something secondhand?

On the other hand, it was also because the moment that stick-like thing landed in Thor's hand, the lightning on Thor's body almost doubled. The dazzling silver-white lightning was practically telling everyone that this blond guy who looked no different from a monster was not someone to mess with.

Gudong.

Black Widow swallowed hard, her mind filled with explicit content, and looked timidly at the captain beside her.

"Captain, what should we do?"

Upon hearing Black Widow's question, Captain America looked at the bat Thor was swinging around, then at the shield in his own hand, and his expression became incredibly complicated.

In the end, he could only grit his teeth and say to Tony, who was still howling on the ground.
