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

With Tony leading the way, the rest of them naturally knew what to do. Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Captain America almost immediately ran to the helipad of the Helicopter, and followed Tony in their Harrier jets towards New York.

Sherlock, however, remained calm and composed, sitting in the conference room with Doro in his arms, staring blankly at Black Egg.

After a while, Sherlock coughed and asked the black-boiled egg.

"Tony now owns a building in New York?"

Seeing that Sherlock hadn't taken any action, Black Egg had probably considered at least a hundred topics that Sherlock and he could discuss in private, but he never expected that Sherlock would ask such a question.

After a moment of hesitation, Black Egg answered Sherlock's question somewhat stiffly.

"I bought it around Christmas last year, and it was only recently renovated. What's wrong?"

Upon hearing Black Egg's answer, Sherlock experienced firsthand what the gap between the rich and the poor truly meant since his transmigration.

Although he had achieved financial freedom through alchemy, he was still far behind a tycoon like Tony! Damn it, this was the first time Sherlock had ever heard of someone spending money to buy a building!

Struggling to control his twitching eyes, Sherlock waved to the black-haired egg and said.

"It's okay, I'm leaving."

After saying that, he stood up and wanted to leave, but it was obvious that Black Egg did not want to miss such a rare opportunity for a private conversation, so he quickly stood in front of Sherlock and blocked Sherlock's way.

“Mr. Sherlock…”

Before Black Egg could finish speaking, Sherlock interrupted him by raising his hand. Without any hesitation, Sherlock took out the Anywhere Door from his four-dimensional pocket and spoke to Black Egg before opening it.

"When I was repairing the No. 3 engine, I disabled all the monitoring systems inside the entire space carrier, so I'm not afraid that our conversation will be overheard by people who shouldn't be listening."

Eggshell, even if you come to me a hundred times, my answer will still be to refuse any cooperation with your S.H.I.E.L.D. I don't like your personality, and another reason is that your S.H.I.E.L.D. is far from as clean as it seems!

Besides, I don't believe you didn't check the necklace I gave Coulson; my technology is something S.H.I.E.L.D. couldn't possibly possess.

After saying that, Sherlock opened the Anywhere Door, and Blackie could clearly see the street scene of New York on the other side of the Anywhere Door.

This scene immediately silenced Blackie's desire to cooperate.

Regardless of whether Sherlock's claim about the cleanliness within S.H.I.E.L.D. is true, the value of this Anywhere Door far exceeds the limits of what S.H.I.E.L.D. can control.

Although Black Marinated Egg often seems to be in a state of worrying about things that are about to happen but doesn't understand why, it doesn't mean that Black Marinated Egg is stupid.

The mere existence of any door is enough to prove that what Sherlock just said is true.

The strategic value of the Anywhere Door almost dictates that it can only remain in Sherlock's hands. If technology like the Anywhere Door were to circulate, the worst outcome would be a direct triggering of a Dark Forest game among humans, where trust would become the most expensive thing between people, organizations, and nations.

Blackie practically watched as Sherlock carried Doro through the door and closed it, the pink Anywhere Door disappearing right before his eyes. Only then did he take a deep breath, suppressing the thoughts Sherlock had about S.H.I.E.L.D. being unclean, and turn to walk towards the main entrance of the conference room.

At the entrance to the conference room, Hill, as Eddie Redmayne's adjutant, was dutifully waiting for him, holding a tablet in his hand.

The moment Egg stepped out, Hill handed him his tablet and reported the situation.

"Satellites have detected a large energy reaction in downtown New York City. Captain America, Hawkeye, and Black Widow have already flown to the area at the center of the energy reaction. Tony's team reacted the fastest and is almost there."

According to the location displayed on the communicator, Dr. Banner and Thor were also heading towards the epicenter of the energy reaction.

Hill paused slightly before continuing.

"I've already contacted S.H.I.E.L.D. to have them cooperate with the NYPD in the evacuation and sheltering efforts to minimize casualties. Director, should we contact the military and the Iron Patriots for cooperation?"

Upon hearing Hill's question, Egg shook his head slightly before speaking to Hill.

"Forget it. Apart from the newly formed Task Force 141, the rest of the military personnel can hardly be called soldiers anymore. That Iron Patriot is just a clown that the military has put out to perform, just like the captain back then. He won't be of any use. We should just focus on providing logistical support for the Avengers and minimize casualties."

Hill contacted the Security Council and the United Nations to arrange a video conference; we need to prepare for the worst.

Hearing what Blackie said, Hill nodded, took back his tablet, thought for a moment, and then spoke to Blackie.

"Okay, I'll prepare for the meeting. However, Director, I personally suggest that you change your clothes before attending the meeting."

After saying that, Hill didn't care what Blackie's reaction was and turned to leave. As Hill left, Blackie suddenly had an ominous premonition and immediately found a place that could reflect light.

Upon seeing his comical reflection, Black Egg's roar echoed throughout the entire space carrier.

"Sherlock Flamel! You damned little bastard!!!"

Chapter 192 The Show Begins (Part 2)

Sherlock, unaware that Black Egg had finally discovered his little prank, did not immediately get involved in the Avengers' affairs after bringing Doro to New York. Instead, he used the Anywhere Door to go directly to the roof of the New York Sanctum.

Sherlock's lips twitched involuntarily the moment he opened the Anywhere Door.

Well, although he was mentally prepared, Sherlock still couldn't quite hold back when he saw the Ancient One with a face mask on, wearing sunglasses, lying on a deck chair at an angle that perfectly overlooked Stark Tower, with an ice-cold drink next to her.

For some reason, Sherlock always felt that the Ancient One seemed to have a bit of amusement-seeking nature, enjoying watching others have fun, and even now, with the Chitauri invasion, she has no intention of intervening.

"You're just going to stand by and watch? Wasn't it agreed that the Sorcerer Supreme would protect the Earth?"

Sherlock reluctantly closed his Anywhere Door, and while talking, he put the Anywhere Door into his four-dimensional pocket.

The Ancient One, on the other hand, seemed unsurprised by Sherlock's arrival. Like a young girl enjoying a sunbath, she elegantly picked up a cold drink from beside the recliner, took a sip, and then asked Sherlock a question.

Would you like some?

As the Ancient One finished speaking, without waiting for Sherlock to decide whether he wanted it or not, the Ancient One snapped her fingers. The next second, Sherlock felt a heavy weight in his hand. Looking down, he saw that he had a cold drink just like the one the Ancient One had given him.

Not only himself, but even the Ancient One, Doro, in his arms had not been forgotten.

Unlike Sherlock, Doro, the little glutton, had his eyes light up the moment he got his hands on the cold drink and immediately started drinking it. Sherlock, on the other hand, was somewhat speechless as he looked at the scene of explosions that had begun to occur not far away.

As if she had eyes in the back of her head, the Ancient One seemed to see with her own eyes that Sherlock hadn't touched the cold drink in his hand, and without even turning her head, she continued to speak to Sherlock.

"If you don't want to drink, just put it on the table. Anyway, you might not be the only guest today! As for why I, as the Sorcerer Supreme, don't care about the Chitauri invasion..."

"It's very simple, Sherlock. The Sorcerer Supreme cares about Earth. Clearly, those little gadgets aren't enough to threaten Earth!"

As she spoke, the Ancient One's tone became somewhat mischievous and expectant as she continued speaking to Sherlock.

"Besides, within a controllable range, the bigger the commotion, the more bargaining power we have, right?"

Upon hearing the Ancient One's words, Sherlock almost instantly understood what the Ancient One wanted to do, and his face immediately showed interest as he looked at the Ancient One lying on the recliner with some surprise.

Well, this was the first time Sherlock had experienced the Ancient One's ability to trick people. As long as he wasn't the one being tricked, honestly, it felt incredibly satisfying!

Seeing that Sherlock seemed to understand her meaning, the Ancient One waved her hand impatiently at Sherlock, as if shooing away a fly that was disturbing her sleep, and continued to speak to Sherlock.

"If you understand, hurry over there. You're one of the main actors in this big show!"

At this point, the Ancient One seemed to have thought of something, and then continued speaking to Sherlock.

"By the way, don't be too rough, or you won't get what you want!"

Reminded by the Ancient One, Sherlock, who had originally planned to play a prank on Loki, immediately stopped his bold ideas and looked at the Ancient One with some surprise, as well as the Time Stone on her chest that always emitted a soft green light.

If Sherlock previously hated those who manipulated time like the Ancient One, his attitude has now completely reversed. He now absolutely adores those who manipulate time like the Ancient One!

Without saying a word, he put down his cold drink, took out his cloud, and flew towards the battlefield.

Only after Sherlock left did a smile appear on the Ancient One's face, as if she had seen something interesting in the river of time.

She stood up, removed the face mask, tidied her clothes, and then prepared to greet her second guest.

Meanwhile, Sherlock was unaware of the situation on the other side. At this moment, Sherlock's mind was filled with how to get what he wanted effectively and efficiently!

If we were to pinpoint the most interesting thing for Sherlock in the entire Avengers story, it would undoubtedly be the six Infinity Stones, the most precious treasures in the universe.

If you collect all of these, their power will be even greater than the Philosopher's Stone, making them akin to the Dragon Balls of the Marvel universe.

Although the Ancient One didn't explicitly say it, it's clear that her goal is very similar to Sherlock's: the Space Stone inside the Tesseract!

This thing might not be of much use to the Ancient One, but it would be extremely useful to Sherlock.

To say that Sherlock wasn't envious of the Tesseract and the Space Stone inside would be nonsense. The only reason he didn't show it was because he was afraid that possessing such a treasure would attract endless trouble.

Now that they can obtain the Cosmic Cube legally, legitimately, and secretly, if Sherlock isn't tempted, then he'd really be a fool.

When Sherlock arrived at the center of the battlefield, the scene before him was far more shocking than what he had seen from a distance.

Above Stark Tower, a massive portal atop the tower continuously unleashed a stream of Chitauri soldiers and war beasts, while the ground was littered with wounded people.

Screams, flames, debris, and corpses were almost everywhere.

Where is the grandeur of New York as one of America's largest cities at this time?

"You unfilial son, stop daydreaming! Get to help! There are just too many enemies!"

Just as Sherlock was observing the entire battlefield, Tony's voice rang out from above Sherlock's head. With a whooshing sound, Tony flew over Sherlock's head like a missile, throwing a communicator at him in the process.

Sherlock looked at everything before him, including the enormous circular portal in the sky and the Chitauri and war beasts pouring out of it, and couldn't help but mutter a complaint.

"Indeed, it's as if the sky has an upset stomach!"

As soon as Sherlock's sarcastic remark appeared in the Avengers' communications, the previously noisy communication fell silent for a full second.

After a long while, the captain's command finally came through the communication again.

"Sherlock, just be a free man and do whatever you want! Also, please don't describe things so vividly next time, thank you!"

Chapter 193 The War Begins 1

Faced with the captain's mediocre combat ability, Sherlock didn't even bother to respond. He simply lowered his head and rubbed Doro's little head in his arms before speaking to Doro.

"Go all out and cause some trouble, Doro!"

Upon hearing Sherlock's words, Doro's eyes lit up almost instantly. He wore the same "Waaaaaa" expression as Anya, grabbing Sherlock's clothes repeatedly to confirm, as if afraid he had misheard.

"Human... can Doro really just let himself run wild? Human..."

Hearing Doro's words, Sherlock smiled and nodded at Doro, while also adding a comment.

"Of course, but only for the alien that came out of that big hole. Also, please be careful and stay safe."

Upon hearing Sherlock's words, Doro cheered, pulled out his little cloud, jumped off Sherlock's arms, and charged towards the battlefield.

However, before Doro could get far from Sherlock, he seemed to suddenly remember something and rushed back quickly, hugging Sherlock's head and giving him a big kiss on the cheek.

"Doro loves you the most~"

After saying this, Doro hurriedly flew towards the battlefield.

The conversation between Sherlock and Doro was transmitted almost verbatim to everyone's ears via the communicator on their ears. Apart from Hulk and Thor, everyone else frowned when they heard that Sherlock actually told Doro to 'cause havoc' on the battlefield.

Especially the captain, that stubborn old man, after enduring for a long time, finally succumbed to his own sense of morality.

"Sherlock, this is a battlefield, you shouldn't let Doro, a child, get involved..."

Before the captain could finish his sermon, a massive pillar of fire, more than ten meters in diameter and a hundred meters long, pierced through the entire battlefield in an instant.

Countless Chitauri soldiers and several war beasts were engulfed by the massive pillar of fire, leaving not even a speck of ash behind.

And this was just the beginning. Under the incredulous gaze of all the Avengers, the enormous pillar of fire did not disappear after completing its first attack, but instead began to writhe in mid-air like a giant snake.

Then, little by little, all the characteristics of a snake appeared, and the enormous fire serpent began to roam above the battlefield like a god descending to earth.

As the fire serpent devoured more and more war beasts and Chitauri soldiers, the fire serpent gradually transformed, from a serpent into a dragon, and then from a dragon into a serpent.

Although the whole process is described as taking a long time, in reality, only a few breaths passed from the time the huge pillar of fire appeared to the time when the majestic Eastern dragon appeared in the sky above New York.

The moment the fire dragon took shape, it began to roam the streets. The enormous war beast, which even the Avengers would have to exert considerable effort to destroy, was swallowed up by the massive fire dragon as if it were an insignificant worm.

Hawkeye, standing high above, witnessed almost the entire process. Not only that, when the lifelike fire dragon appeared, Hawkeye also clearly saw Doro standing atop the fire dragon's head, resembling an Eastern deity.

At this moment, Doro wore a phoenix-winged purple-gold crown, a golden chainmail armor, and lotus-silk cloud-walking boots. The Immortal Binding Rope, radiating golden light, formed a ribbon-like pattern behind Doro. In his hand, he held a miniature spear imbued with fiery clouds, which acted like a conductor's baton, controlling the enormous fire dragon beneath his feet.

Hawkeye's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets at the sight, and it wasn't just Hawkeye; the entire Avengers and even the ordinary citizens who witnessed the whole thing were completely stunned.

No one could have imagined that the little pink-haired ball of fur that looked like a rag doll would have such formidable abilities, especially those who were familiar with Doro, whose jaws nearly dropped to the ground.

The feeling is no less than when your cat suddenly summons a real Unit-01 in front of you and pilots it to fight against the Angels.

This scene shocked not only the audience but even Sherlock himself. At that moment, Sherlock had only one thought: Lao Jun, what exactly did you teach Doro?

Seeing this scene, Hawkeye almost twitched his lips as he complained to the captain on the communication channel.

"Captain, I think we might not be in a position to say that Doro is a child..."

Meanwhile, Sherlock was not idle either. If Doro's side gave people a shocking contrast, then Sherlock's ability showed strategic value in the war.

The moment Doro charged out, Sherlock landed on the ground. Covered in armor, Sherlock stood with his hands clasped together, and crimson lightning crackled around him, his power no less than that of Thor, the God of Thunder.

The next second, countless pure white spheres, about the size of tennis balls, poured into Sherlock's four-dimensional pocket like a waterfall.

The moment those spheres touch the ground, they transform into inflatable Baymaxes, each about the size of Doro. Then, countless Baymaxes, with their clumsy and comical gait, quickly surge into the battlefield.

Almost instantly, countless Baymaxes took over the evacuation work from the NYPD and S.H.I.E.L.D. on the battlefield.
