Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

As he said this, a flash of red light appeared in Chi Xing's eyes, and he immediately assumed a fighting stance, speaking to Huang Mian and Zhang Zhi beside him.

"Watch out, the big one is coming!"

Watching the interaction between the three, Sherlock protected Lilith and Doro on his head while he and Doro looked at the three seafood generals standing in front of them with starry eyes.

That red light in those eyes just now must have been Observation Haki, right? It definitely was Observation Haki! Can I learn that? It looks so cool!

Clearly, Sherlock and Doro were completely unaffected by the so-called impending crisis. After their chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) spirits erupted, all they could think about were the powerful settings from One Piece.

However, reality did not give Sherlock and Doro a chance to confirm their guesses. The moment the three Seafood Generals got into position, a deafening sound came from the distance of the seemingly endless collection room.

As the sound grew louder, the so-called 'big' that Akahoshi was talking about came into Sherlock's view.

Insect swarm!

The densely packed insects, enough to trigger trypophobia with just a glance, surged towards the group at an incredible speed, forming a giant wave over ten meters high.

Most importantly, the insects that make up the swarm are not just simple insects, but extremely tiny mechanical insects!

The sounds of clashing metal and sparks could be heard almost everywhere above the swarming waves of insects.

"A massive fireball!"

Ice Age!

"The Eight-Foot Jade Curved Jewel!"

The three of them unleashed their most powerful area-of-effect skills almost simultaneously to stop the so-called insect swarm and try to fight against it.

Sherlock did not make a move, but instead endured his nausea and observed the rules of the insect swarm.

It was obvious that although the mechanical insects were extremely small, they were almost harmless to the people inside the glass jar. Therefore, any creature that stayed obediently inside the glass jar could completely ignore the insect swarm.

As for those who escaped, the collection of corpses and various specimens that Sherlock saw along the way seemed to indicate their fate.

Clearly, collectors don't care whether the creatures they collect are specimens or live organisms; they just want to own them.

The fact that Lilith grabbed Sherlock's clothes tightly the moment the swarm of insects appeared, and even began to tremble, proved that Sherlock's guess was completely correct.

Although the three seafood generals are indeed powerful and their area-of-effect attacks are enormous, they are gradually starting to struggle against the seemingly limitless swarm of insects before them.

It's not that I'm physically exhausted, but rather that more and more of the large number of people have slipped through the net.

When the number of those who slipped through the net reached a certain level, the quantity led to a change in quality, forcing the three to change their tactics. In doing so, they created even more openings in their defenses.

If this continues, not only would the three seafood giants in front of them be unable to withstand such an offensive, but anyone in their place would also be unable to withstand it.

Of course, Sherlock is definitely an exception. After all, the Collector's approach is sufficient for most species, but it certainly doesn't include alchemists like Sherlock or absolute powerhouses like Odin.

Sherlock didn't even use the Lancer's abilities; he simply summoned it, ordered the three Seafood Generals to retreat, and then used the Lancer's unique ability to perform alchemy remotely to target the oncoming swarm of insects.

The next second, as crimson lightning exploded on the spear, the overwhelming swarm of insects vanished without a trace wherever the spearhead passed, leaving only a foul smell of rust in the air.

Sherlock used alchemy to disintegrate all the mechanical insects that made up the insect swarm on a large scale!

Chapter 358 Intensifying the Collector's Skills

Sherlock's move not only intimidated the three Seafood Generals who doubted his fighting ability, but even the creatures in the surrounding glass jars stared at the god-like man wielding a long spear with eyes that looked like they had seen a ghost.

It should be noted that such escapes have happened countless times before. Almost every time, everyone watched helplessly as the swarm of insects attacked and then slowly dissipated, leaving only a complete corpse or specimen that would be placed in a new location by the later guards.

Such a direct victory over the insect swarm has never happened before! And it was such a crushing victory! The metal atoms falling from the air were more shocking than any words of persuasion.

If Sherlock had asked Lilith earlier if she wanted to go home, the three Seafood Generals might have suspected that Sherlock's motives were impure, perhaps because he was after Lilith's racial talent.

But now, the three seafood generals truly believe that Sherlock can send Lilith home.

After all, with Sherlock's methods, which they couldn't understand at all, if he really wanted to do something to Lilith, they wouldn't even be able to stop him.

Clearly, Sherlock had given everyone a tremendous shock, but Sherlock himself seemed completely unconcerned about the situation. He calmly put away his spear and looked at the dumbfounded Seafood Generals, asking them a question.

What comes after the insect swarm?

Faced with Sherlock's question, the three Seafood Generals collectively shook their heads in a daze, and Lilith stepped forward to become the translator for the dumbfounded Seafood Generals.

"Sherlock, Sherlock, they mean they don't know either, because no one has ever survived until after the insect swarm!"

Upon hearing Lilith's words, Sherlock's lips twitched, but in the blink of an eye, he came up with a plan.

Although Sherlock didn't know what other tricks the collection room might have up its sleeve, that didn't mean he had no way to deal with it!

Upon realizing this, Sherlock's face immediately broke into a wicked grin, and Doro on Sherlock's head instantly understood her thoughts, trembling with excitement. His little face was practically screaming, "Trouble!"

The two, one big and one small, understood each other almost instantly. Doro jumped off Sherlock's head, found one of the collars from the three Seafood Generals that Sherlock had just broken, handed it to Sherlock, and then decisively ran to the side and took Lilith's hand.

Although Lilith had no idea what was going to happen, she wasn't averse to Doro. Instead, she curiously squeezed Doro's little hand.

Meanwhile, the three seafood generals on the other side seemed to understand something in an instant. The expression on their faces changed from scrutiny at the beginning to fear in less than a second.

However, it was too late when they tried to stop Sherlock. Before they could even say "wait," Sherlock, holding the collar, clasped his hands together in front of his chest and slammed them to the ground.

The next second, a huge alchemical array began to rapidly expand outwards from Sherlock. Although the so-called collection room was exceptionally large, Sherlock, with the assistance of the Seven Deadly Sins, still managed to include the entire collection room within his alchemical array.

The moment the alchemy array enveloped the entire collection room, a series of crisp clicking sounds rang out throughout the room.

Whether they were intelligent or not, everyone with a collar around their neck was astonished to see the collar unlock and fall to the ground.

However, this was not the end. Accompanied by the sound of shattering glass, the next second, cracks appeared on all the glass jars, large and small, in the entire collection room, and the cracks multiplied until they covered the entire glass jar.

At this point, Sherlock didn't continue. Instead, he stood up, waved to Doro, and ran outside.

Doro immediately understood and, without saying a word, grabbed Lilith and ran after Sherlock.

Before the three seafood generals on the other side could react, after Sherlock had run quite a distance away, a sound of breaking glass came from not far away, followed by a deafening roar.

The roar was like a switch being flipped, and the sound of shattering glass followed one after another. The once quiet and peaceful collection room became lively almost instantly.

"Holy crap!" *3

With this realization, the three Seafood Generals instantly understood what had happened! That bastard Sherlock had actually unleashed all the creatures in the Collection Room!

While this may seem like a good thing, it is actually not the case for the creatures in the entire collection.

The universe is so vast that countless races and creatures have their own enemies and natural enemies, and the collection room originally forcibly isolated this law of the jungle by using glass jars.

But now, Sherlock has broken the 'isolation device' used to keep the entire collection room quiet.

This means that, currently, all the creatures in the entire collection room are 'free'! Although many of them possess considerable intelligence, intelligent beings often share a common trait.

It's difficult to reach a consensus and dedicate oneself fully to a single goal!

Moreover, this place is not only inhabited by intelligent beings, but also by many ferocious beasts. Although the three seafood generals are just seafood, and apart from Squidward, the prototypes of the other two are very likely not very smart.

But seeing this scene, they knew that if they didn't want to get caught up in the chaos of the collection room, the only way out was to follow Sherlock!

After exchanging a glance, the three of them cursed and charged toward Sherlock.

Meanwhile, after running for a while, Sherlock roughly estimated the distance and actually used some materials on site to craft a bicycle. Then he picked up Doro and Lilith.

He placed the two little guys on the crossbar of the bicycle, then grabbed his rifle and charged forward relentlessly.

"Zhao Zilong of Changshan is here! All bystanders, get out of the way!"

Seeing that Sherlock was having a great time, Doro, sitting on the crossbar, darted around a few times before decisively pulling out the curry stick he had collected from S.H.I.E.L.D. from Sherlock's four-dimensional pocket and running straight to the back of the bicycle.

Under the incredulous gaze of the three seafood generals behind him, Doro easily pulled out the sword in the stone (diao) embedded in the boulder, and without saying a word, he imitated Saber and fired an EX Curry Stick at the back of Sherlock's car!

Under the immense impact of the Ex-Curry Stick, Sherlock's bicycle evolved into a rocket bicycle, and the spear in Sherlock's hand was swung even more rapidly. Both of them, one big and one small, had satisfied smiles on their faces, clearly having a blast.

The two, one big and one small, were having a blast, but it was tough on the three seafood generals following behind. Not to mention the curry sticks that Doro used to speed up from time to time, the little guy's curry stick attack looked so frivolous.

Chapter 359 Sherlock: What the hell!

Of course, whether Doro's weapon is a legitimate weapon or not is not something that Akahoshi and Zhang Zhi, who use Huangmian as a mount, can judge. After all, the two of them can only keep up with Sherlock, who is riding ahead of them, by relying on Huangmian's speed.

As for Huang Mian, who is the mount?

Huang Mian really didn't have the mind to evaluate whether Doro's weapon was legitimate or not. After all, she had to keep using the Yata Mirror to travel while holding one companion in each hand, and she also had to dodge Doro's curry sticks from time to time.

Huang Mian was too busy to even consider whether Doro's weapon was legitimate or not. She had to squeeze in a quick, awkward comment to say something like "Wow!"

As for Lilith, who was sitting in front of Sherlock on the bicycle crossbar, there's not much to say. She had never experienced anything so exciting in her life, and her brain was already a bit overwhelmed. The fact that she hadn't fainted was already a testament to the little succubus's good mental state.

Moreover, given the current speed of the bicycle, Sherlock couldn't worry about anything else. He just needed to focus on heading towards the exit that the alchemy had just detected. He could deal with any problems after they got out.

The group was undeniably flamboyant, given that Doro's curry sticks covered a considerable area.

Of course, since this thing came from S.H.I.E.L.D., Doro felt tired after firing five or six Curry Sticks. Although he didn't continue firing Curry Sticks to accelerate, he still waved the Sword in the Stone (diao) in his hand from the back seat to help Sherlock deal with the beasts that pounced from behind and on both sides.

Regardless of whether the sword in the stone was truly righteous or not, with Doro's involvement, Sherlock genuinely felt that the obstacles on his path had significantly decreased, so he didn't say anything more.

Of course, the most important reason why the group was so conspicuous was that Sherlock's clear-cut advance naturally attracted the attention of a large number of intelligent people, who immediately followed Sherlock and rushed towards the exit.

Gradually, the number of people following Sherlock began to increase, and without exception, these people were all skilled individuals, just like the three Seafood Generals.

After all, ordinary people like the evil Mickey Mouse we saw before would indeed have a hard time keeping up with Sherlock's speed without external interference.

The moment Sherlock approached the door to the collection room, which he sensed through alchemy, he decisively raised his spear and dismantled the door.

The moment Sherlock sped off on his bicycle, he sheathed his lance, grabbed Lilith in front of him and Doro behind him, and abandoned the bicycle to stand beside the gate he had just opened.

Following closely behind were the three Seafood Generals. Although the three did not know why Sherlock had stopped, they still chose to stand with Sherlock.

However, the next second, the countless intelligent creatures and all sorts of rare and ferocious beasts that poured out of that dark cave proved just how correct Sherlock's choice was.

While inside the collection room, due to Doro's actions, and with more and more people choosing to gamble that Sherlock really knew the exit, Sherlock even led out a force resembling a swarm of insects.

Furthermore, while using alchemy, Sherlock vaguely sensed that this so-called collection room was not a normal space, but rather a superior technology that used spatial corridors, similar to the one used when Thor was imprisoned on the garbage planet.

And indeed, Sherlock's guess was correct. The moment he rushed out of the so-called collection room, he was greeted by an exceptionally luxurious corridor, filled with objects that resembled the jars in the collection room.

Sherlock hid by the gate for two reasons. First, he wanted the 'beast tide' he had led to scout ahead for him, and second, to weaken the outside security system, making it easier for him to take advantage of the chaos.

On the other hand, he didn't want to get too involved in these messy things. For Sherlock, finding the star map and transportation was the real priority.

Even so, when Sherlock saw the sword in the stone in Doro's hand, which was even longer than Doro's height, his lips still twitched.

To be honest, Sherlock even began to wonder if the little thing had drained all his luck when he created Doro.

Goodness, not only does Meowth Hammer acknowledge Doro, but now it can even easily pull out that little thing in the stone (diao)?

Although this sword in the stone (diao) in front of us isn't exactly respectable, it still represents the qualities of a king!

Sherlock was confused and shocked. He rolled his eyes, took the sword in the stone from Doro's hand (who had an awkward smile), and prepared to stick it into a rock and put it back into his four-dimensional pocket.
