Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

and! No! Have!

Aside from Zhang Zhi, who sensed something was wrong and decisively froze himself on the ground, everyone else was flying around inside the spaceship, including Lilith and Doro.

Doro, in particular, had her little face puffed up like a steamed bun, and she was tightly covering her mouth.

Of course, although Zhang Zhi froze himself on the ground and didn't become a die, the violent flipping, shaking, and swaying didn't make Zhang Zhi's complexion any better than Doro's.

Not to mention the unfortunate souls on the spaceship, even Sherlock wasn't much better off!

Don't be fooled by Sherlock's seemingly fine appearance while sitting in the driver's seat. He's only holding back his vomit because of adrenaline. Once the adrenaline wears off, Sherlock will definitely be the one vomiting the most.

The key point is that Sherlock could tolerate the discomfort, but what he couldn't stand was the utter frustration.

I still haven't figured out how to use the spaceship's weapon systems!

Sherlock had practically crushed the launch button on the steering wheel. Forget about weapons, he hadn't even opened his damn protective shield. The fact that he could last this long while running naked was all thanks to Sherlock's alchemy.

During another violent roll, Huang Mian, carrying Lilith, was caught off guard and crashed directly onto the control panel. Then, due to inertia, she changed direction again and slammed into Sherlock's face.

Sherlock, who was already very nervous, became panicked after the yellow cotton was smeared all over his face. The nausea that had been suppressed by adrenaline gradually began to get out of control.

The moment Sherlock let out his first retching sound, Huang Mian could say she had never felt so humiliated in her life.

"Sherlock! Father! Grandfather! Ancestors! Hold on! I beg you! This is my only request in this life!"

Unfortunately, although Sherlock managed to hold back, his obstructed view caused him to struggle almost instinctively. Who knows what he touched, but the entire spaceship suddenly came to an abrupt halt and began to reverse wildly.

The group, who were already like dice, were instantly slammed against the dashboard and windshield by inertia.

The good news is that Sherlock's vision has finally cleared up a bit.

The bad news is that it was only slightly brighter; the entire windshield was completely blocked by the people inside the cabin.

However, it didn't end there. Sherlock's retching sound was like opening Pandora's box. Just as Sherlock was barely suppressing his nausea, Zhang Zhi, who was standing behind him, also let out a retching sound.

Following Zhang Zhi's gagging as a lead-in, Doro, who had barely managed to stand up at the control panel, also let out a gagging sound.

Sherlock, who had just suppressed his nausea, actually started to lose control after the two of them gagged, and even began to roll his eyes.

The people covered by the windshield looked at the three of them as if they were watching a volcano that could erupt at any moment. Sister Hua had never felt such fear in her life. Without saying a word, she snatched Gandalf's long-beaked bird-headed wand from next door and slammed it on the control panel.

No matter where you get hit, it's better than getting vomit all over your face, right?

But sometimes, when bad luck strikes, even drinking cold water can cause problems. When Sister Hua slammed her hammer down, sparks flew from the entire control panel, crackling and popping, and even the alarms started blaring throughout the entire spaceship.

Before anyone could figure out what was happening, the next second, everyone who had been stuck to the windshield felt a tremendous force strike them, and in an instant, they were slammed back onto the wall behind the driver's seat.

Even during the process, due to the suddenness of the event, the scabbard of Sister Hua's sword in the stone struck Sherlock's neck directly. Under the immense force, Sherlock couldn't catch his breath and his eyes rolled back as he fainted.

That wasn't the worst part. The worst part was that after Sherlock fainted, under everyone's watchful eyes, the originally normal view of outer space on the windshield began to gradually become distorted.

The starlight gradually merged into a straight line, hurtling rapidly toward the back of the spaceship.

Good news! Sister Hua's hammer blow propelled the spaceship into faster-than-light travel, effectively escaping the enemy's pursuit.

The bad news is that the driver has passed out.

Even worse news is that even if the pilot is awake, he probably doesn't know the destination of this faster-than-light jump.

The worst news is that although the faster-than-light jump was successfully initiated, it was clear that the initiation method was completely wrong. Otherwise, everyone on site wouldn't have been pressed hard against the wall, feeling as if a huge mountain was pressing down on them.

Aside from the most basic breathing, even moving a finger was incredibly difficult. He could only frantically call out to Sherlock in his distorted voice, trying to wake the unconscious Sherlock.

What the group didn't know was that near the base, the group of guys who had been chasing Sherlock's ship all looked like they'd seen a ghost after witnessing the ship's operation.

Putting aside Sherlock's maneuvers, which were absolutely beyond the limits of the transport ship's capabilities, the sheer number of times he moved forward, stopped abruptly, drifted backward, and then swung the car around to enter faster-than-light warp was enough to make their eyes pop out of their sockets.

To be honest, after all that maneuvering, it's a miracle the pilots and passengers inside the spaceship weren't completely turned to mush.

The subsequent unprotected and unsecured entry into faster-than-light jump was a classic example of a violation of regulations.

So much so that after Sherlock and his group's spaceship disappeared from the spot, none of the other ships even bothered to give chase; instead, they immediately started cricketing in their communications.

Passerby A: "Wait, am I seeing things? No protection, no safety measures, and he just went straight for a faster-than-light jump? Has our boss put all the Celestials into his collection?"

Passerby B: "Come on, just look at the maneuvers that spaceship makes it clear the person inside is some kind of superhuman. He dares to do those maneuvers, I wouldn't dare follow! This is a transport ship, not some damn combat spaceship!!!"

Passerby Ding: "Stop talking nonsense! You guys don't know, I just hit them more than ten times! More than ten times! These gods are acting like nothing happened!"

Most importantly, the spaceship didn't disintegrate, didn't explode, and it even jumped away! With that kind of technology, wouldn't it be great if you became a star in a spaceship racing competition?

Boss C: "Alright, enough nonsense, hurry up and finish the task the boss assigned! I need to think carefully about how to write this report to make the boss believe that what just happened was true!"

Passerby A: "Please accept my condolences!"

Passerby B: "Please accept my condolences!"

Passerby Ding: "Please accept my condolences!"

Boss C: "..."

Chapter 367 The Other Side of the Galaxy Sand Sculpture Team

While things were in complete chaos on Sherlock's side, the situation on Xandar wasn't much better.

While Sherlock and his friends were experiencing just how terrifying it was to fly a spaceship without a license, Rocket was pulling Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, and Groot out of prison.

To be honest, although Xandar's technology has advanced dramatically since it entered interstellar civilization, its confinement conditions are really quite ordinary.

Rocket escaped the so-called prison using only a power battery, a prison guard's safety wristband, and a prosthetic leg that was not technologically advanced at all.

Although Star-Lord only found out at the very end that Rocket wanted that prosthetic leg for no real purpose and just for fun, Star-Lord was quite angry.

After escaping, the group did not separate. Instead, they boarded Star-Lord's spaceship and prepared to sell the Power Stone to Gamora's client.

The price of 40 billion is more than enough for this group of people to divide. Even if they split it equally, the 40 billion is enough for these people present to live a worry-free life for the rest of their lives.

The buyer who could afford this astronomical price of 40 billion was none other than a collector with an inextricable connection to Sherlock and his group!

To be honest, when the Power Stone appeared, the Collector was almost immediately focused on news about it. And because of the Power Stone, the Collector didn't even have time to deal with the riot in his own collection room.

In order to receive the Power Stone, the collectors even ignored or abandoned their collections stored in the collection room on that isolated meteorite.

After all, compared to the Infinity Stones, the items in his own collection room are no match for those six in the universe, both in terms of price and rarity.

The place he and Gamora agreed to meet was the most famous black market in the universe.

A barren land! Or you could call it a void.

Although it is called a planet, it looks more like a head from a distance. Legend has it that this head is the corpse of a member of the Celestials after death, and there are also rumors that it is the head of an ancient creature.

After this item was discovered, it almost immediately became a natural location for the black market.

The enormous skull itself, like a planet, provides shelter for those engaged in black or gray industries. Furthermore, almost everything inside the skull—organic matter, spinal fluid, and brain tissue—is of extremely high value.

These high-value items attract even more criminals, eventually creating a barren land that many people know about but no one dares to actually do anything to.

Furthermore, these criminals are often backed by various complex networks of interests, which has turned this huge head into a lawless area.

Because of their peculiar collecting habits, collectors are naturally not accepted by the mainstream of the universe, so this place can be considered a stronghold for collectors.

Under Gamora's command, Rocket, Groot, Star-Lord, and others quickly found the Collector's lair inside the enormous head.

The group initially didn't know that the metal sphere they had obtained was actually a container for the Power Stone, one of the Infinity Stones, but the Collector kindly explained it to them.

After all, people with a collecting hobby love to show off their collections.

Rocket and Groot didn't really care about the Infinity Stones; what they really cared about was the $40 billion bounty. But unlike Rocket and Groot, Gamora and Star-Lord were genuinely concerned.

After all, if this thing falls into the wrong hands, the damage it causes will be far greater than imagined. Therefore, Gamora plans to send this thing to Xandar and entrust it to the Nova Legion for safekeeping.

The video the collector showed them included a scene where someone resembling a Celestial used the Power Stone to destroy all life on a planet. Gamora and Star-Lord couldn't possibly risk letting something like the Power Stone fall into the wrong hands.

Taking advantage of the moment when the alien, who no longer wanted to be the Collector's maid, touched the Power Stone and was burned to ashes, Gamora immediately closed the metal sphere containing the Power Stone and pulled Star-Lord outside.

Star-Lord was actually somewhat reluctant to leave, after all, this thing was worth four billion, and the disappearance of the maid proved that the collector had not lied to them; this thing was not something that just anyone could handle.

Most importantly, even if he didn't want to actually sell this thing to a collector, he could have easily snatched it from a collector before leaving; there was no need to leave in such a hurry.

However, facts soon proved that Gamora's choice was correct.

Just as the two escaped from the Collector's territory with the Power Gem, a warship and countless small combat spaceships appeared in the sky.

Unsurprisingly, the person who tracked them down was Ronan, the guy who had a personal grudge against Gamora and also coveted the Power Stone.

The reason Ronan was here was because the Destroyer wanted to settle his personal score and secretly told Ronan that Gamora and the Power Stone were here.

Most importantly, it was originally thought that the Destroyer could hold its own against Ronan for a few moves, but in reality, it was defeated by Ronan in just a few moves and was even casually thrown into the cerebrospinal fluid, which is known as the "urine tank".

The instant the Destroyer was instantly killed, a chaotic four-way battle began.

Ronan covets the Power Stone and wants to obtain it while simultaneously eliminating Gamora.

The Collector also coveted the Power Stone, and he had many followers, so he didn't hesitate to attack not only Gamora but also Ronan.

Ronan naturally retaliated, and he had no intention of letting Gamora and the others go either.

Nebula, standing next to Ronan, was staring intently at Gamora, her expression clearly geared towards killing her.

Although Rocket, Destroyer, and Groot didn't have a deep affection for Gamora at this point, they were still teammates, so they couldn't just watch Star-Lord and Gamora being chased like dogs. They also joined the battle.

The battle between these parties naturally attracted the attention of all forces in the Barren Land, or to be more precise, it angered many forces in the Barren Land.

As a result, many forces in the area began to participate in this massive melee.

In the midst of this chaotic, carnival-like battle, a black box silently leaped out from the outer edge of the enormous head during a faster-than-light jump, smashing through one of the giant head's front teeth and penetrating its interior.

Yes, whether it was good luck or bad luck, just when the inside of the skull was almost turned into a dog's brain, Sherlock and his group arrived!

Chapter 368 When bad luck strikes...

Boom!

With a loud crash, the transport ship, already dilapidated due to repeated violations and held together only by Sherlock's alchemy, finally gave way and turned into a complete piece of scrap metal.

The good news is that although the spaceship was destroyed, at least everyone in the cockpit managed to stay afloat. The three Seafood Admirals protected Lilith, while Flora and Gandalf protected Doro, and none of them were seriously injured. At most, they were just a little tired due to the pressure of starting the faster-than-light flight.

But Sherlock, as the driver, had a much more tragic fate.

Sherlock regained consciousness when he first smashed the giant head's front teeth, due to the powerful impact and vibration.

The good news is that when the windshield of the cockpit shattered, they had already entered the atmosphere of this giant head planet, so there was no need to worry about leakage of internal and external air pressure.
