Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

Chapter 502 The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse! Kid!

While Sherlock's business was booming, things were also in turmoil at the Asgardian royal palace.

The 'prisoner' that Odin had told Sherlock about had finally arrived in Asgard and was imprisoned under the dual supervision of Loki and Thor. Everything seemed perfectly normal, and there was no sign of anything wrong.

Even before entering the cells, the Asgardian soldiers searched the prisoners to make sure they had nothing that could be used as weapons before they were put into the cells.

Even so, they somewhat underestimated the ruthlessness of the dark elves.

Although the Dark Elves are nominally ruled by Asgard, and because the Aether, which they created with all their might during the previous war, was seized and sealed by Asgard, the Dark Elves have never given up the idea of ​​resistance.

During this seemingly 'peaceful' period, they developed a new technology.

Cursed Warrior.

After stabbing the target with a cursed dagger, the target will be imbued with a cursed stone. When the cursed stone breaks, the target will become a cursed warrior.

They gain powerful combat abilities at the cost of burning their lives and temporarily losing their minds.

Most importantly, this thing is extremely small, even smaller than a regular car key.

It was for this reason that when the dark elf, imprisoned in the cage, tore open his abdomen with his fingernails, took out the cursed stone, and transformed into a cursed warrior, both his fellow inmates and the Asgardian warriors on guard were startled.

Under the Cursed Warrior's overwhelming combat power, the so-called cage was as easy as a piece of paper, and after gaining his freedom, he even freed all the imprisoned prisoners.

Keep in mind that this prison was located within the royal palace of Asgard, and thus an internal riot broke out within the palace.

The entire palace was in complete chaos.

When the alarm for the prison riot sounded throughout the palace, both Frigga and Odin were stunned for a moment. Although they were not together, they subconsciously glanced at each other in each other's directions.

The next second, Frigga had Doro take Jane to hide, while she stayed behind to 'prevent intruders'.

Although Jane did not agree with the suggestion, she couldn't resist Frigga's 'stubbornness' and her insistence that she was the first witch of the Nine Realms and would not be in any danger. After much persuasion, Jane finally managed to disappear into the secret passage of her palace with Doro in her arms.

Only after Jane and Doro disappeared did Frigga sigh, glancing longingly in the direction of Thor and Loki as if she could transcend walls and distance, before pulling a small doll from her pocket.

He conjured a dagger with magic and cut his own finger.

The moment Frigga's blood dripped onto the doll, something miraculous happened: the doll transformed into Frigga's likeness in just a few breaths.

Most importantly, Frigga could perfectly control the puppet. The feeling was quite magical, as if she had suddenly gained an extra body. She could see herself through the puppet's eyes and even replicate most of her magic through the puppet.

After getting used to the controls, Frigga waved her hand, and a figure of Jane appeared in the room, while Frigga herself disappeared from the room, leaving only the doll and the phantom Jane in the room.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Asgard, Heimdall, who was in charge of guarding the Rainbow Bridge, quickly noticed something was wrong. Although everything appeared normal at first glance, Heimdall sensed that a spaceship had broken through Asgard's defenses!

Heimdall reacted swiftly, first sounding the alarm in Asgard, then sealing the Rainbow Bridge and activating the palace's defensive barrier before using his physical prowess to attack the infiltrated spaceship.

With Heimdall leaping onto the spaceship and destroying its cloaking system with his weapon, the invading Asgard spaceships were no longer able to hide and began launching a large-scale attack on Asgard.

Asgard reacted swiftly, almost immediately dispatching ships to counter it.

Meanwhile, large numbers of civilians in Asgard began to run toward the shelters, and everything seemed to proceed in an orderly manner, as if it had been rehearsed countless times.

Sherlock was stunned to see his jar stall, which had been packed with people, become completely empty the moment the air raid siren sounded.

It must be said that Asgard truly lives up to its reputation as a warrior civilization dominated by brute force; its reaction speed is even faster than that of the people of New York, who have suffered countless disasters.

Since all the customers had left, Sherlock saw no need to hold out any longer. After calmly packing up, a flash of blue light appeared, and Sherlock was standing atop the Asgardian palace. With his spear in hand, Sherlock began his performance.

According to Sherlock's plan, he only needed to stabilize the Dark Elves' offensive before the 'performance' inside the palace ended, while Odin, Thor, and Loki would handle the internal affairs.

Aside from Odin being in the know, Loki and Thor were both thoroughly outmaneuvered by Sherlock, but even so, Sherlock felt that his plan should be fine.

As Sherlock watched the Dark Elf flagship slowly appear in his field of vision, along with numerous Dark Elf warships that looked like axe blades, his playful side was aroused.

"It's time to show your power! Appear! The legendary power of destiny!"

With Sherlock's slightly chuunibyou-esque speech, the alchemy was activated the next second, and Sherlock began his counterattack against the numerous dark elf warships that were charging towards him menacingly.

As Sherlock brandished his lance, one after another, the large transport vehicles were launched like cannonballs by Sherlock using alchemy. The more he fired, the stranger the smile on Sherlock's face became.

The reason is simple: Sherlock used the ultimate power of the Great Power! The legendary Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!

Supreme laws! Ultimate stats! Unparalleled buffs! Incredible spell damage!

Well, although two of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have actually been reduced to ordinary luck power due to the geographical reasons of Asgard, the other two are simply too strong.

Not to mention the extreme values ​​of the four elements of explosion, decay, poison, and combustion, just the heaven-defying blue spell damage alone is enough to give the dark elves a hard time.

Most importantly, Sherlock was incredibly cunning. Instead of using extreme numerical values ​​and overpowered magic damage to attack the combat ships, he threw almost all the sewage trucks and chemical transports onto the Dark Elf's flagship, which looked like the Tesla logo.

In just a short while, the Dark Elf's flagship had become so unsightly that even the Dark Elves themselves seemed determined not to approach it unless absolutely necessary.

Chapter 503 Odin, the Movie Emperor

Outside, Sherlock was having a great time, but inside, a tense atmosphere prevailed.

Because of the variable of the Cursed Warrior, coupled with the surprise attack by the Dark Elves, the palace's protective shield, which should have risen, failed to do so, leaving the entire palace in an awkward situation of being attacked from both inside and outside.

Thor, Loki, and even Odin were all like headless flies, leading Asgardian soldiers around the palace, trying to defend against the prisoners who had escaped from the cells and deal with the attacks of the dark elves.

Especially Odin, you could say that as he got older, his acting skills improved. Unlike Loki and Thor, Odin was just causing trouble and even subtly driving the enemy towards Frigga's palace.

Meanwhile, the dark elves, able to sense the so-called ether particles that Jane mentioned, had a clear objective from the beginning: led by Spicy Chicken, they ran towards Frigga's palace.

Everything unfolded exactly as depicted in the movie, without any deviation from Sherlock's plan.

Spicy Chicken Shreds arrived at Frigga's palace. After a battle, he was deceived by Frigga and stabbed her with the Cursed Blade.

Seeing that 'Frigga' had collapsed to the ground, Spicy Chicken didn't have enough time to search for Jane's whereabouts, so he could only turn around and leave from the balcony of Frigga's palace by taking a spaceship.

Odin, Thor, and Loki also 'coincidentally' arrived at this time.

Here, we must mention Odin's acting skills again. When he saw 'Frigga' fall to the ground, Odin held 'Frigga's' body and cried so heartbreakingly.

It's no exaggeration to say that this scene of "Odin crying for his wife" would absolutely blow away all the performances of the best actors and actresses at the Oscars.

At least Thor, that simpleton, and Loki genuinely had no doubts.

Meanwhile, the invisible Frigga seized the opportunity to coordinate with Odin, managing to turn her 'corpse' into a burst of starlight in Odin's arms and dissipate into the air.

Seeing Odin's incredulous and unacceptable cries, Thor could no longer contain his anger and hurled Mjolnir at the Dark Elf's Tesla flagship outside.

Of course, the actual effect of this move was destined to be minimal; it was more of a way to vent Thor's anger.

The damage dealt to Spicy Chicken Shreds was negligible, even less than the damage Spicy Chicken Shreds suffered when she saw her flagship covered in Sherlock's excrement after leaving Frigga's palace.

Of course, Loki wasn't much better off. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the direction where the dark elves had disappeared, the rage of hatred in his eyes undisguised.

His fingernails were already embedded in his flesh, yet they showed no sign of loosening. It was only because Loki didn't have a hammer like Thor's Mjolnir that he might have made the same choice as Thor.

This scene naturally fell into the eyes of Odin and the invisible Frigga. A hint of worry flashed in the eyes of both Frigga, who had not yet appeared, and Odin, but they quickly concealed it.

Odin maintained his persona as someone who had lost his wife, turning his red eyes to look at everyone around him.

"Everyone, please leave. I want some peace and quiet."

As Odin uttered these words, Odin, who was already very old in everyone's eyes, seemed to age instantly to the point of near death. His once straight spine bent down like that of an old man in his twilight years.

Seeing Odin's expression, neither Thor nor Loki, nor even the guards or Jane, said anything. Everyone withdrew, leaving the space to the old man who had just lost his wife.

The moment the doors to Frigg's chambers closed, the grief and sorrow on Odin's face vanished without a trace, replaced by an expression like that of a mischievous old man.

Its remaining single eye looked towards the empty balcony on the other side.

After a while, once he was sure the door to the room wouldn't be opened, Odin spoke to the empty balcony with a hint of mischief.

"How was it? My acting wasn't bad, was it?"

Upon hearing Odin's words, Frigga's voice finally rang out.

"To be honest, I never imagined that the God King would have such profound acting skills."

As Frigga's voice appeared, the figure of Frigga, who had long been dead, reappeared on the scene. Odin, after hearing Frigga's words, simply chuckled and shook his head before speaking to Frigga.

"After all, I've played the role of a serious emperor my whole life. I've been warlike, peaceful, arrogant, and humble at the same time. There's nothing surprising about it."

At this point, Odin paused slightly, then put on his usual playful smile again, and continued speaking to Frigga.

"You know, when I was Thor's age, I was extremely obsessed with theater. I still remember that my dream back then wasn't to become the King of Asgard, but to become a famous theater star throughout the Nine Realms!"

Upon hearing Odin's words, Frigga smiled and gracefully sat down beside him, looking at her husband of half her life with amusement. This was the first time she had learned about her husband's childhood dream.

Frigga gently grasped Odin's aged hand and teased him with a smile.

"Perhaps Thor is just like you. When he was a kid, his dream was to become a Valkyrie. If I hadn't tried so hard to stop him and even beat him up a few times for it, he might be a princess now instead of a prince."

Odin's lips twitched involuntarily at Frigga's teasing. He originally wanted to refute Frigga, since although he wasn't particularly reliable when he was young, he was definitely not like Thor, who couldn't even distinguish his own gender.

God the hell, he turned from a prince into a princess!

That's called sterilization!

Odin rolled his eyes in annoyance, and just as he was about to retort to Frigga, Sherlock's voice interrupted at that inopportune moment.

"Hmm, is my timing a bit inappropriate?"

The sudden appearance of Sherlock's voice startled both Odin and Frigga. They only relaxed after confirming that it was Sherlock.

However, despite his relaxation, Odin's expression became incredibly strange.

When did you arrive?

"I just arrived, so I need to get Frigga back to Earth as soon as possible. After all, if she stays here too long, she'll eventually be discovered. Loki's illusion magic is no less powerful than Frigga's."

After saying this, Sherlock walked over to Frigga, put his hand on her shoulder, and prepared to use the power of the Space Stone to send Frigga to Earth.

Before leaving, Frigga was still a little worried about her two children and gave Odin some instructions.

"Keep an eye on Thor and Loki, don't let them go too far."

Sherlock also added a timely comment to Odin.

"That's right, don't rush it. Once you get to Earth, you'll have plenty of time to showcase your performing talents on Broadway."

Chapter 504 Is Thor really his biological son?

As soon as Sherlock said this, both Frigga and Odin in the room looked at Sherlock with utter surprise, but Sherlock didn't give them time to react.

The moment he finished speaking, he activated the Space Stone's power, disappearing from the room with Frigga, leaving Odin alone to stare at the spot where the two had vanished for a while before he finally reacted.
