Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

So, if Jane is right, then the Dark Elf's next step after obtaining the Aether should be to go to Earth and wait for the Nine Realms to intersect before launching his so-called plan to plunge the Nine Realms into darkness!

We must get to Earth as soon as possible to determine exactly where the Nine Realms intersect…

Thor paused for a moment, looked up at Loki, who was sitting beside him silently wiping his wand, and then continued after a while.

“Loki, your identity is not suitable for you to appear on Earth. Your mission is to return to Asgard and ask my father not to start a war. Let Sherlock return to Earth to help me. I will solve the problem of the Dark Elves.”

Upon hearing Thor's words, Loki's lips twitched, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Because of the Battle of New York, Loki is indeed not suitable to appear on Earth, at least not in public. However, the idea of ​​Loki obeying his simple-minded brother's orders makes Loki somewhat resistant.

"Don't try to order me around, Thor! Don't forget that Spicy Chicken is my enemy too! Besides, if I fly back to Asgard in my spaceship, how are you and that stupid woman going to get to Earth?"

Loki almost instinctively retorted to Thor, but just as Loki finished speaking, a sound of metal falling suddenly rang out from the open ground not far from the three of them.

Almost instantly upon hearing the sound, Loki and Thor pinpointed the direction from which it came and prepared for battle.

However, there were no enemies in the direction from which the sound came; there was only an aluminum can lying quietly on the dark elf's planet, on the desert-like black ground.

The moment they saw the aluminum can, they all fell silent. After all, they were certain that the damned aluminum can hadn't been there in that spot.

Even this can with the Coca-Cola logo shouldn't exist on the Dark Elf planet, which is practically a desert!

That's a product of Earth!

"Sherlock? Mentor? Is that you? I knew you'd always be watching me!"

The moment Thor saw the can, he almost instinctively assumed that Sherlock had thrown it, and immediately shouted in the direction of the can.

Unfortunately, there was no answer to Thor; only the mournful wind of the Dark Elf homeland could be heard.

After witnessing this embarrassing scene, Loki sneered at Thor, but before he could even open his mouth to mock the self-righteous Thor, Jane spoke up excitedly first.

"I understand, Sherlock isn't here! This is a spatial rift connecting to Earth! According to Thor's theory of the intersection of the Nine Realms, the so-called intersection of the Nine Realms should be here, or somewhere nearby! We have a way to return directly to Earth, without needing to go through Asgard!"

As Jane's explanation began, Loki clicked his tongue in annoyance, gave Thor a disapproving glance, and then vanished without a trace in an instant.

Loki's move startled Jane. After all, it was quite terrifying for a living person to disappear from her sight in an instant. Jane even felt like she had seen a ghost.

Thor, on the other hand, seemed unfazed, even a little smug, as he stood up from the ground, grabbed Jane who was still in a daze, and said to her.

"Don't be so surprised. Loki is just too proud to admit it. He went back first. Let's just go find the spatial rift and not worry about it."

After saying that, Thor whistled and walked ahead, but before he had taken two steps, Jane called him back with a speechless look on her face.

"You're going the wrong way!"

Chapter 509 Doro's Perverse Pleasures

As soon as Jane uttered those words, the smile on Saul's face, which had been a hint of 'because God couldn't bear to see it anymore and secretly helped him out so he narrowly defeated his brother,' instantly froze.

Even when she turned around, her face turned as red as a monkey's bottom, and she walked with a slightly clumsy, robotic gait.

Seeing her silly boyfriend's ridiculous appearance, Jane could only sigh helplessly and say nothing. She silently hugged Doro, who was covering his mouth and laughing like a kitten that had stolen cream, and followed her silly golden retriever.

As it turned out, Jane's judgment was correct. The group walked only a short distance before they saw a cave. Most importantly, Jane found the key she had thrown into the cave when she was checking the crack.

After cautiously testing the waters with her hand, Jane took Thor's hand without hesitation and they passed through the spatial rift, returning to Earth from the dark elves' planet, which looked like a dark desert.

And incredibly, it appeared near the London factory where Jane was parasitized by the Aether.

With the key in hand, Jane didn't hesitate at all and drove her beat-up car with Thor and Doro towards her home.

Since Saul 'ran away from home', Jane has also moved to London with her tutor to pursue her studies, which can be seen as a small act of revenge against Saul.

It can only be said that fate is unpredictable. After going around in circles, Jane still met Thor and their old feelings were rekindled. Even after the incident with the dark elves, Jane was able to find her good friend Daisy for help.

After making a phone call exclusively to her best friend, Jane brought Thor and Doro to their mentor Eric's apartment, where they saw Daisy and a young man.

Although Jane was curious about the young man's identity, time was of the essence, and Jane didn't have time to delve into it. After entering the room, she pulled her mentor Eric, who was only wearing underwear, and Daisy to start calculating the specific spatial coordinates of the intersection of the nine realms.

The matter would have been fine up to this point, but the problem was that Saul couldn't help Jane at all with these issues and could only sit quietly and watch Jane and her friend busy themselves.

However, that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that while Jane and Daisy were calculating those damn spatial coordinates, that damn pink-haired doro was stuck to Jane the whole time.

Not to mention that Doro is hanging on Jane and Jane doesn't care, and even Jane's 'friends and family' don't think there's anything wrong with it, the most important thing is that this little pink-haired dumpling is still constantly provoking her!

Do you understand what provocation means?

That damn pink-haired bunny clinging to Jane's body—whenever that damn thing makes eye contact with her, that little brat puts on a sleazy, obnoxious expression, just like her mother, Momonosuke.

But whenever Jane or Daisy looks at that damn pink fluffy thing, it instantly switches to that adorable little face.

Even whenever Jane inexplicably sees Thor glaring fiercely at Doro, she gives Thor an extremely harsh glare, signaling him not to provoke Doro.

This almost made Thor's blood pressure rise. If Jane hadn't been there, Thor would have definitely sparred with that damn pink-haired ball of a ball!

Finally, under Thor's fierce gaze, as expected, Thor received a punishment from Jane, who was calculating her position. After Jane punished Thor, Thor calmed down and became obedient.

When Thor calmed down and looked at the little pink-haired ball that had been provoking him, he had a look of utter despair.

After all, the reality is that he can't beat this little thing in a fight, and he really has no advantage at all when this little thing snatches people, whether it's with his mother or with Jane now.

Thor began to wonder if he had somehow offended the little pink-haired ball of fur. After all, it was hard for Thor to explain why the little pink-haired ball of fur was targeting him in every way, simply because their horoscopes didn't match.

Seeing Thor's expression—a mixture of wanting to cry but also a little stubborn—Doro was practically laughing to death inside.

To be honest, this big golden retriever is really quite amusing!

Yes, although Doro initially gained Frigga's favor simply by going with the flow, things started to take a slightly different turn after Doro discovered the golden retriever's jealousy.

Perhaps inheriting Sherlock's wicked sense of humor, Doro takes bullying the big, dumb blonde guy very seriously.

While Jane, Daisy, and Eric were busy on Earth, Asgard was far from idle, and in fact, it was in far more chaos than the people on Earth.

After settling Frigga in his home, Sherlock returned to Asgard and was immediately stunned by what he saw.

You might not believe it, but Loki has rebelled!

Most importantly, Odin, that old codger, didn't even bother to put on an act anymore, and just watched Loki's rebellion succeed!

Shylock's shock upon learning of this was essentially the same as seeing Zhu Di rebel against Zhu Yuanzhang while Zhu Biao was still alive, and actually succeed in doing so.

What the hell is all this about?

Most importantly, Odin is a truly ruthless old man; he left himself absolutely no way out!

It's important to understand that Loki's "rebellion" succeeded because he used the slogan of "prioritizing the protection of Asgard," which was the exact opposite of Odin's advocacy for a full-scale war against the Dark Elves.

As it turns out, Loki's choice was right. Asgard is now completely unprotected, and the invasion of the Dark Elves has severely injured some of the Asgardian warriors, and even civilians have suffered heavy losses.

Under these circumstances, Loki's priority in protecting Asgard received a response from everyone.

Most importantly, compared to Odin's all-out war launched to seek justice for his personal feelings, Loki's plan to prioritize the protection of the people and, after stabilizing the rear, capture the culprits for trial should obviously be more popular.

It was precisely because of this that Loki was able to successfully complete this Asgardian version of the 'Xuanwu Gate Incident'.

Of course, the main reason for using quotation marks is simply because Loki only seized power and never intended to target Thor, who was 'Li Jiancheng'.

Or to put it more bluntly, Thor's side was actually the 'key' to Loki's power grab!

Chapter 510 Odin Abandoning the Situation

Indeed, the main reason Loki was able to successfully rebel was because he gave Asgard a promise that he would bring back Malekith, the mastermind behind the Dark Elves.

Furthermore, Loki clearly knew that Asgard could not do without Thor, the strongest fighter besides Odin, and that he himself could not replace Thor.

If Thor is the 'Great General' who commands the military might of Asgard, then Loki sees himself as the 'Regent.' Thor oversees military operations, while Loki manages civil administration and public affairs. One is a civil official, the other a military leader, and neither can do without the other.

This is why Odin could comfortably allow Loki to rebel against him.

After such a long period of instruction, Odin believed that Loki was already aware of the situation and would never actually experience the tragedy of fratricide like that at Xuanwu Gate. Only then did Odin feel at ease allowing Loki to successfully rebel.

Even Odin, that old codger, in order to get out of trouble as soon as possible, despite Loki only seizing power and not intending to establish his own kingdom, actually issued a self-reproach edict, first admitting that he was getting senile.

Then, following Loki's plan, he appointed Loki as 'Regent' and Thor as 'General', while he himself, after issuing a self-criticism, sentenced himself to exile.

Then, under Sherlock's watchful eye, Odin, after ascertaining Frigga's whereabouts, used his Spear of Eternity to open a rainbow bridge, jumped in without hesitation, and casually tossed Sherlock a decree of self-reproach, a letter of exile, his weapon Spear of Eternity, and his letter of appointment.

Sherlock was dumbfounded by Odin's actions. He stood alone in Odin's palace, holding the thing Odin had thrown to him, and remained stunned for a long time before he could react.

Sherlock didn't realize what was happening until the guards outside heard the noise and rushed in, led by Loki.

Seeing Loki storm in, Sherlock didn't say a word. He simply shoved the thing Odin had thrown in his arms into Loki's arms, then turned and ran out, covering his ears.

Loki was no longer preoccupied with why Sherlock was in Odin's bedchamber.

After receiving the Spear of Eternity and several documents from Sherlock in a daze, Loki's face was full of existential doubt, especially after seeing the documents left by Odin.

"What the hell?! I was actually outsmarted by my own father?! I swear! Odin, you have no heart! Sherlock, you idiot!!"

Clearly, given Loki's intelligence, if he couldn't figure out the details of what Odin left behind after seeing it, he probably wouldn't deserve to be called the God of Mischief.

Although he knew he had been tricked by his father, and possibly even his mother, Loki was still upset, but he didn't hold a grudge. In fact, he felt a little relieved.

After all, if his guess was correct, his mother might still be alive and well, and that alone was enough to make Loki happy.

As for why he had to put on such a grand show, Loki probably didn't understand before he helped Odin deal with the mess in Asgard, but now, Loki sees it all clearly.

To put it simply, this is the parents' final test for their child, and also Odin and Frigga's final act of support for their child.

Loki, having understood this, sighed helplessly and silently destroyed the edict of self-reproach and the book of exile left by Odin, keeping only Odin's appointments for himself and Thor, before leaving the empty palace with his guards.

After all, Loki, as regent, has many things to deal with, and nothing is more important than stabilizing the situation in Asgard.

As for Sherlock?

How could this scoundrel, who may have been involved in Odin's entire plan, not know what he should be doing? Worrying about this scoundrel is really just being overly anxious.

It must be said that Loki's guess was absolutely right; Sherlock really didn't need Loki's worry.

The instant Sherlock escaped Odin's palace, he activated the Space Stone's power and returned to Earth. And what was the first thing he did upon returning? Needless to say, he went to cause trouble for Odin!

However, to Sherlock's surprise, he found no trace of Odin in his own home.

Although they couldn't find Odin's whereabouts, Sherlock could roughly guess where Odin had gone, but the problem was that Sherlock didn't dare to go!

After all, the only people Odin knew on Earth besides himself and his wife Frigga were that heartless boiled egg.

Sherlock certainly wouldn't go looking for trouble by going to Odin's territory, which was full of black-hearted boiled eggs. After all, if he really went, it was hard to say who would cause trouble for whom.

Furious, Sherlock could only reluctantly use the Space Stone to teleport to London, since he vaguely remembered that this was the place where Thor and Spicy Chicken had their final showdown.
