Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

He didn't kill many people. In Congress, Sherlock only focused on killing two people: one who came up with the idea and the other who carried it out.

After openly and publicly dealing with the two men in the Capitol, Sherlock didn't even offer an explanation before simply walking away.

Most importantly, Japan's self-righteous family power and financial authority pale in comparison to Sherlock's pure violence.

After two consecutive times, the Japanese group was even more obedient than grandsons. Even though they were cursing Sherlock to death in their hearts, they still had to smile and fulfill all of Sherlock's requests.

Of course, compared to Sherlock's inhuman behavior, the Hat Uncle sent by the official Rabbit team was undoubtedly quite restrained.

At least compared to Sherlock, the hat-wearing uncles are still human.

Of course, from another perspective, the reason for this situation is that Sherlock took care of all the dirty and hard work, which naturally made them seem quite restrained, and even normal compared to Sherlock.

Anyway, a full two weeks passed, and when Sherlock left, not only were the little ones moved to tears, but countless people also came to see him off.

The reason why Xiao Rizi didn't tamper with the plane back is quite simple: Sherlock and his group came on a commercial flight, but they were on a transport plane on their way back!

Furthermore, since Sherlock had stripped her of her underwear, Xiao Ri wouldn't have the guts to do anything to Sherlock even if she really wanted to.

Aside from the period when Sherlock went to Japan and did whatever he wanted, the entire Hydra purge plan proceeded quite smoothly.

Most of the funds, data, and technology in the entire chain of interests were uprooted and divided up by the five philanthropists, leaving nothing behind. At most, they only provided symbolic compensation or some subsidies or aid to the local area.

Putting aside the absurd scenes on Sherlock's side, the progress in other areas was quite smooth. The five good guys and the Avengers uncovered a deeply hidden chain of Hydra involving materials, money laundering, and technology transfer.

It wasn't until this point that Sherlock realized something was amiss. Good heavens, Hydra wasn't stupid; their global network of interests had somehow managed to pull India out of the picture. It just goes to show how bad India's reputation was…

The good news is that losing the support of this chain is equivalent to cutting off Hydra's body. Even if Hydra could actually cut off one head and grow another, without the support of its body, Hydra would only become a scattered force from then on.

With the combined efforts of the five philanthropists and the avengers, the end of this chain of interests is gradually becoming clear.

Whether it's the Americas, Asia, Africa, or Australia, the ultimate chain of interests points towards Europe.

And with the captain and the Russian side making continuous efforts, they finally locked onto the Eastern European region.

This also reminded Sherlock of Sokovia, a small, landlocked country in Eastern Europe that had been neglected for a long time!

This is a small Eastern European country bordering the Czech Republic and Slovakia. It is predominantly mountainous and quite barren, which happens to be the soil that Hydra loves most!

After identifying the possible targets, Sherlock realized what was going on and quickly initiated an online meeting of the Avengers, pointing out a simpler and more convenient path.

Instead of tracking those companies, businesses, and funds, go to Hydra's database and look for Loki's scepter that was taken by S.H.I.E.L.D. during the Battle of New York!

With Sherlock's reminder, the location of the Hydra at the top of the pyramid, which had not yet been exposed, was directly revealed by Sherlock.

And the moment the Avengers found the Hydra base in Sokovia by following Loki's scepter, they realized one thing: they absolutely had to take Loki's scepter away before the five good guys!

Chapter 571 The Great Substitute Operation

Aside from the rabbit, Loki's scepter inlaid with the Mind Stone would become a disaster in the hands of any of the other four good men.

Leaving aside the enormous energy contained within the Infinity Stones, the scepter's ability to manipulate people's hearts alone is enough to cause disaster, since the other four virtuous men don't inherently possess the rabbit's moral code of Heaven, Earth, Ruler, Parents, and Teacher.

Hawkeye is extremely qualified to speak on this point!

After discovering Loki's scepter—a huge oversight that no one had anticipated throughout the entire operation—the Avengers realized they had to take action.

After some discussion, only two options were ultimately chosen. One was the captain's suggestion to remain still and steal Loki's scepter silently during the operation, just like Hydra had done when they were hiding in S.H.I.E.L.D.

However, Sherlock rejected this idea outright. After all, it would be easy to secretly take the scepter, but Sherlock absolutely did not believe that Hydra had not conducted research on the scepter inlaid with the Mind Stone. The massive amount of research data inside it could not be faked.

Moreover, with the five philanthropists already taking such a grand and ambitious action, it's impossible for them not to be tempted by this enormous pie at the very top of the profit chain.

It's important to understand that the entire action plan doesn't include any action plan targeting the top of this profit chain, which means that how much profit one can gain here depends entirely on their own abilities.

Therefore, this final battle is destined to be a chaotic melee involving the five great philanthropists, or at the very least, a chaotic melee between the three highest officials.

In such a chaotic situation, attempting to simultaneously destroy research materials, silence those in the know, and then quietly take away the scepter would be an impossible task.

After Sherlock rejected the proposal, the Avengers were left with only Sherlock's proposal.

Sherlock's suggestion was simple: the Avengers would withdraw from the final battle on the eve of it, only providing logistical support, while secretly using other identities to storm the base and steal the scepter.

The advantage of doing this is that there is no way to prove the case after the fact, and most importantly, it is highly feasible.

Although everyone in the Avengers except Thor instinctively rejected Sherlock's proposal, they had no better option at the moment and could only reluctantly agree.

The Avengers' withdrawal from the final battle faced virtually no resistance, and even the three permanent members of the UN Security Council—China, the United States, and Russia—were happy to see it happen.

Most importantly, although the Avengers nominally withdrew from the final battle, they did not directly offend all five major heroes. Falcon and Rhodes were left behind to assist the two leaders in continuing their operations, and even Banner was assigned to assist with intelligence processing, which can be considered as giving the five major heroes enough face.

The other Avengers, after exchanging greetings, successfully gathered at Avengers Tower in New York and temporarily settled in Sherlock's neighborhood.

The reason for this is quite simple: the five great philanthropists would never want the Avengers to cause trouble after they have withdrawn, especially the black-hearted maggots in the United States. Therefore, they would definitely send people to monitor the Avengers.

The Avengers, or rather Sherlock, had already considered this and had arranged doubles for all the personnel involved.

Black Widow is the simplest replacement; all you need to do is find a Black Widow with a similar figure, and then have Sherlock use alchemy to make minor adjustments to perfectly replace her. Tony's replacement is also a Black Widow, and compared to Black Widow, having Black Widow as Tony's stand-in is pure enjoyment.

As for the captain, Zhao Weike temporarily became the captain's stand-in. Both of them were strong in close combat. Without using that damned shield, Sherlock only needed to slightly adjust Zhao Weike's appearance and add a few strength pills that could temporarily enhance physical abilities to easily solve all the problems.

The real challenge was replacing Sherlock and Thor. Both were extraordinary individuals, and it would be extremely difficult for an ordinary person to be their double. So, after much deliberation, Sherlock decided to have Flora become his double.

There's no other reason than that her combat power is strong enough to fool the group of people monitoring her. Besides, Sherlock is a bit of a homebody, so Sister Hua can perfectly replace him.

Thor's Stand was the only one that was relatively difficult to deal with, but it was taken care of by an unexpected person.

doro!

Just as Sherlock was struggling with how to find a replacement for Thor, and even began to consider whether to have Odin temporarily replace Thor, Doro stepped forward.

And in front of everyone, he took out a pill from his four-dimensional pocket and stared at Thor as he ate it.

Then, to everyone's disbelief, the originally cute Doro turned into a chibi version of Thor?

Looking at the incredibly detailed yet adorable chibi version of Thor, all the Avengers were trying hard to suppress their laughter. After all, while Doro could imitate Thor, this version was just too cute, completely different from the burly, rough-and-tumble Thor himself.

Just as Black Widow was overflowing with compassion and about to comfort Doro and 'thank' him for wanting to share their burdens, the adorable chibi version of Thor, who was Doro in disguise, suddenly began to transform.

The entire figure rapidly grew taller and wider, transforming from a chibi version to a realistic version in less than a breath. Most importantly, when the Doro version of Thor pulled the Mjolnir made by Sherlock from his four-dimensional pocket, even Thor himself couldn't find any flaws.

In the end, Doro took over the role of Thor's Stand in an unbelievable way. After watching Doro swing his Mjolnir and fly directly towards the address given by Thor, Sherlock felt a strange sense of melancholy.

Seriously, Sherlock is tired of saying the word "envy".

Of course, what Sherlock didn't know was that the person who was happiest about this was actually Jane!

God knows how happy Jane was when she found out it wasn't Thor who had returned, but Doro. The most important thing was that she could enjoy chibi versions of Thor and Doro, as well as larger versions of Doro and Thor.

Especially when sleeping at night, if you're not scared, it's a soft, chibi version of Doro or Thor; if you are scared, it's a larger version of Doro or Thor. Jane felt like she had won big this time, and was even a little too happy to leave.

(Those who think of such things should go stand in the corner and reflect on their actions!)

What? Why haven't you mentioned finding someone to replace Hawkeye yet?

Stop talking nonsense. My brother Yan'er's disappearances are the norm, okay? If he really had a body double, then Yan'er would be exposed!

Chapter 572 The Avengers' New Clothes

Unlike the full-scale mobilization against the Hydra base in the movie, this time Dr. Banner was excluded from the action team because he could not go into action as an Avenger. After all, the Hulk that Dr. Banner transformed into is currently in an uncontrollable state, and joining the action team would pose too high a risk of exposure.

Moreover, a brain was needed at headquarters to help Falcon and Rhodes delay the five good men from discovering Sokovia's laboratory. Therefore, the only people involved in the operation were Tony, Black Widow, Captain America, Thor, and Sherlock.

After arranging the doubles, the group pulled off a switcheroo right under the noses of the surveillance team and successfully escaped, arriving at the 'basement' that Sherlock had arranged for Sister Hua.

Dr. Banner, Falcon, and Rhodes could only buy the group about three days for their operation. Beyond three days, the five benefactors would definitely become suspicious, so they had to complete their identity transformation within those three days.

As for what identity to use to raid that damned laboratory, Sherlock had already made a plan.

Sherlock had already used the so-called 'Earth Defense Corps' disguise once when Thor first came to Earth. The most important thing was that S.H.I.E.L.D. investigated this disguise for a long time but found nothing. Now it's perfect to use it directly.

Even though the identity of 'Kizaru' has been taken over by the yellow cotton in the club, Sherlock always manages to come up with something new at times like these.

Of course, everyone in the Avengers was quite upset about Sherlock's new life.

Tony's armor was completely modified by Sherlock into a Gundam, specifically the Strike Freedom version. To make matters worse, Sherlock went so far as to equip Tony with the original Gundam's energy gun, shield, and laser sword.

This wave of changes not only transformed the Steel Armor, which was primarily designed for fully automatic firepower output, into a semi-automatic one, but also turned it into a melee-enhanced armor.

Most importantly, Tony really couldn't stand this Japanese-style mecha. After Sherlock finished modifying it, while getting familiar with his new equipment, he kept complaining about how unreasonable the mechanical design of this thing was.

Compared to Thor, Tony is actually better off; at least Tony can wear armor. On Thor's side, Sherlock simply threw Thor a fur-lined triangular basket and ended the fight instantly.

The only thing that made Thor happy was that Meowth Hammer had unlocked a new form once again.

Power Sword Form!

After Thor changed into civilian clothes, everyone except the captain, who was completely clueless, laughed. The reason was simple: it was a childhood memory for almost everyone present.

He-Man from He-Man: Masters of the Universe!

What? You don't know? You should know the slogan 'Give me power,' right? If you still don't know, then you should know his sister, She-Ra, the one in the white skirt and red cape, right?

Of course, Thor himself is quite satisfied with this outfit. In Thor's words, it satisfies his desire to use a sword and also shows off his physique!

If there was anything Saul was dissatisfied with, it was that he was quite unhappy with his triangular fur basket and had always wanted Sherlock to turn it into a four-cornered one, but Sherlock had ruthlessly refused.

Fortunately, things could only get worse. After Sherlock finished disguising the captain, Thor immediately shut his mouth.

As for the reason? It's simple, because the captain's mother couldn't even keep her gender!

Seeing Captain America enter with a shield and sword, sporting a face reminiscent of Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman from the DC Comics crew, everyone was starting to lose their composure.

The one who couldn't hold back the most was the captain. From the moment he came out, the captain had been clutching the edge of his skirt armor, making a final struggle against Sherlock.

"Sherlock, can't you just change it into trousers or make the skirt a little longer?"

Faced with the captain's request, Thor and Tony, who had already completed their disguises, didn't even ask Sherlock to speak. They simply grabbed the captain from either side and left, all the while frantically trying to persuade him.

"We must respect the original work! You look exactly like Wonder Woman from the comics!"

“That’s right, it reminds me of the Valkyries of Asgard!”

……

Watching the captain being forcibly dragged away by the two men, Black Widow subconsciously swallowed and looked in Sherlock's direction with some worry. After all, the captain hadn't even managed to keep his gender, so it was hard to say how Sherlock would torment her.

Surprisingly, after Black Widow and Hawkeye were transformed by Sherlock's alchemy, Black Widow herself was quite satisfied with her new look.

Although Black Widow, like Captain America, couldn't retain her gender, Sherlock Holmes still gave her the role of Batman.
