Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

Brother Yan slumped in his chair, lamenting how much delicious food he had thrown away so far.

Almost everyone enjoyed the meal. As for Brother Yan'er's barbecue, well, although the barbecue was also quite delicious, it could only be used as food for the next few days.

Don't assume that foreigners don't eat leftovers. In fact, foreigners eat more leftovers than people from other countries, especially those who are used to eating white food.

Therefore, even if Brother Yan'er's barbecue is reduced to leftovers, it is actually much tastier than leftovers in ordinary times.

This can be seen from the joyful eyes of Brother Yan'er's two children.

After a delightful banquet, Sherlock used alchemy to create a permanent bathhouse, allowing everyone to enjoy another relaxing bath before finding a place to sleep at Brother Yan's house.

Sherlock was naturally among them, and because he had mastered alchemy, his resting environment was undoubtedly much better than that of the others.

After all, Sherlock lives in the same kind of carry-on suitcase as Newt!

This thing was originally made by Sherlock to prevent himself from spending the night away from home, but since it had never been of any use before, he had never actually used it.

Of course, this thing isn't without its downsides.

For example, in the middle of the night, Sherlock was sleeping soundly when he suddenly felt a huge shaking that abruptly woke him up from his dream!

Chapter 608 Little Xiba's Tribulation

When the violent shaking pulled Sherlock from his reverie, he even wondered if his alchemy skills were inadequate, causing spatial instability, or if the box had been left unmaintained for too long, leading to some kind of damage.

However, when Sherlock climbed out despite the shaking to check the box, he was quite alarmed.

The reason is simple: his box was supposed to be on the floor of Eye Brother's living room, but when Sherlock climbed out of the box, he saw a cabin made of metal!

If it weren't for the fact that most of the Avengers were inside the plane watching Sherlock crawl out of the box with a bewildered expression, Sherlock would have thought he had time-traveled again.

"No? What's going on?"

Seeing the somber expressions on everyone's faces, Sherlock glanced at the bright 2:36 a.m. time reminder on his phone and felt a bit uneasy.

What's gotten into this group of people in the middle of the night that made them all run out of Brother Yan'er's house?

It can't be that Brother Yan is no longer capable, so Sister-in-law Yan dislikes him and kicks them all out, right?

“We received a plea for help from Dr. Helen Zhao. Ultron attacked Dr. Helen Zhao’s laboratory.”

Seeing Sherlock completely out of it, Black Widow, who was piloting the plane, looked a little grim and spoke to Sherlock through the reflection in the cockpit window.

There was a hint of anxiety in his words that anyone could hear, which only made Sherlock's question mark even more.

Sherlock can understand Ultron attacking Helen Zhao's lab, but why is Black Widow so anxious?

Hey! Could it be that your Black Widow, with her thick eyebrows and big eyes, really has some kind of complicated relationship with Helen Zhao? Damn it, Sherlock sensed something was off back in Little West!

Unfortunately, under such circumstances, no one cared about Sherlock's gossipy thoughts.

Tony and Dr. Banner, almost without any supporting evidence, deduced that Ultron wanted to create a vibranium body.

The good news is that Dr. Helen Zhao's research on the nanotechnology called 'Cradle of Life' is not progressing very quickly, even with Tony's support.

In short, Dr. Helen Zhao is absolutely safe before using nanotechnology to print the body that Ultron wants, and it is foreseeable that this process will be quite lengthy.

This means the Avengers have ample time to reach Little West and rescue Dr. Helen Zhao.

The bad news is that, because of the blame being shifted to the 'Earth Defense Force,' even though the Avengers could instantly reach Little West with Sherlock's Space Stone, they could only obediently fly there by plane.

The reason is quite simple: in the blame-shifting plan, Sherlock's Space Stone is a huge bug.

The five philanthropists are not fools; on the contrary, they possess intelligence and analytical abilities far exceeding those of the rest of the world. Although Sherlock's spatial teleportation is not a secret, it's best not to use it during such a special period.

After all, although the blame was successfully shifted, the five philanthropists would not easily believe the 'blame' that was shifted, and the necessary surveillance was still in full swing.

If, at this point, Sherlock's teleportation were to be used to sow discord between the Five Good People and himself, the already precarious trust between them would likely not end well, even with Rabbit mediating in between.

After all, many things, especially international ones, are truly over once they're over. But if you keep provoking us during this 'over' process, then if we don't deal with you, then we've really wasted our time.

Under these circumstances, Sherlock, with a bitter expression, obediently followed the Avengers in the plane towards Little West Eight. To be honest, Sherlock now felt a bit more empathetic towards Falcon and Rhodes.

This Ultron is no joke; I can't even sleep properly when I want to!

Fortunately, for the Avengers' current aircraft, which utilizes Sherlock's spaceship technology, even a journey across the entire Pacific Ocean from the US to the West Coast is relatively short, and the time it takes is negligible.

With the help of the time difference, the Avengers successfully arrived near Dr. Helen's laboratory in Xiaoxiba just as the sun was about to set.

Ultron wasn't stupid either. Long before the Cradle of Life began printing the vibranium body, Ultron had already left with the Cradle of Life, which looked like a coffin.

Dr. Helen, who was injured, was left in the laboratory by Ultron. When Sherlock rushed in, Dr. Helen was clutching the wound on her stomach and was in so much pain that she was completely pale.

Sherlock briefly reported Dr. Helen's condition over the communicator. Amidst Dr. Helen's terrified gaze, he summoned a meat slug, ignored all of her struggles, and stuffed her into the meat slug's mouth before riding on its back and flying towards the battlefield between the Avengers and Ultron.

Meanwhile, the battlefield between the Avengers and Ultron on the other side was far from peaceful, unlike Sherlock's side.

Aside from Sherlock Holmes, vibranium is one of the strongest materials in the world. Therefore, when the Avengers learned that Ultron planned to create a vibranium body for them, they were determined not to let Ultron have his way.

Thus began a thrilling highway chase between Ultron and the Avengers.

The two sides fought almost from the highway to mid-air, and from mid-air to the railway.

With Captain America and Tony working together, Ultron was almost unable to spare any attention to protect his newly printed body.

It was because Ultron was held back by Captain America and Tony that Black Widow and Hawkeye had the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, stealing the still-warm mechanical body that had just been printed.

More importantly, Wanda and Quicksilver betrayed Ultron at this time, without showing up to stop the Avengers from stealing Ultron's body.

This enraged Ultron, who went so far as to destroy the light rail system on the Xiaoxiba side, causing the entire train to derail and fall off the elevated structure.

Wanda and Quicksilver took on the responsibility of rescuing people, quickly moving ordinary people inside the train and along its path. Ultron, taking advantage of the situation, tricked Tony and Captain America and ran away.

As the derailed and out-of-control train hurtled into the city like a steel dragon, neither the captain nor Tony could look pleased.

Especially when they saw the two siblings, one desperately trying to stop the train and the other frantically trying to save people, their expressions became incredibly complex.

Just as the two were still pondering how to minimize the impact of this incident, a figure wielding a long spear descended from the sky.

Chapter 609 Wanda's Shattered Worldview

For Wanda, ever since she awakened extraordinary powers through the Mind Stone's abilities during Hydra's experiments, she has always believed herself to be the chosen one.

Especially after Hydra conducted research on its red energy and discovered that it could not only affect the mind but also temporarily distort the material world, it gave its power the name of magic.

As the one who controls this power, Wanda is actually quite proud. In fact, not only Wanda, but Quicksilver also has a pride in his abilities that far exceeds that of ordinary people.

Until today.

When that steel behemoth, manufactured by modern industry, charged into the city like an enraged beast, Wanda could only slow it down, even at the cost of her life.

The 'magic' that was once invincible is now almost negligible in the face of the behemoths of modern industrial manufacturing.

Even Quicksilver, who prides himself on his speed, can only run as fast as he can under such absolute physical laws, trying to save the lives of innocent people as much as possible.

They were even willing to wear out their shoes running like this.

Nevertheless, all their efforts were of little use against the enraged steel dragon, almost like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Until that figure descended from the sky.

When the figure wielding a long spear adorned with crimson and gold that resembled a tuning fork descended from the sky and landed directly in the path of the enraged steel dragon, Wanda and Quicksilver were filled with despair.

Neither Wanda's magic nor Quicksilver's speed could save the figure falling from the sky at that distance; they could only watch helplessly as the figure was about to be smashed to pieces by the roaring steel dragon.

However, to their surprise, the tragedy they had anticipated did not occur.

Under the incredulous gazes of the two, the figure that descended from the sky merely pointed the long spear, which looked like a tuning fork, lightly at the train that resembled a giant dragon.

The moment the steel dragon made contact with the strange-looking spear, the steel dragon, which even its own magic was ineffective against, vanished in an instant.

It truly vanished, not in the way of turning to ashes, but as if erased by a god with an eraser, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

This abrupt change left Wanda and Quicksilver completely stunned.

But that wasn't all. After the figure wiped out the steel dragon in an instant, it swung its spear in a circle and then lightly tapped the ground.

In just a moment, in an instant, the entire city seemed to come alive.

The collapsed buildings began to grow back, the deep pits in the ground began to heal, and even the cars that had been smashed into scrap metal by the steel dragon began to gradually recover as if time had reversed.

This scene was unbelievable not only to Wanda and Quicksilver, but also to the group of terrified residents of Little Westba who were watching from the sidelines.

Their behavior was even more exaggerated than Wanda and Quicksilver's; some superstitious older women even knelt down and started kowtowing.

The figure completely ignored the group of middle-aged women kneeling on the ground, muttering prayers. After accomplishing what could only be described as a miracle, the figure casually hoisted the spear onto its shoulder and glanced somewhat flippantly at Captain and Tony, who were far away on the overpass.

"No, I was only away for a short while, and you guys managed to cause such a mess?"

The flippant words, tinged with a hint of complaint, only made the figure descending from the sky seem 'omnipotent,' as if the miraculous event that had just occurred was as easy as swatting a fly for him.

Although they couldn't understand what the figure was saying, the flippant and even indifferent demeanor made the surrounding people respect this god-like figure even more.

It wasn't just older women kneeling and kowtowing anymore; even some older men and young people instinctively knelt down.

This scene appeared even more terrifying to Wanda and Quicksilver, especially to Wanda, whose gaze towards the figure was filled with an unspeakable fear, as if she had seen something indescribable.

The reason is simple: Wanda's 'magic' can only temporarily distort reality at best, but the figure's abilities demonstrate absolute control over the material world!

Wanda could even clearly sense that the material world they depended on for survival was nothing more than a playground, a blank canvas, to this figure in front of her, which could be manipulated however she wanted!

Overwhelmed by immense fear, Wanda and Quicksilver's first instinct was to run, especially when faced with this indescribable figure before them.

However, to the brother and sister's utter surprise, the figure merely gave them a glance, and the two siblings, who had just begun to think of escaping, were instantly frozen in place.

It was as if the person had suddenly been locked inside a concrete pillar, with everything except their thoughts, including the hair on their body, firmly fixed inside.

This bizarre situation filled Wanda and Quicksilver with fear, along with a touch of despair.

It's worth noting that even during the Hydra era, these two siblings might not have felt this way!

But that wasn't all. Seeing that the brother and sister were restrained, the figure snapped his fingers, and the next second, a pair of shackles appeared on Quicksilver's legs, and Wanda's hands were also shackled with the same shackles as Quicksilver's.

The moment these seemingly ordinary shackles appeared on their bodies, the brother and sister's ability to survive, and even their pride in it, vanished almost instantly.

Or to be more precise, it's not that it disappeared, but rather that it was restricted.

The two could clearly feel that the power that had given them extraordinary abilities still existed in their bodies, but even if they tried their hardest, they couldn't mobilize it in the slightest.

Faced with this bizarre situation, the despair in the brother and sister's hearts grew stronger.

As if in response to the despair in the hearts of the brother and sister, the figure gave them a meaningful and slightly malicious smile.

He reached into the somewhat comical-looking white pocket on his stomach and pulled out two enormous one-eyed manta rays!
