Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

A physical internet outage!

Whether it's internet or satellite network connectivity, Sokovia is an isolated island in the virtual world!

There's a saying that goes something like this: When five great philanthropists target one person at the same time, you'll know what it means to be targeted by the whole world.

Ultron is currently in a similar situation.

He naturally discovered that Sokovia's network had been disconnected, turning it into a local area network that could only communicate internally, but Ultron was not concerned about this at the moment.

After all, if his plan succeeds, whether the internet exists or not will be irrelevant to him; if it fails, then so be it, he doesn't care what happens after he dies.

Moreover, after losing his vibranium body to Little West, Ultron had already adopted a somewhat desperate attitude. Especially after witnessing Sherlock's godlike performance, Ultron knew clearly that even if he were to have a vibranium body, he might not be able to defeat Sherlock.

The Sokovia incident is now the best solution Ultron could come up with.

That's right, Ultron was gambling.

I'm betting that Sherlock simply can't control such a massive amount of real matter!

Of course, Sherlock was unaware of these things, and even if he had, it probably wouldn't have mattered, since most of his attention was currently drawn to what he was seeing.

The Avengers' journey from New York to Sokovia in Northern Europe took about ninety minutes, or an hour and a half.

However, in that one and a half hours, the five permanent members of the UN Security Council not only completed a cyber-level encirclement of Sokovia, but also a physical one.

Even as Sherlock stepped out of the plane, the Chinese were still airlifting various weapons and personnel, while the Russians' steel torrent never stopped.

The sky was filled with planes from the US, France, and the UK, which blotted out the sun.

Seeing such a spectacular scene, not only Sherlock, but even the Avengers, Wanda, and Quicksilver were a little dumbfounded.

Especially for Quicksilver and Wanda, the civil war in Sokovia when they were young could not even be called a war in the face of what was happening before them; at most, it was just an armed conflict.

Just as everyone was stunned by the spectacular scene before them, three middle-aged men with stars on their shoulders walked out of a tent not far away.

One was an Asian, one was a Slav, and the other was an Onsa.

When the three of them walked up to the Avengers, the Asian man was the first to speak to them.

"Greetings, Avengers. I am the commander-in-chief of this encirclement operation, the general from the Rabbit side. You can call me General Wang. This is General Brook from the Eagle, and this is General Petrov from the Great Russia."

After General Wang introduced himself to the Avengers, the Avengers were still somewhat taken aback. However, the captain, relying on his soldier's instincts, subconsciously saluted the three generals and was then inexplicably chosen to represent the Avengers.

With the three generals' deliberate cooperation, the Avenger and the three quickly became acquainted. It was only at this point that Sherlock asked a question that he was quite curious about.

"I understand that the US has many military bases and is cooperating with Britain and France to mobilize so much equipment. I also understand that China has strong airlift capabilities. But what about Russia's steel torrent?"

Even the world's largest transport plane couldn't carry many of these, right? Where did this steel torrent come from?

Chapter 614 Blitzkrieg Poland and New Equipment

To Sherlock's utter surprise, the three generals opposite him not only made no attempt to hide anything from him when faced with his curiosity, but even exchanged glances and revealed a strange smile.

Then, they all said in unison a four-word phrase that left Sherlock, or rather the entire Avengers, speechless.

"Blitzkrieg Poland!"

Well, Poland probably never imagined that after being blitzed by Hitler during World War II, and now, so long after the war ended, it would be blitzed again by five great philanthropists.

To be honest, sometimes fate is truly amazing, and the Lancashire meme is something we can't get around.

After learning how the Great Mao's steel torrent had arrived, Sherlock lost interest in the subsequent discussion about the Five Good Men and the Avengers, and instead went to the side to start crafting equipment for everyone.

Or to be more precise, it was about crafting equipment for the brother and sister.

After all, compared to the other Avengers, the siblings' equipment was really poor, and reality isn't like the movies.

In the movie, Quicksilver's copyright issues led to a character known for his speed being killed by a bullet. However, in reality, Sherlock would never allow such a thing to happen again.

Sherlock simply gave Quicksilver a suit styled after The Flash from the Justice League.

The overall design is predominantly silver and gray, with white accents. This not only greatly enhances the defensive capabilities but also ensures that Quicksilver's shoes will never break due to excessive speed.

Quicksilver was quite satisfied with his new equipment, or rather, even if he was not satisfied, he dared not voice any objections. After experiencing Sherlock's methods, Quicksilver had developed a certain psychological aversion to Sherlock.

Compared to Quicksilver, Wanda's equipment was much simpler, and also more complicated.

The reason is simple: Sherlock didn't give Wanda any particularly extravagant equipment; he simply used the Reality Stone in his possession to infuse it with a bit of its power to create a staff the size of a person.

What made Wanda a little uneasy was that the staff looked exactly like the staff of the elf Frilline, the protagonist of the animated series "Friday's Lost Life".

If it were merely a matter of similar appearance, Wanda wouldn't say much, since the power of the Reality Stone and her chaos magic capable of distorting reality are a perfect match.

What Wanda truly couldn't stand was Sherlock's undisguised perverse sense of humor.

Damn it, the moment Wanda picks up the staff, her hairstyle automatically transforms into Frilian's twin tails!

Even more outrageous is that, in addition to being able to use a bit of the Reality Stone's power to enhance his chaos magic, Sherlock also incorporated a powerful technique into the staff in Wanda's hands.

All Wanda needs to do is shout, 'For your man's favorite!' No matter what language she shouts it in, the staff will spray out a sure-hit magic potion without any cost.

And this damn magic potion has only one effect: melting clothes!

Of course, for Ultron, the so-called melting clothes can also be understood as melting armor.

How to describe this skill? You could say it's useful, but it's not that useful, since it can only melt armor at most; but you could also say it's useless, since sometimes destroying armor can make it easier to deal with enemies.

This wave of skills is so simple they're neither good enough to use nor worth discarding.

More importantly, ever since she got the staff, Wanda has had a strange urge to open all sorts of closed boxes, and she always subconsciously wants to open them!

Honestly, this side effect is even more infuriating to Wanda than that skill that Sherlock created—it's tasteless, a pity to throw away, and its usage is extremely embarrassing.

Of course, Wanda did consider asking Sherlock to remove those strange gadgets from her body. She even consulted Captain America and Black Widow, two Avengers who were relatively familiar with her, about it.

However, the responses from Scarlett Johansson and Captain America completely disillusioned Wanda.

After Wanda told Captain America and Black Widow her purpose, Captain America didn't say anything. Instead, he took out the transformation device from the Battle of New York era that he always kept in his waist bag, found a secluded place, and showed Wanda what she looked like after transforming.

Black Widow then decisively showed Wanda her gender-changing device, and the two of them said nothing, yet said everything.

Seeing that after their transformations, one was the absolute king of the Nantong area of ​​P-site, and the other was the absolute leader of the hardcore BDSM community, Wanda fell completely silent, and even felt that the staff in her hand was not bad.

After all, all she had to do was change her hair into pigtails, gain a skill that wasn't very practical and was a bit embarrassing, and have an insignificant quirk.

After thinking it over, Wanda decisively shut her mouth and obediently picked up her staff to familiarize herself with its performance.

Sherlock looked at the scene before him, which he didn't even need to say a word to deceive, and smiled with satisfaction.

Not long after this little incident, Tony brought with him a battle plan to join forces with the Five Good Men.

The Avengers naturally took the lead as the vanguard and main force in the fight against Ultron, while the Five Good Men had a more complicated responsibility.

The evacuation of civilians and the lockdown of the entire Sokovia were entrusted to the five great philanthropists.

Of course, while the tasks undertaken by the Five Good Men are much safer than those of the Avengers, it doesn't mean that the Five Good Men are easy to mess with. On the contrary, compared to the Avengers, the Five Good Men are the safety net for this operation.

Let's put it this way: if Ultron really defeats all the Avengers, including Sherlock, then it's time for the Five Good Men to make their appearance.

Under the overwhelming firepower of the Five Good Men, let alone Ultron lifting the entire Sokovia, even if the area were any larger, the Five Good Men could have flattened it.

The reason for their confidence is simple: the Five Benevolent Men have no limit on the amount of pills they can consume or the types of weapons they can use in this operation.

It's no exaggeration to say that if the five great philanthropists were willing, they could even use nuclear weapons to repeatedly whitewash Sokovia!

In addition, the Avengers were not completely unprepared. Tony also mentioned that he saw Black Egg when he went to fix Hawkeye's tractor. Black Egg promised to use the last hidden power of S.H.I.E.L.D. to help the Avengers with the evacuation of civilians.

After about three hours of discussion, the Avengers swaggered into the battlefield in the Meow Meow Cars provided by the Rabbits.

However, unlike the movie where only the Avengers fought alone, this time it was a global operation to trap and defeat Ultron.

Chapter 615 The Final Battle Begins

Although this event may sound quite exciting or epic when described in words, its actual occurrence is somewhat indescribable and even a bit comical.

Are the Avengers dressed in all sorts of brightly colored clothes riding in a military green Meow Meow van? Not to mention how jarring the contrast is between Tony's tomato and egg-style outfit and the military green of the Meow Meow van.

The sight of this group of oddly shaped, burly creatures crammed into the Meow Meow Car is already enough to make one want to laugh.

More importantly, almost everyone sitting inside the Meow Meow Car had a fierce expression on their face, especially Sherlock, whose facial features were distorted and who would stick his head out of the car to peek every now and then.

Seriously, in both his lives combined, this was the first time Sherlock had ever gotten so carsick from being jostled around in a car.

The Meow Meow Car is indeed very capable; it's amphibious, and there are very few places on Earth that can stop it from moving forward.

However, this does not change the fact that the Meow Meow Car is extremely uncomfortable to ride. After all, this thing has no shock absorption at all, and the damn seat under your butt is so hard that it makes you question your existence.

At this moment, Sherlock truly regretted his foolish decision to refuse General Wang's offer of an off-road vehicle and instead insist on riding in the Meow Meow Car. He also finally understood the meaning behind the indescribable expression on General Wang's face when he made that request.

Damn it, even Sherlock himself wanted to travel back ten minutes and beat up the version of himself who had made that suggestion out of curiosity, let alone anyone else.

The good news is that Sokovia is not a very large country. In fact, there is only one city in the entire country that serves as the population center, and the size of this city is about the same as the urban area of ​​a county-level city in China.

After all, this thing is just a small principality in a hilly area, and a poor place with nothing except timber resources.

The bad news was that from the moment they entered Sokovia, they were either climbing stairs in their Meow Meow cars or on their way up stairs. Not only were they nearly falling apart from the bumpy ride, but most importantly, they didn't see a single person the entire time; the whole city was deserted.

There are only two possibilities for this situation: either the five philanthropists carried out an evacuation during the siege, or the people were controlled by Ultron.

Of course, it is more likely that both situations will occur simultaneously.

However, neither of these scenarios would be good news for the Avengers.

Fortunately, there were some locals in their group. With Wanda's guidance, the Avengers quickly arrived in downtown Sokovia, in a city square that didn't look very big.

The moment the car stopped, the Avengers all jumped out as if they'd seen a ghost, especially Quicksilver and Wanda, whose faces were pale when they got out.

The first thing Quicksilver did after getting out of the car was to find a corner to squat down and vomit violently. Wanda wasn't as bad as Quicksilver, but she wasn't much better, and she kept dry heaving.

Putting everything else aside, Sherlock's impulsive experience with the Meow Meow Car directly halved the fighting power of these two newcomers who were participating in the Avengers' mission for the first time.

Of course, Sherlock wasn't much better.

In contrast to these three, the rest of the people, although their expressions weren't exactly pleasant either, were still much better off than the three of them. After all, the remaining people were either World War II veterans, seasoned secret agents, or aliens, so naturally, there wouldn't be any problems.

What? You mean Tony, Banner, and Vision?

Tony's armor has a shock absorption system that's practically insane, so what could possibly happen to Tony? Not to mention Vision's vibranium suit, the most crucial point is that although it looks like Vision was sitting in the car the whole time, his butt never made any contact with the seat from beginning to end!

Being able to fly is just so carefree!

As for Banner?

Logically speaking, when this guy got off the Meow Meow Car, he should have been shaken so badly that he turned into the Hulk. But what's amazing is that although Banner was also pale, he just held it in!
