Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

Most importantly, amidst the orderly sounds of swallowing and spitting, there were also intermittent pleas for mercy, curses, and even screams of fear.

No one, not even General Wang, had ever seen such a bizarre and indescribable scene before them.

Seriously, this can't be explained simply by having a bad personality; it's become something more abstract and even a bit perverse!

Sherlock could almost clearly hear General Wang's broken roar, which had stopped abruptly. After a while, General Wang's panting yet somewhat eager voice came through the walkie-talkie again.

"Okay, Sherlock, I understand. You don't need to worry about the rest. I'll arrange for someone to take care of it. Just keep an eye on the battlefield!"

Oh! Oh, and don't forget the artillery bombardment in 20 minutes—evacuate the hostages as soon as possible!

After saying this, General Wang's voice disappeared completely. No matter how Sherlock called out, there was no response. Sherlock looked at the walkie-talkie in his hand with a puzzled expression for a while before reluctantly turning his attention back to the battlefield.

What Sherlock didn't know was that before General Wang finished speaking to Sherlock, after stopping the manta ray formation that was constantly swallowing human heads, he exchanged a glance with General Petrov, and the two of them almost tacitly had the same idea.

After dealing with Sherlock for a while, General Wang controlled the giant manta ray that had swallowed General Bruce and General Petrov to hide in the command tent. After the meat spit out General Bruce's head, the two of them, with their shameless smiles on their faces, chuckled and said to the bewildered General Bruce.

General Wang: "Brother, it's not that I don't want to release you, it's just that I'm powerless to do it! Petrov can attest to that!"

General Petrov: "That's right, the authority to make people vomit still rests with Sherlock!"

General Bruce: "You two are talking nonsense! You son of a bitch! Do you think I can't hear you? That filthy, smoking thing told you how to release them!"

General Wang: "Yes, I did say that."

General Petrov: "It's just that the way you came out was a bit undignified—you were dragged out! If you're willing, we'll let you out right now! _(ツ)_/"

General Bruce: "(O_o)???"

Chapter 620 The Battle Between the Avengers and Ultron

In the end, General Bruce chose to remain quietly inside the meat-eater's mouth, waiting for Sherlock to return, opting to attack with his head.

As for the reason?

His pride and honor absolutely forbade him to come out from behind! Besides, for an elderly person, the fleshy mouth was actually quite comfortable; he hadn't felt so relaxed in a long time.

Whether General Wang and General Petrov believe this reason is another matter entirely.

Of course, Sherlock was completely unaware of this little incident. After confirming that General Wang would not reply, Sherlock pursed his lips, casually hung the walkie-talkie on his clothes outside his armor, and turned his attention back to the battlefield.

On the battlefield, Sister Hua's team continued to perform steadily and seemed to be getting more and more adept at it.

Although the cannon fodder robots have little combat power, their sheer numbers can cause a qualitative change in combat power. Most importantly, these cannon fodder robots can also evolve.

This put pressure on Sister Hua from beginning to end, but this pressure did not make her feel desperate; it perfectly met Sister Hua's expectations.

Sherlock also noticed something amiss: those cannon fodder robots didn't seem to be endless!

Sherlock hadn't noticed anything amiss when they were surrounded, but now that they'd escaped, he realized something was wrong: not all the cannon fodder robots that had surrounded them were attacking Sister Hua or 'himself'.

A considerable number of people were secretly moving parts from the wreckage at Sister Hua's feet, and some were even repairing their own companions on the spot!

This discovery surprised Sherlock as well; it was clear that Ultron's stockpile of robots was far less impressive than it appeared!

However, it's clear that the Avengers on the other side are unaware of this news.

Similar to Sherlock's side, an endless stream of cannon fodder robots besieged the Avengers guarding the pavilion, although they were far outnumbered by Sherlock's forces.

However, the Avengers had Ultron himself involved throughout, so the pressure on them wasn't necessarily less than that on Sister Hua's side.

Everyone could clearly see that Ultron was stalling for time, but no one could do anything about it, since it changed its body more often than it changed its clothes.

Even while switching bodies, he still had the mind to criticize the Avengers.

"Oh, Captain! Steve Rogers! You're a genius! You actually want to choke a robot naked? Are you trying to cut the wires in my neck?"

"Hey, you speedster over there! I admit you're fast, but your attacks don't seem to have any effect on me! Why don't you stop calling me speedster and start calling me White Turtle? After all, the shell Sherlock made for you is really tough."

"Haha, Eyes and Black Widow, your fighting ability isn't too good either! You're starting to drag the team down. Look, even that blond hammer god is starting to get a little anxious."

"My God! You're such an eyesore! God! Didn't Sherlock ever make you a pair of tear-resistant underwear? You should work part-time on Pornhub, that size would make you a star! Hey you, give those pants back to this big oaf!"

"Hey! You magical girl over there! You see, after you leave me, you're nothing more than a tool for Sherlock to satisfy his perverse pleasures. Even if your 'magic' can indeed have a slight effect on me, it's only a slight one."

Honestly, twin tails really don't suit you! Your bear is too big; you're nothing like the original Frilline!

……

Ultron's mouth was as sweet as honey; he spared almost none of the Avengers present. Apart from Tony and the newly born Vision, everyone else was subjected to Ultron's constant verbal attacks while they were fighting.

So much so that when Sherlock's attention returned to the battlefield, the Avengers were all furious at Ultron's mockery.

Captain America, Hawkeye, Black Widow, and Wanda Nara: "Tony Stark! Look what you've done!"

Hulk: "Hulk hates this robot that looks like a mosquito! And he hates Tony Stark, who created this robot!"

Tony felt quite aggrieved by the complaints from his teammates and himself. During a lull in the fighting, Tony seized the opportunity to launch a swift counterattack.

Tony: "What does this have to do with me? Ultron is derived from Jarvis's database. If there's a problem, you should be looking for Vision!"

Vision: "Please don't say that, Mr. Stark. The contents of your hidden folder are not necessarily much simpler than what Ultron revealed! Besides, the largest amount of data in my database consists of those abstract things you copied from Mr. Sherlock's phone."

I think you should be thankful that my personality didn't turn out like Mr. Sherlock's.

Vision used the Mind Stone on his head to shoot out an energy ray that wiped out a large number of robots that rushed towards him, before he said to Tony with a blank expression.

"Fake!"

Hearing Vision's complaint, Tony cursed irritably. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the countdown on the device in the middle of the pavilion, and his face darkened again.

"Stop joking around, time's almost up. Think of something, or this thing will go to heaven!"

Faced with Tony's roar, everyone's expression was not too good. After Captain America and Black Widow exchanged a glance, they saw a desperate look in each other's eyes before shouting to everyone over the comms.

"Transform!"

Vision: "?"

Quicksilver: "?"

Wanda: "..."

As the captain shouted those three words, two huge question marks appeared above Vision and Quicksilver's heads, while Wanda, who knew what transformation meant, had an unbearable 'embarrassment' on her face.

With a flash of light that appeared and then faded, the alternate world version of the Battle of New York featuring Hawkeye, Captain America, Black Widow, and Tony reappeared. As for why Hulk and Thor didn't transform, the reason is simple: they weren't carrying their transformation devices!

Even so, their combat power increased exponentially after the four transformed, finally giving the Avengers, who had been suppressed in the pavilion, the ability to fight back.

However, Ultron seemed to have anticipated this situation.

"Ha! I thought you'd never have to face the outside world in such a shameful state again! Wanda, Quicksilver, look, these are the teammates you chose. You'd rather follow a bunch of freaks than create a new world with me!"

Even after the Avengers transformed, Ultron still didn't intend to let them go. He continued to mock the Avengers verbally while also trying to undermine their unity.

However, neither Ultron nor the Avengers expected that the moment Ultron finished speaking, a series of explosions followed, accompanied by the whistling sound of cannonballs cutting through the air and deafening explosions.

A wall of fire a hundred meters high instantly enveloped the entire Sokovia. Huge plumes of smoke almost blotted out the sun, and shockwaves came one after another. Everyone could clearly feel that the hundred-meter-high wall of fire was still approaching them!

Chapter 621 The Misjudgment of Ultron

Faced with the massive wall of fire that almost encircled the entire city of Sokovia, and hearing the deafening explosions, the most bewildered person among everyone present was not Wanda and Quicksilver, the two locals, but Ultron.

The metallic, mechanical face was filled with an expression of disbelief, even a hint of incomprehension.

Before Wanda and Quicksilver could say anything, Ultron was the first to break through his defenses, looking at the approaching flames with a trembling voice.

"How is this possible? How is this possible? How could the five permanent members of the UN Security Council dare to openly launch a massacre under the watchful eyes of the entire world?"

When these words, spoken with a mix of murmurs and disbelief, were uttered, all the Avengers present were stunned for a moment, with Wanda and Quicksilver reacting the fastest.

Having experienced war themselves and harboring inexplicable trauma from it, Wanda felt her legs go weak and she collapsed almost instinctively into Quicksilver's arms after hearing Ultron's words.

Black Widow and Hawkeye, who had been watching the two closely, immediately noticed that something was wrong with their emotions. However, before they could speak, a flippant and somewhat playful voice rang out from the very center of the encirclement.

"Surprised? My dear Mr. Ultron!"

As the sound rang out, both Ultron and the Avengers fighting Ultron were startled by the sudden appearance of the sound, and everyone's eyes instinctively turned to look in the direction from which the sound came.

When they saw the figure sitting relaxed on the metal pillar in the center of the pavilion, with his legs crossed and a smug smile on his face, the expressions on the group's faces were truly fascinating.

Captain America and Tony Stark were both incredulous, while Black Widow and Hawkeye looked relieved. Hulk and Thor were confused but took it for granted. Vision was deep in thought, while Wanda and Quicksilver looked on with a hint of hope.

Compared to the Avengers, Ultron on the other side was in a much worse state. He looked like his CPU was about to burn out, staring at Sherlock with disbelief and even a hint of fear.

"Impossible! This is impossible! You should have been dragged away by my mechanical army..."

Ultron roared at the figure with a look of utter deception, even turning back to look at the battlefield where Sherlock was still being besieged, trying to prove that the Sherlock in front of him was just an illusion.

However, Ultron had only just turned around when, with a crisp snap of his fingers, the world in the eyes of both Ultron and the Avengers changed in an instant.

The one being besieged by the mechanical army was no longer Sherlock, but a woman with a sickly glee on her face, covered in blood, holding a long sword, and with her hair disheveled, standing atop a 'mountain' of robot corpses.

Even when the woman noticed Ultron looking over, she still had the energy to wave at him with a delighted expression!

Ultron, witnessing this scene, was like a rooster whose neck had been grabbed; his incredulous roar was abruptly cut off.

Ultron naturally recognized the woman with the delighted expression. She was Unohana, who now lived in Sherlock's house and was only listed in Tony's database as having "superb swordsmanship" and "powerful healing abilities"!

Clearly, the current situation is different from what Tony only briefly mentioned in the data. Most importantly, Ultron really didn't expect that Sherlock would have time and determination to call for reinforcements while surrounded by him!

Putting aside the fact that Sister Hua's combat power is completely different from what was described in the data, the fact that Sherlock was able to summon Sister Hua already exceeded Ultron's expectations.

It's important to understand that in Ultron's theoretical model, Sherlock was actually trying his best to prevent his 'family' from being drawn into the increasingly dangerous war.

For example, the pink-haired dumpling who shone brightly in the Battle of New York, and the killer family who were neighbors and elders.

Judging from the data, after the Battle of New York, Sherlock was 'protecting' them. Apart from some non-dangerous things, Sherlock always tried his best to keep them out of the real battles.

The woman in front of him was someone who lived in Sherlock's house, and Tony's information focused on Sister Flower's healing abilities.

This led Ultron to make a wrong prediction: that Flora was a supportive nanny who focused on logistics and was a 'companion' with a close relationship with Sherlock. Consequently, Flora was categorized as someone who 'would never be brought into the battlefield by Sherlock'.

The current situation clearly confirms that Ultron's judgment was wrong.

Of course, what truly devastated Ultron was not his misjudgment of Sherlock's actions, but rather his misjudgment of Sherlock's abilities.

Near the towering wall of flames, Ultron clearly saw groups of white robots, no bigger than a fist, being licked by the flames, breaking apart, and then being swallowed up by the flames, turning into wreckage.

Ultron recognized those densely packed, fist-sized white robots.

That's Sherlock's alchemical creation, a robot called Mini Baymax!

Clearly, there's only one reason why the five philanthropists outside would dare to launch such a devastating attack: Sherlock had already moved all the 'hostages' without her knowledge!
