Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

When Thor saw his legendary father, Odin, the king of the gods, standing on the Hollywood awards stage in a suit and tie, delivering a passionate speech with a smile Thor had never seen before, Thor's mind went completely blank.

Driven by immense curiosity, Saul even went so far as to watch some of the movies his father had starred in.

However, after Thor watched his father's performance, Thor's mind went completely blank, and he even felt like his worldview was collapsing.

Odin!

My own father!

The greatest king of Asgard!

Is he a deranged cannibal in the movie?

What the hell!

After watching the movie, Thor silently downloaded it, said goodbye to Jane, and went straight to the yard to summon the Rainbow Bridge to Asgard.

Well, he couldn't quite grasp the situation, but that didn't stop Thor from going to Loki to see what the hell was going on!

Chapter 681 Thor: I've discovered a big secret!

Despite being overwhelmed by Asgardian affairs, Loki patiently listened to Thor's rambling tale while watching the movie Thor brought back, despite his frustration.

Ultimately, relying on his innate intelligence, his understanding of Thor, and his own speculations, he managed to piece together the truth of the matter.

The good news is that Loki's guesses about the truth are almost identical to the facts. In fact, aside from some minor details, Loki has essentially perfectly recreated in his mind all the actions Odin took when he exiled him.

The bad news is that Loki's blood pressure spiked instantly after learning the truth. The more he analyzed the truth, the more blushed Loki's face became. By the time Thor noticed, Loki was as red as a boiled shrimp.

But that's not the worst part. The worst part is that after so much training on the 'Throne,' even though Loki is so angry he wants to smash something, he still can't do anything about it.

At the very least, he couldn't show any emotion in his actions. After all, the king was never short of 'spies' around him, and Loki couldn't let his emotions affect his plans for the future of Asgard.

Having barely finished recounting the whole story, and still not quite understanding it, Thor finally noticed that his brother's face was contorting into a ferocious expression, his entire body flushed red like a volcano about to erupt, yet he remained expressionless.

"Loki, are you alright? Are you constipated?"

Out of curiosity about Loki's current situation and concern for his beloved younger brother, Thor asked Loki a question with a hint of probing.

It would have been better if Thor hadn't asked. After Thor asked the question, Loki's already high blood pressure spiked even higher, and the veins on his forehead even started throbbing strangely.

After silently reciting a long rhyme about not getting angry, Loki managed to suppress his emotions. He ignored Thor's questions and temporarily disregarded the information Thor brought back about Odin. Instead, he pulled a stack of documents from his desk drawer and threw them into Thor's arms.

“I understand, but before dealing with these matters, you must first complete the backlog of tasks. The stability of Asgard is paramount.”

Loki said this almost through gritted teeth, but after he finished speaking, he didn't stop. Instead, he stood up and gave Thor a meaningful look.

"Don't cause trouble. Go and complete the mission first. We'll talk about Odin after Asgard is stable. In the meantime, I'll investigate based on the information you provided."

After saying all this, Loki suppressed his irritation, rubbed his face to restore his standard expressionless face, and then opened the door to the room and walked out.

Thor stared blankly at his younger brother, who even seemed somewhat unfamiliar to him. After thinking for a moment, he actually followed Loki's instructions and began to examine the backlog of tasks that resembled a textbook.

Although Thor followed Loki's orders obediently in action, he didn't let Loki off the hook with his words.

"Hmph, what's so great about you? I'm clearly Father's biological child. How come you can imitate Father's appearance so well? Wait, if I remember correctly, isn't Loki a Frost Giant? But he's not a 'giant' at all!"

Moreover, the war between Asgard and the Frost Giants was extremely brutal. Logically speaking, Father would never have been so soft-hearted as to take Loki in. Even if he had, that bastard Loki should never be so similar to Father now!

so……"

After analyzing the situation with his incredibly clever mind, Thor quickly came to a conclusion that shocked him.

"So, the war between Asgard and the Frost Giants was because my father cuckolded the Frost Giant King? Loki is actually my half-brother?"

Holy crap!

Thor looked as if he had discovered a great secret, glancing with heartache in the direction Loki had just left, and silently decided to take this secret to his grave and never tell anyone.

After all, Loki's background is rather tragic, a child disliked by both sides.

Of course, the "world-shaking secret" that the "brilliant" Thor deduced was unknown to Loki, Odin, and even Thor's own mother, Frigga.

But strangely, at the same time that Thor came to this conclusion, all three of them sneezed at the same time.

Odin and Frigga probably didn't care, but Loki fell into a deep silence after sneezing.

Surely a frost giant couldn't just have a cold, could he?

Confused, Loki scratched his head and decided to temporarily abandon pondering this bizarre idea and deal with those greedy fellows first.

However, thanks to that sneeze, Loki seemed to remember something. Before pushing open the door to the conference room filled with calculations and interests, Loki conveyed an order to Heimdall, who was in charge of guarding Asgard, through his confidant.

Heimdall had just sent Thor off across the Rainbow Bridge, who was eager to complete his mission, when Loki's secret orders were delivered to him.

Looking at the order Loki gave, Heimdall rubbed his eyes hard, even wondering if he had seen it wrong or if Loki had finally been driven mad by those greedy maggots.

Is this some kind of order that a human could come up with?

What the hell do you mean by getting him a connected mobile phone or computer from Earth?

Heimdall could understand things like cell phones and computers; he could just take his gold to Earth and buy them himself. Even if he couldn't buy them, Heimdall wouldn't mind learning from his successor and stealing one directly using the Bifrost.

But is it connected to the internet?

Is Loki planning to have me build base stations all the way from Earth to Asgard, or does he want the Rainbow Bridge to remain on Earth and use it to connect to Asgard with an unknown amount of internet cable?

Putting aside whether these two plans are feasible, even if they are technically feasible, Heimdall simply cannot imagine which country's operator on Earth would be so stupid as to accept this 'interstellar' contract.

Or rather, even if some idiot did take on the project, Heimdall couldn't imagine what the price of the network cable would be after the project was completed.

A network cable whose length is measured in light-years?

Isn't this pure bullshit?

After a frantic brainstorming session, Heimdall finally completed the order given by Loki according to his own understanding.

However, when Loki opened the package Heimdall had sent, he froze on the spot. The damn package contained nothing he wanted; all that was inside were various adult 'stress-relieving toys' and a large bag of Japanese, Korean, and Western DVDs.

A note was also included as a bonus.

"Take some rest, don't suppress your emotions too much? Just let it all out, huh?"

Loki was quite upset after reading the contents of the note aloud; Heimdall seemed to have misunderstood something...

Chapter 682 The Gears of Fate Begin to Turn

While Asgard, due to various misunderstandings, began its mad dash in a bizarre direction, on the other side of Earth, Sherlock, wearing a mask, sat listlessly in the director's chair like a puppet.

Before Sherlock was a production crew that Odin had assembled at the speed of light. Most importantly, Odin had made the most of everything, even giving Sherlock the title of producer.

The movie had only just started filming when headlines like "Shocking! Avengers are making a movie" or "The strongest Avengers in history are making their first movie, is it due to funding or moral reasons?" were already running high.

Indeed, Odin's propaganda skills are truly remarkable, even somewhat incomprehensible to Sherlock. How could a ruthless king be so adept at propaganda?

Not only did they use Sherlock's name to secure film sponsorship, but they also used Sherlock's alchemist persona to generate early publicity for the film.

More importantly, after seeing the headline on the front page of the US entertainment section, most of the Avengers who had free time came to 'watch' this movie produced by Sherlock.

Well, it's more accurate to call it mockery than observation.

Especially that bastard Tony, who not only specially wore his armor and flew across the entire United States to see Sherlock make a fool of himself, but also landed directly on the set to mock Sherlock relentlessly.

Sherlock didn't stand on ceremony and immediately revealed Odin's identity to Tony.

To be honest, Tony is incredibly cheeky when he's with his friends and peers, even resembling the lawless Gojo Satoru from his high school days. But when Tony learned Odin's identity, he was completely stunned.

The awkwardness of accidentally seeing his companion's father and then mocking him in front of him made Tony feel utterly ashamed on set. Almost instantly, he switched roles with Sherlock, and it became Sherlock's turn to mock Tony.

Fortunately, Odin didn't mind Tony's behavior. Having been on Earth for so long, Odin had come to understand the personality of his goofy son's teammate to some extent, and knew that Tony was just being sarcastic and teasing Sherlock, and didn't mean any harm.

Seeing Tony's embarrassed expression, almost digging Hogwarts out of the ground with his feet, Odin generously refrained from criticizing Tony's mockery. Instead, he enthusiastically pulled Tony into playing a role.

Perhaps it was because of Tony's cameo role, but Sherlock, watching Tony's performance, felt that Odin might have unlocked some unusual interest in Tony.

After finishing his cameo role, Tony left a sponsorship and excitedly climbed into his armor and left.

The next day, Sherlock's premonition came true. In addition to Odin's debut work, which had gained tremendous attention due to his own efforts, the entertainment section's front page also featured the news of the "Stark Entertainment Group's Establishment."

Looking at the trending topics on his phone, Sherlock's lips twitched non-stop. He even felt that Tony's dabbling company would most likely end up being similar to his own Pornhub.

There's no need to turn this entertainment company into a platform like Pornhub; Tony could simply use his company to publish the story of his collection of Playboy cover girls over the past 12 months.

Fortunately, Tony didn't intend to develop the film in an adult direction, and that afternoon he announced Stark Industries' first major foray into the entertainment industry.

Captain America!

Starring: Steve Rogers!

When Sherlock saw this news, he was completely dumbfounded. Did Tony have some kind of leverage over Captain America? Otherwise, it would be hard to explain how Captain America agreed to make the movie with Tony.

After making a round of calls to the Avengers, Sherlock hung up the phone, speechless.

I'm sure Tony has something on Captain America, otherwise why would that old fogey Captain America agree to let Tony make a movie during his rest time?

Grandma!

What? You're asking what exactly Tony has got against Captain America?

Sherlock was curious too! But unfortunately, apart from Captain America and Tony, no one knew what kind of leverage Tony had over Captain America. All they knew was that when Captain America came out of Tony's office, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Tony, on the other hand, was beaming with joy, and he was grinning like a little fox who had just pulled off a prank.

Black Widow and the Avengers have already begun gathering intelligence on what exactly Tony has incriminating evidence against Captain America. It's estimated that it won't be long before that information about Captain America in Tony's possession is made public.

Sherlock was naturally curious, but this time he was extremely patient, simply waiting to see what the other side would say, since he was in LA and quite far from those bastards in New York.

After spending three quiet days on set, Sherlock had lost all interest in the so-called film crew, except for using his power as a producer to get Anna into the lead role.

It's no exaggeration to say that in Sherlock's eyes, a film crew has become no different from a construction site. The only difference is that a construction site requires mortar, while a film crew needs to repeat the same thing over and over again. Other than that, there's probably no difference.

After the initial burst of enthusiasm, Sherlock practically became a couch potato on set, his greatest pleasure being lying in the RV with the air conditioning on and playing on his phone.

What? You're asking why Sherlock doesn't go back if he's so bored?

Just kidding! It's perfectly legal and reasonable to slack off; anyone who leaves is an idiot! Anyway, Sherlock, the number one lazy bum, doesn't want to leave at all!

However, after playing on his phone for two days, a message or news item that popped up on his phone successfully caught Sherlock's attention.

'Stephen Strange, the youngest neurosurgeon at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, was involved in a serious car accident and is currently in critical condition!'

When Sherlock saw the news, he was genuinely stunned, even wondering if the plot had reached this point. Of course, he was mostly just complaining about the hopeless system of the United States.
