Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

Peggy Carter, one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., Captain America's ideal woman, had no children and dedicated almost her entire life to fighting Hydra.

That's why so many people came to Carter's funeral, many of them spontaneously coming to pay their respects to this respected old man.

The enormous church was packed with people, and the Avengers, all dressed in black suits, sitting on the benches, were hardly noticeable.

No, to be more precise, apart from the captain, the others were not so conspicuous, while the captain himself was like a bright pearl in the night, attracting special attention in this church.

It wasn't because the captain did anything wrong or was dressed inappropriately; it was simply because after sitting in the church and seeing Carter lying in the coffin, the captain felt an overwhelming sadness and alienation.

How to describe that feeling? It's like a small boat lost in a vast ocean, unable to find its way home after losing its lighthouse.

They live a fulfilling life in the real world, but they give off a feeling of being detached from it.

Sherlock sighed inwardly as he looked at his captain. Others might not understand the captain's feelings, but Sherlock did.

Just like Sherlock's feeling of unfamiliarity and alienation from the world when he first traveled through time, Sherlock completely understood the captain's current feelings.

In a strict sense, Captain America could also be considered a time traveler, except that Captain America traveled through time while Sherlock traveled to a different world.

However, compared to the captain, Sherlock was luckier. At the beginning of his transmigration, he not only had Doro as an anchor point, but also the Zhao Weike family as a beacon, which allowed Sherlock's lonely and fearful soul to find a place to belong.

After Captain America traveled through time, the people he once knew became his anchor and guiding light. Peggy Carter's departure essentially deprived Captain America of his anchor and guiding light in this world.

Watching the captain's lonely figure, Sherlock sighed silently. Only the captain could get through this on his own; no one could help him, at least not at this moment.

After staring at the captain's back for a while, Sherlock ran to find Tony, wanting to know why Tony and the captain had come to see him earlier.

Tony didn't hide anything from Sherlock and explained the so-called 'Degeneration Plan' to him in its entirety. Before Sherlock could reply, Kata's funeral had already begun on the other side.

The group could only temporarily put aside their own thoughts and prioritize commemorating the deceased.

It's quite a coincidence that none of the Avengers expected that Peggy Carter would have a niece. More importantly, it's unknown whether this niece grew up listening to Peggy Carter's stories about Captain America.

When he went on stage to give his speech, he kept staring at the team leader sitting in the front row, even though the team leader himself did not notice.

The fact that the captain didn't notice doesn't mean the other Avengers didn't. However, the Avengers couldn't say anything about it, since she was the niece of their beloved, and it was somewhat immoral, not to mention the generational difference.

After exchanging glances, the Avengers decided to let things take their course.

On the contrary, Sherlock's attention was not on these gossips at all. From the beginning of the funeral, Sherlock's attention was on the other people in the church. He even paid special attention when the captain got up and carried Carter's coffin toward the cemetery.

Strangely, Sherlock did not find the older version of Captain America in the crowd, nor did he spot him outside the funeral parlor.

There are only two possibilities in this situation: either the captain didn't go back, or the older version of the captain didn't come.

However, Sherlock still leans towards the idea that the captain didn't go back. After all, given the captain's feelings for Carter, it's impossible that he wouldn't come to see Carter off on his final journey. But if the captain didn't go back, then things would become much more interesting.

Before confirming this, Sherlock felt he should be more concerned about the captain's mental state; the old popsicle looked like he was about to break!

In fact, the captain's current mental state is not exactly beautiful. The greed of those black-hearted maggots has made the captain completely disappointed with the top leadership and the organization. Even the abstract things that Sherlock explained when he first traveled through time have made the captain unable to feel any affection for this American decades in the future.

Now, besides his teammates in the Avengers, the only person Captain America can trust is Peggy Carter. Unfortunately, Peggy Carter is now lying in that crater and will never wake up again.

If it weren't for the captain's unwavering sense of responsibility that kept this veteran fighting, he might have applied for retirement after attending the funeral.

Who knows, Black Widow's father, that Red Guardian, might just be the final form of Captain America, who has lost all hope.

As the captain's friend, Sherlock naturally didn't want to watch his captain truly fall into depravity, and a bold idea popped into Sherlock's mind.

After completing Carter's funeral, Sherlock used a portal to bring the Avengers home and immediately expressed his thoughts.

"I know about your depraved plans. Now that you've come to me, my dear friends, are you up for a big gamble?"

Faced with Sherlock's words as he stood in the living room, the group who had just attended Carter's funeral exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of what to say.

The captain was completely preoccupied with these matters at the moment, while Tony looked like he knew it and had a headache.

Seeing that the captain was still immersed in his emotions, Tony rubbed his temples with a headache and stepped forward to speak to Sherlock.

"Tell me first what you mean by 'playing big.'"

When Tony asked Sherlock, his smile became even more blatant. He pointed a finger at Tony and then at himself before explaining.

"It's simple. Since it's all acting anyway, why not go big? I'll control the Justice League all by myself, and the Avengers will be my opponents. I've played too many hero roles. Occasionally, I'd like to play a villain."

Faced with Sherlock's words, even the captain, who didn't want to get involved in this mess, couldn't help but frown. After exchanging glances with the others, he reluctantly stepped forward.

"Okay, Sherlock, but you must ensure the plan goes smoothly while minimizing combat damage and avoiding harming innocent bystanders."

"That's right, and you absolutely cannot reveal your true identity! In other words, you can only use the Justice League's identity and abilities!"

After the captain finished speaking, Tony quickly added something.

"make a deal!"

Sherlock agreed to their conditions almost without hesitation, his face beaming with excitement.

Chapter 715 Is this the world seen through the eyes of the Rinnegan?

Despite their considerable skepticism about Sherlock's quick agreement to all their demands, the Avengers, under pressure, acted swiftly despite their headaches.

Almost the next morning, he sent Sherlock all the intelligence about the Justice League, as well as various briefings about the Blackheart Maggots and Hydra, and also sent over the helmet that controls the Justice League.

Sherlock didn't stand on ceremony. After quickly glancing at the intelligence to get a general idea of ​​the situation, he immediately used alchemy to create five sets of high-necked black coats with auspicious cloud patterns and had them delivered to the Justice League's Vought International headquarters.

While running errands, Sherlock also made some simple modifications to the helmet that controlled the Justice League. Afterwards, he happily carried the five-in-one helmet back to his comfortable bedroom.

After locking the door, putting on his helmet, and comfortably lying in his soft bed, Sherlock's consciousness gradually sank into darkness. After being bathed in a colorful teleportation channel that looked like a game login screen, the scene before him gradually became clear.

Sherlock chose to control none other than Cyborg, a member of the Justice League whose skills are all quite average.

Aside from Cyborg's robot-like appearance, which makes it convenient for Sherlock to cheat using alchemy, the more important reason is that Sherlock needs Cyborg's absolute control over the cyber world.

However, it must be said that when Sherlock regained consciousness, he inevitably felt dizzy at first glance.

The feeling was strange. I could see my four other bodies with my eyes and even control them seamlessly. But because of their appearance, body shape, and even gender, it gave people a very strange feeling.

How to put it? It's like having a split personality, but not a complete split. After all, a split personality is when multiple consciousnesses control one 'Gundam', but Sherlock is the opposite, with one consciousness controlling five Gundams.

Most importantly, because of a single consciousness, these five bodies are able to remain completely independent of each other, yet their synchronization rate can instantly reach 100%.

Even if the captain himself were there, any normal person would probably go insane if they dared to play like that for a long time. It's only because Sherlock has the Seven Deadly Sins to support him that he dares to do such outrageous things.

After the initial dizzying discomfort, Sherlock quickly became immersed in the wonderful feeling of having five bodies. Even after the Akatsuki uniforms he had made with alchemy that morning were delivered by the errand boy, Sherlock, in a very chuunibyou-ish way, had everyone change into them to experience the feeling of Pain.

In other words, the top floor of Vought International is a place exclusively for the Justice League five, and it is off-limits to anyone else or monitoring them.

Seeing Batman, Cyborg, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, and The Flash dressed in ridiculously chuunibyou outfits, standing together in an extremely chuunibyou-esque pose and shouting things like "How many floors do you have to carry a bag of rice up? How many floors do you have to carry a bag of rice up?" or "Is this the world as seen through the Rinnegan?" would make you think these five people are out of their minds.

Of course, Sherlock was just indulging his delusional and childish fun. After playing for a while, he decisively threw away the Akatsuki uniform and sat down in front of the computer, controlling Cyborg.

Using Cyborg's mastery of the virtual world, Sherlock manipulated Cyborg to connect to the computer and enter Vought International's internal network, where he began his outrageous antics.

First, they checked the assets of Vought International. What they found shocked Sherlock. During this time, the Avengers, under the guise of the Justice League, had indeed reaped a lot of benefits and resources from Hydra and those black-hearted maggots.

Sherlock showed absolutely no mercy to these people, frantically using Steelbone's computing power to transfer Vought's assets, laundering what needed to be laundered, buying what needed to be bought, and transferring what needed to be transferred.

After turning Vought International into an empty shell, Sherlock then hacked into the United Nations' database and began his operations based on known information about Hydra.

Ever since Captain America learned that his best friend Bucky was still alive, he had been secretly searching for Bucky after destroying H.I.E.L.D., but he still couldn't find any news of Bucky even after destroying Hydra's body.

At Carter's funeral, seeing the captain's heartbroken expression, Sherlock decided to lend a hand. So what if he didn't have an anchor point? Just find Bucky back, and that'll solve everything.

Of course, this couldn't be told to Captain America and Tony, since the two of them had a complicated attitude towards Bucky. Tony still felt extremely disgusted by Bucky, the knife that killed his parents.

Meanwhile, the captain was torn between his feelings for Bucky, his best friend, and his loathing of Bucky's identity as the Hydra 'Winter Soldier'.

So it's not that Bucky can't come back, but that he can only come back as a 'prisoner'.

This UN General Assembly meeting is undoubtedly the best opportunity. According to the intelligence Sherlock currently has, Hydra will take action against the old king of Wakanda at this meeting.

And if they dare to make a move, Sherlock only needs to tamper with the surveillance video, and Mr. Bucky, who already has the identity of Hydra, will be as good as mud falling into his pants, turning something that isn't shit into shit.

Most importantly, given Cyborg's methods, adding a tiny bit of 'false evidence' to the existing evidence that Hydra was behind it would be no difficult task at all.

As for Hydra's attack on the old king of Wakanda?

Sorry, that's the Avengers' business. What does it have to do with my Justice League? Do you really think those black-hearted maggots in the US would care about a 'poor' or 'backward' country in the Third World?

Forget about it, it's absolutely impossible!

After leaving various backdoors and evidence in the UN system in advance, Sherlock decisively began to arrange the mission.

Batman and Wonder Woman went to the UN General Assembly at the request of those scoundrels to become internal security personnel replacing the Avengers, and incidentally distanced themselves from the Hydra attack and the Justice League.

Meanwhile, Aquaman, The Flash, and Cyborg immediately set off for Washington. When Hydra attacked Wakanda at the UN General Assembly, the Justice League would simultaneously take action against those heartless maggots.

And the goal is quite clear: on the one hand, it targets Chili Pepper's various political enemies, and on the other hand, it is to make one last big move before the Justice League's facade is completely destroyed.

After all, Cyborg was in charge of looting, Flash was in charge of transporting the loot, and Aquaman was in charge of escaping in the sea. The process was just too perfect. Sherlock Holmes, a ruthless bandit who was used to robbing in the universe, would have felt incredibly uncomfortable if he didn't steal something from such a perfect setup.

Of course, before that, Sherlock needs to upgrade his Justice League persona!

Don't think Sherlock didn't notice Tony's little tricks. Trying to mess with him? He'd better face the iron fist of justice!

Chapter 716 Who is the Lovely and Charming Villain?

Nine o'clock the next morning.

Not far from the UN General Assembly building in New York.

Captain America, Black Widow, Falcon, and Hawkeye got out of the car. After looking around, they exchanged helpless glances. Ever since the meeting location was changed from Berlin to headquarters, they had felt uneasy, as if something big was about to happen.

After exchanging glances, the captain, still feeling uneasy, pressed his headset and asked Tony, who was providing technical support from the back.

"Tony, what's the situation with Sherlock?"

"I don't know. Ever since I delivered the helmet to Sherlock yesterday, that brat has been out of contact. I tried to go to Vought Corporation to look for him, but I couldn't even get through the gate."

Tony's voice came through the headset, filled with deep regret. He really shouldn't have told that bastard Sherlock about this; now things were getting out of their control.

God knows what kind of crazy things this bastard is capable of doing.

Upon hearing Tony's words, the four people present exchanged glances once more, then sighed in unison, their eyes filled with deep resentment.

Seriously, why did I ever think of dating this little rascal?

"I advise you not to hold back against that bastard. Just consider it venting, or give that bastard a good beating."

After saying this, Tony paused slightly, a hint of schadenfreude in his tone, before continuing to speak to the four people present through the communicator.

"Oh, right, I have some good news for you. Before I gave the Justice League Five's control helmets to that little bastard Sherlock, I specially upgraded and modified the Justice League Five, adding a pain system."

In other words, when you guys beat up the Justice League, those bastards will really feel the pain. You only have one chance for revenge, don't say I didn't warn you.
