Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

Therefore, Tony didn't believe at all that Sherlock would hold back in the final battle and truly defeat the Avengers without mercy. After all, if that happened, not only would the Avengers be unable to survive, but the so-called Fallen Plan might also be impossible to resolve.

It was precisely because he was certain of this that, although Tony appeared to be busy recruiting members and building equipment, he actually only had a "good enough" attitude towards his equipment for the final battle.

However, after the rare meeting where Captain America and Sherlock brainstormed together, Tony displayed a passion for the final battle that was difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Well, if Sherlock's involvement in Bucky's corruption plan could be seen as harassment of Captain America, then when the Flash appeared to personally rescue Bucky and activate the Winter Soldier version, Tony already understood Sherlock's intentions.

However, unlike Sherlock's expectations of Tony's reaction, Tony did not show much resistance to Sherlock's plan to make the Winter Soldier the new anchor of the captain. On the contrary, Tony was extremely excited.

Even now, Tony doesn't have a good impression of Bucky, the man who killed his parents. It's just that, out of respect for Captain America, Tony can't directly target him or actually take action against Bucky.

Now that Sherlock has actually brought Bucky into the Justice League's 'villain' camp, Tony would be a fool to refuse such a reasonable, legal, and legitimate opportunity to beat Bucky up.

To this end, Tony even sacrificed his rest time, working tirelessly and even sacrificing his liver, to painstakingly handcraft a suit of armor that didn't exist in either the movies or the comics in less than a week.

Mark-1, the ultimate armor with no limits!

To create this armor that doesn't exist in comics or movies, Tony not only picked up the magical technology books that Sherlock brought back that he couldn't understand at all and started to study them by hand, but he also spent a lot of money to acquire a lot of treasures from the PAB organization and Rabbit. This is how the armor codenamed "No Limits" came about.

While retaining the most basic protective capabilities of the armor, flight capabilities, and the most basic palm cannon, No Limits completely abandons any other attack methods, instead focusing on torture.

It's no exaggeration to say that if the normal Mark armor is a weapon capable of killing, then the armor with no limits, represented by the minus sign, can at most be considered a non-lethal weapon.

However, although it doesn't kill you, it has plenty of ways to torture you. After all, it's called "no limits," so what kind of normal thing can you expect from this armor?

What's even more abnormal isn't just the 'unscrupulous' moves of the Unscrupulous Armor, but even the armor's appearance itself seems to have a somewhat unscrupulous feel to it.

If Tony's previous armors mostly conformed to the style of American comics, then this new, unrestrained armor looks somewhat similar to the Armor Hero from tokusatsu dramas.

The only difference between it and Armor Hero is the color scheme and the lack of those fancy decorations. After all, Tony stuffed a lot of 'props' into the armor, making it impossible to match the appearance.

Of course, since it's an anti-Bucky armor designed to counter Bucky, Tony didn't need to make it so much in line with his own style.

The other Avengers noticed Tony's strange enthusiasm, and even the Captain America sensed something was amiss.

Even if Captain America is an idiot, he knows what Tony is up to, given how Tony keeps sending out all sorts of random stuff every now and then.

Knowing this, what could the captain say? He couldn't say anything, since these things weren't fatal; at most, it would be uncomfortable and embarrassing. In the spirit of "better to die than lose," the captain could only silently cross Bucky in his heart with a wicked smile, and then openly buy an action camera that could record 8K quality footage to carry with him.

To be honest, after buying this action camera, the captain actually felt that traveling through time to the modern era wasn't all bad. At least he really liked the fact that his best friend's embarrassing past could be captured in 8K high-definition without any censorship.

However, the Captain's shameless behavior only deepened the Avengers' perception that the Captain had been corrupted by Sherlock, to the point that ever since the Captain bought that action camera, everyone looked at him with a very strange gaze.

Even on routine missions tracking Bucky, these guys weren't as keen on working with Captain anymore, even Falcon, who trusted Captain the most. After all, nobody wants their dark history to be 8k high-definition and uncensored.

The captain, on the other hand, was completely unaware of this, or perhaps he was somewhat unaware but didn't care.

After all, the captain has already reflected on his own moral standards and tried to emulate Sherlock. Dwelling on it too much is not in the captain's nature, especially since a decline in moral standards is completely irreversible.

Just as it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, expecting the captain to return to the morally upright state he was when he was first liberated from the ice is pure nonsense. He's already doing well that he's not the captain he was when he took Sherlock's pills. What more could you ask for?

That being said, the captain's actions also had some influence on the other Avengers.

To put it simply, expecting the Avengers, who have had the most contact with Sherlock, to be perfectly normal is pure nonsense.

Adhering to the principle of using magic to defeat magic, after Captain America purchased that 8K high-definition image-stabilized action camera, it became standard equipment for every Avenger.

After all, nobody wants their embarrassing history to be in high-definition, uncensored 8K quality. If you can film it, why can't I?

The good news is that this is an unspoken rule that everyone knows but has never publicly announced. Almost everyone carries their own action camera, but under normal circumstances, they would never take it out or tell anyone else.

The bad news is that this so-called unspoken rule only applies to the older Avengers who have had more contact with Sherlock. Newcomers are completely unaware of it, which means that in the future, Spider-Man, Wanda, Vision, Quicksilver, and even Bucky's dark past will be presented in high-definition, uncensored 8K quality.

Most importantly, it was filmed from multiple angles, so there's no way to deny it!

Chapter 726 Evidence in the Plan

Aside from these little pleasures, the Avengers are actually quite busy. On one hand, they have to hunt down Bucky in Winter Soldier mode, and on the other hand, they have to guard against Sherlock occasionally launching surprise attacks on the Avengers.

Fortunately, under Sherlock's propaganda offensive, those heartless maggots are now too busy to take care of themselves. On the one hand, they have to deal with the pressure from public opinion, and on the other hand, they are busy devouring the corpses of their companions. Most importantly, they have to prevent themselves from being the next ones to be exposed.

Under multiple pressures, those heartless maggots adopted an ostrich-like policy towards the war between the Avengers and the Justice League, ignoring it, showing no concern, and pretending not to know anything, thus granting the Avengers and the Justice League the greatest degree of freedom.

Both Sherlock and the Avengers could see what these guys were planning. Clearly, they were waiting for the outcome of the battle before making a decision.

On one hand, they genuinely didn't want to relinquish control of the Avengers; on the other hand, it was because when the Flash appeared beside Bucky and activated Bucky's Winter Soldier mode, the Justice League wasn't entirely without clues.

Furthermore, because of Sherlock's policy of releasing damaging information, they have plenty of time to wait. It's just a matter of a few insignificant scoundrels dying. It might be a devastating blow to the scoundrels, but the mastermind behind it all is indifferent.

For market manipulators, if they can nurture one heartless maggot, they can nurture another heartless maggot.

However, the Avengers have no way to interfere with the plans of those manipulators or ruthless villains; they can only place their hopes on Sherlock's side.

Sherlock naturally saw through the plans of those guys who were practically marinated in greed. After chuckling a few times and saying hello to the rabbits, he released the mastermind's dirt on them the next time he released dirt.

The emergence of this wave of negative information has caused a public outcry in the United States.

It's worth noting that the so-called shadow government has always been a darling of the market in the United States. However, although there have been claims about the shadow government in the past, most of these claims have been categorized as conspiracy theories due to a lack of evidence.

This latest wave of negative information about Sherlock directly confirms this point; it's not a conspiracy theory, but something that truly exists.

Once the scandals of a family that entrenched itself over the United States, whose family businesses involve every aspect of the country, are exposed, along with the celebrities, politicians, and businessmen involved, plus the 'blood tax' content that no normal human being could accept, will be exposed.

With the amplification of public opinion, the impact is undoubtedly enormous, and to put it more seriously, it could bring down a whole family of traders.

In fact, after Sherlock exposed one of the manipulator families, that family really did fall, and the speed of its downfall surprised everyone.

One reason for this was that they were jointly suppressed by other families, while another was the choice made by the public under the influence of public opinion.

Under these circumstances, the masterminds hiding behind the wicked maggots finally became afraid. Unfortunately, the Justice League did not provide them with any means of communication, and they could not even contact the Justice League on their own initiative.

Left with no other option, they could only coerce some people to concede some benefits in an attempt to quickly overturn the Wakanda resolutions that had already been passed at the UN General Assembly. Even their domestic regulatory legislation was put into special processing immediately.

The speed at which they slid to their knees was so fast that even the Avengers were stunned. What's even more infuriating is that these guys even began to subtly surround and restrict the Avengers, hoping to curry favor with the Justice League in this way.

The Avengers were undoubtedly helpless and upset by this, as Sherlock's 'additional damage' was something they hadn't anticipated.

However, there was some good news: their tracking of Pakistan quickly pinpointed a location in Alaska near the Arctic Circle.

Alaska is a very complicated place. It was originally Russian territory, and the US couldn't possibly know everything that Russia did there.

But later, the Russians sold this land to the Americans at a very low price, thus transferring ownership of the land to the Americans.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that there are countless secrets of the Russian bear in this harsh land, and the US is not capable of exploring them all.

Unsurprisingly, the Winter Soldier's experimental base was located on this land that had changed hands. What surprised the Avengers even more was that there was not only Bucky, but also three other Winter Soldiers who had been killed by Bucky while frozen in the ground.

More importantly, this is not just an ordinary experimental base; it is a nuclear launch site with a nuclear missile silo!

In other words, this might be a contingency plan left behind by the Russians when they sold this land, intended to target the US—a 'bomb' in the US's backyard, or even behind its air defense network.

As for why this base eventually fell into the hands of Hydra, and why the nuclear bomb disappeared without a trace.

Considering the information from the base that some items were not taken away or eliminated, it can only be said that this is quite normal. After all, after the end of World War II, many Hydra agents were taken away by the United States and Russia as war booty, especially scientists and equipment.

Hydra was able to develop into such a mess in the US with the backing of S.H.I.E.L.D., so what kind of mess do you think it would be in the US?

It's simply that the Russian bear died in the end, while the US survived. As a result, Hydra, which had been betting on both sides, ultimately chose to side with the US, which is why things were relatively peaceful on the Russian side. Otherwise, things probably wouldn't have been so good for Russia.

Inside this Hydra base, after enduring various training sessions and hardships at Sherlock's hands, the Avengers finally saw the message he had left for them once again.

Or to be more precise, it was Sherlock's 'gift' to them.

The original Justice League gear set, plus a bomb that can blow up the base gate, and a weird volatile potion that makes clothes brittle.

The reason for leaving the original equipment was to prove that the entire base originally belonged to the Justice League, and to some extent to lock down 'evidence' of why the Justice League was able to manipulate the Winter Soldier.

As for the bomb that can seal the gate, it can be considered as 'evidence' that the Justice League is targeting the Avengers, trying to hold them back so as not to affect their plans. Its symbolic significance outweighs its practical significance, since it is a bit of a pipe dream to think that you can hold back the Avengers just by sealing the gate.

As for the last strange potion that could make clothes brittle and leave no trace after half an hour, it was simply Sherlock's twisted sense of humor.

The result was that when the Avengers came out of their base in Alaska, near the Arctic Circle, they were all naked and frozen like rag dolls, constantly cursing Sherlock's family.

The good news is that the Avengers arrived in a spaceship built by Tony, and miraculously, the place where the spaceship landed wasn't far from the launch silo from which they escaped.

The bad news is that the operation to track down the Winter Soldier was mostly carried out by veterans of the Avengers: Captain America, Black Widow, Falcon, Hawkeye, Tony Stark, and Rhodey. Despite each of them having an action camera, they miraculously refrained from recording the others' embarrassing moments due to mutual intimidation.

The good news amidst the bad news is that, despite everyone's embarrassment, once everyone boarded the spaceship, under its warm heating, the group almost instantly formed an alliance.

If nothing unexpected happens, after the Justice League's corruption plan orchestrated by Sherlock comes to an end, a certain bastard named Sherlock will face their united revenge...

Chapter 727 Bucky's Battle of Wits Against Thin Air

When Bucky regained consciousness, he found himself lying in an empty apartment room, completely exposed and carelessly thrown onto the floor like a corpse.

Rubbing his groggy head, Bucky struggled to sit up. Feeling pain all over his body, Bucky instinctively checked himself over.

Well, my clothes were a bit torn but still neat. My anus felt neither foreign nor stinging. Apart from the headache that felt like it was about to explode, all I felt was the soreness from the buildup of lactic acid.

Bucky was well aware of this situation, the usual exhaustion from completing a Hydra mission, but this time was clearly different. In Bucky's last memory, he seemed to have been activated by a person whose body was crackling with lightning, who activated the Winter Soldier's key.

Huh? The Flash?

Bucky searched through his chaotic memories for a long time before he could barely match the red figure covered in lightning with something familiar to him.

It was just that the numbers matched, and that absurd feeling that came from the inside out made Bucky extremely doubt whether he had remembered it wrong, or was simply hallucinating.

After all, being controlled by a character in a comic book would make anyone question their existence, let alone Buggy.

Can you imagine seeing Erzhuzi on the street one day, and then Erzhuzi immediately giving you the feeling of Tsukuyomi?

What's more, even the concept of the Flash was something Bucky learned after escaping Hydra's control during the battle when S.H.I.E.L.D. fell. Don't forget, Bucky is an old popsicle with the same age and experience as Captain America.

More importantly, Bucky wasn't as lucky as Captain America, who had Sherlock and others to help him understand modern life. Bucky had to figure things out on his own, and it was already quite an achievement that he knew about the Flash.

After repeatedly questioning his existence, Bucky finally decided to put the Flash problem aside for the time being and prioritize dealing with his current situation.

After looking around the empty room, Bucky came to the conclusion that it was a bedroom in a decent apartment, and obviously, it wasn't a permanent base, since no one would live in an empty room.

After slowly getting up from the ground, Baki walked to the window and looked outside. Surrounded by tall buildings, Baki couldn't figure out where he was. He could only focus his gaze on the door, hoping to find more clues.

Unexpectedly, the door to the room was not locked as expected. Bucky carefully turned the doorknob and, trying to make as little noise as possible, carefully opened the door. He slipped out and huddled against the wall like a cat to minimize his exposed area and make it easier to deal with any danger.

It must be said that although Buggy's actions from beginning to end were tactically sound, a simple turn of his head was enough to freeze Buggy in place.

Outside the empty room was a corridor, and at the end of the corridor, a tall black man with only half a face, the rest replaced by steel and machinery, sat quietly, staring blankly in the direction of the corridor.

Around the tall black man, a red 3D projection surrounded his figure, and the torrent of data was almost non-stop, with web pages opening and closing at extremely fast speeds.

Each time this operation is completed, an additional file is added to the projected image next to it. In addition, countless other things that look like surveillance footage are constantly flashing at an extremely fast speed.

The good news is that the figure sitting at the end of the corridor didn't seem to notice Bucky, who had come out of the room and was standing motionless at the door, like a lifeless computer mechanically executing the user's commands.

The bad news is that Bucky somewhat recognizes the tall figure sitting at the end of the corridor, looking like a puppet.
