Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

Little devil!

Seeing the little devil standing in front of him with a smile on his face, wearing a crown, Sherlock still felt the ecstatic joy of a Game of Thrones fan, even though he knew that the person with the same face as the little devil was named Etri and had nothing to do with the little devil.

What an amazing collaboration!

After shaking hands with Etri, Sherlock began his tour of the dwarven planet Nidavellir, led by Etri.

Nidave is actually not very large; in fact, it is more like a workshop than a planet. Its size is even smaller than Asgard, but the technology it contains is no less advanced than that of Asgard.

During his visit, Sherlock frankly stated that he wanted to witness the dwarves' forging techniques and learn how they captured the sun or planets to use as the core of their weapons.

These were supposed to be the most closely guarded secrets of the dwarves, but surprisingly, when faced with Sherlock, an alchemist, Etrid didn't hide anything and directly showed Sherlock the dwarves' top-tier equipment manufacturing technology.

Using that neutron star as a source of fire, the dwarves could melt almost any metal in the universe.

This is not what makes the dwarves most proud. What truly makes them proud is the process of making the molds!

Sherlock carefully observed the dwarves' mold-making process and came to a conclusion that surprised even Sherlock himself.

By creating the mold, the dwarves essentially used magical technology to create a rudimentary 'alchemy array'. Finally, they melted the proportioned 'raw materials' with the energy of the neutron star, allowing them to be refined under the catalysis of the mold.

It's no exaggeration to say that the dwarves invented a technique based on the principles of alchemy, using magical technology to imitate alchemy to the greatest extent possible!

Such ingenuity even amazed Sherlock, the alchemist.

However, what amazed Sherlock even more was the dwarves' method of embedding cores into their weapons.

The method of capturing planets that Sherlock had always been curious about was actually so simple that even Sherlock couldn't understand it. To put it bluntly, it was basically the same as putting an elephant in a refrigerator.

First, select a planet as the 'target'.

Then, they began constructing something like a Dyson sphere around the 'target,' and the final form was basically similar to the neutron star located in the very center of Nidavellir, which served as a 'furnace.'

Finally, using the energy of another star and enhanced by magical technology, the 'target' was compressed and folded, ultimately transforming it into a 'core' that could be embedded in a weapon.

To be honest, Sherlock was initially very interested in this technology, but after reading the technical data and construction conditions provided by Etri, Sherlock felt that he was not worthy of it.

Leaving aside the enormous investment required for the capture, the energy required for compression alone is beyond Sherlock's comprehension.

Sherlock would be better off using that time to research how to forcibly 'create' a so-called 'stellar core' through alchemy.

Once Sherlock learned what he wanted to know, it was time to reveal his true intentions. When Sherlock stated his purpose for coming to Nidavellis, it was clear that Odin had already given him prior notice. Etri was not surprised by this and was even somewhat eager to try.

Sherlock's goal was simple: first, to utilize the technology of the dwarves, combine it with the Asgardian magic he had learned, and use the Asgardian blueprints he had acquired, Sherlock planned to modify his Spear of Longinus.

Secondly, using materials from Nidavellir, Sherlock plans to recreate his mechanical arm and the Destroyer armor hidden within it.

Finally, and most importantly, Sherlock planned to collect as many items as possible that he might need in the future, and also do a bit of Asgardian 'weapon collection'.

Etri had already received Odin's instructions regarding Sherlock's plans and naturally wouldn't object. In fact, it's no exaggeration to say that even without Odin's instructions, Etri would have agreed to Sherlock's request.

After all, this was a genuine alchemist, and the dwarves spent their entire lives merely imitating and chasing after his creations.

Etri was naturally unwilling to give up such an opportunity to observe alchemy up close, nor would he give up the opportunity to have Sherlock instruct him on dwarven forging techniques.

The two sides hit it off almost immediately and started working enthusiastically right away, while Thor, the roughneck, could only follow behind Sherlock, looking completely bewildered, and occasionally being pulled along by the two to be a laborer.

Sherlock, of course, wouldn't miss out on Thor's fun, and even created Stormbreaker right in front of Thor without Thor knowing what was happening!

Even the materials used in Sherlock's Stormbreaker, as well as the alchemical arrays, runes, and magic patterns inside, are better than the original!

It's worth noting that the original Stormbreaker's handle was made from Groot's arm, while the one Sherlock is holding is a genuine branch from the World Tree!

Of course, the price was that Sherlock optimized the mold for the Stormbreaker, and as for what would happen next, Sherlock had no idea.

In addition, he didn't overlook Hela's multi-spiked longsword, which was small at close range but large at long range, or Sherlock Holmes, the spear of eternity in Odin's hand. He even took the time to study how to fuse the spear of eternity with the spear of lang.

In addition, Sherlock also made a lot of all sorts of random props, at least ensuring that almost every Avenger had two sets of props with completely different styles.

Even Zhao Weike Sherlock didn't forget to arrange a suit for him that functioned as a tuxedo.

Putting everything else aside, at least we don't have to worry about Zhao Weike's safety anymore.

Chapter 109 The Unspeakable Story of Forcing Growth

Of course, while Sherlock was busy making his own strange and wonderful gadgets, he didn't forget Thor, that blockhead.

Sherlock would never give Stormbreaker to Thor, after all, its power is too great, and Sherlock is extremely envious of the authority that can open the Bifrost at any time.

Moreover, Thor is now a hammer god, so naturally he is not qualified to use Stormbreaker, and Stormbreaker wouldn't even look at Thor.

Therefore, Sherlock, who was constantly being urged by Thor, finally got fed up and casually tossed Thor a new 'hammer'.

Sherlock named it the 'Mold of Helping Seedlings Grow'!

Aside from its core and appearance, this thing is very similar to the Meow Meow Hammer, except that the Meow Meow Hammer is a very gentle guide, while this 'Hammer forcing growth' was set by Sherlock to be 'plunder'.

Essentially, this thing is similar to Enma, which Zoro wields in One Piece. Both forcibly absorb the user's 'power' and forcefully unleash it.

For poor Thor, this thing will forcibly stimulate the power of 'Thor' within him, gradually making Thor's body 'remember' the feeling of power bursting forth, thus 'forcing growth'.

Of course, Sherlock wasn't a devil. To make it more controllable, he put a switch on the hammer handle. When the switch was turned on, the thing would grow faster than expected; when the switch was turned off, it was just a weakened version of the Meow Meow Hammer.

The design is excellent and aligns with Sherlock's original promise to rid Thor of the title "God of Hammers." The only problem is that while Sherlock was designing and building this thing, he was constantly annoyed by Thor's dozens of questions every day.

Finally, out of revenge against Thor and his own perverse sense of humor, Sherlock made some radical modifications to the thing's appearance.

Well, the hammerhead of this thing was designed by Sherlock to be a vertical cylinder with a semi-circle, somewhat like the shape of the head of the most common toilet brush on the market.

To better fit the switch above, Sherlock's handle was thickened and slightly curved, complementing the rope at the tail for swinging.

It's fair to say that once this thing was manufactured, all that was missing was replacing the rope at the end with a plug, and it could have served as a toy that only adults could play with in some unspeakable adult film.

Originally, this was Sherlock's revenge and prank on Thor.

However, subsequent events forced Sherlock to admit one thing: sometimes being naturally naive is actually a sign of being inherently cunning.

Thor didn't notice what Sherlock's creation actually looked like. He was inexplicably excited after getting his hands on it, especially after hearing Sherlock's explanation. He became even more attached to the hammer in his hand.

Then, in front of Sherlock, he started swinging the 'Pulling Up Seedlings to Help Them Grow' hammer.

Seeing this scene before him, Sherlock's eyelids began to twitch violently. It seemed that the scene he wanted to see, which would make Thor feel extremely indignant and ultimately have to compromise for the sake of power, did not happen. Instead, Thor seemed to really like this indescribable hammer.

Watching Thor get used to the 'forced growth hammer', Sherlock almost instinctively moved away from Thor. For some reason, Sherlock always felt a strange chill when he saw Thor swinging this thing.

It was as if some indescribable liquid would fly out of Thor's hammer with each swing of his hammer in the next second.

Accompanied by such a hallucination, Sherlock decisively chose to distance himself from the seemingly freakish golden retriever in front of him. However, what happened next proved just how correct Sherlock's choice was.

After swinging the hammer around for a while to get used to the feel, Thor actually pushed the switch on the hammer directly. The next second, a violent burst of lightning exploded from Thor and the hammer.

It burst forth with dazzling light, just like a giant firework.

Five seconds later, the enormous firework gradually dissipated, and Sherlock was finally able to see what had happened to Thor.

You might not believe it, but Thor, the god of thunder, the legitimate chief god of Asgard and the successor to the next king of the gods, was actually electrocuted by his own lightning after pressing a switch!

Seeing Thor lying on the ground, his body stiff and convulsing, even foaming at the mouth, Sherlock could only sigh helplessly. He then crafted a pair of insulated gloves, took his masterpiece from Thor's hand, and carefully stuffed it into his four-dimensional pocket.

As for Thor, well, under the incredulous, even twitching gaze of the Dwarf King Etri, he was carried away by the other dwarves for treatment.

Seeing the complicated expression on Etri's face, Sherlock could only bend down and pat him on the shoulder before speaking to Etri.

"Well, trust Thor. After all, considering the lifespan of the Aesir, this thing is only a young man who has just come of age. He's just a silly kid. And as things stand, I think Odin can handle it, so there's no need to worry too much."

Hearing Sherlock's words, Etri rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky, but he didn't refute what Sherlock said.

However, to their utter surprise, they underestimated Thor's obsession with getting rid of the title "God of Hammers." The very next morning, Thor actually came to Sherlock and begged him to give him special training!

"Sherlock! You don't know, when I turned on the hammer you lent me yesterday, I felt that power! I am Thor! Not the Hammer God! I can feel it! Help me! Please!"

Faced with Thor's words, what could Sherlock say? Even for his own future peace, Sherlock had to agree to Thor's demands!

After working with Etri to create a makeshift Meowth hammer in the shape of a bird's head for Thor, Thor's training began.

Using the discarded arc reactor from Sherlock's arm, Sherlock created a device intended to acclimate Thor to lightning, but in reality, it was nothing more than a large-scale electric shock device.

Every morning, Sherlock would excitedly shout, "Left zero, right fire, Thunder God help me!" and then forcefully shove the electrodes into Thor's body. Thor would stand there, holding a downgraded version of Mjolnir, trying to get used to the feeling of the thunder.

Then in the afternoon, Thor took the "forced growth hammer" and used it as a "five-second real man" to charge the reactor, before being carried back to his room to rest, foaming at the mouth.

Well, Sherlock felt that the happiest time of his day was when he went up to help Thor train. Sometimes, after training Thor, Sherlock even felt that his mind was sharper when he was making props with Etri in the afternoon.

As time went on, Sherlock even began to wonder if he had developed some kind of unusual fetish, and consequently, whether Thor had also developed some kind of unusual fetish.

After all, compared to himself, Thor really didn't seem like a normal person when he swung that 'forcing growth hammer' every afternoon.

Chapter 110 The Core of Asgard

Of course, Sherlock couldn't forget himself while trying to get rid of Thor.

On the tenth day after Sherlock arrived on Nidavellir, he upgraded everything from the gadgets in his four-dimensional pocket and his collection to his own equipment.

The most typical example is Sherlock's equipment, which was created using the Destroyer Armor.

Thanks to the reserves of the Dwarf King Etri, Sherlock enabled the Destroyer Armor to almost completely restore its former power. Despite the replacement of the core, the Destroyer Armor did not suffer a decrease in combat power due to its reduced size.

On the contrary, with Sherlock's alchemy and the Dwarf King's superb forging skills, combined with Nidavellir's unique stellar encapsulation technology, Sherlock's armor successfully evolved into a more advanced form.

While retaining its original characteristics, it is no longer limited to the previously fixed style of nano-biochemical suits. Instead, it has become similar to Tony's Mark 50 nano armor, which has fluidity and shape-forming ability. However, compared to the 'fragile' shaping of nano armor, Sherlock's armor is more rigid and looks closer to liquid metal.

This also made things easier for Sherlock, as he was no longer limited by the style of his armor, and could even wear it as clothing in his daily life, which was a significant improvement.

In addition, Sherlock also completed the task of fusing the Lannister and the Eternal Spear.

The Spear of Longinus, originally a long spear, under Sherlock's control underwent a major transformation, its overall design becoming similar to the Spear of Longinus in Evangelion.

However, the Lancer in Evangelion is a single unit, while Sherlock's Lancer is a combination of the Lancer and the Eternal Spear!

The two spears, one gold and one red, overlapped like DNA. Their shape, style, and even the eye-like star embedded at their point of intersection clearly told everyone that their power was not to be underestimated.

Even Etri had to admit that this was the most perfect weapon he had ever seen in his life!

The new Lancer not only retains all the characteristics of the two guns, but also adds the ability to transform. If Sherlock wants, this thing can truly transform into any weapon that Sherlock knows in an instant.

However, when not in use, this thing is just a thin glove on Sherlock's right hand, and it doesn't affect Sherlock's sense of touch at all!

Moreover, even in the glove form, it does not prevent Sherlock from using any alchemy by borrowing the properties of the Lannister.

Of course, compared to Sherlock's mechanical left arm, both the spear and the armor on his body are only minor upgrades.

Sherlock's upgrade to his left arm over those ten days was nothing short of revolutionary.

Originally intended only as an aid, Sherlock forcibly endowed his arms with seven traits, or rather, artificial consciousness: gluttony, sloth, lust, pride, wrath, greed, and envy.
