Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

With Thor leading the way, the remaining Avengers joined in after a moment's hesitation. After all, everyone wants to relax after a big battle, and usually, people don't feel tired when they're doing bad things.

Chapter 199 Loki's Personality Correction Surgery (Part 1)

Thick and noisy!

This was Loki's first sensation upon regaining consciousness: he seemed to be trapped in some kind of liquid? Damn it, had Thor really abandoned him and not taken him back to Asgard?

After this thought crossed his mind, Loki felt a rare sense of panic and began to struggle to ascertain his current situation. Unfortunately, Loki sadly discovered that he couldn't even move a single finger.

Loki cautiously probed with his tongue, and only after confirming that he did not feel the viscous liquid as he did with his body did he try to open his eyes.

It was only at this moment that Loki realized he seemed to be wearing a breathing mask on his face, and outside the mask was that viscous liquid. He was indeed imprisoned on an Earth, just as he had initially guessed, and had not been taken back by Thor.

Because of the refractive properties of the viscous liquid, coupled with the attenuation of sound as it travels across media, Loki could neither see what was happening outside nor hear what the argument was about.

"Calm down! Loki, you must calm down! You are the greatest sorcerer in the Nine Realms, the prince of Asgard, you must calm down!"

After the initial panic, Loki kept reminding himself and tried to open his eyes wide to figure out the situation.

Through the viscous liquid, Loki could barely make out the identity of the person standing outside his strange 'cell'.

The leader of that strange spaceship seemed to be called Egg? Loki also recognized the person he was arguing with; he was carrying a round shield, and Loki had a deep impression of him, not just because he had fought with this person before.

During the Battle of New York, Loki was also deeply impressed by this person's outfit!

The only problem is that he genuinely can't hear the two arguing!

Loki tried his best to block out his chaotic thoughts, focusing almost all his attention on his ears, and only then could he barely hear the two arguing.

Captain: "No! I absolutely disagree! Thor won't agree either! This is his brother!"

Black Widow (Black Widow): "Captain, I hope you understand your place. Loki is a criminal! A living alien! No one will pity a criminal! At the same time, this is also the best way for us to crack the secrets of alien bodies!"

We have an alchemist like Sherlock Holmes who can perform human transmutation! If we miss this opportunity, how long will we have to wait for the next one? When will humanity truly be able to prevent a repeat of the Battle of New York?

Captain: "No! Nick Fury! This is inhumane! Live experimentation is strictly prohibited!"

Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson): "But the protocol is ineffective against aliens!"

Captain: "You'll regret this!"

After he finished speaking, Loki heard the sound of a door closing, and he was incredibly surprised. What were these Earthlings going to do? Were they going to use me for experiments?

An indescribable fear instantly enveloped Loki's heart, but before Loki could react, a piercing alarm sounded in the laboratory. The next second, Loki heard the most desperate words he had heard since regaining consciousness.

Passerby A (Hawkeye): "Chief, the test subject's brainwaves are abnormal; there's a suspicion of signs of consciousness!"

Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson): "Inject a sedative!"

As this conversation began, Loki felt as if his eyelids weighed a ton, and his consciousness slipped back into unconsciousness.

What Loki didn't know was that after he fell unconscious again, the seemingly cold and serious 'laboratory' became incredibly lively almost instantly. Tony sat on a high stool, slapped a clapperboard he'd found somewhere, and then shouted to the scene.

"OK! Loki is confirmed to be unconscious! Hurry, hurry, get the second scene set up. Thor, come here, let me give you some pointers. I'm really worried you'll mess this up!"

As Tony said this, the scene became noisy. The Avengers were all excited and doing their jobs. Black Widow, who had been temporarily turned into a black egg by Sherlock's alchemy, started frantically touching up the makeup of the actors for the next scene.

Meanwhile, Sherlock began adjusting the 'props,' running back and forth across the entire scene, with Hulk acting as his laborer, helping Sherlock move some large items.

As for Tony, he was sitting in the director's chair with a script, indulging in his directorial fantasies. Hawkeye, the archer, not only made a cameo appearance as an extra, but also took on the role of a cameraman, carrying a camera on his shoulder and filming the performance from all angles.

You know what, every single Avenger present, despite their rich life experiences, was experiencing something completely new for all of them.

Especially Tony, the world's richest man, has experienced everything, and this is his first time directing!

As the scene was cleared out, the second major event began.

When Loki regained consciousness, he found Thor lying outside the glass jar that had imprisoned him, looking utterly miserable.

Not to mention the cat hammer, it even lost an arm and a leg, and half of its body was covered in terrible wounds.

Not only that, Thor, who looked incredibly miserable at this moment, was even wailing and constantly begging the people in protective suits surrounding him to kill him.

Such a sight filled Loki, who had just regained consciousness, with disbelief. The scene before him undoubtedly conveyed a message: Thor had failed! He had even become an experimental subject of Earthlings, just like him!

In such extreme shock, Loki didn't even notice that the originally viscous liquid had become much clearer, and that he could even clearly see Thor and hear Thor's wails.

White Coat Armor (Sherlock): "We must understand the bodies of these Asgardians as soon as possible. War between Earth and Asgard is imminent, and this guy in front of us is undoubtedly the best material!"

White coat B (Tony): "But this guy's identity is, after all, that of a prince of Asgard. Are you sure he'll be alright?"

White Coat (Sherlock): "Don't worry, after us is Sherlock, the alchemist who can perform human transmutation! Do you think he'll be more merciful than us? Besides, even if something really happens, he can use human transmutation to repair it, at least outwardly there won't be any abnormalities!"

Hearing the conversation between the two, Loki was filled with questions, but just like the first time, before he could react, his eyelids became incredibly heavy once again.

This was not the outcome he had imagined! In any case, Loki did not want to see Thor become experimental material, nor did he want to see a war between Asgard and Earth!

Chapter 200 Loki's Personality Correction Surgery (Part 2)

After Loki passed out again, Sherlock ripped off his mask, glared at Thor lying on the lab table, and started yelling at him.

"F*** you! Thor! What the hell are you laughing at?! You almost gave yourself away! If I hadn't been quick-witted and blocked Loki's view with my body, you would have been exposed, you know that? We're not doing a drill! This is a live broadcast!"

Hearing Sherlock's roar, Thor somewhat embarrassedly pulled his arms and legs out of the hole under the bed and scratched his head awkwardly.

"Mentor, I didn't mean to. It's just that it was my first time doing something like this, and I couldn't keep it up."

Yes, the 'incredibly miserable Thor' that Loki just saw was actually nothing more than special effects makeup plus a few magic props.

Fortunately, the final result was still good, and soon everyone got busy again, and the grand drama targeting Loki came to its final act.

When Loki regained consciousness, he found that the scene before him had changed once again. The person locked in that large glass jar was not himself, but Thor, an unharmed Thor!

What truly terrified Loki was that Sherlock was standing right in front of him!

If it were just the Sherlock from the Battle of New York, that would be one thing, but it's clear that the Sherlock before us is not the same Sherlock from before.

At this moment, half of Sherlock's face was covered by machinery, and the eyes on that mechanical face emitted a soul-stirring red light. He stood silently by Loki's bedside.

Behind Sherlock stood Hulk, a Hulk whose body was almost entirely mechanized, even his face was covered by a mechanical mask.

Both Sherlock and Hulk, who stands behind Sherlock, exude an indescribable smell of gunpowder and a sense of vicissitude after war.

Upon witnessing this scene, Loki's mind went completely blank, and he began to struggle and roar wildly on the experimental table.

"What have you done to me? How long have I been unconscious? Damn it, what have you done to Thor? And what have you done to Asgard?"

Hearing Loki's roar, Sherlock's remaining half of his face revealed a mocking smile as he spoke to Loki.

"What did I do? You actually ask me what I did? Isn't all of this your fault? It was you who insisted on invading Earth, causing turmoil on Earth. After you were imprisoned on Earth, Thor turned against the Avengers and tried to take you back."

Ultimately, they were overwhelmed by the Avengers' siege and captured alive, becoming test subjects. Thanks to Thor, humanity learned about the physical and genetic conditions of the Asgardians. In the subsequent war between Asgard and Earth, they used genetically edited weapons to cause the death and injury of most of the Asgardians!

Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, your mother Frigga also died in that battle!

Defeated Asgard accepted Earth's peace talks. It must be said, Odin was indeed a good father. Do you know what his demands were? So many humiliating treaties were exchanged for the safe return of you and Thor, his two children, to Asgard!

Hahahahahahahaha!!! How ironic! It's just a pity that neither I nor the humans of Earth intend to let Asgard go. Don't worry, I'll modify you and Thor; you two will be the culprits who turn Asgard to ashes!

Upon hearing Sherlock's description, Loki was completely dumbfounded, looking utterly incredulous. His eyes widened as if he wanted to devour Sherlock whole, and he roared at Sherlock.

"Impossible! Asgard cannot be defeated! Earth alone cannot defeat Asgard!"

Sherlock did not refute Loki's words. Instead, he calmly pointed to his mostly mechanical face and said to Loki in a flat tone.

“You’re right. Even if Earth used genetic weapons targeting Asgard to kill a large number of Asgardian warriors, Earth could not truly defeat Asgard if Odin wanted to.”

But it's clear that Odin overestimated his popularity in the universe and underestimated the significance of an alchemist!

Upon hearing Sherlock's words, Loki was stunned, staring at Sherlock with disbelief. At this moment, Loki's mind was almost driven mad by a feeling of regret.

He simply couldn't understand why the Battle of New York had turned out the way it did.

He couldn't understand why Thor hadn't abandoned him, or even Odin. He wondered how desperate his mother must have been when she died in battle.

Countless chaotic thoughts flooded Loki's mind, rendering him unable to make any expression. He lay on the experimental table as if he had lost his soul.

Seeing Loki's expression, Sherlock's lips curled into a slight smile. He reached out and placed a hand on Loki's forehead, trying to maintain a calm tone as he spoke to Loki.

"Get some sleep! When you wake up, you and Thor will be the final straw that breaks Asgard's back!"

As soon as Sherlock finished speaking, the hand that was on Loki's forehead burst forth with blinding crimson lightning. The next second, Loki felt as if his head had been hit with a hammer, and he immediately lost consciousness.

Only after Loki had passed out and Sherlock was certain that Loki wouldn't suddenly wake up did he tear off the half of the mechanical face mask. He then took out the path to becoming a catgirl from his four-dimensional pocket and began modifying it using alchemy.

Hulk, who had been standing behind Sherlock the whole time, also removed his mask, revealing a face that was already contorted with laughter.

The Avengers present were also laughing hysterically after confirming Loki's unconsciousness. Tony almost immediately rushed to Sherlock with the script in hand and questioned him.

"And then? Damn it, Sherlock, your script ends here. What's the next step?"

Upon hearing Tony's question, Sherlock, while maintaining his alchemy, revealed a wicked smile and said to Tony.

"It's simple, just restore everything to its original state! Then deny that we played any pranks on Loki!"

Upon hearing Sherlock's words, the Avengers, who had been all smiles, froze for a moment, and the more they thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed.

Almost everyone could see the despair and regret that Loki had just displayed, and once everything returned to normal, everything Loki had just experienced would haunt him like a nightmare.

What chilled them even more was that Sherlock's devilish smile didn't fade; instead, he chuckled and placed the cat-ear hair ornament on Loki's head.

The next second, a catgirl named Loki appeared before everyone's eyes, but Sherlock's wicked smile did not diminish in the slightest. He maintained his smile and spoke to everyone present.

"Of course, the necessary modifications will still be necessary. Now let's move on to the second round!"

As Sherlock finished speaking, the next second, a chorus of swallowing sounds filled the room. Almost everyone was wondering if they had offended this shameless little rascal recently.

Chapter 201 Loki's Personality Correction Surgery (Part 2)

Everyone present looked at Sherlock with a hint of 'fear'. Of course, Sherlock himself seemed indifferent, and even secretly took something out of his four-dimensional pocket and put it around his neck when no one was paying attention.

An Eye of Agamotto radiating a green glow!

Compared to the real Eye of Agamotto, the one around Sherlock's neck was now slightly open, and the light from the Time Stone was so bright that Loki, lying on the experimental table, could see it clearly.

Of course, this thing is just a replica that Sherlock made for his collection; it's not the real Eye of Agamotto. Fortunately, it should be enough to fool Loki.

The reason why Sherlock secretly brought such a thing along is quite simple: there are some things that the current Avengers cannot know. This newly formed Avengers is far too fragile, and the matter of the Infinity Stones could very well crush this group of birds that have just gathered together.

Not only that, if Sherlock really reveals the Infinity Stones, it will most likely reach Blacksmith's ears, and Blacksmith might then use it as an excuse to massively develop weapons.

So when it comes to destroying Hydra, it won't be as simple as it's portrayed in the movies.
