Swish!

Another cold glint flashed past.

It was Rorschach, flicking his wrist at the Black King again, and another dagger cut through the air with a chilling glint.

In the blink of an eye, it shot towards the Black King.

But the situation that happened with Avalanche didn't occur. When the dagger touched the Black King, it was as if it encountered some unknown energy blocking it, and it stopped directly in front of the Black King.

Then, with a clink, it fell to the ground.

It didn't cause the slightest bit of damage to the Black King.

"What's going on?"

"Why can't the dagger penetrate?"

The mutants were all utterly bewildered.

If the dagger couldn't penetrate, then bullets would be useless too, right?

Only Rorschach understood the principle behind it.

Of course, the Black King had absorbed all the kinetic energy of the dagger the moment it was thrown, which caused its speed to drop to zero.

Naturally, it couldn't continue to penetrate.

It could only fall to the ground.

"As expected of the Black King!"

Rorschach couldn't help but praise him internally.

He had to admit, the Black King's ability was incredibly overpowered, practically cheating. It meant that all forms of attack were ineffective against him.

Whether it was physical or energy attacks.

"It's useless. There's no need to make any more futile efforts."

The Black King wasn't annoyed. He stood there with his arms crossed, smiling at Rorschach.

Rorschach's previous attack was merely a tickle to him.

As if he hadn't heard the Black King's words, Rorschach ignored him and ran to the side. He then lifted a car with both hands and charged towards the Black King with a rumbling roar.

The force of over a ton pressed down on Rorschach, causing the ground to tremble faintly with every step he took.

The thunderous sound was incredibly intimidating.

Even more astonishing was that Rorschach, lifting such a massive object, seemed completely unfazed.

His speed didn't seem to decrease at all.

It was as if the car were made of paper.

The scene was quite visually striking.

"Rorschach, isn't that too much?"

"He's a monster!"

Mystique, Raven, and the others couldn't help but swallow hard as they watched.

"Wow, what terrifying strength!" Even the Black King couldn't help but show a look of admiration.

The more he looked at Rorschach, the more satisfied he became.

However, the Black King didn't take Rorschach's attack seriously at all. He just stood his ground, waiting for Rorschach to arrive.

Although it was arrogant, the Black King had the capital to be arrogant.

Rumble rumble rumble!

Soon, amidst the tremors, Rorschach had reached the Black King. He leaped up, jumping high into the air.

He tightly gripped the rear of the car with both hands and smashed it down towards the Black King.

The car, weighing over a ton, combined with the inertia from falling from a height and Rorschach's strength, merged together. It descended upon the Black King like a small mountain.

But the Black King casually raised his right hand and gently pushed upwards.

The car froze above the Black King's head, as if it were a leaf, easily held up by one hand.

It was unclear whether the Black King had also absorbed the potential energy of gravity, or if he had absorbed the terrifying kinetic energy and used his own strength to lift the car.

In any case, Rorschach's attack was completely useless.

Boom!

The Black King lightly pushed forward with one hand, and the entire car was flipped over by him, crashing heavily onto the ground.

Then, the Black King lightly brushed some dust off his body, as if he had done something trivial, and looked at Rorschach, "Alright, have you had enough fun? Isn't there a limit?"

The atmosphere in the venue became oppressive again. No one had expected the Black King to be so powerful.

Rorschach, who had successively defeated the Red Devil and Avalanche, couldn't even make a ripple against the Black King.

"Rorschach, we'll help you!"

Wrecker Alex stepped forward at this moment. He twisted his body as if playing with a hula hoop, unleashing several energy rings outwards with whooshing sounds.

Two of the rings went astray, but one accurately shot towards the Black King.

The Wrecker's rings were quite powerful, capable of instantly slicing through metal sculptures. It should have been no problem to cut through a person.

But the next moment, the smile on the Wrecker's face froze. He saw the Black King suddenly reach out towards his ring and press down forcefully into his palm.

The ring was surprisingly absorbed by the Black King.

Thump!

The Black King then stomped his right foot on the ground, releasing the absorbed energy.

Crack crack crack!

The ground was directly broken open, and a massive fissure spread forward, crashing into the room.

With a loud boom.

The wall violently shuddered and then half of it collapsed.

The mutants cried out in alarm and scattered, their gazes towards the Black King now filled with endless shock and apprehension.

They realized that this was not a being they could possibly contend with.

They were on completely different levels.

No one dared to make another move.

Seeing this, the Black King smiled with satisfaction. He glanced at everyone, "Don't worry, I won't harm you. But now, can we talk?"

Everyone huddled together fearfully, their eyes fixed on the Black King, none daring to reply.

The Black King then shifted his gaze back to Rorschach, "And you?"

Rorschach also seemed to have no intention of attacking the Black King further. He silently walked back into the crowd.

Firstly, Rorschach had personally verified that he was indeed incapable of killing the Black King at the moment, so there was no point in continuing futile efforts.

Secondly, the other mutants had deeply recognized the Black King's power, and thus, the time was ripe.

"Rorschach, what should we do?"

Mystique Raven quietly asked Rorschach for his opinion. The others also looked at Rorschach with questioning eyes.

Even though Rorschach couldn't defeat the Black King, he was still the backbone of everyone's hearts.

"Everyone, hold each other's hands."

Rorschach inexplicably instructed them.

Although the group didn't quite understand Rorschach's meaning, it wasn't the time to ask questions. They all followed Rorschach's instructions and held onto each other.

At this point, Rorschach took out the gas grenades he had prepared earlier, pulled the pins, and threw them all at the Black King.

Hiss hiss hiss!

A large amount of irritating white smoke instantly filled the air.

"Darwin, didn't you say you wanted to leave earlier? It's time."

Rorschach took the lead, quickly leading everyone away.

Only then did everyone understand that Rorschach had asked them to hold onto each other so that no one would get lost in the thick smoke.
