Master Ancient One's Peeping

The strongest?

Despite Raven's high praise, Rorschach felt no joy at all, because he knew full well that he was nowhere near that level yet.

Not to mention the countless supervillains in this world capable of destroying a city—or even the Earth—Rorschach was far from the strongest even among mutants alone.

Leaving aside everyone else, Rorschach still could not kill the Black King he had just fought.

Once Professor X grew stronger in the future, he would also pose a major threat to Rorschach.

Of course, that was only considering their abilities.

There was no need even to mention the overpowered Phoenix. Before her Phoenix Force, Rorschach was nothing but trash.

Then there was Apocalypse, sleeping somewhere underground, and so on...

Rorschach still had a long road ahead of him.

"Raven, I'm still far from strong enough!"

Rorschach shook his head at Mystique and said seriously, "If I were strong enough, then Shaw would have been the one running away, not me."

"Rorschach, you've already done very well. You fought back against Shaw, and you protected everyone! And us?"

At that, Mystique could not help mocking herself. "We did nothing! The only thing we managed was acting like a bunch of frightened rabbits!"

"Lasers can shoot out of his eyes? Little one, just how many secrets are you hiding?"

Kamar-Taj.

Master Ancient One sat upright within the Sanctum's Supreme Hall. Before her floated a mirror formed from magic.

The mirror displayed the scene of Rorschach testing his heat vision at Charles's home.

Master Ancient One simply watched Rorschach in the mirror, an intrigued look appearing on her face. "Interesting. It has been a long time since I last felt what surprise was like."

Whoosh!

Master Ancient One lightly waved her right hand, and the mirror vanished instantly.

It was as though it had never existed at all.

Naturally, Rorschach could not possibly detect Master Ancient One's "peeping" in the slightest.

Not even him as he was now. Even if Homelander truly crossed the universe and arrived here, he probably would not be a match for that old woman.

"Raven, let's head back."

Rorschach did not continue such a heavy topic with Mystique and called out to her.

"Oh, right. Sorry about breaking the rock in Charles's yard."

Glancing at the large stone that had shattered into fragments, Rorschach shrugged again.

"I believe that if Charles knew why that rock broke, he would be very pleased," Mystique said carelessly.

After returning to his room this time, Rorschach had no more worries. He lay down on the bed and quickly drifted into sleep.

"Ah!"

"Another brand-new day!"

After waking up, Rorschach stretched comfortably.

He casually pulled open the curtains, and soft sunlight streamed in through the window.

Looking outside, he saw a lush green lawn and a brightly colored garden beside it.

It gave him the feeling of watching a Li Ziqi video.

After washing up, Rorschach went downstairs to the living room.

The hall was already full. Mystique Raven, Hank, Banshee, Havok, and the other mutants had all gathered there.

Everyone sat together, and the gloomy atmosphere was plain to see.

"Rorschach, I have to hand it to you. You actually managed to sleep."

Havok, Alex, was genuinely impressed by Rorschach.

Something so huge had happened yesterday, and this guy really did not take it to heart?

But then he thought about Rorschach's overwhelming strength...

All right, Havok decided his perspective had been too narrow.

"What's everyone talking about?"

Rorschach naturally took an empty seat.

"We're wondering whether we should go out and gather some information."

Angel, who had been sitting with one leg crossed over the other, straightened up and spoke to Rorschach.

Although they had temporarily escaped the Black King and spent the night here without incident, who knew whether the Black King had uncovered any clues?

What if the Black King traced them here?

Wouldn't they become lambs waiting for slaughter?

But for the very same reason, no one dared to rashly go outside.

What if the Black King really had found this place? Going out was one thing, but what if they were spotted?

Even the CIA base had been wiped out. No one dared face the Black King again.

But hiding here with their "ears shut to all outside affairs" was obviously not a solution either.

"I'll go!"

Mystique Raven stood up then and volunteered. "I grew up here. I know where to gather intelligence."

"Raven!"

Hank immediately showed his concern.

When Raven had come to the CIA base, Hank had shared a somewhat ambiguous relationship with her. Of course, Hank did not know that Raven had already "cheated" on him last night.

"That's too dangerous. What if you run into that guy?" Hank hesitated, clearly not in favor of it.

"Hank, I know this area, and I can transform into someone else. You and I both know that I'm the best candidate."

But Mystique had already made up her mind, and her tone was firm.

What she had gone through last night had unknowingly helped Raven mature somewhat.

"Raven, you shouldn't have to bear all this for us."

Havok Alex also voiced his opposition.

He felt that it was too humiliating for so many of them to rely on a woman with no combat ability.

"Alex, Raven is right."

Darwin was much steadier. He understood that this truly was the best plan.

Although he had worries and concerns as well, there really was no better way.

"Don't worry, everyone. I'll go with Raven." Rorschach stood up then.

How was he supposed to trigger missions by staying cooped up in the house?

He did not believe missions would come knocking on his door again like they had yesterday.

If he wandered around outside, the chances would naturally be much higher.

"If Rorschach is going too, then that couldn't be better." The carefree Banshee immediately slapped his thigh and laughed.

None of the others raised any further objections.

This was the true best combination.

Once they had made their decision, Rorschach and Raven did not waste any more time.

After some simple preparations, they set off directly.

Mystique used her powers to transform into a middle-aged man.

As for Rorschach, although he felt it was unnecessary, he still followed everyone's request and made a simple disguise: he put on a hat.

He also found one of Charles's old trench coats and wore it over his clothes.

"Wow, Rorschach."

Raven looked Rorschach over from head to toe and seemed very satisfied. "I never thought Charles's clothes would suit you so well. Perfect."

"Really?" Rorschach raised an eyebrow. "Which one of us is more handsome, Charles or me?"

"Of course you are." Raven winked at Rorschach.

"Raven, with the way you look right now, that expression makes you seem exactly like a pervert."
