American comic book series: The beginning of fusion with Homelander

"Everyone is right. This operation wasn't a complete failure. We did gain something."

"For example, we now know just how far we are from being a true warrior!"

"As you all know without me saying it, this operation was entirely thanks to Rorschach, or rather, it was accomplished by him alone."

“Without him, we would all probably have fallen. Rorschach, you did a great job. Eric and I were right about you.”

At this point, Charles couldn't help but cast an approving glance at Rorschach.

"But what about all of us? Including me, including Eric!"

Charles's next words made the atmosphere in the room very tense.

"I'm not trying to demoralize you, nor am I being harsh on you. I'm just telling you that we still need to train!"

"Everyone, assemble on the playground tomorrow morning!"

Charles, Eric, and Mora then left, but the atmosphere remained somewhat somber.

There's no way around it; the reality we all face is just that heavy.

Everyone must accept this reality.

"Everyone, I'm going back to my room now!"

"Me too, see you all tomorrow."

With the atmosphere becoming so heavy, no one really had the energy to continue chatting.

They greeted each other and returned to their own rooms.

I imagine that everyone needs to sort out a lot of things.

"Rorschach!"

Hank deliberately lagged behind a few steps, standing in front of Rorschach as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Hank, come with me."

Rorschach understood what Hank meant and nodded at him.

Hank immediately beamed with joy; he knew things had worked out.

"Here you go, Hank, this is what you wanted."

Back in his room, Rorschach handed Hank a syringe of blood sample.

That was extracted directly from the ninja's body before he killed him.

Having promised Hank this, Rorschach naturally kept it in mind.

"Great."

Hank grabbed the syringe and examined it as if it were a rare treasure, reluctant to let go.

"Rorschach, thank you, thank you so much!"

Hank put away the blood sample and thanked Rorschach repeatedly.

"You're welcome, Hank. I hope it can be of help to you," Rorschach said sincerely to Hank.

Rorschach knew Hank's ambition: he intended to develop a potion that could change his Bigfoot while retaining his abilities.

Simply put, it means being a mutant with a normal appearance.

If this can really be achieved, it would be a good thing.

However, the reason Hank turned into a beast was that the drug he researched not only failed to suppress the genes in his body, but instead enhanced those genes, which led to the birth of the beast.

If this research on Hank is successful, his strength will probably not be as great as before.

But whether this is good or bad, who can say for sure?

"It will! It definitely will!"

Hank was full of confidence and spoke fluently.

He still has great confidence in his abilities.

Moreover, Hank's research was already more than halfway done, or even complete. He just needed a blood sample for reference to make final adjustments, nothing more.

"Good luck, buddy."

"Thanks, Rorschach!"

Hank left, completely satisfied.

……

The next morning, all the mutants began their special training once again.

Moreover, it's quite obvious that after that real-world experience in Manhattan, everyone has matured considerably.

Both their energy and mindset have improved significantly compared to before.

In the past, some people complained that it was tiring, bitter, boring, and so on.

But now, this situation has never occurred again.

Even Eric is spending more time training.

This operation was a blow to everyone else, and it was also a blow to Eric.

He also truly realized his current shortcomings.

Although the Shaw in the beginning was fake, Eric would never forget the helplessness and despair he felt when facing him at the start.

If I don't improve my strength soon, I'm afraid that kind of despair will happen again when I encounter the real Xiao.

Eric absolutely cannot accept this.

Of course, Rorschach was no exception.

He is also training himself to adapt to the various attributes of his rapidly growing body.

In addition, there is training in thermal ray attacks.

This thing is like shooting; it looks simple, but to become a sharpshooter, you still need to put in a lot of effort.

The entire Xavier Manor was thus engulfed in a lively and bustling atmosphere.

In this situation, Eric quietly approached Rorschach.

Chapter 060 Rorschach VS Eric

"Eric, are you sure?"

Rorschach looked at Eric, who was standing solemnly in front of him, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Eric, you're asking for it!

“I’m pretty sure that Rorschach and Charles’ training might be useful to others, but it won’t be very useful to me. I’ve reached my limit!”

Eric's eyes gleamed with a different kind of determination.

It seems that this battle with the fake Shaw has greatly stimulated Eric.

The real Black Emperor couldn't be defeated, and then the fake Black Emperor couldn't be defeated either. This is a bit too discouraging.

"So Rorschach, I need you to take action against me, to treat me as a true enemy!"

"Attack me! Attack me!"

"Don't hold back!"

Eric said to Rorschach with absolute certainty.

So Rorschach was conflicted. He understood Eric's meaning: he wanted to unleash his potential through a real life-or-death struggle and make himself grow and improve rapidly.

That's the right line of thinking.

However, Eric made one mistake.

That means he chose the wrong sparring partner.

Given Rorschach's current strength, if he were to truly consider Eric an enemy, Eric would be lucky to survive even five seconds.

However, considering Eric's abilities, Rorschach thought again and realized that using Eric to practice his heat ray might be a good option.

After all, shooting tennis every day gets a bit too boring.

"Okay, Eric, I agree."

Rorschach nodded, and Eric immediately showed a look of joy.

The two of them arrived at the training ground in high spirits.

Eric was already prepared there.

He somehow acquired a variety of metal objects, including steel pipes, steel rods, metal tables, chairs, benches, I-beams, and so on, which seemed to be enough for Eric to use.

hum!

Eric gently waved his hand, and all the metal objects flew up as if they were his loyal servants.

It simply hovered behind Eric, serving as Eric's backdrop.

It made Eric look incredibly awesome, his status was off the charts.

Rorschach discovered that Eric's ability was absolutely perfect for showing off.

"Rorschach, are you ready?"

Eric looked at Rorschach, his face brimming with fighting spirit. It had been far too long since he had experienced a truly exhilarating battle.

Although he is not as strong as Shaw, he is still considered a strong person among mutants and has not really encountered many opponents.

"Let's do it, Eric!"

Rorschach beckoned to Eric with his finger.

"Has it started yet?"

"Almost there! Hey, don't push me! If you push me again, I'll be out!"

"I can't see it from here!"
