Online Game: My 10,000x Intelligence Buff Awakens

Cold, a bone-chilling cold, spread out from where Jake was, quickly covering everything around him.

The black floor quickly began to form ice, freezing the nearby machines.

Emma and Dr. Axel had to step back, and the other researchers did the same. Only the middle-aged man looked excited, and without thinking, he took a step toward Jake.

When he got about ten meters away from the cage, in just the blink of an eye, his feet were already stuck to the ice.

The man, still excited, used his control over the metal around him to come closer, trying to free his feet from the ice.

"Snap!"

A sound of skin being torn filled the air. His feet were instantly covered in blood.

A lot of his flesh had been taken by the ice.

The others watching the scene gasped in shock. In their eyes, this middle-aged man was like a superman, very strong.

But now, just a little bit of ice touching his feet had hurt him badly.

Dr. Axel stood there, shocked, and finally said: "We might have created something unimaginable."

Emma took a deep breath and looked down at the bracelet on her left hand.

To their surprise, the middle-aged man, who had been hurt by the ice, wasn't angry at all. Instead, he smiled even more excitedly.

He floated in the air, his body slightly bent, his lips stretched into a big, strange smile, like a madman, laughing loudly:

"Yes! That's it! Calamity is about to appear!"

On the ground, Molly stared wide-eyed, biting her lip, and kept her eyes fixed on the ice-covered cage.

She didn't know what was happening. Why had this thing happened to her, who had always been obedient?

Nurse sister had always told her that if she took her medicine on time and went to bed early, her dad would come back soon, and her illness would get better.

But now, all she saw was her dad locked inside the iron cage, and all she heard was the middle-aged man's crazy laughter.

She slowly raised her right hand and reached toward the cage covered in ice, crying out: "Dad!"

In an instant!

All the ice suddenly broke apart, turning into clear crystals that sparkled with colorful light under the lights.

In this dreamlike and beautiful scene, a monster appeared—tall, almost three meters high, with two scary faces on each side of its chest.

It gently exhaled, and at once, everyone felt as if they were standing in a freezing cold place, trembling all over.

Jake, the test subject, slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was cold and heartless as he looked around at everyone.

When his eyes landed on Molly, there was finally a small change in his expression.

The fully transformed Jake moved his head slowly and stiffly, his mouth barely moving as he whispered:

"Mo... Molly."

Molly heard Jake's voice and quickly replied: "Dad! I'm here!"

At that moment, the middle-aged man, floating in the air, suddenly hit his head and said: "Oh right! I almost forgot—just one more step left before [Calamity] fully arrives!"

He gently waved his right hand, and Molly, who had been trapped on the ground, suddenly flew into the air.

The man slowly moved in front of Molly, his face twisted as he whispered: "Little girl, you're so cute. A child like you is hard to resist."

"Don't worry, your dad won't get hurt. He'll become even stronger and more holy in a moment."

Molly cried out: "No! I just want my dad to go back to how he was!"

"Dad, look at me! I'm Molly!"

Molly screamed toward where Jake was, her helpless and scared voice making the monsterized Jake look up at her in the air.

The middle-aged man noticed Jake's eyes on him. He smiled and moved his right fingers slightly.

Suddenly, several pieces of steel rod rose from the ground, floating slowly toward Molly and surrounding her small body completely.

Now, all he had to do was gently control the rods, and Molly would die in front of Jake—painfully and slowly.

That would make the test subject Jake even stronger.

Even though Jake had become a monster, he still had the desire to save his daughter. His beast-like face slowly showed anger, and his eyes locked onto the middle-aged man with a fierce, killing look.

Emma and Dr. Axel realized that the middle-aged man, the kidnapper, wasn't going to keep his promise. He hadn't meant to let Molly go once Jake broke free.

From the beginning, he had planned to kill Molly in order to push Jake further—making him even stronger.

Now, Emma could only hope that the last bit of reason left in Jake would let him kill the man. Then she could use the bracelet on her wrist to activate the device inside Jake.

Only that way could they all escape alive.

Under the tense and nervous looks of everyone, Jake suddenly pushed forward, crashing into the iron cage in front of him.

The cage, which had been incredibly strong, bent into a big curve in an instant.

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up. He laughed: "Good! Good! Keep going! Hurry up, or your daughter will die right in front of you!"

[Calamity] was invisible, but it could take a special form on a person.

As a member of the [Black Sea] organization, the middle-aged man knew that the usual carrier of [Calamity] was someone very strong and completely lost their human mind.

But there was also a special case—someone whose natural ability matched [Calamity] perfectly. In that case, [Calamity] might choose that person as its carrier, changing them without anyone noticing.

Thinking about this, the man felt a little regret. There probably wasn't anyone in the whole Dolren City whose talent matched this "Frost Calamity" very well.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone through so much trouble, trying to increase Jake's power, and even using the way of killing Jake's daughter to break him.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The sound of hitting kept going.

The iron cage, made from special materials, was now shaking and very weak.

The middle-aged man focused all his attention on the test subject Jake, and didn't notice that, not far behind him, a young man in a black suit had suddenly appeared.

Lion was the fastest. While the other members of the No-Face Unit were still fighting with the [Black Sea] members on top of the factory, he had already reached this place.

He knew the guards outside were just small fry. The real target was the man floating in the air just a few steps away—his code name was [Iron Controller.]

Lion took a deep breath and pulled out a small tube of red liquid from his pocket. Without hesitation, he injected it directly into his neck.

As the red medicine entered his body, Lion's body started changing quickly.

His original height of 1.8 meters suddenly grew, and he became about 2.5 meters tall. His muscles became huge, and his skin was covered with lots of red hair.

At the same time, a thick tail appeared at his waist!

Now, he had completely turned into a huge red-furred ape with a human face. His black suit must have been made of special material, because it didn't tear apart.

Some researchers watched in shock as Lion changed.

At this moment, the middle-aged man known as [Iron Controller] finally realized something. He turned around quickly.

What he saw was a huge red ape wearing a black suit, rushing toward him at super speed!

[Iron Controller] frowned and quickly controlled the nearby metal to lift himself up to a higher place.

At the same time, some machines that had been fixed on the ground started shaking and flew into the air under his control.

One after another, the metal machines fell from the sky like meteors, rushing toward the suit-wearing ape.

"Boom!"

Lion moved very quickly, dodging the attacks. From inside his suit, he pulled out a stick about ten centimeters long. He gave it a quick shake, and it turned into a thick, long stick!

Lion held the stick and kept dodging while trying to get closer to [Iron Controller].

At that moment, Emma suddenly shouted: "Save the girl first! She's the key!"

Emma didn't know what the middle-aged man wanted, but she was sure now—he was trying to kill Molly to make the test subject Jake completely lose his mind.

In this emergency, [Iron Controller] even smiled slightly at Emma.

Emma felt her heart stop for a second. She quickly turned her head and looked toward where her brother Lucas was.

The middle-aged man had used Lucas to threaten her before. Now, she and Dr. Axel had already helped increase Jake's power. Her value was gone.

If the man wanted to kill Lucas, he wouldn't hold back at all.

Emma tried to shout out that she could control the device inside Jake, but before she could speak, she saw a sharp, long knife flying toward Lucas at lightning speed!
