Online Game: My 10,000x Intelligence Buff Awakens

Ethan heard [Iron Controller]'s cry. A bad feeling suddenly came to his heart.

"Master?"

Was there someone even stronger than [Iron Controller]?

As Ethan thought this, he heard a sharp clap of fingers.

Then, the space where [Iron Controller], Lion, and experiment subject Jake were suddenly changed.

All the colors seemed to be taken away in an instant, leaving only gray and white!

Everything—[Iron Controller], Lion, Jake, even the dust falling from the ceiling—stopped moving in a strange, frozen state.

A figure slowly appeared in the center of the gray-white space.

He was only about 1.5 meters tall, thin, and his face was hard to see. He looked like a boy around 13 or 14 years old.

Danger!

Extremely dangerous!

Ethan's pupils suddenly got bigger. His breathing became fast, and the hair on his neck stood up on its own.

This boy, who looked only 13 or 14, was definitely very dangerous.

No matter if it was monster Jake, the red-haired gorilla in a black suit, or the middle-aged man who could control metal—now they were all frozen, like helpless animals in front of him.

Ethan took a deep breath and slowly stepped back.

Others were still shocked, but Lucas and Emma had already realized. They quietly looked at Ethan, then started to move back like him, step by step.

But at that moment, more people in black suits suddenly ran into the underground space.

Their arrival instantly broke the silence.

Lila gasped when she saw the boy and shouted: "It's [Black Sea]'s [Space Wolf]! Now the captain is in big trouble."

According to the official ranking of awakened humans, based on the damage they can cause, they are divided into 1 to 9 levels. A first or second-level awakener can only kill three to five police or soldiers at most in a short time.

Lion, the captain of the special forces team, was a third-level awakener. Even a dozen fully armed soldiers couldn't fight back against him.

Unless they used heavy weapons and fired a wide area attack, it would be hard to kill him.

But at this stage, ordinary people didn't know that there were supernatural forces in the world. To avoid causing panic, the higher-ups could only send people like them—those with supernatural powers—to do the jobs.

And that boy called [Space Wolf] was, according to official records, someone with the power to destroy a small city. He was a fifth-level awakener!

Lila remembered the information about [Space Wolf]. Her eyes were full of worry. She couldn't understand why such a strong person would appear in such a small city as Dolren.

At that moment, the boy in the gray space spoke coldly to [Iron Controller]:

"Useless waste!"

"I didn't expect I'd be the first one to appear. That's really an honor."

His words made everyone in the room confused. What did he mean by "the first one to appear"?

Was there someone else here?

Some members of the special forces team realized the question. Their expressions turned very serious, even a little scared.

But in the team, Leo showed no other emotions. He was urgently looking for Ethan.

Soon, he saw Ethan quietly stepping back toward an empty area. Next to him were two men, a very beautiful woman, and a little girl with her mouth covered.

Leo sighed in relief. As long as Ethan was safe, that was the best outcome for him.

But just then, Leo saw the guy that Lila called [Space Wolf]. To his shock, the boy slowly turned his head and looked directly toward Ethan's direction.

Leo immediately got worried. He wanted to save Ethan some time. He tried to open his mouth and shout, but suddenly his throat felt extremely painful. Something was quickly growing inside, blocking his breath.

It wasn't just him—everyone in the room was the same.

[Space Wolf] frowned slightly, took a step back, and snapped his fingers. Right away, the gray space around [Iron Controller] returned to its normal colors.

[Iron Controller] quickly landed on the ground. He bowed deeply, looking very respectful, and was about to say something to [Space Wolf] when he saw a completely new expression on the boy's face—something serious and unusual.

[Iron Controller] had never seen this look on the boy's face before. Slowly, he turned his head toward the direction the boy was looking.

There, a man in a white suit was walking calmly, holding a huge black umbrella. He stepped forward slowly, like he was just taking a walk.

[Plague Ghost] Jade appeared in front of them, as if he had always been there. He gently waved his hand, and the ground in the underground space started to shake violently.

Dozens of black rats crawled out from every corner, forming a line like an army behind Jade.

Jade stood still, saying nothing. It seemed like he was waiting for someone. Only when someone collapsed on the ground, gasping for air and turning red in the face, did he finally say with an awkward smile:

"Sorry, I got a little carried away with the greeting."

Soon, the strange feeling in their throats disappeared.

Lila, the deputy captain of the special forces team, was breathing hard. She swallowed nervously, her face full of disbelief. She whispered: "How could it be... him?"

"What happened in Dolren City? Why are so many legendary terrifying people showing up?"

Leo saw that Lila seemed to know the elegant man in the white suit with the big black umbrella. He quickly asked: "Deputy Captain, do you know who this man is?"

Lila took a deep breath to calm herself and answered:

"[Ghostfang] organization's famous strong person, [Plague Ghost] Jade. If he wants, he can turn the whole Dolren City, and even the nearby cities, into a hell of disease and plague."

"Up until now, the official records still can't figure out exactly how many levels he is."

Strong people like [Plague Ghost] Jade don't usually show up in one place easily. They only come when something very important is happening.

But Dolren City isn't a major city. The [Cold Calamity] incident was already surprising enough to bring out a fifth-level awakener like [Space Wolf].

Now, the appearance of someone as strong as [Plague Ghost] Jade was completely unexpected.

The atmosphere on the scene suddenly turned strange. After learning about [Space Wolf] and [Plague Ghost], the special forces members didn't even dare to breathe, afraid of making any noise.

They could only watch as their captain, Lion, was stuck in the gray space, completely frozen.

As for [Iron Controller] and [Space Wolf], they were both being very careful and alert, watching [Plague Ghost] Jade closely, not wanting to show any weakness.

Only Ethan, Lucas, and Emma were still slowly moving backward. Their movements were small, but still enough to be noticed by [Space Wolf] and Jade.

Jade didn't seem to care much about Ethan and the others, but [Space Wolf] was different. He knew that if things kept going like this, the experiment subject Jake's daughter, Molly, would be taken away.

He took a deep breath, trying to keep his voice calm, and said slowly:

"I always thought there were other strong people watching from the shadows. I just didn't expect you to show up here."

Jade answered calmly: "Oh, so you mean I shouldn't be here?"

[Space Wolf] quickly shook his head, as if he was about to say something. But then he realized his reaction looked too scared and nervous.

He clenched his fists, paused for a moment, then said: "The news of your arrival will spread quickly. Dolren City probably won't be peaceful anymore after this."

It was obvious. A top-level member of the [Ghostfang] organization wouldn't just appear in Dolren City for no reason. Soon, more strong people would come to check what Jade was up to.

Jade smiled and said softly: "The wind is blowing, the lake is getting rough. Isn't that normal?"

"Alright, let's stop the small talk. According to what you said, there are still some characters who haven't shown up yet."

Before he finished speaking, the ceiling of the underground space suddenly broke apart.

A small figure fell from above, holding a huge scythe in one hand and a long chain in the other.

Four men, their faces full of fear, were tied to the chain. They hit the hard ground with a loud crash, but they didn't make a sound. They were too scared to move.

[Head-Cutter] looked excited and shouted at Jade: "Did you see what I saw up there?"

Jade paused for a moment and asked: "What?"

A look of excitement appeared on [Head-Cutter]'s face. She couldn't wait to say: "An amazing piece of art!"

"I saw a body that had been beheaded. The smooth cut, the scared expression on the head—it had some flaws, but it was still so beautiful that I loved it!"

"Who did it? Who did it? Come out and talk to me! I have so many ideas to share!"
