An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

“Oh? Are we going all out now?” Dustin smirked, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Mulder, who had advanced to become a grandmaster martial artist through drugs, had a weak foundation. Even after taking the enhanced serum, he still posed no threat to Dustin. If Mulder were a hundred times stronger, he might just barely be able to fight Dustin.

As the serum’s effects pushed his body to the limit, Mulder suddenly let out a furious roar. His muscles swelled rapidly, and his bones cracked as they expanded. His body grew larger at an alarming rate, and his clothes tore apart under the strain.

His six-foot frame stretched to nearly seven feet in mere moments as his body swelled to monstrous proportions. His face twisted fiercely, and his skin darkened as black scales surfaced.

With another guttural growl, his roar turned beastlike. He grabbed his shredded shirt and ripped it away, exposing his broad chest covered in dark scales. A faint, eerie sheen flickered across their surface.

“Die, punk!” Mulder roared.

He launched forward like a cannonball. The ground on which he had just been standing erupted, sending rocks scattering in all directions.

“Unbelievable speed!” Warrick’s eyes widened in shock. He had heard about the Hall of Gods’ enhanced serum but hadn’t realized just how potent it truly was.

Before taking the serum, Mulder’s strength was just at an early stage of grandmaster. Now, he had broken through to a whole new level. His speed, strength, defense, and reflexes were all greatly enhanced.

It was no exaggeration to say that he was now more than twice as powerful as before. Just one dose of the enhanced serum had turned him into a monster in mere moments.

No wonder the Hall of Gods had grown rapidly in recent years. With these serums, they could cultivate vast numbers of powerful fighters without worrying about a lack of talent.
