Having all those DNA points was good and all, but there was one tiny problem.
Erik didn't absorb new brain crystal powers until now. Shade's one was the only exception he made, and the reason was that even having all those, even with his insanely strong training technique, was taxing, and things were becoming much harder as the number of neural links increased. Not having the time to train all those powers made it superfluous to add new ones. Aside from that, merging powers had a huge downside: losing the neural links.
Erik had thought many times about getting a lot of them and training them only at the initial levels. That would have increased his strength by a lot, but the powers' efficiency would have remained low. The number of neural links directly affected the amount of mana drawn from the brain crystal, meaning that the higher the number of neural links, the lesser the mana used was, and Erik needed mana, and a lot at that. There was only so much he could do with physical ability alone.
But something changed in the past few months. Erik realized he had to focus on a few powerful brain crystal powers.
The problem was that he didn't have that many powers with great synergy to merge, and if he wasn't careful, the result could be disastrous. The biological supercomputer explained that merging results could be unpredictable.
A very strong power, if merged with another good one but with no synergy, could create something different from both. That was why Erik always stuck to merging things that were relatively similar.
Maybe he could merge the wyvern flames with the solid Frostwind so that he could not only imbue his hardened slime weapons with the frost and wind elements but even with the wyvern fire, which was much stronger than normal fire.
The idea was that the strength enhancer would increase the clone's strengths further, bypassing the limit that made the clones get half of Erik's physical stats. Similarly, the parallel will brain crystal power should make the clones smarter.
[There will be.]
The biological supercomputer said. Fighting the feeling of weirdness Erik was experiencing while talking to the AI as if it were a person, he asked,
The biological supercomputer paused for a second.
[Hais' Brain Crystal Power allows you to create a mana brain that enhances your cognitive abilities, to the point where you can think as if you have two brains. The secondary effect is that it boosts your intelligence in a passive way. Approximately, you get around five intelligence points for each neural link you make. Of course, by sacrificing this ability, you will lose those points that should be around 80.]
The biological supercomputer paused again. [It depends. Until I get my hands on them and start the merging process, I can't really tell what will happen. There are many things I must consider. ]
The biological supercomputer paused, as if it were thinking about what to say and how to convey it to Erik and June.
[The complexities of the merging process are grounded in the multidimensional aspect of DNA, which is far more complex than the classic double-helix model. It concerns the overlay of quantum entanglement theories upon genetic markers, adjusting the resonant frequencies of each brain crystal power's unique mana signature. ]
[Attention must be given to the harmonization of the resonant mana wavelengths; a dissonance could cause catastrophic feedback loops. This is where mana parity conservation comes into play. It ensures that the output remains within the thresholds that your physiology can withstand without causing mana burns or DNA fragmentation. ]
