[The footage confirms my hypothesis,] the system said.
[Each power creates different neural links, and without additional buffering capacity, these conflicts cause disastrous consequences. That is, if the specin doesn't die because of the first one they got. The solution the Blackguards employed to have multiple neural links is quite ingenious. With the plants preventing brain decay, the brain crystal can actually change its job as a buffer and act as a channeler. This ans that, in theory, brain crystals can do both jobs.]
The video resud, showing Dr. Hayes looking older, addressing a small group of scientists.
"Project Awakening has failed in its original target. We cannot safely allow humans to use mana without brain crystals. We know that using mana without brain crystals is possible, but it is beyond our current capabilities. The genetic modifications we perford to achieve that resulted in unacceptable mutations in human subjects."
Erik said.
[Yeah.]
One scientist spoke up. "Should this an we will have to give humans brain crystals?"
"Yes, but that would an only getting one power, since we still didn't find a way to allow the crystals to handle more than one power and multiple mana loads."
"We haven't tested this enough on humans, Doctor."
"I know." She paused. "The risk of unstable results remains, and the interface with human neural tissue is problematic given the human brain's complexity."
Erik paused.
[They failed back then, yes, but think about it. We have seen thaids who had developed more powers. This must an that they either were successful up to a certain point or that the thaids mutated further through ti.]
[Yes. I suppose I was a compromise of sorts. While theoretically brain crystals aren't necessary to use powers, the thod was far beyond their capabilities. So, I think they found a way to use multiple powers by taking advantage of the brain crystals, and that ended up with my creation.]
The system paused.
[In theory, if a brain crystal can both act as a buffer and as a channeler, I think I was created to act as the latter. I don't have to provide mana. I need to rewire the mana stream to allow you to use two powers. The issue is that the use of powers is heavily influenced by genetics. They realized this when they saw the first monsters with powers, especially when they saw they were racial ones. That's why I can modify the DNA.]
Erik stared at the frozen image of Dr. Hayes, the woman who had accidentally created the chain of events that led to the world he knew.
