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 ti to train all those powers made it superfluous to add new ones. Aside from that, rging powers had a huge downside: losing the neural links.
Erik had thought many tis 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, aning 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 sothing 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 rge, and if he wasn't careful, the result could be disastrous. The biological supercomputer explained that rging results could be unpredictable.
A very strong power, if rged with another good one but with no synergy, could create sothing different from both. That was why Erik always stuck to rging things that were relatively similar. He could combine beast and human shapeshifting, and he was certain he would get a shapeshifting ability.
Maybe he could rge the wyvern flas with the solid Frostwind so that he could not only imbue his hardened sli weapons with the frost and wind elents but even with the wyvern fire, which was much stronger than normal fire.
He turned to look at June. The clone remained silent for a bit, but he actually had so ideas.
Right. Erik wasn't alone anymore. If he wanted to fight and defeat the Blackguards, he needed strong companions. That beca clear when he saw June struggle during the last missions.
Besides, he knew little about the situation in Frant, but based on what Noah said, it was not that good. Most likely, many of the clones he made before leaving for New Alexandria were dead. While it hurt him and June, of course, that many of their brothers died, it was also clear he needed to make more of them, and they needed to get stronger. Based on what Shade said, or rather thought, Doran's research was now being implented, and that ant that many blackguards were going to have multiple brain crystal powers. But they weren't the only ones. If Shade convened a eting with other criminal lords to discuss this matter, it implied that the Blackguards intended to use them as foot soldiers, or so Erik thought.
That wasn't all, because these guys were also arming their man with brain crystal guns, along with other brain crystal equipnt. This would complicate Erik's situation even further.
He could buy or learn how to craft them; that was true, but he doubted he would earn enough money to equip all his troops or even find enough people and make enough machines to create them.
He then turned to June. < I rember. So I assu you are thinking of sacrificing those two powers? >
