BIOLOGICAL SUPERCOMPUTER SYSTEM

It was true he could enter everywhere undetected with hi Chameleon Veil, but he needed something that allowed him to interact with people.

A brain crystal power that allowed him to shapeshift into a person was the best thing to accomplish that, but they were hard to find. Besides, he needed the power to have similar effects as those he got when he had Conal\'s.

When he gave the power to his clones, he didn\'t know what he was giving up. Conal\'s power was very rare. He didn\'t understand why it was classified at such a low rank in Frant, but it was clear it was much more useful than it was given credit.

Now, at best, the only way for him to get something similar was to get a large pool of Shapeshifting brain crystal powers and merge them.

Erik started channeling mana through his neural links. His body responded instantly, a tingling sensation coursing through his veins as mana flowed from his core and into his neural links.

His hand extended outwards, his fingers curling around a hilt.

A sword of hardened slime formed in his grip. A frosty aura enveloped the blade, while a gentle wind swirled around it, adding to its otherworldly appearance.

Erik gripped the hilt, feeling the cool touch of the hardened slime against his skin. The sword felt solid and balanced in his hand, its weight familiar and comforting.

With a swift, fluid motion, Erik swung the sword. His muscles moved with practiced ease, the power of his swing harnessed and controlled to create a deadly, precise arc.

The blade sliced through the air, its passage marked by a soft whistling sound that was eerily melodious amidst the silence.

The blade itself was a spectacle to behold. As it cut through the air, it left a trail of frost in its wake.

The window bore the brunt of Erik\'s attack. Upon impact, the glass shattered, exploding in a shower of razor-sharp shards that glittered like diamonds as they scattered across the room.

The force of Erik\'s swing sent a gust of icy wind into the room, causing the curtains to billow and the remaining shards of glass to shiver in their frames.

The lovers on the bed, caught in the throes of their passion, had barely a moment to comprehend the danger.

Their world shattered in an instant, their blissful oblivion replaced by sheer panic.

Their eyes widened in shock, their mouths opening to let out surprised gasps that were abruptly cut short.

The wind blade found its mark with ruthless efficiency. It sliced through them with a chilling ease, a guillotine that left no room for escape or mercy.

The surrounding air crackled with energy, the temperature dropping as the frost took hold.

Their bodies went limp almost instantly. Their eyes stared blankly at the ceiling, their expressions frozen in a tableau of shock and fear.

Their lives were snuffed out in a single, swift stroke.

[HUMANS KILLED: MANA ABSORBING PROCESS STARTING.]

[0%...1%....5%...30%...70%...100%]

[MANA SUCCESSFULLY ABSORBED, STARTING CONVERTING PROCEDURE.]

[3...2...1...0]

[MANA SUCCESSFULLY CONVERTED INTO EXPERIENCE 1936 EXPERIENCE POINTS AWARDED TO THE HOST.]

Erik expected little experience from these two guys, but it was a pleasant surprise. He knew he needed all the help he could get to accomplish his goal.

The two lovers\' blood stained the bed sheets. An eerie silence filled the room, with only the soft hum of city life outside and the occasional tinkle of glass shards settling on the floor.

Erik\'s face was a mask of impassivity as he observed the lifeless bodies crumple onto the bed.

His eyes were as cold and unreadable as a frozen lake. There was no trace of emotion in his gaze, no hint of remorse or satisfaction.

He felt no joy in their deaths, no thrill of victory that one might expect from a successful hunt. There was only a hollow emptiness, a void that even the most brutal of kills could not fill.

His heart remained unmoved, his conscience untroubled. The lives he had taken were merely numbers added to an already long list.

With a thought, he retracted the sword. With a thought, he retracted the sword, causing the frost-wind-imbued blade to shimmer before dissolving into thin air.

It left no trace behind, no evidence of its lethal power. Like its wielder, it was a ghost, a phantom that struck without warning and disappeared without a trace.

Erik vaulted through the shattered window and into the room. The air inside got replaced by the warmer air lingering outside.

His gaze fell on the woman\'s lifeless form. With practiced ease, he reached out and extracted her brain crystal from her head.

Next, he turned his attention to the woman\'s blood. Freshly spilled, it was still warm, a stark contrast to the cold, lifeless body it had once animated. He collected it using a small bottle.

Once he had completed its task, Erik brought it to his lips. The blood was warm and metallic, a taste he had long grown accustomed to.

[HUMAN DNA GAINED. STARTING THE ANALYSIS.]

[ANALYSIS COMPLETE.]

[100 DNA POINTS ARE REQUIRED TO EXTRACT THE DNA. 500 TO GET IT WITHOUT INCURRING PAIN AND LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS. 1000 DNA POINTS ARE REQUIRED TO ABSORB INSTANTLY THE MAN\'S DNA.]

[23250 DNA POINTS DETECTED. STARTING EXTRACTION?]

"Yes, absorb it instantly."

[BLOOD ABSORBED. DNA STORING PROCEDURE STARTED. PLEASE WAIT.]

[PROCEDURE COMPLETE.]

It took a little time before Erik swallowed the woman\'s brain crystal. He spent another 1000 DNA points, and got the woman\'s power, which allowed her to shapeshift into a bear this time.

<Well, it won\'t be useful as I wanted, but it\'s still something… >

Erik looked around and sighed.

<I Still have much more to do… >

This was just the beginning. Erik needed more powers to create something similar to what Conal had.

<System, show me the status. >

[Biological Super Computer Powers]

-Brain Crystal Manipulation

Brain Crystal Power Extraction (Allows the absorption of the brain crystal, making the host able to gain the power contained within. Notice: the DNA must be changed in order to allow the body to use the power. See DNA extraction.)

Brain Crystal power Merging (Allows to merge two powers birthing a new one. It requires the merging of the DNA to work.)

Brain Crystal Power Analysis (Allows to analyse the target brain crystal without the need to know the creature.)

- (LOCKED)

- Brain Crystal Power Strengthening (Allows the gaining of the energy attribute points)

-(LOCKED)

-DNA Manipulation

DNA Extraction (Allows the absorption of foreign DNA, making the host able to replicate it inside his own body. Notice: Changing the DNA is a slow process, and it is required to use new brain crystal powers.)

DNA Merging (Allows to merge two DNAs, birthing a new one. Required to accommodate merged powers.)

DNA Analysis (Allows to analyse the enemy DNA from the distance for a better understanding of the target\'s stats.)

- (LOCKED)

DNA Strengthening (Allows the gaining of the Strength, Intelligence, and Dexterity attribute points)

-(LOCKED)

- Analysis (Gives the host information about his surroundings, plants, creatures, and ores.)

[Host\'s Powers]

FORCE MANIPULATION: Bν1B-RANKED (Manipulate a mana-driven force to produce powerful shockwaves that can change in intensity, radius, speed, and power. It is also possible to use the power differently as to generate force shields.)

PARALLEL WILLS: Bν1C-RANKED (Allows the user to passively increase intelligence based on the number of neural links. It also allows the construction of a mana brain that allows independent thoughts and can be used for multiple purposes.)

STRENGTH ENHANCER: Bρ2D-RANKED (Depending on the amount of mana used, the amount of strength increases)

PLANT MASTER: Bπ1B-RANKED (Allows to grow and control plant based organism. The usage depends on the plant and the user\'s will.)

CHAMELEON VEIL: Bπ2C-RANKED (Allows to turn totally transparent and to project what is behind you, making it almost impossible to be seen. The user can move while using this Brain Crystal power. However, notice that the ripples in light the power creates while moving decrease the power\'s hiding abilities, increasing the chance of being seen.)

CHIMERIC BIOMETAL SOLDIER: Bο2A-RANKED (This power allows the user to create a human-worms hybrid with 50% of the user\'s physical stats. The clones are permanent, but to make them, a lot of mana is necessary; they can\'t use brain crystal powers. The clone is born from an egg, and it takes a month for them to reach maturity after having hatched two weeks after the eggs were made. Before that, their physical stats are lower than 50% of the original\'s body. The clones are half as intelligent as the main body, but know everything the main body knows when he created them. They also have several biological abilities.)

EXOSHIELD: Bσ1C-RANKED (Allow creating a mana exoskeleton.)

SOLID FROSTWIND: Bσ1A-RANKED (Allow to imbue an item with wind and frost elements. The Wind element is stronger than the frost one and allows control over the element itself. The power allows to create solidified slime weapons.)
