BIOLOGICAL SUPERCOMPUTER SYSTEM

As for the situation at hand, Erik only knew what one of them could do—control the earth. Not knowing what the other guys could do worried him.

<That, and the fact it is a clear tactical disadvantage.>

But he was going to take care of that now.

<I doubt the blackguards gave these guys useless secondary brain crystal powers, and I\'m sure they didn\'t waste resources in getting the best of the best for them.>

He thought. It was a long pause for him, as powered as he was by the Hydra\'s heads, but in reality, his long thoughts happened in a fraction of a second.

<In the end, I have no choices... I can\'t risk these guys killing the Chimaeric Demons…>

They had to focus on the other blackguards. Erik\'s first move was to activate Analysis.

— -Name: Unknown. Physical Description: A tall, broad-shouldered man, most likely in his mid-forties, with a sturdy build. He has short, graying, brown hair. The mask doesn\'t allow to see the facial features. Approximately standing at 188 cm.

Brain Crystal Powers: Earth Manipulation (Aα2A): The user can create, shape, and manipulate earth and stone. He can raise walls, create earthquakes, and launch projectiles. At his level, he can affect large areas and manipulate complex structures with precision.

Water Manipulation (Aη2B): Enables control over water in all its forms. The user can also create ice barriers, manipulate moisture in the air, and generate powerful water-based attacks. This complements his earth manipulation, allowing for mud and quicksand tactics.

Name: Unknown Physical Description: The man is lean and athletic, standing at approximately 175 cm tall. He has short, dark hair styled in a military cut, visible above the mask that conceals his facial features. He wears practical, dark combat gear.

Brain Crystal Powers:

Time Freeze (Aγ2A): Allows the user to slow time around him, and the user is not affected. This ability consumes a lot of mana. Time can also be frozen, but the amount of mana required is too high. At best, the user can freeze it for five seconds total before completely draining his or her mana, and that is considering a brain crystal filled with it.

Spatial Manipulation (Aδ2A): Enables the user to alter distances, warp objects, or shift locations within a limited range. This power is not as mana demanding as the Time Freeze ability, but it is still mana hungry.

Name: Unknown Physical Description: A man of average height (178 cm), most likely in his early forties with a lean build. He has short-cropped blond hair. The mask does not allow to see the facial features.

Brain Crystal Powers: Molecular Restructuring (Aγ2A): Allows the user to alter the molecular structure of non-living matter, changing its properties. At his level, he can affect larger objects and make more drastic changes, such as turning metal to rubber or stone to sand. The power can be used to make a material weaker or stronger. Aegis Morph (Aγ2A): Enables the user to generate and manipulate adaptive armor directly on his body. The armor can change form and material to respond to different threats, providing both offensive and defensive capabilities. {Attributes}

"Shit!"

The information flooded Erik\'s mind, and they brought bad news.

"These guys are almost as powerful as me!"

They were even worse than Levium in terms of physical stats alone, but that was, of course, because they got more neural links. The only difference between them and Levium was that the guy had a power that allowed him to fly and to launch whatever he wanted at Erik.

"Well, at least they can\'t fly. This means I should be able to take advantage of my physical presence."

Though their brain crystal powers worried him. The first guy, the earth user, also had water manipulation ability.

"Double Elementalist."

This made him a tough enemy. He could defend himself and attack at the same time. His control over earth and water gave him an advantage in both close fights and long-range attacks.

He could do many things with these powers, like creating mudslides or building complex structures out of stone. But Erik wasn\'t helpless. He was an Elementalist too, and on top of that, he had more than just two brain crystal powers.

<But this also means the guy will be able to counter my attacks to some degrees…>

The third one had the ability to conjure up an armor, which he could power up thanks to his first power. Potentially, this guy was unkillable, and that was simply because of his mana.

Armor-generating powers weren\'t exactly that rare, but they weren\'t even that common. Most of the powers out there allowed the user, or the thaid, to create plates that they then used in such a way as to protect their bodies. The Chimaeric Demons were an example of that.

Armor-generating powers, while not exceedingly rare, were far from commonplace in the world of brain crystal abilities. Most of the defensive-like powers allowed their users or thaids to manifest protective plates, which they then used to create some sort of armor to shield their bodies from harm.

The effectiveness of these powers depended on the user\'s skill, the power\'s rank, and the amount of mana invested in their creation.
