Super-Computational Brain:
You felt one brain wasn’t enough, so your body began to mutate.
You started to continually generate new sub-brain tissue.
Your cognitive capacity increased with the number of sub-brains.
The number of sub-brains depends on the biological structure of the body.
Your current sub-brain limit is 4.
"Isn’t this essentially a biological computer..."
Brian muttered to himself.
Carrying a few biological computers around, wouldn’t your thinking speed skyrocket?
Filled with curiosity, Brian checked what his form would look like after obtaining this talent.
A ’Brian’ with three heads appeared before him.
Of the three heads, only the central one looked no different from the Brian of now, while the two smaller heads were squished together to the left and right of the normal-sized brain.
The most absurd thing was that these things, worthy of being called sub-brains, lacked external features like eyes, noses, ears, and mouths, possessing only the contours of a human face on their bald surfaces, which displayed the unsettling wrinkles of brain tissue.
Besides, in the image, Brian’s two pectoral muscles were also occupied by two protruding faces.
Yes, the remaining two heads were growing from Brian’s chest.
Probably because this area was close to the heart and facilitated nutrient absorption.
Brian closed the image display with disgust.
This was an ability he really wanted.
Any normal person would want it.
The problem was, its physical appearance was just too disgusting.
He wasn’t some humanoid octopus or other tentacled monster with enough appendages to support those sub-brains.
If he really chose this talent,
These conspicuous sub-brains would become weaknesses in his body.
"Such a pity for this talent..."
With a sense of regret, Brian continued to look at the explanations for the remaining two talents.
Your skin underwent a miraculous change.
You could capture the external environment’s brilliance and physical features perfectly, passively or actively altering your skin color to blend into your surroundings.
Your skin could decipher all types of external wave refractions, mimetically absorb them, and eliminate the refraction phenomena.
You were born into an ancient and noble civilization.
You were a descendant of a forgotten civilization’s lingering bloodline.
You had forgotten your ancestors’ glory, but their bloodline still protected you.
Maintain the purity of your bloodline.
Perhaps one day, you might rediscover the history of that lost empire.
Upon reading the introductions to these two talents, Brian’s consciousness uttered a surprised and dubious sound.
Both of these talents had some issues.
Take ’Super Mimetic Skin’ for example.
This was basically the color simulation of octopus skin, similar to a chameleon.
However, compared to a chameleon, octopuses are much faster at integrating into their environment, not only in skin color changes but also in body tissue alterations, perfectly blending both color and form.
’Super Mimetic Skin’ is just a part of the octopus’s innate Mimetic Environment Talent.
This must be because Benjamin’s mutation wasn’t complete when Brian killed him, resulting in an incomplete inheritance of the ’Deep Sea Diver’ talent.
Brian didn’t underestimate this half-talented ’Super Mimetic Skin.’
The amount of Gift Energy Units it deducted was enough to showcase the value of this talent.
Of course, it’s also possible that for an octopus-like soft-bodied tentacled creature, physical mimicry isn’t considered much of a talent, which is why it hadn’t formed into something special.
As for Benjamin’s toxin talent, it wasn’t present here, possibly embedded within that Heritage Bloodline talent.
Brian looked at the form he would take upon fusing with this talent.
A void appeared before Brian.
At first, he was startled, but then it dawned on him that it wasn’t a void, but ’him,’ perfectly blended into the surrounding environment and refracting its light.
In layman’s terms, he had become optically invisible.
"Damn, this ability would be badass in modern times!"
He was already capable of blocking his body’s scent, and with invisibility on top of that, wouldn’t that mean he could do whatever he wanted in the future?
It just wasn’t clear whether this ability would be affected by motion.
Along with his thought,
A light ripple appeared unobtrusively in the otherwise empty scene.
This was a strange phenomenon, akin to the air, which should have been empty, suddenly revealing a blurry human silhouette.
Which means, if he moved slowly, it would be hard for ordinary people to notice the invisible Brian, but for those with enhanced vision or other non-human enhancers, they would still sense something off.
However, as ’Brian’ in the image sped up, the exposed outline became increasingly blurred, to the point where anyone seeing it would likely just think their eyes were playing tricks on them.
This was really great.
More importantly, according to the explanation, ’Super Mimetic Skin’ talent could analyze all external wave refractions, mimic absorption, and eliminate wave refraction phenomena.
Light is actually just a part of the electromagnetic spectrum and a very small segment that living eyes can capture.
Many human sensory detection devices also use similar principles.
That means the ’Super Mimetic Skin’ talent is immune to modern advanced equipment’s scrutiny.
That’s really impressive.
This talent, if possessed by an ordinary person, would probably lead them to do rather sneaky things, like peeping on people bathing or stealing.
