Chapter 828 New System's function
Erik stood amidst the grisly aftermath, his gaze fixed upon the scene of carnage that sprawled before him.
The sight was overwhelming—thousands of bodies strewn across the floor, each one bearing the gruesome marks of Erik's merciless hand.
Men, women, young, old, it mattered not; Erik spared no one in that shitty hole these guys called headquarters.
June went to kill Death, the assassin, while he took care of the others.
Among the lifeless forms littering the ground, he recognized some familiar faces—individuals he had encountered in the past, prowling the streets, peddling drugs, beating up the innocents.
For once, things turned out to be relatively easy and without sudden twists. There were no sudden revelations or unforeseen obstacles to thwart his progress, and each time he killed an enemy, he felt a dark satisfaction.
Yet, even as Erik reveled in his moment of triumph, he knew that the true impact of his actions would only become clear with time.
The seeds of change he had sown lay buried beneath the blood-stained earth, awaiting the moment they would blossom into tangible results.
Erik surmised this would make Volkov's plans harder. Finding people would not be easy, since he often asked Howell for them based on what he read about Howell's documents.

As for the Blackguards, the Crystal Cross Gang was the major supplier of bodies, people and organs in Frant. Of course, they had someone else to ask for, especially in other countries and cities, but at least here, in New Alexandria, the scale of their operation was going to reduce.
It was at that moment, while he was looking at the bodies of his enemies, he remembered something.

{Powers}
[Biological Super Computer Powers]
Brain Crystal Manipulation
Brain Crystal Power Extraction
Brain Crystal power Merging
Brain Crystal Power Analysis
Brain Crystal Power Editing
(Allows to change A Brain crystal power to achieve the desired effect. The changes could be about their destructive power, utility, and mana consumption. This system's power must be used with DNA Editing. It uses DNA points and stored energy to make the changes, but depending on the situation, it may ask to undo some of the changes previously made to the DNA, hence potentially losing stats.)
Brain Crystal Power Strengthening
(LOCKED)
DNA Manipulation
DNA Extraction
DNA Merging
DNA Analysis
DNA Editing
(Allows to change the DNA to accommodate changes made through Brain Crystal Power editing. They must be used in tandem. It uses DNA points and stored energy to make the changes, but depending on the situation, it may ask to undo some of the changes previously made to the DNA, hence potentially losing stats.)
DNA Strengthening
(LOCKED)
Analysis
(Gives the host information about his surroundings, plants, creatures, and ores.)
Brain Information Injector
(It allows the injection of information directly to the brain. Based on touch)
Device Manipulation
(Allows the Host to manipulate electrical and mana-driven devices. Based on touch)

Erik observed the status, everything, as it should have been. However, he went to the System's powers, and then he saw it. BCP and DNA Editing.
"What the fuck?" Erik read the description the system gave him of the power. He focused on some words: 'Change A Brain crystal power' and 'potentially losing stats.'
<System, what is the meaning of this? >
[ANSWER: This power has been created to change existing Brain Crystal Powers. The problem is that is very energy extensive. Most of the times, the user's DNA points won't be enough. Hence, the system will need either the stored energy accumulated through killing or getting neural links.]
<Ok, but why I may lose stats? It makes little sense. How can it change my DNA and bring it to a previous state? >
[ANSWER: The DNA alteration process is experimental. There's a risk of unintended effects. Changes in your genetic code might revert certain traits. It's like rearranging a puzzle; sometimes, pieces end up in unexpected places.]
That made sense. DNA changes influenced biological processes. The system made use of this to change his body, hence his statistics increased. One alteration could lead to others, affecting Erik's overall performance.
"So, it's like a chain reaction?" Erik asked.
[ANSWER: Yes.]
If that was true, and of course it was, this new power may have been a huge blessing, or something that could spell his doom.
<What can I do to mitigate the risk? >
The system didn't immediately reply. It was like it was processing information to find a solution. However, the answer it gave was very disappointing.
[ANSWER: Insufficient data. The power is experimental. ]
"Fuck…"
Then June arrived. Within his hands, there was a head. The clone grabbed it by its hair.
"That must be Death."
Indeed, he was. However, June must have taken off his usual mask, because all Erik saw was an old man with an enormous pair of mustache and black hair.
"I've returned, Master. I've completed the task."
Erik nodded. "You did well, June. However, we still aren't done. I plan to do something else here in New Alexandria before leaving."
June grinned. His intuition was telling him Erik was about to stir up trouble. Though lacking concrete proof, he felt certain of Erik's intentions.
"What are we going to do, master?"
Erik looked at his clone, his creation. "We are going to prison."
