The Omnimous still didn't know what to think of Sylas. By the ti he chose to abandon the Al enhancent path of doing things, Sylas had gone so far down the rabbit hole that the Omnimous' internal mory-those that remained anyway-was already beginning to trigger.
Sylas' last idea before he abandoned everything was actually a form of body mutation. Rather than only relying on the Al alone, he planned to not only commandeer other sections of the brain, but even the body itself.
There were large segnts of the brain completely devoted to other matters-for example, keeping the heart pumping, or emotional regulation, or fear responses. Not everything was related to mory and intelligence.
However, while the structures were different, the building blocks were mostly the sa. If he could create a device that could temporarily take over these regions of the brain, using every corner for high-level processing, and then repackaging them and shrinking them down to the regions that did focus on these things, he could improve his own capacity by several hundredfold without having to rely on an Al at all.
If he used the Al in conjunction with this, improving synapse speed and making up for weaknesses these other areas of the brain might have in comparison to the frontal cortex, then the efficiency wouldn't be just hundreds of fold better-it would be in the thousands or tens of thousands.
At that point, Sylas thought... why stop there?
The entire body was flooded with neurons in so capacity. Much the sa way it was possible to use a broom instead of a crowbar as a lever in the right situation, if he tweaked things enough, he could probably turn his entire body into a data center focused on processing information.
While it would be far less efficient than his brain in this aspect, if he strategically targeted regions and focused on using them as a supplent instead of a mainstay, he could bring out even more processing power.
And this was just when he considered raw biology. What if he started considering the actual layers of his body? Things like his Comprehensions and further?
This was far more complex and probably required more understanding than what an F-tier would have, but it was very much possible nonetheless.
Even if all these extra branching paths failed and all Sylas managed to do was to use 100% of his brain to focus on processing information... it would have been a shocking feat.
If the Omnimous was correct—and it always was-this thod was crafted by the Zeus Clan originally three Chaos Epochs ago. They were the origin of Demi-God children only because when their children were outfitted with such a thing right from birth, they learned faster than reason should dictate.
The Omnimous didn't waste much thought on the details of those actions, but this was enough to prove that this path was viable.
Yet Sylas had thought of a workable thod of replicating it in just three days...
Before abandoning it entirely.
He didn't feel like it was good enough.
No. The thod alone was decent. That was Sylas' assessnt of it. But it relied too heavily on himself. While this was a path Sylas usually loved, the issue was that A-Grade dley was sothing that was external.
If Sylas chose this thod, he would end up using A-Grade dley as a glorified healing item to stop his brain from shredding apart too quickly, and while that might work, it was highly inefficient.
In addition, if he was relying on his body to heal itself while it was being altered by an external item, then he might permanently reconfigure his brain, and that might not be the best thing.
He was too inexperienced in these sorts of biological matters, and he doubted his device would be perfect. How could he allow it to make permanent changes?
But if he had to actively direct A-Grade dley to not just heal, but heal the exact way he craved, that would eat up another huge chunk of his ntal capacity.
Ultimately, the odds of this thod working were... 70%.
"Not good enough."
The Omnimous didn't say a word, but the Zeus Clan... they weren't the head of so small, insignificant society.
They were a Class 7 A-tier Race. They had built all of their success on this thod. But Sylas was abandoning it.
Three days.
Sylas heaved for breath, but he couldn't seem to regain his brain no matter how hard he tried. It seed that he had really pushed himself too far, but this just felt... unacceptable.
Maybe it was because of the frustration of restraining himself from using his Rune Mastery, but usually, he didn't have this much trouble with discipline and restraint.
The problem was that this was the first ti in a long while he was restraining himself from doing sothing he actually liked.
Was it really discipline if you were only depriving yourself of things you didn't care for all that much anyway?
'The brain. I don't...'
Sylas' pupils constricted, and his hands began to move.
In less than an hour, Sylas had created an imaging machine that would have made him the richest man on Earth. It had one sole purpose: to image his entire brain.
It was based on photon imaging, sothing that existed on Earth, but had a very limited depth. Sylas crafted it so that it could map out his entire brain and every individual neuron.
When he was finished, he began to construct sothing new.
The Omnimous was quickly finding itself sliding back into previous mories. So much of what it knew had been deleted. It could only recall very limited details about civilizations important enough to recall on a large scale, and this Sylas Grimblade... Another hour later, Sylas placed a tiny cube on the welded table. It opened up, revealing what looked like a single point needle.
However, the Omnimous knew what it was. It was an item constructed of particles that perfectly replicated the structure of the neurons in Sylas' brain.
'He wants to turn his mind into a quantum computer, entangling his neurons with an external source and computing through both at the sa ti. The trouble is that quantum computers are very poor at processing defined and strict things. Arithtic, word processing, even common everyday tasks... 'But he's not using the concept of quantum computing as a whole. His brain and this computer he's created to entangle with it are acting independently. Yet, because they're entangled, sothing that one figures out will automatically influence the other, triggering a change that—while not making what happened clear and obvious to the other-would make a subsequent grasp of it far easier...'
Essentially, Sylas was using an external computer mapped to his brain to pri neurons of his that had yet to fire so that when he ca across a mont when he needed to make a sudden connection... It would happen far
faster.
'If he scales this...'
And yet, the only reason Sylas chose this path was because if his brain was entangled with an external object... A- Grade dley could truly display its might.
He didn't care about the technology itself at all. All he cared about was what was more effective toward his goals...
Despite the fact that, let alone Earth, it could have made him the richest man in the entire Heaven.
However, how was Sylas going to program sothing as complex as that?
Sylas' Will blood, and the Omnimous pulsed with light in recognition.
It seed it had chosen well.
BANG.
Then it was surprised again when Sylas destroyed the secondary brain.
