In Yi Chen's biological understanding from when he was alive, viruses had relatively simple structures and usually needed to be inside living cells before they could display signs of life.
Now, as a virus, he possessed a fully developed consciousness. He could even perform "aerial wriggling," microscopically control this viral body, and use abilities related to his time as a human.
After spending several hours adapting to the transition from human to virus,
following a thorough examination, Yi Chen had completed a full inspection of his own structure. He marveled at the intricacy of this viral body, which was even superior to the human body in some respects.
It was mainly composed of two major parts:
The icosahedral characteristic capsid
The Absorb-Brain enclosed within it
The characteristic capsid mainly contained the following three important components:
1. "Spikes": They had a tentacle-like structure and were distributed at the junctions between each face.
These tentacles were rooted in the capsid and directly connected to the nerves of the Absorb-Brain inside, allowing Yi Chen to control them directly.
He could achieve aerial movement through the floating tentacles, as well as rapidly parasitize different types of Sick Ones. For example, against a Sick One with a rock-layer structure, he could harden the tentacles until they took on the shape of drills.
2. "Outer Shell": There were a total of 108 faces, each of which could effectively capture and direct light inward, creating full-spectrum panoramic imaging and allowing Yi Chen to take in every image around him.
3. "Inner Shell": The sturdiest inner-layer structure, which served to cushion and protect the Absorb-Brain.
The Absorb-Brain enclosed within the characteristic capsid could be regarded as the precursor to the Mad Brain.
It was an infant brain structure still in the stage of accepting knowledge. In effect, it
