I didn't die from exhaustion the first time I transformed into a dragon. I died because my genes collapsed.
After I transformed, my body's genes sent back some information. Although after transforming, my surface
consciousness was no different from an ordinary
human's, my subconscious was far more powerful than a human's, and I could even communicate with it in simple terms.
My subconscious could influence the direction my genes took to a certain extent, and it could also read genetic data.
I felt that my subconscious's computing power had almost reached the level of a quantum computer. Even when I used electricity and controlled it precisely, all my surface consciousness had to do was form a single thought,
and my subconscious took care of all the remaining calculations.
This wasn't fantasy.
The human subconscious was already smarter than the surface consciousness; it just lacked the ability to act on its own, and was difficult to communicate with.
Being able to communicate with the subconscious as simply as I could was even more difficult.
And the calculations electricity required weren't anything like the "personal reality" from A Certain Magical Index. They involved figuring out how the muscles in my arms needed to move, and
how they had to move for the electric current to follow my thoughts.
Even with a method of detection like electromagnetic echo waves, which worked like radar, most of the calculations were still handled by my subconscious.
I only gave the command. Then my subconscious calculated how many electric waves to use and at what frequency, analyzed the waves that came back, and formed a three-dimensional image. That was why a 3D image appeared in my mind whenever I used electromagnetic echo waves.
And even more mysteriously, my third eye had opened... Well, the human third eye
