Elliot rubbed his hands together excitedly.
He was already looking forward to a stronger Maeve.
These two should count as passive enhancements, an ascension in certain aspects.
What he would choose next, however, would be new talents.
The sound of mechanical gears came from the Difference Engine, and a new surface appeared.
The familiar three options spread out before him again.
[Blood Cocoon]: You wrap yourself in flesh and blood, becoming a massive blood cocoon. While inside the blood cocoon, you cannot move or cancel the process, and you continuously draw vitality from everyone nearby. After a period of time or once absorption is complete, the blood cocoon will break open, granting an enormous increase in power across the board.
Elliot froze at the sight of this option.
This talent looked really powerful!
Maeve's biggest problem now was that, although she could take plenty of punishment and could turn invisible, her raw strength was still somewhat lacking. She could only rely on her bulk to hold out.
Otherwise, she and the Genesis School would never have ended up eating each other in a perpetual-motion loop, neither able to kill the other.
Now, this [Blood Cocoon] was almost a perfect fit. She could endure with her powerful recovery and ability to withstand blows, then emerge from the cocoon stronger in every respect!
Almost reluctantly, Elliot looked away and turned to the next option.
[Pre-digestion]: You can spit out a mass of digestive fluid. Any being covered by it will be digested, continuously losing vitality, strength, memories, and knowledge. You will simultaneously gain what the enemy loses.
This talent made Elliot pause.
Spitting digestive fluid at the enemy, making them continuously lose health and strength-that was easy to understand.
But how could it even acquire things like memories
