Chapter 52: Mind expansion

After a few minutes of total mind fog I finally gather enough strength to get back up to my feet, wobbly as can be I begin to feel through my new mind and find the receptors for mana. Slowly I tune them into their efficiency distance. While realizing I actually do need one more part to complete my brain. A whole new part of my brain has to be constructed something to stop this brain from losing its thoughts to outside and inside interference like a bufferer so to speak something to slow down such things so I can think multiple topics concurrently, I didn't see anything in the menu for it maybe it needs to be something like the Prefrontal cortex I'll use that as a base the rest will have to be built from the ground up. It needs something to process and interpret magic of the Mind variety as well as holding at least ten concurrent thoughts but I'm going to shoot for as much as one hundred. Which all needs to be processed back into something legible by my main brain. I can't have it lagging behind so it looks like this third mind of mine is going to be a major extension of the first. 

As I start scraping parts together from the menu I realize there was something fundamentally flawed at work here. How will I know which to understand? I'm going to have to set something up to weigh out my decisions. Parts of the Anterior Cingulate Cortex and anterior cingulate cortex need to be morphed together and built into something that can be used for this. I need a way to channel a whole brain that isn't mine within the scope of my own mind for this to work. It looks like magic but it should do the job for now until I can find somehow to refine it. This whole thing costs me another Five Biomass.

As I finish looking through the menu I notice I have two pop up windows asking me to name my new creations for the system. After a moment of thought I couldn't think of anything cool, so I named it after my species Macabre Verdant Mane Brain. For the other one I named it Concurrent Thought Cortex. With everything in place I fire up my whole mind or at least I try to start thinking again. Slowly the fog starts lifting from my mind.

With each passing thought I begin to realize that I'm still thinking about the subject that I just left like an after image but much clearer. Soon I begin to wonder how many thoughts I'm having, which more and more intrusively displaces me within my own mind. It is almost impossible to describe it as being opened up to a hundred different possibilities every second without having anything interrupting them. I soon realize that it might be a big boon for me to attach a closer receptacle of memory to this area of the mind. I should be able to access it like ram in a computer but I want it to have a soft trigger to store it in long term memory. Maybe I should have two long term memory sections of my mind, it works but it isn't exactly refined yet. But, spending one biomass on it was worth it and it still counts toward my concurrent thought cortex. So I won't have to worry about upgrading it in the future, as it will all be one unit.

As I finish clearing my mind I begin to set my thoughts toward opening the Mind Magic channels back up. From the looks of it there are heavy trails of mana around me waiting for a response. Overall the parts of my mind that needed to be shifted around is much I just needed to weave the third mind through the second in some places and displace it in other areas. It has two hemispheres just like the main brain but it looks more like a manta ray than anything else, just sitting on the top of my brain. While the second mind I would say looks like a full face helmet with fuzzy hairs connecting everywhere even down the spine of the tail(the stem).

I can feel a whole new understanding of the other three. I know they aren't me and I'm not them but with my new brain and the puppeteering skill I could one hundred percent emulate them and anything they can do even their skills. However as It currently stands I might need another 30 upgrades to my brain before I can totally control them as if I was them. Not to say I wouldn't be able to do a good job. I just know very minutely I would be off by milliseconds and that wouldn't be good in a real fight. But If I killed their minds that would be a whole different story, I could at least control one fully with ease but two I would have trouble keeping the balance from making them act in tandem. Do you get what I'm saying? 

Looking at the particles in the air I can see the flaws of my old ways of using mind magic with the three. They should have… Oh my I can literally grab their whole consciousness and place it in my Concurrent Thought cortex, especially if I trim off there… you know what I'll leave them alone for now. No secret science experiments today… It then hits me with a euphoria of mind total mind numbness in expansion of thought. 

Without thinking I opened my Concurrent Thought Cortex all the way up. It was as if I could day dream a lifetime's worth of knowledge in near minutes. What potential would I have If I left this thing to dream about spells and their possible constructions. Like doing a long distance conjuring on a fireball spell would only require me to change so many pieces of the original fireball spell. Heck if I know how to do it yet but dreaming about it gives me hope.
