The Wizard
Though Leon might be perplexed, the Chip would never be!
The Chip was dynamically monitoring every single piece of data within Leon's body; it could detect or even predict the upcoming transformation through the movement of its graphs for all of the functions in his body. If he continued to receive the endless supply of mutated energy that had no filtration and sorting, perhaps he could form a random and unknown conscious core.
But once the mutated energy supporting this transformation faded away, he would suffer a devastating fall. It wouldn't even matter if the conscious core shattered, because at that point in time, even his soul would not be able to escape from the dreadful backlash that came from failing in advancement.
It was time for the counter attack! He couldn't afford to wait until the moment his conscious core formed or he would lose the chance of using his Fire element innate talent as the core to form his own conscious core!
