For so long, Erik focused on enhancing the Chimaeric Demon brain crystal power that he basically forgot to power up everything else. It had been a good choice, yes, but at the same time, it created some setbacks he now had to address.
Making more neural links for it improved the hatching speed and strength of his clones.
