Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 835

Chapter 835: Chapter 835 - Taming the Fifth Year - Mathematics of Power - End

Where a human might have 10 points in defense as an arbitrary reference value, the natural shell of a low-level creature already started at 100 points or higher. It was a fundamental difference in starting point that made beasts so superior to unfused humans in direct combat.

A human punching a Stone Lurker would break their hand before cracking it. That was the reality of the gulf between mana born and non mana born species.

But their cooperation was mutually beneficial...

The % bonuses affected the beast too.

And upon fusing something new was born, when a human combined their essence with a beast the power base was lower, the multipliers applied to that new base. You get half the beast base but didn’t just obtain the beast’s skills and bonus benefits...

A human with 10 defense fusing with a beast with 100 defense didn’t get 110 defense. They got something closer to 60, depending on compatibility and cultivation method.

The more "Yino" de method, the more power you could extract... But the "dumber" you get.

Still... It didn’t matter if you valued the mind more or the raw power.

The whole became greater than the sum of its parts.

Layer upon layer of multiplicative bonuses creating final values that bore almost no resemblance to the starting point.

Because power like that compounded.

That was what people failed to understand when they looked at Ren’s wolverine and tried to calculate its capabilities using simple multiplication. They saw "almost double the elemental control of the hydra" and thought "just double the effectiveness".

But double the "points" in elemental control meant double range, double elemental density, double precision, double speed, double sustained output, double resistance to disruption, etc. And all those factors together didn’t add up either... they multiplied together, creating compound effectiveness that far exceeded the base doubling.

An area attack with double control had 8× volume. That same attack with doubled energy density within that volume could mean 16× total damage output. Add in 2× penetration against defenses and you may be looking at 32× effectiveness against armored targets compared to the baseline.

Thirty-two times as effective in the perfect situation from "just" doubling the control points.

And that still didn’t account for the real tactical flexibility added, for being able to execute techniques others couldn’t even attempt, for having reached the ability to develop new skills as backup options when primary approaches failed.

Selphira’s smile widened slightly as she watched the confusion ripple through the more mathematically inclined observers. They were trying to calculate the wolverine’s displayed power using linear models, and the numbers kept refusing to make sense.

Good.

Let them struggle with it. Let them confront the reality that their intuitions were flawed.

Perhaps a few of them would actually learn something from the experience instead of just dismissing it as "Ren Patinder is special" and moving on. Perhaps they’d sit down with the formulas and actually work through the implications of compound multiplication instead of treating all power scaling as simple addition.
