"He is strong despite using a tiny fraction of his full power," A Mother of Nature whispered in the depths of the flora network. "It is alarming that he has found a low-effort solution that completely negates one of our most common means of defense."
"We will have to formulate defenses against this new solution," another Mother of Nature mused. "We cannot allow such a fundamental flaw in our defenses to remain. Not even the evolutionaries have ever developed such a creative solution against us."
"Sound-absorbing wood, perhaps."
"There are species of flora whose leaves absorb sound. Perhaps we can create a multi-layered defense system with those leaves. We can update the DNA of the Genoran Plant Kingdom in the next generation of biotechnology."
The dark elves of Genora did not undergo a continuous change in biotechnology but in discrete generational transitions.
The reason for this was simply logistical in nature.
