Genome tree explanation

"Ojou-chan, could it be that you do not know anything about your Gift?"

"Eh?"

"The [Genome Tree] is a Gift that can create a Genome Weapon.
The possessor will definitely transform into a mutant beast by sampling data
on the other races through physical contact......Could it
be that you are using it without knowing what it is?"

Yō held her breath as she clutched her pendant that her father had given
to her.

"Physical contact......Sampling.....?"

"That‘s right. The strong attack that you threw at me earlier originated
from the strength of the Titans. You should still be able to recall right?
The battle with the Titans when they attacked [Underwood] a few days
ago, you must have come into contact with them."

Hearing that, Yō felt as though her heart had stopped for a while.
Needless to say, Yō definitely remembered the time that she was
knocked away by the Titan in battle but never did she think that with just
that physical contact, she would have obtained a new Gift.

"......No, before that, shouldn‘t the Gift‘s power originate from the proof of
being close to that other race?"
