I personally believe the only thing actually preventing the MC from surpassing Ella's usage of the Body trait is experience and power at this point. Her complete atomic control actually is replicable by the MC. At least in his post-evolutionary haze, but that's just a taste of what's to come. Completing the Deryl-Rebis fight perfectly has the Level 3 MC pull off a Level 5 Ella's complete atomic control on pure instinct just to prevent Laurie's head from detonating to mush. If he can pull it off on another person, which was previously shown to be a weak point in the MC's skills, then he could definitely learn to apply it to himself eventually.
If my memory is correct (which to be fair, it isn't flawless) the only thing that Ella's done that the MC hasn't shown the potential to do is her ability to assess genetic compatibility, visually see someone's level of Monster Power and alter things without physical contact. And even this could change as he still has two evolutions to go.
Though I could use the MC sucking at repairing brains while Ella can do it with ease like with Mia and Laurie as an example of her fine control surpassing the MC, the former was at the MC's Level 2 and the latter honestly seems like a plot hole in hindsight. He says the reason why he couldn't fix Laurie flawlessly is because he lacked memories of women with her body type, but one, he's literally touching her and two it's possible for him to have been in her head and rummaged around her memories at that point.

You need sufficient Deryl win points in the Deryl-Rebis fight on day 99. Hesitate against Deryl Tertius w/ power>=100 (the hydra-like one), have skill>=28 and break the sword he's building before he finishes it. A guide to the game is linked here: https://attachments.f95zone.to/2023/11/3110567_Official_Superhuman_Walkthrough.pdfI remember reading somewhere that you can save Laurie, how I thought it was a part of the story and unavoidable.
