Nope. You have to destroy buildings, destroy crystals, or stand by huge crystals to charge the Critical Mass meter (its a power level. As the meter grows, you become more powerful. Then, you reach critical mass, which is the monster literally exploding with power. You can even charge the meter while in Critical Mass mode, to STAY in that mode). So ya, you have a choice. Become corrupt with power and go into Critical Mass, avoid ever going into that mode and gain allies, or get power, but avoid Critical Mass.
Oh, and Critical Mass isn't all good. Your defense goes down, you loose faction points with peaceful factions, power-hungry monsters will attack you to become more powerful, and you are drained of energy when you leave that state.
You can also use Critical Mass as a weapon. Suppose you are Godzilla fighting Gigan. You make Gigan destroy a few Crystals and go into Critical Mass. You leave the fight (I think you can run if you wish). Gigan will be attacked by ALOT more monsters now that he has gone into Critical Mass. He will even be attacked by his own faction!
