Chapter 83: The Truth Of Aether(1)
My brain raced at the new information I had just collected, as I tried to understand everything on a deeper level.
Limitless had immunity to Aether, but Ascendants don’t?
Then what’s the point of all the surgeries they go through?
"You mean Ascendants don’t have immunity to Aether energy?" I asked again, and Jake nodded with a patient smile.
It seemed this part made him happy, which was dark—but I guess he had personal reasons. It’s not like Ascendants were good people. In fact, I was certain they looked down on normal soldiers, considering themselves elite.
With that in mind, it was possible Jake had been bullied by them on numerous occasions. That must be the reason their limitations excited him.
"Of course they don’t," Jake replied, a flicker of excitement in his tone.
"The Biogenic surgery has four stages. Most of the Ascendants you’ve seen are Stage One. High-ranking ones, like the late Colonel Adin, were Stage Two."
Jake rubbed his chin, thoughtful. "I think America only has one Stage Three Ascendant. No one’s reached the fourth stage yet."
At the mention of Colonel Adin, my brows narrowed.
Remembering how the man died in my world still annoyed me. I never got the chance to use him as my Blood Thrall.
