Ruby looked at Hayley.

“Back when I was in the Zion Ascetic Order, I came across something even more secretive, more powerful than us. That was Ascendant Creed.

“Almost no one on the outside knows about them. They’re a group of fanatics obsessed with what they call ‘higher truth. A theological cult, basically. They believe human life as it is now is too primitive, too weak to handle true evolution. They think higher civilizations come from outside Earth, and even the civilization we built is low-level. We’re basically trash in their eyes.” Hayley frowned. “Then don’t they think they’re trash, too?”

“They do,” Ruby said. “A lot of their members have modified their own bodies. I’m talking about cutting off their limbs and replacing them with mechanical ones. They believe machines are more advanced.”

Hayley froze.

“Yeah,” Ruby went on, “they’re a bunch of lunatics. Smart lunatics, too. Every single one of them is either at the top of their field or a high-level researcher. They all share one goal: push human evolution forward and build a stronger civilization.”

Hayley’s brows pulled tight.

“Your…ex-husband?”

Ruby let out a breath, her tense expression easing just a little. “Yeah. He was one of them. He tried to recruit me nice. I kicked him out. No way I was joining a place like that.”

Hayley blinked, unsure what to say.

“Five years ago, a meteor fell to Earth,” Ruby continued. “They found an active substance on it.”

She looked at the ampoule in her hand.

“They turned into this evolution serum.

“He told me it could trigger human evolution and generate abilities. In their experiments, a lot at attempt Kali cancer cells wiped out. Old cells started regenerating once telomerase activity dropped on The botes get been given a second life
