Bab 140: The Qualities of Ascendant Corpses

Zorvax stood silently, his gaze intently focused on the five Ascendant corpses arrayed before him. He crouched down for a closer inspection, his eyes methodically scanning each body.

These corpses would appear indistinguishable from ordinary humans to any onlooker, but Zorvax knew better. There was more to these beings than met the eye, and he was determined to uncover it.

"Appearances can be deceiving," he murmured to himself, his voice low and thoughtful. As he observed them, his hand subconsciously stroked his chin, a gesture that bespoke his deep concentration and curiosity.

Realizing that a mere visual assessment would not suffice, Zorvax decided to consult his system for a more detailed analysis. He straightened up and activated the interface, his eyes flicking over the holographic screen that appeared before him.
