Altered Cosmos Chapter 187; The Silver Ghost
The time is 1:44 pm and the mildly hot afternoon sun falls down on the city of New York which bustles with activity. From the loud horns of car trapped in a traffic jam, to the musicians playing music on the streets while children dance… to the two security guards standing in front of an expensive looking building. The guards turn as four vehicles arrived and stopped some distance from the stairs to the building. Some more guards emerge from the cars, armed with guns and stand to wait for the short fat bald man that later emerges from the car with a ridiculously young and beautiful woman by his side. The man smirks at the lady before moving with her towards the building… completely unaware of his feathery stalker. A black feathered eagle, turns its head periodically as it stares at the man from a tree branch before flying up, circling the building. But another strange thing about the bird is that not only was one of its eyes glowing with blue light… the other eye was more of a hum
Altered Cosmos Chapter 188; Honeymoon
About a week later, back in the sanctuary under the late afternoon sky… From the window of a room of a very tall, expensive looking apartment complex, the sound of children’s laughter and shout fills the air.Inside the now toy scattered living room, a familiar white haired man in a hoodie and jeans sits criss-cross on the ground with funny hat on his head and a grin on his face.“Okay, uncle Lefi.” Levi stifles a laugh as the one-and-a-half-year-old light skinned girl with a familiar Asian face smiles while handing out a large teddy bear to him. “You take care of Mista Fluffy.”“Thank you, Miss Alice.” Levi said with an overdramatic bow that makes the girl laugh loudly before reaching down to pick a giant black gorilla toy.“For you.” Alice said as she hands it to a similarly young dark-skinned boy with curly black hair and cute tiny glasses who huddles closer to Levi once he sees the toy. “It is good toy, Ales.” Alice said as she brings the toy closer but the boy moves further away.
Altered Cosmos Chapter 189; The Playground
About 10 hours later, Levi and Alana landed in a hidden Erased base in South America. From there, they used a public transport to attract less attention and almost 2 hours later, the train stops with a hiss.Among the passengers that exit the vehicle, Levi dressed in a black hoodie with sky-blue jeans and dark sneakers steps out and nearly chokes on the thick fumes from the old train.He looks around and frowns slightly at the old, almost broken down station with all sorts of people moving around.Levi was about to step forward before dodging as a group of young dirtied children run through the crowd with a single old security officer chasing after them. Levi then notices a heavily tattooed girl spray-painting the station walls with the image of a flaming skull.“Hey.” Levi turns to see Alana now dressed in all black beside him. “Our guy will get our stuff to the hideout.”“Okay then.” Levi mumbled as he walks forward with Alana by his side, until they reach the edge of the broken wal
Altered Cosmos Chapter 190; The Talk
A few hours later… in one of the hotels of the city, Levi with a towel around his waist, gargles on some water before spitting it into the sink in front of him. “Amprades?” He mumbled as he turns to the bathtub where Alana lies in, the soap bubbles occluding her body. “Yeah. That’s why Vander became so popular. He mass-produced and distributed them throughout the world. According to Davi, there’s no street in the world that hasn’t heard of Amprades.”Levi puts his toothbrush in its container and stares at his reflection with furrowed brows. “But still… A drug that not just heightens your senses and mind… but also temporarily gives you the powers of a tron. That sounds like…”“A breaker?” Alana asked and Levi nods. “That’s because it is.” “Really?”Alana nods as she stands up, the water dripping from her body as she exits the bath. “Mary mentioned something about a new street drug on her last mission but it’s now that we know both its name and source.” She reaches for a towel and be
Altered Cosmos Chapter 191; Dynamic Duo
In the early morning despite the still darkened sky, a loud ringing fills the air as a long building burns, sending thick puffs of black smoke into the sky.At the back of the building, the doors slide open, revealing a group of armoured men walking out with bags filled with expensive valuables.The group then stop in their tracks when they see that their getaway vans were stained with the blood of their fallen comrades…The sound of footsteps echoed and the men all raised their weapons, dropping their loot bags as Levi steps out from behind the van, some blood stains on his dark clothes.“A tron?” One of the men grumbled but Levi fixes his blue eyes on the huge long-haired brunette in the middle of the group, his eyes now wide with fear.“Drop your weapons, men.” The brunette grumbled as he tosses his gun to the ground.“Boss?” One of the men mumbled as they all looked at him in confusion.“That’s not some tron. It’s the Silver Ghost.” He said.“I thought Rebirth killed him.” Another
Altered Cosmos Chapter 192; Family Tree
The Corp HQ remains in chaos as the guards prepare for a fight below… meanwhile, the fight on top had already reached a breaking point.An unmasked Alana was now tied up by an adjacent pillar from an unmasked Levi where they watch as Olivia treats the other two goons’ wounds. Levi recalled that moment that his mind was infiltrated. It was an experience that felt both strange yet familiar at the same time.One glance at Alana, showed that she must have felt it too and judging by the way her brows knitted slightly, Levi knew she was already working to escape…“So you really do have the power to stop time.” Levi said, grabbing their attention and Alana smirked once she saw that Levi was creating a distraction for her. “That’s a very unique power.”“Thank you.” Vander said with a little bow. “It was a gift from god. To help stop madmen like you.”“Madmen? That’s a little harsh. But I gotta say. If you were a completel
Altered Cosmos Chapter 193; The Hunt
It’s now around 10 am and the hot sun shines brightly on the city of Tokyo, Japan where the famous Iwatani Labs now stands, bigger and more advanced than ever.Although, it goes by Andre Labs now when it was taken over by the current Eastern Index Head… Among the top floors of the building, a large room bustles with the activity of dozens of scientists and technicians of different shape and sizes. The sound of keys typing, metal clashing against metal and the intelligent individuals arguing filled the air.After a couple more minutes of noise, the door on the further end of the room slides open and out walks a familiar black man in a suit who shouts out to them.“I get that you’re all working but keep the noise down, will ya?!” The room quickly reduce their noises with some apologies echoed to Joseph who rubs his forehead with a sigh. “Mr Joseph?” Joseph turns to see a young well-dressed scientist who gestures to the hooded figure behind her. Once Joseph sees the figure’s blue eyes,
Altered Cosmos Chapter 194; Crooked Path
The early moon shines brightly on the dry open road and amidst the silence, a low revving sound is heard where Levi rides forward with blue eyes fixed on the town in the distance.He picks up his speed and within a couple of minutes, Levi stops and removes his helmet, revealing his confused face at the surprisingly lively town.Different vehicles and individuals move about and Levi looks up to realise that it was some kind of festival with a theme called ‘Heroes of Light’. After hiding his bike, Levi puts his hood on and wears his Erased mask before blending into the crowd.As he moves about, he looks at the different stands where there were food, games, trinkets and souvenirs. He thought just as a vendor calls for him. Curious, Levi goes over to the stand and the man was first hesitant once he noticed the mask before shaking it off to advertise his goods. “Come, strange fellow and take your pick.” As Levi looks at the merchandise, he gasps softly once his eyes c

Epilogue
As the doors to her parent’s room slide shut behind her, Eva’s eyes first meet the messy bed but Levi wasn’t on it. She turns and finds him standing by the cabinet some distance away from the bed. She wanted to speak but stops as an amused idea comes to her mind. She proceeds to sneak up to him and just when she was about to scare him, she finally notices that he was staring at a picture in his hand.Curious, she moves to get a closer look and sees that he was staring at the picture of him and Felix when they were younger. Unknown to Eva, Levi catches the sight of her eyes reflected against the frame and disappears… instantly appearing behind her and attacks with a tickle attack.“Da-Dad! S-Stop!” Eva shouted between laughs before using her own static shell to get away from him.“You let your guard down.” Levi said with a smile as he deactivates his static shell.“Sure but you don’t get to tickle me. I’m not 10 anymore.” Eva grumbled and Levi laughs as he places the picture in the ca
Chapter 230; Closure
It’s been 2 whole weeks since the defeat of the Parasites but the whole world was still buzzing about it.Not only did it help resolve the still lingering resentment of normal humans against the Index and trons in general, it also boosted the images of the Guardians to the point that they got a title upgrade… ‘The Guardian Deities’ which was ironic because the guardians were fighting beings trying to become gods in the first place.This goes especially for Levi. From the rumours about him to his revelation and his fight, his fame blew up more than the other guardians. This caused people to give him new nicknames and titles but the most notable name was the one the Spider of the Web predicted almost 2 decades ago… ‘The King of Humans’When all this new fame, respect and in some extreme cases, worship emerged, most of those so called superheroes resigned. Which was mostly due to the new bound resentment to people like them using Visor and Shade as references.Those that remained were t
Chapter 229; He Who Holds The Crown
While the world continues to rave about the fight of the Guardians against the Parasites, the Index’s top command was confronted by the revelation of an old enemy coming back for another sick game before being shocked more once they learnt that someone on their side already figured it out.“You’re saying Levi West knew about Blanca all this time?” Carolina asked and Alana nods.“Why didn’t he say anything?” Amanda asked and Alana shrugs.“I think he was worried about Blanca getting whiff of it. Even I didn’t know anything about it until 30 minutes ago.” Alana said.“He told you?” Vivian asked but Alana shakes her head.“He’s still out cold. The person who told me is the only other person who knew which also happens to be the person that’s going to kill that bastard.” Alana said with a gesture to the blank screen.“Who?” The Northern Rep asked and Alana smirks.“I believe you know an agent that goes by the nickname… the ‘Devil’s Kiss’.” Alana said and the Rep’s eyes widen in fear. “I
Chapter 228; Your Move 2
About 2 hours after the fight, in the Index’s HQ within the city… “So you have no idea who destroyed the bases?” Callum asked with narrowed eyes at Amanda’s hologram who nods.“We were running around for days trying to find it until we got a call of an attack and decided to check it out. By the time we got there, the base was already in flames and every one in that building died either from the explosion… or were killed with hollow canons.” Amanda said with concerned expression her face.“The same thing happened in Greece.” Vivian grumbled in her hologram form beside Amanda.“And South Korea.” Hunt, Vivian and Veronica’s father said with low growl in his voice as he sits across Vivian in a holographic form as well.“What about New York?” Callum asked and Amanda responds.“It was the biggest out of the four bases so the attack left the squad there a little overwhelmed with the damage. The Erased is helping with the clean-up but Diana’s replacement confirmed that the same thing happen
Chapter 227; Your Move
Barely 2 minutes ago…… “I thought you said that place was safe.” Gwen said as she runs with Nina and Peter leading them through the tunnels underground. “Emphasis on the ‘was’. Plans change.” Maeve said with a nonchalant expression that makes the children even more worried. “I hope they’re all okay.” Alex said with hopeful voice and Alice squeezes his shoulder. “They will be.” Alice said and Alex smiles… just as Eli stops with his eyes narrowed and a hand on his mask. A second later, Maeve, Nina and Peter stop too… just as an explosion occurs several metres behind them. “Whoa.” Cyrus grumbled as he stumbles and turns with widened eyes as the flames from the explosion suddenly barrels through the passage towards them. “Get behind-” Peter grunted as he tries to use her steel form but stumbles just as Eli steps up with his mask down. “Eli!” Alex said as the flames and debris continue to approach him with terrifying speed but Eli remains calm as he takes a deep breath. Seeing this
Chapter 226; Thick As Thieves 2
In one of the four battlegrounds…Cain was now on the ground; eyes widen as their body crumbles away with a reflector seen activated on their chest.They look up and flinch as Hana, Rana and Camie despite being all injured in different places with varying severity, stand around him with the familiar amprade glowing under their skin and their eyes.“How is this possible?” Cain grumbled.“Boosted or not, you were still only capable of using two gears simultaneously. With three seeming to be your limit if you push yourself hard enough." Rana said."But there’s only so many combinations that could work and I’ve fought a monster that could use dozens of different gears simultaneously. Compared to Zero, you’re nothing.” Hana added with a cold tone in her voice.“No.” Cain mumbled with tears in their eyes as they raise an arm to them. “Help… Gil… Mum…” Cain arm finally crumbles away into nothing… followed by the rest of their body.The same event occurs in another place… where Zack was now o
Chapter 225; Thick As Thieves
Hidden beneath the chaos caused by the fights above… Nina grunts from the burns on her arm which Maeve tends to. “Are you okay?” Cyrus asked and Nina grunts as Maeve ties her wounds. “Yeah. I just feel stupid for trying to stop her.” Nina grumbled and a pained laugh draws her attention to Peter who was even more injured with Gwen tending to him. “That’s what we get for forgetting she’s Einstein’s little girl. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” Peter said before wincing as Gwen washes his wounds. “Still… I thought she was trained assassin. Going this far was too much especially since Mr Levi’s still alive.” Maeve grumbled with a glance at the screen where Levi was seen arguing with Eva before being caught up in a smoke bomb attack, blocking them from sight. “I can understand her emotions. Even I’m fighting the urge to go especially since I can’t even see my father.” Barry said with a frown at one of the screens which only shows the ice fortress with the faint sight of flam
Chapter 224; Unbelievable
“Dad!!!!!!” Eva shouted as she jumps to her feet with her widened purple eyes fixed at the now hollow ground where Levi was standing without a single trace of him left. “I don’t believe it.” Peter mumbled with shocked eyes while Nina tightly clenches her fists with a pained but still hopeful look in her eye.“Eva.” Alice said as she turns to Eva who was beginning to hyperventilate.“No. No. No. No.” She continues to mumble with tear streaming down her cheeks. Alice and some others move to comfort her but Nina and Peter quickly stop them as black markings begin to crawl onto Eva’s body.“Please. No.”Meanwhile…Blanca just stares with completely shocked eyes at the hollow ground where Levi was standing while Gilgamesh smiles evilly.He then turns back to Blanca who quickly stops time again… before gasping as Gilgamesh’s hand tears another rift that allows him to enter the time stopped world again. “No. Stay away.” Blanca said as he turns to run before gasping as Gilgamesh was now in
Chapter 223; Grit
12:54 pm…Under the hot afternoon sun, the Sanctuary continues to be bombarded with the chaos created by the parasites.But due to the efforts of the Index, virtually all civilians were safely evacuated to safe points where they, along with the rest of the world watch, via news drones, the battles between these new enemies and the only humans capable of fighting them……In one part of the city, Valentina stands with heavy breaths escaping her mouth while the several cuts on her body continue to heal quickly.She laughs as she looks up to Veronica with some bruises who growls with blood stained claws. “I’d say I underestimated you, Wolf. Your claws are even sharper than the Reaper’s scythe.”Veronica suddenly scoffs. “Wrong again.” Valentina furrows her brows in confusion which makes Veronica smile with beastly sharp teeth.“If you think my claws are sharper than Hana’s blades then she must have really held back when she fought you.”“Is that right?” Valentina chuckled as the last of he
