Altered Cosmos Chapter 123; Ticking Bomb
In the common room of Levi’s dorm, Alana fixes her attention on B who rubs her head before speaking up. “I’m sure you recall the short battle my master had with Zero almost two weeks ago.” Alana shivers as she recalls the dangerous aura Levi gave off. “How can I forget it?” She grumbled, hugging herself and B nodded sadly. “From the memories I have of him, Levi has been a person who would never act to kill another human no matter who they are. It was a vow he made to himself a long time ago.” “Vow?” Alana asked but B pays no mind to her as she goes on. “Even when he found out that Zero’s only part human, he still had some restraints on killing her. And as irritating as that trait can be sometimes, I’ve grown to love it as one of the things that made him……unique. But in that particular moment, that restraint vanished.” B trailed off. Alana creases her brows because it comes as a shock to her since he tried to stop her from killing her own teammate during the tournament despite no
Altered Cosmos Chapter 124; Game Plan
An hour after Peter’s message to Levi, Peter arrives and picks up Levi, Felix and Amanda before taking them to one of the Southern Index’s medical centres which happened to be the same hospital where Nina was transferred to on request from Levi and Peter.While they wait for a debrief of the message, Levi and Peter decided to visit Nina again.Minutes later, the two trons find themselves in Nina’s hospital room. The room was warm and completely silent other than the low beeps of the heart monitor or the steady breathing of Nina as she lays unconscious on the bed. They watch anxiously as a nurse quickly but skilfully cleans up the stitching done to Nina’s left torso.The nurse then closes up the area with the blanket and nods at them before exiting the room. Levi moves closer and takes the seat beside her bed.“Nina? It’s Levi.” He said as he reaches out and gently squeezes her arm but she was remains as unresponsive as she was for the past few weeks.His eyes darken as he stares at h
Altered Cosmos Chapter 125; Checkmate
Time passes by and the Index had already begun preparations for the Web’s scheduled exchange.All citizens in Bangui were evacuated due to a potential ‘biohazard report’ but it was nothing more than a ruse created to clear the battlefield while simultaneously serving as cover for the Index to set up the generators needed for the plan. The 7 trons that are meant to participate in the mission spent their time polishing their bodies, minds and gears.The four students involved in particular were especially tense from the preparation and their close friends could feel it. After what felt like an eternity…… the day finally arrives.With just over 4 hours left before the operation, Levi in a pair of shorts stands in front of the mirror in his room as he finally unwraps the bandages on his arms.A frown comes on his face when the last bandage falls to the ground and he stares at his arms, covered in dried up scars and a large scorch patch on his left elbow. As he runs a finger over the dee
Altered Cosmos Chapter 126; Game On
‘It’ll only take a second. That second will determine how the battle will go.’Those were the words Jake said as he detailed the trons on his plan and true to his words, in a single second after the signal was given. Callum and the last Frame disruptor now rest in the hands of the Index protected by Jake and Amanda’s gears.“Inferno!” Tornado shouts out to its twin who was blown away by Peter’s attack and stops it using its wind abilities.Zero stared at the barriers separating her from the disruptor and lets out a frustrated shout. “No!” Zero shouted out as her eyes changed colour again and she fired a very powerful energy blast at the barrier.It explodes violently upon contact, caking Amanda’s barrier in thick black smoke… but once the wind clears it up… the barrier was still standing, completely unscathed.“Give up, Zero.” She turns back to Mr Griffon who smiles confidently at her as he speaks. “We won.” She grits her teeth at him as her mask slips back on… before leaping back as
Altered Cosmos Chapter 127; Miscalculation
The time is now exactly 3:30 am in the city of Bangui which was now rifled with smoke and flames.At its central intersection, Trent grunts as he stomps onto a weakened holon twitching on the ground before aiming his blaster down on it. He pulls the trigger, creating an energy bolt that rips through the holon’s head and its body instantly goes limp. Trent moves away from the holon and looks around… where all drals, holons and trons had been defeated.“Guess that’s the last one.” He sighed as he wiped the bloody cut on his cheek before turning to Mr Griffon who speaks from some distance away.“Let’s just hope Zero has been taken care of as well.” Mr Griffon said as he turns to Trent, half of his suit burnt off while the destroyed leftover scraps from the golden holon he faced lay on the ground. Trent turns to Amanda still visible in her barrier and Jake’s Rubik cube behind her. “How you guys holding up, Amanda?” Trent asked.“We’re good.” Amanda sighed just as Jake’s voice was heard
Altered Cosmos Chapter 128; Birthday Boy
In the massive Index base located at the Genesis cite, Alana continues to hold onto Levi who tightly squeezes back.She remains silent as she thinks about what he must have gone through since she and the others were briefly informed on the mission on their way here.“I’m glad you’re okay.” Alana whispered as she strokes Levi’s back just as two more girls rushed past them to hug two other figures.Hana plants a firm kiss on Felix’s lips before hugging him. “I was so worried about you.” Hana said.“I know. I’m sorry.” Felix said as he hugs her back tightly before looking at Vivian who passionately kisses Amanda before staring deeply into her eyes.“We heard what happened. Are you okay?” Vivian asked and Amanda smiles weakly as she places a hand to Vivian’s cheek.“I’m fine, babe.” Amanda said and MJ who had just finished hugging Levi and Felix rushes over to hug Amanda as well. “Ow.” Amanda winced as MJ hugged her tightly before pulling away.“You guys must have gone through a lot.” MJ
Altered Cosmos Chapter 129; At Odds
As the world continue to remain in national turmoil from the current Bangui Incident, hidden in a secured Index base at a massive crater which was the site of the Genesis incident, a small gathering of people enjoys themselves in the festivities of Levi West’s birthday. The time is now 8 pm and Levi laughs as Mark details him the struggle with his new married life and baby. “It can’t be that bad.” Levi said as he gulped down the last of his drink and Mark grabs his shoulder with a wise-man look on his face. “Learn from my mistake. Don’t get married. It’s nothing more than pain and misery.” Mark said before suddenly wincing as Rose slaps his arm. “See?” He gestures to Rose with a glare while Levi laughs. “I’m walking away now.” Levi said as he moved away from his family and heads to the buffet table to get another cup of cold punch. “Hey.” Levi smiles when he turns to see Jackie picking up some more food beside him. “Having a good time?” She asked. “Yeah.” Levi chuckled as he ta
Altered Cosmos Chapter 130; Party's Over
Despite the still happy music playing in the background, those close enough to the two friends fighting remained in awkward silence, unsure of what to do as Levi exits the room while Felix just stares at the wall, speechless…just as a firm grip turns him around. “What did you do?” Alana grumbled as she glares at Felix who glares back at her before shrugging off her hold and moving to the buffet table. Alana continues to glare at him but after a moment, her rage turns to worry.Luckily, an oblivious Tyler changes the soundtrack playing which distract the other oblivious guests while those who saw the fight eventually returned to their festivities. Some minutes later, Felix downs a whole bottle of beer and slams the bottle down with a heavy thud, his face still angry and frustrated.“Felix?” He doesn’t turn as Hana cautiously approaches him, placing a hand on his shoulder. “Are you okay?” She asked.“Just peachy.” Felix grumbled as he popped open another bottle and gulps the cool drin

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

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

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.

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

“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
