2024-10-29 19:42:56“What is this? Let me out!” The banging sounds continue and Rubik walks forward and stops in front of the dark cube, his face completely calm. “I can sense you, human. What is this?!”
Rubik sighs and rubs his neck as he responds. “A capture gear I created. I call it the Rubik’s cube and it will be the last thing you’ll ever see.” There was a brief silence, followed by the hysterical laughter of the figure inside.
“You’ve really impressed me. To come up with such a trap while simultaneously fending off my attacks. You must be some kind of genius.”
Rubik stares at the cube in doubt just as sudden louder ‘bang’ sound was heard as the holon punches the cube. “You fool! Do you really think ‘this’ would stop me?! I can blow this flimsy thing apart in one swift shot.”
Rubik turns around with arms folded and he shrugs as he speaks. “Go ahead.”

Altered Cosmos Chapter 40; In-Sync
In a limitless space filled with the only the colour white, two figures were seen staring at each other.Levi breathes heavily, his clothes a little ripped as he stared at B who remains standing, hands behind her back… and 3 pairs of metallic spider-looking arms extending from her back.As Levi wipes his mouth, B speaks. “Come on, Master. You can do better than that.” Levi grits his teeth and charges forward as B’s spider arms readied for battle, their sharp ends reflecting some light…Levi lets out a shout as he leaps into the air, performing a high-speed front flip that sends his heel down on B who doesn’t move a muscle as one of her arms blocked his attack effortlessly.Levi flips back to the ground and charged at her again, throwing different skilled attacks but B’s arms are too fast as they block every single attack with B glaring at him. “Come on, Master.”Levi plants a foot
Altered Cosmos Chapter 41; Return
“You’re full of interesting surprises, Levi.” B said with a cheeky smile that makes Levi step back.Before he could speak again, his senses spike as he notices a large number of trons fade away instantly.He clenches his fists and B narrows her eyes when she read his mind. “I know what you’re thinking and I completely disagree with it.”Levi glares at her as he responded. “There are people dying out there. Because of me. I can’t sit here and do nothing.”“You’re not doing nothing. You’re still in training until you’re ready to finalize the contract.”Levi steps toward her, a more intense glare in his eyes as he points in a random direction. “Lives are being lost as we speak and you want to continue training. Don’t you care about them at all?”“No, I don’t.” She answered abruptly and Levi steps back a little shocked mostly b
Altered Cosmos Chapter 42; Final Clash
Levi’s eyes glance at his environment, a once grassy plain now an almost decimated wasteland as a result of the battle.Large boulders, strange structures as a result of photron energy and of course, the sprawled out bodies of soldiers who lost their lives in this battle.“So all this…is his fault?” Levi asked as he turns back to Gideon with a glare and clenching of his fists. “Who is he?”Nina’s grip tightens on her gun still pointed at the culprit as she responds. “Sir Gideon of the Index Board. He’s also a rat for the Web, leaking information about the Index…” Nina glances at Levi as she finishes. “And… you.”Levi’s fist tightens more as he commented. “I see.” He turns back to the man and after a quick second of thought, he immediately recalls meeting a certain Mr Gideon the first day Peter brought him to get his Index band. “I remember
Altered Cosmos Chapter 43; Side By Side
“Huh?” Levi mumbled as his energy suddenly disappear mid-flight, causing his body to fall and hit the ground like a skipping stone. His body skids to a halt and he grunts as he tries to move. “What the hell?”<Damn it.> B grumbled in annoyance and Levi looks at his chest.<What’s happening?> He asked with a grunt.<Our gears accelerated energy usage far beyond my calculations.>“Ugh… meaning?”“He can’t move?” Levi looks up and notices Gideon stepping towards him with a grin on his face.Titus speaks out his chest, his annoyingly calm voice irritating B the more. “It seems my sister performed an incomplete link. It overwhelmed the human’s body and affected his matrix.”“Thus, his immobility?” Gideon asked.“Precisely.” Titus answered and Gideon grins at Levi who grunts in pain on the ground, some
Altered Cosmos Chapter 44; Snap
Levi glares at Gideon several yards away, raw aggressive energy around his body. <It’s my fault.> He echoed in his mind, as he continues to picture the injured Uncle Mark and the tortured Lucy.But in between those thoughts, an image of a young boy bleeding out on the ground crosses his mind as well.“I won’t let that happen again.” He mumbled as his energy rises even more, causing the earth to shake beneath them.The energy was so much that the still evacuating agents turned to see a bright blue light in the middle of the battlefield.Nina steps away from the van, her eye focused on the light as a harsh cold wind blows past her. “Kid…” She mumbled as the source of the energy surge continues to pulse out.Then, Levi steps forward, a foot at a time, the wind howling around him. “Levi. Levi!” Lucy called out, a hand on her dislocated arm but Levi doesn’t even pay attention to her. She
Altered Cosmos Chapter 45; Settled
After all the chaos… there was finally silence…… a peaceful wind blows through the completely decimated battlefield where Levi grunts as he forces himself to stand, a wave of relief finally washing over his body as he stares at the now harmless weapon on the ground in front of him.Lucy suddenly groans in pain and Levi turns back to her, worried as she attempted to stand. “You’re hurt, Lucy.”Lucy chuckles as she pushes herself to her feet. “I’ve been worse, lil bro.” She stumbles a little and Levi grabs her, placing an arm over his shoulder. They share a little smile…“Freeze!” They turned to see a group of the special Index security unit agents, pointing their powerful weapons at them.“Nobody moves!” The captain said as he inches closer to them. Levi glances back to see that B had already returned to his body just as the man spoke again. “You three are coming
Altered Cosmos Act 2- Bonds
Several years ago, war and conflict had shaken the entire world and everything in it. The highly artificial intelligence unit collectively called the Spider Web continues to threaten the very existence of the human race but the human race being a stubborn one at that, fights back against this threat. Specifically, the association known as the Index, the largest association in human history with its main mission being the combat unit to deal with this threat by using humans who were affected by the commonly known phenomena known as Genesis. These humans are called Trons, people capable of performing super-human feats and wielding amazing powers. But most of these agents were first trained, either by direct supervision under a professional tron agent or by the numerous Tron academies before being sent to one of the four Tron Colleges for their final training. It’s been about 10 months since a certain tron, Levi West joined the Tron College under the con
Altered Cosmos Chapter 46; The Next Step
It was a chilled afternoon and the cool breeze blows through a peaceful forest in Ethiopia, Africa. But on one of the tallest trees, a blonde figure remains concealed.A faint violet aura around her body as she stares out in the distance, using a small telescope to she focuses at the moving dust cloud speeding through the forest.She monitors the movement of the cloud and turns to the predicted path where a forest clearing could be seen.“The target’s coming your way, Unit B.” She mumbled to herself as she watches the dust cloud speeding towards the clearing.Meanwhile, the moving dust cloud was just the result of a stampede of bizarrely large greenish furred hyenas, their usual ‘laughing’ like sounds now replaced by their dral like growls as they stomp across the forest, the ground grumbling beneath them.As predicted, the herd approaches the forest clearing… where a figure leaps out of the bushes and sla

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.

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

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

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
