2024-10-29 19:42:56The door shuts and Levi sits down in the back of the van, face-to-face with the Empire spy, Miguel Sanchez.
“Levi.” He said with a low tone and Levi just stares at him, unreadable. Miguel nods as he rubs his neck, an embarrassed smile on his face. “Yes. I admit that the last time we met, I may have been… unreasonable.”
Levi raises a brow and folds his arms. Miguel sighs as he drops his hand to his lap. “I want to apologize for that. I was troubled and I took it out on you. And for that, I’m truly sorry.” He places a hand to his chest and bows a little.
Levi’s eyes soften a little when he saw the sincerity in his gesture. “It’s okay.” Levi said.
Miguel lifts his head back up and smiles gratefully at him. “Gracias.” He commented.
“So… I heard you want to help us?” Levi said, his tone still stoic.
<Seriously, can’t we just infiltrate

In the large briefing room, Levi looks around to take in the hundreds of agents filling the room, some known like his sister, Lucy and MJ’s father, Peter. He also caught the sight of Elsa, Alana who throws him a quick wink and Miguel who doesn’t respond to him most likely to keep their relationship a secret. Finally, the agents in charge of the briefing step onto the stage in front of the room, they were 3 in number, comprising of Nina, Francis and the head of the Index security, John who was in the form of a hologram. The four heads of the Index were present as well with the chairman, Mr Griffon all in holographic forms. John steps forward and speaks up, his tone and words commanding attention. “For those unaware of recent updates, let me start with this. The Black Empire still exists.” Some murmurs spread out in the room but John’s voice drowns them out, instantly. “They faked their disbandment and have been working under the radar for years now. We recently began investigatio
Altered Cosmos Chapter 70; Target's Diary
The mission was a success. The base was secured with all Empire forces successfully captured with barely any injuries to the Index agents talk less of a casualty.So this is a win for the Index… or it should be a win… if not for the fact that this big operation was nothing more than a wild goose chase. It was until the agents returned to their home base, that the full details were given by Mr Griffon’s other personal guard, Trent. The ‘base’ they just captured was a fake, a trick created by the Empire to distract them.Even as they fought, most of the agents noticed that some of the men they captured weren’t even armed or skilled in combat and the ones that were armed were amateurs.Most of those men were just hired goons, guys who were only in it for the cash and had no idea who they were working with and what their plans were. Only a select few of the individuals like the beastly tron Levi and Lucy fought earlier was a genuine member of the Empire but as far as they know, they wer

It’s still around 5 am in the morning as two figures continue to interact, seated by a ledge in the thick South American forest.Nina takes in a deep breath as she looks at the sky above, a smile on her face as she recalls her past. “Heh… Man, was I naïve then. Those years training with Mr Patrick were nothing compared to the few years I started in the military. And when I thought I was finally getting the hang of it, I met one of the most hard-headed men I’ve ever known.”

Back in the base around 6:50 am, all agents present for the Empire mission were paying attention to an officer with the holograms of Mr Griffon and Trent seen on the small stage.Both Veronica and Vivian suddenly sniff the air and turn with the rest of their friends where their collective shadows on the wall darkens and widens just as Levi, Lucy, Nina and Kenji step out of it. “Finally. Where were you guys?” MJ asked, staring at Nina and Levi who shared a little smile and shrugged.Kenji steps forward, his eyes fixed on the stage ahead as he speaks. “Did we miss anything?”“Just boring stuff.” Mary sighed heavily and Kenji raised a brow at her just as Amanda speaks.“They’re just giving us the details on how the Empire managed to break through security.”“They used some kind of device that enhances the ability of trons beyond its normal limits.” Hana commented and Lucy speaks as she folds her arms over her chest.“So that’s what that was. I knew that weird collar looked familiar.” Wh

And even though rumours of the Empire had already begun to spread, the world didn’t stop them from this one in a lifetime opportunity.The Southern bus finally pulls up to the Southern entrance but unlike a month ago, the entrance was now surrounded by fans and supporters. “Whoa.” Levi mumbled, staring at the crowd screaming out to them. After the bus comes to a stop, the students stepped out all casually dressed to be greeted by cheers and screams on both sides of the entrance. They walk towards the entrance, a velvet rope separating them and the fans most likely people who have witnessed their ‘heroics’ during their missions. “This is…interesting.” Jake chuckled a little as he turned to a set of girls who screamed out at him.“Hello ladies.” Craig said as he flicked hi

It’s going to be a bracket-drawn set of one-on-one battles. The fighters are free to use whatever gears in their arsenal and the winner is chosen when his/her opponent forfeits or can no longer continue the battle.”A set of worried comments began to spread not just among the crowd but the fighters too but Miss Balalaika’s next words, silences them. “To prevent any fatalities or serious injuries, the battles will be done within a Ghost-mode barrier.”The crowd murmurs in confusion and Justin quickly jump

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
