Altered Cosmos Chapter 72; Target's Diary 3
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.”

Levi continues to listen closely as Nina still speaks of her past. He visualizes the scenes in his head as she goes on.
Altered Cosmos Chapter 74; Difficult Place
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
Altered Cosmos Chapter 75; Main Event
That night, all the finalists as well as some of the other students boarded a plane which flew them back to the Russia.By morning, the long awaited WTT final round had arrived, the ‘Main Event’ according to people. 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
Altered Cosmos Chapter 76; A Sight For The Masses
It’s exactly 9:10 am in Russia and every screen in the world was tuned into the tournament with excited eyes.The host, Justin taps some options on his tablet and pulls up a page on the screen where the names of all candidates were displayed before speaking.“Among our 16 finalists, we have 2 from the Western Branch, 3 from the Eastern Branch, 4 from the Northern and 7 from the Southern Branch.” The crowd cheers again just as Miss Balalaika speaks.“The rules of this round are simple. 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
Altered Cosmos Chapter 77; Surpass
Cheers ring from the tournament as the 7th match between Deeva and Reaper began to get interesting. Justin speaks enthusiastically into the mic.“Looks like we have ourselves a cat fight here! Who do you think will come out on top?!” Miss Balalaika just smirks as Hana continues to glare at her opponent.MJ jumps up from her seat and screams out. “Come on, Hana! Kick her sorry butt all the way back to C class!” Craig scoffs with arms folded over his chest. “You never cheered for me, MJ.” Craig grumbled.Mary chuckles to herself, making Craig throw her a suspicious glare. She then winces when MJ screams out again. “Why is everyone so loud?” Mary mumbled. Jake and Levi just stare in concentration as Hana continues to watch Deeva cautiously…just as she began to move forward slowly…“Reaper’s making her move.” Justin commented as Reaper continues to walk forward.Deeva remains unmoved by Hana’s tactic and suddenly, Hana stops, a determined look on her face.She stomps the ground, once aga

A moment of silence hangs in the air as the dust cloud settles with a literal Titan searching the dust below for any movements… just as she stumbles back, staring at the small figure below who pushed her back. “Is that all you got?” MJ grumbled, a hand wiping the dust from her face and her clothes covered in dust. Titan grins at MJ below, cracking her knuckles with a loud pop just as MJ leaps into the air, energy radiating from her fists.MJ suddenly blocks a punch from Titan, the impact sends her crashing into the barrier around them…Titan then attempts to punch her again but MJ bounces off the barrier and rolls onto Titan’s arm before leaping forward and throwing a kick into Titan’s face, causing her to stumble back. Titan then grunts as she grabs MJ in her hand and glares at her.“I’m tired of this.” Titan grumbled. MJ gasps as Titan hurls her into the air...before dealing her a series of punches while moving around her and for someone of her size, it was impressive to see how f
Altered Cosmos Chapter 79; Upgrade
The time is now almost 11am at the arena. The audience both in person and all over the world cheer and chant as the first battle of the second round reaches its climax. Levi stands several metres from Elsa who watches him cautiously as he stared at his hand with sparked with electricity, the heat from it causing the cool air around it to sizzle. Levi asked and B materializes in front of him, humming as she processes his idea. B said, telepathically while gesturing to Elsa with her head.Levi nods as lightning crackles around his body as his static shell reactivates and Elsa reacts with a set of spikes surrounding her, tips as sharp as needles.With a thunderclap, Levi vanishes and Elsa reacts by sending the deadly ice spikes flying towards his speeding figure. But Levi moves with a blur, evading the spikes and destroying others with his electrical gears. Elsa grunts as she suddenly creates a mist of snow and Levi gri

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

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

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
