Chapter 20: The Blackmailer, Part II

"I tracked down our leads, but I did not find the blackmailer. Cypher claims the message encryption was untraceable, so for now we must search the old way. There has been no further word from this person, yes?" Sova continued, determined to find the culprit.

"Nothing. Not sure if that's a good thing or not," Brimstone responded, feeling uncertain about the situation. The lack of contact from the blackmailer left him with mixed feelings.

Sova let out a sigh from the other end of the line. "Hard to say if that is good or ill. I will keep searching. That is all," he said before ending the call, resolute in his determination to track down the mysterious individual.

Brimstone placed his device back into his pocket and let out a heavy exhale. His gaze remained fixed on Yoru and Neon behind the glass panel. "How did it go?" Sage inquired, noticing the concern on his face.

"I know that expression. It's not good news, is it?" Skye remarked. Brimstone nodded solemnly. "I might have to send Cypher to help him with the search," he replied.

Lisbon, Portugal, Omega Earth

As the environmental crisis in Omega reached a critical point, the city of Lisbon faced the relentless onslaught of rising tides, threatening to submerge it in the depths of the ocean. Determined to protect the city and its inhabitants, the Valorant Legion and Kingdom Industries united their efforts, working tirelessly to construct geo-domes that would shield parts of Lisbon from the encroaching waters. Despite the inevitable challenges posed by the unforgiving Atlantic, the completion of the geo-domes offered a glimmer of hope, allowing the people of Lisbon to continue their lives beneath the waves.

The Pearl District geo-dome, situated on the picturesque Portuguese coast of Omega Earth, stood as a testament to human resilience and hope. Within this dome, Omega y/n, now known as Glitch, found himself standing in the Garden of Heroes, where statues of valorous heroes from the Valorant Legion were built. Sage, Omen, Phoenix, and Jett. As he gazed upon these symbolic figures, he couldn't help but reconsider his previous beliefs about heroes. Perhaps they were not merely boastful tales after all. Perhaps they really intend to protect their world from harm.

A thought crossed Omega Glitch's mind, wondering if one day he, too, would be recognized as a hero. Despite his deeds before joining the Valorant Legion, he had never received such acknowledgment. His actions were not fueled by the desire for fame, but the idea of having a memorial statue dedicated to him sparked a flicker of longing within him. Would the world someday appreciate the sacrifices he had made and the challenges he had overcome?

As Glitch found himself lost in contemplation, a voice broke through his reverie, pulling him back to the present. "How do I look?" The voice came from behind him, and he turned to see a figure clad in a sleek black suit, with a vibrant red mask concealing their face. It didn't take long for Glitch to recognize the person beneath the mask – it was Bilal.

A smile spread across Glitch's face as he jokingly remarked, "You weren't this muscular when you woke up from cryostasis." Bilal unmasked himself and playfully responded, "I just ate a lot, you know." However, Glitch knew the truth. Ever since Bilal's awakening, he had been dedicating himself to rigorous training, fueled by a desire to protect his world and his sister, Hazal.

"The others are here too," Bilal said as he stepped aside. A group of Pseudo-Radiants appeared in Glitch's view, donning black and grey uniforms with a striking touch of red on their masks' eyes. These were the individuals Glitch had freed from the facility, and seeing them stand together filled him with pride and satisfaction.
