Gotta love how you finally revealed that Leena once had blonde hair in such a humourous way. Now I'm just dreading the moment when Leah fully realises she's just killed her best friend. D: And who was her source, damnit?! Must be Seth. Cannot believe she believed him. D: That will be revealed inevitably, yes?

Great to see some of the old characters again. Hayley and Gabby, I've missed you so! Gotta agree with Valor on how likeably intense Gabby's and Mia's ... discussions are. Hoho. And it's good to know Evan's dad, and several council members, aren't as cold-hearted as Felicia's dad.
It's also quite interesting to see Seth when he hadn't become an Anomaly yet too. He got tackled down so casually...haha!

Looking forward to the next chapter as always! ...Though not on what will happen. Damn...Mia going out of control. That will be painful. :(

Damn man,

so much to take in

I'm gonna enjoy this arc XD

Damn. Leena... she ain't gonna be in Rush Hour 3!

So you managed to combine Jesse (Quinton), Aizen (Seth), Symbiote Spider-Man (Sophie), and Digimon Kaiser (Leah) into a chapter. I honestly didn't expect that.

The setup is nice because $h!t just got real with Leena bleeding to death, Leah's (reality) check's in the mail baby, Sophie Rage Mode (impressive battle, though) and of course Seth's return and brainwash jutsu. The God Realm is looking quite unholy right about now. Things are falling apart like... *ahem* dominoes.

Matt's obtainment of Harmony's powers was interesting, if only because the elemental balance comes into play here. Something to think about.

Looking forward to the next volume...

...8!7ch.

And so I get onto the second volume... I'm really enjoying all the scheming and politics. It feels a little like the second season of Bleach in that way. And now... Sophie, what are ya doing!?

I've finally found the time to start from scratch and read through your sequel properly. The first 3 chapters have been awesome - I like the hints that there are some secrets in Leena's past to discover, and I'm very excited to see what the God Realm holds. Awesome job Josh, sorry this is soooo late! I will continue reading in earnest.

HOLY SHIT MAN

THIS IS EPIC!

AHHH! SETH'S ALIVE? NO WAY!
And I really enjoyed this chapter! just the right amount of fighting and drama!

James dying by Lee's hands...oh, man. That is going to turn out bloody and explosive when Hieshi and him start fighting. Quite a few surprises here, man ... I hope the Adjutants break free from the mind-control soon. (

Sophie ... shit ... she went blind with rage. I quite like her flaming Affinity Soul though. And what's that about Leena being at the bottom of the river? Gaaah, and that won't be answered till after the flashbacks. Will Lord Domino punish Seth now that he's revealed himself? I'd do like to see what is Lord Domino's fighting style.

Your narrative style really does get to the point, complementing with how short and packed AW is compared to Anomaly. I may have to check Anomaly again to check out the differences in style, but I'll do that later lol. Anyway, great work. )

Leila and her explosions...

Pretty good chapter. Crap really hit the fan. Lots of set up for the arc after the next one as well. I really want to see what's going on in this desperate fight for the fate of the world.

Cool story bro! Nice end to this one. On to the next!

Daamn. Tensions are rising everywhere.

I wonder who was the Eclipse associate Leah was talking about ... it can't be Seth or Gaff. Obvious reason why it's not Seth; she resisted to join him so she may not trust him, also, she could have just said his name again when Leena asked. And Gaff says the only female survivors were blondes ... and Leena's not currently blonde.

So, either Leena was a blonde before or that girl that Leah claims Leena has killed is still roaming about. Hmm... damn, the tragedy if Leena was blonde before; Leah would go even crazier. Though, Leena didn't find anything familiar about Leah and vice versa ... unless someone like Seth placed a heavy mental block on both of them, to just enjoy what would happen afterwards. D:

Looking forward to seeing the next chapter. :D

HOLY SHIT DUDE

THIS WAS AWESOME!

Ah, so that explains where the Yatagarasu ended up. Apparently you researched all these Souls already, huh? A rather interesting fight with the mollusk, especially how it utilized its tentacles to turnabout the situation. Adrianne was snatched up good like a little thief taking candy from a baby.

That Quinton fellow is an oddball with a tendency to swear, but his heart is in the right place. His bond with Sergeant is strong like a family. I doubt there would be any conflict between the two. As a matter of fact, that one quip about a certain activity involving a cellmate hit the funny mark. I applaud you for not going into every nook and cranny of detail about this hypothetical. Why not use a Shoryuken? If the opportunity ever comes, layeth the fist of the dragon upon thy chin.

Fights are quite interesting and it's good that they don't last very long. I'd dabble on further, but I'd rather seek this "truth" about Leena that Leah was about to reveal from last chapter's cliffhanger. No doubt this trial by fire will be the key to Leena's blurred memories.

Show all the affinity souls!

I really like the flashback at the start. Man, to think that Quinton was that lazy back then; he's really grown. This is indeed Quinton's chapter.

Nice to see the cameo of one of th villains in the past. A bit of a surprise to know that Quinton greatly admires Sergeant (his actual name is gonna stay as a mystery isn't it? Quite curious to see his wife now) and acted as a role model for him since the military days. Sure Quinton will never be as prepared as Sergeant but he has the bravery and can certainly fight. He definitely showed Ace that.

As usual, I love how you mix the humour in with other aspects such as battle scenes very well. Loved Ash's snark about Sophie being in another castle. And... d'aaw, Sophie really is softening up, by referring to Yoshino as a friend. Will Ash have a talk with Sophie about her damaging of body parts, I wonder. I wanna see more scenes of them! :D

The mention of modifications...I...I'm just gonna ignore that part. Glad that Yoshino came back to kick his ass.

Can't wait to see more of the Sergeant and Quinton duo, and Valor, in battles scenes. So glad that Gaff got saved by him. We need more Darkness buddies on Leena's side.

Eagerly awaiting the next chapter. Hopefully they can get out of the zones unharmed, like how Quinton did with Ace's Darkness zone.

It's been a while since the last one, but this one was worth the wait. It's nice to have gotten some more backstory on Quinton and Sargeant and it looks like we'll be seeing some really interesting fights in the next chapter. I'm particularly looking forward to Phalanx vs Valor and Axel vs Xion. Its gonna be great.
