The Matriarch Chapter 116 A doubt in belief
They were taking a stroll within the castle gardens after that little debate.It didn’t bode well for him, especially after the youngsters starting asking questions about why he had done that, instead of fighting them off.Cortus and the others were questioning his reasoning behind all that, cause even he seemed he did not understand himself that time.“Weren’t you too harsh with little one? I thought you’ve already moved on with his use of magic?”Hemlock states. His expression showed concern as he notices the pain and weight on Asron’s face.“He used Herlein’s womb to create that weapon!”It still pained him to know that they did such an atrocity on his beloved wife. That was the one thing that he could not get over with up to now.“And how do you think would he have saved your son if he did not use it?”The wizard asks, piqued by such a reasoning, considering that the human had already explained himself well.He had also wanted to make his friend understand the entire situation was
The Matriarch Chapter 117 Price of royalty
“Why did you do it?”Cortus’s voice was deep, calm, but filled with anger.His shoulders were rising with each breath, his stare was blank, yet there was this glint of fire in them right now.“What are you pertaining to?”Asron remained stern.Though he had an idea, he wish it to come out from the youth’s mouth, as he wanted to test his mettle to see if he still had the guts to spit it out.“The princess. You could have taken her, used her to escape. And yet you didn’t. Why?”Cortus repeated with clarity and straight tone. It took Asron aback, sensing his hostility.After his banter with Chris, he had been thinking of a way to defend himself, but until then, he still could not come up with a valid excuse, holding that all of it was worthless because their village was gone.“I have my reasons. You wouldn’t understand.”He states. He’d rather not have an argument with the young warrior right now, cause he could feel the tension in his voice.“That’s it? No explanations or anything?”It
The Matriarch Chapter 118 Right on point
The whole situation haunted Asron’s thoughts that he could not sleep soundly. He pondered on it the entire night, all the while sitting on the throne.Until morning he remained there, hands on his chin, resting on the chair’s arm, looking at the outside.As per what Chris has said, it came out like a warning for him, reminding him of his shortcomings.The idea of his men betraying him again, the thought of the horrors of losing his people because of his lack of judgement may very well repeat itself because of that.And even with that in mind, he still could not doubt them, having fought alongside them during the resistance against the krads had proven their mettle and loyalty to him.His contemplating stopped the moment the large double doors opened, letting in all his chosen advisers. Along them was Hemlock, whose face remained indifferent, probably because of their argument yesterday.“Good morning, our liege.”All of them greeted in unison, bowing their heads in respect.He gives t
The Matriarch Chapter 119 Clarity and reality
“Was I truly that gullible?”Asron couldn’t believe what was happening. After the whole meeting, all the fear that had been haunting him was taking place.It made him anxious, angry, and disappointed considering that he had chosen them to guide him on his rule, and yet they were already betraying his trust.“Wow, you’ve finally realized that.”Hemlock rolled his eyes, scoffing as he waves his hands in the air in utter amusement at the thought.That forced the drogan warrior to throw a sharp gaze at his friend, not appreciating that he was rubbing it on him.That made the grand wizard heaved a sigh, shaking his head in disbelief that his companion was truly clueless about all of it.“Let me remind you that people change. They may be the ones whom you fought with during the battle against the Krads, but the fight you have now is a completely different field. Their methods here are less commendable.”The mage explains with a creased face, still feeling angry that he had doubted him when
The Matriarch Chapter 120 Corrupted council
Asron’s face remained straight as he watched the council walk in.They had these wide smiles on their faces while discussing something he was unaware of.Each one of them seemed sunshiny, displaying their most expensive and well-made clothing from their lands.It drove his eyes to twitch, to think that these were the people that he knew recently.Individuals who rarely gave a damn about what they were wearing or what they had, and only fought for the betterment of their denizens.Yet now they seem more like those who ruled them before, rather than the allies that he had remembered.“Good morning, our liege.”All of them said in unison.Once again, they had lined up in a manner that he could see all of them from where he was sitting. They divided themselves from a group of those within the left and the right, and kept a path in the middle.“We come bearing gifts for you. Complements of our new allies.”The head councilman gleefully states, before bowing down to gesture at the door.Sev
The Matriarch Chapter 121 Day of reckoning
Asron sat on a throne outside of the castle, placed on a stage that was overlooking down on the town.Masses of the city’s denizens gathered to witness the coronation, filling up the entire plaza where they could view the ceremony.They positioned guards all over the place, but they were all from the western and northern army. As the southern troops were all placed on patrols.“My lord, we congratulate you on your triumph.”The advisers all said in unison as they all clapped their hands, making the crowd cheer when they put the crown upon his head by the eldest of them.Asron’s face remained stern, unmoved as he observed all the people that were there. The only reaction that he did was tapping on the hilt of his sword that Chris gave him.It made him felt safe, confident, and firm while surrounded by individuals that he was uncertain he could trust.“And now, our king will give his first proclamation.”The leader of the council announces to the citizens, making them quiet down. At tha
The Matriarch Chapter 122 Current affairs
Asron kept on sighing as he listened in on the morning report. Even if he didn’t feel like it, he needed to know of the things that were going on around them, to make sure that he could protect everyone.The only thing that was keeping him amused during that time was because Chris was playing with Aslein on the corner of the room, who was in his infant form.So he was able to watch them from his throne.“They have separated the council into three factions as of late. There’s the one who’re now busy bolstering their forces and defenses for the upcoming waves of krads, mainly made up of the outer lords.”He raises a hand to stop Hemlock when he heard that unfamiliar name. It caused him to raise a brow as he faced the wizard.“Since when did we segregate them?”He asks, confused at the choice of word. He was uncomfortable hearing it, and he did not feel comfortable with them giving names to the people outside, considering it was the usual manner of the old royals.“We didn’t, they did.”
The Matriarch Chapter 123 An overwhelming threat
Chris continued to ponder, watching Aslein play in his true form was causing him to think of several things in his life.He was having second thoughts of going back to his world, understanding the influenced he had brought to the denizens of that land already. Not to mention that he was now worried about the safety of the little baby.It made him anxious, knowing that he would have to leave the infant all alone in that insanely barbaric realm.He’d grown so attach to him he didn’t know what to do.It was during this moment of contemplation that Asron walks in, sitting behind them to observe how his son was playing.“Little one. May I have a word with you?”The drogan states after a few moments of enjoyment. The fellow thought it best to begin their talk while they were both in good spirits.Surprise caught Chris that it took him a while to put on that sarcastic smile of his, boasting a wide grin and an almost craze look in his eyes.He got used to it in order to annoy or scare off any

Prologue An impending doom
Within the darkness, on a floating platform made of trees, vines, and krad carcasses, was Chris, sitting on a throne of spikes and bent trunk, along with the wriggling doctor. The roots of the fauna continued to grab hold of the now silent machinery, as it too remained helpless in the void.“We can breathe! Fascinating.”Steinz chuckled, as they were both able to remain alive, even within the emptiness of the space. A thing which was impossible. The chill prevailed, together with the silence, but it did not bother both of them, being protected by the makeshift vessel.“Let’s see you enjoy it when you get bored with the place.”Chris grumbles, sighing as he narrowed his gaze onto the infernal device. The object may have stopped, but he was certain its power remained.“I am positive we can find a way to kill boredom in someway.”The old geezer let out another cackle, enjoying his weightlessness, swimming within the nothingness like a serpentine fish. He used his webs as an anchor, makin
Chapter 231 The matriarchs power
The skies began opening up, tornadoes appeared increasingly. It started wreaking havoc, along with the continued earthquakes.Chris witnessed it all, watching how the land was breaking because of the machine. He took in a deep breath, feeling the drudge in his chest, contemplating on his plan if it will work.He’d been starting there for an hour now, and all this time, he was having doubts because of the fear which was nudging inside of him.He was so far in his thoughts that he hardly notice the portal opening nearby. Out came Raynald, a healed up Oliver, and the others.All of them stunned to see him just standing there, unmoved by all the chaos, looking into the nothingness with lifeless eyes.“Matriarch, everything all right?”It was the sergeant who asked, being the only one bold enough to approach and check up on him.That wake him from his dreamlike state, sensing those familiar energies. He smiles, having those warm presence surrounding him.Them being there somehow jolted his
Chapter 230 The first
Chris stared above, watching that beautiful large planet in the sky. He smiles, unable to believe that they are going to collide with such a gorgeous thing.He turns his gaze to the pyramid, humming non-stop. Spike roots rot around it, barely touching the area. The golems which tried to go near the site all crumbled.Once again, he fires a shot. The beam deflects, ricocheting on the nearby tree.He clicks his tongue in frustration. The machine had created its own barrier. He could only find out after getting pushed back when he approached it.“Fascinating, isn’t it? My life’s work.”The gurgling voice states.Chris’s eyes rolled, huffing in irritation before turning to the now crawling geezer.The old man’s head popped out of the body of a large beetle larvae, web like mucus continued to flow out of him, three hands twitching with excitement.Even in his new form, the fellow remained pompous of his job, as it showed in how he gaze at the mechanism.“Yes, I would have commended you for
Chapter 229 Merciful or Ruthless
After an hour of fighting, general Gently’s men started retreating, disappearing within the covers of the mist. The man himself withdrew into the veil of that thick, grayish cloud.The doctor’s lackeys cheered in triumph, having push back their enemy who tried to destroy their weapon. All of them letting out laughs, because even the monsters that were charging in had vanished.Chris watch as the group celebrated their victory and after a thorough observation, he confirmed his theory about them.Once they became complacent enough, he makes his move, stepping out of the guise of the fog calmly.“I knew you were still alive. Doctor Howard Steinz.”He states, narrowing his sights at the man who stood in the middle of them all.The geezer’s smile faded, frowning upon seeing him walk unfazed in front of all those men.The crowd was quick to gather, blocking themselves in defense of the elderly fellow.Those who had a barrier ability created a gigantic dome, protecting both the machine and t
Chapter 228 Decisive Battle
Above them, the cloud ridden sky sparked and roared, as the unrivaled beings clashed with each other.Behind them, booms of cannons and rattling of machine guns continued, and in front, debris would fall off from the top, while flashes of different colored lights would appear, together with the sounds of explosions.Chris remained still, staring at the two individuals flying in the air while cooking up a plan inside his head.“Matriarch, you think it was wise to use him?”It was Finny, fidgeting from the pressure in the atmosphere.Both superpowers kept releasing an immense trace of energy, reaching down below.It continued to make them sense the overpowering presence, causing the unbearable sensation of staying there, since they still got that fear of the danger being close by.“Zero can handle himself.”He mutters the name they gave him, confident that the being is strong enough to take on his opponent.The only trouble they had was the stray beam falling down, blowing up a portion
Chapter 227 Special weapon
Chris narrowed his eyes, feeling every bit of his body trembled in anticipation. His adrenaline was trashing about, his hearts continued to pump uncontrollably fast.The amount of aura the man was releasing was as he had expected, inciting a higher excitement in him.A grin formed inside his mask, unable to hide the sheer joy he was experiencing from relief.“Get him out of here.”He orders, not removing his eyes on the guy.From having witnessed the battle with Oliver unfold a moment ago, he was now used to his speed, so he realized how much effort he needed to exert to stop him.Though he stood straight, his fingers were twitching, alert to take out his weapon if the fellow tried to move from his place.A portal opened beside the wounded youngster, letting out Harold, Raynald, Finny, and Marco. All four were wearing masks, hiding their identity from the guy.The double S class stayed in a steady battle pose, weary of beginning an attack after that. Especially because his wound conti
Chapter 226 To be the strongest
The force that Oliver released blasted away all five mercenaries.The others caught the effects of his sudden surge, because of the wind blowing from him from the pressure.The double S class, Carl, who grinned lasciviously while looking down on the events as it unfolded, also mesmerized by the dazzling display.Oliver’s armor completely changed. It now glistened with a blinding white light, the design on each piece that he wore became more intricate.“What did he do?”Nikolai, the serpentine user, was gritting his teeth, trying to keep himself steady.The pressure being thrown at them made it difficult to move. It’s weight pushing them down to the ground.When everything settled, they all sensed an impending gap in their levels, just by looking at the youth.Oliver can feel the power surging through every vein in his body, increasing all his senses.It was as if it turned him invincible at the moment, having an overflowing amount of energy, along with becoming so light on his feet.W
Chapter 225 A decisive gamble
Oliver’s heart raced, each time someone turns his way, his blood rushing as he continued moving in the mist's guise. His every motion stayed silent, quick, and fluid.He pauses when he reaches the summit, as the clearing no longer provided any kind of protection. It was where the opening yet did not have any area to hide.He takes a few huffs of breath, shutting his eyes to muster his courage, readying himself for what he is about to do.Once done, he did not hesitate to take a step forward, having put all his mind into it. In seconds, he dashes about five meters into the clearing, but his momentum was not enough to reach the gap.“It’s the sniffer!”One soldier got a glimpse of him, gaining the attention of the others. All those that were in reserve promptly rush to the site.But he had already broken through the force field, slamming his shield right into it without a problem.He uses the sudden pause as a leverage to shift his movement, turning to his side to head towards the pyram
Chapter 224 A single man's risk
Flames, flashes of light, and debris mixed into the mist. There was barely nothing to see there because of it.Screams of terror, despair, and anger filled the air, along with the explosions and shots now and then.Deep within the middle of it all, Oliver was pulling his father to the safety of a nearby mound that he saw. Away from all the beams, bullets, and other stuff that were flying around.“Come on, dad.”He urges, as his old man could no longer move, groaning with each motion because of the wound on his legs.They froze in place, hearing a loud clicking sound behind. Instinctively, he let out a shield, blocking a claw in the nick of time.He winced, receiving the brunt and weight of the force, his bones cracking, forcing him to bend his knee to weaken its pressure.Huge mandibles began munching on his defense, attacking to break through it, while its scythe claws pulled at him. All he could do was tug at it, drawing its attention to hide his father from those large, dark, insec
