The Matriarch Chapter 128 Old comrades
“Oliver, over here.”The voice called out from afar. The man was standing on the other side of the street.He quickly rushes to him, smiling as he waves at him in sheer joy.Officer Oliver Gently couldn’t help but smile, seeing a familiar face after a long time.After the incident a few years ago, which enabled him to gain powers and got listed as a power user.The guy had risen to rank in the military. From a measly rank D class, he was now considered a class B after his achievements and the growth of his abilities.“Sergeant!”He gave a quick salute to the fellow.Another officer who had come into position because of the same situation as he was.Of course, they deemed Raynald Sanchez class B from the start. The moment his other powers awakened, the government promptly administered him as a class A.The two had agreed to meet up in a coffee shop in the city, as the man wanted to have a chat with him.Oliver, being the guy he was, did not pass up the chance to once again get acquaint
The Matriarch Chapter 129 To rile up interest
“We spotted him wandering around area seventy-five.”Raynald continued.Noticing how dumbstruck the young officer was.The guy remained gaping, mouth moving for several times, but could not say any word.He found it humorous watching the fellow try to recuperate, forcing himself to regain that soldier like composure he had a while ago, but failed miserably.It took him all his strength to keep his face straight, holding on to his laughter as he watch Oliver prattle on.Then again, there was no blaming the poor kid, considering the shock of the news was too exceptional that he reverted instantaneously to that childlike state of his.The guy had fawned over power users so much that when he had met one who had given him such attention; it turned into instant idolization, especially after receiving that gift of becoming one himself.Of course, nobody could confirm this theory, but seeing as their country was the only one to do it, meant that it had some semblance to the reality.“Wait, th
The Matriarch Chapter 130 Proof of innocence
“How is sir Chris?”Oliver asks.Finally, having the guys’ attention and interest, Raynald did not hesitate to answer. There was no reason for him to stall anymore, also he was itching to tell him about the current situation of the man.“Though he looks fine. I cannot really say much about his well being.”He heaved a sigh, remembering the sorry state of the special private. The way he kept mumbling during the whole check up about monsters, and then the numerous wounds he saw, he can’t be sure that the guy was all right.“What do you mean?”That made the young officer frown, swallowing hard because of the sudden nudge in his chest.“I think something happened to him inside that mist. And I can assure you, it wasn’t pleasant.”After many accounts of attack reported by patrols, and all those marks of scratches and bites on sir Chris’s equipment.He was certain that there was a mystery within that white fog that they were unaware of. The only problem is, he could not find any kind of pro
The Matriarch Chapter 131 Seal the deal
“Actually, it’s been proven that no such thing exist, but what if instead of a man-made device, it was really a natural phenomenon?”Oliver states.Once the sergeant hears that, his pale complexion turned, changed, and returned to its usual color.Yet, it still reached the guy a few moments to fix himself from his seat, clearing his throat to calm down from that sudden sense of shock that he recovered from.“Sorry, you lost me there.”Raynald had to shake his head in order to wake himself up from that daze he got stuck in.They took that minute to have a sip of their drinks, seeing that the ice in their glasses had melted and mixed with the liquid.The moment of silence gave them both a chance to take a breather and gather their thoughts.“What if the mist was a portal to some other place where the beast are coming from?”Oliver starts.His gaze was again stern, looking straight at his companion. There was this deep shadow while he stared. Unable to disguise that foreboding sense that
The Matriarch Chapter 132 The new special private
The moment they stepped into the place, the powerful smell of that medicine and alcohol assaulting their noses, piercing straight into their brains like some drill.The room was big enough for ten people but only had a single bed in the middle, mirrors on all sides, with a neat white tile on the floor and cushions on the wall.There, sitting on his mattress, was the guy they were looking for, rocking back and forth, as he could not move much because of the jacket that looped around his body.“What did you do to him?”Raynald’s voice boomed, glaring at the fellow wearing a white lab coat upon laying eyes on the special private.Yet he only received a bored gaze from the staff, even having the gall to raise a brow from the reaction.“Doctor’s orders.”The man shrugs like it was nothing.“What do you mean? He was fine when you took him from out of our camp!”No longer able to hold on to his anger, the sergeant grabs on to the medic’s collar.The guy flinched and gasp when he got hoisted
The Matriarch Chapter 133 Another predicament
“The doctor said he’s fine and there’s nothing to worry about.”Oliver sighed.The lad takes another look inside the room. The private was asleep, peacefully laid on the bed. Thankfully, not much transpired during their ride home.They took him to Oliver’s house that day; it being secured and within the city.“But what the hell just happened back there?”Raynald grumbled.He still could not believe that his body reacted out of fear from the attack.Even though he was confident with his own powers and invulnerability, something in his mind told him that the man’s punch was dangerous and could have very well harmed him.Just remembering it gave him goosebumps all over, causing his entire being to tremble in terror.“They agitated sir Chris with what they did.”Was all the lad could say, forcing a smile like it was not a big deal.Opposite the old officer, the chill that he was feeling right now was because of sheer excitement.The thought of how the man moved and reacted even when sedat
The Matriarch Chapter 134 No guts, no surrender
“Fuck, you ain’t no ordinary mercenaries, are you?”Raynald growled, keeping his fist up in defense.He could taste the blood on his mouth upon getting sucker punched in the face. A kick then followed it from a different attacker, before receiving a strike on the back by a third individual.The three moved with such coordination that his eyes could barely follow them. Not to mention all of them kept landing a good amount of blow on his body.Even with his hardening ability, their attacks prove difficult, since each hit he’d get from them felt like it vibrated within his insides.But the sudden tingling sensation coming from them gave him a good grasp to know where they would attack. The only problem was that he could not follow their speed and actions.“Stepan, don’t!”One screamed aloud with such a soft voice that it gave them out.But the warning came too late as Raynald had compressed enough of his energy the moment he felt they were about to jump at him.The other two were able to
The Matriarch Chapter 135 Lost and dread
Sirens continued to wail as several more vehicles arrived. Red lights kept glowing, along with the increasing numbers of police officers moving all over the place.People had already gathered in the area so the officials were busy breaking the crowd, as more on lookers were trying to take picture and peeking at what else they could see behind the yellow line that was placed around there.Of course, the said parameter hid little, considering the entire park had turned pitch black, along with scorch marks from the outside.Since Oliver was close by and being on the investigative committee, he was one of the first to be on the scene.But until then, he could not help but stare at that singular from afar, which was considered the origin of attack. Unable to believe that this would be possible.“Any details on what could have happened here?”A police officer asks because of the long silence. The man was tapping on his pen on the pad, pouting after a deep sigh.That woke Oliver from his pon

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
