The Matriarch Chapter 139 Reacquainting
The ringing of the bells attacked to the door alerted the bartender of an arrival. The server was quick to snap out of his daze, having spaced out for some time now.“Welcome to Wishing well cafe…”The man stops midway his greeting, recognizing one of the two individuals that had entered his store. The familiar person threw a nod, which prompted the guy to straighten up and stop what he was doing.It was Oliver and behind him was the curious sir Chris, who looked around at the eerily quiet and empty place. Only the muffled sounds of vehicles on the streets gave it a sense of reality.Same as before, all the seats remained vacated, though the scent of caffeine lingered throughout the entire room. It would make someone think that they kept the coffee shop reserved for them.“I’m here for the usual.”He says after seeing that nobody was there.Like the last time, the bartender raised his fingers before he lets a loud, crunchy snap. In minutes, the cafe got engulfed with that pulsatin
The Matriarch Chapter 140 Pride or certainty
“Sorry about that, Harold. Sir Chris is jumpy after what happened to him.”Oliver claps his hands together when he noticed the scar on the man’s neck. The special private’s grasp was so tight that it left a bruise on the area.“Tell me about it. Hey, at least he’s on our side.”The guy groaned, wincing from the sting that the mark had caused. He was now gently pressing ice on it so lessen the swell.They both chuckled as they threw a glance at the person, recalling that immense pressure that they suffered from the fellow a while ago.The force of it was strong enough to cause them to freeze in place, which gave the impression that the man was truly powerful.It felt comforting that they had him there right now, though Oliver still did not know what the man’s ability was. Just having him there was sufficient to put them at ease.“Yeah, but I don’t get it. These guys. What would they attain by abducting the sergeant?”He went back to their topic at hand, having recovered from the shock
The Matriarch Chapter 141 Special investigators
They’d arrived at a street that was the entry point of pier eight. The houses that stood there were either made of old rusty roofs, light materials such as plywood, or worst tarpaulins strewn together.People of all ages and sizes would walk and run in and out of the area.There were those who were pushing wooden trollies filled with junk to sell at the scrap yard, while some were leaving for work or just arriving from their jobs.Several eyes shifted towards them, bystanders murmuring at one another with their gazes turning sharply.But that did not seem to bother the special private as he continued walking the streets of the said area.“Sir, maybe we shouldn’t go in too far.”Oliver tried reasoning out with the guy, sensing the danger that was afoot. The feel of those glares being thrown at them was enough to make their skin crawl.“You know, you wouldn’t be that obvious if you stop staring and keep your eyes straight.”Chris chuckled, though his own gaze was looking at some stores
The Matriarch Chapter 142 Capture and interrogate
In the middle of pier eight, three individuals were gathered within a room in a makeshift apartment made of wood.One of them was lying on the bed, hands bandaged, while the other two were arguing.“I told you we should have brought those things.”The tallest guy among them grumbled and cursed while he stomp on the wooden boards. All of them felt destitute because of their failure.“What are we going to do now? They will find us because of the traces we left.”The only woman in the group mumbled, tearing up as she could not move her hands and ended up being wounded because of her folly.“It’s not like we had a choice.”The third member groaned, clenching his fist in anger because they couldn’t do anything.“Did you guys feel that?”The first fellow states, feeling the sudden change in the air, together with the trembling on the floor.“You’re being too paranoid, we still have a chance to...”Before the second guy could finish his sentence, the roof falls down, rubbles spreading everyw
The Matriarch Chapter 143 A more solid lead
“You can’t be serious.”Oliver hissed, gawking at the special private because of what he had said.After all the trouble that they did to capture the trio, he couldn’t believe that they were not the guys who kidnapped Raynald.Besides that, he was certain that the energy traces of all three were there during the incident, as he can now confirm it with his senses.“I think it’s true, officer. Sergeant told me before he had some people from outside.”It was Harold who calmed him down, noticing that he was breathing heavily from that development.In the end, he could not do anything, seeing how calm and compose sir Chris was, as he was freeing them from the vines.“Why don’t we start with introductions before we proceed? My name is Chris Cruz, and that armored soldier is officer Oliver Gently, and the posh looking fellow next to him is Harold Von. We are friends of Sergeant Raynald Sanchez. May we know who you are?”The man states, letting out that warm smile of his as he introduced them
The Matriarch Chapter 144 The other teams
“Now that we’ve cleared that out. Can you tell your friends outside not to attack us?”Harold forced a chuckle.Not wanting to show that he was concerned or worried about it.Somehow with how their conversation went, and how the trio currently had this look of awe at the special private, as they had this glint in their eyes while gazing at him.“Yes, I would really want to avoid any kind of violence.”Sir Chris sighed with a smile on his face.With a snap of the man’s fingers, the roots that had returned to normal a while ago now became thicker and started wriggling at the ready. Some even had twisted to create a more screwy looking points on their tips.While Oliver made an armor appear on his chest and head that had this metallic blue glow, along with baring the claws in his gloves again.“What do you mean?”Arnold frowned, feeling the instant change in the room’s atmosphere. The area now had this thick, almost choking air, making it hard to breathe.The surprising thing was it didn
The Matriarch Chapter 145 Misunderstandings
“Throw in everything you’ve got!”Dereck ordered his friend to release all the energy that they had accumulated while preparing. With a gust of wind, his fire turned into a whirlwind of blaze, swirling straight for their opponents.The heat was enough to make the entire room to turn into somewhat like an over, causing everyone there to flinch from the intensity of the flames.“Sir, please stay behind me, you too Harold!”Oliver, with his armor, produced a large shield to take the attack head on, leading to a massive blast upon its impact.The three battle it out, showing their mettle against one another. But it seems the combination of fire and wind was not enough for the young officer as he was barely breaking a sweat from defending.“They’re quite the rowdy bunch, aren’t they?”Sir Chris tilted his head in amusement, somewhat fascinated at how the group seem to lack order and communication.It made him think how they could stay together like that if none of them listened to one anot
The Matriarch Chapter 146 Difference in power
“Sir, they seem to be getting ready for a big attack.”Harold whispers, noticing the rise in energy of the two guys that were there.Both were bent on fighting up to their last strength, but there was one thing that was noticeable in them.“Can you increase the space a bit more?”Chris requests.After evaluating the current size of the area, there was a slight chance that things may go out of control, considering that the energy that the youngster was storing up was stronger than before.“Again, sir?”That made Harold frown with a pouty face.It was already taking all of his concentration to keep that pocket dimension intact and increasing it would force him towards his limit.From a measly twenty-four square meter room, the area was now ten times bigger than it was before.“Sorry, but please bear with it. Seems I’ll need more arm space to calm these guys down.”As he knows his own capacity, he understood that the field they were in was not big enough to release his special roots.As

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

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
